At the end of the call, Gemma was bewildered, having spent the past sixty seconds repeatedly yelling "hello..hello!!."She ended the call and huffed in frustration at the scene Scott had caused. "What just happened? I thought he discovered something about Theo," she seethed.Huffing once more, she rubbed her forehead and continued, "I hope that brat figures out what Theo's been up to. A black card? Just take all my riches instead!" Her words were through clenched teeth."Theo, you're really toying with me. I've been living with you for so long and I'll make sure you pay for what you did to me!" She smirked with determination.*****The next morning, at Zara's hotel, a new day brought another drama as Scott sat locked in his office with Alexa.After the stupid call from Scott yesterday, Gemma had ordered the guards to lock him in his office. She assumed he hadn't found anything and would try to escape.Exiting her Mercedes car, the guards opening the doors with an elegant flourish, eve
In the conference roomTheo strode gracefully among esteemed individuals, finding himself in a position he never thought possible among such intellectual beings.Once a lowly security guard, now he stood on the verge of inheriting his father's company. As all eyes followed his deliberate steps towards the chair, he couldn't help but remember sitting on a similar one as a child while his father was away.Paul greeted him with a warm smile and gestured towards the big chair. But just as Theo was about to sit, a person voiced out."Excuse me, with all due respect, this hostile takeover is unnecessary. Roy, Ethan's brother has been running the company efficiently all this time. Why should we trust that you, a mere youth, can do the same?" a skeptical voice challenged him.Feeling suddenly small in such a large presence, Theo took a few steps back. He could sense their doubts about his abilities, skills, and even his worthiness."I understand your concerns," he spoke up, "but let me remind
Zeus paced restlessly in his office, clenching his teeth in frustration. Ethan had always been his sworn enemy, and the news that Theo was actually his son only added to his resentment towards the him.He had never been fond of Theo, but what he had done to him was unforgivable. Zeus's temper was quick and his words never stayed in check, constantly spilling out unfiltered."How do I approach this situation? Who else is involved in their plan? And why is that idiotic son of Ethan's getting involved?" Why is his death coming out all of a sudden? He muttered, tossing his pen aside in agitation.He scoffed as he thought of Ethan's delusions of reviving his company from ruin, let alone with the help of his naive son who had fallen in love with his dau...Taking his phone, Zeus dialed Gemma's number, brimming with a newfound idea." Daughter...I think I have a plan!! "******Meanwhile, in the car, Theo watched as Paul lit a cigarette."Wait, he smokes?" He couldn't help but think."Do you
The door swung open for the effluent and noble partner in the Swiss hotel." Thank you, " The woman said. The woman was a regular customer at his hotel and every time she came in, tips Theophilus Hazyes off like a beggar; which he wanted.This was his third year working as a guard in this prestigious hotel owned by his in-laws, the Wright family.He was born into a poor family but ended up with an unknown family who wanted him, though his adopted parents, who had everything in life mistreated them.Stupidly enough, he fell in love with a big man's daughter.Is it a sin to fall in love with a rich man's daughter? To the world's greatest surprise, she reciprocated his love. Gemma Is a very classy girl who feeds, dwells and lives on expensive things. Although she was born with a silver spoon, he still had to cater for her and spend all his earnings on her.And now, he's keeping this tip, to balance the money for his wedding expenses.Theo leaned his head on the wall, focusing on his
Theo woke up, his vision was blurry and gloomy. He managed to sit up and looked around his surroundings when his sight improved.He could feel his head ringing so hard like it had been hit on a rock." Hospital!!! " He mouthed.Yes, he was in a hospital wearing a patient's clothes." What happened? Why am I here? " He asked, feeling puzzled.Later, the memories started flooding back when he remembered he had been hit by a car." Oh my God!! Am I okay? " His eyes widened ,and he began to look through his body if he had sustained any injuries.His hand was wrapped with a bandage. He touched it and it hurt so badly." Ouch!! I have to get to work!! Who brought me here? Argh " He shouted with anger.Seeing his injury, he was sure he was going to be having a vacation at the hospital. He'd have to call in sick for a few days. Theo got down from the bed and began to look for his phone when a nurse entered his ward carrying some documents." Oh!! You're awake, Mr Theo. Do you know what happe
Theo couldn't believe his luck as he stared at the notification on his phone. Fifty million dollars! It felt surreal like a dream come true. He had been struggling for so long, and now, this unexpected notification seemed to proclaim a brighter future." Or am I dreaming!! " He said to himself.He still couldn't believe that a whopping amount of fifty million was sent into his account. Filled with joy, he stood up and smiled, thinking all his problems had been solved. But then, he began to think again. Where did the money come from? He didn't have anybody to give him an amount like that.He was sure it wasn't Gemma or his adoptive parents who sent the money. " If they didn't send the money. Who did send the money? Was it by mistake? " He nodded his head and thought of what to do after he had rested in excitement." When I'm done, I'll pay a visit to the back and ask for my old balance. "******* Eager to head to the bank and confirm the deposit, he set out on his wa there, the ex
Theo's heart thumped faster and tilted to what triggered his long-lost memory. He remembered what happened like it was yesterday.*****FLASHBACKLittle Theo was screaming in the car loud as his sister was in the driver's seat driving very fast." Ruth..calm down" his dad ordered.Ruth's birthday was the day after tomorrow, and little Theo exposed that Dad was getting a car for her 18th birthday, so she begged him to teach her so she'd drive her friends out." Dad, chill. This is how we roll " She laughed hysterically while driving fast.She looked up at the mirror and smiled at Theo, who was enjoying the ride.Ruth shrugged slowing down, " You see Theo is also enjoying the ride. Hold on, I'm not a licensed driver….."He cut in, " Your license will be ready tomorrow. Just be a good girl and it'll be handed over to you "That's how Theo's dad was rich. He could get a big munch of work done in a few hours. He was the big gun, a wealthy and influential man in the finance world.There was
His face turned pale when his eyes beholded what was in front of him.Wads of money in every currency possible, won, dollars, pounds, yen, euros.It was like all the presidents popped out riches and wealth. The room was like an office perfectly furnished with a sky-high view." I thought this was a hotel. How?? "Paul raised his hands in the air, and sighed, " Here is your answer, You are rich. And you were wondering about the hotel, your father owns the hotel. "What? Did he just say????" My dad's hotel!!" Theo raised his eyebrows." It's yours now. Zara's luxury hotel is yours now, Theo hayzes. Bewilderment struck him so hard that he almost lost track of how to breathe. Just yesterday, he was poor now, at this moment the table turned. He watched as Paul stretched out his hand to take a paper across the table."These are the documents, Mr Theo!! " He spoke in a loud tone.Documents??? Rich????Theo took the documents and opened his mouth in shock, hesitating to believe in his sho
