Still trying as much as possible to keep a low key life, Zachary boarded a taxi that took him to the hospital. Mr. Stone had insisted on driving him to the hospital but he refused.Stone was unhappy and disappointed.He was not paid a huge amount of money to just stay at home when he was supposed to always be with Zachary.Mr. Kelvin would definitely get mad when he learns about it.Zachary had seen his frustration and tried to calm him down as he said."You don't have to be pissed off over this. I'm not ready for a sophisticated life yet. I still want to enjoy life as a simple man without the world knowing who I am. I don't want the media hovering around me each time I step out."Mr. Stone had hummed in response, he understood the angle from which Zachary was coming from. Going around the city in a Rolls Royce especially during the day would cause people to raise their eyebrows. They would start asking a lot of questions.Aside from the company and the two other places where he had s
With the onlookers watching in bewilderment, Zachary was hurled into the police car as he stared at Mr Cedric. Confusion written on his face.Before the perplexed onlookers could bring out their phones in order to take videos, Zachary had already been shoved in the police vehicle.Confused and puzzled he muttered something under his breath. "Why am I being arrested? Surely, I have the right to know my offense.""Quiet, you criminal. One more word from you and I will give you a resounding slap." One of the two policemen shouted at him as he gave him a death stare. His eyes were cold and domineering.Zachary kept to himself after the officer's warning. Since he knows about his right to a phone call, he knows exactly who to call.He was not going to call Mr. Kelvin over a trivial matter like this. He would not dare disturb the old man when his subordinate was more powerful than Mr. Cedric. Soon, they alighted from the car and the two policemen dragged him by the shirt like he was some
Even though it was not Kelvin himself standing before him, Mr Cedric knew how powerful Maraya's threats could be. I mean, she's been his secretary for a long time and Kelvin Paddington trusts her completely.Upon hearing Maraya's venomous words, he immediately fell to the ground to everyone's dismay. Maraya just stared at him in disdain."Look Mr. Cedric, I think you should save that for your boss when the deed is already done. You still have from now to a few minutes time to report yourself to your boss. For now, I'm done with you."Mr Cedric was still on his knees pleading and the policemen gazed at the unusual sight in astonishment. It was really strange.The officer who slapped Zachary was even more puzzled and scared for himself after he remembered assaulting Zachary earlier.Maraya glared at the man at her feet scornfully. Disgust evident on her face. "Mr Cedric." She uttered. "I'm not God that you should kneel at my feet. Get up and withdraw your complaints immediately." She or
It baffled Mr Stone that Zachary asked to be driven to the hospital rather than resorting to boarding a taxi. Interesting indeed.Although he had chosen to be driven in the cheapest of the cars at his garage. Kelvin had gotten a few cars for him since he moved into Villa. Driving a simple car would not arouse suspicion and cause people at the hospital to raise eyebrows. If he is seen at the hospital alighting from a Rolls Royce, people would definitely ask questions.However, Zachary had his reason for going to the hospital with his car as he would not want to take his grandfather home in a taxi. Alighting from the car, Zachary went to the doctor's office for the necessary paperworks.The door opened to reveal a slender and tall man in his early thirties who was wearing glasses. Upon seeing Zachary, the doctor immediately recognized him and greeted with a friendly smile. "Good morning Mr Zachary. How can I help you this morning?""Good morning doctor, I hope my grandfather's health
Standing before Zachary was one of his adversaries. Duncan. The guy who had backed Emily up when she stole his scholarship. He was the reckless driver who crashed his car and he still had the balls to point accusing fingers.Stone just gazed at the two in bewilderment. There was definitely a long standing enmity between them.As soon as Duncan saw Zachary, his mouth fell apart in surprise as he was bewildered with how Zachary had changed. He looked different.Was he really the owner of the car?Adding to his curiosity, Stone came forward and tried to explain the situation after calling him Boss. Duncan was shocked and as well confused.He suddenly remembered what Emily was trying to tell him the previous day. Does she really mean what she was saying? Was he really the owner of the Influitive Oil and gas—the biggest oil company in Texas. And worst was that he didn't allow her to talk.Sizing him up, Zachary's smirk turned to a sneer.Raising his brows Zachary said to Duncan. "What now?
Zachary planned to take up Nana's offer of spending time with her at the beach. Kelvin can tag along, if he wished. Although, Zachary was feeling awkward about the whole arrangement. On the contrary, his Nana was elated, so she packed all the goodies she could lay her hands on just for her grandson.However, Kelvin decided to tag along after all.Since it was the weekend, there was nothing wrong with having a little fun and spending time with the family that had given him relevance in society. It was only right for him to get to know them and possibly bond. And it was at such times that families bond with each other.The drive to fountain beach was quite long and boring. With Zachary leaving his ailing father in the care of a nurse and the domestic staff, Zachary rode down the beach with Stone driving.He wore a loose-fitting linen floral shirt and flowy kimono shorts. Lying on the car seat was his dark sunshade as well as a beach hat. Zachary has never gone to the beach before. He co
Zachary lowered his gaze in shame and Mirabel smiled inwardly. She didn't expect that the old lady would stand up for her and scold Zachary.Glancing around the place, she saw several men on black suits. Some were standing close to the old couple while others were planted at various positions looking out for their Boss. Even though it was a beach that only the elites have access to, they still needed to keep their guards up."Grandpa, Grandma." Zachary greeted his grandparents to Mirabel's astonishment because she knew who they were. The richest people in Texas.How did they suddenly become Zachary's grandparents? And why did they let him suffer for many years?Oh! This was the reason he could comfortably throw a hundred thousand dollars at the restaurant manager without batting an eye. He was the grandson of the Paddingtons. Wow! But how did it happen? Shaking off all the thoughts in her mind, she greeted the old couple who had been throwing glances at the two people in front of th
"Huh?" Emily suddenly exclaimed. She was oblivious of her parted mouth. "What is it about? I hope there's not a problem. Are you fighting with your Dad, or you must have gotten yourself into trouble?"Emily was not patient to even hear what he had to say before blabbing. She had thought that his sour mood was as a result of whatever he had to say.Duncan glared at her. He was unsure of what to reply to Emily with. What's she even talking about?"Emily." He blurted out angrily. "What the heck are you even saying? Shouldn't you have let me finish before crucifying me.""I've noticed your temper since when you called, so I deduced something was wrong." Emily tried to explain but Duncan's raised hand which signified that he was not interested in listening to her.Since she has already reached a conclusion without confirmation, there was no need to explain further."Nevermind." Tilting her head, she felt disappointed. Emily decided to play with her phone a little. It's best she let things
