Chapter Eighty-One: Lowly Return
“You can go in, Mr Harris.” Bernard let out a fresh sigh as he walked through the giant doors of Peak Hills Law Firm. After his charade the previous day at Amber’s house, he had promised himself to keep his anger in check. As he had expected, his return immediately drew curious glances from some of their colleagues, but none of them was brave enough to ask the question. Why return? Why return to a place where you were degraded and embarrassed. A place where your value was no longer worthy. The very place where you had been trampled on. Bernard felt the same. His subconscious mind kept pestering him with those words, words that he was certain others around him were thinking too. But why not, when he didn’t have anywhere else to go? “Mr Harris, welcome back,” one of his subordinates said as he walked into the door of his office. “Thank you, Josh,” Bernard responded swiftly and made for his seat, which was close to the room door. Since his demotion, he had been sharing the genera
Chapter Eighty-Two: A Father's Love
Vince scanned through the numerous documents lying lazily around on his office table. He had always had them well organized and neatly stacked but today, he didn’t feel so much like perfection. For the past few weeks, he had been so clumsy in his handling of works that some critics had started surfacing in forms of subtle jokes.Kate Finn, his grandmother had left too many puzzles for him to uncover which was eating him up. Bernard Harris’s return wasn’t without controversies. Vince’s bodyguards were wary of him but Vince knew there was more to his game than killing him off.A soft knock sounded at the door and when he looked up, his secretary walked in with a tall pale man right behind him and then another person, Gabriella Carris.“Mr Harris, they are here.” His secretary said, bowed slightly and turned to leave.Vince was agape. He had forgotten that he had instructed his secretary to bring in Mr Elliot whenever he arrived, and what the heck was Gabriella doing right there!“Mr Fi
Chapter Eighty-Three: What Cannot Be Undone
Jake’s eyes scanned through the entire floor as he sat at the reception waiting for Vince’s secretary. It had taken him days to come to the conclusion that he was going to return but now that he was here, it was starting to feel like a very bad idea. “Mr Finn…” He heard a feminine voice and turned around only to be faced with one of the company’s cleaning crews. He had never taken note of her face in the past but the uniform she had on gave him the clue. “Oh! My apologies, I was so addicted to calling you that, I don’t even remember what the newspaper said, Mr Desmond, is it?” “Darius, Jake Darius!” He responded firmly and looked away from her. The nosy woman smiled wearily and walked briskly away. Jake let out a frustrated sigh, he had been waiting for about twenty minutes and he had garnered so much unwanted attention since he walked through the doors of Peak Hills law firm. He would have been denied entrance if he hadn’t met Gabriella in the lobby who vouched for him. The sam
Chapter Eighty-Four: The Negotiations
Vince and Jake drove to the mansion in silence. Each lost in his own mind. Vince had refused his bodyguards riding with them and asked them to ride in the two other cars following him. He wanted to have his private moment with Jake but when the opportunity arose, he was too overwhelmed to take it.The car came to an abrupt stop in front of the house. Vince looked at the side mirror and saw that the bodyguards had caught up to them. Jake was about to exit from the car but Vince stopped him.“Let’s talk more Mr Darius, I apologize for accusing you earlier.”“I was disappointed Mr Finn but I accept your apology.”“Thank you.”Jake nodded his head affirmatively but he didn’t know what else to say to Vince. He hadn’t planned to return to the mansion as the scorn he was likely to face might break him harder than he already has. He stared longingly at the mansion's massive gate but he knew he didn’t want to walk through it.“You can’t avoid everyone forever, can you?” Vince said, catching
