As Michael fixed his gaze on Shelly, the room became suffocating. He had expected her to call everything a bluff, but she was dead serious.Something haunting was in her eyes, something he had never seen before. Shelly was always a tough, no-nonsense girl who wasn't afraid to take chances. But she appeared defeated and afraid of something.Everything was simply too much for him to take in at once."Listen to me, Michael," she said, "with your father in a mental institution, this leaves you in charge, and you can trade your freedom for the sinking company and, of course, the mansion.""But… but…?""Listen to me! I am not asking you to throw in the towel; we can get Daniel later, but now all your father's crimes and debt will be ours without this deal," she went on to explain."No, no, no," Michael cried out. His father's last visit had given him so much hope. He was very sure he had found a way to get them out of the ditch. He sounded so real, and there was no sign of a man who was lo

Michael looked long and hard at her; she looked lost like she had no idea where he was. He moved closer to face her and held her hands."Please tell me you are the one that signed the consent papers?"Shelly quickly got into acting, asking, "What forms? No one gave me any forms," she lied.Michael now began panicking; he had tried calling the hospital, but there were no records of where his father was transferred to."What's going on, Michael?"."The stupid hospital has no idea where my father is!" He yelled."What... how is that possible?" Shelly asked. She couldn't remember Daniel telling her which mental hospital he was taking George to."Shelly, you were supposed to make sure you were front and center on this!" Michael yelled, irritated.Shelly was left looking away; she did not care about George, a fact that even Michael knew but she was at least supposed to know where he was admitted.Finally, the car arrived, and they drove straight to the hospital and bugged into the hospital

With his head stinging like someone had hit him with a wooden prank, George slowly opened his eyes. He held on to his head, trying to remember what happened or where he was, but his aching head was too much for him to remember.With much difficulty, he finally opened his eyes. The white walls and ceilings got his attention; he was definitely not in his room or office. He immediately ignored the aching head and got up, looking around his surroundings.The entire room was so white that it pierced his eyes. There was a tiny window in the corner of the room, and to his left was a tiny white table and a huge white door.He could feel his heart racing in his chest. He jumped out of bed when he realized the white clothes he was wearing were not the ones he had put on in the morning.He remembered putting on a black suit with his favorite lucky charm tie, not the clothes he was wearing. And neither did he remember entering the room he was in. Without hesitation, he ran to the huge door, try

Shelly quickly ran to one of the trash bags, checking to make sure the things inside weren't theirs but to her shock they were.Even though they had handed over the mansion to Daniel, they did not anticipate the transfer of ownership in one day or Daniel moving in.So they had decided to freshen up before continuing their battle to get George out of Daniel's custody, but to their shock, they stumbled on all their personal things thrown in trash bags and placed near the gate.Shelly moved from one trash bag to the other in shock. She looked up at Michael, who already had his hands clenched into fists and was ready to storm the mansion.Daniel had already noticed the two and was moving toward them with a smile. He signaled his guards, and they quickly lined up at the entrance.Michael pushed on them, but they pushed back, almost sending him to the ground."You stupid fool, show your ugly face!" Michael yelled on top of his voice.Daniel signaled his men to move."Pick up your trash and

The morning came with the news of Daniel's takeover of Lidigo all over the news and social media. Most people were confused as to why he would buy a dying company that no one wanted to be associated with, but Daniel had a plan; he knew exactly what he was doing.Early in the morning, he woke up in his new mansion. He did not like the place, but he was only there for purpose of power. Throwing Michael and Shelly away like trash felt fulfilling. He felt like he had placed a nail in the coffin. It was not the last nail but it felt good gathering it in.However there was no time to relax; with George completely out of the way, he was sure the partner was going to go for him. He felt prepared and ready to sort them out; he doubted they would reach out to Shelly or Michael, which only meant they would soon reveal themselves.He quickly grabbed his laptop and turned it on. His new morning schedule had just begun. The first thing was to check on his aunt; even though Rexa was doing a great jo

After selling off some of her jewelry, Shelly and Michael finally managed to find a cheap motel to finally relax their tired legs. For the first time in their lives, they slept on the streets like dogs.Michael felt disgusted with himself; he felt like a failure. He had been so comfortable in life that he never made plans for unforeseen circumstances like what had just happened to them.He had no hidden accounts, no hidden safe deposit boxes, nothing, and with the frozen accounts, whose money was probably going to go to the legal fees, he had nothing to his name.He had been crushed financially, emotionally, and physically. And the worst part of it all was that he had no idea how to get himself out of the tangled web, especially freeing his father from the stupid sewer rat.Shelly looked to have a plan, but he did not like the plan. Josh Hamilton was never a fan of his father. He had no idea about their history, but the two always seemed to avoid each other, which never made sense con

As much as he wanted to pretend on his phone that everything was okay, his heart was beating very fast. For the first time, he was scared. Someone wanted him dead, and they were not beating around the bush.He quickly called his secretary and began making plans that he had not planned to make. He planned to give Rexa enough time to diffuse the bomb.There was a good chance that whoever planted the bomb was watching and wanted a front-row seat, but he wasn't going to give them what they wanted.Fortunately, Rexa diffused the bomb and gave him the all-clear. Daniel clenched his hands, pissed. Michael and Shelly were into much shit to waste money on a useless bomb, or maybe he was underestimating them.But his money was on the old partner, and he needed to speed up his investigation into finding out their identity.And the trip he was about to take would provide some of the answers, so he planned to proceed as planned and headed to the airport as if nothing had happened."Rexa I want you

Josh stared at Shelly long and hard, as if he were analyzing her rather than analyzing what she was saying. He took a sip of his wine again and, as she went on to explain the war between the Meyers and the Lanes. She topped it up with all the perfect devices Daniel had ever made."Remember all those devices he made when he had nothing, now imagine what he can create with all the money he has now?" she leaned forward.Josh chuckled. "Are you sure you are not smoking whatever George is smoking?"Shelly rolled her eyes in annoyance; the man did not appear to be as intelligent as he led the outside world to believe. She did not expect him to believe her instantly, but with the evidence she was giving him, she expected him to at least ask the right questions."Is this why you gave up Lidigo easily and without a fight? Is it because you were scared of this alien technology you claim? Is it dangerous?"Shelly looked away. "I guess you are not that smart; maybe I should have given this vital
