CHAPTER 251
The betrayal he had felt when Neil turned his back on both him and Nathan was something Marcus could never forget, and he had promised himself that Neil would suffer for it. He still had some of the bruise marks on his body which Alex had inflicted on him. He had made a vow to make Neil pay for what he did to him and Nathan. Now that he was the working directly under Mr. Frost, the richest man in the city, he had all the power to bring Neil down once and for all. Marcus straightened his tie, adjusting his suit in the mirror, feeling the adrenaline surge through him. “How do I look?” She chewed majestically. “You look take-away!” Marcus raised his eyebrow in confusion. “Take-away?” April laughed. “It’s a phrase my Nigerian friend use often. It means you look amazing. You know, when something is amazing, you’d want to take it away.” she explained. “Oh.. ha! Creative.” April watched Marcus from the doorway, her fork paused halfway to her mouth. So, you ready? Just work toda
CHAPTER 252
Enrique slapped a file on the forum table, his eyes spreading across the room, making sure everyone was paying apt attention. Anita, Percy, Donald and his wife —Racheal, Vivian, Johnny and Blanco –kids of Donald, and two other top staff in the Davenport group sat across the table, staring straight at Enrique as he opened his mouth to speak. “It is a pleasure to have you all here today.” He began. “Ever since we stepped foot in London, we’ve had so many ups and downs. The family business has not been doing well lately, mother just got discharged from hospital and we lost our key gateway to Mr. Frost, Candace. Perhaps, we should have thought it through before we killed her and Collins. But it’s all good. We already have so much blood on our hands. That is how we survive. That is how we remain on top of the food chain. That is how…” “Can you just stop with the motivational speech already and cut to the chase? I have some tasks to do, ‘big brother.’” Anita sighed and looked away in
CHAPTER 253
Emma sat in her quiet office, slapping her fingers across the keyboard of her computer when an email popped up on her screen. The sender address displayed the name ‘Davenport Enterprises.’ Emma loved her life as Megan so much. It was the best character she had ever played in her life. Seeing how Vanessa was falling down a rabbit hole and getting angry like a bull was satisfying. But what was more satisfying was seeing how Alex was foolishly and blindly falling in love with her, even choosing her over his own Fiancee. Her mind drifted to many years ago when that same Alex drove her out of the business industry. Because she refused to indulge and serve him, Alex made sure she never got employed anywhere. Her dream of owning the biggest real estate firm in London came crashing after Nathan was dethroned as head of the Reed Empire and shamefully driven out of London. She spent 5 years of her life living from hand to mouth. Alex made sure she suffered to the core, tarnishing the go
CHAPTER 254
“So, I just got an email from this family saying they have a good business proposal for me. I was wondering if you know them. I wouldn’t want to strike a deal with anyone who Mr. Frost is not on good terms with. Davenport is the name. I think their CEO is Enrique. Enrique Davenport.” Emma replied. “Hmm.. I do not… wait. Hold on. Did you say Davenport? Enrique Davenport?” “Yes ma’am.” On the other end of the phone, Beatrice gasped in boiling anger and rage. How dare they? How dare those beasts? “Hold up. I will put you on the line with Mr. Frost right away and you will speak directly with him. He will tell you what to do.” Beatrice said and placed the call on hold. After a few seconds of waiting, the call was reconnected and a deep, resonant voice spoke. “Emma.” “Greetings, Mr. Frost.” “You have been doing a great job, Emma and I am proud of you. You have been able to milk so much from Alex without hurting yourself. You have my smile of approval. As soon as you get those do
CHAPTER 255
Neil, CEO of Brymid Hospital sat down, his legs crossed like a man set for life. He was having the best days of his life. This was because business was operating very excellently. Alex would definitely be proud of how much work he had done in Brymid. He took a bite into his chicken pie and flushed it down with the bottle of Ginger Ale on his table. He looked at himself in the mirror right beside the standing air conditioning. He was getting fat. His cheeks were swelling and he could almost barely see his neck. But he did not mind. He kept eating the junk on his table. He also didn't mind that he was selling so many fake, chemically enhanced products to his clients, making them return with a side effect of whatever medicine they were administered. This was the very foundation of Brymid hospital. At least, ever since it was stolen from Nathan five years ago. But Neil had no reason to be scared or bothered. He had the backing of Alex and even the authorities were aware of the hos
CHAPTER 256
