A couple of minutes ago, when Robert had excused himself to receive his call, Rachel's phone also rang. She simply sat down and accepted the call. It was a similar call to the call that her husband Robert had received. The caller was informing her that a big beauty care shop had been purchased in her name. That all she had to do was to come the next day to sign the documents and claim the rights of ownership. Rachel thought she didn't hear clearly and told James to turn off the music. Unlike Robert, she didn't really think this to be a prank call. But it was still unbelievable. Was this her pure imagination?But when the call was ended she received images and even videos of the shop and the documents she needed to sign. It was then that Robert walked back in with a dazed look on his face as well. They were both quiet at first. Then a few minutes later, another call came in to Robert's phone. He accepted immediately. This time it was a man that spoke. "Good afternoon Mr Robert, I
Darius's Family had been having a great time recently. After the surprise of the company and the shop that Robert and Rachel got. It took a while for them to adjust. It was a busy time for them.First they had to get familiar with the facilities and the equipments, they also had to learn the processes and also become familiar with the staff of both places.After the initial suprise, they were somehow thinking it was still a prank until a few days passed and nothing happened. Philip even showed up in the company and the shop to see by himself. Robert and Rachel had given him VIP treatment and we're following Philip around during his visit that one would think they were his servants.But everything only made Philip more disturbed. He was still very curious about who had gone to such lengths to impersonate him.When he was leaving them, he told his spy there to keep more watchful eye on them and observe if there was anybody strange who could be the mastermind behind everything.He even
'That was awesome.'Philip thought to himself as he stirred awake and sat up on the edge of his bed. He was feeling good, he didn't know why. Maybe it was the dream he had, but he couldn't recall anything about it. He just knew that it was about him and Carla. So his dopamine levels were a little high this morning. He was in a good mood.He let out a small chuckle as he picked a side bedframe picture of Carla and caressed it."Good morning love." He whispered to it. "You'll be mine one day, I just know it." He said to it confidently. But the Carla in the portrait just maintained her slight smile that seemed a bit forced. She wasn't a fan of pictures so taking one had been quite of an hassle for her.Philip disregarded it. Whether it was a forced or a genuine smile, it didn't matter to him. She was beautiful without question. She was giving him a tough time in courting her but he wasn't ready to give up yet. He only had more passion whenever he looked at her picture or saw her physica
'What a nice weather today.. what should I do next?' Philip wondered as he headed for his car.It was a cloudy weather today but it didn't seem like it would rain. Philip strolled the walkway and passed by some beautiful ladies, he couldn't help but look at them in fascination. He might have even approached some of them but he was still in Carla's place of work. He was trying to make a good impression so he couldn't allow any more rumors.Some people were also throwing glances his way as they remembered his face from the events that occurred not too long ago. Philip noticed them but ignored their gazes and kept moving.Seeing Alicia bad the way she ignored him had rang a sour note in his mind so he wanted to do something to keep his light mood up."Mr Philip.." Philip's blooming smile froze on his face as he heard the familiar voice. He turned back and saw Darius behind him. It caught him unawares. Somehow, he had been hoping to avoid Darius.But here he was. Philip scanned Darius fro
"Hah..." It was a tired sigh that fell from Maxwell's mouth after hearing Darius' intentions.He suddenly had a bad premonition. "Wait a minute young master..." He blurted out with his arm outstretched as if to stop Darius from moving. Darius looked up from his computer that he was browsing through. He was curious what was going through Maxwell's head that made him have such a reaction."What is the matter, Max?" He asked"Young Master... Please don't tell me this is going to be a scam business?" Maxwell asked in doubt.Darius laughed. "You're so smart Maxwell." Then he smiled."Naturally, you didn't think I'd actually work with them did you? This is revenge Maxwell, not an actual business." His gaze turned hard. "They have to suffer consequences in any way."Maxwell released another sigh.. "just take it easy on them Young Master. His father has nothing to do with Philip's actions." He tried to plead for them."Is that what you think? That he's actually innocent?" Darius scoffed. "The
