Winston Empire: Battle Between Heirs Chapter 37: His Backbone
Joel's footsteps echoed on the wet pavement as he approached the Hotel. It was an old hotel in the middle of town, it was so quiet and didn't have people walking in and out of it like other big fancy hotels. Joel believes the Brotherhood must have chosen this location as their meeting place because of its quietness and privacy.As he stepped in through the metal door, Joel was greeted by the figures of three figures dressed in expensive suits. They all raise their heads to meet his gaze. "You're late Winston." "I'll prefer being called by my name," Joel answered as he dropped into the leather seat. "I'm sorry, the rain caused a traffic jam.""Welcome Jeol," the familiar man seated in the middle said, his voice smooth and gentle. "It's good to see that you are still on your feet after all that has happened to you." Joel wasn't sure if he was to take the man's words as a complement or a tease. He nodded curtly, his heart racing. "I know you all have wanted this meeting to be held
Winston Empire: Battle Between Heirs Chapter 38: Shocking Find
Joel was waiting for an answer. With the reaction they had on them, he was almost sure they knew who was causing him so much pain. "I'm all ears, gentlemen," he whispered, becoming impatient. "Don't put any ideas in your head yet." One of them was quick to say. "We are only being cautious. We aren't sure yet but with you asking for our help now, we have no choice but to investigate and confirm who is or are after you." "And here I was thinking you already had an answer to my question." Joel said rather loudly. "I hope this investigation won't take forever because I'm running out of time.""I hope you can trust us more than you do now. If you know who the Brotherhood cult is you would go home from here and have a nice sleep. But we'll let you off the hook because you have no idea of our capabilities." "It would be amazing if you could blow my mind because your confidence is off the roof." Joel stood up to pour himself another glass of champagne. He felt like drinking another becau
Winston Empire: Battle Between Heirs Chapter 39: Painful Departure
A few people were talking to the nurse at the reception area. Joel wasn't expecting the hospital to be that busy by 7AM. He sat in a metal chair, his hands clasped tightly in his lap. He stared at the floor, trying to ground himself, breathing slowly to keep himself calm. His head felt heavy from the lack of sleep and even at the moment he felt so anxious because he didn't know what news to expect about his wife, Anna. When the reception area was free of people, he approached the reception desk, his voice barely above a whisper as he stated. "I'm Joel Brown and I'm the husband of one of your patients, Anna Brown." He leaned into the nurse. "I got a message last night that I should be here by 7 AM." The nurse, a middle-aged woman with kind eyes, gave him a brief sympathetic nod. "You can see Dr. Patchman now." Gesturing toward a door down the hall. Joel gave her kind smile before scurrying away. His heart raced as he walked down the corridor, his footsteps echoing against t
Winston Empire: Battle Between Heirs Chapter 40: In Progress
A week later Joel had rushed over to meet the Brotherhood as soon as they called. This time at their official meeting point. He was already a part of them so he was given the main address to where the Brotherhood converged for their meetings. He had come to them in desperation, and now he was about to find out what the Brotherhood had done to give him what he desperately needed. The last time they met at the old hotel, he asked them for help and they promised to get back to him in less than a week. He was being hopeful and the news had come earlier that morning: the charges against him for Xavier's death had been dropped and the media had declared him innocent. He rejoiced for a moment before Albert came in to tell him about the meeting. He was happy with the outcome but he couldn't dismiss the suspicious thoughts his mind harbored. When Joel entered the chamber, the leaders of the Brotherhood were already waiting. Five men sat around a circular table. Their faces were unreadab

Six months had passed and Joel had found a way to survive all that has happened to him. Now he was standing in his lavish living room, surrounded by friends and colleagues celebrating his win; the immense success of Winston Successes. The company's turnaround was nothing short of miraculous and Joel was the man of the hour. Being the end of the year, It is a great time and season to celebrate such a winAs he mingled with the guests, a familiar face approached him. It was Clark, a close friend. He met Clark in Mexico years ago. Clark only recently moved to Florida three months ago and has really been a good friend. "Joel, I am beyond shocked. How did you do it?" he said, his eyes flashed with curiosity. "When I came over to Florida, you were at the brink of disaster and now…this" A little smile appeared on Joel's lips. "Honestly, Clark, I can't explain the effect my suffering had on me. I can remember being determined not to allow whoever was out to get me to win." "I envy you,
Winston Empire: Battle Between Heirs Chapter 42: Questionable Union
Joel sat in his office beaming with excitement as he discussed his upcoming engagement with Emma. He looked like someone who had fallen in love all over again. He flipped his pen continuously on his desk while smiling and speaking excitedly. Albert couldn't help but take in the new Joel. He had to do what he had to do to get Joel to his senses months ago, but Joel behaved like he was reborn and triumphed through his sufferings. He doesn't even talk about Anna much but he hears from the maid that they've seen him on several occasions staring at a picture of hers. There's no doubt he's still in love with her. Albert was happy to see him as a new man but he was worried and he was determined to speak to Joel about the matter. The moment Joel ended the phone, Albert dropped into a seat and pulled himself forward. "Sir, are you sure about this?"Joel's smile disappeared as he put on a straight face. "What do you mean, Albert?""You've only just known this lady, Emma. And now you are ru
Winston Empire: Battle Between Heirs Chapter 43: Unaware
Joel and Emma were enjoying a lavish dinner at one of the fanciest restaurants in town, the Chez Pierre. Joel sipped his wines and smiled back at Emma. He couldn't help but admire how beautiful she looked tonight. "I could keep staring at you forever." Joel leaned in and whispered. Emma turned away shyly. "You flatter me alot." "That's no flatter, babe. You're beautiful and I'm sure you're going to bear me a handsome son." She leaned closely and stretched her hand to caress one of his hands lying on the table. "You have nothing to worry about. A handsome son you shall get." They both laugh and continue to savor their exquisite meal, and when Joel looked up from his meal to speak, their conversation quickly turned to their social circle. Emma's eyes sparkled with excitement. "I think after the wedding, we should have a dinner party and invite at least twenty people," "Twenty?" Joel raised a brow. "I was thinking more like five or six close friends. At most ten." "Come on,
Winston Empire: Battle Between Heirs Chapter 43: The Lies She Told
The doctor was trying to explain to Joel further about Emma's refusal to speak up after she was asked some questions regarding her fake pregnancy but he was too impatient and enraged. Joel stormed into the hospital room. "Emma we need to talk," he growled, his voice reverberating through the room. Emma tried getting away from him "I can explain,""Explain what?" He yelled. "How you never had asthma or how you lied about being pregnant." The doctor tried to intervene. "Sir, I think this is best done away from the surroundings. But Joel was unstoppable. He fired at the doctor. "You can't tell me what and what not to do here."The doctor had to take a step back to avoid any confrontations with Joel. Joel lunged at Emma and gripped her neck and pushed her against the wall. "Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you right now. " He snarled, tightening his grip on her neck. "I'm sorry….I wanted to be yours so badly that I had to lie about the pregnancy. And I didn't want to distu
