"Hmmm...How many months did you say he gave you to pay the money?" Jakes asked. "Five months," Stephanie replied. "But did you find out how much money it is?" Jakes asked Stephanie. "Yes, it's $1000000," Stephanie replied. "$1000000?" Jakes asked. "Yes," Stephanie confirmed. "But how would he expect you as an individual to pay a sum of $1000000 within five months? Not even a year!" Jakes exclaimed."Yes, I was surprised when he gave me such a short time frame. I guess he knew that I won't be able to afford it, and I would have no other option than to return it to him. But he is wrong because I'm not going back to him." Stephanie said, then she paused for a while."But come to think of it, if that money is not paid within five months, "The Class of Verity" will end up being sold. Then our family will be at risk because the Allisons will come for us very strongly this time around. I know what that wicked family of mine can do..." Stephanie said."But why did you agree to a period of fiv
"So, tell me. What's the latest update about Stephanie and Mr Cameron?" Mr Allison asked Michael. He had demanded to see Michael after working hours so that he could know to what extent things have gone. Mr Cameron gave him a limited time, and he was not ready to watch "The Class of Verity" being sold."The two of them are back together, after so much effort on my part.' Michael said. " Wow! That's great news. There is hope that 'The Class of Verity' will not be sold." Mr Allison said."But, have measures been put in place against her escape from his house? There should be a guard to keep watch on her so that she doesn't leave his house." Mr Allison said. "Yes, I agree. I tried to ensure that, but he asked the guard to leave..." Michael said. "Well, there's nothing you can do in that case. Let us hope she stays with him this time around." Mr Allison said as he sipped some coffee from the cup in front of him."We believe that their relationship will benefit the family in the long run,
Jakes had chosen to claim all of his father's investments in Fitbuck city. Pa Drakes had also written every of the other family properties in his name so that all major profits realized from the investments were transferred into his account, while the rest were used in improving the properties and investments.Now that Jakes had opened up to his wife about his true identity, he decided to live very comfortably. He bought a bigger and more expensive house in the very heart of the city, and a brand new car for Stephanie, while he changed his car to one of the latest cars in town. He employed six servants, four chefs, and four drivers who would drive him and his wife to wherever they wanted to go.Since they changed their location, Stephanie began to look out for another nanny. Even though, she wasn't aware of the evil which Ma Elizabeth committed. After Ma Elizabeth was released, Stephanie asked her about how she and Gerald were kidnapped, but Ma Elizabeth lied that the hoodlums bumped
"Would you believe that Stephanie has left Mr Cameron again this time?" Michael told his parents. It was a Saturday, so he decided to visit his parents to tell them about the recent development. When he entered their compound, he met his Dad and Mum standing before one of the cars in the garage, but he could not wait for them to go in, before breaking the news."Again?!" Mr Allison and his wife asked with a frown on their faces. "Yes. One of Mr Cameron's servants gave me this update over the phone." Michael said. "But, why is this girl proving so stubborn?" Mrs Allison asked, looking perturbed. "She has only shown herself as a bastard. No true child of mine will prefer to stay with a pauper. I do not love suffering, and I don't expect any true seed of mine to." Mr Allison said."But don't worry, Dad, Mum. Leave her to me. Now that I have become the company's CEO, I will not watch Mr Cameron sell off the company." Michael said sternly. "But have you heard from Mr Cameron ever since?" M
"It's high time this nonsense stops! He keeps threatening you. I can't take this anymore. He may have threatened me in the past, but he dares not try it again." Jakes told Stephanie. In recent days, Stephanie had received several threatening phone calls from persons whose identities she wasn't sure of. And she was beginning to get scared for her life and baby. Michael had devised several means of threatening Stephanie so that she could return to Mr Cameron. Michael was not only concerned about the company being sold out, but he intended to use the relationship between Stephanie and Mr Cameron in achieving his financial desires. He knew that if Stephanie remained married to Mr Cameron, he could use her influence in getting money from Mr Cameron. So, his desires made him desperate in making sure that Stephanie returned to Mr Cameron."I'm also tired of this. But I don't know how to stop it." Stephanie responded. "I could just go ahead to report to the police. Because he's a criminal! H
Michael followed the Johnsons outside the garden. He made sure that he wasn't very close enough for them to notice his presence. "What?! Am I dreaming?!" Michael soliloquized, the moment he saw Jakes and Stephanie enter a posh car.He closed his eyes for a few seconds and opened them again. Then he moved closer to them. "What's happening here?!" Michael said aloud. He could no longer hide his feelings. He rushed to look closely at the car. He was so surprised; his mouth was open agape. He noticed the driver in front and the servant who sat beside Jakes and Stephanie."I can't believe this!" Micheal remarked as the driver who drove Jakes and Stephanie zoomed off. Then the two cars behind them followed. All this while, Michael thought that the cars behind were some other persons' cars, until he saw the two of them follow Jakes's car very closely as it zoomed off. "Are those cars his, also?" Michael thought to himself. He began to feel very dizzy and confused. "But how? When did all the
Michael began to make every move just to find out about Jakes's new personality. He was desperate to know who Jakes had become, especially his current financial level. So, he decided to go through Gerald's former nanny, Ma Elizabeth. He still had her phone contact, so he decided to find out certain details from her. He picked up his phone and dialled her number. "Hello." "Hello, who am I speaking with?" Ma Elizabeth asked. She didn't have Michael's contact stored on her phone."This is Michael, Stephanie Johnson's brother. Do you remember that name?" Michael said. Ma Elizabeth was shocked when she heard Michael's name. She wondered if his call meant well, this time. "Of course, I do. How may I help you?" Ma Elizabeth asked. "I'm calling because I need some information from you," Michael said. "Alright. Go on, I'm listening." Ma Elizabeth said. "What do you know about Jakes Johnson?" Michael asked. "Well. I don't know much about him. All I can say is that he is the husband of Stephani
"How on earth will Jakes be made the CEO of a big company such as 'The Legends'? Aaah... This is bad news." Mrs Allison told Michael. Michael had called his Mum to inform her."It's truly bad news, Mum. I'll make sure I go to any length to destroy him. I'll bring him down to where he belongs. He deserves nothing but a low life..." Michael said bitterly. "He must have manoeuvred his way to get there. Just don't know how it happened." Mrs Allison said, feeling pained. "Don't worry, we'll find a way around this, Mum," Michael promised as he hung up the phone.********After the close of work, Michael drove down to Mr Cameron's house. He had called him earlier to inform him about his coming. On getting there, he got down from his car and saw Mr Cameron from a distance. He was lounging beside the pool in his compound, so Michael walked up to him and greeted him. Then they sat down together beside the pool. "So why are you here?" Mr Cameron asked Michael."I heard that Stephanie had left ag
