Chapter 42:After he and Darius agreed on what they were going to take out or maintain in the contract, Lucius went upstairs to check on her and immediately he entered Layla started taking off her clothes.“You don’t need to do this, put on your clothes you aren’t in your right sense now,” he growled.“I'm doing great, thank you. There is nothing wrong with me, and this is work. I believe there are established rules that I must abide by. Since you paid for my services, breaking my end of the deal would constitute fraud on my part,” she said and continued but Lucius stopped her."I insist, there is still time for our agreement to stand because right now, your health is more essential than any kind of agreement. Let's concentrate on that for now,” he remarked with serenity.Layla laughed inside because she had no idea how gentle Lucius could be and wished she would remain ill for the duration of her contract. "I feel bad because I feel I am thanking advantage of the situation, you are

Chapter 44:"Close the door," Jake murmured to Alex.Alex walked in panting and breathing heavily, "I believe this is the last thing I will ever do for you," he said."I am sorry, but did you get what I asked for?" Jake asked looking at his hand to be sure he came with it.“Why are you being such a jerk, don't you care about me? I would not do this for you again, never again because if I am caught, I would be charged for being an accomplice, and I do not want to spend my youth in prison. And not for terrible reasons like helping you,” Alex hissed."You can not treat me this way; I am your friend. How are you going to expect me to survive without you?” Jake begged."You ought to have thought about that before committing your stupid act, now you want to drag everyone to your pit, no that can’t happen!" Alex retorted."I am sorry, but are you here with the money?” Jake insisted.Alex rolled his eyes in disgust.“All of my plight isn’t your business you are just after the money, anyways I

Chapter 46:"What took you so long?" Jake asked Alex as he entered, swiftly picking up the pack that was with him.He eagerly opened the package of food and began chewing as much as he could, he only stopped and looked up when Alex said something."Jake, I wouldn't be returning here after tonight; my life and the lives of my family are in grave danger, the police are looking for you everywhere, and they're in my house right now. I can't give up my liberty for you. I can’t put my life at risk for you," he remarked in fear."I know you have been a good friend to me, you have stood by me in my difficult times, and this is one of the challenges one faces in life, but please do that to the end," he said."What should I do to the end?” Alex asked with a strong face, “We both understand that there is no point hiding because sooner or later you will be caught and if I am caught with you, I will be arrested along with you. This isn’t one of the challenges you face in life, you brought this on

Chapter 48:"Oh what a nice interior you got here," Jake commented as he walked into the flat Vanessa's driver brought him to, he scanned the area and nodded slightly.Vanessa was pissed when she saw him approach her. She stood from where she was sitting and slapped him."What was that used for?" He queried as he placed his hand on his cheek simultaneously."How could you get so stupid? What were you thinking? How could you even consider imposing yourself on a woman? How could you stand so low to this and now I am left with no choice but to clean up your mess," she angrily said raising her hand in anger.“We had a history,” he said trying to touch her, "and it is not as they have painted it. I was just trying to recoup my investment, I think you should understand.""Can you listen to yourself, how could you think of doing this to me? How could you?" She yelled at him."That's the issue; it's always been about you and your desires. I was never in the picture..."“What do you mean? Off

Chapter 50:"Fuck! This is widely available online. How the heck were they able to do this? Any blogger who has this news on their channel will be sued by me!” Lucius threw his phone on the table."This is horrible,” he hissed."You need to calm yourself down..." Darius said from his corner.“The only thing I ever heard from you was calm down. You said the same thing when Carlos joined the board of directors, and today he is, in fact, our company's largest shareholder after us. You still want me to calm down. What has gotten into you, why aren’t you bothered at all?" Lucius screamed."Because I know that wouldn't solve any of the issues we now have, being tense wouldn't either, at this time we need to think,” Darius said.“How did he persuade them to give him their portion of the company? How did he manage to buy them? I told you he was cruel and dangerous. Is there no way to legally obtain the shares from him?" Lucius questioned."We can, but as you and I both know, we have been inve
