'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

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

    Philip wanted nothing more than to wring Madam Felicia's neck in anger. But at the same time he felt like he had another chance to prove himself. Weren't the Morris family a bunch of greedy people? He knew that much at least. "You're trying to compete with Darius?" Madam Felicia asked Philip with an interested gaze. Even though she was just disregarding Philip a moment ago, money was enough to turn the tables around. Wasn't it so?Philip felt a bit nervous. Truthfully, he was actually feeling a complex of different emotions. The one that stood out the most though; was his ego. The same ego that was undergoing bruising and that he was trying to protect so badly. "You are aware of what Darius did aren't you?" She continued again as she crossed her hands across her lap. "He gifted us quite the amount of money." She said, almost licking her lips in the process. A staggering amount of ten billion dollars was not little in any way. Even an idiot knew that. "Yes, I know that he tried to

    Such a statement was not so easily made by just anyone. Only the truly rich folks really had the guts to even think of saying that kind of thing. Philip knew that there was a certain status that one has to attain before they could receive the right to talk in such a manner. He had never even heard his father speak those words before. But now, it seemed he hadn't underestimated the wealth that waited for them. It was time for them to act that boldly. "Did you hear that?" Philip asked with a certain smugness that amused madam Felicia. She returned his smug grin with a shining pair of eyes of get own. She was really interested bro hear what Philip was about to say. "To show you that my family isn't poor compared to that filthy bastard. He has decided to double the money that Darius gave you!" Philip said, his nose pointing into the air and his arms akimbo. He himself didn't realize when his posture had subconsciously changed. "That's impossible." Carla replied sharply. Philip turned

    It was Carla's parents who had replied. Madam Felicia had actually called them while she spoke to Philip and they heard the whole conversation. Of course, they were delighted at the way Madam Felicia handled it all. If Philip had any brains, he would do something about it before Darius heard of it all. This was what they intended. "It is amazing how one child can be bring such good luck to our family." Madam Felicia said, smiling to herself with pure satisfaction. "You did well in producing such a fine young woman for our family." She added, complimenting Carla's parents for giving birth to Carla. "Haha, it's the destiny of this family to be great." Carla's mother replied. ***~GBAM!~"Dad! You have to do something about this!" Philip demanded as he barged into his father's office.Mr Churchill almost jumped out of his seat when his door was knocked open in such a bang. "Philip!"