The previous day. After Maxwell arranged the meeting between the Ladrak Company and the Charlton Company."Philip, I have an assignment for you to carry out." Philip's Father said the moment Philip received his phone call. It was immediately after speaking with Maxwell that Mr Churchill called his son with a rare excitement that he didn't usually show.Philip felt a shiver run through his body unexpectedly. He had paled when he first saw his phone and noticed that it was his Father calling him. He assumed his Father had somehow discovered how he treated Darius earlier morning and he feared he was in for some tongue lashing and maybe even some form of punishment from his father.But hearing the tone at which his father spoke right, he naturally had doubts. He seldom saw his father excited about something so he wondered what it was."An assignment? Dad.. what do you want me to do?" Philip asked his father in reply."There's a call that came in to me now. The Charlton Company has a busin
"Knock! Knock!""You may come in!" Darius's voice resounded through the doors to the person knocking on the other side. In the next moment the door opened and then.."Click! Clop! Click!"Darius instinctually looked up from his table to look the person who paraded into his office. Then Alicia walked into his office with a sophisticated knee length sheath dress in a deep navy blue color that clung to her attractive figure."Good morning Darius." Alicia greeted Darius with a pleasant smile as her radiant skin reflected the morning sunlight that peeked into the office from the windows. It was like an angel had walked in."Good morning Alicia. I trust you had a great night. Sorry for the short notice..." Darius said indifferently. Even though his marriage with Carla wasn't in a good state, Darius was not fazed by the lovely appearance of Alicia. She was beautiful, yes, but he wasn't sexually attracted to her. If you asked Darius to describe the relationship between two of them, he would s
"Where's the CEO?"Philip was asking this immediately. He knew Maxwell was not the CEO. As the CEO of such a company would not address him as 'Sir' or at least as respective as Maxwell was in addressing him.Secondly, the seat on the top of the temple was empty. It was obvious that it was the CEO's seat. And no one was currently seated there.Part of Philip was thinking that the CEO was waiting for him to enter before be came inside to seat down and another part of him was thinking that it wasn't the case. He doubted the CEO was going to be present in the meeting so he had blurted out this question which was a bit out of courtesy.Apart from the attendants standing around in the room and the other two people that were part of the Charlton Company, both Alicia and Maxwell laughed inwardly with a faint smile coating their faces. Alicia was even very close to laughing at Philip.Before Philip could ask another question in his confusion Maxwell cleared his throat again and answered him."

It had been a few weeks since Darius and his family had been reunited. They were still trying to adjust to their new normal, but they were all doing well.One night, Darius and Carla were sitting in the living room, talking. Darius decided to tell Carla about Alicia."I've been meaning to tell you about her," he said. "She was my last lover."Carla was surprised. She had never heard Darius talk about Alicia before."What happened?" she asked.Darius sighed. "It's a long story," he said. "But I'll try to make it short."He told Carla about how he and Alicia had met. They had been working together at a law firm, and they had quickly fallen in love. They had been together for two years, and they had even talked about getting married.But then, one day, Alicia had disappeared. She had left her job without saying goodbye, and she had never contacted Darius again.Darius had been devastated. He had tried to find her, but he had never been able to track her down."I never knew why she left,"
In the midst of their busy lives, Darius and Carla always made time for the simple pleasures that brought them joy. They relished in the everyday moments that kept their love vibrant and their bond strong.On weekends, they would take leisurely walks through the city's parks, hand in hand. The gentle breeze ruffling Carla's hair and the warmth of Darius's presence made every step feel like a cherished memory in the making. They would stop to admire blooming flowers, sit on park benches to people-watch, and share heartfelt conversations about their dreams and aspirations.One summer afternoon, Darius surprised Carla with a picnic by the riverside. They spread out a cozy blanket on the grass, their laughter harmonizing with the gentle sounds of the flowing water. They indulged in their favorite foods, stealing bites from each other's plates and playfully feeding each other."I used to think that my life was all about power and wealth," Darius confessed, his eyes locked on Carla's. "But
