The Unveiling Of The Rejected Son-in-law FACING THE GIANT
"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
The Unveiling Of The Rejected Son-in-law THE CONTENTION
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
The Unveiling Of The Rejected Son-in-law BAD NEWS FOR MICHAEL
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
The Unveiling Of The Rejected Son-in-law CONNECTING WITH BRIAN
"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

"Really?!" Then I can't wait to hear it. Can you please go on?" Brian said. "Alright. I need you to work alongside me on something which will not be in the interest of your CEO." Micheal said. Michael chose to start that way so that he could know Brian's mindset towards Jakes."Something which may not be in the interest of my CEO? But why?" Brian asked. "You'll get to know later," Michael replied. "I'm not sure I want to have any deal that will make me rebel against my boss. Jakes Johnson has done nothing deserving of rebellion. I'm sorry, you may just be talking to the wrong person." Brian said."But wait...wait..." Michael said. He wanted to say something more, but he noticed that Brian had hung up on him. Brian was tempted to tell Jakes about it, but he changed his mind. He liked to lead a quiet life, so he wasn't ready to be the one who would start a quarrel between the two CEOs. After the closing of work at 'The Legends,' Brian picked up his belongings and left the office for ho
The Unveiling Of The Rejected Son-in-law WILLING TO TEAM UP AGAINST HIM
On Friday evening, while Brian and his wife, Noda, were relaxing in the lounge, Noda decided to make use of the time to find out more about the call Brian received from Michael. She had been interested in the deal, since the time she heard that it involved thousands of dollars. "So, tell me, sweetheart. Do you know the identity of the CEO who called you yesterday about the shady deal against your boss?" Noda asked."Of course, yes. He introduced himself. He said he is emmm...Micheal Allison the CEO of...The Class of Veterans, oh...no, pardon me. I remember it's "The Class of Verity." Brian replied. "The Class of Verity?" Noda asked to confirm. "Yes," Brian responded. "But why will he want to do something that is not in the interest of another company's CEO? Has he forgotten that he's also a CEO? I'm beginning to rethink. I didn't see it this way before, but now, it sounds like rebellion to me," Noda said, as Brian nodded in response. He was happy that his wife was beginning to see th
The Unveiling Of The Rejected Son-in-law THE QUARREL
"Good. Mr John, I have a deal for you. If you corporate with me, you could just earn yourself thousands of dollars." Michael said. "Please who are you? And what deal is that? Do I even know you?" John asked harshly. He didn't know who was calling or what kind of deal the person talked about. So, he began to suspect that the person calling him was a fraudster. "Oh! Pardon my manners. I haven't even introduced myself." Michael remembered. "I am Michael Allison, the CEO of 'The Class of Verity. I called you because I want us to corporate in bringing your CEO - Jakes Johnson, down!" Michael said firmly. "Hmmm...Really? How do you think you will do that?" John asked wittily. On hearing this, Michael became confused. He began to wonder if he was talking with the right person. "Or did this woman play a fast one on me, just to get my money? This person does not seem to have any interest in working against Jakes. What have I gotten myself into?" Michael asked himself, as he remained silent fo
The Unveiling Of The Rejected Son-in-law THE MEETING
It was a new day at "The Legends." Jakes had resumed work early as usual. He just settled down, when his secretary walked into his office and read out his pinned schedule for the day. When he was done reading them out, he acted like he just remembered something. "That reminds me, I was told that a board meeting will be coming up today," the secretary said."Okay. Thank you. You can now leave." Jakes said as he dismissed his Secretary. "Wow, so the first board meeting with Pa Drakes as the chairman would be held today," Jakes said to himself. Anytime he wasn't invited to meetings like that, he knew that he wasn't expected to be there. Asides from that, he wasn't yet a member of the board.********It was 1 pm, the time fixed for the board meeting at The Legends. Pa Drakes and the other board members were seated together in one of the company's conference rooms.

GET A LIFE
Nora sat across from Michael, her brows furrowed in confusion. She couldn't understand why he was refusing to meet her parents, especially when they had expressed their desire to get to know him.

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.
