2024-05-29 00:01:15Nothing 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 h

Three 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

It had been a week since the day that the final hearing had been adjourned. The judge had thanked Alex, Amelia, and Nikki for their help to the investigation. It was not something a judge would usually do but the whole situation that had brought them to the court was out of the ordinary. Alex and Brielle had been released from jail and the judge had ordered the immediate arrest of the real culprits after promising compensation to Alex and Brielle. Everyone sat in the courtroom, anticipating the beginning of the final hearing. There were reporters and people from the mass media all around the room and every single person who was involved in the case was present as well. Liam, his mother, their Lawyer who had helped their forgery, Brock, Sean and Martin. Alex, Amelia, Nikki and Brielle were also there to witness the final judgment so as to receive a form of closure for all of their efforts and the ways they had been deceived.Liam and his mother came into the courtroom first to hear th

After Alex presented all the evidence explaining his wicked brother's schemes, Liam saw that there was no way to hide anymore so he grinned again. "Yes, I meant what I said. I can't be the only one with hands pointing at me. I am just a little in number of people who are involved in this crime so as much as I would like to talk about certain things I also wanted to tell you that there might be some things that you want to change but don't have the power to. It's all in your head if you think that I won't carry out proper investigations." He said. The whole courtroom was astonished at his nonchalance. "Do you think that I would be afraid anymore? You don't even know half of what I've done. If you knew it, I'm sure that a lot of you would run mad but that won't help you one bit, instead it would dampen how fast this process should be and make you look like a fool." He spat. Temple signaled to him to stop talking so that he didn't reveal all the secrets but he refused. "The funny thi

The judge stared at him, wondering why three people were walking in."Barrister Nikki, what is going on here?" He asked when he saw close to five people walking into the room at the same time."I brought them as witnesses to help with the process, sir." She confessed and the judge nodded while motioning that she could go on. "I, Barrister Nikki, would like the court to allow us to begin the process again so that we can have a clear picture about what will happen soon." She replied.The judge was a bit perplexed but from the way the lady was speaking, she figured out that she probably knew what she was doing and was only biding her time.Liam glanced at his lawyer in fear hoping that they didn't make the mistake of letting anything slip out of his mind. Temple began to sweat because he knew that problems were about to arise and all he could do right now was to make sure that he was able to find a solution. "Let the proceedings begin." He replied."I have evidence that shows that my

In The CourtRoom. "According to the pieces of evidence before me I can boldly claim that the plaintiff is right in his suit." The judge spoke while adjusting the rim of his glasses so that it settled perfectly on his nose. Nikki rolled her eyes at the declaration. It was evident that he had been bribed hence the reason for him not properly dissecting the evidence before him and choosing to believe this man over Alex. "Objection my Lord." Nikki piped up with a smile while staring her boss in the eyes. Barr. Temple who watched her grapple with many sheets of papers as she tried to bring up more evidence. "Objection sustained." The judge granted her request Nikki adjusted her collar and smiled at the judge again. "I'm sure that everyone knows that these men are nothing but treacherous businessmen. At least that's what the tabloids say and not only that, we have a little evidence to back it up. May I show the court?"The judge nodded and she flicked on the remote which brought out im

Nikki tapped her feet in the car impatiently as they waited for Brielle to come out of Sean's apartment. They had gotten someone to set a camera inside the house to watch what was going on so that they knew the next step to take Amelia also tapped her fingers against the window as she counted one to ten in her head. The plan was simple, Brielle was to go in, seduce Sean and get him to confess to many crimes that he committed so that they could present in the court in three days. "What could be keeping her too long?" Nikki murmured angrily. They still had a lot of places to reach before midnight. Shs wanted to make everything done and over with so that she could take a nap but this was not going the way she wanted."She's not even in the line of vision. We told her to remain in the living room so that we could capture the real footage and present unmistakable evidence." Amelia muttered, their initial ire forgotten.Nikki rubbed a hand across her face as she kept on waiting for the fo

Nikki's eyes wandered toward the duo who were staring at her eagerly like she was bringing salvation to them."I feel weird." She chuckled nervously but their stares continued."I know, right? We have been waiting for you all day, why don't you get some juice in the fridge? I made it specially for you." Brielle suggested so that she didn't feel weirded out.Amelia on the other hand tapped her foot impatiently as she tried to understand what might be going on."Do you realize that we have a lot to do and I would really appreciate it if we get right into it." She muttered impatiently."Right. I guess we can dive right into the topic. So why are you here, Amelia?" Nikki challenged her. Amelia scoffed at the audacity that this lady possessed to challenge her about her presence in her cousin's house. "You're just a friend but that's beside the point. Now, why I called is to inform you that there will soon be a party, the culprits would be present so we need to be fast about it." She said

"Why don't you stop by my house later tonight?" Brielle inquired from Nikki the next day. She has something very improved to tell her that required that they brainstorm.Nikki glanced at her watch and realized that there was a problem. It was almost three p.m. and she still had a meeting to cover before she could call it a day. However, since Brielle needed her, it was high time that she agreed on what to do."Okay, I'll be there. I hope you have food though because I'm famished," She replied. "Yeah, you don't need to worry, I just need to put some things together, that's a little repayment for your time and energy," Brielle responded half-heartedly. She wasn't really in the mood to cook but had no choice anyway since that was what her beloved friend wanted. "You don't need to stress yourself to prove a point, I could order but I feel like having a home-made meal. You know what? Why don't I make a quick stop at home so I don't stress you out? I could also bring some for you. Whatcha

“I’m here to see Alex.” Amelia told one of the prison wardens who stared at her as though she was speaking Greek. She returned a matching glare not wanting to be intimidated at all. They had nothing on her."Who are you and why do you think that you have the right to see him before visiting hours?" He asked her."I don't know why I don't have the privilege to see my in-law, last time I checked, this is the visiting time or is there something you don't want me to know about?" Amelia replied angrily. She had no respect for people who were after their bellies. The warden was tapped by his colleague who nodded to allow her in. She was a family member who was not restricted from seeing him. The first warden didn't just want to allow her in like that. There needed to be peace and orderliness. “Who are you?”“Amelia.”“Wait in the visitors room, I’ll call him for you.”Amelia was seated as she looked around and waited patiently for Alex to be brought to her.
