Eric just concluded a meeting with his lawyers at the company where he was hoping to find the chances of obtaining an inheritance from Bryn Empire under Lisa's name. Although his lawyer assured him that they could acquire the inheritance considering that they were legally married when Harry died and Lisa was carrying his child, he understood how powerful Bryn Empire was and the ability to navigate whatever situation they wanted. Stroding out of the office was Charles waiting outside for him. “Charles! Is that you, it has been a while now”.“Yes I am aware which is why I decided to check up on you”“That sounds about nice, let head over to the cafeteria” Eric expressed with a tight-lipped smile because he knew that whatever brought Charles to his office this early wasn't going to be a good one. They both occupied a seat at the cafeteria mainly reserved for the CEO which he was although he barely visited there and only gets to relax at fancy and sophisticated hotels and restaurants.
Arriving at the Carrion Mansion, everywhere was in chaos with the cops searching through Lilly's room, there were a few of her old things that were already packed up in a box. Eric and Grandma Maria stepped in, she clutched her to her chest hoping not to get a heart attack from the state in which her home was left. “Eric! Finally, you are here! ” Sophia felt a glitter of relief seeing her husband walk through that door as she embraced him warmly. “What happened?”.“I don't know, they just banged in claiming to have some dumb warrant, they turned Lilly and Olivia's room upside down”.“Relax Sofy, I will go ahead and speak to them now”. Sophia released herself from his grip and hurried inside where two officers had a mask around their nose and gloves covering their hands while they carried out the boxes. “Officer goof day!” Eric greeted politely, but the officer nodded without saying a word to him. “This is my home, and I would like to know what is going on?”“We called earlier to i
Each time she tries to be calm and reason properly with these people, it never turns out well, She is filled with so much hatred for these people and all she wanted at the moment was to get rid of them. “You all! Get up and leave!” She pressed her lips together as she spoke, trying to contain the rage that was fueling inside of her. “What! Lisa have you gone out of your senses, you are asking Grandma to leave? ”“Mother can you just shut up even for a moment, you are the reason why these people have consistently abused us like we meant nothing to them, how can she look at me and ask me to give up my hard work to them, again and again, they have treated us like trash and you think that it is disrespectful for me to ask them to leave”“Lisa Calm down, I understand that the pregnancy hormones have taken a turn at you, but we can talk properly” Eric tries to calm her down, a tender gaze at her. Lisa exhaled loudly before she sat down again. “You do not have to merge if you do not, but
Charles fiddles with his fingers as he paces around the office trying not to look nervous, but there were already traces of sweat dripping from his forehead. “Relax, with the way that you are acting, you might as well go out there and declare yourself guilty”.Paulos who seemed so calm about the situation with his legs crossed exclaimed. “Why do you think they are here, do you think that perhaps they found something?”“We can't be certain until we go out there and find out what they want”“No! I do not think that is the best solution, if words get out about this, I might lose the contract, it is best that I flee now that it is early”“If you do that, then that would be you declaring yourself guilty with no evidence required. Go out, act normal, whatever evidence they think they have on you, deny it until your lawyer gets there,” Paulos advised. Charles was silent for a moment before he nodded his head adjusted the collar of his shirt, and strode out of the office.At the large hall w
Seeing that Williams was now lying on the floor while clutching onto his leg that was pouring out blood profusely, they jerked him up dragged him over to the black sedan, and sped over before anyone would notice what had transpired there. Part of his shirt was ripped out and used in bandaging the hole where the gunshot had pieced through. Williams screamed so loud in pain, that his body flared up with fever, he was sweating profusely, and yet he was feeling cold as he shivered. “You should not have shut him, at this point, he might die before we even arrive at the location”“What should I have done, watch him escape because you failed to do your job properly, I am not taking the blame for your stupid mistakes!!” They flared up at each other, the fabric used in covering up his wound was now filled with blood and Williams knew that at this rate, he might end up losing his life. “Get the bullet out, else I might not survive whatever interrogation you have installed for me”. He grunts
Harry stood right before Williams in a mask that he failed to recognize, but as soon as he realized who was standing right before him, he heaved a sigh of relief. “Sir…. ” Williams tried to talk but he motioned him not to, Harry hauled him up from the ground and while he had his hands crossed around his shoulder, they both leaped out of the building. His men kept on chasing the abductors with one down but they were fast enough and knew all the route to that area and within minutes, they fled away from eye view. Williams was admitted to the hospital where he spent a few days day unconscious, his legs received proper treatment, although badly injured. He sunken his eyes to the figure seated close to his sick bed, Harry widened his lips into a wide smile relief that he was finally awake. “Sir… Why are you here?” His voice was raspy and barely audible but Harry could hear every single word that slid out of his mouth. “ You nearly gave me a heart attack and I need to make sure that y
Emily received a call that her daughter had been stabbed and rushed over to the hospital, but on getting there, She was told that she had been transferred to the central hospital. Fear immediately took hold of her, the thought that Lisa's situation was a complicated one which is why she was transferred. She hurried to the central hospital, but Lisa had been operated on at that moment so there was no way she could see her. She kept pacing around the hospital, tears filled her eyes but she held herself firmly trying not to let it get to her. A middle-aged man rushed over to her, he was breathing rapidly and it seemed he ran through the stairs instead of using the elevator, Emily turned around and a frown immediately appeared on her face. “Mr. Roland! What are you doing here?”“How is she? How is Lisa?”“What do you care, if there is anything you will be happy if something should happen to her or the baby, that way you will end up claiming all of Harry's inheritance for yourself”“A
In a dark and damp basement were two men tied to a chair, they had been tortured and their entire body was filled with bruises. After the incident with Lisa, Charles was suddenly released from prison and was so excited thinking that it was Paulos who had helped him but as soon as he was outside the precinct, His face was immediately covered and bundled into a van. “Who the hell are you? And how dare you kidnap me, do you realize who I am?” he grunts while gasping for breath with his face covered with a black thick cloth. “Let me out of here and I promise to let this slide, else my boys will get to you soon and do the needful” He complained again, but the entire place was still silent, although his heart was pouncing deep in his chest, he tries to keep his cool. there was no response from his kidnappers so he decided to remain calm and see where he had been taken to. Once the van came to a halt, he was dragged into a basement, tied to a chair against another and when he heard the v
