I'm bored," Eleanor pouted.“Don't worry, Bright is around; if you need anything, inform him, " Jerome said."But where are you going?" She looked up and saw him dressing. "There is an emergency. I need to attend to it," Jerome answered."What's happening?""Don't worry; I will tell you everything once everything is settled. Bright is around; if you need anything, just tell him.""Alright, don't be late." Eleanor gave him a peck, and Jerome left for the company.The only person who would do this is James.He walked to James' office."Oh, look who is here. The legendary CEO. What pleasure do I owe you?" James smirked."James, can you explain this budget discrepancy?" Jerome didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.James feigned ignorance, “Discrepancy? Let me take a look.” He peered at the document. “What is the document all about? I don't get it.” Since Jerome didn't discuss it with him, he acted as if he didn't know anything.“James, don't try to act smart with me
The old master called James and Jerome the following day.“Grandfather, why did you call for me?" Even though he knew why he was being called, he still asked.“James, what came over you?” The old master stared at his grandson with a complicated look. Even though he understood the fact that his son felt betrayed when he handed the company to Jerome, he would do anything in his power to be the heir. What he didn't understand was why he wanted to tarnish the company's image.“Father, this is a false accusation. I didn't do anything. The video is fake," Mr. James denied. He stared at Jerome with hatred in his eyes. 'You, wait, I will surely get rid of you one day.’ He thought to himself.“I knew you would say it was fake so I tested the authentication of the video, and everything is fine.” The old master was boiling with anger."I am sorry father, I don't know what came over me. Please forgive me, this was never my intention. Please, father, forgive.” He bent down on his knees and started
Far away from Los Angeles, Mia sat on the couch and stared at her baby bump. Ever since the strange man took her in, life has been very comfortable. She eats whatever she wants and dresses however she likes, like a young mistress from a rich family.“Miss, the boss is here to see you," the servant taking care of Mia announced.“He is here?" Mia was startled. After the man brought her two months ago, she hasn't seen him again. Why is he suddenly here?Adams entered and scrutinized the environment. “How do you feel about this place?" he asked with no emotions in his tone.“Thank you very much. I love it," Mia answered.“Good, it's good that you like it. Let me know if you don't like anything here. I will change it for you."“How do I contact you? I don't have your number." Mia was confused. After her mother's funeral was over, the man appeared like a ghost. She was immediately brought to Washington with no means to contact him.“Just tell the servant about it. He will inform me," the ma
Bright, trying to avoid any further confrontation, simply nodded and gestured towards the entrance. "Let's go inside. Miss Eleanor is waiting for you.”“Does she live here?" Rosca was surprised. She stopped in her tracks and asked with doubt.“Yes," Bright answered.Rosca still didn't know whether to go inside or if she should stay outside. Eleanor isn't rich, and neither is her family. She didn't have a rich boyfriend, so how was she able to afford such a house? It was a mansion. To satisfy her curiosity, she went inside and saw Eleanor sitting in the hall with a television remote in her hands.“Eleanor," she called to her happily.“My baby girl is here." Eleanor stood up to hug her.Rosca stared at her for a while. She felt like Eleanor's body had changed. She scrutinized her very carefully and questioned, “You... are you pregnant?" She felt her question was dumb. How can someone who doesn't have a boyfriend get pregnant?”"What?" Eleanor lifted her eyebrow and asked."I mean... are
In the dimly lit hideout, the boss, a shadowy figure in the underworld, gathered the gang for a crucial meeting. The air hung heavy with anticipation as the boss leaned in, his voice low and commanding."Listen up, everyone. We've got a job that needs to be done right. Tony, you're on wheels duty. Get those goods from point A to B without raising any eyebrows," the boss instructed, eyes piercing through the smoke-filled room. Tony, a seasoned driver with a hardened demeanor, nodded in silent acknowledgment. "You got it, boss. Smooth as silk."Maria, the strategist, chimed in, "I'll handle the route. We need to avoid any trouble spots. We can't afford any slip-ups."Carlos, busy tapping away on a laptop, interjected, "I'll keep an eye on the tech side. Cameras, police scanners – everything. We need to be ghosts out there."The boss leaned back, assessing the determined faces of the gang. "This isn't just about delivering goods; it's about reputation. We do this right, and we cement ou
"Now that the operation has been successful, gradually we will rule the world. What's left is the ring." The Boss of the Golden Stool sat at the head of the table, surrounded by his team. He was happy about the progress of the organization. Very soon they will surpass the Moonlight organizations after all they don't have the ring with them. And they are nothing without the ring. "Boss, how do we get the ring?" Maria asked."That is why we need to find where the ring is. I heard the ring is in at Caddel’s family. Eudia’s son has been found so I'm sure he has the ring. Investigate more to know about the young man, so we will know the strength of our enemies," the boss said."Alright, boss," the gang members said in unison.In a different organization, a young lady with a cold expression stood in front of a window. Her frozen expression made it difficult for her members to approach her."Tisha, we have been searching for this ring for the past twenty-four years, but to no avail. Now man
This time, the old man reacted. His eyes widened with shock, his fist clenched tightly. “What about the organization?" The old man calmed down and asked coolly.“I learned from my grandfather that my mother was the queen of all the Mafia gangs. I want to find out more about it.”The old man looked at Jerome like he was stupid. This little fool didn't his grandfather tell him how dangerous it is. "Do you want to be your mother's successor?"“Yes,” Jerome answered without hesitating."Didn't your grandfather tell you how dangerous the organization is? Also, you can only become the leader if you have the ring with you." The old man knows old master Caddel might have given the ring to Jerome. He wanted to test him and see if he would give him the ring or tell him the whereabouts of the ring."Mr. Clark, there is no need to be bothered about the ring. I have my way to get it. All I need is for you to tell me about the organization,” Jerome wasn't angry nor was he in a hurry. He crossed his
Jerome walked out of the mansion with a heavy heart. He knew he would be in danger, and Eleanor might also be in danger. He would have to tighten security around her. He quickly drove to his mansion and saw his wife happily chatting with the maid.“Jasmine, you know what it is. The man almost scared me to death."“So what did you do after you found out he was your neighbor?" Jasmine asked.“Well, what else could I have done? He helped walk me to my room." Eleanor responded, narrating what happened between her and Nathan.“Ahem, ahem,” Jerome cleared his throat, having stood there listening to them while the women were busy chatting.“Sir," Jasmine said respectfully.“You are here," Eleanor said with a bright smile.“Mm, how have you been doing?" Jerome kissed her forehead. Jasmine was used to this.“Thanks to Jasmine, my day has been interesting.... At the Caddel mansion…Old Master Caddel sat on the bed glancing through some graphic paper. Old Lady Caddel sat beside him applying fac
