Lawton called Smithson as soon as he got his message and informed him he was on his way to the penthouse.Amanda's mind wasn't as rest as she dropped the call with Smithson as she continued to wonder where Lawton was going and why he wasn't telling her anything.Unable to take it anymore, Amanda picked up her phone and called Lawton again."Please just tell me what is going on Lawton," Amanda said."I'm worried," she added."I have opened the envelope," Lawton said."What is in the envelope?" Amanda said."It was a letter, Amanda," Lawton said."I'm driving now, I have a dinner tonight," Lawton continued."I promise to explain everything to you when I get back tonight," he added."Okay," Amanda said, feeling better.Lawton then assured her not to worry about him and informed her not to call him as his phone was going to be off throughout the night before hanging up the phone.Amanda sighed in relief as she dropped her phone when she walked into the dining room and served herself.Aman
Smithson guards remained in their car as they watched Lawton walk into the hotel.They then got out of the car ten minutes after Lawton had walked in to avoid suspicions.They walked into the restaurant opposite the hotel, disguised as customers.They then all sat together and ordered food while they waited for Lawton.They all had microphones on and wireless earbuds."Can you all hear me," Lawton said as he walked into the restaurant, testing if his microphone was working properly."Yes boss," the guards said."Is everyone on standby?" Lawton asked."Yes boss," The guards said.Lawton then paused admiring the hotel as It was a masterpiece of luxury and elegance.The hotel had a large silver chandelier hanging from the center of the hotel."This is beautiful," Lawton said to herself as he looked at it.The hotel also had beautiful exquisite artwork and sculptures adorning the walls.They had beautiful fragrant flowers arranged in every corner of the reception.Lawton then walked to th
Logan continued to taunt Lawton but Lawton looked at him in silence as he talked.He rather feels at peace feeling one step ahead of Logan.Logan wondered why his taunts hadn't been getting to Lawton as he continued to talk.He then decided to switch to something else that could upset Lawton further."How is life?" Logan said."I heard you now work at a small laundry company," Logan continued."How is it going?" Logan added.Lawton figured Lawton was trying to provoke him and decided to calm himself."Work is going well," Lawton said smiling."Let's talk about you," Lawton added."There's nothing to say," Logan said, trying to avoid to topic."Can we order food now," he continued."Aren't you hungry?" He added."I was waiting for you to finish," Lawton said, looking at him."I'm ready if you are ready," Lawton added.Logan then called out to one of the waiters in the restaurant.He then asked for two menu books for Lawton and himself."Ok sir," the waiter said as he walked away.He th
Lawton has mixed feelings as he stares at his food as Logan's comment about his father strikes a nerve with him.He started to rethink everything that had happened to him and this brought him sad memories.He also began to think deeply about the comment Logan had made about his father.He hated that Logan disrespected his father like that but he knew he had to remain calm to find out the main reason he was there.Mr Logan's taunts had begun to get to Lawton."Aren't you going to eat," Logan said as he looked at Lawton who continued to stare at his food."Did my words affect you that much," he added, laughing."The food smells so good," Lawton said, pulling himself together as he picked up the fork in front of him.Logan continued to worry about how his words had not intimidated Lawton.This startled him as he had expected Lawton to punch him in the face or do something irritational as he spoke rudely about his father but his taunts had just been met with a stone-cold silence.Logan wa
Lawton's eyes widened in surprise as he heard Logan's answer. He looked at him in surprise as he wondered why Logan would want him.He hadn't expected the answer he got from Logan.He wondered what Logan had meant by wanting him as a look of confusion crossed his face.Lawton hesitated for a minute but composed himself as he sat down on the chair."I do not understand what you mean," Lawton said."You want me?" Lawton continued."What does that even mean? I need an explanation," Lawton added."I see potential in you, Lawton," Logan said, looking at a confused Lawton."I want you to join my Empire, Lawton," Logan added, with a stern expression.Lawton burst into laughter as he heard Logan talk, surprised Logan would even think of asking him something like that."You want me to join your Empire?" Lawton said, still laughing."You thought I was going to agree to this," Lawton continued."This is why you invited me here?" Lawton added.Logan was taken aback by Lawton's words.He wondered
Logan was taken aback by Lawton's reaction. He had thought threatening to hurt Amanda would have made Lawton scared and agree to his proposal immediately.He couldn't believe Lawton was unfazed by his threats but pulled himself together as he didn't want Lawton to know he was stunned by his reaction.Logan watched as Lawton gazed at him while he talked with a calm, unreadable gaze.He then started to wonder why Lawton was so calm despite his threats and where Lawton got his unwavering confidence from.Logan concluded Lawton was now working with someone very powerful as he could not think of anywhere else Lawton could have gotten his boldness from.He then decided to apply more pressure and continue to threaten Lawton."You are willing to risk your wife's life because of your stubbornness," Logan said, smiling."Amanda's blood will be on your hand," he continued."I'm not going to spare her Lawton," he added."I would look to see you try," Lawton said, angrily, gazing at Logan."I woul
The journey back to the penthouse was a peaceful one for Lawton.He was tired as he had worked a double shift before going for dinner and he had not had any proper rest.All Lawton wanted to do was go home to his wife but knew he couldn't as he had to go back to the penthouse to inform Smithson about everything that had just happened at the dinner and plan their next step.The driver soon got to the penthouse and informed Lawton who was almost dozing off at the back seat."We are here boss," the driver said, facing him."Okay," A tired Lawton said, as he walked out of the car, walking towards the entrance of the penthouse.Smithson was at the entrance of the Penthouse as he rushed down immediately he heard Lawton's car drive into the compound."Welcome youngmaster," Smithson said, as he saw a tired Lawton walking towards him."You seem very tired young master,' he continued."Did the dinner go well?" Smithson added."Let's talk in the penthouse," Lawton said as he walked inside.Logan
