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
'Motherfucker!' Philip exclaimed inwardly.It felt like Darius was cheating. Or was he lying? Five Billion dollars was an insane amount of money.Philip instinctively knew that he had lost this round. He couldn't say a word as he saw the faces of his now former in-laws to be painted with greed.Their attitudes changed instantly once again and they looked at Darius like a god. At this point they didn't even care how he got to possess that amount of money. But the proof was there. His car and the expensive gifts he had just brought."You don't even know if its fake!" Philip managed to blurt out in desperation."I know a real cheque when I see one boy!" Madam Felicia shut him down immediately with a condescending look. Philip was shocked.He never for once thought that he would be on the receiving end of that look from Madam Felicia. It was a stark contrast to how she had been treating him before that very moment.She was always smiling and welcoming and even showed concern for him at ti
Carla had a very troubled day. She couldn't get herself together after hearing everything that Darius said. All the sweet fantasies that she had started harbouring towards him had disappeared.When Darius had actually first shown up in her house the previous day. She was enticed by the affection he showed. She had started to feel a certain attraction to that new side of Darius. It gave her butterflies in her stomach so to speak and so she readily followed him when he pulled her along.In that moment. She saw Darius as her saviour from Philip's grasp. She knew that Philip was going to be the worst husband ever but there was no way she could escape from him till Darius showed up and took her away.Best part was that he now had more power and money than Philip and even his father. She saw how Philip had reacted to that amount of money that Darius casually gave away and was convinced. So she followed Darius without offering any resistance.Being driven to the office, she thought she could
Darius was simply enjoying himself as he tormented Carla.But in fact she had surprised him when she finished the mighty workload under the one hour extra time that he had given her. He hadn't actually expected her to complete it. But she did.It showed how capable she was. But that wasn't what Darius was after. He wanted her to despair under the weight of pressure. So he gave her another task that he knew she would struggle to accomplish.When they were actually coming to the office in his car. He had intentionally told her that he had to issues with her, that all his grievances lied with her family and they were the only targets for his revenge along with Philip. It was so that he would be able to catch her off guard. And also so that she wouldn't suspect him when he eventually started to do what he wanted to do.When he gave her the second impossible task to do, he watched her through his computer and saw how she reacted to his words without suspecting him.What really amused him wa
Mr Churchill was having the best day of his life.He and Maxwell had just finished discussing how the project would go. Maxwell had told him to start the work immediately with his men.Mr Churchill complied immediately and did as Maxwell instructed. He sent out a memo to all of his company workers to tell them to start the work right away.He also took out the time to call Philip."Dad. What's going on?" Philip asked upon receiving his father's call. He didn't like to be disturbed at all."Stop responding that way!" His father cautioned."What is it? You were the one who disturbed my sleep." Philip grumbled."And so what?" His father replied angrily. "Future heir of the Ladrak company, do you even know what is going on in the company right now?" His father asked angrily."I don't care about it. Let me sleep!" Philip replied in a similar tone of anger. He had not yet gotten over the events that happened at the Morris house some days ago. He hadn't been able to show his head outside of
"Hehe... Nice to see you too Carla." Philip said with a smug grin. Carla frowned a bit and turned her head away from Philip's face. "I have to go." She said with a pretence of impatience and wanted to walk past Philip to get out of the company. "Whoa! Whoa! Hold on Carla." Philip stepped in the same direction she wanted to move to stop her from going. "Please let me pass Philip, I'm in a hurry." Carla said weakly with the feeling of a lump in her throat. "You do look like you've been to hell though." Philip finally said after taking a closer look at her face. Then he let out a cunning smirk. "Is this how your 'rich husband' treats you now?" He said teasingly with emphasis on the "rich husband'. Carla's eyes went dark with a look of bitterness. But she still looked at Philip squarely in the face. "Mind your business Philip." She said firmly. Though she 'knew' that Darius wasn't the one responsible for what was happening to her, she felt like it was Darius' karma that was punishi
"Stop doing this Philip. Impressing me wouldn't be of any good after what happened." Carla said in tired exasperation. She was very tired and weak at this moment. All she could think of was getting to her home and allow her maid to attend to her. Give her some body massages and help her to relax before she will proceed to sleep like there was no tomorrow. The seat of Philip's car was so comfortable that she was really tempted to sleep off. She even closed her eyes to relax them while she spoke to Philip. Philip's eyes shone with a strange light as he looked at Carla. The desire to get Carla for himself was still evident in his eyes. In fact, it was oh getting stronger by the day.The fact that Darius had taken her away from him with money infuriated him and made him extremely covetous and jealous. "We still have a chance, Carla." Philip said to break the silence. Carla's bountiful chest rose up and down as she breathed heavily, causing Philip to gulp greedily. Carla frowned agai
