The next day, Charles was at his office behind the large desk when Mr. Paulos arrived holding a document containing a few pages. “ Good morning sir! ”. Charles stood up and shook hands with him. “ Welcome Mr. Paulos, have a seat while I get you something to drink”.“ That won't be necessary because I have urgent matters to deal with, I could have sent this to your email, but I needed to be sure that we still had a deal”.“ Did you get anything on that lunatic? ”.“of course, I have my ways, when are we receiving the narcotics you promised? ”.“ It is getting shipped in today, you will be able to receive it by the end of tomorrow”.“ I am holding you on your words, he is not someone that we should be too afraid of, I held him in high regard but now I fully understand why he would want to keep his identity hidden”. Paulos explained and placed the document on the desk, Charles anxiously grabbed the document and evolved it. His eyes scanned through the files, and as he read through th
They both finalized their business deal before Williams who stood behind Harry all this while, came forward to the table and placed there with a page opened. Mr. Johnson carefully took his time to go through the document page by page before signing it, once they were through with the signing process, Paulos cracked his throat, drawing their attention over to him.“ Mr. Harry, how about we discuss my business plan with you”“What are you into if you don't mind me asking and what kind of business deal would you like to offer me?”“ I own a Company in Singapore that is into the exportation of cars”“I am sorry about that, but I won't be able to help you because I don't deal with cars”“I am not asking you to invest in my company, I have a better business proposal for you and I hope that we can have a private conversation”“That won't be a problem, I will set that up then maybe you can come over to my office”“That sounds great!” A deep smile appeared on Paulos's face as they both shook
Charles still filled with rage did not realize the blood that filled everywhere, The maid who was striding into the living room seeing the scene that was unfolding immediately dashed out of there. Although Charles heard the sound of the door swinging open, he was still engrossed with his rage and did not bother to check on the noise, he lifted the vast again ready to pounce on her, but the amount of blood on the floor scared him and he instantly threw the vast away. “Lilly! Lilly!!” He called out, panting heavily. “Lilly I know that this is your way of trying to get away from this, So get up and I promise not to hit you again”He exclaimed again but her body remained unmoved, blood gushing out from her head and body, and slowly its color was varying. “Lilly please get up and we can talk about this?” He called out again, and this time in a pleading tone but there was no word from her nor was there a reaction, Charles squatted down close to her and checked her pulse, but everything w
Dinner did not go as Emily had planned, Lisa had a frown spread across her face and could not wait to leave there. Seeing the intense air around the dining room, Collins cracked his throat, and seeing that he had all their attention, he spoke. “I am so glad to be able to be here with my family again, I did not realize what a blessing it was until I almost lost my life, And Harry, I am so grateful for your help and promise to pay back as soon as I can”“Collins dear, I told you that you do not need to pay him, he owes us more than that if we were to go into some calculation from the time he got married to Lisa”“ Mother! You do not realize the gravity of what he did for me, those men were pretty dangerous, and believe me when I say I would have lost my life, thanks man, after today, you earned my respect”“I did for Lisa” Harry replied with a smile. “I know, I see how much you love her, if only she loved you half as you do”“I do and he knows that” Lisa replied, cutting through his
In the large living room in Springfield mansion stood Lisa and her mother Emily, Emily still held the phone to her ear while Lisa stood still, the room was dead-drop silent except for the sound of the tickling on the wall clock, each second seeming to last an eternity. Lisa's face had become pale, her hands were trembling and her breath became shallow, she felt lost, adrift in a sea of confusion. “No! It can't be! Harry would never do such a thing, this is a prank” She finally spoke after standing there for what felt like forever, and just then, Emily's phone rang again. “Hello… Grandma” Emily managed to speak with her voice trembling. “I want to see you and Lisa at Charles's house this minute” Grandma Maria spoke in a sad but authoritative tone and immediately ended the call. “Lisa, it seems like you won't be having that party at the office today, let go” Emily grabbed her bag that was lying on the couch while she waited for Harry, picked up her car keys from the glass table, an
Inside the empty office where Lisa had previously had a conversation with Harry was Williams sitting opposite Harry and their voice was as low as it could be. “What is going on at the office?”“I told the board that you were at a business meeting and just a few hours after I got the news of your arrest, Mr. Paulos was at the office wanting to buy our company's share”“But I still do not think that is the reason they would murder Lilly”“It could have been an accident and they thought you were the best candidate to frame this on”“Which beats me back to my question which is why, I mean Charles is fully aware and knows how dangerous I could be, but he was bold enough to frame me”“That is because he believes that since you want your identity hidden, you wouldn't go through so much fuss as use your connection”.“I see... ” Harry replies nonchalantly. “Make sure that Mr. Paulos doesn't get his hands on any of our shares and then find out what happened to Lilly”“That will be very diffic
At the enormous Carrion mansion was the entire family and Jeff was also current there, everyone sat with a gloomy stare wearing black. They had just concluded the funeral rite of Lilly and her unborn child since all investigations had been concluded and autopsy results confirmed. Lisa sat close to her mother Emily, her eyes swollen with dark circles around them and it was the same thing for Sophia or Olivia and Grandma Maria was barely holding onto her sanity. “Now that the funeral is over, I think that it is time to move on” Grandma began to speak after so many hours of silence and tears. “Move on you say, I won't move on until I am sure that Harry has been put behind bars”. Sophia cried out. “All investigation has been concluded, the court will be giving their final judgment tomorrow and I believe that it will be in our favor”. Eric explained with a blank expression on his face. “Lisa!” Grandma suddenly called and she lifted her head to stare at her, traces of tears still visi
Lisa drove the car at an unusual speed, the thought that there was some kind of hope for Harry sent a shiver of excitement down her spine and she couldn't wait to arrive there on time. She parked her car in front of the precinct and hurried inside, but the cops were gathered in front of Harry's cell including Gilbert and Willaims. A dark air surrounded the cell room as a corpse that was carefully covered was been carried out of there by two cops who had their mouths and hands covered. Lisa needed no one to tell her that something was wrong and she surged out into the cell searching for Harry. “Lisa! Why are you here?”. Williams widened his eyes at her presence. “Where is Harry?” Her eyes scanned around with anxiousness. “Take her outside” He commanded Gilbert who held her hand but she immediately pulled away. “Where the hell is Harry, I need to see him”“You need to calm down and let's talk outside”“I am not talking to you, I just want to see Harry”“He is dead!” Detective Gil
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
