The Silent Heir I advice you …
“I’m sorry but that is not something an intern does by ordering me around” “What do you mean you can’t do that? You are the first face everyone sees when they come here and you have all the rights to do as I’ve said. Can it be that you don’t know how to do your job anymore? What is wrong with people in this country? How can someone like you be employed when you don’t even know how to follow simple instructions” Kendrick said in anger.The receptionist just stood there without a word and this made Kendrick more angry than he has ever been today.“You are just going to stand there and do nothing about what I just said? I Can’t believe that you are deaf and dumb or something. You know what, I can make you disappear from this desk you are so proud of. Don’t forget that my dad is the…”Kendrick did not get to finish his words when the receptionist interrupted him,“One of the executive head of this company. Yeah I heard you the first time you said that” “Well, then you should do as you ha

Emily stood up with a smile and ran towards Micheal.“Hei, slow down,” he said with a concerned look.“You are here,” Emily said.Looking at her calm mood now, one will not believe that she is the same Emily who reprimanded Kendrick earlier.“I heard something about not caring about someone. Did something happen to someone or not? What going on” Micheal asked.Emily was about to say something else when Rita beat her to it.“She is talking about Kendrick” “Kendrick Jones?” he asked.“Yes, that one. Who would have thought that he is still the same with that trashy personality or his? You should have seen how arrogant he was when he tried to knock us down with his car. And he still had the temerity to try and kick us out of the company just because his father is on an executive board” Rita said in one breath.“Oh, he is here already,” Michael said when he realized, “Wait? Did you say he almost knocked you down”He quickly held Emily’s hands and asked, “Are you okay? Did you hurt you? Sho
The Silent Heir Hit you hard when you don't expect it
Alice smiled without a bit of irritation on the face.It can be seen that she has encountered something like this before.But so what? Now she is the boss and he is just someone who has yet to work for the company.Despite being the son of an executive board member, there is no exception, and she is going to stick to it.“Thank you for reminding me of my position in this company. And I am so sorry if our new rule is making you uncomfortable. But we just want to get to know more about our new interns that’s why the system has changed this year. Also, I would like to remind you that your father is just a board member, not the CEO. This means you and he are all supposed to follow the rules of this company. But if it’s too much for you, it’s not too late to quit before it starts. No one is going to stop you.” She said with a smile.Kendrick would have left to save himself from all these if not for the fact that his father would be so pissed.Seeing that he has no intention of leaving, Al

“So what do you say ?” Marc has lost all the patience he has in him and knows it’s time to tear of the face of this good-for-nothing person.But just when he wanted to do that, Micheal stopped him.What is this assistant of the CEO trying to do?Has this person offended him enough for him to take such a step?He doesn’t know what Micheal has planned, but as someone who has been working in this company for a while now knew what is about to happen.Ana for a moment there he almost felt pity for Kendrick.It’s a shame it came and left as fast as the thought came.“You can help me get a job in a branch company because your father is an executive member? Ain’t you afraid he might lose his job because of your utterances?” Micheal asked.“Lose his job? Is that even possible? Someone like you who has yet to see the real world can never understand the life of the rich. You need to get in line to see what is going to be shown to you. Since I said I can help you get a job then I can do that. You

Kendrick clasped his hands in anger…“You…”“Me what?” Micheal asked with a scoff.“Before you decide to say or do anything, you first have to read the room to see if it’s better to speak up or not. You decided to show off your power as someone related to a branch executive. Since when is your family next in line to make decisions for this company? You and your so-called pride which is preventing you from doing what is right are going to cost you these very minutes. Mr. Marc..”Marc who was being called was drowned back from his thoughts.Why does he have this feeling that this secretary’s aura is as scary as the big boss?Oh is it just his imagination or has even the influence of a secretary changed just because he is close to the big boss?Then this is so intimidating.“Y. Yes,” he stammered.“What are the rules of this company concerning someone who doesn’t respect this company policy? Does it mean nothing to you? Is this how you say you handle matters in this HR? This is a real eye

