I was already flaring up when I got to my family mansion. "Calm down dear," My Mom said. Even my mom was ignorant about what was happening. "Dear, what's going on?" My Mom inquired facing my Dad. Dad was looking a little bit guilty. My Dad knew what he did and how he planned with Lincoln to set up a marriage. "Mom, he planned with that good-for-nothing man for a marriage without my consent," I blurted out. I couldn't believe the fact that my Mom was ignorant abo what my Dad did. "Honey, but why," My mother said facing my Dad. "Dear, I am just doing what is good for her," My Dad said indifferently. "I can't believe this," My Mom said. "You have to, I am doing everything to ensure that she gets married to a notable person unlike a low-class playboy," My Dad said. At that moment, I flared up at how my dad insulted Jake and snapped. "Well, that low classed playboy you are talking about is everything better than Lincoln," I blurted out angrily. "Dear, calm down, don't talk in suc
I was baffled. "So my Dad was really serious and didn't even wait for me to leave and brought my kid brother to replace me as the Ceo," I muttered to myself. Now one thing about Paul was that he had textile knowledge and he always wanted to lead so it means he was getting what he had always wanted. "So what are you doing on my desk?" I inquired when I met him signing some papers. At this point, Viola came into the office as if to indicate the fact that my brother was there and to apologize for not alerting me earlier. "Hey! Stupid! Can't you see that I and my sister and are about to have an important conversation, I want you out of this office!" Paul blurted out. "Don't talk to my workers in such a manner," I said signalling to Viola who was hurt by those words that she could leave. "Well, she isn't just your worker, she is mine, same goes for others," Paul said as he continued signing some papers. "By the way, just to let you know, since I am the
Where I sat in the assistant Ceo office, I thought about all the worker's Paul had fired simply because they weren't giving him his taste. I finally concluded that I would need to see my Dad about it. Thomas alighted from his limousine after his driver opened the door for him. He knew that he needed to see his good friend, Richard, my Dad. "Hey, Thomas! It's good to see you," My Dad said as they both hugged when Thomas entered the lounge room. They were really good friends way back and I remembered how they had worked together to develop their companies into becoming sister companies. "What would you like to take?" My dad inquired facing Thomas "I am okay thanks," Thomas said as he adjusted himself on one of the lounges in the lounge room. "What about your wife, Esther?" Thomas inquired. "Ooh, she is fine, she is currently not around," my ad said facing Thomas. Thomas face changed to a serious one immediately after the exchange of pleasantries. "I needed to know and understand
"Yes I am Jake," Jake said summoning courage as he knew about who Lincoln was. "I know that you should have known that there is a planned marriage between me and Veronica," Lincoln said. "Yes, I do," Jake said. "So, I hope you understand where that places you, as her playboy and I have her husband, so I just hope you will learn your place," Lincoln said. "So I need you to stop seeing her," Lincoln said. "I can't because we are deeply in love with each other," Jake said. Lincoln smiled and faced Jake. "This is your first warning, I am a very dangerous man and you don't want to get in my path, trust me," Lincoln said as he turned and entered his SUV after his driver opened the door of his passenger seat and his bodyguards followed him inside and he was driven off. Jake thought about who Lincoln was. He never really considered him a threat and was planning to ignore any of his threats and headed towards the company. My Mom, Esther Hargreaves sat down in one of the lounges in the lo
"Well, that's the price I want to use and there is nothing you can do about it especially when you are the Ceo," He said and continued signing some documents. "Listen, Paul, we don't have many funds in the company, you taking two billion dollars from the company might render us broke in the future," I said. "Well that's not your own opinion to make after all you should know your position in this company," Paul said. I felt bad as he spoke because I remembered how we lived as kids before ego set in to differentiate us from each other. He, I and Diana was very close. I remembered how we played together in the backyard of our house as kids. We enjoyed every moment of it and never regretted any. Even if we fought, in about a second we will already be settling the matter ourselves before our Mom comes to settle it. Now things have changed. Paul had become so money and fame conscious that he always wanted the gold for himself. I was sure that he was glad
"What the hell do you want from me?" Jake yelled facing the men. Jake was expecting to see Lincoln and was surprised that he didn't show up. "Our boss warned you before to stop seeing Veronica and you refused to listen," One of the men who happened to be their leader said. Jake could see that they weren't his match and he didn't stand a chance against them not as they were in such number. "I am warning you, I don't want any trouble, I will rather that you mind yourself," Jake said. The men attacked Jake and beat him up to a pulp. Jake tried to fight back, but he was overpowered by the men. "That's a lesson for disobeying Lincoln's orders, and it's your last chance, so don't ever waste it or we will waste your life," Their leader said indicating a gin sign with his hands. He signalled to the rest of the men and they followed him to the SUV and then they drove off. Jake picked himself up and swore to deal with them ruthlessly the next time. J
Where I stood, I see the expression of surprise change to that of indifference on my Dad's face. "That's a big lie," My Dad said. I wondered what magical concoction Lincoln gave to my Dad and why he was behaving in such a way. "What! Really?" My mom blurted out in surprise. "Dear, If this is who Lincoln is, a dangerous person, sorry but I cannot let my daughter get married to such a person," My mom said with defiance. I could see how she wanted to protect me and didn't want anything bad to happen to me. "Honey, are you o believe our daughter and the lie she is telling now," My Dad managed to say. I was stunned at his reply and wondered why he would think that I was lying. "I mean after everything that had happened, don't you think that she is trying to lie to innocent Lincoln to try and prove to us that he is not the man for her which isn't true," My Dad said. "Oh my gosh," I muttered. I was already about to lose it. I knew that this was the work
I kept wondering about their reaction when I called Lincoln's name. "Am sorry madam, but....." The police officer stammered. "But what!" Diana blurted out angrily. Diana was already agitated at their behaviour. I knew that they felt that Lincoln couldn't be accused and that was why they had ch a reaction to me. "Am sorry but we need evidence before we can proceed with such accusations," one of the police officer salary. "Oh really? Well, the evidence is the bruised body of my lover, he sent men to hurt him and that's enough evidence," I blurted out. I was already understanding everything that was happening. Whoever Lincoln was, he had convinced the world that he was a good man whereas he wasn't. "I can't believe this," I blurted out. "Criminals, that's all you guys are," My sister should at the. My sister was worse than me when she was annoyed. Her case was different to the extent that people think that she is crazy when she is displaying her ange
