The Grandmaster got on his feet and stride towards his wine cellar where he came with a glass of whiskey and a puff of a cigarette, the smoke filled the air as he puffed it and walked back to the couch where he previously sat. “What exactly do you need me to do for you?”“All I want is for you to help me with his drug route and cut off all his connections”“You know Mr. Harry I am still trying to ascertain if you are worth all the fuss. When I meet a man for the first time, I can tell if he going to become an enemy or an ally, but with you, it is so unpredictable, you are so calm and yet full of wisdom”“I will take all that as a compliment, I can't tell how you chose to perceive me, but one thing about me is that I do not get involved in illegal business but also I do not bite the hand that feeds me, just like you, I have been hurt and betrayed by the ones that I regarded as family, but no matter what, I do not betray”George pierced his gaze at him for a while before he spoke again
Lisa was in her office the following week staring at the pile of files that she needed to work on when a knock came through the door, Olivia stepped in dressed in a black professional suit and trousers, she had her hair tied backward and there was all level of diligent and sincerity in her. “Good morning Lisa!” Olivia seemed excited with a bright smile on her face, but Lisa on the other hand wasn't so excited with the entire arrangement. “It is Ma'am for you or I will prefer that you address me as Ms. Lisa, I am your boss here and I expect that you accord me some sort of respect! ”“Chill Lisa! It is not like I am here to take anything away from you, I just want to work, you have it all and no matter how much I try, I can't take it away from you!”“I do not care about what you think Olivia, I despise a sister who tried to take away my husband from me, you thought that because you were the only one who knew his true identity, then that made you special to him, you will always be a go
“Has it been up to six months since Harry died and you are flirting with another man, don't you have some self-respect, at least for the baby in your womb”“My baby needs a Father and I can assure you that we are fully happy with our new daddy, what about you Olivia, have you dated even once, oh yeah I remember you had an abusive boyfriend back in the state that you had to run back home and start clinging to my man”Olivia opened her mouth to speak but immediately kicked against it, she had a purpose of being here and needed not to let her guard down over some provocative words. “You can go ahead and say whatever you want to me, after all, you are the boss here” Olivia replied and stormed out of there. ***** After getting off work, Olivia was hoping to halt a cab when a red car drove right towards her and parked in front of her, at first she was furious at the driver's reckless driving, but seeing that it was Paulos, a smile spread across her face. “Hey pretty, you look exhausted,
Chapter 141:Once Paulos dropped Olivia by the roadside, he sped off the car straight to the Grandmaster’s but on arriving there, he was not allowed inside by the security at the gate, he was stunned as he stared at the security officer with perplexity. “What the hell is going on here?”“I am sorry Sir, but the Grandmaster is not available at the moment”“When has that ever been a problem stopping me from going inside?”“I am sorry Sir, but you seemed to be in a hurry, I just thought that I should inform you on time”“Do you know how long it is going to take?”“I am sorry Sir, but I think that he will be gone for the entire week, he is out of the country on an important business deal”“This is strange, there are so many capable men that could have gone for the meeting, why did he have to go by himself?”“I can't tell Sir, but I guess that was how important the meeting is to him, you need to leave right away”“No! I can't leave, please I need to spend the night here until I have made
Lisa stared at this man for a while, and he seemed like an emotional serial killer, a man who was not capable of impregnating his wife, beat her up at the slightest chance that he ever got, murdering her but then seats down and claimed the victim in the whole story. “So you murdered your wife because she was carrying another man's child?”“It was not my intention to murder her, believe me when I say that it was an accident and this was all Lilly's fault, if only she had told me the truth…”“What would have happened then? ” Lisa cut him off, his words and the way he justified his entire actions pissed her off. “So you are saying that if she had told you the truth, then you wouldn't beat her a y less than you always did or would that have made you a better husband?”“I am not perfect but all of this was her fault, and I think that she got what she deserved”“What about you Charles, can you same the same for yourself, did you get what you deserved?” she asked and he was silent for a whi
Once Lisa and Harry were both inside the car, she turned to Harry and hugged him so tightly, her expression like that of a child who had just been handed her favorite snacks. “Wow! Harry, it felt so amazing seeing that expression on his face, despite all his threats, the moment that he laid eyes on you, he knew that he had lost and there was no hope anywhere for him”“Soon everyone is going to get a taste of their own medicine and then they will finally realize what it feels like to look down on people”“Yeah, Harry can you drop me off at the hospital, I have been having severe pain in my waist lately and I think that I need to see a doctor” She asked of him and his eyes immediately trail down to her waist with concern. “It might be from too much stress, you need to ease down on your workload and some of it to your staff and if you do not trust your designers to do the work diligently behind your back, then you need to employ competent designer that will take your company to another