Siege hospital…Rita stood in the hallway with an edgy expression as she held onto Emily’s phone.It’s been six minutes since she called Micheal but it felt like six hours.Just then…“Where is my Emily?”Venice cried as she walked towards Rita.“Venice,” Rita said silently.Venice hurried towards her and held her hands, “ how is your friend? What is going on? Why did I suddenly get a call about Emily being in a hospital”“Venice… Emily was bleeding heavily. I… I don’t know what happened but she suddenly started screaming and held her abdomen, screaming about being in so much pain. And that’s when she collapsed. I didn't know what to do and called 911 ”Rita said everything as it happened and she felt out of breath after.“This is crazy. How can she suddenly be in such a situation? And where was that good for nothing when this happened” Venice asked angrily.“He… He wasn’t in the house when this happened” Rita answered and answered quickly, “but I have called him and he said he is o
The Silent Heir 13
Micheal coldly walked straight to Rita ignoring both Venice and Aaron and asked, “ Where is Emily” Rita seeing the only person who genuinely cares for Emily has arrived,She breathed in a sigh of relief and strolled towards him.“Thank goodness. Emily is still in the ICU. The doctors are yet to say anything to us” Rita answeredIf one looks closely, one can see that her tensed shoulders have finally dropped.“Now tell me..”Michaels was about to ask what happened when Venice interrupted him.“What are you doing here?”Micheal turned and she was scared to her bones. What is this expression?She has never felt her back this chilled before.She quite remembers Micheal had the same expression on the last visit to their house.But since it wasn’t directed at her, she didn’t think much about it.Who would have thought she would one day experience it herself?Is this the same useless son-in-law she picked?“Who.. Who are you looking at in that manner” Venice stammered.Aaron could a

As soon as she saw what was being shown to her, Emily screamed,“Goodness”Emily was frightened by Emily’s sudden cry and she also jumped in fright.“What happened?” she asked.Emily was unbothered by the arrival of her old friend and stared gleefully at the box in Rita’s hand.Seeing the reason for her reaction Rita rolled her eyes, “Was it vital to react in such a manner? All these are for you and no one else. There is no need to react like it will be taken away from you if you do nothing”Emily stared at her with tears in her eyes.Rita was shaken when she saw this.Are these tears of joy for seeing the box she brought or there is a different reason behind it?All the same, she stepped forward and held Emily’s hand with a worried look forgetting all about her tease.No matter what it always breaks her heart when she sees Emily in such a situation.“Are you okay? Did something happen?” Seeing the look on Rita's face, Emily knew she had overreacted.But no one can blame her as her h

Kincaid had just finished with Shine and was walking back to the hotel. He walked towards the elevator and saw a figure he knew very well standing inside. After giving a nod, he entered the elevator and the person did the same. He pressed his floor button and stood there quietly."It's very nice to see you again. Coming back from the bat, I suppose?" Alec asked with a smile.Kim didn't even look at him but smiled as he replied, "Yeah."Alec nodded his head and continued, "Guess your night has been quite eventful. I saw you hitting it off with Maria earlier today. And believe me, she might feel the same."Kim didn't rush to reply or look at him, instead choosing to remain quiet.He felt that Alec often had one interest in mind but always tried to find something to pin on others, and that's exactly what he was doing right now."It's surprising that you, venturing into public political business and being the president and heir to the Crowns family empire, are so interested in other pe

Kincaid walked into his suite and immediately sensed that something was off. With an alert look, he didn't even turn on the lights in the room before he sensed a hand about to attack him. He swiftly dodged to the side and prepared to counterattack.The person attacking him seemed surprised, not expecting him to counter with such strength. Kincaid quickly grabbed the person's hand and swiftly threw them overboard."Ouch," the person groaned in pain as he lay on the floor."Is it over already? I was hoping for more. This is so boring," Jayden's voice echoed in the darkness.Kincaid calmly walked to the switch and turned on the lights, revealing Cole lying on the floor."What are both of you still doing here? I thought you guys might be in your room by now," Kincaid asked, crossing both his hands on his chest."Can you be less serious next time? I may look like a young man, but I'm old in spirit. Have some mercy," Cole said as he struggled to stand up.Kincaid casually glanced at him an

Kincaid walked away into his closet to get something to put on."You can leave the same way you came if there is nothing else. I need to get my beauty sleep as I have some work tomorrow," he said.With that, she felt a surge of pain in her heart and didn't know how to react to this."And I guess it's with Maira, right? You guys have become really close in this short time. Very interesting," Shine said.Kincaid, who had already put on some pants and was about to put on a shirt, smiled."And how is that any of your business? Last I remember, you allowed your friend into your house and even went to the club with him. You can do whatever you want with your life, and I can't do the same? Interesting."Shine was beyond herself in rage. She walked towards the window, about to leave the same way she came, without bothering to answer when he spoke."Oh, and also, I think we've done enough with this fake relationship. I think it's time we let go of this charade so we can both do whatever we wan

