Jennie could find that her heartbeat was not as intense as before after speaking with her mother. Everything was now calm and she could see the brighter side of things.She looked at the men before her as she was ready to state her terms.On the phone, she had told her mother her fears and how the conversation had gone with the two men but her mother had reassured her that they were bluffing about the legal cases.“They won’t go that far,” the woman had said with a light chuckle. “They are bluffing. No one wants to go through that process as it is really too stressful for anyone to go through. “I can testify to that as someone who has been to court a couple of times. The court system is not designed to work for men but against men. “Trust me, even if it was to get to that point, all you need to do is shed a few tears and you’ll be living the good life once again.”This had been the motivation she had been in search of and as usual her mother had provided that for her.“Alright, we h
Jennie was living her best life and she was unapologetic about it. While she slurped her drink, she was happy about how her life was going. Handing him the book, he opened it to find out she had signed it without going through the terms.“You didn’t read through?” he asked in shock after going through the book.“I read a few but then some of the words started to make me feel dizzy so I dropped them. All I know is that you are responsible and I will live with you and that is that.”He shook his head at how stupid she was becoming.Now he had to find a way to explain his situation to his grandfather. He had prepared a speech in his mind but he did not know if it would be okay to use it or just apologize. Plain apology was better. Trying to explain how he had sex without a condom even when he was being targeted by multiple people in the company who would use any means to bring him down looked like a very terrible mistake.It was an avoidable one but it had happened nonetheless.“So whe
“I will,” Richardson smiled, getting to his feet. “I guess I’ll have to go tell Mary.”“Definitely. Also the doctor came by today and I think he said something about her getting better. Maybe she’ll be better in a few days, who knows?”Richardson was happy about the news. At least she was not one of the women in his life giving him trouble.“What about mother?“ he asked, wondering if she would ever get better at all. “Is she going to be okay?”“The doctors have said that her waking up from her coma is a very slim chance. We are still praying that she does not have any complications.”Richardson nodded. He was not the praying kind but for his mother’s health, he would do anything.With a wave he left the old man and started for his room passing by the room which had been allocated to Jennie.“Hey,” she whispered after finding him walking past as she wanted to start up a conversation with him. “You didn’t tell me you lived in a mansion.”“Goodnight Jennie,” he threw at her while walkin
“Grandfather…” the heir called to be ignored by the man who was not done with his words.“Open it, take the document out, sign it and give it to my lawyer. He will take care of the rest and the company will be all yours. Everything that was under my name will become yours, my bank account included.”“Grandfather…”Someone knocked on the door interrupting what he had to say as the old man waved him away. Richardson could not do anything but walk away from the desk to open the door for the person who was knocking. It turned out to be Philip, his cousin.They both exchanged sad looks with a subtle nod before passing each other. “Richardson,” Damien called just before he exited the office.“Yes, Grandfather,” he turned to look at the man.“Take the day off. You’ve earned it and you need to be home to look after the girls.”Richardson nodded before leaving, closing the door behind him.He had not gotten into his office so he went straight for the boardroom, took up his suitcase and left
Jennie walked around the house feeling great about herself. She had seen how large the house was and had counted the cars littered around the house. There were more than thirty and they were all high value cars. The least of them she knew would cost around six hundred thousand dollars. That was a lot of money to spend on a car. The amount of workers around the estate was much. How was he able to pay all of these workers?She could definitely see that she had hit the jackpot after meeting Richardson. There was no need to work ever again. All she needed to do was be with Richardson.Plans had changed, she was going to make sure she got rid of the baby within her and take in with his main baby as he was not just rich but he was wealthy.Where was she going to find a man who had all of this again? Everyone insulted and pushed her around like she was trash, there was no way she was landing a man like Richardson again. She had to make sure he was hers, permanently.When she entered her ro
While Jennie had been on call with her mother, Mary had happened to be passing by her room to overhear the conversation they were having over the phone. This made her hear the real truth around her pregnancy and Mary marveled at how everything had turned out.She was so excited she could not wait to let Richardson know of the truth and she ran to the man’s room.Knocking on the door, she opened it to find him dressing up for an outing.“Are you going out?” she asked as he nodded.“Yeah,” he sighed in a tired tone. “I have to be at the office again. My grandfather wants me to get his files and he doesn’t want anyone to know about it.”“Before you go I have something to tell you.”He looked at her before shaking his head.“If it’s about what happened this morning, I’ve already forgotten about it. I don’t want to hear it anymore.”“I know but I’m at fault here and I apologize. I just want you to hear me out first.”“You’ll only make me feel guilty for not giving in and I don’t want to d
Mary entered her room, slamming the door in anger as she screamed at the top of her lungs in anger. How had all her plans been thwarted? Now he was not going to listen to her anymore. He was going to keep calling her a liar no matter what she would say to him. “What did I do so wrong?” she asked herself as her head felt heavy bringing with it a piercing pain which made her fall to the ground groaning.She could not move as she laid still, convulsing with the pain getting worse until she passed out.***When she came to, she looked around her room to see that she was still at the same place she had been at when she had first passed out. Someone knocked on her door as she turned to see it open and Tom entered inside.“Hello, are you okay?” he asked as she squinted her eyes at him. She immediately knew who he was but not because she had met him through Richardson but because he had been the man to work with her father.At that moment, she started to question how she knew what she knew
Michael could not help but notice that Alice’s character towards him had gotten worse. With his suspension and his bank account going down the drain he could see why she was not talking to him anymore. He was not her type and all he did was piss her off even by breathing.He knew he had to bring up his status from time to time by giving her money but if he did not have anything to give to her what was he going to do about it?She went for parties more these days and she had so much money to spend that she would always arrive with a souvenir from her numerous dates.He had tried asking her about where she was getting the money from but he had gotten ignored a lot of the times that he was now seeing himself as less of a man.Just recently his electricity bills had been left outstanding and when they had removed the electricity, she had been the one to pay for it. He could tell that he was losing respect in front of her and he wanted so bad to redeem himself.He had gone back to the off
