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
Alice walked through the hallway to the apartment which she shared with Michael. While she passed an old lady who was getting into her apartment, she started to think of Jennie.She smiled evilly as she knew Jennie was going to lose Richardson to her very soon. All she needed to do was up her seduction game and she would be able to get the man back to her side.She had to find a place where he would be and be there with him. She had to trap him to her side once and for all.Michael was too broke to get her what she wanted. He was too poor to afford her. She had to make sure she could afford to get more bags and if she stayed with Michael, she would be poor just like him.She would be a laughing stock in front of her friends and she didn’t want that to happen.The bag in her hand shook around reminding her that a ten thousand dollars purse was in it. It felt good to be rich again.She reached the door of the apartment only to find loud music emanating from it. What was that poor bastar
“Fuck!” Jennie screamed immediately she entered her apartment, pacing around in frustration.How had it gotten to this point, she asked herself.Her funds were running low already and a new one wasn’t coming forth. It was not even guaranteed that she would be getting new ones from Richardson. All she had been spending had been the money from the gathering she had gone to with him. Now everything she had was gone and she had to pull herself together and know what she was going to do to get money from him again.She wondered when he would be going to a plus one gathering again so she would get paid like before. She picked up her phone to call and ask him but decided against it. It had to be his call and not hers to make.She couldn’t believe she had let that witch, Alice, goad her into buying the ten thousand dollars purse. She didn’t even need it so why had she gotten it?!She was so angry at herself for doing such. She should have walked away instead of trying to prove that she could
Michael scrolled through his phone playing some games which he could find on his phone store. He could not sleep, not without getting some of the thoughts which ravaged him out of his head.He looked at Alice who was sleeping peacefully beside him. She had fallen asleep a while ago leaving him alone with his thoughts.How could she do that to him? He had loved her and trusted her but she had turned around to stab him in the back.After all he had done for her, this was the only way she could repay him.He believed Alice was cheating on him. There were no two ways about it. He had asked her countless times over the bag she had gotten. That had been the bag she had wanted from him for a long time and because he did not have the money to buy it for her, he had only vowed to get it when he was rich again.Seeing her with the bag when he knew she could not afford it had made him become suspicious of her movements.Lately, she had been going to strange places without telling him and it had
“Pack your things and leave,” Richardson said after returning home to see Jennie lounging around by the pool.“Excuse me?” she scoffed when he had said those words.“You heard me. Pack up and get out of my house.”“May I remind you that I am pregnant.”“You forgot to mention that the baby is not mine.” He said those words as she gasped to her feet. He got out his phone playing the video out loud as she watched it in shock.“That video is a fake!”“It looks pretty real to me. Now I have called my bank manager and every single thing I have sent you since this whole thing started has been refunded back to my account and you are back to where you started.”“But that would be that I would be owing the bank. My account would be in minus a hundred thousand dollars.”“Then I suggest you had better start working for your money as you are not my problem anymore.”He nodded to the security guards he had come with as they entered the house with one of them dragging her into the house.“They will
When the women had gone out of the restaurant, Alice listened to the conversation over and over again and was happy that she had gotten what she needed to use against Jennie.She could not believe that she was going to ruin the woman’s life and she was prepared to do it without remorse. If Jennie was going to have Richardson, then she would ruin what they had with this evidence.She had already known where Richardson would be the next day and she was prepared to meet him there.With a triumphant smile, she stood from her seat, no longer hungry as she went home for the day.***The next day, she garbed on her most wonderful attire as she started for the park where she would see Richardson getting his favorite snack.She arrived early to make sure she did not miss him and when she found his car parking there, she rushed to him with her phone to show him the evidence which she so greatly prided herself for.“Hey,” she smiled to him as he got out of the car but his face was swollen like h
She looked out to watch the heir step out of his car and look around in confusion at how the gate was open and how there was no one around the estate.She wanted to warn him but she could tell that her father would also hear her. She had to stop him from getting into the house.She hissed out of her window trying to get his attention but all he did was look around aimlessly trying to figure out where the noise was coming from.When he was done doing that, he ran into the house getting the lady to smack her forehead in anger.“He’s really going to get himsef killed.”Opening her door slowly to make sure she did not alert the man in the house, she started for the stairs as she watched the heir run into the living room.She tiptoed silently to not make any noise in the house and when she reached the bottom of the stairs, a thud was heard with the two men still having conversations.She hid behind the door of the living room to have a peek into the room as she found Richardson hiding behi
