James noticed he was sad and asked," Name sake, what is the matter?""I want to go to school at home; I don't want to go back to Horvard School; mom needs someone to stay by her side," Small James said. Everyone was in awe when he told them what was on his mind. Maureen and James's eyes met, and they burst into laughter. Even though James was not happy with what he said, he laughed to play along with him. Nora felt like beating him where he was, but she was careful not to be aggressive and disrespectful; she allowed the two elderly people at home to scold him. "You have a point; what other things would you be doing at home apart from staying by your mom's side?" James asked, pulling his legs.He instantly released his squeezed face and let out a sly grin. He was happy that James was an understanding person. "I will get a PS tomorrow when we go shopping. I will always play that to cool off my brain whenever I'm stressed and have the opportunity to wear my new clothes around."James
The annual Winslow Group event was the talk of the town. A lot of people had been spreading rumours about the heirloom of the Winslow group, that he would likely appear on this year's anniversary, and all prominent families were on the verge of meeting the heir and securing a business deal with him. Some planned to take their beautiful daughters, who were single, and they thought they would secure a contract with Winslow if their daughter could seduce the heir into a relationship, as rumours carried the idea that the heir was young and single. At Martinez's mansion, Patriarch Alberto had called for a meeting, and all members of the family had gathered to know what the news was this time around. Alice tagged her husband along; he had become Martinez since he had married Alice. Alberto felt disgusted when he saw Darren and told him to excuse them, saying that they wanted to discuss family secrets and that in-laws were not allowed to learn their secrets. "Darren, you will have to ex
"I think Winslow's heir won't be seeing her for the first time; he dislikes her." Sean retorted Have you met Winslow before now? No sir," What made you think he disliked her?Because of the incident? What if Edward, who had known who the heir Alberto was dying to meet, could not help but groan silently. He wished he could tell Alice that her ex-husband was the heir, but no one would believe him now that he had been stripped of his position as manager in the company to become a mere worker. And the fear of James—he didn't know what he would do if he dared him. Martinez would never keep quiet if they found out who the heir was; they would like to make noise about it, which infuriated James. He decided to give them as little advice as he could. "My opinion is that we should not attend the annual ceremony; let's avoid Winslow.""Weak! I'm not disappointed; I have known that you will hide. Keep hiding, and I will have my way," Alberto grumbled."I called you if I could get an intelli
On the next day, everyone had prepared to go out. Isabella was Brian's secretary; she was 5 metres tall, a little bit chubby, had a round face, and had blond hair. She had come to James's house. Her boss, Brian, had instructed her to go to James's house because her attention was needed. She bowed her head as he greeted James. "Good morning, young master.""Good morning," James responded. "Nora, Jameson, time to go out,""Allow them to choose whatever they want, and get them a new phone." "Okay, sir," she bowed. He picked up his car key and let it go before them.James requested that Brian meet him; they were meeting at the nearest beach.Brian had been there before James; he was always in a cooperative dress with a tie around his neck. James wore his common clothes as usual; the only difference was that he added a black sunshade with a light grey top and cream-coloured trousers. He looked handsome in the clothes, despite being too cheap for his status. Brian stood up when he saw
"Are you out of your mind? Do you realise that I have shares in that company?""Your unlimited zeros share, I will liquidate and forward your money to you now," James threatened. Elder Samroto felt a surge of anger in him; he wished they could meet eyes to eyes; he used his mouth to stay in the company for long; being that he was in charge of Winslow's grand ancestral chair; he was a maid to Winslow's grandparents; he served the first Winslow; he was a loyal maid; that was how he got the gift of the share; and he was in charge of taking care of the share when Winslow was alive; he took the chair away to be relevant. "Who are you to liquidate my share?" he asked rudely on the phone. 'I am James Winslow."He removed the phone from his ear as he heard James Winslow. Fear gripped him instantly when he realised that the voice he was speaking to was different from Brian's voice. The voices of the late masters played in his head, and this made him feel numb immediately; his tongue instan
"Young man, Nora is not a chick that you can just grab and take home; there should be a protocol and let everyone know your intention with her. I'm so sorry I called for your arrest earlier. I hope Nora is doing fine." The head doctor was aware that Nora and her brother had been admitted but didn't know who he was until James showed up in the hospital. He was glad that the duo had a younger parent. "Yes, she is; she is on her way to Alfred Teaching Hospital to learn nursing," James replied to the head doctor. The other nurses didn't allow the head doctor to reply before they started bashing James with ill words."Tell another lie; just tell us you have impregnated her because you look like nothing but a pervert," the head nurse screeched. "That girl can never be admitted to a local medical school, not to mention Alfred School; just admit what the head nurse said.""Apologise for saying that, Pervert!" James demanded an apology. "This shameless idiotic fool is asking me to apologi
James left the hospital and got into his car to find his way back home. He had not driven a metre when he saw the same boy Nora had warned not to be seen on the roadside begging. He reduced his speed to confirm if he was the same boy, but the boy was so smart that he had identified the car and took his heel immediately. He sighted James inside the car. James pursued him with his car, drove past him, and quickly got down. The boy spun and began to run back. James screamed and begged the boy to stop running so that he would not take him to the police. "Wait, stop running away. I promised I wouldn't take you to the police; I just want help, please."The boy felt the sincerity in his statement and spun again. "I stopped because you said you wouldn't call the police; if you do, I won't forgive you. Promise me once again.""I promise," James said softly. He slowly walked to the boy in order not to scare him away. He grabbed his hand as he got to him and carried him to his car. The boy
The boy directed him as he drove; he almost drove two kilometres before the boy stopped him. James could not stop asking the boy if they had gotten there, but the boy would tell him to continue. "Stop here; your car can't get into the street; we have to walk the remaining distance.""I hope you haven't taken me to the wrong place because this place is far away.""I came to a far place so that I wouldn't be recognised."James looked at the boy beside him with cold eyes and thought, "How could a small boy have this kind of intelligence?""You know what? Let us get down."He unfastened his seat belt and got down. The boy did the same and wanted to get down, but James had locked him inside. He went to his side and opened the door for him to get out. They both headed into the dirty street they saw in front of them. The street was close, and it had no lane that a car could pass. James tightened his grip on the boy's thin hand as they walked. The boy halted at the front of a tent, and J
