Lawton exchanged pleasantries with the lawyer and sat down.He then asked the lawyer if there was a way the company could be his own forever and the lawyer told him he had figured out a way."You own more than half the shares of the company," the lawyer said."It's almost impossible for him to take the company away from you but there's one thing we could do that guarantees that," the lawyer added.Lawton asked what it was and the lawyer brought out a document containing the remaining shareholders of the company.Most of them had little shares but there was a particular man who had the highest.The Lawyer then suggested they convince the man to sell his shares to them."If he sells his shares to you, you would not have to worry about anything," the lawyer said.Amanda and Lawton nodded in agreement as they both thought the idea was a good one.Smithson then informed Lawton what Barry was up to and told him they had to hurry."He rescheduled the meeting to tomorrow," Smithson said."Wha
Peter gently placed his phone down on the table as he looked at Lawton."The papers?" Lawton asked, looking at the lawyer.The lawyer handed the papers to Lawton who placed them on Peter's table."Sign it," Lawton said gently.He then assured Peter his secret was safe with him as long as he signed the papers.Peter reluctantly picked up a pen and sighed the paper in front of him before handing it back to Lawton.Peter knew he could lose his position and his wife, losing the shares to the pharmaceutical company was a small loss compared to what was going to happen to him if his secret gets leaked.Lawton then brought out the cheque he had already written and carefully handed it to Peter.Peter gasped as he saw the amount of money in the cheque."Nice doing business with you," Lawton said, to Peter before standing up and walking out of his office with the lawyer.Amanda watched Lawton walk out of Peter's office and wondered if he was able to get Peter to sign the document."Did he sign
"Amanda," Lawton yelled as he repeatedly tapped her on the cheeks.Smithson who could hear their noises rushed towards where he could hear Lawton's voice to meet him. and Amanda on the floor."What happened?" Smithson said as he saw an unconscious Amanda."We should rush her to the hospital," he added.He then assisted Lawton in carrying Amanda and they both picked her up.They carried her into the car and Lawton entered the back seat with her while Smithson sat in the front seat with the driver."Take us to the nearest hospital," Smithson instructed the driver who drove off immediately.The driver increased the speed a bit as he could tell it was an emergency.Lawton carefully placed Amanda's head on his lap as he felt her pulse frequently."Please hurry," Lawton who was feeling a mix of emotions said."I found a hospital," Smithson said as he pointed towards a hospital on the other side of the road."Drive-in," Smithson ordered.The driver immediately drove into the hospital and par
It was the golden anniversary of the Williams Family Patriarch and his wife. They had been married for 50 solid years together.All their children and the few grandkids that they already had were gathered in the house, with a few of their closest friends who had pretty much become family to them, joining them as well.The entire living room was decked out in glittering lights, tiny wires filled with golden light that shined and illuminated the whole space.The large five tier cake, each tier to mark one decade had already been cut into, and served to the guests. The champagne fountain had also noticeably reduced.Everyone was having a good time. Forget great, they were having a blast. Despite the fact that Master Williams himself was bedridden and couldn't even come out for the anniversary, it was just his wife who was receiving all the gifts and good wishes.“Madame Williams, this is one of the only two pairs of shoes from the greatest fashion designer the world had ever seen,” Lady
They all walked back inside, Timothy and Alora extremely proud of themselves. That was when they heard a crash in the back courtyard.They all picked up their pace to go towards the sound of the heavy crash.It was none other than Elijah Lawton. He was standing beside the shattered pieces of Madame Williams sculpture. The same one her son, Barry, had gifted her at the start of the party this evening.He held his champagne flute in his hand, looking a little chagrined at least.Madame Williams shrieked. “Lawton!!! You have destroyed the sculpture my treasured son made of me. How dare you?!”Allison didn't even have to say a word for everyone to conclude that he had destroyed the sculpture. She stood there with a smug, satisfied smirk, her hands folded under her breasts in a way that pushed them up even more.Elijah stumbled back as his wife raced beside him, she held his hand. “Lawton, what have you done?”“You wriggling worm of the earth! You have destroyed mother's beautiful sculptur
“We are going to be homeless.” said Lawton's mother.Lawton rushed to her, joining her on the porch. “What do you mean? Why would we behomeless, mother?”The woman positively looked afraid. “Lawton, she said we've been owing rent for the last six months. She was furious and said she would throw us out.”“Just calm down, nothing like that will happen.”She looked up at Lawton, and then turned to look at Amanda as Amanda also climbed the steps and came up to the porch.“Didn't you people go to the anniversary so you would beg Madame Williams for help when she was in a good mood?”Lawton grimaced. He suddenly felt powerless and not a small amount of stupid. “I broke her priceless sculpture.”Lawton hadn't really been the one to break it. A maid had and he had quickly reacted, telling her to slip inside while he took her place by the shattered pieces as if he had done it.“Why on earth did you do that, Lawton? You know Madame Williams is our only hope.”Lawton shook his head. He opened h
Lawton looked panicked as he searched for the person who had called him that.“Young Master, it is really you!” A pale skinned, bald man in a very stately suit approachedLawton, spreading his arms as if to engulf Lawton in a hug.Lawton dodged him. “Sorry, sir, you've got the wrong man.”It was Mr Smithson, who ran the whole affairs of Lawton's real family back home. He wasn't mistaken of course, but he was from a life and a time that Lawton wanted nothing to do with.“I would recognize you anywhere. Young Master! Don't deny me.” Mr Smithson looked pleadingly at Lawton.Lawton sighed miserably. If he kept denying it, Mr Smithson would keep insisting and eventually reveal his secret. He went closer to Mr Smithson.The man's face pulled into a wide grin. “I knew it was you!”Lawton sighed impatiently. “Don't call me Young Master in public, Mr Smithson. I am no longer that.”The man's face went serious immediately. Mr Smithson always knew when it was time to get all serious and stony fa
Lawton and Amanda went into the hospital room and stayed with Lawton's mother. A few hourslater, they decided that one of them should spend the night so that the other one would come during the daytime.Lawton spent the night at the hospital, and when Amanda came the following morning she took over while he began to think of what would happen at Eden HQ.He had been there a handful of times as a kid. His father had kept him hidden, so that he would be safe. Even the paparazzi had never seen his face. After a while all of that had made him himself lose interest in anything concerning Eden.He had to go today though. He needed money for moms hospital bills and probably the rent too. If he was to be entirely honest with himself, he didn't want anything to do with Eden still.Because of his father and their disagreement.His only priority now was his sick mother. And only that was enough reason to make him go and see Smithson. Smithson had been his father's secretary both at home and in