The next day, Kincaid arrived at the Pierre mansion, his eyes filled with admiration as he took in the grandeur of the estate. “I'm already there, don't worry I will be with you soon okay” he said with a tender smile .“You sure? I don't want that Maria cockroach to punch on you as soon as you arrive there, "Shine said with gritted teeth. “I knew I to follow you there” “You are cute,” he said and that was enough to shut her up.He couldn't see her but he could sense that she was blusing.“Okay I will coke right to you after this meeting okay” he said and before he could say something else, she hung up.He smiled widely but it soon disappeared when he git down from his car. The mansion stood majestically amidst sprawling gardens, its architecture exuding a timeless elegance. The air was filled with the fragrance of blooming flowers, and the sound of chirping birds added a serene melody to the surroundings.A butler, impeccably dressed in a formal suit, stepped forward to greet Kin

As the lingering silence filled the room, Mr. Pierre shifted gears smoothly, changing the subject to business matters. "Now, let's talk about the collaboration for the new hotel project. I've heard remarkable things about your management skills, Kincaid, and I believe your expertise will be invaluable in this endeavor."Kincaid nodded, appreciating the shift in conversation. "Thank you, Mr. Pierre. I've had successful experiences with hotel projects in the past, and I'm eager to explore this opportunity further. With your support and resources, we can create something truly extraordinary."Over the next couple of hours, Kincaid and Mr. Pierre delved into the details of the new hotel venture. They discussed location possibilities, design concepts, target demographics, and potential challenges they might face. Kincaid's passion for the industry was evident, and Mr. Pierre was impressed with his strategic thinking and attention to detail.After their fruitful discussion, Kincaid stood

After Kincaid left, the warm glow of the evening sun painted the mansion's walls in shades of gold. Mr. Pierre and Maria found themselves sitting in the elegant living room, a gentle breeze rustling the curtains.Mr. Pierre studied his granddaughter's face, noticing the wistful look in her eyes. "Maria, my dear, what are you hoping for with Kincaid?" he asked gently.Maria's calm façade vanished into thin air, replaced by a flicker of arrogance. "Well, Grandfather," she began, "I might not know exactly what I'm hoping for, but there's something about Kincaid that intrigues me. He doesn't appear to be someone who's interested in me, but I can't help but feel drawn to him."Mr. Pierre smiled knowingly, reaching out to hold Maria's hands warmly. "My dearest girl, the heart can be a complex thing. It may not always align with what our eyes see. Kincaid is a remarkable man, and I understand why you find him intriguing. If there's something you desire, I support you wholeheartedly."Maria's

“This feels like heaven”Shine walked into the glamourous mall, its rich decorations and luxurious stores making her feel like she had stepped into a world of glamour and extravagance. The marble floors reflected the shimmering lights of chandeliers hanging from the high ceilings, and the sound of soft music filled the air, adding to the aura of luxury.Cole followed her closely, carrying a plethora of shopping bags from their previous mall visits. “This… This is like the third mall already”. He seemed a bit overwhelmed and exhausted, but Shine was in high spirits. This was the third mall they had visited that day, and she didn't seem worried about the time or money spent. “Cole hurries we need to get more,” she said and run away excitedly, looking nothing like the cold detective Shine. For her, it was the first time she could indulge in something purely for her pleasure, free from work-related stress and responsibilities.Her eyes sparkled like a child in a candy shop as she sca

Shine felt a mix of surprise and embarrassment as she found herself held in an intimate position by Alec. “Ermm, thank you”She quickly tried to pull herself away from him, putting on an angry and disgusted look.Cole, who had placed the shopping bags away, hurriedly stood before Shine protectively, his fists clenched. "Stay away from her! She's my boss, Kincaid's woman," Cole warned Alec with a fierce glare.Alec smirked, raising his hands in a mock surrender. "No need to act alarmed, my friend. I come in peace," he said, his voice oozing with charm. "I never said I'm interested in your boss lady here," he added, looking at Shine with a playful glint in his eyes. "But I have to admit, the detective is quite the beauty. Wouldn't mind having her as my woman."Cole's protective instincts flared up, and he took a step closer, ready to defend Shine's honor. "Back off! She's not interested in you. It's a shams she is only interested in Kincaid “Cole retorted, his voice laced with a war
