When he had awoken from his nap, he was called upon by Tom to have dinner with his grandfather.“I don’t feel like eating with him today,” he groaned awake to find himself still wearing his work clothes. “Look, I haven’t even changed into my casual clothes yet.”But his excuses fell on deaf ears as Tom shook his head.“Sir Richardson, your excuses are only excuses and they all have solutions to them. First of all, you cannot refuse dinner with the master of the empire. Secondly, you can easily change into the clothes you need to change into.“You are in your room after all and you have the liberty to do as you wish. It is the old master’s wish that you join him for dinner. Besides, he also just came back from work and asked to see you and eat with you.“Don’t forget you both have not had dinner in a while with you leaving every now and then to sleep outside.”Tom gave him a sly smile as he felt his cheeks redden from the old man’s gaze. He knew the man knew about his sexual relationsh
“I don’t want to lose you the way I lost your father,” Damien sighed with his hands clasped. The distant look in his eyes said it all as he remembered the past. “You have to be careful with how you eat and drink in public because I’m sure your enemies have increased and multiplied drastically.”That was not a fact that Richardson could ignore as he knew that he was a very big target. He knew his cousins were not the only threat to him but almost all the big names in the company were after his position.Only God knew how many other people were capable of ending him if they had the chance to do so.Richardson knew that lately he had been nonchalant about the things he ate and where he ate them at. He had been free with a lot of people at the company and that was a very costly mistake.It could end up with him dying. He remembered that earlier that day he had tasked his secretary with getting him coffee at the office. If one of his cousins could enter his office even with her around, t
The next day at the office, Richardson was talking to Tom about the accident. He had given the butler the details of the plate number of the car that had rammed into him as he wanted the man to pay for his arrogance.“So, did you get anything?” the heir asked, pushing aside his work to focus on the subject at hand. It was important he showed who was in control instead of fighting on the street and sullying himself.He was going to let others deal with it for him.“Well,” started Tom. “From what I could find out, the plate number is stolen and the actual owner of the car has been looking for it for over a week.”This news got Richardson surprised as his eyes widened after hearing that. Who could have thought that karma was so generous to him now?The heavens were smiling down on him because he was ready to destroy the arrogant thief with everything he had.He had stolen a car and rammed it into him only to be rude about it. Very stupid of the man and his girlfriend.He started to wonde
Richardson knew what the secretary was talking about. It seemed like the woman had arrived with her son but he remembered he had not given any young man any card. It was just the woman and her very little son.He wondered if the young man was the man he had seen her with yesterday in front of the company giving her food. Maybe that was the man.Either way, he wanted to see how everything would play out. After all, he had enough time on his hands to spare.“Let them in,” he said inquisitive to know who the young man was going to be.“Alright sir,” he heard the lady say. “You can go in.”Within minutes, his door opened up with the strangers entering his office.***Alice stood in front of a mirror of a restroom sobbing. She didn’t care that she was in her work place, she only wanted to let out her anger and frustration in a way and that was what she was doing.She gave a little cry followed by a sob to control her emotions which were reeling out of control as she wiped the snot from her
At first they had started talking like they cared but soon enough they started to insult her and her boyfriend for their embarrassing behaviors at the party last night. She could not understand why she was being treated the way she was treated.She usually blamed Michael for the embarrassments but now it seemed like she was the one embarrassing others.The scenery from the party last night came up with a rush making her close her eyes again with tears rolling out.How the lady had poured drinks on her gowns and severely insulted her made her want to cry even louder. The lady did not have to make a scene but instead she had done so. It looked like it was all she wanted to do, to embarrass her in front of her friends and people from the company.She felt embarrassed and hurt with all the weird looks she had been getting since she arrived at work. It all made sense to her now why people had been giving her the looks.Because of the stares, she had run into the restroom to cry out her ey
Alice felt like she had gone through a lot and didn’t know why she would still have to go through a lot.She watched the woman before her with hatred as she wished she had the strength to attack her but she knew she would lose.Everyone in the company had already seen the video, at least that was what her mind told her and she was not in the right state of mind ti fight anyone.She knew she had lost this one so she had to let it go. Fighting Lola was not worth it.Lola exited the restroom with an evil laughter escaping her lips, leaving the door ajar to annoy Alice who walked to the door, slamming it shut in anger.***Michael typed away at his computer while trying to focus on work. He didn’t want to remember what had happened last night so he focused on work.His friends who had humiliated him at the party joined him at his desk with smug grins on their faces.Michael looked up to see three of them standing over him in matching suits. “What do you guys want?” he asked with a bland
Michael knew his life was already doomed after that. There was no telling how rough life was going to be after the suspension.He was barely surviving on the company’s salary because his living expenses were very costly and the money he had gotten from his dad was almost running out. “Now, for the two of you who can’t understand the gravity of your crimes and will want to ask me how much I would be deducted from your salary, I’ll answer you and reply now,” the manager said as he punched some numbers in a calculator.“Wow, that is a lot of money and I don’t see you guys paying it anytime soon. Anyway, from my calculations I’ll be deducting a lot from your salary. I don’t have the right estimate as I can tell that you guys broke more than five MacBooks.”He pushed on his buzzer which got his secretary entering his office.“Sir,” the lady said at the door. “You called for me.”“Yes I did. I calculated five broken MacBooks when I came outside to see what was going on. Is anything else br
Alice heard some people at the door discussing as she turned on the tap on the sink to wash her hands and act like she was busy.She knew they would soon get into the restroom and she didn’t want them to know she had been crying due to what the lady had said to her.She was going to be careful with how she did things. She already had the whole office on her case. She was sure they were all waiting for her to make another mistake so they would call her out.She would be careful especially around that lady who had threatened her. Even her friends were against her. She would also need to be careful around them as well. It seemed like no one at the office was to be trusted. All they wanted was to see her downfall. If only she had enough money in her bank account, she would have gone away from the office and gone for a shopping retreat.That was what she needed at the time. Whenever she felt herself getting stressed or getting overwhelmed, the only thing which worked to calm her down was
“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
