The Unveiling Of The Rejected Son-in-law PROMISE TO SIGN AN OATH
"I hope it isn't what I'm thinking." Mrs Allison stood up from her seat, facing Michael. "I need to call your father," Mrs Allison said. She moved close to the stairs and tried calling her husband, who was still upstairs. "Sweetheart, Sweetheart! Can you please come downstairs very quickly?!" Mrs Allison said. When Mr Allison heard his wife's voice, he rushed over to the stairs. "Is there any problem? Why the sudden call?" Mr Allison asked as he rushed down the stairs."Michael just came in now. And guess what he told me. He said he found out that it is Jakes who owns 'The Legends,'" Mrs Allison said. "How can Jakes own The Legends? Why will you believe what this...this...wicked liar tells you? You should know your son better by now," Mr Allison said. Since Michael returned from Kopral city, Mr Allison had found it so difficult to trust him."I don't think he is lying. This sounds very true. He says Jakes inherited the company from his father," Mrs Allison said. "What father are you r
The Unveiling Of The Rejected Son-in-law THE NEW CEO
It was another day of work at "The Legends." That was the day a new CEO would be taking over from Jakes. A board meeting was supposed to be held at 1 pm. And everyone at "The Legends" was eager to know who would become the new CEO of the company.Jakes had begun to tidy his desk in preparation for the board meeting. He put aside some of the documents he intended to hand over to the new CEO. And he placed every one of his belongings in a small bag. After a while of busying himself with necessary filings, he looked up at the wall clock in his office. "Oh, it's already 12:52 pm," Jakes told himself. He was surprised to see that the time was far spent. He quickly picked up his phone and a file and walked out of his office into the conference room.The room was occupied by other board members. Everyone was seated calmly and expectantly waiting for the meeting to begin. Not too long, Pa Drakes walked into the room and walked straight to the front to sit down. "Good day everyone. You're all
The Unveiling Of The Rejected Son-in-law PLAN TO BRING IT DOWN
It was a new day at "The Legends". Logan Drakes had resumed as the CEO of the company, and Pa Drakes had handed over the other companies to Jakes, so he and Stephanie no longer worked at "The Legends", but were now overseeing the other companies Jakes's father left behind, both in Fitbuck and outside.On Logan's first day of work at the company, most of the staff greeted him cheerfully. He shook hands with some of them before entering the elevator up to his office. Some of the staff were happy to have him as their CEO, while others hated him believing he was a total stranger who manoeuvred his way into becoming the CEO. As soon as Logan arrived at his office, he flipped through the documents on his table and scheduled for the day. He began to sign some of the documents he needed to sign when he heard a knock on his door. " Come in, please," Logan said, as he continued to attend to the documents on his table. The door was pushed open and a tall-looking young man walked in. "Good day, S
The Unveiling Of The Rejected Son-in-law THE ASSISTANT
Jakes had put Stephanie in charge of one of the big companies in Fitbuck city, Pen and Rescue Inc. During the little time Stephanie spent at "The Legends" with Jakes, she gained a whole lot, coupled with the previous experiences she had with the two other companies she worked with. "Pen and Rescue Inc." was a well-known company in Fitbuck which had an avalanche of thoroughly bred staff. After work on Monday, Stephanie arrived home after picking Gerald up from school, so she met Jakes at home. In the last few weeks, Jakes had taken up the extra responsibility of overseeing his father's other investments since Pa Drakes handed them over to him. The investments had a central account where the profits entered, and the money in the central account was close to a billion dollars.With the profit coming in from the company, Jakes had begun to have more investments. "Hi, love," Jakes said as soon as he saw his wife. Stephanie looked a little exhausted. "Hi." Stephanie managed to respond, as
The Unveiling Of The Rejected Son-in-law MICHAEL'S RETURN
"And which of the companies do you intend to give him?" Stephanie asked. "'Surety Alliance,' here in Fitbuck city," Jakes replied. Pa Drakes had taken his time to drive Jakes and Stephanie around Fitbuck city to show them all of Jakes's father's investments in the city. He had also told them the names of each investment, and they had kept them in mind.Amongst the companies which Pa Drakes showed Jakes, he could never have imagined that some of them belonged to his father, if Pa Drakes had not shown them to him, because some were not popularly known, and he didn't know that they ever existed.During the previous week, Pa Drakes had taken Jakes and Stephanie on a tour outside Fitbuck city to show them the other companies Jakes's father owned. So Jakes and Stephanie were fully intimated of all the companies and investments Jakes's father had left behind. "Surety Alliance is okay. I'm sure he'll appreciate it," Stephanie said. "Well, I pray he does. I decided to give him that company be
The Unveiling Of The Rejected Son-in-law THE KIND GESTURE
Rose looked for a place to sit while waiting for the meeting to be over. Michael was a bit distracted by her presence, even though he tried to be focused. After speaking for some more time, he ended the meeting and instructed every staff to return to their offices and resume work. Then he held Rose by her left wrist and led her down to his office. "What are you doing here? Did you miss your way or what?" Michael asked Rose in bewilderment. He was surprised to see her at "The Class of Verity" during working hours. "I came here because I noticed that you haven't called or asked after me in a long while, even though you know that I'm carrying your baby. "So, what's the big deal about you carrying my baby? Your pregnancy is an unwanted one. No one planned to have it, but you, and you expect me to keep up with you, because of it? No way. I'm not interested in you, or your unborn child," Michael said firmly."How dare you say that to me? Even if you say you aren't interested in me, what ab
The Unveiling Of The Rejected Son-in-law THE FINAL PROCESS
After Jakes had been able to see Pa Drakes and given "Surety Alliance" to him, he decided to go on his proposed trip to check on the other companies outside Fitbuck city, which he owned. The other cities where the other companies were were not very far from each other; this made it easy for Jakes. Even though he could not visit all the companies in a day, he planned to visit them within a week.Lucas had accompanied Jakes for the trip, as his assistant, so he was also privileged to visit all the places Jakes went to. He adhered to all instructions given to him by Jakes, making it easy for Jakes to inspect most of the investments within a short time. On one of their numerous trips, Jakes led Lucas into one of the big companies he owned, and Lucas looked around the company in awe."My goodness! Never knew that a bigger company than 'The Legends', ever existed. This man is stinkingly rich," Lucas thought to himself as he looked around the gigantic building. "I must tell John about my exp
The Unveiling Of The Rejected Son-in-law THE SECRET
It was a Wednesday morning, and Michael had resumed work at "The Class of Verity". He arrived at work on time, and always made sure that any staff that arrived late to work was being queried. In the previous month that Michael resumed as the CEO of "The Class of Verity", he had implemented new things into the company which made the staff fall in love with his administration.However, since the new week began, the staff noticed certain changes in Michael which surprised them. Just in two days, he had sacked three staff for mistakes that the others believed were minor. So everyone became very careful, especially while dealing with him so that they wouldn't lose their jobs.Michael was in his office checking through some files when he noticed something. "But why is this file on my table?" Michael asked himself, then he began to dial a number. "Hello. Please, come over to my office immediately," Micheal instructed, and then he dropped the phone. Within a short while, he had his door make

SOMETHING NEW
As the night grew darker and silence settled over the house, Michael found himself restlessly pacing in his room. He couldn't shake off the nagging feeling that something was amiss. The house was eerily quiet, save for the occasional creaks and whispers carried by the wind outside. Nora had packed out of the house a day before after showing her disinterest in the wedding.
