Darius entered the room and sat down on the sofa elegantly.

Philip was shaken out of his stunned state when Darius looked at him squarely in the eyes.

"Sit, I don't have all day." Darius said. His voice sounding like that of a noble man.

It was then that Philip called himself back to order. He was the one who had called Darius over so what the hell was currently happening. This wasn't what he had envisioned in his head at all.

He had to admit that he had been more than a little surprised at Darius' composure. It was really something he hadn't anticipated at all. The way Darius walked, talked and even the pressure he exuded were all very different. It was like he had been born anew.

The craziest part of it all was when Darius asked for a VIP and got the best one that was already reserved by someone else.

'This guy, he's wielding a power that is much greater than mine!' Philip thought inwardly after realising it. It was no wonder that the police officer had refused any request that Phil

    Philip had been nervous when he was talking with Darius, but he didn't actually believe what Darius was saying. Who would believe it actually? It was too ridiculous to believe even when Darius hid the real truth and was lying to Philip.Any other person would have also not have believed. But Philip saw Maxwell driving Darius with his own two eyes. How could he be mistaken? He had seen Maxwell number of times and recognised him well. Especially since the contract proposal meeting that he had attended in the Charlton Company.Philip felt like cold water had been poured over his head and he shivered. "I'm doomed." He said to himself and jumped into his own car."Drive! Drive!" He shouted to his driver who was startled and started driving immediately. What was wrong with this new employer of his? Every damn time he came into the car, it was always with one crazy emotion or the other. The poor guy began to lament his job. 'Damn you Jack for introducing me to this job, you should have told

    "Darius is Carla's husband." Philip started somberly as his father listened attentively."He was a poor man that couldn't provide well for his Carla and his family. He was moving from job to job and Carla's parents were getting angry with him. Because I love Carla I couldn't stand by and watch as her poor husband couldn't provide for her.So I made arrangements with her parents that if Carla should divorce Darius, I would marry her. But Darius didn't want to divorce Carla. I also talked with Darius' parents that they should convince Darius to divorce Carla since he can't take care of her as the poor man that he is. It was around that time that Darius started asking me to get him a job if I want him to leave Carla alone..."Philip went on and on to say the story in a way that portrayed him as the good guy."So now you're engaged to another man's wife and he is now more powerful and influential than you are so what is the big deal about it? Just let him have his wife in peace." Mr Churc

    "That's impossible!" Carla retorted. It just didn't make sense. Even if it did, she couldn't accept the reality of it.Philip looked at her sternly and brought out his phone. One of his informants had already sent him a picture of Darius and Maxwell in a limousine together and Maxwell was the one driving."Then how do you explain this?" Philip said as he opened his phone and showed her the pictures to back up what he was saying as the truth. He then told her everything that Darius had said to him that morning, leaving out the parts where Darius threatened him.Carla's eyes shook and her mouth automatically became wide opened when she saw the picture. She was silent for long seconds before Philip spoke again."Tell me the truth Carla or else I'll beat you up!" Philip threatened. "Have you been seeing Darius or not?" He roared."I told you that I haven't been seeing Darius. What will it take for you to believe me?" She yelled back.She also began to think about it. The way she had been

    Darius was beginning to feel good lately. His chest had been becoming freer from the thoughts of revenge that he had planned.Not that he gave up his plans of getting his revenge, but it didn't weigh him down or disturb him as much. After thinking about it, he knew why.There was no need for him to out his Father, Rachel and James under surveillance again. They were locked up in the cell so didn't have to monitor them every time from his office. The only person he was currently keeping tabs on now was Carla.Since the day he had ordered his 'family' to be locked up. He had started living like the rich man that he was. It was just that he didn't really expose himself that much so Carla hadn't met him in those couple of days.This particular morning however. He came into his office whistling a merry tune. The events of the previous day was still fresh in his head. Threatening Philip and seeing him panicked did Darius a good dose of relief such that when he got home he got himself to try

    Carla was done for the day. Well, she didn't really do anything at work today. In any case, she was going home after a strange day. Darius coming to meet her in the cafeteria had made it strange.She had been gloomy and depressed that morning at the office till Darius had shown up at her table. Even though she was worried about the things that Darius could possibly want to do in return, she was strangely calm.But the thought of getting back to the family that wanted to sell her off to Philip didn't sound nice to her at all. She was reminded about the events of the previous day and became agitated."Why didn't I get my own separate house?" She berated herself. She would have it easier if she didn't live with people who saw her as merchandise just so that they could get richer.But there wasn't anything she could do about it. She was going to get married to Philip very soon and her family will go to war with her if she tried to live in another house away from them. She just had to suck

    "I picked up your call, didn't I?" Carla fired back."And I'm currently at work so why are you disturbing me with calls at this time?" She asked with displeasure evident in her voice."I'm at the gate of your company right now and I'm trying to enter but these bastards won't let me in." Philip replied. "Come and help me do something about it." He demanded."There's nothing I can do about it." Carla stated. She actually didn't want to help Philip enter her place of work. She was sure his visit wasn't to be pleasant for any reason.Darius had resumed his meal since Carla was on a call right now. He behaved like he wasn't listening but he paid very good attention to what Carla and Philip were talking about."There you go again with that nonsense excuse." Philip said with irritation. "I know you're just spitting lies and you don't want to help me." He said."You know what? Don't bother anymore." He suddenly said before Carla could reply. In the next second, Philip hung up the call.Carla

    Philip felt pure joy at that instant. His father coming to the Charlton Company was the best outcome he could ask or think of currently.He turned back to meet Darius and Carla at the table where they waited for him to prove his claims."There's been a slight change of plans." Philip said while he licked his tongue excitedly."Are you trying to manipulate the deal?" Darius asked with a frown. He wondered what Philip was up to now."No no, nothing of the sort. It's just that my father will be here any minute."Philip said plainly."Your father? Owner of Ladrak company is coming here right now?" Darius asked to clarify."What? Are you scared that you're actually going to lose?" Philip said with a laugh. "And here I thought that you actually had the means to back up your claim. What a tragedy. Maybe you should go into your office and lack your stuff in preparation to leave." He mocked with another chuckle.Darius remained seated instead and went into deep thought. If what Philip was sayi

    "Those damn bastards!" Darius cursed.His plan hadn't worked out this time. He had wanted to watch as Philip would embarrass himself in public again then Darius would use the opportunity to fire Carla and chase the both of them out of his company.What infuriated him the most was that they had already planned the wedding between Philip and Carla. Something that he didn't know about. And Carla hadn't even thought it necessary to mention it to him during the lunch time at work that they shared for those few days.It was really annoying. Darius got reminded of the anger that had subsided a bit. He wanted to actually take it slow before but now that his button was pushed, he wanted to deal with them properly this time around.He watched the awkward meeting between Mr Churchill and Maxwell. Philip hadn't even mentioned a word throughout.Maxwell had only taken Mr Churchill away from the cafeteria because he wanted them to stop talking about Darius. So siting down in his Maxwell's office wa