“Loser! Is this how you treat your customers? You are a fool and should learn to show respect to your customers. I requested for coffee and not tea! Take this rubbish away from here right now, asshole!” Enrique barked at the receptionist. He was probably angry that he, Vivian and Donald had been waiting for the past 3 hours for Megan who promised to be with them on time. But they could only complain and get angry. Megan was practically doing them a favour. She was rubbing her Diamond with copper and this would definitely drop her value. So, if she told them to wait for an extra 12 hours, they would have to. “But sir, you requested…” “Did I ask for your fucking opinion?” Enrique snapped, his voice dripping with venom. The young receptionist flinched, her hands trembling as she tried to steady the tray of drinks. “Just take this fucking garbage and get me what I fucking asked for!”Vivian, who had been sitting next to Enrique, gave him a disapproving look. "Language, Enrique. L
CHAPTER 257
Donald looked momentarily flustered, but before he could speak, Vivian stepped in again, her tone smooth and confident. "Mrs. White, the Davenports have access to a network of highly influential individuals—people who control industries that are difficult to penetrate without the right connections. We can open doors that even your immense wealth might find difficult to unlock." Megan leaned back slightly, her lips curling into a half-smile. "Is that so? And what exactly do these connections offer me? Wealth? Power? Influence?" Vivian leaned forward, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial tone. "All of the above—and more. We can offer you access to information. Information that could be worth more than any amount of money." Megan’s expression remained neutral, but her interest was piqued. "Go on." "We know things that most people don’t," Vivian continued, her eyes gleaming with the thrill of the game. "About people in power—people who would pay handsomely to keep certain things hid
CHAPTER 258
“How are you?” Nathan asked Beatrice before she left his office after dropping her report. Beatrice was surprised that her boss suddenly asked that question. He had been looking downcast since the day started. She turned around and squinted her eyes. “I mean it. How are you? See, you’ve been working so hard on the Genesis project, on other projects, signing deals, making sure you fill in for me all the time. I have also burdened you with my long awaited revenge on Alex and the rest of my personal stuff. So, how is your own life? Are you holding up?” Nathan's voice softened, a rare hint of genuine concern breaking through his usual stoic demeanour. He leaned back in his chair, looking at Beatrice as if seeing her for the first time in weeks. Was he battling another demon? —Beatrice wondered. Beatrice blinked, clearly caught off guard. In all the months she’d worked with him, Nathan had never really asked about her well-being. Maybe just once, and it was casual. She always mainta
CHAPTER 259
Beatrice nodded, though she could see the toll it had taken on him. “I understand, boss. Permit me to share a piece of advice. While you're fighting for others, don’t lose sight of yourself. It’s easy to get swallowed by the darkness when you're chasing vengeance. Don’t let it consume you. I learnt it the hard way.” Nathan met her gaze, a flicker of something softer in his eyes before he quickly masked it. “So, you have your backstory too huh? I haven’t even had the time to hear them.” Beatrice smiled. “If it were a book, then it would contain more than 6 thousand chapters. Sure, i've had my lows. But…” Beatrice straightened, her smile fading into a look of professional focus. "...It is all bygone. I will walk you, as always. Just don’t forget to ask me how I’m doing every now and then." She winked, lightening the mood before turning to leave the office. Just then, Marcus walked in too, holding report sheets in his hand. “Boss, I did some inspection yesterday. We have been able t
CHAPTER 260
Nathan’s world seemed to collapse around him as Marcus spoke. The news that Kamsi was suffering, injured while trying to escape from Alex, cut through him with brutal force. The room suddenly seemed to fall below 0 degrees Celsius. The bones in his body were almost poking out and he could only do was stare in silence. His face went pale, and he could barely contain the surge of emotion that threatened to overwhelm him. His voice came out strained and choked. “Marcus, I um.. I need to know, what happened to her? How is she? You know, I once worked with her on a project and she did well. So, I have the right to worry.” Nathan stammered. Marcus found it a bit weird that his boss was being more worried than he should. But again, Mr. Frost was a good man both in heart and in words. Marcus’s eyes softened with sympathy. “It’s pretty serious. She jumped from the mansion to get away from Alex and broke her leg. She’s in a bad state and hasn’t been treated properly yet. I need to check