Lawton is tense as he watched Smithson talk. He immediately started to wonder how Logan had gotten his location."Get all the guards ready now," Lawton said as he looked at Smithson.Smithson immediately picked up his phone and ordered all the guards to come into the penthouse immediately."How did this happen?" Lawton said, facing a clueless Smithson."You were supposed to be tracking him, how is he tracking us instead?" Lawton continued."How did he know I was coming here?" Lawton added.Smithson looked at Lawton as talked, he was also as clueless as him."I don't know how this happened youngmaster," Smithson said, bowing his head."He must have followed me here," Lawton said.The guards soon came inside the penthouse and Smithson instructed them to all get their weapons ready as they were going to be under attack soon."Get all your weapons ready!" Smithson stated firmly, facing the guards."Go now! we do not have much time to prepare," Smithson added.The guards rushed out of the
"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 hospi
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
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
Barry drove into his house and got out of the car.He walked inside and went straight into his room.Barry removed his clothes and took a shower before changing into a black hoodie and a mask.He had a drug deal that night but did not inform his men because he wanted to do it alone.Barry opened his safe and carefully arranged the packs of cocaine into a black bag before walking out of the room.He then got into his car and started to drive towards the venue.Barry reached the venue and saw the buyer who was already waiting for him before walking out the door.Barry looked around and saw that the buyer had no guards around him and saw this as a perfect opportunity to make more money.Barry needed a lot of money for his plan to get the company back to work.Barry moved closer to the man and they exchanged the bags in their hands.The man then started to walk back to his car when Barry suddenly turned on him and hit him with the bottom of his gun, snatching the bag of drugs he had earl
Amanda watched Lawton fight in awe as he couldn't believe he had gotten so good.She then smiled as she remembered his fight with Barry and realised his training must have helped him."You were amazing," she said, as she hugged him.She then walked back into the penthouse house with him and Smisthon as they were done training.Lawton showered as soon as they got inside the penthouse and joined Smithson and Amanda who were talking about Barry.They then all started to talk and time soon went by.It was soon seven pm.Barry was in his office thinking of how to get back at Lawton for how much he humiliated him.He had called his men who knew he was back to come meet him in his office.Barry fumed angrily as he looked at the time wondering why they had not arrived.He then heard a knock on the door and immediately knew they had arrived."Come in," Barry said.Four muscular men walked in and Barry immediately stood up and walked closer to them."Why are you late?" He asked angrily."I have
Amanda isn't surprised by this as she knew Lawton was going to say that after everything she had seen today."Where to?" Amanda asked.Lawton then told her he had just started to think about it and he had no idea.Lawton then asked her if she had any place she would like to live in mind as he had the money and could afford to buy an apartment anywhere."I have not thought of it," Amanda replied.Lawton and Amanda then spent hours deciding on where they could move to but still couldn't find a place.Amanda then suggested they get an agent who could help them find their dream home and Lawton agreed to this.Amanda and Lawton smiled as they were finally going to be free of the clutches of their landlady.Amanda asked Lawton if he was still going to go back to his job but Lawton told her he was not sure he was."We should take these upstairs," Amanda said, pointing at the shopping bags in front of Lawton."Thank you," she said, as they both shared a kiss.She then carried some of the shop
A middle-aged man was on a hospital bed typing on his laptop.It was no one but Chief Williams.He has been lying and pretending to be sick when he had been conscious the whole time.Chief Williams had been in the hospital planning several plots to attack Lawton which all later backfired.Chief Williams had just finished planning another devious attack when he suddenly heard footsteps.He then looked at the time and realised it was time for his lunch.He had lost track of time and he was about to get caught by the nurse.Chief Williams knew he could not let anyone know he was fully recovered or even close to being recovered.He needed to be at the hospital so no one would suspect him.He then quickly closed the laptop and carefully placed it under his pillow before lying down on the bed and closing his eyes.The nurse walked into Chief Williams' room and dropped the tray of food on a table beside him.The nurse then moved closer to him and started to feed him with the food she had bro
Amanda and Lawton changed into their nightwear quietly as Lawton sealed glances at her.Amanda walked out of the room as she finished and Lawton followed her.Amanda walked into the dining room and carried the food Lawton had earlier bought into the kitchen.She then microwaved it and served it on the dining table.She then asked Lawton who was sitting in the living room to come and eat as she knew he was hungry.Lawton stood up and joined her at the dining table and they both ate in silence.Amanda and Lawton soon finished eating and packed the plates into the kitchen together.Amanda washed the dishes in silence with Lawton who assisted her.Amanda walked out of the kitchen as she was done with the dishes and Lawton ran after her."Babe," he said, holding her."I know you are still upset," he continued."Please let's talk about this, I don't like it when you are mad at me," he added.Amanda then nodded her head in agreement and they both walked into the living room together.Amanda
Madame Willams's chef had prepared dessert as planned.She walked into the living room and informed Madame Williams who did not know what to say to her.Everything had turned upside down and Madame Williams knew nobody would want to have dessert."Don't serve dessert," Madame Williams said."Just go!" she added.Barry and his parents were still on their knees and this was not how Madame Williams pictured the meeting was going to go.Madame Williams continued to apologise to Lawton until he had no choice but to forgive them because of Amanda.He knew Amanda hated what was happening and was uncomfortable."It's fine," Lawton said."You can go," he added.Madame Clarissa then asked him if he was going to fire Barry and Lawton assured her he wasn't.Lady Clarissa stood up with her husband and Barry and walked out of the house in shame.Amanda had been quiet as Lawton had asked her not to interfere.Madame Willams who had been feeling guilty walked up to Lawton and Amanda and asked if they
