Chapter 91
The money he referred to as unreliable was actually Darius' money. And then he had gone ahead to propose a mouth watering deal for them. At this point in time, they were already aware of the fact that the Charlton Company had an ongoing contract with the Ladrak Company. It was expected that it wouldn't be a small deal at all. Even Carla's family knew that the Ladrak Company was about to rise in ranks of the biggest companies in the city. Being promised a business deal with one such company was unprecedented. "How will we refuse your goodwill to us Mr Churchill?" Madam Felicia replied with a happy smile on her face. She had decided right then and there that they were going to pick Philip and his father over Darius. In her mind, there was no way Darius would be able to do such a thing. "You just have to think about it well." Mr Churchill replied. "As long as you can give my son Philip what he wants then you'll have double of that measly money that he gave you and also an exclusive

'I've not seen Darius since that day...' Carla was lost in thought as she kept looking outside the window of her office. She had resumed at work for some days now and hadn't so much as seen Darius' shadow. It was like that since the day that he came to her house and was rejected by her family despite all he had done to get her back. Carla had been occupied with various thoughts about everything that was currently happening around her. She knew that Darius was really pissed and angry at her family and at Philip's family such that it felt like he was going to rip out their throats anytime, but even though she knew this, she didn't know his next course of action. Truth be told, a major part of her wanted punishment to rain down on all those people that saw her as merchandise. She harboured thoughts of how Darius could do it, but she still couldn't picture him doing it as she had yet to see Darius carry out any of his threats. But she hoped that if Darius hadn't been bluffing, then he

~SLAP!~It was a shocking scene. The young lady who had come to announce Philip's presence to Carla felt her head spinning in circles. It was like she felt the slap on behalf on Philip. It took some seconds to calm her wildly beating heart."Darius...?" She muttered. "Who is he?" She asked herself in a hushed tone without no one nearby to give her an answer. She didn't know who Darius was yet. It was normal as she was a new intern in the Company and was yet to be acquainted with a lot of people. She only knew Carla because she was working under her as some kind of secretary. Looking at Darius who had just hit Philip on the cheek, she wondered what kind of a person he was to have the guts to slap Philip. He definitely couldn't be a normal person given the status that Philip had. "How dare you?!" Philip thundered back in anger even as he clutched his throbbing cheek. It was only after he took some seconds to recover himself from the slap a bi so his angry question was quite late. He

The young lady hadn't been able to concentrate on her office work for the rest of the day, she just couldn't get her mind off what had happened. "Alex!" A voice shouted beside her. "Hmmm, what is it?" Alex, the young lady replied absentmindedly. "You've been spacing out all day!" Her colleague protested with a displeased expression. Alex pretended to glare at her colleague with an offended glare. "What do you mean, "pacing out"? I've been putting my mind to good use on this job." She said in her defence. "Really?" The other lady asked Alex with a curious gaze. "You started working here about two days ago but I already know that you don't give a shit about this job." She stated. "What?!" Alex exclaimed in a very subdued voice. "Can you stop saying that? Anyone who hears that get the wrong idea!" Alex said as her eyes darted around hoping that no one heard what her colleague said. "Don't put me in trouble, Sam." Alex pleaded eventually. "That depends.""Depends on what?" Alex as

But Philip didn't leave it up to his Dad. The very next morning, he showed up at his father's house, not even at the office this time. "I told you to leave it to me." Mr Churchill said in an annoyed tone. "I want to see how you're going to handle it." Philip insisted stubbornly. Mr Churchill looked at him in annoyance, a part of him wanted to send Philip back home but he thought about it differently again. 'I should show him how to command respect from people and how to make them do as he wishes. The future heir of my company can't be a dullard.' Mr Churchill inwardly thought. "Fine." He said with an exasperated sigh. "I'll let this pass since you have a personal grudge with Darius after everything he has done to besmirch your reputation." Like Mr Churchill always thought, any thing that was done to his family or Company was not to be taken lightly. He considered his company as a great one and wouldn't tolerate nonsense. "Let's go." He said and went into the car with Philip. *

