“Mr. Albertson please, please, I don't want my life to be ruined, I can't go to prison, everything I have worked for shouldn't just go in vain like that, please sir, help me out.” Dave pleaded, even more, looking so restless. He tried to touch Mr Albertson while begging him and he took his hand off. “And I trusted you.” Mr Albertson was so angry, from the way he begged he confirmed that it was really true. If it should be a frame he should have denied it. Mr Albertson walked away, ignoring everything he was saying. Dave acted like his life had ended. The police arrived shortly. “That's the man, take him away,” Lucas ordered the police and they walked to Dave. “You are under arrest, for the suspect of embezzling the company’s money.” The officer said to him and dragged him up from the ground. “After everything I have done for this company, is this how I will get paid back? Alex, you won't get away with this.” He shouted and they dragged him out there. They took him away and left
“That cunning old woman cost me that much with a stupid lie she told. And she doesn’t even feel remorseful one single bit. I wanted to let off the hook before till I realized that she actually lied to get the money from me and still wasn’t owning up to her mistakes.” Alex explained to Lucas to pay attention carefully with a surprised look plastered on his face.“And she made the other members of the family Go against you too,” Lucas uttered.“She is nothing but a cunning witch alongside her daughter. They’ll pay for all they made me lose one after the order. I won’t let them off this book that easily, I’m going to make sure they pay for it with everything they have.” Alex gritted his teeth with a very serious countenance on his face.Lucas immediately got the hint that Alex wasn’t even bluffing about this. He knew how much he worked to build the company and she was the cause of its destruction.Alex had buried himself with the guilt that he faulted for playing with the destruction of h
“Argh,” Alex yelled in frustration as he stared blankly at the Veranda. A lot of thoughts ran through his mind which did nothing to anger him.“What gave them the audacity to think they had any right to insult me anyway.” He yelled out.There was no one in the room except him, if anyone walked in they would think he was going crazy:He paced around the room in anger as his fists were mounted into a fist. He had a very deadly cold stare plastered on his face and he was ready to let anyone get it.He finally calmed down and sank into the chair in his study when the door went ajar and Lucas walked in. His face lightened up when he saw Lucas. He has been in a bad mood the whole day.With what he asked Lucas to do, he was supposed to bring him good news. At least that was going to be enough to lighten up his whole mood. As Lucas walked Towards him, he stared at him with so much anticipation plastered on his face.Lucas looked around and the whole place was a mess. Papers and documents ar
The conversation was cut short because Lucas’s phone started ringing. Ignored it like nothing happened and he continued the conversation with Alex who couldn’t concentrate because of the phone.Alex was very upset initially about everything that was going on and it’s not going in his favor. His countenance was very tense but he’s trying not to transfer the aggression on Lucas because he has no fault to play.He knew that Dominic was trying constantly to annoy him. He was trying so hard not to pay too much attention to him but it didn’t seem like that was what Dominic wanted.He was so petty to think he could get through to him through his ex-wife. He didn’t even care one bit about what happened to her so she could go to hell to all he cared.Dominic couldn’t wait to actualize all of his plans towards Dominic and make him pay. He was willing to spend all he had and give all he got just to make sure he brought him down.Right now Dominic might feel triumph and think he has an upper hand
“I don’t think we should be this lenient about this, what if he tries to do something stupid again?” Lucas protested.Although Lucas looked perplexed and angered, Alex looked so calm like he didn’t care about what was going on. Lucas knew that the normal Alex would have ranted and wanted to do a payback but he didn’t.He was simply avoiding any contact with Dominic at all points. Lucas wondered what was going on but he knew he was going to find out sooner or later. “While the production is going on, make sure you find the cause of the fire, make sure it is investigated. I want to make sure it wasn’t a natural accidental fire or if it was intentional. Ask the workers, they’ll know how it happened. Make sure you leave no stones unturned, I need answers as soon as possible.” Alex said finally sinking back to his chair with a smile plastered at the corner of his lips.Lucas texted the workers that he was joining them soon and that they should get ready for a new production. There was a k
Alex pondered hard on what was going on. He had all minds fixed on the fact that one way or the other Dominic was involved with the fire.It just felt right, aside from that there was no other reasonable explanation as to why exactly he was acting so innocently.Alex knew that he couldn’t be that sure that Dominic wasn’t planning on messing with him on purpose but it just didn’t feel like he was behind the fire.He knew he was planning something just to bring him down but that wasn’t it. He knew whatever it was that Dominic was planning was going to be big.A fire at his storehouse could only do a little damage and he knew Dominic was aspiring for more. That wouldn’t do much and it could only distract him for a little while.He kept on pondering because it all seemed confusing. He didn’t know what to believe but he had his mind fixed on the fact that it wasn’t Dominic behind it. Of course, it was going to be in his favor because it was bringing him down but it wasn’t it.If it wasn’t D
Two days later,“Don’t you dare tell me to calm down? If you have just one job and you still can’t do it properly then what are you useful for in my company? “ Dominic sprang at Jeremiah.“ I didn’t do anything, I did exactly what you asked me to do and we paid all the people we could pay at once. I don't know how he managed to get over all of this.”“ Of course, you’re going to have excuses for your failure. You had just one job which was to make sure that everything goes down after the fire. You still couldn’t do that right. I know that a lot of things got burnt in his store and he was meant to feel it but he didn’t feel anything. That means you guys failed to do your job well. ““ This is more complicated than we think. He was just one or two moves ahead of us. I don't know how he managed to get it all restocked that fast, I have no idea. The plan was to make sure that he loses a lot of money but I don’t know how…”“Oh shut up your incompetent mouth. You’re going to have one excuse
“Young Master, what are we going to do next?” Lucas asked, looking at Alex.“They'll soon all be destroyed in my hands. All that we need is a little more evidence.” Alex said.“I hope you've gotten sufficient evidence?” He asked, raising his head to look at Lucas.“Yes, young master, I have, but I don't think it's sufficient.” Lucas shook his head.“And why'd you say that?” Alex frowned.“Though all the evidence I found is concise. I'm not sure if it'll be sufficient.” Lucas explained.“Alright then, continue to gather more evidence.” Alex nodded in approval.“Yes I will, young master.” Lucas nodded in compliance.“Sir, do you think Dominic would do anything?” Lucas asked.“Nope, he has no power to do anything. The current around him is not powerful. He's already spent most of his resources trying to launch an attack, which failed miserably.” Alex smiled.Though Dominic's attack over the past week shook him, it had still failed regardless, so he was not too concerned about anything.“
