Simon wheeled his chair out of the six hours meeting he had been at all morning, the major reason for the meeting was nothing short of him discussing the way forward out of the company's predicament, the emergency means by which they could save the company, and bring it back to its former glory. All the directors had nothing to say in objection to what he had suggested, they looked up to him with absolute trust and agreed with whatever he thought was best. There was nothing much they could have said anyway, they were still very ashamed and embarrassed at their actions. The fact that they had been in the company for more than ten years and did not realize that the company had almost been lost to a cheap fraud was an utter embarrassment and so they all listened humbly.Even if they didn't want to they had no choice, the early morning business news prime topic had been on how a company of that size and with that amount of shareholders could fall victim to that kind of cheap fraud and

Alvira woke up early to prepare breakfast for her mother who was still mourning the death of her husband. As she walked into the kitchen, she look around it, sighed, and began to make preparation to prepare breakfast despite not even being sure of what she wanted to make for breakfast.She heard a noise coming from the stairway and was forced to look up to see her mother walking toward her. "Mom?" She called in a surprised and relieved manner.Her mother had been so calm ever since the death of her father, but she stayed in bed longer than she should and would suddenly bust into tears on impulse, a method of grief that was quite different from Alvira's explosive but short one. "Hello darling," Emily said as she walked to the refrigerator and got herself some cold water. "I didn't expect to see you awake already," Alvira said, and Emily nodded as she grabbed a cup and poured herself some water. "I know, but I've been awake for the past two hours," She said and Alvira lifted her bro

It was the cool of the evening, Ben and Simon Walker were seated on the balcony on the roof of their mansion having a few snacks together. This act of theirs which was one of the family traditions of spending time together had been abandoned due to Simon's illness. Actually, it was abandoned by just Simon because his grandparents always spent time with each other comfortably. Since his return to the company, the family traditions that had become nonexistent have been slowly restored. Today, seating on the balcony at the highest point of their mansion looking down at the view below as they shared snacks and discussed their various interests with one another, was just one of them. Since they were a business-oriented family, who tend to be very busy, they had created those few family traditions to make sure no one becomes too busy or carried away with work that they abandoned their family. Sarah had created these family traditions after her marriage to Ben and had made sure every me

Simon glanced at his wristwatch, it was past 6 pm and the fifth meeting he had had that day just came to an end. He sighed, that was also the last meeting for the day, he hoped the burdens of things eased from now on. It's been two weeks and he had been busy as shit. He had practically traveled around the country in a bid to correct everything that needed correction and luckily they had been able to correct it, thanks to his professional team.If there was anything he had learned from all this, it was to never give depression a chance, it only ruined more things and repaired nothing. If he hadn't been staying couped up in his room all those years, there wouldn't have been so much to correct right now. At a time like this, the only thing that seem good was the fact that he was always seating in a chair all day, with the amount of stress he underwent even right there in the wheelchair, he couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if he wasn't seating on one.Watching Asher looki

Alvira stood in front of the Walkers' mansion and stared at it for a few seconds with a complicated expression on her face before she slowly walked towards the gate. The security guard who was stationed there looked up from what he was doing when he heard her approaching and smiled, calling a greeting out at her before letting her in, as he had recognized her. Alvira also smiled slightly back in response as she walked passed the opened gate towards the dark-colored mansion that gleamed under the sunlight. She was back here again, but now for a different reason, she was going got work hard and make sure that she fulfilled not just her dream but her father's last wish. Like she had done in the past, she braced herself with determination and was ready for anything, even if Simon tried to bully or frustrate her, she would turn a blind eye to it. With her heart set on this, she walked steadily towards the giant mahogany doors of the mansion.Before she could ring the bell, the door was o