'Who exactly is Darius?'This was a question that quite a number of people had about Darius. From his immediate family; his father, step mother and step brother James to even Carla and the entire Morris family, then the Churchills. They all had their reasons for asking this questions since they had known him to be a nobody and just a guy that was below average who couldn't take care of his own family. It was also known how he had looked for money to treat his mother's illness. But now, he suddenly became rich and powerful and his demeanor changed. Everyone was yet to understand the source of this new development and those who treated him wrongly and behaved wickedly towards him were starting to face the consequences and regret it one after the other.Mr Churchill was now beginning to get real wary of Darius. He felt like there was something important that he was ignorant about of concerning Darius.He trotted over to his car with different thoughts lingering in his head, he didn't e

Philip was happy, at the same time he was a bit confused. In the first place, his father wasn't the kind of person to bother himself with these kinds of things. He usually considered them a waste of time. Yes, he might have still reacted how he had been reacting under normal circumstances but this new statement that his father said gave Philip the thought that his father had ulterior motives. "You want to go to their house again?" Philip asked in confusion. "Why not just tell me what I should do? Aren't your hands filled up with a company to handle? You even have a project going on..." Philip stated. "You're not doing this because you want to get Carla back to me right?" Philip asked again upon seeing the expression on his father's face. Mr Churchill didn't want to answer his son's question, but Philip refused to back down without an answer. "You can just choose to see it as me just trying to gain something out of this." His father said with a cold expression on his face. "It woul

It was quite a long meeting. Mr Churchill and his son Philip eventually left some hours later. The father and son duo were both satisfied with how everything had proceeded by the time they left the Morris's house. Carla, who was just returning home from work, entered the house only to meet Madam Felicia seated in the living room. Sure, madam Felicia was always seated there but Carla couldn't help but feel that something was off. "You're back." Madam Felicia greeted with a nod. "Yes, I'm back granny." Carla decided to ignore the feeling she was having and turned to head inside to her room. "There's no need for you to go to the office tomorrow, and the day after that too." Madam Felicia suddenly declared. "What?! Who said so?" Carla blinked in surprise. "I have things to do at the office tomorrow." She added. Madam Felicia turned her head towards Carla with a glare. "Just stay at home like you're told, you can explain to your boss later." She replied. "But I don't recall planning

This weekend? Carla's eyes turned hazy and she felt like she had just been injected with a very tiring laxative. ~THUD~She slumped to the floor after her legs lost all strength and her mind turned into a jumbled mess. "What the hell are you doing on the floor?!" Madam Felicia yelled with a scowl. "This is why I didn't tell you anything at first. You always treat every information like it's bad news, especially when it's concerning matters about your own life." She complained in an annoyed tone. Carla's ears twitched upon hearing the words her grandmother uttered. "Matters about my own life?" She muttered in repeat. Then her face formed into an even deeper scowl than the one on her grandmother's face. "Don't bullshit me you old hag!" She spat with fury and suddenly stood up, the strength had returned to her legs because of the adrenaline fueled anger age was feeling."This has never been about my own life! You're just using me for your own convenience to get what you want. Alway

Chapter 100
Philip walked in through the doors wearing his leather jacket and pants with sneakers. He still hadn't changed this mode of dressing that Carla was starting to hate. He strode towards Carla without minding the others who were in the same room and drew close to her. "Wh-What are you trying to do?" Carla stammered in confusion. All Philip did in reply was to take both of her hands in his and pulled her up, startling her as she tried to wriggle free from his firm grasp. Iris who had stood close by took some steps backwards in shock and confusion at the fact that Philip had just walked in. On top of that, the first thing he did was to approach Carla and pull her up to her feet. She didn't even notice Carla trying to wriggle free from Philip. Iris and Irina both watched on in surprise and amazement along with the intrigued gazes of Carla's family as Philip leaned closely to Carla's face... ...and kissed her on the mouth affectionately. "Gasp!" Iris and Irina's breath were caught in th
