Jake looked very defiant and wasn't scared. Jake remembered how he was beaten the last time and wanted to exact his revenge. "And she is my woman, and there is nothing you can do about it except wish she was yours," Jake said. At this point, the men surrounded him and led him to a corner where no one could see anything happening. "You see, I always get any woman I want and you are a waste," Lincoln said as he signalled to one of his men to hit Jake. Jake was ready for them this time and he weaved the punch and punched the mab very hard sending him to the floor. Lincoln saw that the man was bleeding from his mouth and was very annoyed. "Nice one," Lincoln said clapping his hands together. The second man came towards Jake and Jake weaved his attack but unknowingly to Jake, one of them attacked him from behind. "Argh, "Jake groaned in pain as he fell to his knees. The men saw this and were happy. They all gathered and held Jake's hands toget
"So, you had to send men to remind me that you made our useless son decide for our company," My Mom said when she entered the lounge room. My Mom had lost it now and was very angry, it was almost expected that she would smash something soon. Our family maid, Hanna was already in a corner trying to clear whatever my Mm was going to break because she knew my Mom. "Dear, you have to calm down," My Dad advised. "No, I won't," My Mom said. "Now, Paul went and spent the money anyhow and you are telling me to calm down," My mom said as she picked up the glass that had a picture in the lounge room and smashed it on the floor rendering it to pieces. "Honey!" My Dad said but my Mom didn't answer him and went inside her room. "What the hell are you waiting for? Come and pack it," My Dad blurted out at Hannah who was scared to move an inch even after my Mom had gone into her master bedroom. Hannah rushed to pack the pieces of glass on the floor quickly.
The sales had been increasing and there is no sign that we were making any profit. "Loss! A boss that's what we are making," Viola said facing me when she came into my office. All I could do was scratch my head and was thinking of what I could do. Even though I wasn't the Ceo, I knew I had to do something as the assistant Ceo. "Is Paul around in his office," I said finally when I looked up at Viola after scratching and bowing my head down to the desk. "No, he isn't back yet at his office," Viola said. "Alright, let me know when he comes," I said. Paul arrived that day late and acted uncalmly, he knew that he was putting the company in great danger of bankruptcy. "Hey, Paul, it has all been a loss, no profit so far," I said when I entered his office. "Uhm, don't worry, it would be a profit soon," He said. "What about the people from Argentina?" He inquired. "Exactly, they aren't buying it enough for us to make sales, we have to stop s
I then thought about checking home. "It's anything the matter Madam?"' James said on the way as he drove me towards my father's house. I wasn't sure what was going on because I noticed how he had locked outside of the mansion and that it was the same way he did anytime he was returning to China. "Is Paul here?" I inquired when I met my Mom alone in the lounge room. "No dear, what did he do this time?" My mom inquired curiously. "Mom, I think he ran away with the one billion back to China when he saw that he couldn't stay here any longer because of the bankruptcy he had caused," I said. "Oh my goodness!" My mom blurted out. "Where is Dad?" I inquired. "Well, your Dad went out to visit one of his friends," My Mom said. "I will have to calm him, "My mom said calling Paul's international line she didn't get any response. "That Vulture, he isn't picking any of his calls, he will be sued till he returns the one billion dollars, I don't care if he is my son," My Mom said. "Mom, right
I got there as quickly as I could and entered the lounge room and met my parents there. "Dear, I have founded a solution and we need to enact it as fast as possible before we become a laughing stock to our rival companies," My Dad said. I knew we had rival companies that wanted us to fail because we were way ahead of them and didn't care less about them and saw them as my Dad's enemies, not mine. I was too busy trying to make the company better in any way than to engage in any form of competition of any sort. "Alright Dad, am all ears," I said. "How about we partner with the Jenkins Textile company with Lincoln as the main head to boost our financial standards back up," My Dad said. I was very annoyed and blurted out. "No Dad, I can see that from making the mistake of making Paul be the leader, you are about to give the leadership of our company to a beast," I said. "Lincoln isn't who you say he is, he is nothing but a fine gentleman," I said. "Really? And he sent men to beat u
"Here it is, all of them, can you see your signature," Lincoln said. Thomas knew that Lincoln had tricked him and that now Lincoln was the owner of everything. "So you would kick your father out of his own house simply because of your trick," Thomas blurted out angrily. "Calm down, old man!" Lincoln said. "I can do whatever I want, so all I need you to do is to sit back and watch how I will marry Veronica," Lincoln said. Thomas was confused and felt sad about everything as Lincoln exited the mansion. Thomas regretted everything he had done in the past. He knew that deeply he loved his wife, Lita but he didn't deserve her that was why he acted like a jerk. Thomas remembered the good memories he had with her. He knew that he would always cling to those good memories no matter what... I was just entering my mansion when I received a phone call from Diana. "Hello sis," Down said when I picked up her call. "Guess what? My husband would be donating two million dollars even though it l
"What is going on here?" I inquired curiously. I couldn't believe that Dad would accept Lincoln joining the two companies together. "As I said, you have no other choice since I am the chairman," My Dad said. I was already infuriated and Lincoln saw this. "Relax, Veronica," Lincoln said. "You will remain the Ceo of the company," Lincoln said. My mind immediately went to Jake and wondered what had happened since I didn't see him that day in the company. It was as if Lincoln had heard my thoughts. "I see that you are thinking about what must have happened to Jake, your playboy," Lincoln said as he faced his stupid smile that made me more infuriated when I look at him. "What the hell did you do to Jake!" I blurted out angrily. At this point, my Dad was already leaving with the men that followed him. "Thanks for everything," Lincoln said facing my Dad. "Ooh sure," My Dad said as he exited the company. I knew that my Dad didn't care about how I felt even though he would have watche
"Some men, they beat me up and dropped this letter, telling me to hand it over to you," James said handing a letter in a black envelope. When I opened the letter it read. "Dear Veronica, you might have to forgive me for what I did to your driver to get your attention, but it's not going to be compared to what I will do to Jake's Dad, Henry Benson, I promise you I will kill him. and won't leave a trace, I can see that now you know the influence I have on the policemen and I cannot be accused. All I need is for you to agree to the marriage and the marriage would be done, if not Henry dies, and if you try to play smart and inform your lover playboy Jake, Henry dies, yours truly, Lincoln Jenkins," I knew that I was done for. "Oh my goodness! Henry!" I blurted out. I knew that Jake had lost his Mom and his Dad was the only parent he had. "What was I going to do?" I muttered to myself. All I knew was that I wasn't going to put Jake into further problems since he was already sacked becau
