The Rightful Successor Chapter 88
Alex arrived ten minutes earlier than the agreed time, it was a date however familiar he was with her, he needed to do the right thing.At exactly ten minutes later, Brielle walked in through the door, her eyes scanning the environment for a while before settling on him. He was shocked that no smile crossed her lips. It had to be something really serious."So, let's see what we have here." He muttered as the waiter approached them immediately after Brielle had sat down. "We'll go with some lamb chops, right babe?" He asked her and she nodded. The waiter took down the order and walked away leaving the couple in momentary silence. Now the problem was that Alex didn't leave his house to come here and stare at Brielles face "Tell me what's wrong." "A lot of things." She answered morosely.Alex's mind wandered to various scenarios that could warrant such expression. "like?" "The fact that you've been unavailable for the past weeks, you've shown no concern whatsoever in the scandal tha
The Rightful Successor Chapter 89
Very few people were eligible to have the kind of luxury that Brielle did but was acting the way she was. She reached out to the decorator who was willing to take her under her wings for the meantime until she finally decided to stand on her own. After leaving the previous day, she hadn't spoken to Alex and that was not allowed to go well because there was something else that was not going on well. He didn't think that she should go but didn't say it. As she was thinking, she heard her phone ring. Taking a quick glance at it, it was her mother and she hissed. What the hell was her mother calling for? They were unable to reprimand their choice son who was still on her case. "Hello, Mom." She greeted politely because she was raised better than that. "I've missed you darling. I reached out to your husband, he says that he doesn't know where you are." Brielle rolled her eyes. It was typical of him to say that. But why wouldn't he? When all that was happening was to make sure that she

Brock was shocked by the manner in which his Grandma had sent him away like a stray dog. It was very annoying and he was just thinking about the way that he could get her to be on his side. His sister listened to Brielle. She needed just a tiny nudge from grandma to make her reconsider so he needed to make that come to pass. There was nothing else that was going to make him change his mind about certain things that he had planned. "Tell me what else you need from me, grandma. You're not understanding what is going on between us. I'm sure that she must have told you a lot about me" Grandma's eyes narrowed at her first grandson. If Brock was half the woman Brielle was, she would have been very happy but right now she was very regretful that this was even happening in her lifetime. She would have preferred if they weren't even on talking terms at this point. " Now, tell me, what don't I understand?" She replied.Brock took a step forward making her narrow her eyes at him. " I'm sorry,

Alex met up with his investors at the Golden Tulip Hotel and was setting up his instrument to make it conducive for them. He had gone over his presentation and was sure that he was going to kill it. If he was doing great for someone's company, how much more he who knew what was at stake and the things that were required to make sure that he got the deal.He needed this major break so that he could launch into the market. He had the capital that Martins helped him sourcing for but he was trying his hardest to make sure that it didn't extend beyond what it should. "I don't know what else is missing." He told Martins through the phone.Martins was still hiding his identity because one of the investors could easily identify his face and he didn't want that one bit. He would have preferred if everyone was just on their own and didn't have to do anything other than their main purpose which was seal the deal and move on."Yeah, you don't need to worry about anything. I trust that you would k

Grandma Brock would have been pissed if she didn't receive a call from her son telling her to forgive her grandson and attend the party because her absence spoke a lot more volumes than she would have liked it to do. There was a reason certain things were done. It was firstly, because there was no control in that family.Her son had refused to use his Veto power in that house and thus was made to look like a weakling that he wasn't. It was a weakness in his life that he refused to curb and now it had become a virus that had eaten deep into his life. She stared at her phone. "What is the problem this time? We have agreed that I'd be there only on one condition. Firstly, that you make sure that there's no problem between the couple and make Brock apologize. What happened to cutting Brock off?" She asked him. Richard sighed. He had actually called him for a different reason and was surprised to see that she was acting this way. "Will you be a bit calm, ma and listen to what I have to s

Very few people were moved by what they saw and actually, there were a lot of people who didn't deem it fit to make sure that there was a change in the movement of certain things. Change like they said was constant, yet it was hated by some and appreciated by others. If there was any other thing that made Alex pissed off, it was the fact that his in-laws refused to get the memo that he wasn't in their category anymore. He would rather grind his teeth on a mill than be a puppet in their games. Because who could explain why Grandma called him the next morning to ask how he was doing, which had never happened in a very long time. That was if he wanted to make sure that he was being very considerate. "I'm good. Is there a problem?" He replied, if he had known that she would call him, he would have blocked her number. He had something important to block off so that there wouldn't be any problem. "Is there anything that you want me to do for you?" He asked her impatiently, he didn't hav

"I would have been elated to speak to you but I don't really have the time for that." "Is there a reason that I should be here and why can't I just stay with my brother and probably learn the ropes?" Liam replied carefully while opening the box of pizza and starting to consume it."Go ahead then. I don't think that there's any problem, at least at the moment. The instant I get wind of the fact that you might be stressing me, I won't hesitate to throw you out." "Good to know that. So, tell me. How long did you think that you could hide the fact that you poached my staff? Martins of all people?" Alex didn't want to go down this road with him but decided that he was going to answer him quickly. " Do you know what this means?" He replied. Liam shrugged softly, he was just going to wait till there was nothing else for them to do before finally striking. "No, you need to get off your high horse some times and see what I actually mean. I know that you might be blooming at the beginning b

Since Liam was busy defending himself from many accusations that threatened to claim his business, Alex had the time to meet with different clients. They were the ones who sought him for their accord so he made sure that he billed them accordingly. He was checking the time at intervals because Brielle was coming tonight and he wanted to make something special for her. In all sincerity, it had been long that he treated her the way he ougt to. Apart from the fact that he was swamped with work, he was just nonchalant with it."So, the Russian client says that we would need to have a physical meeting with her. It's not been easy convincing him seeing that we're a startup company. Where does she alpow us to get the funds the fly out at whim. I am tired with the way certain people are making things."Alex was absentmindedly thinking about his wife and the food he was going to prepare. He was planning to surprise her but she was already acting weird. He figured that it was something that h

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.

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."

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. It was minutes and minutes wer