Sophia turned around to Emily as she gritted her teeth, so much anger was fueling inside of her. “You want us to apologize to Lisa, why should we be the ones to do that?”“You all were so quick to call her husband all sorts of names, you accused him of murdering your daughter and forgot about the fact that Lisa was feeling so much emotions at the loss of her husband too”“We owe Lisa no apology because it was no fault of ours that the evidence looked so real, we were in pain and grieving, you thought the same of him didn't you?” “I never did! It was all you that asked him to go over to Lilly's house and drive her over, that goodness of his heart killed him and up to now, I can't tell if that young man will be able to forgive me in his grave”Emily cried out as tears rolled down her cheeks. “It is fine Emily, we understand you and I am going to ask Lisa for forgiveness once I set eyes on her.”Eric assured her and it seemed to have calmed the tension between both women. ***** Lisa a
An intense air filled the room, everyone had a deep frown on their face while trying to crack their head for a solution that was out of reach. Lisa breathed in and out hoping that she did not go into labor right there as a result of the excessive stress that clouded her, but right there, there was only one person that came to her mind, the only one who was capable of coming up with a solution in a situation like this. “Lexy! Go over to the representatives from Arian Fashion and tell them that there has been a tiny delay, apologize, and ask them to be patient for a while, I need to step out for a while”“Yes ma” Lexy stepped out of the showroom while Lisa who seemed so calm about the entire situation strided over to the balcony. She dialed a number from her phone and it could be heard ringing, after ringing consistently, it went straight to voicemail. “Oh No! Not today, not right now, I can't deal with all of this by myself” She muttered to herself as she placed the call again, it k
Harry was a man who went through severe torture and as most people would say, he ended up falling in love with the wrong person, but amits everything that he went through in life, he did not give up, he kept striving, going through so much pain, but the hardships that he went through in life seemed to have also helped shaped his life. But at that moment when he was going to give up on life itself, light shone on him and he became so wealthy that most people would consider it impossible, even when he had acquired so much wealth, Harry did not become arrogant or belittle those around him, especially those who had humiliated him in the past, he was so humble to the core that he served at their feet and never in their entire life did they imagine that he could be a billionaire. Lisa on her end made so many mistakes in the beginning but she was able to come through and realize how much sacrifices the man she married was making for her finally, she learned to love him but his death shatte
While Williams rushed over to Olivia, he held her in his arms, she was gasping for breath, no doubt that she was feeling immense pain, for the first time, tears rolled down his cheek seeing the only woman he ever dared love in pain. “Will, you have to let me go this time around…. ” She was coughing out blood as she spoke. “Someone call an ambulance!!”Williams roared at the top of his voice while he tried to put pressure on the wound. “We have called for an ambulance, it should be here soon” Gilbert replied but Williams was shedding so many more tears than he ever did before, he could bear seeing Olivia locked away but what he could not bear was the thought of never seeing her again. “Why are you so stubborn Olivia, I warned you, I was ready to give up my life for you, why couldn't it be me, am I so hard to love that you would rather die than be with me”“it is not that you are difficult to love, I just do not deserve you, I do not deserve your love, you should be with someone more
Williams picked up his phone and placed a call to Olivia, after several rings, it went right to voicemail, but he was not going to give up in haste. He kept calling her until finally, her tiny voice came through. “What is it Williams, I am busy right now” Those were the first words she said once she picked up the call. “How are you doing Olivia?”“How are you expecting, you and Harry have my Mother and Father locked up and today, I just lost Grandma from the massive shock she had to receive, so how do you expect me to do?”“Is that why you kidnapped Lisa?” He asked and she was silent for a while. “So you know, but do not bother trying to talk me out of this one, it is not going to work, it's all over because she will be dead before you find her”“I do not care about Lisa, who I care about is you, I do not want you to get hurt in the process, you have been hurt so much and I understand that right now you think no one cares about you, but I do”“I do not care about your feelings for m
