When Mrs Allison found out that Michael was arrested by the police, she decided to do everything in her power to make sure that he was released on bail. In recent days, she had fought with her husband about giving their son over to the police to be arrested. Mr Allison wanted Michael to appear in court or at least repay all that he had stolen from 'The Class of Verity' to be granted bail. When Mrs Allison heard her husband's options, she was determined to make Micheal do the latter in order not to end up in prison in the long run.On one of her visits to Michael, she had a heart-to-heart discussion with him. "You have to return all that you owe 'The Class of Verity' in order not to be taken to court," Mrs Allison told her son. "Mum, I know that I lied in the first instance. I did that because no one will believe why I diverted the company's funds into my account during that time, but I did it for genuine reasons. There were certain projects the company was to embark upon during a par
Mr Allison refused his wife's plea to place Michael on bail, so she decided to go through every means possible to make Mr Allison dance to her tune. She stayed distant from him for days and hardly ate any food. When Mr Allison noticed that his wife's countenance had been dull in recent days, he decided to find out what was wrong."Hi, dear. Why have you been of a sad countenance in the last few days? What's wrong?" Mr Allison asked his wife. "I'm not happy that Micheal is still in police custody without any opportunity to be granted bail. I've decided to pay the money he owns 'The Class of Verity'", Mrs Allison said. On hearing this, Mr Allison kept silent for a while, not sure of what to say. He loved his wife, and he loved to hurt her. But it was obvious that what she was asking him for was something difficult. He stared at her for a while before speaking. "Alright, he'll be released on bail, so you don't need to bother yourself about paying the money he owes the company," Mr Alli
Now that Michael had returned from police custody and had been relieved of his job at "The Class of Verity", he felt very frustrated and desperate. He needed a source of income that would be at least equivalent to what he was receiving as salary at "The Class of Verity." He thought of what he stood to gain if he owned "The Legends," and how he could fulfil his final plans of killing Jakes. However, he felt it would be a foolish thing for him to kill Jakes since there was no way he could own 'The Legends" without his influence.He made up his mind that he was going to see Jakes anytime soon to actualise his plans. Logan had sent Jakes's house address to him. Logan was able to get the address from one of the staff at "The Legends" who knew where Jakes lived. Michael knew that Jakes would return to his house in the evening, so he decided to go and visit him when he arrived home. He carefully looked at Jakes's address and made his way to his house as soon as he saw that it was 5 pm. He tr
"I don't get you. What do you mean by that?" Jakes asked Michael, wanting him to repeat himself. He wasn't sure of what he just heard. "I will like to work at 'The Legends,'"Michael tried to repeat himself. " You can't be serious. What about 'The Class of Verity?' The last time I checked, I noticed that you are the CEO of "The Class of Verity". So why...I don't understand..." Jakes said looking at Michael in surprise, expecting him to say something."Yes. I used to be the CEO of 'The Class of Verity', but my father disowned and sacked me, the moment he found out that I got married to someone from a poor family; a family that isn't as comfortable as ours," Michael said. Jakes was surprised that Michael had the guts to walk up to tell him to give him a job, and could even mention that his family disowned him because he got married to a lady from a poor background. "Does this man think at all?" Jakes thought to himself, as Michael sat before him. "Hmmm..." Jakes remarked without utterin
Elsie had returned from her travel and her mother informed Mrs Allison about her return, so they fixed a time for her and Michael to see, without Michael's knowledge. Mrs Cole arrived from work that afternoon and decided to call her friend to remind her of the meeting between her daughter and Michael later that evening. "Hello, darling. How are you today?" Mrs Cole asked Mrs Allison over the phone. "I'm cool. Thank you," Mrs Allison responded. "I hope you haven't forgotten the meeting between our children which is to take place later today," Mrs Cole asked. "Of course, I haven't forgotten. I can't be too busy to forget such. I'm so desperate to make sure Michael has nothing to do with that fool, Rose." Mrs Allison said."Wow. That sounds interesting. I' be expecting the both of you later this evening," Mrs Cole said as she hung up on the phone. Mrs Allison hadn't given Michael details about the meeting. She only told him that there was a friend the both of them needed to see later th
"Well, let me give a brief biography of myself. I'm 26 years old. I studied Business Development at the University, and I've been a CEO for well over seven years now," Michael said, then he paused for a while. "What if she finds out that I was sacked as the CEO of 'The Class of Verity'? Oh, I shouldn't have told her that I've been a CEO," Michael regretted himself. He was afraid that Elsie could try to probe further in getting more facts about him being a CEO, and he didn't want her to ask him any questions about that."Wow! So you have been a CEO for over seven years now? That sounds interesting. I envy you... So tell me, what company do you work for?" Elsie asked Michael, with eagerness in her eyes. She knew Michael was from a comfortable home, and her mother once told her that Michael was the CEO of a company, but she never told her how many years Michael had spent being a CEO, or what company he presided on as a CEO. Michael could tell that Elsie would try to probe further, so h
"Never knew he was serious. Thought it was a joke," Michael told Logan. "He's such an idiot. I couldn't resist his instructions because I would be on the verge of losing my job, so I had to succumb. However, never mind. Now that you're here, it'll be easier for us to achieve our plans," Logan said. "Sure, I can't wait to start doing something about it," Michael smirked. Now that he was made an ordinary business support person, he hated Jakes more and was ready to do all in his power to take over the company from him, with Logan's joint effort. "The thing is, if we're not able to take over this company from that fool, I'll make sure we burn it down. Yes, we will. I mean what I'm talking about," Micheal said, angrily. "Hahaha..." Logan laughed out loud. "But you're going too far, you know. It isn't up to that," Logan said. "It's much more than that. It is," Michael said with a frown on his face. "Well, I have to leave now. I've been asked to resume work tomorrow morning. That idiot
Rose had arrived home after the day's work. She received a call from her mother earlier that day, reminding her about the money she promised to send so that their family could relocate to a better house. Rose had always promised to relocate them, all this while, but she diverted the money to her personal needs. Now, she was ready to fulfil her promise, but she no longer had the means. She had spent all the money she withdrew from Michael's account, and nothing was left, except the salary she received from "Turners and Associates" for the month. She lay Curtis, who was asleep, in his cot, while she sat down on the bed beside him. She never expected that things would turn out to be what it was. Just when she thought that she now had to assess money from 'The Class of Verity', everything became history. She began to feel bitter against Michael for not being very smart. While she was still thinking, she heard some footsteps approaching the door. "It must be him," Rose thought to herse
