“B… Blake, no, Mr. Elon, it wasn’t my idea, please, you have to understand. I don’t have the strength to go against the more powerful. How could I want to do that to Sara? She’s like a daughter to me, but I had no choice in the matter.” Mr. Wilson said, close to tears.“Who?” Was all that Blake asked coldly, looking at Mr. Wilson.“It’s the Shuler family. Mr. Eric Shuler called me and arranged a large sum of money if I could arrange for her to be defiled, with evidence to prove the act. He knew that she was close to me and worked for me.” Mr. Wilson said quickly not to leave out anything.“Did he state why this was to be done?”“No. I also didn’t ask, and I only contacted my friend at the Lotus Suites knowing that he… specialized in that type of deal.” He then gulped before finishing his sentence seeing the anger in Blake’s eyes.“Thank you, that will be all. I shall let you leave now. One thing, I would leave Swanville and the state if I were you and not step back into California aga
Claire opened the door forcefully and entered the lobby. When the waitress greeted them, she asked if they needed a table for two. Claire refused and stated she was here for someone and walked past her. Claire walked straight to Blake and Sara’s table. Blake saw her walking towards them and smiled broadly at her.Blake quickly stood up and introduced her to Sara, so there would be no misunderstandings.“Claire, this is Sara Shuler, the new director of Express Delivery, formally known as Elon Delivery Services. Sara, this is Claire Dalton. We are having a meal to celebrate the new company.” Blake explained, not wanting to state she’s his wife because he knew she hated the thought that he was her husband.“How do you do? I’m Blake’s wife. Is it customary to invite married men to a meal?” Clair said coldly, looking at Sara. She didn’t know why she was feeling this way. It pained her to see Blake having a good time with another woman, and it infuriated her.Sara was surprised when Blake s
“I said if it’s in my power. It’s not in my power to divorce Claire yet, and I still need to understand why her grandfather wanted me to marry her so fast.”“I can’t stand how she berates you like that. What nerve to call you names and belittle you? Why didn’t you stand up to her and tell her off?”“First, I can’t refute some of the things she said, and I owe her and her family for shielding me all this time. It’s complicated, and let’s leave it like that for now.”Sara nodded to discuss this issue for another time. She didn’t want to put more trouble on Blake. There was an incident before they left when they paid for the meal. People gathered around a man on the floor, convulsing and foaming at the mouth. He was thrashing about like he was dying, with his eyes rolling up his head. A woman was kneeling beside him, wailing that the blowfish had poisoned him.“Sob, sob, he took his last bite, becoming like this. He was poisoned. Please help someone help.” The woman in her late thirties
The three began to run without knowing what to do, but before they could escape, Blake had already incapacitated them with a single move. The three slumped onto the floor out cold. Then the sound of sirens was heard in the distance.After taking Blake’s testimony and everyone involved, the police took the trio away. Blake then went to the manager to introduce himself.“Hello, I’m Blake Elon, CEO of Elon Trust. You handled yourself pretty well in that situation by removing the guests before it got out of hand.”“Mr. Elon, no, it was your calm demeanor throughout the time. My name is Joseph Barker, the manager here.” He said, shaking his hand.“Mr. Barker, I look forward to seeing you tomorrow morning at Elon Trust with the rest of the business managers. I will be taking my leave.” After all, this was one of the businesses under Elon Trust. Blake took Sara’s hand and headed out the door.Sara had witnessed all that took place with aw and pride like she was looking at the actions of her
“Ladies, I’m here to pick up my cousin. She still doesn’t know the general area.” Blake said with a smile as they continued to walk toward the group.As they neared the group, they all had the instinct to flee but to where? They all worked under them, and they could be fired anytime. When the trio arrived in front of the group, Trish had already tried to make herself invisible along with the blond-haired man when they greeted them.“Good evening.” They all said together.Blake went up to Trish, looked her into her eyes, and saw the remorseful woman before him. Even though she had a terrible attitude, he could see that she was still a good person and, with the help of his spirit, determined to give her the worst punishment he could give her. Turning towards Sylvia, he asked her one question.“Sylvia, have you decided on your assistant yet?”“No, not yet. I was going to look through some applicants after tomorrow’s meeting.”“Good, let me introduce you to Miss. Trish Hardy, your new ass
“Why didn’t you tell your sister? I’m sure she would have brought you to someplace else.” Blake continued his chores, cleaning the bathroom of all their womanly items.“She said she couldn’t because it would have taken her away from dropping me back off here and getting back to the office,” Tabitha said, still following Blake around the house.“So, you want me to treat you to a seafood meal? No problem. Is tomorrow too late, or do you and your sister have plans?” Blake asked as he continued into his mother-in-law’s room and began to tidy it up.“She can’t go tomorrow because of this big proposal for the company and will be busy the next two days, so I want you to pick me up, and we can have a day together. Mother does love her snacks.” Tabitha said as she handed him some trash from her mother’s room to discard.“Okay, I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning. I have some business to attend to, then we’ll go to lunch, and the afternoon will be free. Is this okay with you?” Blake then continue
“Tabitha Dalton, what shameful accusations. I don’t know where you get that from, but you are never to repeat those things.” Julie was shocked by her daughter’s confession about Blake that she was very displeased with her.“If Miss. Dalton is so unwilling I’m sure many women would not mind being his woman. Who wouldn’t want to be the wife of a business owner.”“Haha, a business owner, you say, what does he know about running a business? That little business will be bankrupt within a month, and see where he is with Elon Trust then.” Julie didn’t have any confidence in Blake and belittled the accomplishment that he had gained. If he becomes successful, it would be more challenging for her daughter to hold someone better like Steve Anderson.“Mom, let’s drop it.” Claire didn’t want to relive the encounter again and wanted to stop the bickering. “It was a misunderstanding.”Blake hadn’t said one word all this time but now understood his mother-in-law. She still wanted Claire to get someo
“I understand, Dad. The liquidation of Emerson Realty went smoothly, and it should be within a week I’ll return.” Steve swirled his drink in his hand, looking out his apartment window.“It’s a shame what happened to that girl’s family. I heard that she got pregnant for that transient. I’m glad that I taught you to use protection, son. Business is a war, and there are always casualties. I look forward to your return.”The father and son ended their conversation, and Steve continued to look out the window. Although he knew he had to give up on Claire, he was stubborn. She was his, the only one that slipped through his fingers and married another. This irritated him to his core, and he decided to get back what was his in the end. At least he could ruin the reputation of her and her family and then abandon her. A plan was forming in his mind on how to go about it, and a sly smile came on his face.“Claire, you will soon know the man you abandoned for that trash, and I will get your virgin
