“What just happened here?” Anthony asked, extremely confused. “I’m going after them, I have to.” Taron said and immediately left to follow them. Rebecca pushed a button and asked the security to make sure that no one left the gates of the building. “Rebecca, please wait and let us know about what’s going on!” Eloise said and Rebecca shook her head. “Not yet, I have to go and join Taron to handle the terrible people in here.” Rebecca said and rushed to the stairs because the lift was already in use. Eloise and Anthony looked at each other, extremely worried. “What do you think is going on, Anthony?” Eloise asked, and Anthony sighed. “What do you know about your son’s wealth, my love?” He asked her, and she shrugged. “I don’t know how to answer that, but I know that he is loaded, one of the richest in the world now.” Eloise nodded and Anthony shook his head. “No, I was asking if you knew how he got his wealth, I should have phrased the question properly.” Anth
Taron was frustrated. It was like whatever it was that Selena had unleashed on him was working perfectly. One of his companies was trending online, but for wrong reasons, where he was accused of overworking and underpaying his workers, in spite of being one of the biggest in the world. It was not as bad as a personal scandal, but it was a terrible thing in itself. People were calling the heads of the offices and Taron out, and the HR of the affected company had already planned to make videos to convince the public that it was all a lie. People who Taron had turned their businesses down when Taron refused to partner with them were there too, and for some reason, Taron felt that this was only the beginning of it all, and he wasn’t sure of what to make of his foreboding. Rebecca had been doing her best to make things easier, but that didn’t stop his thoughts from running wild. But as he had seemed to lose himself in worry more often than usual, she took up most of the managing work,
Things were disturbing Taron left and right and he had no choice but to continue with what he had to do, and he didn’t want anyone else to worry. Eloise called as he was driving, but he didn’t pick up his phone until he got to work. Then he called her back. Taron!” Eloise sounded like she was just relieved of something. “You had me so worried, where did you go?” “I didn’t actually go anywhere, mom, I was driving, so I could not pick up the phone.” Taron said and Eloise muttered somethings before she finally started to speak. “I was just talking to Anthony, and we were thinking of ways to support, and he told me that he would send someone over to you.” Eloise said. “Send someone over to me? Why? And what is the person going to do for me?” Taron asked. “I don’t know, which is why he would also be on his way soon, he’s just getting ready, this is not my place of understanding, you know? All I know is that you’re going to get aid, and that’s good.” Eloise said. “Okay m
Taron was tired out of his mind. After Anthony left his office, he had a lot of phone calls to receive, and eventually, he ended up hiding from the rest of them, because it was overwhelming. He was in and over his head, and so were they. "Let me rest!" He groaned as his phone started ringing for the umpteenth time, and he reached out, grabbed the phone, and threw it against the wall. The phone hit the wall, and he heard a crack as it fell to the ground, and pieces of glass fell too. Rebecca rushed inside with a worried look on her face. "What was that?" She asked, when she saw Taron all alone in the room and followed his line of sight, and sighed. "Oh Taron, I told you that you needed to get some sleep, you know?" "I'm not sleepy." Taron said as Rebecca went to the mess and picked up his phone, hissing as glass pricked her skin. Taron got up and hurried towards her. "Don't hurt yourself, I still need you more than anything else." Rebecca looked up and when she looked b
She closed her compact mirror sharply and frowned. Why did she care if any of these men thought I’d she looked okay? It wasn’t as if they could see how much she detested them, but she needed them to give her their assistance, anyway. “Boys, good thing that you’re here to see me!” Selena exclaimed, raising up her hands. She was happy to plant confusion into their minds. She had not been with any of them, but calling them boys would only inflate their egos and make them tell each other false stories about them having affairs with her. “Well, you asked to see us for business, and here we are.” One of them said, and Selena sent a blinding smile his way. Whatever his name was. She did not bother to learn their names. “Yes, I have a very wonderful proposal for you, but there are terms and conditions,” She said, and saw how disinterested they looked. “it involves the McCarthy’s businesses, just so you know, so you might want to look a tad bit happier.” She said, and they all look
“What’s wrong, princess?” Taron asked as he pulled Rebecca into his side. “Nothing.” Rebecca murmured. They were back to living together, and she was not feeling so well. She did not feel ill in any way, but she had a terrible foreboding, like as if something was just about to happen, and she had no way to stop it. “You don’t look like it’s nothing— don’t get me wrong, you look good, but you also look kind of down, are you upset?” Taron asked. With all the pressure from the other side outside their home, Taron was actually happy to be worried about Rebecca. Just her, as he was supposed to, if that Javier guy didn’t bother to enter what wasn’t his business at all. “I just feel weird, like, there’s something off, but I can’t tell what it is,” Rebecca said with a huge frown on her face before looking up to point at Taron. “don’t call me a Casandra, or I’ll hit you.” “Okay, violent!” Taron raised his hands in mock surrender. “You do know that I would never say that about
"Taron, I love you." Rebecca said, and just then, Taron knew that something was wrong. But what was going on was what he didn’t know. "Becca? Are you okay? What's going on?" Taron asked frantically. "Rebecca, where are you?" He sat on the edge of the road, mad at himself for letting her go by herself, he should have followed her! She had told him that things felt weird, and that she was feeling a negative vibe, but he didn’t listen. “Have you seen her yet?” Anthony asked as he walked towards him. “I can’t believe that I let her go like that, j should have done something!” Taron exclaimed. Don’t be an idiot, boy, you could not have known that this was going to happen, your mother even wanted to come, but I didn’t let her, felt that she would slow the whole thing down.” Anthony said and walked away from Taron to join in. It was as if Taron’s mind had clicked just then, and he got up, screaming Rebecca’s name as he ran across the road frantically. Anthony held him tigh
“Sarah, hold up! I’ve been trying to call you!” Selena yelled as she got out of her car. “What is it?” Sarah turned back to look at her friend. Well, Selena used to be her friend. “What is with the cold attitude?” Selena asked. “What do you mean? We have not been in contact for months now, and you’re asking me that? Do you even care about what is going on in my life? Do you even know what I’ve been through recently?” Sarah asked. “Well, no, you didn’t exactly call to tell me.” Selena said, and Sarah looked around in exasperation. “Yeah, exactly! I always have to call or initiate whatever contact we make, while you just sit there! You are a terrible person to everyone you know.” Sarah said. “But I have always helped you, and—” Sarah cut Selena off. “So? That doesn’t matter!” Sarah started to raise her voice. “I am always here for you whenever you need help! In fact, I have helped you more times than you have ever helped me, so you don’t get to use that as an exc
