Albert had resumed fully at work. He went to Lucifer's mansion several times but he was denied access to the house, so the manager advised him to focus on the company. He told him that his father would see him when he got healed.He just got settled in his office when he heard a knock on the door, “ Come in” he raised his voice for the person outside the door to hear him The door cracked open and a beautiful slim woman stepped in. If Albert wasn't in a serious relationship with Joy, he would have made an advance at the lady. The lady was Joan, his new secretary.“ Good morning sir. There is a man at the reception looking for you. He said his name is Adrian.” The lady revealed.At the sound of the name, something clicked in Albert's brain but he did express it on his face. “ I don't think I have ever heard of such a name before, Xavier might know him though. Please inform Xavier about the man’s presence, I'm sure he would give me the feedback.” The plan to crush Jeffrey Robinson was
“Are you saying that little brat suspected something fishy? After I already signed the transfer of ownership documents he brought with his lawyer, he still hasn't had any trust in me? Are you sure he told you to seek my permission before embarking on this project?” Lucifer questioned Xavier.Immediately after closing time, Xavier went to report the day’s activities to Lucifer, as suspected by Albert. Lucifer sat gloriously in his living room with an artificial arm placed on his amputated shoulder. The artificial arm was crafted in a way that it would take a close proximity for someone to detect it's fake.After checking the documents and hearing Xavier's report, he was still baffled that Albert hadn't trusted him. He made him his heir just to earn his trust and manipulated him, but it seemed his plans weren't working in his favor.“ He told me he knew I would report to you, so I should give him the feedback tomorrow. How he knew he was an interim CEO is still unknown to me” Xavier sai
“ My father wanted me to decide the amount to invest in this project? That's strange. Anyways, I can't think of a specific amount now, how about you give me a suggestion?” Albert knew Lucifer was trying to play him, so he tactically threw it back to Xavier to decide.Xavier watched Albert carefully for a few seconds, ‘ What is going through this brat head? Why didn't he think of something? Well, I will teach him a lesson. Let's see if he would agree with this suggestion” he thought “ Xavier! I asked you something” Albert shouted to gain back his attention when he noticed he was lost in thought “ Oh sorry sir. We need a substantial amount for this project and if we pull it from the Company's fund, it might wreck the company totally and this will chase away our remaining investors. I don't want us to disappoint our investors, so I suggest we use the company as a collateral to borrow money from the bank. Then after the oil and gas company gains ground, we can refund the money back to t
“ Good morning Mr Albert, Adrian and his team are waiting for us downstairs. Shall we go now?” Albert closed his laptop and he smiled, “Sure, let's go”Although he didn't know what Alex and Lucas's plan was, he still put his trust in them. Xavier and Albert drove in Albert's car. They followed Adrian’s car , then he led them to the Oil grill location.“ This will be your first project as the CEO of Robinson's Company, your father will be very proud of you” Albert looked at Xavier and he shook his head, “ I wouldn't want to take all the compliments and the glory, because most of the work was done by you. Robinson's Company is very lucky to have a dedicated manager like you, keep it up.”Adrian’s car moved at a high speed because the location of the oil grill was far. They drove for about an hour before they got to a high fence with a gigantic gate at the entrance. This fence encompasses a olarge expanse of land located at the outskirt of the city.Adrian parked his car in front of
“ Goodbye Lucifer!” As Lucifer heard these words from his son, he became furious. He knew he had lost his son forever but he wasn't ready to give up.“ No matter what it takes, I must get this boy to be on my side.” He thought, then he switched his attention back to Xavier, who was still on the phone with him.“ I don't know how you want to do it, but you must get my company back. Use any method possible to regain back my money from those scumbags. If you fail to give me any positive report, I will have your head on a platter” He threatened, then he disconnected the call “ Haa!, This can't be! How could someone successfully dupe me without any stress? Have I lost my power and sense of reasoning because of my lost arm? Why didn't I see this coming? Damn!” He hit his left hand on the wall before he remembered it's an artificial arm.“ Ouch! Shit! Shit! I will never accept defeat. I can't go down like this, I must do something. Justin has to let go of this dark magic by force. Snake! Sn
“ My Joy, in trouble? Wha..what did the caption say?” Albert stammered.“ Okay, let me check…It says; come to this specific location if you want your daughter alive. Failure to do so in the next forty-eight hours, her corpse will be sent to you” “ How did she get captured? She is a great witch for goodness sake, how?” Albert yelled, then he threw his phone across the room.Alex hurried to his side, then he found forced him to sit down.“ You have to calm down. We will think of…” His statement was cut short by Albert's ringing tone.He dashed to pick up the almost shattered phone, but he was met with silence from the other end.“ Hello! Who is this please?” Still with no response, he lost his patience.“ If you can't speak, then get the hell away from me and don't try to call this number ever again” He screamedHis scream sounded like a joke to the caller, as the person bursted into a maniac laugh.“ Hello boy. You sounded so tough earlier on the phone, why is your voice shaking? Is t
Lucas sighed heavily as he got to Rowland's mansion, he didn't know the kind of panel he would face when he entered. After a few seconds, he summoned courage to enter.As he opened the door, he was ambushed by his wife, Justin and Marie. Scared of their thorough questioning, he decided to start explaining himself, “ I'm sorry I didn't come home last night. I was with Alex discussing some important things before I lost the track of time, so I decided to sleep over. Please forgive me for making you worried, guys” he apologized.Lilly rolled her eyes and hissed. Her face was sad and she reluctantly went back to sit as if she wasn't expecting him.Scared that his wife wasn't ready to forgive him, he apologized again. “ Baby, I'm sorry please, this mistake will never repeat itself again”Justin and Marie also went back to their seat silently as his wife. Before he could say another word, Justin's voice stopped him.“ Joy has been kidnapped by Jeffrey and he demanded I come to a specific lo
Alex paced back and forth in his living room, while other family members sat down quietly expecting order from him. He became restless when he hadn't received any call from Lucas. He expected him to have gotten home and heard the situation of Joy's kidnap from his father-in-law, then put a call across to him, but he got nothing.He was running out of patience, because he was the one controlling Albert from jumping out of the house to meet his father.“ Are we still waiting for him? I'm losing my patience already. Don't try to stop me if I step out of this place” Albert shouted.“ Sorry, let me call his wife” Alex dialed Lilly's number, then it was picked instantly. “ Hi Alex, hope nothing is wrong with my husband” Lilly asked, as if she had been expecting his call.Alex was confused and everybody in the room became alert. He increased the volume of his phone for them to hear his conversation with Lilly.“ I don't understand what you are talking about. It's almost three hours since Lu
