"Jeremy, your friend," Olivia added "What!" all three men said in unison. "Why will Jeremy take over my company?" Ethan said and pulled out his phone to call Jeremy "What are you doing, Ethan," Mr Carter seeing Ethan was on his phone "Calling Jeremy," Ethan replied and brought the phone to his ears "No need son. He would not answer," Mr Carter said putting both hands into his pocket. "How did you know?" Ethan questioned with a frown bringing his hand down after the phone had rung severally but no one answered. "It is complicated. Let's all go home and I will tell you. Olivia is already tired," Mr Caryer suggested and Ethan nodded pulling Olivia with him. They all head back to the car. Ethan sat in the back seat with Olivia and Mr Carter in the co-driver seat with Andrews behind the wheel. Andrews brought the car to live and headed for the main road. Olivia rested her head on Ethan's shoulders and Ethan wrapped his hands around her. Mr Carter asked Andrews to drive to the p
"Before I met Olivia's mother, I was a con artist, just like Mr Green," Mr Carter said and Andrews and Ethan's jaw dropped. "I was raised in the orphanage but they schooled me to a senior high level. I don't know what happened to my parents but that was something I was not interested in so I never bothered to find out. Life as it is was already difficult. I needed to survive after running away from the orphanage. The treatment there was bad. I could not get any proper job and ended up living off people either by asking or stealing," Mr Green narrated "I met Mr Green, also a teenager like my life. He had lived on the streets longer than me who just run away from the orphanage. He taught me everything I knew about con. We were making good money so I never saw anything wrong with it. I lived this life for a year. One day, Mr Green came to me talking about a big con," Mr Carter narrated; ******** A couple of years back ************** "Hey, Carter," came Mr Green's voice "Green?" Mr
"Martin was in the hospital. I didn't know he was from a worthy family. Everything was pinned on me and I was sentenced. As for Mr Green, he vanished into thin air," "Okay, so what did Mr Martin mean by his statement?" Ethan asked looking at Mr Carter. "When I was finally released from prison, I had lost it all. Our little hideout was gone. No shelter, nothing. All my efforts to get a decent job proved futile because I was an ex-convict," Mr Carter continued. "I walked into a restaurant one day hoping to get some food to eat after stealing some decent clothes from someone's dryline," Mr Carter narrated. "I sat behind one of the tables and a waiter walked up to me. I placed my order and enjoyed my mail. When it was time to pay, I excused myself and went to the washroom with the hope of running away using the window. I succeeded but before I could run off, I came face to face with Ms Williams, Olivia's mother," Mr Carter narrated and Ethan raised his brow "She was a waitress at the
"So now what do we do? How do we recover what we have lost?" Ethan asked."I have a plan," Andrews said after being silent for a while."What do you have in mind?" Mr Carter asked and Ethan moved his gaze to Andrews, both waiting to hear what Andrews would say. Andrews leaned forward and shared the plan he had in mind. Ethan and Mr Carter listened attentively."What do you think?" Andrews asked their opinion after sharing his plan with them. "That will work but it means Olivia would have to keep going back to the office," Mr Carter said."I don't like the idea of Olivia going back to the office. I lost her before, I don't want to lose her again. So what other options do we have?" Ethan asked"We can't get a new person employed and neither if you can go there either. That leaves us with Olivia," Andrews explained and Ethan lowered his head. "It's late, let's discuss this further tomorrow. I like your idea but I don't want to endanger Olivia too," Mr Carter added his voice "That is
"Mr Carter," Jeremy said looking at Ethan from head to toe."Mr Gustav," Ethan said looking at Jeremy with a frown."I understand I was not fair to you but that is no reason to treat my woman badly and take over my company," Ethan said sounding a bit angry."Really?" Jeremy said with a frown"Is that what you think this is?" Jeremy added"A revenge? You think I am getting back at you?" Jeremy questioned standing just a distance away from Ethan who had now placed both hands in his pocket not bothered about his casual appearance in a public space. "So tell me. What is it then? I know I judged you wrongly and put you behind bars for a long time. When I found out the truth, I came over to get you the same day but someone came ahead of me the same day," Ethan explained "I see. I am glad you found the truth that quick but sorry someone was faster than you," Jeremy said sarcastically."Ethan, you know what? Let's not do this here. This place used to be yours and you don't want your employe
"I think, the chip I put inside Ethan's phone has been destroyed," Andrews said slowly at the realization."Good evening?" came the voice of three guards from behind Davis and Andrews."Our boss would like to speak with you," said one of the guards pointing a gun at Davis and Andrews.Andrews and Davis walked towards the apartment with their hands in the air as the three guards followed them with a gun.Inside Ethan and Jeremy were sitting opposite each other with a gun pointing at Ethan and Ethan's phone dismantled."If you have balls why don't you just kill me," Ethan said to Jeremy with a frown"Not yet Ethan. I have two more guests I invited to this meeting," Jeremy said and the front down was pushed open. Andrews and Davis entered the room. Ethan was surprised but he remained composed at Andrews and Davis sat down next to him."Are they the guest you were waiting for?" Ethan asked"They will be here soon," Jeremy said and the front door opened again. A lady entered wearing dark
Ethan sat behind the wheel and drove out of the compound wondering if he should go to Olivia's apartment or the penthouse. He occasionally checked to see if he was being followed but he saw nothing. Ethan decided to call his father to inform him about his mother leaving the hospital where she was receiving treatment. He connected his phone Bluetooth to the car and dialled his father's number. "Hello Dad," Ethan said "Hello Ethan, how did it go?" Mr Carter said "Dad, did Olivia come to the penthouse?" Ethan asked ignoring his question. "No, why?" Mr Carter asked "I am coming over," Ethan said and ended the call. Ethan checked the cars behind him from the rearview mirror. He made a turn towards the road leading to the penthouse after ensuring he had not been followed. He drove into the garage and stepped out of the car after parking. He walked towards the elevator wondering what was happening to Olivia. "I am not going to lose Olivia over some properties," Ethan thought as he st
"We have a swarm of reporters at your gate trying to get in," the guard reported and Jeremy frown"Ethan, what is your game?" Jeremy thought almost crushing the guard's phone in his hands. There was a knock on the door drawing Jeremy's attention to the front door. One of the servants quickly went to answer the door. "Jeremy, what is going on here?" Mr Green asked entering the living room looking angry with Mrs Carter trailing behind him together with Jacqueline. "I don't know yet but I am sure Ethan pull a fast one on me," Jeremy replied dismissing the guard after giving him back his phone and turning off the TV. "I told you that Ethan guy can't be trusted but you wouldn't believe me. We need an aggressive move. Where is that Olivia girl," Mr Green asked. "She is still inside the room," Jeremy replied "You have Olivia here? Perfect, time to slap the shit out of her for touching my husband," Jacqueline said taking her hand gloves off. "No one is touching that girl," Jeremy objec