Chapter 225:Williams picked up his phone and dialed Lisa’s number but after each rang, it went straight to voicemail, he gently closed the bridge of his nose, worried that something might have happened to her as he rose to his feet. He scurried through the parking lot, hopped into his car, and drove right for Springfield estate, but it was just Mrs. Emily at home. “Williams, It is such a surprise to see you hear by this time of the day, or did you forget something here the last time that you were here?” A bright smile filled her face while she asked. “Not at all, Lisa is not at the office and they seem worried so I just thought to know if she came back home perhaps for any purpose at all”“No, Lisa left for work early this morning and hasn't been back until now, have you tried reaching out to her through her phone?”“I have tried countless times to no avail, I think that there is a problem somewhere”“What kind of problem could that be because you are making me scared right now, a
Olivia spent most of the day at the hospital, she was filled with so much pain and humiliation that she dared not go out even after receiving several messages from her mother who wanted to see her, she still refused to leave. It was early that morning when Olivia was still fast asleep close to Grandma Maria when she heard the sound of the machine that was connected to Grandma making a rapid sound. Olivia opened her eyes and realized that Grandma was gasping for breath as she jerked up. “Grandma! Grandma!! Grandma speak to me what is going on?”Fear took hold of her seeing that Grandma was rolling her eyes back and forth trying to breathe but it proved difficult for her. So she dashed out of the ward as she hurried to go get the doctor. “Doctor! Nurse!! ” She was screaming at the top of her voice and even the doctor who had received this alert from his emergency button was rushing over to the ward accompanied by his group of trainees and nurses. “Doctor please you need to help her,
Lisa felt her heart melt seeing Harry in a state that she had never seen him before and all she could do was tap his shoulder gently in an attempt to console him while he quickly wiped away his tears. “No amount of apologies will take away the pain that you had to go through while you had a father who could have made life easy for you, I am so sorry that I put you through so much pain and now I am paying gravely for my transgression”“It's alright, you do not have to keep beating yourself about this, I know you have paid gravely for your wrongdoings, and it is enough, now is the time that you finally find peace ”“Yes, being able to be on good terms with you again in this lifetime is enough peace for me. That moment when I stood at that event and watched you climb up the stage, I knew for sure that this was God's way of forgiving me, now I can die in peace”“Do not make use of such words here, you are not dying not while I am here”“My son, I understand that you are powerful but deat
Williams was able to book with a specialist in Chicago and a date of appointment was fixed. Harry alongside Lisa went over to visit Jeff as they knocked on his door. After he had gone bankrupt, he sold most of his properties which included his mansion, and had to buy off a small apartment on the outskirts of town. Harry and Lisa both stood outside for a while staring at the environment, although the house was small it was decorated with flowers that helped beautify the home. “Looks like he found himself a hobby after retirement” Lisa teased seeing how well the plants and flowers were taken care of. His garden lacked no plants at all from tomatoes, peppers, apples, and berries down to large trees that provided fruits and also farm works like cucumber which made life easy for him. “I guess he lost all his friends when he lost his wealth and had to find himself another kind of companion he had to hold onto” Harry commented as he walked closer to the garden, he plunged a piece of tomat
Harry and Lisa both arrived at the precinct, after the last time she was there, she did. not want to visit this place again, but now she was here again and it was to visit those same people that had caused her nothing but harm. They both sat in the waiting area and seeing how nervous she was, Harry held her hand gently. ““Lisa and the dead man that rose again” Eric teased as soon as he stepped in with a disdainful smile that made the pit of Lisa’s stomach curled up in anger. “You know, I should have listened to Charles when I visited him and he kept telling me you were alive and haunting him, I thought that he had gone crazy because this place could make you insane but looks like he was right”He expressed that as he tried to sit down with a cuff around his wrist, Lisa immediately punched him hard in the face and blood began dripping from his nose. “How dare you son of a bitch still have the ability to smile after everything that you have done, how do you even manage to sleep at n
Chapter 220:Hearing that Jeff was diagnosed with such a rare sickness got him on another dimension, just when he thought that perhaps after all the fuss, he could finally make up with his father, in the end, it was all a lost cost. ”I guess you have been diagnosed with such sickness is enough punishment for you, you can leave now, I have no business with you”“Harry…. ”“Leave!! Otherwise, I will be forced to call security to drag you away!! ” He roared at the top of his voice, his eyes filled with fury as Jeff walked away. Harry was not furious about the man, but the fate that he was cursed with and the parent that he longed for all his life was right before him, and he was out of range. He tried to calm himself down while he sat down staring blankly at the computer, a knock came through and Williams stepped in. “Wow! It is so good to have you back at this office. The board is all thrilled with you and would like a meeting with you”“Do they think that this company makes money jus
