CHAPTER 31— PRESS CONFERENCEMAYAI was beyond upset, trying to figure out everything. This was far beyond what I wanted and I couldn't believe that Marvin would go fat and beyond.“I'm not attending the press conference,” I said sternly.He looked at me like I had suddenly grown heads. “What do you mean you're not going? They did you wrong and it's only right that they apologize to you,” he stated.I grumbled. “But did you really have to take it this far, Marvin? She's already been exposed at the mall. Why did you have to demand a conference too?”He scoffed. “You think I care about their apology? You think an apology would make me forget everything? You're wrong. They arrange the press conference and my revenge part is the humiliation and taint in reputation they're facing. They can stick their fake apology up in their ass.”The look in his eyes was unlike anything u gas ever seen before. He was beyond angry and there was no stopping him. I just had no other choice but to accept it.

CHAPTER 33— LARRYIt suddenly felt hard to breathe. I didn't even bother to wait and hear what they had to say next because my heart was racing hard in my chest and everything was blurry.I couldn't even look at them properly. The humiliation weighed me. I couldn't believe that everything I've worked for my entire life up until now was slipping away from my hands.Fuck. I just messed everything up.I entered the elevator and slumped down once it closed, feeling completely devastated. I was suspended and wasn't even given a definite time to return.I needed to fix this. But how was I supposed to? The only solution I could think of was jeopardised because of Brandy trying to play the victim card and there's no way I'm going to get out of this. The elevator door opened, snapping me out of my thoughts. Jack was already around the lobby, waiting for me with a worried expression on his face.A wave of relief washed over him upon my arrival. “There you are,” he walked towards me. “I've bee

CHAPTER 35— BROKEN TRUSTSLARRYI couldn't see much. And despite the fact that I was drunk, I was still aware of my environment. I had a cab drop me off, knowing it was totally unsafe for me to drive.I staggered into the mansion sion, relishing the feeling of going to bed. Sleep was the only escape I had now. The only way to truly forget about all of my struggles at the moment. I was only halfway into the mansion, when I saw Brandy seated on one of the couches, her hands clutched to her stomach. It was already so late, I didn't expect her to be awake.Plus, she's the last person I want to see.I ignored her, made my way to my room but she caught a glimpse of me and ran towards me with a smile on her face.“You came back so late,” she began saying. “I've been waiting for you all day. I tried calling you multiple times but you didn't answer your phone.”I ignored her and continued climbing the stairs. She followed me like a clingy girlfriend, watching me get rid of my clothes as I pr

CHAPTER 37— THE DOWNFALL LARRYI kept tapping my foot on the ground, trying to be patient even though it was running thin. I kept checking my watch, waiting for my lawyer to show up.He's late but he's supposed to be the professional one in this case. What a waste of time. If he doesn't show up, I'm going to have to give this case to someone who can handle it.A waiter approached me, a smile on his face. “Hello sir, do you want anything ?” He inquired.I answered, “Coffee. Black coffee.”He nodded in response and walked ahead, leaving the room. I checked my watch over and over again, hoping he'd show up on time.The waiter soon arrived with my coffee soon after. I wasted no time in taking a sip, letting out a sigh after the satisfying taste of the coffee. I've always liked coffee and the way it just soothes me.“Aren't you an impatient being?” I looked up and saw that it was none other than my lawyer— Davidson. He's been my friend since my university days, so he's able to get away

CHAPTER 39— OLD CONNECTIONS LARRY“Way to choose a secluded place,” I said, sarcasm laced in my voice.Victor just let out a chuckle. He's the one who's bent on making sure that we don't go to a public area but went ahead to choose a bar instead. Classic Victor. “I mean, the bar is dimly lit and it took you almost three minutes to find me. So, don't you think it's quite secluded?” He concluded.I ignored his statement and slowly shook my head. “So, do you know what you're here for?” I went straight to the point, taking a seat on one of the stools next to him.He looked at me with a confused expression on his face and replied, “You're the one who called me here and suddenly, you're asking if I know what I'm here for?”Before I could continue, a waiter approached us with a small smile on his face. “Gpod day, gentlemen. What can I get you two?” He asked.“I want a bottle of whiskey,” I told him.Victor said he wanted the same thing, so he left to get our order. I wasn't usually the typ
