LOGINAustin scoffed. “I promise, you were my best friend and still my best friend, if not for your family, I wouldn't be where I am today. So there's so much good stuff to do than lie to you.” He muttered, his tone vulnerable, enough to make Austin believe him. But not again. He was done being deceived. “If that's why you gave me this long break, Austin you are mistaken. Let me come back and work with you, like we used to. Don't let anyone who you're not sure of come between us.” Austin scoffed, this was it, how he used to confuse him. He was never a friend but a foe. “I promise I've never betrayed you, or ever will,” he added. Austin was feeling overly exhausted now as he drove off in the car. Dave looked back at him and his eyes grew darker. He was contemplating whether to stop the car and strangle him here or spare his life. As his focus deviates from the road looking at Austin, a car suddenly horn, bringing his mind back to reality. He breathed in deeply. He must lea
"Austin Richard, CEO of MTECH." the voice bellowed, his tone sarcastic. Austin paid no attention to him as he gulped down his drink and began pouring another. "What brought you here today? We don't see you that often." Austin assumed he must be one of his rivals as he continued pouring down his drink. He wasn't in the mood to give any lowly company CEO his attention today. "It must have hit you hard for you to end up here." Austin breathed in deeply; he was getting on his nerves now, and it was just a matter of time before he exploded. "That b!tch, she'd have been in my custody by now if she didn't escape." He muttered, his tone malicious. Only then, did Austin raise his head to look at the loser standing beside him. And behold, it was no other than his sworn enemy; Ethan Williams. His teeth clenched hard and his fist tightened. He was sick to his stomach just by looking at his face. He stood up slowly, his aura cold and gaze deadly. “What do you mean she escaped? What
Austin returned to his office with his heart crippled with pain. His face cold as he punched the wall. How could he be so careless? Where had she gone? It was a goodnews Jasmine got a scholarship and also great that she didn't leave Bella behind, but where did they go to? Was it San Francisco? New York? He couldn't place his head anywhere. He hissed as he went up and down in his office. Just then his phone started ringing—it was his detective. He sighed, picking up the call. "Boss, how's it going?" Austin's stomach twisted in knots. "I lost them," he said. "What?" his voice sounded, unable to believe it. He was sure that was their home. He made sure to investigate if they actually lived there or came for a visit and he was sure they lived there. How did they move in just a few days? "Could they have found out?" he speculated and Austin's eyes squinted. Could it be? Did they run away because of him? Did Jasmine really get a scholarship or was that just an excuse to
Feeling somber, she sank into the sofa. Why was it so difficult to get his attention? She was beautiful and always found it easy with men. Why was he so different and tough? Frustration dazzled her mind as she sighed.A few minutes later, the door creaked open, revealing Mrs Beth.She had a smile on her face "How did it go.." she muttered. Then her face darted around "Where is he?" She added."He used the back door.""Goodness!" Mrs Beth exclaimed, unable to believe it, she had forgotten there was a back door that only he knew the passcode. "It's okay dear, just don't give up and go home to your mum for now, you're the perfect wife for my son," she reassured."He should come around quick, I'm running out of patience," Ann groaned, her face twisted."It's alright, my regards to your mother "Wth that, she left.------------Austin had a smile on his lips as he drove along the lonely street of the village.A few minutes later, he arrived at the location his detective ha
“How many times have I told you not to do this again?" he hissed. "I'll leave you two alone to discuss," she muttered subtly and stood up taking the route to her garden. His mother would never listen. He glared hard at Ann who sat on the sofa, grinning widely. "What are you doing here?" He asked, but Ann stayed quiet. "Let me shock you, if you think my mother can do anything for you, you're playing with your life, the earlier you realise this, the better for you." He snarled, sending shivers down her spine. His aura always made her shiver, but she wouldn't back down; she was sure to carry his heir and be bound to this family. Angry, he turned around to leave, but his blood even boiled more as the door refused to open. Mrs Beth was ready for him this time. Ann grinned, hoping anything at all would really happen between them. Still standing in front of the entrance, Austin made a call to his mother. "Open this door now!" he thundere
“Isa, are you there?" Jasmine called, making her jolt from her thoughts "Don't think about it too much, it might just be a thief." Jasmine consoled. Bella nodded softly, it could be. ------------- Henry had a frown settled on his forehead, his eyes going between Ann and Sarah. "Where did you say Bella went to again?" He hissed, his eyes deadly. Ann had never seen her dad this way, she shook. But Sarah was still feeling indifferent. What could he possibly do? "Maybe at the orphanage or something." Henry's fist clenched harder. "And you couldn't stop her?" he voiced. "You should've seen the way she left. She bade everyone farewell, said to take care of you and she disappeared, that b!tch." Sarah complained Henry felt the pain in his heart. He failed as a father. And now he had lost his connections that could help look for her. From his wife's report, the company had lost so much and was just surviving on past productions. His teeth clenche
