Alaric was working in his office when he heard his personal phone ringing. “Hello grandfather” “ Alaric there will be a family dinner tomorrow at the family mansion, do well to attend.” “Grandfather those people despise me why should I be there.” “Alaric since you inherited the family business you have not paid a visit to the family. You should be there for them to know you and for you to know them.” “ And what will they gain if they know me”. “Alaric!!’’ “Alright I will be there. “What is my next schedule?” he asked Fredrick “Sir a meeting with Mr. Daniel at Jimmy’s hotel.” “Alright to the hotel. Has Steve called you?” “Yes sir , he said they will be coming tomorrow.” “Alright.”Steve, Alaric and two others have been friends since childhood. They went to the same high school and furthered their education at the same university. Alaric lost contact with them after his parents death. He decided to hide from his friends due to his situation. He didn’t want to be a burden t
Alaric was going on a business trip. On the way to the trip, his car suddenly stopped moving. The car has been sabotage. “What’s happening.” he asked Fredrick.“Sir the car is not moving. Please let’s move to the next car.”Due to the last incident, Alaric took six cars with him. There were three guards in each car. Alaric got down to join the next car. He realized the environment was a little bit strange. He can sense a hot gaze behind him, he look around if he could find where he is been watched but he couldn’t find anything. “Sir watch out!!!” Fredrick shouted. He instinctively bend down, the bullet flew over his head. The enemies were hiding in the dark whilst Alaric and his men in an open space. “Shit”. He cursed and instructed his men to look around the bush. Bullet were still flying, the situation were getting out of hands. His men were able to locate some of the gangsters. They continue firing at each other. Not long after they have defeated the gangster, a speedy t
“Grandfather, am I also not your grand daughter? Ava pouted like a spoiled child."Your time is over. You are now a mother, stop acting like a spoiled brat. He turn to his great grandson and said you are Raymond right and you are Raymonda.” “Yes great-grandfather,” Raymond said in an adorable voice but Raymonda only gave him a nod. “Enn why is the boy playful and the girl is so cold. She is like the whole world owes her?” " Grandfather that’s how Raymonda is , she is a child of few words and always pulling on that long face." “How is she going to get a husband in the near future if she continues like this.” "Dad how can you say that , she is only five years, why speak of marriage at this age. She is beautiful and adorable.” “Grandfather why is your hair white in color, are you from different world?" Raymond asked innocently. Raymonda looked at her twin brother and shook her head, " dummy can’t you see grandfather is old, people hair turn gray when they grow old." "So my h
Mandi went to Alaric’s company to Alaric’s company early in the morning. She took her son’s picture with her. Since she has already been here, she went straight to the office. Fredrick wasn’t around so there was no one to stop her. “Alaric”, she called her excitedly. “Didn’t I feel you not to step foot here again?” “Calm down dear, she tried to draw closer to him but recalled the last incident and stopped half way. Don’t you miss me. You know you can never get rid of me, I’m still your baby mama and you can’t change that fact.” “I told am not going to accept that child.” “Well he has already been born. Just take a look at these pictures, isn’t he adorable. She showed him the picture. You know the child is innocent and I bet you wouldn’t want your child to go through what you went. Don’t be surprised , I have investigated and known why your parent fled for their lives and it was because both side were enemies. “Do you want history to repeat itself.” Alaric was in a deep
“Mr. Alaric, the fact that you are rich doesn’t mean you should waste my time. My time is precious, to me every second is money, I can’t waste it.” Ava said seriously and look at her wrist watch impatiently. “Miss Ava, my time is more precious than you. You have wasted it, you need to compensate me, he said shamelessly “So shameless. I have nothing to compensate, if you are aren’t going to sign the deal then am off to. I have no time to pamper you.” “So impatient, Miss Ava, you will loose many opportunities if you continue to act this way.” “That is not your concern Mr. Alaric, I don’t need to lick any one’s boot. The Williams family is not poor.” “Interesting. He suddenly became serious. I heard you are very good in designing clothes. I want to you to design a brand. It main target are teenagers, I wouldn’t want it to be too classy. It should be a dress every teenager can afford but it shouldn’t be too cheap. Miss Ava I know you are good at your job. Don’t disappoint me.” "
Mandi went to eat with her friends, she saw Alaric coming out with a lady. Looking at how they were acting, they looked like lovers. She clenched her fist and stare at them. She was lost in thought. “Mandi isn't he Alaric why is he with a lady? Didn’t you say you are his girlfriend, has he dump you?” “He hasn’t dump me, the woman is his client, I already knows he will be meeting with her today. Don't let your mind run wild. Lets go don't waste my time with your question." “Mandi won’t you say hi to him? That’s what lover’s should do.” “I slept and woke up with him this morning, why should I say hi to him? He also needs his privacy. No need to say hi to him, she lied through her teeth. “Who is that witch and what is she to him. I haven’t get this chance. I have to investigate who she is. No one can take Alaric away from me, nobody on this Earth.” She thought to herself Ava has been driving her car on her own. She doesn’t like people following her everywhere and there. She is li
“Miss Ava isn’t it time to compensate me?” “This man is very shameless, why does people think so highly of him?” she murmured. “Mr. Alaric how can you say such words smoothly. Aren’t you ashamed to dine in a lady's house?” “Miss Ava do you have a short memory? Do I need to remind you again you owe me a compensation? If it weren’t for you, I would have been in my house and I would have done with my supper already.” Ava thought about it and realized it was indeed her fault. She told him to come in unwillingly. “Miss Ava I thought you lived with your family?” “Am an adult no need to burden them.” She answered him coldly.Alaric looked around Ava's house and nodded. “Beautiful uncle, are you going to live with us.” “No he is not living with us”. “Beautiful uncle you are very handsome, why not be my daddy?” “Raymond!!!” “Mom you are too fierce, it will be hard to get a daddy that is why I have taken this job upon myself.”“Raymond shut up.” Am not in need of man. Do you lack any
Mandi has been thinking about the lady who was with Alaric. She picked her phone and dialed a number. “Kendrick do you have update on the job I gave you?” “Am sorry Miss Mandi, I haven’t gotten any vivid information about her, just her name.” “From your finding I guess after all she is no important person but just a commoner.” She was relief because she believes Ava is a nobody. She called her friends and asked them out. They went to Y.P mall. Mandi was going through the dresses when her eyes fell on a familiar person. She recalled it was Ava. She dashed forward without a second thought. With the help of Alaric, Mandi has risen to fame within half a year. “Miss Mandi please were you able to find any dress of your choice?” the clerk asked her.“Yes I want the one she is holding”. “Sorry miss, this dress is a single dress and the lady here had already chosen it, please find another one.” “I said I want her dress, why should I find another one, am not blind and dump. I know there
