“That’s all I ask for and this is all for the betterment of our company and I’m trying to make sure that we don’t make decisions that’ll affect us,” Martins said in a quite convincing tone.“But what if the reason she tells us is different from what you’re telling me?” A board member asked and that got Martins infuriated immediately.“Are you trying to go against me? Are you trying to insinuate something? Like I’m lying or what are you trying to say exactly?” Martians stood up staring directly at Micheal, a part of the board who just voiced out.The woke atmosphere was already tense and everyone knew that Martins wasn’t in a good mood. They wondered if it was about the meeting he said he had with Brielle or if it was something else.“Of course not, I do not have any plan of going against you and I’m not trying to Insinuate anything, pardon me if it seems that way. I’m just trying to say that if she comes here and says something else, are we supposed to tell her what you said?” Micheal
Sean was in his office when he heard about Brielle fathers condition and he also heard about the unheard stories too. The fact that they were unable to pay the bills and the treatment won’t cease once they can’t gather it.He knew the type of person Brielle was and how she held herself in high esteem. He pondered as he smiled to himself about the situation.He brought out his phone and made a call to his men, the one who gave him the information about what was going on in her family. It wasn’t like he was dotting on her family in particular but the news just came to him. The phone rang and the person picked up the call almost immediately.“Boss.”“How are you?”“I'm a fine boss.”“So, you remember the Brielle girl with the miserable case that they can’t afford her father's treatment?” “Yes, I do sir.”“Pay the bills, I don’t care how much it is, go to the hospital and sort it out,”“But why do you want to help her? She doesn’t deserve it.”“That’s none of your business, just do what
Brielle paced in front of the corridor as she thought of what to do if Sean decided to call her bluff. This wasn't going to change the fact that her family just went broke as if they had never been rich in their life. That taught her that anyone could go broke. There was no one beyond being broke. If there was anything that she wanted to change, it was the fact that life was filled with uncertainty. Aside from that, it also managed to teach her that there was a reason why life was unpredictable. Her mind wandered to her grandmother. She had not seen her after that stunt that the girl pulled. But that shouldn't stop her from trying to keep in touch with them, did it?She looked at her mother who was a shell of herself, her eyes were tired bearing all the weight of the world. "Mom, are you sure that you are okay?" Her mother blinked as if just returning to Earth to see what was happening. She didn't know what to feel. "Yeah, I am. A little frustrated but I'll be fine. I need to do
Alex's gaze was fixated on the iron bar in front of him. He felt like there was a change in the atmosphere. He didn't want to want to waste away in this prison because he knew the effect it had on different people. The chains rattled and a large light burst into the corridor, reflecting also in his cell. How had his life come to this? He would have sworn that he would never be in this situation but guess who was happily swinging in here? Him, "Are you sure that you're ready to see the Mayor today? He might be releasing some people but if you are unlucky, you will remain here." A warder cried out.There was no need for him to bother to check through the cell to know that he would not be one of those people because there was a deep-seated hatred for him by the prisoners and the officers.Liam was have been able to buy everyone. That got him wondering, did it mean that there was no good cop anymore? This was becoming alarming and he didn't even know what to do.All Brielle's plans had
Brielle sat lazily in a chair, staring blankly at the app on her phone. She was actually enthusiastic a while ago, but after a while of watching the motionless red dot on the phone, she was starting to get exhausted and somewhat sleepy.‘I’m starting to think that the tracker might be faulty or damaged,’ she thought to herself, sitting up. ‘What if the satellite connection has gone bad and Martins has already left?’ She bit her lips and tried refreshing the app, but nothing changed.“Hey, Nikki,” she turned to her friend. “Are you sure this thing is actually working? What if he has moved?” Brielle voiced out her fear.“If he moves the tracker will alert us, you need to calm down a bit,” Nikki said and groaned silently. She was not going to say it out, but Brielle’s lack of patience was starting to get on her nerves.‘I swear, if she complains one more time, I will leave her and find something else to do,’ Nikki decided in her thoughts.“…” Brielle opened her mouth to say something af
As they continued to discuss their plan, Brielle and Nikki listened in horror, their hearts racing with fear. “Okay this is insane,” Nikki said and opened the car’s door with anger, ready to confront the scheming devils, but Brielle quickly stopped her.“What are you trying to do?” Brielle asked, eyes wide open. “I’m going to confront them of course,” Nikki said. “What kind of devils are they?”“The kind of devils that will do terrible things to keep the truth hidden, including killing you if you try to act without thinking,” Brielle said. She was now the calm and decisive one suddenly. “Look, we have gotten what we want, let’s just go and you can build a case on it, and then devour them as you please in court. Okay?” she said, and although Nikki was hesitant at first, she eventually accepted and got back in the car.Just as they entered the car and ended the recording, Brielle’s phone rang. It was an unknown number, but Brielle had mistakenly answered the call as she tried to pick
"I'm sorry I can't help you." Mr. Temple responded leaving her a bit stunned. She didn't know what else to say when he already greeted her with such a response. "I didn't come here for..." She trailed off. "What? Help? I didn't peg you as a liar." He responded, staring at her with an unreadable expression. Nikki sighed, feeling slightly deterred. She could have sworn that he was going to help her but with the way he spoke, she was having a hard time believing that this was the man that trained her. "You said I could come to you for anything." Mr. Temple stroked the few strands of beards on his chin. "that was a few years ago. You can't expect me to be here for you after all these while. You didn't think it necessary to call to check up on me. What if the firm had folded up? Would you be able to come to me now?" He demanded, causing her to be a bit awestruck. The only thing that went through her mind right now was the fact that there would probably not be any help from him. So
Nikki still didn’t want to give up even if Martins was so too good at covering up his tracks. She knew that he wanted to cheat Brielle and she wasn’t going to let that happen. Apart from the fact that he and Brielle were friends, she knew she was also a lawyer and it’ll be very easy for her to sue him if she got any evidence at least.She knew that they’ll be no one to give her the information that she needed so she decided to take matters into her own hands. She decided that she would follow Martina for some time as she knew that eventually, he was going to slack off and leave some of his tracks Uncleaned.It was going to be stressful but she was willing to do anything for the sake of Brielle. She was pregnant too and she didn’t want her bothering herself.She knew that her father’s condition was already affecting her and she was trying her best notTo act like it and Martins was barely adding to her problems. She hated everything about Martin including his guts and how selfish he
