Later that evening at Darius’s house, Darius was relaxing after the whole thing that happened with his wife.There was a faint smile on his face as he reminisced. Earlier when he had Alicia had left Carla in the restaurant and entered her car, they both burst out in laughter. The plan had gone very well. Then Darius thanked her for the help and after discussing the next phase of the plan Darius left her car and she drove off.He picked up his phone and dialed a number. After ringing a few times the call was accepted. And a male voice that Darius recognised spoke. “Hello, who is this?”“Good evening Mr Philip. This is Darius speaking. I’m calling to inquire about the job you promised sir.” Darius said with a smug grin.Yes, the person he called was the same Philip that wanted to court his wife Carla. Darius knew that Philip could not get any job for anyone at the Charlton Company, not without applying for it the normal way at least. So he wanted to pressure and not let him rest or wrig
Darius kept saying misleading things about Philip. It was as though he was praising Philip. People who heard what he was saying would feel as though Philip had become a philanthropist.All the people in the VIP room had shining eyes as they listened intently to what Darius was saying. It looked like they were all ready to pounce on Philip at any moment and seek favours from him.Darius just felt pure joy in his heart. He felt good as he saw Philip throbbing silently in anger. The plump man had turned red from his head downwards in anger. But he couldn’t do anything or say otherwise. He had a reputation to keep! So he was trying to force a smile at the people while looking for a way to escape from there.In Philip’s mind he was just imagining how many ways he could use to torture and kill Darius for what he was doing.After a while Darius felt contented at having drawn much attention to Philip so he just sat down and helped himself to a glass of water. Philip’s eyes were screaming ‘I’l
“Darius? What are you doing here?” Carla shouted in surprise. Darius just smiled wryly without answering. “Come here right now and explain yourself.” She shouted at him.Meanwhile her grandmother and other family members were furrowing their brows as they glared at Darius as if they wanted to give him another round of beating. But before Darius could even open his mouth Carla’s mum suddenly spoke with a raised voice...“Son of a bitch, you really have the guts to show up here after the nonsense you did yesterday?” She looked at Darius in disgust as her husband also tipped in his own insults with his low voice. Soon all the family members were all saying one thing after the other, insulting Darius and his mother for being poor. Carla was silent throughout and didn’t even say a word about anything.Darius was just sneering inwardly at them as he noted all their actions and words towards him. He was yet to start his revenge on them but for now he wanted to still play along. He just took
No one could even reply Carla. They just stared blankly.Meanwhile Philip himself was in a daze, what was this? He had never expected someone to be this good. Not even the geniuses he knew could compare to Darius in any regard. That’s how good and exceptional his credentials were. They were also stamped and signed by qualified people so the documents were verified and legitimate.Philip broke out in a sweat. Darius being so good was making it unbearable for him. He himself was never a bright person...Scratch that, if he doesn’t get a job for Darius at that company then he would be suspected. Philip almost held his head in frustration. ‘If he’s this good and brilliant then why is he still poor?! This is clearly enough to make him into a manager of some company of he can even start his own company!’ Philip was just considering different things.Before he could finalize his thoughts and get himself together, Darius pressed him...“So Mr Philip, why do you think about my performance? Is
hilip was still seated between the two elderly women. They were all still a little surprised at what had happened a few minutes ago when Carla dragged Darius into her room. They were even wondering what was going on inside the room.Philip was much worse. He had just been mocked by Darius and didn't even have a chance to retort at his words before Carla (who was his crush) dragged Darius into her room. He wasn't quite sure what to feel or think.As he sat beside the two women, his legs felt like they would carry him and run to Carla's room to see what was going on but he forced himself to sit, his eyes almost wandering to the bountiful chest of Hannah that still had a charm to it but he felt a gaze and saw Carla's father narrowing his eyes at him. He quickly adjusted himself and sat up.Just then his phone rang. He wanted to smash it to the ground but when he saw the caller ID his hands got shaky and he felt a chill up his spine. It was his Father who had just called him. He knew some
Philip began marching through the hall.He didn't even realize that he had drawn the gazes of a few people as he was marching towards Carla and Darius. These were some of the those who had seen the video about him and Darius. The video had widely spread so it made both of them quite popular.As he drifted closer, he now noticed that Carla was almost crying for some reason. He assumed it was Darius but he dismissed it immediately, Darius wouldn't be the one to do such and still be seated next to her while obviously comforting her.Carla looked up and saw Philip heading towards her and she sniffled with a brief sigh of relief. Philip saw the hope and expectation she had in him as their eyes met and he began to smile nervously. He knew he wasn't a reliable person but he had to smile to lift Carla's mood. But Darius said nothing and was just looking with a bit of mischief in his eyes. Philip looked at the face that was still a bit swollen and scoffed internallyHe stopped in in front of C
Philip started hearing different whispers as he picked up his phone and was scrolling through his contacts while thinking of whom to call."Isn't that Philip from the Churchill family?" A voice asked in a low tone among the crowd."Yeah, his Family owns the Ladrak Company. His Father is one of the richest men in the city." Another low voice added."So he's a rich kid... Can he back up his boastful claim with results? He looked so confident but now he's shaking.." A young man replied in an attempt to keep his voice low but failed to do so.Philip heard all the whispers being spoken around him but cut them off and steeled his mind. He couldn't afford to lose the confidence he had summoned up and made call.Obviously his bluff did not pay off and he kept making calls one after the other. Alicia and Darius had mocking expressions on their faces while Carla was starting to get anxious as the seconds and the minutes ticked by. She was confused by what was happening at the moment.'Why is h
Darius stared absentmindedly at the three people with no form of happiness or excitement at their arrival."Hello, son." His Father greeted with a smile. And his stepmother took him by the arm and pulled him into a tight hug. "Darius dear. How have you been? I and your Father misses you." She looked fiercely into Darius' face up close which made Darius uncomfortable."See, even your stepbrother James misses your company. You two haven't related for a very long time. You should visit us once in a while Darius. No one leaves family alone." His stepmother said to him with the face of a concerned mother.Anyone witnessing this scene would think Darius ran away from home and had been avoiding his family... Well, it was close to that but it wasn't out of rebellion that Darius stayed away. No, it was because these people made life miserable for him.As they were all trying to get mushy and all with Darius he suddenly had a reminder of everything he had faced from this people.His father, Rob
