Nothing else was as disturbing as seeing that one's counterpart was doing well when one wasn't and that was the state of dilemma Liam was plunged into when all of a sudden Roycorp pulled out of their deal with him and began to give him flimsy excuses in return.
He knew where the real problem lay and was pissed because that meant that he had wasted a greater part of his life and all that mattered right now was the fact that his brother was slowly winning.This wasn't what he expected. As usual, a knock on the door usually sent him mad because why the hell were they disturbing his peace? His brother would surely think that he was better than him now and he would always be stuck with the burden of proving himself."Sir...you have a visitor." His secretary called from outside and he finally looked around to see what was happening. There was surely a problem somewhere and he didn't understand what to do about it. Why was there someone somewhere trying to see hThree Months Later,Brock recoiled when the sun's rays struck him hard. He wasn't expecting that he would be hit by their malevolent touch. It didn't help that he had been indoors for the greater part of the month.Days stretched in months that sometimes he lost hope that he would ever come out of this correctional facility which was akin to a hellhole.His mother stood at the end of the carpark, ashamed that she had to come to pick up her son like a juvenile caught in delinquency. She would never understand what went through that boy's mind that made him act unseemly. Other people would be afraid that they would be caught for wrongdoing but nope not her son.Over the last months that Brock had been in that facility, she enjoyed total peace, not having to look over her shoulder for any reason while she was trying to tell the whole world that her child was not detained, instead, he traveled. A lot of news had circulated, thanks to her niece, Amelia who made it her life's mission to sp
"You can't act like you never knew all this while. Wasn't that why you've been acting out and behaving like you're better than everyone else?" Brock challenged his sister. Brielle sighed and sat on a stool, she was beginning to feel pains in her legs and didn't know what she could do to make them disappear. " I see you and know that you're hurt but it really isn't anyone's fault. How could you not have known that you weren't theirs? You made life miserable for everyone that's why you were being scolded. I can't even believe that I'm speaking to you like a child. It's always very tedious and I just don't want to think about it."He chuckled when he heard her speak. She must think that he was dumb right? That was the new method she and her parents used right? " What are you really here for, madam? Are you here to mock me? I'm supposed to be taking a nap but here I am waiting to see what I can do for you. Tell me what do you want?" Brielle sighed. " I want
Moving on to a new city wasn't convenient for Brielle but she was seriously beginning to consider it because it seemed like every Tom, Dick and Harry knew the way to her house. They might even see it as their right to act that way. She was pissed but didn't know how to show it. Alex had taught her how to be in control of her emotions and she was really learning how not to allow certain things get to her anymore. In cases like this, she was beginning to feel like there was something that she didn't know. First off, was the issue of having unwanted visitors who wanted to dictate how her life went. "Tell me your purpose of visiting so that I can know how to chastise you." "Well, you see there have been lots of cases which would not lead me to this place on a normal day but I think I have something to say concerning this. It isn't always easy to find someone whose heart still beats for you after all these while ." Sean spoke.He had decided to play the game on his terms since Brock was
After donating what was left off his blood, he didn't wait for any after care before moving on to make sure that there was nothing left that was holding him down. It would not be very good if there's something making him remain in that hospital. Then he remembered that he had people that he had to meet, it was very urgent and he had to go immediately. He didn't want to say anything even as Brielle was trying to tell him thank you. The entire family was pissing him off with their madness but instead of him reacting to Brielle negatively, he would rather make sure that she was good. There was no reason for her to thank him when he was just doing everything that he could do to make her happy. She was the only one that made him remain sane when dealing with them. He pulled out his car key and went to his car. He pulled out the card that he was given from that place and decided that he was going to call that man later on only to find out that there was something missing. He didn't know
Liam was busy sipping from his cup of wine when he received a call from Prince. " Hey, how's the meeting goin, why is my brother not there?" He replied.Prince was taken aback by the question he was asked. " I don't know your brother." Liam snorted and smiled happily, he didn't know why certain people were so quick to forget lots of things. " Don't you know my brother anymore?" "I sincerely don't." "Alex, the one you were conversing with today. I saw both of you after the first meeting and you even gave him a card to attend the second meeting. I don't know what you're thinking about but I believe you know that it's against the code of conduct right? You can't give the same idea to two people right?" "Yeah? I didn't know he was your brother, but as it stands, I would rather let you go and have him on my team. I'm sure that we would change the world that way, wouldn't we?" Prince smirked. That was the gospel. If he has known since all these while he wouldn't have wasted an extra bre
Brock was angry that the men dropped him and decided to walk with Alex. It was a way to help them upscale and probably get a good quality of life, "i see that you are going to believe him that he won't turn you over to the cops, i thought you guys were wiser, what happened along the line?" "Do you want to be dead?" The leader inquired. They had the chance of being financially free and also helped their family out of the debts that pushed them into this stupid practice in the first place. "I guess, I won't die anyway." The leader shot at a tire that went less instantly. They were shocked by the loudness. " You see that, I'm just deciding to keep you alive. Now, Mr. Alex, may we discuss this if you promise that you won't turn us in?" Alex scoffed. His company was expanding. He saw potentials that they didn't see and he was ready to exploit them, then give them skills that would turn their lives around in the next few years and they would forever have him to thank after the ordea
There was a minute pause before he finally agreed to speak. "Oh, nowhere is she in her house, isn't she?" "No, she's not... She's not anywhere that I can think of. It makes me wonder where she is too. I'm outside her house, did she mention anything?" "No, she didn't, it could be one of those her antics to make us miss her though but it's quite strange that she didn't call to even check up on her son. That's very strange. Anyway, I don't know yet. I would have to check to be sure that she didn't go anywhere." "Don't panic, I'll check." "No, you won't. Allow your husband to do it, he's better at things like this. I don't want you to hurt yourself. I want you to deliver safely. You know what? Why don't you just turn back and leave. I don't want any problems." Her mother said. Unfortunately, Brielle was as stubborn as her mother so she sighed. " I'll call you later." She replied. "Oh, really?" She replied. "Yeah." "You should listen to your mother, I don't want you to risk y
Brock sat down carefully in the restaurant awaiting the arrival of Sean, he needed to get things straightened between them before things started to go out of reach. He checked his time and shook his head only to realize that Sean was actually running a few minutes late. He took a sip from his coffee, readying his head for the task to come because he knew Sean could be daunting at times. He probably knew he was making a mistake when even decided to partner with him. The man held no regard for rules or even human decency. At last he heard the door of his office creaked open and glanced up to see Sean enter. He stood up out of courtesy and smiled at him. “Welcome,” he said with a warm smile. Sean glanced at him and nodded in acknowledgement of the greeting. He took a seat right in front of Brock before speaking. “Let's get this over with quickly and not dull our mind with unnecessary pleasantries,” he replied, his expression empty and soulless. “I agree,” Brock began but before he
