We broke away from the moment feeling embrassed the moment we realized we had been caught. "Sorry to interrupt the moment, but I need to speak with the both of you." Scorpion said with a smirk on his face.He stepped further into the room, grabbing a chair and making himself comfortable. He pulled out his phone. "I need you to listen to this." He said directing his statement to Vincent .We both paid close attention and soon realize the audio note playing was Orion's voice. "I need to sign the deal with the mob family if we want to elevate this position that we are in. I have sat down long enough and watched Vincent be incompetent and now that he is out of the picture, there is no stopping me." He boasted.I looked at Vincent who was listening, a look of shock on his face. "He is trying to ruin my company!" He stated."Exactly Vincent . Listen I need you to understand that Orion is becoming a menace. I know he has grown powerful, but we need to stop him. We need to put him in his p
"I still have one last document that shows my claim over the company. We can use this as a bait to lure Orion into our trap and make sure that he takes it." I explained the plan in detail to Scorpion and the boys."I hope you are aware that Orion is smart, he would know that forfeiting the documents willing is suspicious, we need to act ahead of him." "I know Orion more than any of you. He is my business partner. Since he is after signing the next big deal that would make the company become his own, he would be needing this document. His clients would ask for the deeds and that's when he would realize they are with me. He will come for it and we will take immediate actions against him." I looked at their faces and noticed a lot of them were buying into the plan and this gladdened my heart."So first, we already know he is going to meet up with the Chinese investors tomorrow, I need you to tell your spies to pay close attention to everything they say or do. If anything goes wrong, we
The silence after I broke the news to Mr. Leonard was glaring and I couldn't think of a reaction he would make. ""You are pregnant for Leonard ?" He asked in disbelief."Yes and I was hoping to break the news to him, before this tragic incident." I replied."Listen, I know you are going through a lot right now. I need you to come over to my place and we can make an arrangement for you. If there is one thing certain, you are going to give birth to my grandson." I actually liked his plan and I was grateful that Mr. Leonard was trying not to give up on me, but I knew deep down that without Leonard 's consent all his efforts would be vain.After he hung up, I grabbed my luggage and was headed out of the premises. I wasn't going to Mr. Lakers 's mansion, I needed to think of other alternatives.Hours later, I arrived at a hotel, hoping to get away from the troubles. The glares I received from several guests, who had come to check in was scary and I knew better not than to by any
Six Years Later"Congratulations Mrs. Matilda you have successfully convinced our investors to partner with you on your latest project." "It's a pleasure working with you Mr. Joe " I replied, taking his offer for a handshake politely."We do have one simple problem." Said Joe."And what would that be?" I asked."One of the investors is hosting a dinner in New York City three days from now and it's important to Mark your presence. Now I know that it's coming so quickly, but I need you to understand that certain prices has to be paid if you want your business to succeed." The moment Joe mentioned New York City, several thoughts ran through my head. I couldn't bring myself to imagine having to go back to the city where I was totally rejected. "Can't we settle for another alternative?" I suggested."No, there is no other alternative. You just have to prepare yourself. I know it's not usually your thing to move out of your comfort zone, but the earlier time you start, the quicker you
She felt a wave of relief as soon as She got out of the car and onto Starlight city 's property. Luna, my aunt, came running over to me and smiled warmly, reaching out to embrace. "It's wonderful to see you, Matilda ! Greetings from home!" She gave her a hug in return, experiencing a sensation of acceptance that I hadn't felt in a while. "Aunt Luna, thank you. Being here is wonderful." I looked around at the verdant woodland and the city members moving around as we withdrew. Compared to the mayhem and danger I'd left behind, it was a distant cry. A feeling of hope began to rise in me. This may be it—a new beginning for my children s and me.I spoke with emotion in my voice as I remarked, "I'm so glad I finally found a place to call home." Luna had comprehension in her eyes. "Matilda , you're safe now. We include you and your child in our city . We'll look after you." I grinned, a weight lifted from my shoulders, tears prickle at the corners of my eyes. I knew that coming here
The moment the doctor announced the birth, I couldn't breath for a moment, panic attack began to hit me hard."Matilda are you okay?" The doctor asked, a look of concern on his face.Anxiety and excitement mixed together in my chest as I stared at the small creatures in the incubators next to me. On my alone, how would I take care of three babies? At that moment, the door opened, and my aunt entered with a broad smile on her face. "Matilda , my sweetheart! I'm very happy for you." With her gaze sweeping the room, she exclaimed. My instincts went into overdrive right away. I knew my aunt was hiding something when I saw the lack of happiness in her eyes. After all the years of hurt and deception, I didn't trust her. "Aunt...what do you want?" With a wary expression, I gripped the bed sheets tighter.Her smile wavered briefly before it came back. "What sort of inquiry is that? I've come to rejoice at the birth of my priceless grandchildren." I gave her a doubtful look. "You didn't
Today has to be the worst and happiest day of my life, I can't imagine that a woman has the audacity to stand me up in an event, no one has ever done that to me not even my father, I have always been the one commanding respect from people an standing them up, no one has ever returned the favor until today and I was annoyed that I had no other choice than to call my wife, the woman the familia forced me to get married to, a woman who's obsessed with how hot I look, a woman who'll stop at nothing to make me hers even though we both know that it's an impossible mission, a woman who I only sex cause it's compulsory for her give birth to kids cause of the familia, a woman who married me cause of greed for power, wealth and fame.My kids and I don't like her, and we never fail to show it to her. Sometimes, I wonder if she's not worthy of been loved or I'm the one that's not capable of loving someone but I knew that I love my kids, they're my world and everything I could ever wish for.That
"I can't believe this" Leonard muttered as he stared at the man, still shocked about what happened."You better do, and I'll advice you to be careful. Your enemy is someone you know, probably someone close to you or not" I said as I patted his shoukd before I walked out of there woke my wife, Raphael ran behind me."Craig, what's going on?" She suddenly asked holding my hand as I was about to enter my car.I stared at our hands and she removed her hand gently, "don't! I repeat don't ever try this nonsense again! Go home in the other car, I might return if I finish my business early" I muttered." We both know that there's no business, who's the woman that's keeping you busy? We both know that you're a sex addict but lately, you've been abstaining from sex which is quite abnormal, I even went through your phone and I noticed that your side chicks also complained about it" she whined while I glared at her." You went through what?" I asked."I'm sorry but I was just curious to know wh
