Madam Felicia absolutely refused to let Carla go."Didn't Philip say that he has turned in a resignation letter for you?" She snarled."It doesn't matter. I just want to check a few things at the office." Carla replied half-heartedly."For what reason?" Madam Felicia retorted. "I'm not allowing you to go there!" She stated firmly."I wasn't asking for your permission!" Carla rebutted firmly with a stubborn gaze of her own and proceeded to walk out of the house like nothing had happened."Stop there Carla!" Madam Felicia yelled at her but Carla didn't even pretend to hear her and continued going till she was out of the road."Damn that little brat!" Madam Felicia gritted her teeth frustratingly. "Johnson!" She yelled out to call her son. But she got no reply."Johnson!" She yelled again before she remembered that a maid was nearby who could help her call him."Why are you standing there watching me shout?" She glared at the maid furiously. "Go and get Johnson for me immediately!" She o
"Can't I just sleep like this forever?" Carla mumbled after she woke up from her sleep. The life she was living these days wasn't the kind of life she could wake up to feeling excited about each day. She detested her current circumstances.She had woken quite early and so she could still stay in bed for a while. She tried very hard to invoke the sleep once again but she failed miserably. Her thoughts were all over the place.'I wonder what Darius will do if he hears of the wedding plans.' She thought to herself while glaring at the ceiling. She really wondered what Darius would say about the current situation. Would he be angry? Would he be indifferent? Would he want to scatter it all? She wasn't sure.He had promised to take revenge on everyone. This was something that Carla still hadn't forgotten. She felt like it was an empty threat but then she had heard the reports of how he had locked his Father and step family in jail. Would he be able to throw Philip into jail?"Miss Carla.."
A few days before the wedding."Let me see the letter Philip submitted to you." Darius demanded. He was talking to Maxwell who had just come in to his office to report what had happened with Philip."Yes, young master." Maxwell handed over the piece of document with him to Darius.Darius flipped it open and read it. "Letter of resignation?" He looked up at Maxwell's face in confusion.Maxwell pushed up his glasses nervously. "I also don't understand the situation, young master." He awkwardly replied. "But Carla hasn't been in the office too either. Do you think she agreed with Philip to do this sir?""I don't think so." Darius replied with a complicated expression on his face. "I don't see any reason for Carla to do something like that. If she wanted to resign, them she would have submitted it herself." He said while being confident in his theory.The only reason Darius was able to come to this conclusion was because he knew Carla to an extent."Besides..." Darius continued. "She woul
Darius didn't feel quite easy with his decision. He shone how felt like he should make more deliberate step about the current situation but he also felt like there was no need to rush things. He just had to observe for now.But Darius had not imagined that the wedding would be on that Saturday.It was the next day and Darius sat in his office and twirled around in his seat with expectation as he watched Maxwell come in. A steaming cup of coffee had been placed on his table and Darius waiting for it to cool down before touching it."What's today's news?" He asked straight away without giving Maxwell the time to greet."Um.. that" Maxwell was caught unexpectedly and struggled with what to answer first. He eventually got his bearing and made up his mind."Philip went there again this morning as we speak and so did the wedding planners." He reported with a slight bow."And?" Darius looked at Maxwell curiously as he inquired. "Anything else?""Not yet, young master. It seems the meeting i
Darius watched the final moments of the ongoing wedding from inside his car as he seethed in rage.He had not been able to enter but he had made Maxwell to go and get access to the CCTV footage of the building. From there, the live feed was connected to a tablet and Darius watched from where he was.As much as Darius wanted to barge into the building to scatter the wedding in his wrath, he restrained himself from doing such a thing.'Its not worth it.' Darius had thought to himself. He was already too late now. Any other action he took would just seem petty to everyone who witnessed it as it would be judged as immature."You've won this time." Darius muttered as he glared at Philip through the screen. "Let's see how much longer you'll be able to enjoy it."***"She looks so beautiful!" A voice commented."Of course. Why do you think Philip was adamant in getting her to be his bride?" Another voice replied.This was inside the building that the wedding was being held. Despite the fact
"Hehe! I want to see what Darius' face will be like when he hears that I and Carla are married now..." Philip thought aloud to himself as he was being driven to his father's company.He couldn't help it. The woman that he had wanted for a long time had finally gotten to him now. Philip also felt good for taking Carla away from Darius. The very first victory he had over Darius since they met."This is just the beginning of what I'm going to do to him." Philip determined in his mind as he got off his car and entered into his father's company to meet him."Where the hell have you been?" Mr Churchill asked with a terrific scowl on his face the moment he saw Philip.Philip walked into the office nonchalantly and sat down. "Relax dad, I just finished my honeymoon in a hurry because of your unceasing calls. If you had been at my wedding maybe you would have remembered that I just got married and that I also had a honeymoon to attend to?" He accused his father."Since when do you know me to c
Philip couldn't have ever imagined that he would be the one being blamed for what was going in in the company. He looked at his father with a dumbfounded expression."What is happening right now is not my fault in any way." Philip denied with visible anger rising from within him. "You were the one who made the deal with Carla's family and convinced me that I should take what I want when I want it." He growled at his father angrily."That didn't mean you should slack off in your responsibility!" Mr Churchill snapped back."Slack off?" Philip muttered with a bitter smile. "When you said you were going to look into Darius what did you expect me to do? I should have joined in the investigation when you said you had your best guys doing the same thing? What would my involvement have changed?" He asked."There's no way we'd know now right?" Mr Churchill replied. "Since you never made any effort then we can't say that this is the result of your efforts or not. In the end, there's nothing to
"But hasn't the McArthur family been a discreet family?" Lord Regis felt like he had to ask."Of course we have chosen to be like that for a long time, however, I think it's time to come out just a bit. I'll still remain anonymous to most but I'll reveal myself to the people I think it is necessary." Darius explained.Lord Regis slightly nodded his head. But he still found some incongruity in what Darius was asking for. The McArthur family was very discreet and even fewer people knew that the family owned the Charlton Company. But if people saw Darius and Maxwell together, the truth was bound to be revealed sooner than later.At the same time, he could understand why Darius wanted something like that. No one will truly believe him or think much of him if he just went alone, and being new to it all, he needed to get familiar with how things were run and he needed a backer. That was what Maxwell was there for. But what would shock others was that rather than being Darius' backer, Maxwel
