All Chapters of His ruthless uncle's obsession : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I sat in my bedroom staring into space. I'm all alone now. I just realized that the only reason I was so strong was the knowledge that my dad would wake up soon and help me navigate the troubled waters that have surrounded me. My mom had left us when I was just a little child, I remember grabbing her hand and pleading with her not to leave us. She had yanked her hand off mine and proceeded to the door without even looking back. My dad had been the one taking care of all my needs since then, he had become my best friend and confidante. The only one I could ever truly be vulnerable with. A coma is like a very long slumber, it could take months or years and you'd never know when a loved one in that state would wake up. I'm definitely alone in this one for as long as he remains in a coma. I had learnt the ropes, but I was still lacking. You don't know everything about a company that was built ages ago in just two weeks. I thought my dad had enough time to go through everything with

The moment Lucia agreed, I felt overwhelmed with joy.I never wanted to call that favour in, you don't help people and expect them to help you back in return, but desperate times call for desperate measures. My phone rang, it was Lucia."I found a stripper, my personal favorite. I hope this won't affect him in any way. You know the kind of cousin you have, but do you know the kind of lover he is? A possessive one. I love you Rebecca, but I wouldn't want the blood of a struggling guy on my hands. I can only do with the blood of the wicked."I stood up and paced around the room, still holding the phone. How do I even stop my cousin from hurting someone he sees as a competition? I don't even have a security detail."Are you there?" Lucia asked."I'm thinking of something.""Can you think faster? James would be here any minute.""Can I pay him off? Give him enough money to start over somewhere else?""He won't leave.""Why?""His elder sister is currently in prison for a crime she didn't

"What were you doing Rebecca?" He asked, storming into the room. His eyes were searching the entire room."Where is he?" he asked.Typical psycho behavior. Of course he thinks everyone cheats like him. He walked past me and headed to the walk-in closet, still searching."I don't understand what you mean by that," I said calmly."Why did you keep me waiting out there?""I was in the bathroom, and the music was quite loud. Is that why you're searching the room? You think I'm cheating on you? Is that what you've reduced me to? A cheating wife?" I asked, my voice shaking a bit as I began wiping invisible tears from my eyes.His expression softened as he walked back to me and pulled me in a tight hug.His scent was suffocating me, it made me want to sneeze. Unlike Mr. Knox's scent that was both comforting and possessive. The kind of scent that engulfs you and makes you drip. Oh my goodness! What's wrong with me? I shouldn't be thinking of another man while in another's arms."I'm sorry. Y

There was dead silence in the room, it wasn't out of respect. I knew they were trying to process what was happening before they pounced like hungry lions. "When Collins told us you'd be the one handling the company, I thought it was a joke," a fat pot-bellied man said. Collins coughed immediately and somehow managed to say one. I simply nodded. Of course, he was number one. Donovan George, the man with a gold digging wife and two mistresses. I remained silent as the other members of the board aside from the woman I assumed was the lawyer started chuckling and murmuring. I still didn't say a word, I just kept quiet and observed each one of them. It wasn't the first time people underestimated me, but I was truly hurt this time. The anger wasn't even at them, it was the time I wasted being exactly what they all saw me as, Daddy's spoiled princess. "Whoever advised you has led you astray. This company isn't a spa or a pink yacht with mocktails and cocktails. Tell me why a

I probably shouldn't have entered my father's office. Nothing had changed, the room still smelled like him.memories of what had happened the day he collapsed flashed across my mind.My father had lain helpless on the floor because of a single call. Right now, I would do anything to ensure Mr. Knox doesn't dissolve the partnership, even if it takes my sweat and blood. My father's legacy must remain standing, and when we can stand firmly without Mr. Knox, I'll buy his shares. I'll ensure he never holds that kind of power over my family again.A knock on the door brought me back to reality. Collins had gone to relay my message to the staff members so it had to be Mrs. Stella.I quickly wiped my tears, and adjusted my seating position. She walked in gently with a smile on her face."Your Dad would be very proud of you Miss. Greene. I must say, I also underestimated you when you walked in. That was poor judgement on my part, I'm sorry," she said."It's fine, I would have questioned every
