“If you’re in this room and you still have plans of going after my heir, think again, because I will come for you and I will come for you hard. “If you hurt my family, I would not care who you are, I will hurt you ten times more and make sure you regret that dumb decision.”The crowd had their eyes down while he spoke. His words were threats which they knew the man could carry out if he wanted to do so.“Take out your phones,” he ordered as they all did so. “Delete the video which you all watched.”“I-it wasn’t s-saved in our phones, Sir,” someone stuttered.“And let’s keep it that way. This is a grave warning to you all, never let that video leave this room, do you hear me?”They all agreed as he walked out of the meeting, banging the glass door with so much force, some parts of the door chipped away.***When Damien had gone out of the room, everyone knew that the meeting was instantly over.Tom came forward with clasped hands as he looked to the audience, “The meeting has been adj
Richardson paced about the room with his mind going through a lot as he thought about the video which had broken through the board meeting during that day.He was trying to figure out who was behind the video. The last time he had gotten an embarrassing moment like this, he had known Michael and Alice to be behind it. For this one, he had no idea who the person was.“Master Richardson you need to breathe and relax,” Tom suggested as he watched his young master pace around the room in worry.“I’m trying to know who would want me down.”“You act like everyone isn’t after you,” chuckled Tom. “You can blame Damien’s brother or his children. You can blame some of your cousins and their fathers. You can also blame the workers in the company you fired.”“You might have a point,” Richardson interrupted, picking up on the clue before him. “What if it was Alice and Michael this time?”“Who?” Tom asked not believing he knew who they were.“You know,” explained Richardson in frustration. “The man
“Hello,” Richardson smiled when he entered the restaurant to see Jennie already seated at the table. “I’m sorry for being terribly late.”“Work?” she smiled at him as he dropped his jacket on the back of the chair, settling into it.“Traffic,” he corrected. This was the distraction he needed to get his mind off work and the murder which had occurred the other day. He was still shaken but he had to move forward instead of dwelling on the past.“You look… different,” she noted. “Is anything the matter?”He could not tell her about work or what had happened with the mafia. Everything ate him up inside for the only one who knew about them both was Tom. It was none of her concern he thought to himself.“I’m stressed out. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine.”“Well isn’t it Richardson?” someone laughed as Richardson turned to see who had called him out. It was Fred, a bully from college.“Hello Fred,” the heir responded with a bored expression on his face. He looked over at the man to see hi
The dinner date they were having started to take a pleasant turn as they had so much fun talking about the funny things they had had in their life together.Jennie could see how well the date was going and she knew this was her chance to ask some of the questions which bothered her. It was now or never with the man before her. She had to do it now.“Hey, I’ve been thinking,” she started while swirling the spaghetti in her plate around with her fork. “I haven’t seen you around any woman that isn’t me or Mary. I was thinking if you were having something serious with anyone.”He shook his head, drinking from his cup, “Nope. I’m not seeing anyone at the moment. I’m as single as they come.”“So are you going to see anyone soon? You know, for something serious like dating or…”“I don’t want to have anything serious now. I’m not ready for that.” He sighed at his harsh response. “I’m sorry. I’ve just had a hard time after breaking up with Alice, that is all. I’m not ready to have anything ser
Immediately Jennie entered her house, she dropped her bag into the couch in anger. She had not expected the date she had had with Richardson to go south so fast. She had expected that he would be more accommodating to her needs and not push them aside or play dumb but instead he had done exactly those.She had planned to bring up the topic of her and Richardson getting married only for him to squash her hopes that way.How could he do that to her? After all she had done for him, how could he do that?She had been there for him during his family gathering. She had been there for him when he was in need. She had helped him get back on his emotional feet when he needed someone to talk to but somehow when it was her turn he had turned her down. He was really not being a friend in need. This was supposed to be about her getting rich and not about her being used as an escape way for him.What did he mean by if she was in a relationship, he would get someone else and pay her? Was he out o
Michael drove through the country lands with a country song playing in his car radio. He didn’t want to change it as it was nostalgic to him.He remembered his last altercation with Alice and it got him in a bad mood.She had changed. She was no longer the woman he used to know. She was different these days and it hurt to admit it. He wondered if she was seeing someone and knew it was not far from what she was capable of doing.She was attracted to money and wealth. He used to have it before but he didn’t know what happened and how he was getting poor.He used to be at the top, now he’s barely able to keep most of the things he had.His father had threatened him over and over again about how he was running the company but yet he had not listened but spent so much money on Alice to make her happy and love him even more.It had not been enough for the woman. She was a leech as she wanted more. Nothing was ever enough for her.He got close to the land, pulling up through the driveway as
“Shall we go ahead with the company contracts?” the man stated, settling into his seat with Michael’s parents joining him.He opened his briefcase to bring out some files which he handed to the man and the woman.“You both know what to do.”Fred said that before noticing that Michael was in the same room with him.“I’m sorry,” the man apologized stretching out his hand to shake his clients son. “I didn’t see you there. I’m Fred, the company lawyer.”“Michael,” Michael introduced himself, shaking the lawyers hand.“And you are?”“My son,” Michael’s father said still going through the files. “So where do I cancel his name and add up his brother’s?”This got Michael in a daze as he understood what was going on and what was about to happen.His father was about to replace his name with his brother’s name. His brother was going to be the one who would take over the company and not him.He was going to be left with nothing. What was his father thinking?!“Are you being serious, dad?!” yelle
Michael’s father was conflicted on whether to accept the apology and the plea being given to him or to ignore it and sign his document.He didn’t want to do it, but Michael hadn’t been the best at work. He hated what he was about to do just as much as the next guy but he had to be tough on his son if he was going to have something to call a company at the end.“Please dad,” pleaded Michael not giving up. “I promise to change. I’ll keep aside any distraction I can and try to…”“Try?” the man said with a raised brow. “I don’t need anyone to try anything Michael, I need you to either do it or not.”“I’ll do it!” yelled Michael taking up his father’s words. “Forgive my language.”The man looked at his wife and the lawyer who nodded.“Fine,” the man sighed. “But one more break, one more mistake, one more step out of line and you’re out, do you hear me?”“Yes, sir,” Michael breathed, easily knowing he had incurred one more shot at keeping his place at the company.“Now, this calls for a cel
