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
"You were seen as one of the people who worked on my client's account before you left. There are some discrepancies that I'd like for you to rectify." Liam said in an accusatory tone.The only response from Alex was laughter coming from his belly. It was deep throated as he caught the manipulation that his brother was about to spin on him. Unfortunately it wasn't going to work on him. Comporting himself to make sure that there was no mistake on the way, he decided that it wouldn't go down well with him if he didn't hear what else his brother had up his sleeves. He quickly set his phone to record all the conversation so that he wouldn't have a problem with defense. "You are busy laughing when your reputation is also on the line? That's quite disheartening to say the least. Now do you know all that it has taken for me to clear your name from the list yet it keeps backfiring. ignore the noise of the ship capsizing or not. The company is under fire for your mistake."Liam lied.Alex smi
"Why are you here?" Alex demanded from the visitor that stood across his door. He wouldn't have expected that this man would seek him out after all that had been said concerning him. "I am your Uncle. Do well to show some respect." He chided him and he went still for a few seconds trying to process what was happening. "Is there a problem?" Alex replied quietly and his uncle smiled at the carbon copy of his brother. "You need to tame your anger. That was why your father was more successful. He enjoyed taming his anger. No one could ever say a negative word about him. It's a good habit, it gives you power too." "Babe, why don't you invite him in?" Brielle called from inside the house. To her surprise, Alex cocked his head and beckoned his so-called uncle into the house. Alan walked in with a smile and presented a gift to Brielle. "Hello, ma'am. I brought some wine. I don't think you'd mind but, I'd be happy with any choice that you make." He replied. Brielle liked the man's vibe
This was the second time that this was repeating itself and he was pissed by the way certain people thought that they could just spring up from nowhere and order him around. Well, newsflash because they didn't know the kind of person that he was.He was going to make sure that they regretted their actions. All of them."Kindly, leave my house." He replied.Alan stared at the rude boy. He wasn't even going to hear the full terms and conditions. "I don't want to hear anything from you. Since we cannot have a business deal together without me leaving my wife, I think it's best that you leave now that it's still day. You can lodge in a hotel for the night if you so please." He replied and watched them stare at him like he was crazy. Well, they had a long way to go if they thought that he'd succumb to their pressure.Alan walked out of the house respectfully, not willing to allow his nephew to insult him all because he was trying to make sure that certain things worked out. It was very sa
Alex faced the road driving the car with a serious countenance plastered on his face on the steering wheel with a cold aura.He seemed bothered but at the same time, he seemed angry even if he was trying not to make it obvious.He drove ahead at full speed without taking a single break. Soon he was finally in front of his brother's company and he parked the car recklessly on the road.He came down from the car and slammed the door of the car shut behind him. He walked directly into the office and all eyes fell on him immediately. Everyone was staring at him as he walked directly through the hall. All the staff started greeting him with a smile but he ignored them all.“Good day, sir,”“Good day,”“Welcome sir.”He ignored all of their greetings and just faced ahead without taking a second glance at any one of them. They all seemed fearful to see him but he didn’t care less about them. He was here for something serious and he didn’t have time. He had something more important that he
