It was a new day at "The Legends". Logan Drakes had resumed as the CEO of the company, and Pa Drakes had handed over the other companies to Jakes, so he and Stephanie no longer worked at "The Legends", but were now overseeing the other companies Jakes's father left behind, both in Fitbuck and outside.On Logan's first day of work at the company, most of the staff greeted him cheerfully. He shook hands with some of them before entering the elevator up to his office. Some of the staff were happy to have him as their CEO, while others hated him believing he was a total stranger who manoeuvred his way into becoming the CEO. As soon as Logan arrived at his office, he flipped through the documents on his table and scheduled for the day. He began to sign some of the documents he needed to sign when he heard a knock on his door. " Come in, please," Logan said, as he continued to attend to the documents on his table. The door was pushed open and a tall-looking young man walked in. "Good day, S

"And which of the companies do you intend to give him?" Stephanie asked. "'Surety Alliance,' here in Fitbuck city," Jakes replied. Pa Drakes had taken his time to drive Jakes and Stephanie around Fitbuck city to show them all of Jakes's father's investments in the city. He had also told them the names of each investment, and they had kept them in mind.Amongst the companies which Pa Drakes showed Jakes, he could never have imagined that some of them belonged to his father, if Pa Drakes had not shown them to him, because some were not popularly known, and he didn't know that they ever existed.During the previous week, Pa Drakes had taken Jakes and Stephanie on a tour outside Fitbuck city to show them the other companies Jakes's father owned. So Jakes and Stephanie were fully intimated of all the companies and investments Jakes's father had left behind. "Surety Alliance is okay. I'm sure he'll appreciate it," Stephanie said. "Well, I pray he does. I decided to give him that company be

After Jakes had been able to see Pa Drakes and given "Surety Alliance" to him, he decided to go on his proposed trip to check on the other companies outside Fitbuck city, which he owned. The other cities where the other companies were were not very far from each other; this made it easy for Jakes. Even though he could not visit all the companies in a day, he planned to visit them within a week.Lucas had accompanied Jakes for the trip, as his assistant, so he was also privileged to visit all the places Jakes went to. He adhered to all instructions given to him by Jakes, making it easy for Jakes to inspect most of the investments within a short time. On one of their numerous trips, Jakes led Lucas into one of the big companies he owned, and Lucas looked around the company in awe."My goodness! Never knew that a bigger company than 'The Legends', ever existed. This man is stinkingly rich," Lucas thought to himself as he looked around the gigantic building. "I must tell John about my exp

Mr and Mrs Allison were relaxing beside the small pool in their compound. Sometimes, they preferred to relax outside, instead of staying indoors. "It seems like Michael is now a changed person. I got positive reports about him from one of the staff in the company, two weeks ago," Mr Allison said. "Your son has always been responsible. It's only that you don't trust him or his ability," Mrs Allison said."Don't say that dear. There were times you and I know that Michael misbehaved; or do you want to pretend not to be aware of those times?" Mr Allison asked. "Well, at least it's good that you can now testify of him being a changed person," Mrs Allison said. "We hope he continues this way. If he continues, he has a lot to gain from me. He'll propel me to be more confident in him," Mr Allison said."What about his plan concerning Jakes, I hope he hasn't forgotten that?" Mrs Allison asked her husband. "Well, I don't expect him to. It's one of the deals we had. That young man, Jakes must be

It was Friday. After so much persuasion from Mrs Allison for Michael to call off the wedding, it fell on deaf ears. Michael was determined to wed Rose quickly, so that she doesn't lose her cool and expose his secret to the world. Mr Allison had been informed about the wedding ceremony, but he made up his mind not to be there because he felt that he hadn't been carried along all this while.Mrs Allison was surprised to see who Michael was going to get married to. All these while, she had thought that Michael was getting married to the daughter of a rich man, and that was the more reason why he couldn't wait. But now, she was shocked to see the calibre of Rose's parents. They looked very poor and frail, and this made Mrs Allison angry throughout the wedding ceremony which was very brief with everyone dispersing to their various homes.Immediately after the wedding, Mrs Allison called Michael aside, "Were you hypnotised by this young lady and her family? How come you are getting married
