“Who is on the line?”Francis asked with a deep tone.“Williams Mathias.” The voice on the other end replied.“Mr. Williams Mathias?” The shock in Francis’ voice didn’t go unnoticed. “I don’t want to have any business with or anyone associated with my family. Have you forgotten how I was falsely accused of been involved in a financial scandal that made the family get to the brink of bankruptcy? My parents couldn’t deal with it and they both died of high blood pressure.”“I understand your pain but please we need to meet, Young Boss.”Williams said with a remorseful tone.“What for? I don’t want to have anything to do with you.” Francis sneered.“After your parents’ death, investigations revealed the real culprit and your family, especially your grandfather, regretted their harsh treatment towards you. We have all been searching for you. We all want you to return home.”Francis sighed, “I have found another home, I have to go.”Francis was about to cut the call when Williams spoke.“Yo

“How am I supposed to know who is behind it?” Francis chuckled.“But yesterday, you assured me that I will secure a contract with Celestial Brand.”Francis cleared his throat, “I said that because I believe in your capabilities.”“Okay,” Jacelyn said with a low tone.“Jacelyn, please speak to Mister Silas. I don't know what my offence is but I am sorry. He shouldn't punish my whole family. They've terminated the contract with my family that implies that we are now bankrupt. Please help me.”A man knelt before Jacelyn. He had swollen and reddened eyes. It was obvious he had been crying.It was Jones Loryd.“I don't know how…” With a worried look, Jacelyn couldn't complete her statement because Francis spoke.“He is well connected. He and his family should be able to sort whatever mess they got into with Celestial Brand. Let's go and tell everyone this good news. Your position in the family is no longer threatened and no one would pressurize you to get married to someone better than me.

“I can't wait to see the effect.”Elias said sternly “You should be grateful that I am not sexually aroused otherwise, your wife would have warmed my bed tonight as part of her punishment.”“Wow, it seems you have a death wish.”Francis said coldly.Elias gave a mocking laughter. He and his bodyguards went out of the building.Francis couldn't let Elias go like that. He followed them.Francis pointed at Elias. “It's not enough that your partnership with Celestial Brand was terminated. You want to mourn and watch all you and your family worked for years to crumble, right?”“That can never happen. Do you know how long it took us to get to where we are in the business world today? I am not like your wife who sold her virtue for a deal.”Elias sneered and added. “I don't have any business with you. Don't push me to the wall.”Hahaha!Francis laughed. Next, he Pulled out his phone and placed a call to Williams Mathias.“Within the twinkle of an eye, set the Loryds' production company ablaz

For hours, Jacelyn remained in her room. Her eyes were swollen, an evidence that she had been crying. Francis went to the door, placed his head on it and said. “Jace, you’ve been in there for a long time. I understand how you feel but let me in. Other great opportunities will come again, your family do not worth your tears and worries.” Soon the door knob turned and Jacelyn allowed him in. “Francis, I feel terrible. Great opportunities? What opportunities can be greater than this one that I have lost with Celestial Brand and now, I am also jobless. My Mom will make life unbearable for me.” “I have heard enough, I’ll bring your food now or you have to divorce and marry one of the men your Mom wants for you.” Francis laughed. “Do I blame you? Of course not!” Jacelyn smiled and watched him leave the room. In a jiffy Francis was back with the tray containing her food. Slowly, she ate. Francis watched her closely. Inwardly he said. ‘For your tears and swollen eyes, your fami

Since Fred could barely talk, he stared at Francis “Now real men settle things quietly. The next time you desire my wife, be ready to die.” Francis pointed at him. Andrew sneered, “Take this thing out of here.” After the men threw Fred out, Andrew approached Francis and whispered. “What else will you have me do?” “Nothing much. Ensure my identity remains a secret.” Francis winked at him and walked out. “As you please,” Andrew gave a nod. Lilian looked at Drake. “Could the Carl live-in-son-in-law sort this out?” “I don't think so, maybe he has done a great thing for Mr. Andrew, and Andrew used this avenue to repay him.” Drake said. Francis was waiting by the roadside for a taxi when a vehicle came to a halt before him. Walking out of the car was a young man clad in military attire. “Henry!” Francis widened his eyes. “Field Marshal Francis. Good day sir.” Five years ago was the last time Francis saw Henry. They were platoon members when he carried out a short service with
