Chapter 92Author's POV When Carlos stepped into the bar, Frederic was sitting over the counter. He wondered why Carlos returned with the briefcase. “What's wrong? Have you given Seth his own share?”“He asked me to return it to you, when he's not paid fully he doesn't want to work with you. You paid him a bit and took the lion share…” Frederic didn't even allow him to finish his words, he slammed his head on the briefcase. “My son asked you to disrespect me and you had the guts to come do it yourself.”“His words not mine, he asked me to return it and tell you that he's not working with you because you don't pay him what he duly deserves.” Carlos winced in pain, holding his nose up as he realized he was bleeding profusely from his nostrils. “You ingrates. I decided to give you guys a share and he dares to return it. I'll call him right away and if he says otherwise you're dead.” Frederic growled, staring at his gang members who had their attention glued to Carlos and him. “Go ab
Chapter 91Darcy's POV We dropped her off at her junction, and she wore a warm smile at Seth. I didn't exchange words with her. She only watched me plant a kiss on Seth's cheeks, letting her know that Seth was off limits. “Thank you, Seth, for the ride. I'm grateful.” She turned and left. At that moment, I felt like getting out of the car to teach her a lesson because I was the one who offered to give her a lift. She was showing gratitude to Seth when it ought to have been me. “She's insane. I would have made her remember that I was the one who offered to help her and not you.” I hissed, wishing that I hadn't said those words earlier. She would have waited for her ride. “You did great out there. What a perfect act! I wonder why you're not in the entertainment industry. You're a work of art.” Seth said with a loud voice, his hands wrapped around the steering wheel. He was stealing glances at me, waiting for my response. There's one thing about me that keeps me on the edge, when
Chapter 90Seth's POV After the meal I was heading out to see Mr. Matteo and discuss having his help in starting up a company of my own. I know it's so tasking but I'm willing to give it a shot but I don't want him to tell my father about what's going on. I just wish there was another way to do this. Matteo's a risk and he can go straight to my father and ridicule him for letting his son come to him for help and advice after what happened the last time they confronted each other. “Are you going out without me?”“No, why would I?”“Have you forgotten about the auction later tonight?”“I have that in mind, I want to go and look at where my building is and how much I'll be paying for it.”“I should come with you. Two heads are better than one.” She suggested, it wasn't a bad idea but I wasn't ready to take her out of the house and let her stand by my side making deals. “But we're not a couple yet. Don't you think that would be odd?”“Let's fake it then, let them believe that we're a
Chapter 89Seth's POV I turned my back on her while she looked for what she would change into her wardrobe. I should have knocked on the door and waited for her response. “Walking in here with that card, I hope you're the one that wrote it.”“Of course, I didn't give anyone to do it for me. I did it myself with my hand inside the cab.”“I thought you left with an SUV.”*I ran into one old member of the gang. He would have recognized me but Carlos saved the day.” I divulged, giving Carlos the accolades that he deserved. He had some nerves calling me a failure because of the time I'm wasting finding one person. “Because you haven't found me yet. Why don't you tell the world that you've found me? That way you get to leave this hiding bullshit and put your mind at rest.”*Not now, besides my father is busy enjoying the profit he made off the business.” I hissed through my teeth, it wasn't because of her. It was because of Frederic, I trusted him and yet saw what he did to me.I hope C
Chapter 88Author's POV “Why would I ever apologize to Scarlet? Have you ever thought of knowing what a punch from my fist feels like?”“Don't worry about that Seth. Did Darcy put you up to this?” He asked, making sure that Seth listened to every word he said. “Yes she did. I thought that Scarlet was the one that brought me upstairs. Scarlet took the glory for what she did. She genuinely cares about me, I can see that on her face.” Seth replied as he got into the driver's seat while Carlos got into the backseat. “Now you want people to think that I'm your driver when it's supposed to be the other way around.”“You're the one that chooses to drive and I choose to stay in the backseat.” Carlos made his point clear. Seth wrapped the scarf around his neck, covering his mouth and his nose. He wore a cap before turning on the engine of the SUV. Carlos wasn't surprised, he knew that Seth wasn't ready to take any chances and get spotted by anyone.When they arrived at the store, he select
Chapter 87Seth's POV I couldn't believe that I fell for her words. I was stupid enough to have trusted this bitch again, and now she lied to me and made me hurt Darcy. She opened the door slightly, having a view of everything happening. “You lay your hands on me Seth, I'll make sure your father knows about this.” Scarlet threatened, and I held her hair. If her scalp wanted to fall off, I wouldn't mind stitching it back to let her feel the pain all over again. “You want my father to know that you're nothing but a cheap harlot, letting a white man fuck you. You know what his reaction would be and that lowlife of your brother you have in your house. Gracious huh? I don't think you would want to do that.” I chuckled at the end of my words, slamming my right hand across her face again. “I wish I did.” “You can go ahead, but apply some makeup to cover the marks on your face, dirty slut. Guards!!! I need everyone in here now Carlos.” Seth called for everyone's attention. I guess she w