Darius and Carla stood on the platform, waving goodbye to Jasmine as she boarded the train. Darius was holding Jasmine's purse, which he had given her as a graduation gift. It was a beautiful leather purse, with a gold clasp and Jasmine's initials on it.Darius watched as Jasmine settled into her seat and the train pulled away. He felt a pang of sadness as he realized that she was leaving home for the first time."She'll be fine," Carla said, putting her arm around Darius and squeezing his hand. "She's a strong girl."Darius nodded. "I know," he said. "But it's still hard to see her go."They watched the train until it disappeared into the distance, and then they turned and walked back to their car.As they were walking, Darius noticed a group of men lurking nearby. They were all wearing dark clothes and sunglasses, and they looked out of place in the busy train station.Darius had a bad feeling about these men, but he didn't say anything to Carla. He didn't want to worry her.They go
Darius and Carla had been married for two years, and they were living the dream. They had traveled the world, and they were madly in love.One day, Carla came home from the doctor with a big smile on her face."Guess what?" she said. "I'm pregnant!"Darius was over the moon. He had always wanted to be a dad, and he knew that Carla would be an amazing mom.They spent the next few months getting ready for the baby. They painted the nursery, bought a crib, and read books about parenting.Finally, the day came when Carla went into labor. Darius was by her side the whole time, and he held her hand as she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.They named her Jasmine, and she was the light of their lives. Darius and Carla loved her more than anything in the world, and they would do anything for her.One day, when Jasmine was about a year old, Darius and Carla were taking her to the park. They were sitting on a bench, enjoying the sunshine, when they saw a group of kids playing nearby.One of t

Their journey had become a beacon of hope for those who had lost their way, a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there was a chance for renewal.As the years passed, Darius and Carla's commitment to each other deepened. They faced challenges and hardships with grace, drawing strength from their shared experiences. Together, they ventured into philanthropy, using their resources to support causes close to their hearts.Carla's passion for art evolved into a platform for social change. She used her art to raise awareness about important issues, shedding light on topics that were often overlooked. Her exhibitions became not only a celebration of creativity but also a call to action, inspiring others to make a difference.Darius, too, was committed to making a positive impact. He channeled his business acumen and resources into init
As Darius and Carla embarked on this new chapter of their lives, they did so with a sense of adventure and a willingness to embrace the unknown. They had learned that life was unpredictable, and their experiences had taught them the importance of living in the present.One of their shared dreams was to travel the world together. They began by exploring the beauty of their own city, visiting landmarks, museums, and cafes. Holding hands as they walked through the bustling streets, they discovered hidden gems and created memories that would last a lifetime.Their travels extended beyond their city, taking them to distant lands with unfamiliar cultures and languages. They navigated bustling markets, indulged in local cuisines, and marveled at the diversity of the world around them. Each destination brought its own set of challenges and delights, strengthening their bond even further.One particular trip led them to a small coastal village. The sound of crashing waves and the salty breeze

Lives were transformed, and the city began to mend its wounds, rebuilding what had been broken.Amidst this atmosphere of change, one particular story captured the hearts of the people—Darius and Carla's tale of rekindled love.

Darius and Carla walked hand in hand, their smiles radiant enough to light up the darkest corners of the city. The past no longer h
Mr Churchill refused to show his face anywhere. He only involved himself with his lawyer and tried to get rid of all the evidence that Darius had dug out on him or try to disprove them.The only places he visited was his company and then he would secretly meet with his lawyer.Mr Churchill searched for his son Philip but thsre was no sign of him anywhere he searched. He only knew that Philip had gone to meet Darius on his own and that Darius had gotten him arrested.Mr Churchill wailed for his son in his heart. Didn't he know what Darius did to his family when they crossed him?As much as Mr Churchill was angry and pissed off, he didn't go looking for Darius to ask him about the whereabouts of his son.
