When Alex heard that Dominic had gotten back on his feet, he was furious and really bitter. He called John to really confirm whether it was true or not."I heard Dominic is back on his feet, how true is that?" He asked."Yes, sir. I heard the same thing, and I confirmed it to be true from one of our spies." John confirmed.He smirked. "So it was true about what I heard," He said, hiding how angered he was. He wasn't expecting Dominic to be back this soon. At least not yet."I want you to find out everything about what he did and how it happened. I want to know everything, do not leave out any information." He instructed.John nodded in affirmation and went out to carry out his order. "You shouldn't have stood this soon, Dominic." He cursed. “You shouldn't.”Alex was disturbed that the information he was getting from his spies weren't legit ones. Different feedback kept coming and he felt the truth behind Dominic's sudden growth wasn't yet out. He was furious.However, John was trying
The next day, he left his office at Alex's office. When he got there, he was not allowed to enter but when Alex heard it was him, he told John to allow him in."You have a god-damn fucking annoying workers." Dominic said as soon as he walked in."Why are you here?" Alex asked instead, neglecting his complaints. "I don't remember having any unfinished business with you.""Of course, we don't. I'm only here to give you the warning of your life. If you really want to keep seeing the light of the day, then you need to stay the hell out of my way.""Are you threatening me? In my own office?""I don't give a damn." He gritted his teeth."Oh, I see. You haven't learned after all."Dominic grew furious. "You might look innocent, but know this, I know your plans. I know it's you behind my setbacks all those while.""Oh, so after all, what I heard was true. You really did face a lot of setbacks, I see. Well, that's... hurtful, I'd say." Alex said, finding it quite amusing.“You think it's funny
"Send the men who had gone to sign the contract for the goods demanded, it's been more than two days now. We can't keep it shut." John thought for a while. "Is that the last card Young master meant?"Alex smiled. "Of course. We must regain the money we lost. Dominic must pay the bills or I won't rest until I get it back in a thousand fold.""Alright, sir. I will send them the message as soon as possible. Is there anything else I should do for you?" John asked."Just make sure this is done." Alex breathed. He needed to get back what he wasted and he wouldn't sit and do nothing.Then John went ahead and told the men who went for the sealed contract to ask for the compensation and the men went as usual but on getting there, it was totally different because Dominic was not ready to come to terms with them at all.The men and Dominic couldn't stop arguing in the office and Dominic insisted on it, he said it's never going to happen and that's it and he doesn't care whether the goods were s
Dominic was woken up by the sound of his ringtone. He checked the caller, it was Mr Hyde and he wondered why he was calling him at such an hour of the day. Meanwhile, it was minutes past six, and it felt early to Dominic for anything calls.He cut the call, but Mr Hyde kept on calling so he decided to answer. "What is it, Hyde?" He queried. "It's still early for calls.""I'm sorry for disturbing you but you have to..." The sound of a knock sounded on the door. Not listening to what Mr Hyde was saying, he asked. "Who is that?""It's me, Jeremiah." Jeremiah answered."Come in." As soon as Jeremiah walked in, he gave him a hand signal to remain quiet while he continued his call. "As you were saying." He told Mr Hyde, meaning that he should continue with what he was saying."You have to check your media, some group of people posted you all over the net." He informed."Who?" Dominic's eyes flew open. "Who are these bastards?""They have preferred to remain anonymous." He said. "I think yo
After Dominic's confrontation, he started planning on how to end the problem on ground, because he's not ready to give in to the man's offer but he has nothing in mind.He didn't want things to get out of hand again and even with Alex backing those men, things could really go wrong.So he tried calling those men for meetings so they could settle things amicably. The men, however, told John about this and asked if they should reschedule the meeting but he told them he will get back to them as soon as he was done talking with Alex.John told Alex about the new development of the plan that Dominic wants to see those men and asked if they could go, but Alex told them to decline in order to make him feel embarrassed.He wanted him to feel the pain bit by bit, so he told them to decline the offer which they did immediately. Dominic, on the other hand, grew angry and was disturbed at the same time. He was wondering if they were testing his temper, but even at that, he needed to be calm.He d
After John had addressed the issue at the press conference, there were questions coming as to why he was bent on helping the men. He told them that he was only following the business strategies, and it would be unfair to see the truth and not act towards it. That wasn't the end of it all. Alex dragged the matter to the court when Dominic seemed to be acting hesitantly to the issue. The court acted immediately towards the case, calling upon John and Dominic for a court hearing. People had come to witness the judgment, with each party partner explaining what transpired between them.The court gave its judgment with Alex winning the case. Dominic was asked to pay double of the amount he was supposed to pay, because he tampered and went against the contract.Dominic was really sad and embarrassed, he was filled with anger and hatred for Alex and he promised to make him pay so dearly that he will surely regret it.The public, especially Dominic's customers, were annoyed at the outcome, k
It's been a week since the incident at the court had happened. The city seemed to be more calm than it used to be. Alex was less work loaded and for the past few days he'd had enough time with his kids.He was tired and wanted to head somewhere—anywhere. He called in John to let him know that he was leaving. "Leave the reports on my desk, I'll continue by tomorrow. Right now, I need to take a drive.""Where is the Young master going, if you don't mind me asking." "I have no idea where I am going." Alex replied with an amusing smile, finding it quite funny. John felt maybe he didn't want to disclose his location, so he let him be."How about I send a guard to accompany you. You know, the road isn't safe anymore, especially when Dominic still suspects you're the main reason for his downfall."Alex laughed. "He won't dare to harm me, because everyone will point fingers at him. He'll have to let the case be a forgotten issue so if anything should ever happen to me, no one will assume he
Alex not being the hospital type of person, urged John that they should get going. John, however, paid the bills and they headed for the parked car at the parking lot. Alex then checked on his wrist watch, it was close to dismissal time. “Let’s head for the kid's school, it's almost time when they close.” John made the next turn, leading to the school compound. By the time they reached, the school bell had been rung. “You wait in the car.” Alex said, but John convinced him to stay back While he got the kids.“Don't worry, it's no big deal.” Alex insisted, but John insisted he should stay back.“You wouldn't want everyone thinking you got into a fight or something, would you? I'll get the kids.” Without explaining further, John stepped out of the car, while Alex stayed back in the car.He rested his head against the chair, shutting his eyes to sleep, but was distracted by the sound of a car which parked just beside his. He turned to look at who it was, recognizing the car to belong t
