Chapter Thirteen Cold sweat broke out from Leo's temple as he shook with fright. His eyes widened, and his jaw locked.Seeing Leo’s reaction to her question, Selena smirked. “I guess the answer is no! So behave! I call the shot here!”Stepping away from him, Selena smiled. “Don't worry guys, Leo only threatened with the divorce but he doesn't mean it because he knows the stack at hand.”“He better do else he will live in regret for the rest of his miserable life!” Linda added detestfully.“I hope he won't forget that!”“In the meantime, there press media will ask for an interview or our opinion concerning the incident that occurred today, don't worry we will assure the public that it wasn't no fault of yours, rather it was a test to ascertain your worth!” Selena assured.Leo's heart leaped with excitement. At least, he would be vindicated in the eyes of the public, and everyone would see it wasn't any fault of his - he only followed ordered.“You lost your job as a waiter last night,

Chapter Twelve Leo's head exploded at Linda's statement. Stunned, he glanced at Selena, Macbeth, Linx but none of them had a surprise look on their faces.It wasn't funny, but this only meant he would be free from any punishment that would have been dished his way.“Does that sound surprising to you?” Eliza inquired.“Uhm.. yeah…” Leo stammered, jolting to his feet.His hands unconsciously massage his nape as he breathes a silent sigh of relief.“Don't you want to know why I did that?”“Curiosity should be your speciality unless you are so dumb to even think!” Link murmured.“Of course he is dumb! What other signs do you want to see? Signs from the stars? It's only a dumb loser that will work as a waiter and dress so shambly like a loser of which,” Macbeth’s gaze travelled down Leo's body in silent assessment.“Obviously he is a loser!” He concluded.Leo gritted his teeth at the insult. Hell! Macbeth was his junior by five years yet, he hauled insult at him as though he was superior

Chapter Eleven Leo's heart accelerated as reality struck him like a thunderbolt.Those guys at the airport!They switched the briefcase, but how?He couldn't remember feeling any slightest touch of their hands on his body or a switch. What was happening? Why was he a target?“Damn it! I knew you were a big disgrace to manhood! You are so incompetent!”“Even the slightest small thing can't be entrusted into your hands!”“You are such a loser! If I was in Gregory's family, I would have had you sent out!”Leo's brain swallowed their voices, assimilating and decoding every sentence. Beads of perspiration broke free on his temple.His mind went to Linda's statement: There briefcase on the table contains confidential information, take it with you to Phoenix and give it to the shareholders after the meeting. Note! It's confidential! Don't dare give it out to anyone other than the shareholders!”How was he supposed to handle Gregory's family, and the consequences of his actions?“I am sorry,

Chapter Ten The statement took Leo by surprise. He wasn't a criminal, just here to do his job.The conference hall was long and in circles, with a centre table in the middle and shareholders, business partners sitting round it.The projector was on display with the topic “Making Innovations that matters.”Obviously, the conference meeting was about starting despite him being a minute late.Leo's heart went to Selena’s threat, and his hands quivered slightly.There was no time to focus on the threat, which he knew were not mere words.Advancing towards the centre with the attention of everyone focused on him, Leo cleared his throat.“My sincere apologies for being an inconvenience.” Leo stopped, scanning through their faces. Satisfied by their intense attention to him, Leo proceeded.“Let me introduce myself. My name is Leo and I am representing my wife, Selena in this conference meeting. It was Gregory's family agreement for me to be here.”Taking in a deep breath to regain his conf

Chapter NineLina?Leo's heart froze at the mention of Lina's name.Fear gripped him by his neck.Seeing him tremble made Selena victorious.Of course everyone thought her family was brilliant, calculative and responsible for all the strategic moves pulled in the company.What they never knew was that Selena was the brain behind everything.For the past three years, Leo had watched her manipulate things in her favours. He had watched her whirl many powers against her opponents.He had watched her make strategic moves. What she wants, she always gets it.And now, he watched her exercise the same forces over him. Manipulating him to do her bidding.His heart went to the screen with Jude Eric's picture still on display, guilt clawed its way into his heart.“I don't have all the time in the world!” Selena ordered. “Speak!”Leo swallowed the hard lump on his throat. Under forty eight hours, he had shade tears that could fill a bathtub.“Please leave Lina out of this. Don't involve her. I w

Chapter Eight “Jude Eric?”Gobsmacked, Leo gazed remained fixed at the television, with his attention not diverting away from the newscaster.“The news of Jude Eric, the famous attorney came as a direct shock to the public earlier this morning by five thirty a.m. Causes of death remain unknown.”The blonde lady continued reading from the piece of paper before her.“According to eyewitnesses, the car might have had a brake failure resulting in it colliding with a moving vehicle. Unfortunately, Attorney Jude Eric didn't survive it, and as for the other driver, he sustained a major injury and was rushed to the hospital immediately…”Leo's gaze averted to Selena. “You are responsible for this!”“Slow down, that confidence could make you the next victim! Unfortunately, I won't do that unless you provoke me.”Leo blinked incredulously. “Are you for real?”“Of course, I will go to any length. Besides, no one can do anything to me, including you.” Selena applauded, pacing in circles. “There
