"Check the news or the internet, anyone you can," Bethel said, pushing the door to Hudson's office open. "Why, what's wrong?" Hudson asked, dropping the documents he was holding. "Just do" Bethel replied, pulling the chair opposite Hudson, back a bit and sitting on it, he had a blank expression on his face so Hudson didn't know what to expect when he opened his phone; whether it was good news or bad news, he didn't know which of them to expect beforehand. He unlocked his phone and entered into the internet immediately, the news that welcomed him was the new CEO of the Bloomix industries, formerly known as Starstruck. He had a mask on his face when addressing his workers who were there to welcome their new CEO and by his side was James Adam and Rebecca Wright. This new industry already grabbed the eye of the public to themselves, the media are trying to unlock the face behind the mask and they are also trying to know the reason why James Adam and Rebecca Wright switched sides f
A round of applause filled the atmosphere, their eyes moving to the top of the building, most of them placed their hands on their forehead afterwards to prevent the sunlight from entering their eyes. Ethan waited for them to bring their eyes back to him and for their applause to settle down.It took them a minute more for them to stop clapping. They all moved their attention to him, everywhere fell silent again. "I don't have much to say, I only had the intention to say my name and the name of the company today but I would like to issue a warning to the companies ahead of us in the global ranking…" he paused.They couldn't tell the reason why he paused, the mask on his face not only prevented them from seeing his face, it also prevented them from telling how he is feeling through his facial expressions."Bloomix industries is coming for you, no one on that ranking is safe because what we are bringing to the public has more quality than you think" he said and bowed his head, about t
Bethel drove as though he didn't notice that he was being followed, he saw an incoming tanker and pressed his foot on the pedal, speeding towards it.The cars followed him blindly, not knowing where he was headed, they pressed their foot on the pedal also. Hudson had no escort behind him, he had given them the day off, he felt that they had been stressed enough the past few days with either driving around with them or following them closely from behind. He didn't regret his decision at all but he was sure that if they were driving closely behind him currently, they would take care of those that are following them. Hudson raised his head and saw that Bethel was speeding towards the incoming car. "What are you doing now?" he asked nonchalantly, turning his head behind, looking through the mirror at the back, he saw that they were still hot in purchase. He let out a soft chuckle and turned his face to the front, "Are you really going to let them have an accident now, in the middl
"Fuck!" Hudson cussed, walking into his house hurriedly, he pulled off his suit and threw it on the couch, loosening his tie while walking to the wine cellar.He pulled it open and took a bottle of liquor from it, opening it, he drank from the bottle directly, gulping it down his throat. His body was already covered in sweats, his chest was heaving up and down slowly.He heard the door being pushed open, he turned his eyes to see who walked in, knowing there was no one else in the compound apart from Bethel but he still felt that he had to check. His chest had been racing immediately he had seen Raphael step out of the car with that expression on his face. He remembered reading that his father had killed Raphael's son a few years ago and he had sworn to kill any of his children, if he gives birth to anyone. "Jeez, my father has a lot of enemies that are aiming for my head, not to talk of the ones that I would make," he said with a slight chuckle. "Fuck" he dropped the bottle on
Hudson sat up, resting his back on the headboard, pulling Alexis on his laps, her gown shifting up her laps, he pulled her closer to him, till their faces were just a few inches apart. He looked into her blue eyes, it was still evident that she wasn't over the fear and worry that she felt a while ago. He let out a soft chuckle, running his hand through her hair, he picked out a couple of strands and twirled it on his fingers, the expression on his face totally unreadable. "You don't have to worry, okay? If it's okay with you, I will always have at least two securities with me wherever I go. If I do that will you stop worrying about me?" he asked."Yes" she replied, nodding her head, she buried her face on his neck, with her arms wrapped around her shoulders. "Your work is so scary" she uttered in a low tone. "and I was fucking scared, so scared that my Hudson happened" "I know, baby, I know," he replied, laying her brown hair down softly, patting her back in the process. "I know
Hudson stepped into the sitting room with a bottle of wine in his hand and a couple of cups in his other hand, he saw his father and Alexis talking and laughing at intervals, Bethel was smiling at intervals, while listening to their conversation. She looked comfortable around him compared to a couple of minutes ago when she was so nervous. The edges of his lips curved up into a smile subconsciously, he loved the way she adapts to any situation. "This is the first time that I would be seeing you in my house since I moved in" Hudson said, handing a cup to each of them, he popped open the bottle and poured into each of their cups. "Not like you ever invited me in the first place" Mr. Alexandros replied, taking a sip from the cup. "Since when did the mighty Alexandros Stewart need an invitation?" Hudson asked with a feigned puzzled expression plastered on his face, sitting beside Alexis. "Tsk" his father sucked the air through his teeth, the room suddenly fell silent, Hudson was abou
Hudson picked up the file from the table, it contained documents concerning the details regarding the new deal he was about to sign with Romanov Insurance company, the new CEO of the company had brought a deal to him not quite long and they have both concluded to conclude the deal at the upcoming charity event which was to be held during the weekend.Romanov Insurance company was just one of the many companies owned by the Romanovs. They were quite a prestigious family who could stand toe-to-toe with the Stewart's family, though they have quite the connection. They were a family that had been in the game for a long period of time, way long before the name "Stewart" was even heard, it is even a miracle that Alexandros Stewart grew up to their level in just one generation. The difference between the Stewart family and the Romanovs is that the Romanovs are only aiming for profits and expanding their business overseas, while the former are aiming for not only the profits and expanding of
Hudson stepped into the hall where the charity event was being hosted, his hand wrapped around Alexis waist, he was putting on a black tux, while Alexis was clad in a red gown. It clung to her body tightly, the lower part of the gown, from her waist downward was flare and it was slit to her right thigh. Every movement she made, showed her bare right leg, stopping at her thigh. She sure caught the sight of everyone immediately as she stepped, Hudson took notice of this and wrapped his arms around her more tightly. Alexis let out a soft chuckle immediately she noticed his arms wrap around her tightly, she looked at his eyes and he looked back, there was something that lit up something in her heart; that look of possessiveness, like he was yelling that she belongs to him and everyone should back off.. They both walked further, nodding at the greetings that were being thrown at them and smiling at intervals. "My my, you are looking radiant today as always, Alexis" Caterina said with a
