"Hello, Stephanie," a female voice spoke at the other end. "Who am I speaking with, please?" Stephanie asked. "It's your Mum. Stephanie, I know that I've caused you a lot of pain in the past, so I called to apologize for all my wrongs doings," Mrs Allison told her daughter. Stephanie was surprised at what she was hearing. She looked at her phone screen and placed it back beside her left ear in bewilderment. She was surprised that her Mum was calling to apologize to her.She hadn't heard from her in a long while. Asides from that, she wasn't expecting to receive her phone call. Now, she was confused about what to say to her Mum, so she remained mute. "Stephanie, are you still there? Okay, I understand that you have every right to be mad at me after all that I have caused. I'm sorry, dear. I'm no longer the same old person you used to know. I'm a changed person now," Mrs Allison said."Okay, Mum. I've heard you. What do you want from me?" Stephanie asked directly. She was not ready to
"Hello, Jakes," said the male voice. "Hello," Jakes responded coldly. He was not sure who was speaking with him over the phone. "So you think you can lie to me and go away with it? Right?" The voice asked. "I don't get what you're saying. By the way, who am I speaking with?" Jakes asked. "This is Smith Johnson. You pretended as if your father only transferred two companies to you. Do you think I wouldn't find out the truth? Your father transferred twenty-five companies to you, and you pretended as if it was only two companies he transferred. You're such a useless liar!" Mr Smith said in anger. Jakes was surprised at how Mr Smith was able to find out. All this while, he didn't see any reason to tell Mr Smith about how many companies his father transferred to him. He could sense that Mr Smith was envious and greedy, so there was no need to tell him about the number of companies he had in his care. "You only talked about the two companies, and I didn't see any necessary reason to gi
"I hope nothing is the matter. Why is he looking at me with so much disdain?" Stephanie asked herself as she sat at her in the dining. "Stephanie, why are you looking bothered? It's time to eat, dear," Mrs Allison told her daughter. Stephanie was about to eat, but when she looked up at her father who was still staring at her, she lost her appetite. To Stephanie, her father's stare was not a friendly one. She stood from her seat and walked into the sitting room. "Stephanie, what's the matter? Why did you leave the dining? Aren't you going to eat?" Mrs Allison asked as she followed Stephanie to the sitting room. "No, I'm fine. Amm...you can cover the food. I could go back to eat it later," Stephanie told her Mum."But, how is that possible? You don't live here but only came here for dinner. So why don't you go and eat, dear?" Mrs Allison tried to convince her daughter, but Stephanie insisted. She didn't like the way her Dad looked at her at the dining, and this made her feel uncomfo
Logan was still the CEO of 'The Legends.' In the initial stage, Michael planned to work with Logan to destroy the company, but along the way, Michael lost interest in working at "The Legends" as a junior staff, so he made an excuse to the authorities that he was relocating out of the country so that he could take good care of his health. Now that Michael had been sacked at Spiral Bolts, he thought of how he could find his way back into "The Legends" for the time being. He picked up his phone and dialled a number. Within a short while, the phone was picked up at the other end. "Hey, Mike! It's been like a century. How have you been?" Logan asked as soon as he picked up the call."I'm good, guy. And you?" Michael responded. "I'm good too. Logan replied. "I called to seek a favour from you. I would love to return to work at 'The Legends', but as a senior staff this time around," Michael said. "Really?!" Logan asked and burst into laughter. Michael was a little embarrassed by Logan's
Taylor had decided to report to the police about how Rose ensured that Curtis was admitted to the hospital; and the role the hospital played in keeping Curtis with them, just in a bid to exploit him."Please, don't do it. Please," Rose begged Taylor who was trying to wear his T-shirt. Taylor had tried to send Rose out of his house in the last two days, but Rose was reluctant to leave. When he threatened to call the security men against her, she would pretend to leave, and then return. He had used other means to make sure that Rose left his house, but she seemed to remain stubborn."Rose, I have told you to leave my house since two days ago, but you refused to. Do you know how much I hate you?! Seeing you each day irritates me, and I don't think I want to live with you," Taylor said. "I'm sorry, Taylor. I'm sorry. Michael was my first boyfriend and I knew that if I told you that I had a child for him, you wouldn't want to marry me. I'm sorry..." "You know what, saying all that irrit
Bob and Dylan had believed that Todd would influence his father in paying part of the company's revenue into the account Bob gave to Todd the other day. They were surprised that ever since Bob gave Todd the account details, the account had not been credited by Mr Smith. Bob was the man Todd saw wearing a mask and standing beside his car one evening; he was the one who threatened Todd to ask his father to send part of Pen and Rescue's revenue into an account monthly."We've resigned from work for up to a month now, and the jobs we've been able to find since then have been nothing but low-status jobs. We cannot continue to sit and watch the Johnsons' family treat us this way. We must do something very quickly," Dylan said."Yes, Dylan. We must," Bob responded. While the both of them were still deliberating on what to do next, Bob broke the silence. "I think I know what to do," Bob told his brother, and then he whispered something into his ears. Dylan nodded at what his brother had w
Mr Allison had to fill in the position of CEO at "The Class of Verity" since nobody was willing to take up that position. It had spread like wildfire around Fitbuck city that all the previous CEOs of 'The Class of Verity' were attacked by assassins, except for Mr Allison's children and the previous CEO whose child was kidnapped. Because of this, some people believed that Mr Allison and his wife had a hand in the death of the CEOs who died. "Why were his children not attacked while they held the position? That man and his wife must be suspects," some people said. People's gossip was getting to Mr and Mrs Allison, and to them, it was a bitter pill to swallow; so Mrs Allison told her husband one Thursday afternoon. "I think we should just report Stephanie to the police since she's a primary suspect in Marvin's death," Mrs Allison said. "How do you mean? There's no evidence to show that it was Stephanie who killed Marvin. And even if we say that she was the one who killed Marvin, wh
Todd went to visit his father during the weekend."Dad, I just think you should send some of the company's revenue to that account to avoid further harassment," Todd told his Dad. "No, Todd. I do not agree with you. I'm sure the police will fish out whoever is behind this. So there's no cause for alarm," Mr Smith said. "I understand, Dad. But up till now, the culprits are yet to be found. That's the more reason why I think we should tread carefully," Todd advised.On hearing this, Mr Smith sighed and there was a brief moment of silence between the two before he spoke up. "Are you trying to say that I should send part of the company's revenue to some stranger I do not know of?" Mr Smith asked, looking at his son in bewilderment. "Yes, Dad. Yes, if sending it will avoid regrets..." "Don't be a coward, son," Mr Smith interrupted. "I'm not a coward, Dad! I'm only doing this for my safety and...yours too.What if they attack you, just because you refused to yield to their demands?" Tod
