Meanwhile, Elizabeth and Benjamin were together. He noticed the unease feeling each time she looked at her parents and Christian.“You don’t seem excited each time you look at him, what’s happening?”“I don’t want to talk about it, but I don’t like him for once.” She replied.“You should tell your parents, rather than keep mute.” He muttered.“I have spoken to them but they want him desperately, mostly my mother. Can we forget about this? I need to get my money back.”Seeing her mother with Christian made her extremely angry; she fathomed what Christian was trying to do and no matter what, she would stand her ground.When Christian, Sarah and Ethan walked towards the entrance, the others could only stare at them.Some wondered who the figure with Ethan and Sarah was.At the entrance stood men with stoic faces, each of them had a baton blocking the entrance. Christian wasn’t only pompous but was arrogant, “I want you to go inside this moment and inform whoever is in charge or your bos

Christian furrowed his brow as he listened intently to Ethan. He could hear Elizabeth’s voice from the end. He was delighted to know she was there; he figured it would be time for him to perform and show some authority to win over her heart.He replied hurriedly, “Uncle, just send me the address. I am on my way! I will help you solve the problem. I will contact the police and make sure those bastards pay dearly every single penny they have taken away from you.” Ethan’s face lit up with excitement, upon hearing Christians words, he sounded confident. “Thank you so much, I will text you the address immediately.”After ending the call, Ethan texted him the address and said with joy, “Christian is on his way here. He promised he would help us get our money back.”“Mr. Scott, I am sorry but we aren’t working today until we get our money.”Benjamin nodded as he watched the people.Elizabeth felt different, “Mr. Scott, I know you can help us, you have helped me before, do something.”“Don’t

That morning, after getting up and being done with whatever needed to be done. Benjamin was sipping his tea when he received a call from James Sinclair.As soon as he answered the call, James said, “Master Scott, I just received a message from the site that the people you’d selected from the slum didn’t show up to work today.”Benjamin was confused, how could they not show up on their first day of work? What could be the reason?“I will get back to you soon!” He replied before he hung up and called Francis. Benjamin was furious when Francis wasn’t picking up his call. So he immediately got dressed and made his way to the site.As soon as he stepped out of the car, he made his way toward Elizabeth’s restaurant to asked about her father, but he noticed her door was locked. What could be happening?He thought to himself.At this time, he received a call from Francis, who hurriedly spoke into the phone, “Master Scott, I am sorry I missed your call, I was answering nature’s call.”“What’

“Edward, please talk to your friend to let Reuben go. He will kill him.” Sandra said through gritted teeth.Edward glared at her coldly, this wouldn’t have happened if not for her. She had the guts to bring her lover and they had ruined his eventsHowever, Benjamin didn’t stop there, he delivered two more slaps to Reuben’s face. At this time, Reuben saw nothing but stars as he began to sob bitterly. “Please, spare me. Please stop, I will never step foot here again, and I will stay away from your friend’s wife. I will never bother her again, I swear!”Benjamin’s slap had broken Reuben, all he wanted was to run away and never show his face again.Sandra was agitated when she heard Reuben’s words, “What do you mean, Reuben. You want to leave me because of this! Remember your promises.”Reuben trembled in pain, but hearing Sandra’s voice made him angry, and he felt like kicking her so hard that she couldn’t take it anymore. “Please, let me go, and I will teach this bitch a lesson.” He s

Benjamin shook his head as he stared at her. He smiled when he saw the ugly look on her face, she just got embarrassed.That served her right, if she hadn’t thought about throwing the camera away things wouldn’t have turned out that way.Edward apologised to his guests and everyone continued with their various discussions.A few minutes later, Sandra sneaked out and left outside. “I am sorry for what happened, bro. I usually don’t know why my wife acts that way towards people.” He said in an apologetic tone.“It’s fine, I am happy people could tell the difference between a normal camera and an expensive one,” he said as he smiled.Edward nodded and embraced Benjamin in a warm hug, “Thank you, bro, I really appreciate it.”At that moment, Benjamin’s phone buzzed; he glared at the caller ID and frowned in irritation. It was from his ex-girlfriend, Nora “Why is she calling me?” He muttered inwardly.Benjamin rose from his feet and ambled towards the entrance, where it was less noisy. H

At the entrance of the photo store, banners and pictures of people were displayed, and a small stage was set up at the front.Many guests arrived, giving Edward their gifts. Benjamin noticed he was late; he had to rush to get his gift. When he arrived, he found Edward at the entrance smirking. They both engaged in a warm hug after which he gave him the gift he had gotten for him.“Congratulations on your opening, I can’t wait for you to take as many images as possible.” They both chuckled.“Thank you, Benjamin.” At that moment, his wife walked forward with heavy makeup, and she glared the moment she saw Benjamin.Sandra acted like she had never seen Benjamin as she walked towards her husband. “Darling, you should come in, it’s about to get started.”Edward frowned at his wife’s attitude, “Did you not see my friend?” He asked.Sandra faked a smile and said, “Oh, I didn’t see him.” She turned to Benjamin and said. “Hey! You came, welcome.” She didn’t hesitate as she walked back into

