What had made Jennie tremble was the fact that the man standing beside them was the exact man who had bullied and humiliated her in the hospital the first day she had met Richardson.Seeing him now brought back the fears which she had tried so hard to let go. It had taken a couple of weeks to finally rid that feeling of helplessness and weakness she had felt that day but seeing him in front of her brought them all back.That day had been her worst day at her workplace and even when it was the start of her new friendship with Richardson, it still bothered her and gave her nightmares for what would have happened if he had not intervened.Who knew, maybe she would have been in prison for whatever lies the man would have told the police, or maybe he would have beaten her so badly she would need to be hospitalized in the hospital she worked at.Richardson patted Jennie’s trembling hands down as he sized the man before him up. The brute had tried to do a disgraceful thing by beating up an
He went into his gallery section to pull out the proof of the pictures he had taken of the man before and after he had given him the shoes.“I hope this isn’t too much evidence for you,” Richardson smiled as he showed them different pictures of the man accepting the shoes. “I can get you more pictures if you want.”“Holy cow!” one of the man’s friends gasped as he found the evidence to be true.The man’s girlfriend was tired of having her man being insulted as she intended going for Jennie.“You’re a cheap whore!” she spat out. “Calling your man to insult my man was a very cheap move which only whores like you exhibit.”Richardson was about to say something as Jennie shook her head.“I’ll take care of this,” she whispered to the heir, turning to face her opponent. “You’re dating a pervert who had wanted to see my nakedness after I had mistakenly spilled water over his shoes. “You’re just as good as what you date and that’s saying a lot considering he’s supposed to be in jail for what
“So I was thinking, after dinner can we go to my place and hang out a little more?” she sent him a sexy smile while putting her hand over his. She felt his hand stiffen and suddenly become cold.“I’m sorry,” he sighed, taking back his hand from under her own. “But I’ll have to decline that offer.”She was taken aback by his words. Had she not been good enough for him the last time they had done it? Had he found someone better or was he not into her?So many questions raged through her head as she recoiled her hands to her lap.“I have to get an early start tomorrow as I’ve got a ton of work at the office,” he went on to explain.Jennie was not pleased to hear that one bit and she tried to hide her disappointment. He didn’t even try to promise that there would be a next time as she was sure he wasn’t into her as she had earlier thought.Maybe her mother was wrong to think he was shy and not wanting to express his feelings for her. He had his mind set on something else and she had to fi
Michael made sure he followed Alice to different places to ensure she was not cheating while trying to avoid being seen by the woman.He wondered if she was cheating on him with someone at work or someone outside. He didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary while she worked. She interacted with everyone like she would a work mate. Her friends would gather around her from time to time and she would brag about what she had gotten next with the money she had with her. “What are you doing, Michael?” he muttered to himself as he leaned back into his chair. He wondered if he was acting crazy by the way he was behaving. He knew he had to get a grip of himself before he would lose his mind.He remembered how he had shown up at work with her together and how she hadn’t spoken to him at all. Apparently, she was mad at him for something and she had refused to talk to him about it.He was also mad at her for keeping secrets from him and he knew that the new things she was getting were not be
Michael started to have a flashback based on one of his childhood memories. About how he had felt extremely betrayed on finding out that his younger brother had been made the CEO of the company.Growing up with his younger brother, he hated how his brother would be praised for so many things no matter how silly or ridiculous they would be.It got him angry every single day as he tried his best a couple of times to match up to the expectations of his parents but it never turned out well.The funny thing about the things he usually did was that if he did it, it was wrong or expected of him and as such it was ordinary, but if his brother was to do the same thing, it would be praised and he would be used as an example to him. He had tried doing so many things which would have earned his parents approval to no avail. His brother was the wanted child while he was either the black sheep or the prodigal son who returned after every mistake.It always pained him to watch his brother being pra
He had always known that as the first born, it would be his responsibility to take over the company and rule under his fathers eyes until he was ready to take over fully with his father handing the reins over to him.Unfortunately, that had not worked and instead he had been thrown out and his brother had been given the ropes on how the company worked.He remembered asking his brother if what his father had said was true just for the young boy at the time to lie to him and give him different answers.He also remembered asking his brother about his frequent disappearances, before his father made the statement, but the boy had also lied. He had not believed that his brother would betray him in this way and so he had blindly believed him.On finding out the truth about it, he had lost his temper, feeling annoyed and betrayed by his brother. Without wasting any time, he had confronted his brother about it to know the truth since his parents were not going to give him any.His brother lied
Richardson had breakfast with his grandfather while they both prepared for work.They had on their suits while they ate in the dining room with the television playing the news on mute while opera music played in the background.It was the kind of life people would see on television and pray to have. It was a wonderful life to live, Richardson thought to himself as he picked up a lobster to feast on.Mary wasn’t joining them as she was still in bed. She had nothing to do but sleep and eat. She only needed to focus on her health and getting her memories back so Tom was helping her do that.It wasn’t going as planned but it was a plan nonetheless.“How has work been?” Damien asked, trying to start up a conversation as he distracted Richardson from his thoughts.“Uhhh… it’s been great,” the heir replied stuffing his mouth with more lobsters. He had been caught off guard by his grandfather and he knew where the man wanted the conversation to lead to. He had to avoid going there with the ol
“These are all files of the company and you have no right to be in my office,” Richardson said, dropping his suitcase on a couch.The man pointed to the files on the desk, opening some of them as Richardson tried his best to be polite to the man.“You don’t need to do all of that. Just tell me what you want and I will provide them for you. If I cannot, then my assistant will do just that.”The man ignored what he had said, scattering more of the files on the desk while searching for whatever he was searching for.Richardson felt extremely disrespected by that singular action. He had been ignored by the man sitting in his position while going through his files. That was something he was not going to tolerate any longer.Richardson took in deep controlled breaths to put his rage under control. He didn’t want to appear aggressive to the man.“The files you have here are not what I need. Pathetic,” the man spat out, leaning back in the chair to have a good look at Richardson. “I can’t bel
“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
