My Rival's Desire Uncle Melo's Secret 2
"Ok, I'm all ears. What kind of investment are we talking about?" Linda asked attentively."Casino." "What? Casino?" Linda asked in utter bamboozlement. "Hold up, which among the two of them sort to buy or build a casino or invest in a casino.... Whatever?" Linda leaned forward."Uncle Melo. He wanted to buy a particular piece of land and erect a Casino?" Linda shook her head. "I don't get how this connects us to anything, or how it might be related to his death. I see why the cops slashed it out. But what I want to know is; why would a man like Uncle Melo want a Casino. He could build anything he wished, a hospital…even a church. But why a casino?" Linda asked."Those are questions nobody thought of asking.""Let me guess, your Father was not d'accord with the idea?" "Yes, that is what Mr McGraw said in his statement. My father argued that a Casino was not a bad idea to generate money, but it did not just suit their reputation." Brant explained."But what was more interesting was t

"That might look like any ordinary emerald or gem, but taking a closer look, it isn't just any gemstone. That is a Painite." Randy explained."A pain… what?" Linda asked."A painite," Randy repeated patiently. He took the laptop and played his fingers on the keyboard.He turned the screen so that she was able to view it."A Painite, the rarest and most expensive gemstone to ever be discovered…." She read it out loud."Hold up! I have tons of questions, but first, how the hell would something that rare magically appear in this part of the country? And whoever discovered it, why did the person not mine it? And how does it involve erecting a Casino?" Linda bombarded both men with a queue of questions."Your secretary is not on seat sir?" Randy turned to Brantley, totally ignoring Linda's bucket of questions."Just answer my question!" She yelled.Both men looked at her as though she was losing it."She probably went out to grab a bite, check if she is back and let her know not to interr

Linda took a sip from her glass."Painite is formed by the combination of two elements that would naturally not occur together in nature, Boron and Zirconium. That's what makes it rare. But having it being discovered in this part of the world, is almost an impossibility because we barely have rocks here, especially in Limesville."Linda listened attentively."So I think that chemical depositions from the laboratory years back, could have provoked the strange occurrence of the two unrelatable elements." "I can not believe that all that chemistry in school is really coming in handy right now, I do not even remember which group of the periodic table Boron falls under." Linda complained.Brant chuckled, "do not beat yourself up about it, I am here to remember for you. All these details are just for us to get into uncle Melo's mind. I think he might have figured all this out too." "How was he planning to extract it?" Linda asked."It can be mined using seismic charge launchers or mining l
My Rival's Desire Brantley's Rebellion
"Just what the hell is going on?" Mr White roared."You know that you are overreacting right now, right?" With his hands in his pocket, Brant strolled majestically in his father's office, walking towards the booze in the office bar."This is still my business and you do not have any right to take such a drastic decision without my concern! Did any part of you think that you should talk to me first before making such a decision?" "She is a major shareholder of the company, she has every right to be part of the board." Brant explained softly. He poured himself a glass of soft white wine. Today was no day to over drink. Just a little boost of alcohol would do.Despite his father's anger and yelling, Brantley on the other hand, was in no mood to waste calories on such a trivial matter. "That is what I am most worried about, how did she manage to get hold of such a huge percentage of the company's shares?" Mr White was at the verge of exploding."You should not be worried about that righ
My Rival's Desire Different Shades of Mila 1
"Son of a bitch! So it was you?" Mila cursed.She hurried home immediately after having dinner with Pops and Carlson. There wasn't anything suspicious about either of them but she just could not eat with a short spoon¹ around Carl.She was eager to get home and listen to what Linda, Randolph and Brantley were talking about at length, in Brantley's office.She picked the shock of her life time with all the revelations and the information she got from the three."Why are both of you looking into my family's affairs?" She asked no one in particular, with a light frown on her face.She decided to spend the night in her apartment, afterall, Brantley was the one who reconstructed her house. She just could not trust him to be stupid enough not to plant eyes and ears in the bungalow. She had to take extra precautions.She walked to the kitchen when the toaster beeped. She placed the ready toast on a plate and walked back to her lone couch to continue watching the video.That night, she could

"Just open the door and I'll make your wish come true." Brant teased. He spoke over the phone, while simultaneously knocking on the door.'Shit!' she cussed inwardly, she looked at herself in the mirror. She already had her blonde wig on and had started doing her nose mould, 'how the hell am I gonna take this off? He cannot see me like this!' she cried inwardly.She took a deep breath, contemplating on what to do, while choosing to ignore Brantley's teasing and disturbing persistent knocking."Oh damn!" She exclaimed out loud just when she was about to pull off her wig."What?" Brant paused and asked. Of course, the call was still connected so both of them could get each other.She ignored him. She just remembered that Brantley already knew about Phoebe Rogers, in fact, he met Phoebe Rogers yesterday.She marched to the door and pulled it open, transferring aggression on my poor door."Phoebe?" Brant called out unconsciously."What do you want this morning and how the hell did you kno

"You categorically refused me from visiting these angels, how do you feel about that?" Brant verbally attacked Mila as they drove back to the office."What the hell are you talking about? Aren't we just from the orphanage?" Mila furrowed her brows in confusion."On Sunday, remember? If I did not show up this morning and if Carol did not fall ill, then…" "What is the big deal in it by the way?" Mila just could not comprehend his level of pettiness."The big deal is that I want to know more about you." "I told you, the more you know about me, that is the closer you get to your grave." She said coldly."I am capable of taking good care of myself, and I can protect you too." "You cannot protect me!" "Ev…" he started."Just, cut it already, ok? It's pointless going back and forth with you about the same damn topic." She cut in."Jeez! you are always gloomy!" He murmured, but she caught it.She lightly punched his tummy. "I'm not gloomy!""Ouch!" He held his stomach with one hand while
