Let the party begin

He told Sasha as soon as he sat down "I've got a surprise that I can't wait to show you"Sasha smiled even wider and just then, Jakob affectionately grazed her palms and stood up,At this moment, he took the stage and began his welcoming speech "I want to thank everyone for coming out tonight to celebrate us.

From the political speech Jakob made, to his extended engagement with the high-profile CEOs at the party, she was starting to reflect on her choicesThe more she observed Jakob, the more she noticed that this party was more about forming strong business alliances for himStill, she tried to give him the benefit of the doubt and shook away the thoughts. However, one thing she could not dismiss was seeing Jakob affectionately kiss Diana's hand.Suddenly Margaret's voice broke her out of her trance "There's a problem" she leaned and whispered into Sasha's ear, sitting beside herSasha turned to her sharply with a troubled gaze "What's wrong Mom?"

The New virus
"Come in" Rico's stern voice followed immediately after the knock on the doorThe doors opened and revealed Graham walking into the room with Rico's guards surrounding him"Is this really necessary every time?" He sighed dejectedly as he approached Rico's tableThere was no response, Rico gestured his hands and sent his guards away. He removed his reading glasses, placed them on the table and slowly lifted his gaze to Graham "What are you doing here?" He asked with a tired sighGraham was indifferent to Rico's obvious detest. He pulled a seat opposite him, sat down and said "Why else would I be here than to discuss our mutual enemy, there's been some new developments" Graham said with a mischievous smileRico leaned back in his chair intrigued, eagerly waiting for Graham to share the newsGraham cleared his throat and said in an earnest tone, "I understand that you've been looking for a man" Rico was taken aback, what was Graham talking about? Could it be that he knew about...? He q

Unveiling the Truth
"Twelve million dollars?" Some people in the crowd immediately gasped in shock and started murmuring"Clearly, she must have read the numbers wrong," one person said Sylvia pursed her lips in disbelief, there it was boldly printed on the price tag. She couldn't believe it, no one could"It must be fake!" Jakob blurted furiously, stood up and marched onto the stage "Don't you see what is happening here? He thinks we are fools, that is why he can come in here and show us a fake painting that he probably bribed the seller at a flea market to add a few more zeros, I mean look at the painting. How real does it look?"At this time, most of the guests started murmuring about the authenticity of the art piece.Jakob started sneering "Mr Apollo, Isn't it a little distasteful for you to try and fool me at my engagement party, despite your wealth, couldn't you afford a real gift?"Dennis smiled faintly and asked, "What makes you think it's fake Mr Jakob?" This was the moment he had waited all

Captured
"Graham" Diana exclaimed "What are you doing here?" She frowned in confusion and askedGraham smiled, leaned forward and said in a low voice "Would you believe it if I said I missed my little sister?","Cut the crap, Graham! What do you want?" Diana retorted sharply"Hmm," Graham heaved a sigh and walked closer to her, "Could you believe how shocked I was when I found out my dear sister was in the city and having a party without me?" "That's cruel Diana" he mutteredAt this time Jakob stood up and sneered "Who the hell are you to crash my party?!" Graham scoffed, and looked around at the curious gazes of the crowd "It doesn't look much like a party to me"Without much thought, Jakob clenched his fists and lunged at Graham. He had been the subject of ridicule from Dennis this night, and any logical thought was beyond him. At this point, he needed someone to deflect his frustrations on.However, Graham tactically dodged his attack and with a series of quick maneuvering moves, kicked

When all else fails, try torture
"What the hell have you done with her?!" Dennis yelled agitatedly, clenching his fists in angerGraham chuckled condescendingly further aggravating DennisAt this time, Dennis had run out of patience, he huffed and clenched his fists angrily "You have one minute, start talking!" He growled, Yet again, Graham cracked a wry laugh, and said "You're not going to do anything to me, that's if you ever want to find her again"Graham was right, Dennis thought. If he beat him unconscious here, there would be no way to know where Kuza was imprisoned, and worse Rico could find out what she was. The few times he saw her, he had an air of suspicion about her, that was why Dennis had tried to keep Kuza hiddenAt this time, he wondered how Graham even found and captured her, was she not in Ruelle's care?"Oh don't worry Mr Apollo, the other woman. You're wondering about her, right? We didn't kill her. B*tch and her goons put up a tough fight, but in the end that wasn't enough" Graham interjected in

The Last Laugh
"Stop!" The voice echoed across the room attracting Dennis's attentionHe turned his head and stumbled upon Diana quickly approaching him. Dennis was puzzled at first and then suddenly, his expression changed abruptly"What are you doing?" Dennis asked frowning when Diana reached him"He's my brother still," she said Dennis huffed in disgust, refusing to take meaning of that. He was agitated and growled "And does that mean that he doesn't deserve to be punished?","You saw what he did to these people, how he terrorised them. Tell me, are they not people's brothers and families as well?!" Dennis yelled, refusing to mention Kuza on purpose. He knew by now Diana would have sensed Kuza's capture was the trigger that got him manic, and already knew that she would be someone special to himDiana extended her hand and grabbed Dennis's palms gently, trying to calm him down. She glanced at her brother and sneered coldlyAs much as she would like to see her pompous brother suffer for his acti

Accident
Diana was very curious about the strange events that happened that nightFirst was the ancient painting worth millions of dollars. She knew Dennis was a member of the Apollo family, but even then he wouldn't be able to spend that much money on a gift unless somehow he had access to their money.Her uncle had informed her that Dennis was estranged from the family, but he could be the key to them acquiring the Apollo wealth if she played her cards rightSomething was not adding up, and who was this mysterious girl she never heard of until this evening? Diana hated to admit it, because she always felt like a walking goddess, but seeing Dennis's reaction to her getting captured, she couldn't help but feel a little threatened.It was obvious, that whoever this girl was to Dennis, she would turn out to be her competition and Diana could not allow anyone to get in the way of her real mission here.For a moment, she thought whether to allow her despicable brother do to her as they pleased, b

"Who are you and what do you want?" Dennis groaned, crawling on the highway out of the car wreckage The man glared at Dennis in annoyance, "The almighty Dennis Apollo, you don't even recognize me, do you?" He said and then swung the baton around like practice "Well not that any of that matters. I'm going to make you regret what you did to me" the man said Dennis on the other hand was becoming furious, he had no time to deal with yet another person who held strong reservations against him.He shook his head and said mockingly "Trust me whatever you think I did to you, now is not the best time to go over it. So how about I give you my number and you can book an appointment with my secretary to talk about it" This was a classic tactic he learnt from Elder Akio, "When at a disadvantage, find a way to throw your opponent off focus by triggering his anger. An angry unstable man will always fight with anger and leave himself vulnerable" He remembered his master's wordsThere was an obvio
