"We need to make a different plan. Victoria has something up her sleeve, so let's also make our own." Raphael said to Ruffy. "What do you suggest?" "I suggest we kill him, then I will take over his company by buying it. What do you think." "And how do you suggest you take over the company? You don't have enough money to buy even fifteen percent of the shares." Ruffy said. "I know that. I was thinking of offering a large sum of money to one of his executive members to steal some of the company's income." Raphael said. "What if he gets caught." "He won't, because your boys will be watching his back. What do you say." Raphael asked. "I say it is a good plan. But what do I get in return." Ruffy asked as he puffed his cigar. Raphael leaned back onto his chair in deep thought. What exactly does he have to offer that will be accepted by this man? All this man ever wants is money, but he had no intention of giving him that. "When I take over the comp

"Dad, do you always have to bring that up? You know it is one subject I don't like to speak of yet, you always raise it". Jessica said annoyed."How can I not talk about it? Even the clothes you are wearing are not good for a woman who just delivered". Alonso replied. Jessica looked down at what she was wearing. It was practical clothes: Blue jeans, canvas trainers and a fleece."Dad, you are only saying that because you don't like these types of common clothes". she said."No, I am saying that because I think you are still in some kind of pain". Alonso retorted."But dad, I am no longer feeling sore. Why can't I wear simple jeans". she argued. Alonso saw that she was not going to heed to his words, so he just shrugged it off." You are just like your mother". Alonso said smiling. Immediately, the cry of an infant filled their ears. Alonso's smile widened hearing the angelic cry of his grandson, it was so tormenting.Jessica got up to do the duty of a mother as is now her responsibili

Drake struggled for his life, using all his swimming skills, just to get to the surface of the sea, yet even though he was a talented swimmer, he kept drowning. He was losing air, it felt like his breath was being sucked out. He was losing balance, and he knew if he didn't try harder, this would be his end.Then he heard his name being called, by the voice of a woman. He looked around in the water and up, but saw no one. He tried to swim to the surface again, but still couldn't do it. He now feels like giving up. If this is how his life was going to end, then let it be.Of course favour was not by his side all these years, for he had gone through so much pain and agony to think that he was blessed. Well, some called him as someone who was cursed anyway. There were times he sat down and tried to commemorate if he had wronged someone and was now facing the consequences, but nothing ever came to mind.In the business industry he was like the wind which can never be touched. He had fought

"Drake had an accident". Alonso added. "What..what do..you mean..by...that". Jessica asked as a few tears drew into her eyes. Even though they had a fight, she still has a child with him, and that creates a bond between them "What...are you saying...dad". she asked as her words became heavy. Alonso could hear the despair in her voice. Tears started flowing down her chin, leaving trails of sorrow. Alonso wraps his right arm around her. She moves closer to lay against him and cries on his shoulder.Olivia watched in awe as her daughter cried on her father's shoulder. She had warned Jessica that she would go no where with how bitter she always is with Drake. But Jessica never listened and continued to be bitter outside while her heart cried inside.The first time Olivia set eyes on Drake, she knew instantly he could be trusted. She immediately accepted him for her daughter but as mother's always do, you must keep an eye on the man you plan on giving your daughter to, i

"Hello." Jessica stretched forth her hand for a shake, but Niel just kept staring at her, completely lost and unsure of what to do. He wanted to pounce and spit out words on her face for what she had done to his son. But deep down, he knew Drake would never forgive him if he woke up.He stood up, fighting the urge to control his anger. He just nodded at her and kept on with the staring competition. Jessica withdrew her hand slowly, embarrassed. Even though she knew he hated her guts, she never once lost the respect she has for him. "If you're here to fix back the tree that you cut down with your axe, I suggest you retreat your steps." Niel said.Jessica was at a loss and stared straight at Niel, trying to decipher what he just said. However, no matter how hard she tries, she still couldn't comprehend what he meant by that.The word "Cut down with your axe" confused her alot. Was he trying to say she brought his son to this stage or what. So far as she knows, what she heard was