“We don’t have anything to say; I want a DNA test to be conducted to know who the real father is, so you leave my office. I will let you know when it’s time for the DNA test.” “I am not going anywhere,” Adrian didn’t utter a word to her; he took the intercom and called his guards. Ava kept ranting about reporting him to the police and posting it on social media platforms, but Adrian didn’t say anything. When the guards came into his office. “Yes, boss.” Take her out of my office, and don’t allow her to step foot again in this building, not even some meters away. If you do spot her anywhere, don’t hesitate to inform the police.” His voice was sharp and firm. Ava’s mouth gapes in shock; she has never seen this side of her ex-husband. “You are sending me out of your office, Adrian. We need to talk about this,” she yelled. Adrian shot her a deadly glare, which restrained her from uttering more words. “This way, madam.” One of the guards said. She took her bag in frustration, sh

“I don’t know mom. I knew I slept with both Adrian and Wesley.” Mrs. Delilah Sharp’s gaze lifted to her daughter, her lips tightening in disapproval. “What do you mean? You are pregnant, and you don’t know who the father of your baby is. Is that how I trained you?” Ava placed the test strip down, she couldn’t shake the weight of the situation that was pressing down on her. She remembered having a one-night thing with her ex-husband, who is now a millionaire, and the next day, she slept with Wesley, her boyfriend. “Everything is messy, I can’t tell who is the father.” She replied. There was a moment of silence between them, as Ava kept a downward gaze. “I know who the father is,” Mrs Delilah spilt out while Ava stared at her mother in confusion. “Yes, the father is Adrian.” Ava sniffed softly, “But, Mom, you can’t tell. What if Wesley is the baby’s father? What are we going to do?” Ava asked in a low tone. “Shut up, You should be ashamed of yourself that you don’t know who got

The following day, the tension in the conference room was palpable, an evident weight pressing down on everyone present; Adrian sat beside Mr Simon, with his hands clasped together, while Mr Simon leaned on the chair, staring at the faces of the board members. The board members were seated with their expressions mixed with impatience and a bit of worry. “What is taking the Doctor so long, must we have to wait all day before we know the actual results?” Amelia said with her voice tingling. A quiet murmuring erupted from the others, as most of them glanced at the wristwatch. Mr. Simon looked at her with an unpredictable expression. “The truth will reveal itself in due time.” The double door creaked open, silencing the murmuring in the room. Dr. Kasper walked in with the men assigned to look after him. His black cases were tucked under one arm and a folder in his other hand. His expression was composed and professional. “Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Sorry for keeping you w

Simon could tell they were all becoming impatient, and he had something installed for them. These people have worked with him for decades, but he is beginning to see their true colours. A few of them wanted him to step down so they could input someone they wanted, who would be by their side, but Simon was smart and wouldn’t allow them to succeed. A small smirk formed by the side of his lips; he stood up, adjusting his suit in confidence. It was time to show them he had a family member who would succeed him. He gestured towards the doors of the hall. “Allow me to introduce you to my successor.” The room fell into deep silence as all eyes tossed towards the door, which creaked open, Revealing a tall, dark-haired young figure. Adrian walked into the hall with confidence, leaving them in shock, as their faces were etched in disbelief. “Who is this?” Olivia asked, as his face turned pale. Adrian stood beside Simon, he kept a mild expression as he watched the men and women before him.

“I don’t have anyone to take over from me; I am a man with nothing to live for but the preservation of our family legacy.” Adrian shifted uncontrollably, “I am sorry for your loss but I don’t understand what has this had to do with me.” Simon’s expression softened as he stared at Adrian. “I am an old man, seventy-five years is no child’s play. My time is running out, and I refuse to let this empire fall into the hands of outsiders. People who have no understanding of the Brown’s name or the sacrifice it took to build it. Your father and I built it together before he left the world. You are the only surviving Kin, and I need someone with our name to carry on what we have built.” Adrian stared at him in stunned silence. “You mean you are asking me to take over the family empire,” Simon nodded, as a fainted smile tugged by the side of his lips. “I am not asking; I am offering you an opportunity most people would kill for. I have heard a lot about you, you attended the best school, T

Adrian cursed under his breath as a surge of adrenaline washed through him. He bolted down the street, weaving through parked cars and abandoned dumpsters. The dim street lights cast fleeting shadows that dance like spectres in the night. The men were determined, their footsteps echoing in the cold night air. A crack of a gunshot echoed through the night; the bullet struck a steel container, missing Adrian. His mind continued to race as he scanned for an escape route. He found an open space where he rushed towards, hoping to disappear from the men, only to find himself at the dead end of a street. “Damn it,” he muttered in frustration. As he thought of running, a distant hum of the engine grew louder, with a black SUV screeched at the corner. Its headlights cut through the darkness like twin blades. Adrian barely had time to process what was happening. The door swung open, and two men in black alighted from the car and pulled out their guns, opening with precision. The first sh
