The legacy of the supreme ruler Luts dilemma
“And you're talking about jewels? You've got to be kidding me.”At that moment, Ariel stopped touching it, her mind reeling. Before then, she was thinking of calling Lut and thanking him, but Richard's words had sown that seed of doubt that had been lingering in her mind for a while now.“How did you receive it?”“Seraphina said a delivery man brought it to the house while we were with the horses.”Richard's laughter was condescending.“And you believe that? You actually believe that Lut, who can't even get himself good clothes can buy jewelleries from where…Tommy's… for you?”At that moment,the necklace on Ariel's neck felt like heavy lead.She wanted to get it off by all means.“Well, if Lut didn't send it, then who did?”And it was when she saw Richard's knowing smile that she shrieked in happiness.“Richard? Don't tell me you bought this.”Richard smiled, his eyes lightning up immediately.“And don't tell me that you fell for my little prank. How in heaven's name did you even beli

Aurora looked at the document, her hands trembling slightly. She couldn't believe it. It was the document legalising the renovation of Déjà vu, and also commending her for the good work that she had done so far. She stared at it, not knowing what to do with it, then smiled at him. “That is our grand prize, Aurora. And it's just the beginning. By the time we're done with the Déjà vu project,customers will be coming in dozens. I honestly can't wait.” Aurora nodded, touched by his words. When he had told her to follow him, she had been afraid that she had done something wrong. But now, she was happier than ever. To her, the opportunities were endless. If she succeeded in impressing the CEO and Lutenant as well, there were going to be a lot of referrals and a lot of jobs coming her way. She had been promised that by her boss himself. “The most important thing, sir, is keeping the people working with us happy. We've done that. We can only

He turned from the window, allowing his thoughts to be overshadowed by the beautiful body underneath the robe that his fiancé was wearing. He was going to get to Lutenant later. * “How far have you gone with the project, Lut?” It was his father. They were having dinner with director Edward in attendance, and he had come with his first and only child, Edward junior, who was a carbon copy of him. The same glassy eyes, an intense stare and the nose that seemed European. “Well, so far, everything is going well. Hopefully, nothing goes wrong. I can't wait to open up the new doors of that fast food. With the company's contacts, we are going to get more customers.” He watched his father nod. “I have a different vision for déjà vu, father. A place where the middle class and the elites can mingle. A place where two classes can afford to eat without feeling the pressure. It's not going to be easy, but one thing I'

“You can have your house to yourself, Aurora. At least you've let me know that you're not the kind of friend I always thought you were.” That was Aurora's breaking point. For a while now, she had struggled to put up with her best friend's lifestyle. To hear her make it all about herself was painful. How could she do that? Aurora stood up from where she had been sitting, unable to take it in anymore. “You've got to be kidding me, Natalie. You come into my home, make me uncomfortable, and I don't have the right to complain? That's one of the most sick things I've ever heard, and I can't even believe it's coming from you. Please leave if you're going to.” Natalie, who had expected that, began to pack her bags. At that moment, she didn't care anymore. She didn't care if she was losing her best friend, all Aurora wanted was for her house to b
The legacy of the supreme ruler Scheming and plotting
“Well, good work in general. I love your idea and your initiative. But here's the thing, don't get too carried away. This is a project that is meant to test you. It isn't your place, at least, not yet.” Lut nodded, fighting the urge to roll his eyes. What a man. He never seemed to lack criticism. “Yes sir. I'll take note of that.” When he entered his car and drove off, Lutenant nearly shook his fist at his departing car. At the same moment, he saw Aurora's old model Benz enter the premises, she parked and got out of the car as quickly as possible, a briefcase in her hand. Black hair, black suit and a wristwatch that seemed to compliment her dressing as the icing on the cake, she looked splendid. She was the perfect representative. “Good morning sir. This is me hoping that I'm not too late. You're not supposed to be here until eight, but this is just thirty minutes past seven.” Lutenant smiled

The Déjà vu parking lot was filled to the brim. It was kind of a food tasting party organized by Lutenant,but the idea had been his father's.It was a beautiful way to announce to the entire city that the place was officially open, the new owners had come to stay, and that the best chicken and fries combo had just gone through an upgrade.The building, just like any new project, had a tape around it that was going to be cut to signify the new ownership, and the staff had already prepared in earnest, making sure that everything was available before hand, and that the place was clean, shiny and soft music was playing in the background.Lut stared at Aurora, who looked slightly overwhelmed and out of place. He understood how she felt.A single mistake and all their hard work would go down the drain. He didn't want that. And he had made sure that it wouldn't happen by staying up all night, watching the place, ensuring that Gus and his workers did everything necessary to make sure that eve

“These men you see here, they're looking for more of your kind. Good, loyal, strong and confident. And above all, young. They want your kind. They know that with you, there is reward, and that the risk of being unfortunate and losing money is less.”Lut nodded, listening attentively. He had never heard his father speak so strongly before. He meant every word he said.“I just want to remind you that no matter the offers you receive, you want to remember that you still work for me. I am not entrapping you, but I want you to use your eyes and use your head. Work smart, don't work hard.”Two men came forward,and the conversation was suddenly cut short. And even though it was short, Lutenant remembered every bit of it.His father was a very busy man, and he needed every piece of advice and information he could get patterning to the business world.“Franklin Valley, this is my son, Lutenant James. He is the one in charge of the Deja vu project, and he is going to be in charge of it until it

“And you're talking about jewels? You've got to be kidding me.”At that moment, Ariel stopped touching it, her mind reeling.

The surprise package
As soon as she came down from Midnight's back, Ariel found her way back to the main house.While Richard stayed back to ride a little before putting the horses back into the stable, she decided to go for a drink and some snacks.As she made her way back to the house, she smiled, thinking about the few minutes she had just spent with her just engaged lover. She could see why he wanted them to marry so quickly. .He loved her, and they couldn't do without each other.As she got closer to the house, she squealed in surprise and pure happiness when she saw that the power supply had been turned back on.Seraphina, who was standing next to the door, held out a towel, ready to help her mistress out with the beads of perspiration that had gathered on her brow and her forehead.“Thank you, Seraphina.”Seraphina bowed, her rosy cheeks lighting up.“Did the electricity company come?”“Yes madam, they did. They left the bill on the kitchen table.”Accepting the towel, she mopped her face gingerly
Turbulent times
Armed with the band that clipped her hair in place, the riding boots, and then the trousers, Ariel could tell that she looked funny.But she liked it because Richard liked it as well.“Which horse are we riding today, my love? You get to choose.”Ariel smiled. She knew some of the horses by names, and had forgotten some. As a child, she was fascinated by horses, and had a pony for her Thirteenth birthday. Now, she was fascinated by fast cars and beautiful dresses, how fast she had changed over the years.She glanced at one of the older horses, and through it's gentle nature and the black star on her forehead, she recognized Midnight, one of the horses she had always loved as a child.“Let's use Midnight. I don't know if she can remember me now, but we used to love each other when I was a kid.”Nodding, Richard went to work. Patting the horse, he gently guided it out, and Ariel was slightly impressed. Back in the university, he had a thing for horses, and had always visited the barns i
