"What happened to my father?" Roland asked almost in a whisper."The chairman collapsed in his study today." Butler Lucas informed.Roland almost went nuts. "Where is he right now?" In asked hastily."At his private hospital..."Before Butler Lucas could complete his statement, Roland had already ignited the engine of his car and zoomed off to the private hospital where the. Chairman was admitted.Roland sat behind the wheel of his car, his foot pressed hard on the gas pedal as he weaved in and out of traffic. He was driving hastily, his heart pounding in his chest as he prayed inwardly for his father's safety. The thought of losing his father, the great Chairman Lafayette, was unbearable.As he pulled up to the private hospital, Roland's heart sank. The building looked cold and unwelcoming, and he could feel his anxiety rising. He took a deep breath and stepped out of the car, striding purposefully towards the entrance.The receptionist looked up as he approached, and he introduce
Anthony woke up early, feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day ahead. He got out of bed and stretched, taking a deep breath of the fresh morning air. He walked over to his closet and pulled out a crisp white dress shirt, a navy blue blazer, and a pair of khaki pants. He quickly got dressed and headed downstairs.As he walked into the sitting room, he saw his parents sitting on the couch, deep in conversation. They looked up as he entered, and his mother smiled warmly at him."Good morning, Anthony. How did you sleep?" Mrs. Maria asked."I slept well, thank you," Anthony replied, taking a seat beside his parents."We were just discussing your future," Mr. Williams said, his tone serious.Anthony raised an eyebrow, unsure of what his father meant."We think it's time for you to settle down and start a family," Mrs. Maria said, her tone gentle.Anthony nodded, knowing that his parents had always wanted him to get married and have children."We also wanted to ask you about Katherin
The woman, Debbie, drove her sleek black sports car down the busy street, weaving in and out of traffic with ease. The car was a shiny black color with tinted windows, and its powerful engine purred as she pressed down on the accelerator. She was a skilled driver, deftly maneuvering through the crowded streets with precision and confidence.As she pulled into the parking lot of Lafayette Group, she eased the car into a spot and turned off the engine. She got out of the car, her black leather boots clicking on the pavement as she straightened her black suit jacket. Her blonde hair was pulled back into a sleek ponytail, and she wore a pair of dark sunglasses that hid her eyes.Debbie walked into the office building with purpose, her heels clicking on the marble floor as she made her way to the reception desk. She flashed a smile at the receptionist and introduced herself."Hi, I'm Debbie. I'm here to apply for a job."The receptionist greeted her warmly, but then informed her that
Roland sat in his office, still smiling to himself after Debbie left. He knew that she had recognized him, and her surprise had been priceless. He couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of her reaction.Roland leaned back in his chair and grinned, his mind racing with thoughts of the past. He remembered the way Debbie had treated him, and for a moment, he felt a twinge of anger. But then, he let it go. He was the CEO of a successful company now, and he didn't have time for grudges.Roland mimicked Debbie's reaction, laughing softly to himself. "She looked like she had seen a ghost," he said to himself.He picked up the phone and called his receptionist. "Hey, Sarah, listen. If any woman comes in with the name Debbie Ama, don't you dare let her in and don't disclose anything about me to her," he said, grinning to himself.Sarah laughed. "Sure thing, boss. But why Debbie Ama?" she asked.Roland shrugged. "Just a feeling I have. Trust me on this one," he said, still grinning.He hung
Roland walked out of his office, feeling exhausted from a long day at work. He had just finished a major presentation for a new client, and he was relieved that it had gone well. As he walked out of the building, his thoughts turned to his father, Chairman Lafayette, who was currently admitted at the private hospital.He drove to the hospital and saw Butler Lucas waiting in the lobby. "Good evening, young master. How was your day at work?" Butler Lucas asked, greeting him warmly.Roland nodded, his mind still preoccupied with his father's health. "It was okay. How's my father?" he asked, getting straight to the point.Butler Lucas sighed. "He's not doing well, Mr. Roland. The doctors are doing everything they can," he said, his expression grave.Roland's heart sank. If only he had known that his father had been struggling with his health for a while now, but he didn't know how serious it was.Just then, the doctor interrupted them, calling Roland to his office. They walked down a lon
Anthony sat in his room, his mind racing with thoughts of how he was going to apologize to Katherine. He knew he had hurt her deeply and he needed to make things right. He picked up his phone from his bed and dialed her number, but it wasn't going through. He tried again, but still no response.Feeling frustrated, he decided to call her mother, Alvira. As soon as she answered the phone, he knew something was wrong. Her voice trembled as she spoke, and he could hear the emotion in her words."Anthony, it's Katherine's mother. I'm sorry to tell you this, but Katherine is dead."Anthony was shocked. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. "What? How? What happened?" he stammered.Alvira's voice trembled even more as she explained. "My husband and I found her in her room. We called for an ambulance, but it was too late. They took her for an autopsy to determine the cause of death. We also found some pills next to her, which means she took them to kill herself."Anthony was speechless.
As Anthony drove home, he felt a sense of emptiness inside him. He couldn't believe that Katherine was gone, and he would never see her again. His expression was sober and sad, and he drove slowly, lost in thought.When he got home, his parents were waiting for him, worriedly. His mother, Mrs. Maria, was the first to speak. "Anthony, my dear. What happened? Why did you leave the house in such a hurry? Why are you not happy? And why haven't you been home for days?"Anthony took a deep breath and sat down with his parents. He explained everything in detail, from his fight with Katherine to her death and the news that he was the father of her child.His father, Mr. Williams, looked at him with concern. "I'm sorry, son. I had no idea you were going through all this. You should have told us."Anthony shook his head. "I didn't know how to tell you, dad. I didn't want to burden you with my problems."Mrs. Maria hugged him tightly. "Oh, my dear. We're here for you. We'll help you through thi
Anthony sat at his desk, lost in thought, still thinking about Katherine's death. He knew that he needed to find a way to move on, but he also knew that he couldn't just forget about her.He thought about the people in Katherine's life, especially Roland Lafayette, the man she had loved before she met him. He knew that Roland had hurt Katherine in the past, but he also knew that she still cared for him.Anthony grabbed his laptop and searched for Roland on the web. He found his contact information and called him, feeling nervous and unsure of what to say.Roland was going through a lot, with his father still in the hospital and his half-brother, Alex, being a threat to the company. He answered his phone without looking at the caller ID, not realizing that it was Anthony."Hello?" he said, wearily."Hi, Roland. It's Anthony," Anthony said, hesitantly.Roland was surprised to hear from Anthony, as they hadn't spoken in years. "Anthony? What do you want?""I need to talk to you. Can we