“Do you like your new position? I bet it’s really nice to sit on that very comfy seat and give orders from above. The question is, what would happen if someone decided to take away that power from you? Would you let us…”“What do you want?!” yelled the heir tired of the games. He had grown exhausted and he just wanted to see his grandfather. He wondered if everyone in the house was safe. Jennie, Mary, Damien, Tom and his mother. He did not want anything to happen to any of them. He wanted them all to be safe. He refused to believe that anything had happened to Damien.He stood to his feet to face the man once again. He was not going to be afraid of the man but he was going to face him and kick him out of the house.He knew being at the top would make him an automatic target but why would everyone see him as an enemy. He had done nothing wrong.He knew this was the goal of his family members and that was it. There was no one else mad enough to do this.They had hired this low budget h
Richardson arrived at the company with a sour mood as he was tired of the drama which was unfolding at the estate. The drama between Mary and Jennie was getting out of hand.Why would Mary try to be sexual with him? It was not like he liked her that way.“Sir Richardson,” someone greeted him as he looked to see Jace smiling at him with some files in his hand.“Hey, Jace,” the heir said, coming back to earth. “How are you this morning?”“Oh I’m doing alright. I’m here with the files you asked me to compile for you. They do need your approval and they would soon be used later on by the other team so I compiled it as fast as I could.”“That is great,” Richardson got into his office to see a letter on his desk with his name written on it. “Please, drop the files by the cabinet and I’ll give it a quick look.”“Alright sir,” Jace said, dropping the files before exiting the office with the door closing behind him.When the boy was gone. Richardson picked up the letter to read and found it to
Tom grunted as trying to explain his plans to the man before him could expose his entire plans and he did not want that to happen. He also did not want to end this without a climax which would get him a sure victory.As a master of subtlety he was going to try to win Damien over to his side. That was sure to grant him a win and he was prepared for it.“Listen, Damien,” he said again, shocking the man. “What I am trying to tell you is that I can turn this empire into a greater one. All your enemies I can wipe them out with a thought. No one would look down on us ever again. “We can rule and we can make sure that everyone who hears our name trembles in fear.”“Us? Rule? What are you talking about Thomas? Where are you going with this?” Damien asked in shock. “I already have a grandson who will take over for me when I am gone. I will teach him the ropes around everything. “I have watched him grow over the course of a few months he has stayed with me and I have watched him speak kindly
Tom looked out of his window one morning as Richardson entered his car to drive off for work. His face smeared into a grin as he watched the heir drive off.He had been after the heir since he had known after his existence. He could not believe at first that the heir existed and during the heir’s DNA test he had wished the heir was not real but it had come up positive that he was Damien’s grandson.This had infuriated him but he had decided that he would use this to his advantage instead.Before Richardson entered into his life, for years he had been planning steadily to get the company from the Wilson’s. He had made Damien trust him as the man was without an heir and he was the only person he trusted.He had built that trust until it was broken by Richardson stumbling into his life. And now he was back to zero as he could not get anything with the heir being there. There had to be a way to take back the company without Richardson being a thorn in his flesh so he had been trying to
Michael stared at her for sometime before bursting into laughter shocking Alice for she had not seen that reaction coming. She had expected that he would accept her pleas as usual and they would hug, kiss and make up and get back to the apartment to have mind blowing sex. But instead he had laughed in her face which was like a slap to her. Why was he acting so strangely?“What? You thought you would just crawl back to me after insulting me like I was a child a few days ago?” he asked. “Please, get real. I am not a child.”“Baby, let’s not do this here,” she said, being self conscious of how the public was looking at them.“Oh shut up,” he hissed. “Now they are your biggest concern. Do you know how many times I have begged for your love and attention and all I’ve gotten were scraps? Do you know how many times I wanted to be seen by you? “I loved you for a long time, Alice. Sometimes I would get you food to starve, that was how much I loved you. I got cursed by my parents, I got laid
For days she tried contacting different investigators to help her with her case as they kept sending her files which she kept on compiling.She was ready to destroy Jennie with everything she could find and she went through the files to see if there was anything she could use against the woman.She could see some incriminating evidence against the woman and when she tried to save the files into the desktop to read later a hot coffee poured over her desktop ruining her computer and destroying everything.“What is wrong with you?!” Alice yelled to her feet as she turned to the person who had done it to find Lola staring at her. The manager came out of his office to see what had happened and he found Lola carrying around a trolley of coffee going around to deliver to the workers.“I really do apologize. It was a mistake,” Lola apologized after finding out that her manager was staring at her.“You fool! This is all your fault! You just ruined my whole plan!” Alice was furious as everythi
