    Wow! I must say Emily that Zachary is being fair to Emily and her Dad by letting them still work in his company after what they did. They deserved to be kicked out already.

He was going to express his feelings for her. He had been nursing this feeling for a very long time and was looking for the right time and opportunity to tell her how much he had loved her. He only prayed that she also feels the same way he does.Well, judging from the way she looks and cares for him, he had concluded that she loved him too.On sighting the school bullies, Duncan and his cohorts, he immediately hid the items inside his mini bag and headed towards the School auditorium where the graduation ceremony would be held.One of Duncan's friends tapped him on the shoulder. "Look over there, it's the loser, Zack. I think he hid something inside his bag. Let's go confront him.""There won't be any need for that." Duncan replied to his friend, dismissing his suggestion with an evil smile

Can I borrow a hundred thousand dollars?Everything was getting clearer to Zachary.

His eyes had become red as he struggled not to shed a tear before his adversaries. He didn't want them to see him as a weak person.Emily suddenly came closer and touched his cheek. Zachary calmly took off her hands and she smiled."Well, as courtesy demands, I've come to introduce my boyfriend to you and I would be going to the same College with him."Emily went closer to Duncan and held him by the waist as she completed her statement.".....and ofcourse, with your scholarship.""Emily, you knew how I needed that scholarship.

Where is my father?Zachary kept stealing glances at the old man as they rode in his Rolls Royce. His bodyguards followed behind. They were heading to the old Mansion where Kelvin and his wife reside. Seeing the look on his face, Kelvin said to him."Not to worry, Son, we will soon be there." Kelvin broke the awkward silence between them.Zachary smiled and hummed.The Old mansion was magnificent. It looked like a King's place with lots of guards standing at different angles. The security detail was really strong as they had passed different sets of guards. Any common person would have a very hard time passing through those gates.Alighting from the car, Zachary was awed. The place was a wonder.Zachary feasted his eyes with the beauty before him. He hadn't ever thought that in his lifetime, he would ever have an opportunity to enter such a place. Kelvin let him Gawk for a while before saying."It's your New home Son." "Huh." Zachary didn't know when he said that. His mouth was st

You better watch your back As he spoke, his voice was hoarse. If Carlos Paddington was close by, he would have been torn into shreds.Kelvin held him by the shoulder, gradually lowering him to his seat in consolation."Calm down Zachary, you will see your father soon and when he is ready to face you. For now, there are more important things I want you to focus on."Just as Kelvin was still speaking, May walked in with a glass of Cranberry juice. Walking to place it at the table before Zachary, She said. "I made fresh Cranberry juice for my grandson.""Come on, go on and try it. You would definitely love it."Zachary thanked her for the gesture. Just what he needed to calm his anger. Especially as it is his favorite juice. He really admired the old lady, though she was stricken with age, she still looked strong and even cooks.Indeed she was a strong lady."We have over a dozen domestic staff in this Mansion, yet you prefer to stress yourself with house chores." Kelvin scolded his wif

Calling Security on the CEOEmily laughed him to scorn. He was basically blabbing. There was no way Zachary that she knew would own a company such as this.Even though the company belonged to his grandfather, Zachary was not sure what was in Kelvin's mind. He was yet to find out what Kelvin would introduce him as before his staff.He only claimed to be the owner of the company just to get Emily to talk. And of course, it worked. Zachary was already a hundred million dollars rich. Something he was sure the general manager, who happened to be Emily's father, was not worth."You're so delusional Zach. I think you've gone insane and no mad person is allowed in this Vicinity." Emily snapped at him while bringing out her cellphone."I'm calling the security to throw you out immediately."Zachary beckoned on her to go ahead. Seeing the boldness he exhibited, Emily was somewhat confused. This was not the Zachary she knew. Firstly, he claimed to own this company and now he told her to go ahe

Keep your guards up.The hall was thrown into Chaos as the noise came up again. Surprise and confusion were all plastered on their faces. John got hold of his daughter just in time as she staggered on her feet. Her heartbeat rose above normal. Because there was confusion in the air, people did not really notice Emily who almost fell to the ground.From where he was standing, John stared at Zachary in bewilderment. Although he dressed simple, he looked different.Zachary did not really notice the other employees. As he scanned through the crowd, his sight caught Emily and her father. He smiled as they avoided his gaze."Well, this young man here is my grandson and you don't need to know why he does not bear the surname Paddington." Kelvin's voice interrupted them."So from now onward, I'm officially stepping down as CEO. I would let your new CEO address you now."Zachary felt chill run through his spine. How would he address these people? He had never been in a position of power befor

The surgery was successful before he left the hospital yesterday and the doctor said he would be fine.And what is it that he wants to tell him?Zachary's mind was restless as a lot of thoughts kept running through it.He knew he should have gone back to be with his Grandpa. Although Kelvin had assigned some people to make sure Nathan was properly cared for, he still should not have left his father entirely to the care of strangers.If it weren't for Grandpa Nathan, he would have been dead a long time ago. Zachary arrived at the ward to find his father sitting up. He turned and smiled faintly at him.Even though he looked weak, he did not appeal to him as someone who was dying.

I'm in love with you Zach.Stone waited for him to explain further before taking action."I've just been insulted by this waiter and the manager."Stone's face suddenly darkened on hearing what Zachary just said.Zachary left Stone to sort things out as he headed for the car."Well, I'm sorry to say this. You are both fired. You just insulted the owner of this bar. Next time, be more careful with your choice of words." Stone told the manager and the waiter at everyone's dismay.Shocked, they immediately fell to their knees to plead."Sir, please pardon us. It won't happen again. Please beg the young master on our behalf." They pleaded but it fell on deaf ears."It's too late now." Leaving the duo still on their knees pleading, Stone joined Zachary in the car and it Zoomed off immediately.Zachary had just been informed that the bar belonged to his grandfather and those two had the temerity to insult him.

Chapter 10. Sent by Emily to spy?
Taken aback, Zachary stared at her confusedly. Did he hear that right? Is this a prank?Mirabel must definitely be bluffing.She saw his puzzled look and nodded in acknowledgement.Scanning his environment, Zachary realized that they were standing by the roadside with passersby throwing glances at them. Feeling uncomfortable, Zachary made to leave but Mirabel held him by the arm."Please, just hear me out." She pleaded. Taking the chance, Mirabel indirectly asked him out."Zach, you know I'm not Emily. The least you can do for me now is listen to all I have to say."Running her hands through her black long hair, Mirabel let out a Sigh."Since you don't want to go back to the restaurant, can we talk in my car?" She said, pointing a white Volvo car parked at the restaurant garage. "Or would you prefer we go to someplace cozy?"Zachary fell silent like he was contemplating if he should accept her invitation or not. Throwing glances at her pleading face.'What does she really hope to achi
