Right in his presence, she walked to his Range Rover and deflated the four tyres as well.“I need my money, you prodigal son!” she cursed.“Mom! Did you see me in your dream? Why are you doing this?” Jack snarled, “You deflated the four tyres of my Aston Martin and my Range. Do you know how much they are worth? Why are you doing this? What is it with blowing ordinary one million dollars, just…”“You call one million dollars just?” Stella beamed, “Nathan Group started with my money, one hundred thousand dollars. We built, we waited and strategized. We earned every moment to invest and elevate this group to what it is today. I am not going to sit and watch you ruin it. What has come over you?”Jack still seethed stared at the tyres, gnashed his teeth and raked his fingers down his hair. “I want to go to school now. But you have deflated my tyres thereby denying me education. How do you expect me to go to school now?”Until you give me answer to the missing one million, you will go to sc

“Come on, stop, this fight it is leading nowhere. The time has come for you to quit letting Ethan live rent free in your head. He just launched his Ethan foundation and has sponsored the fees of 500 students, which is not an easy feat…”“Oh fuck it!” Jack snapped and curved his lips furiously. “You may go back and listen to his shitty sermon, I am not interested. From now till the end of time, that dude over there will remain my enemy.”Ella snorted heavily, and shrugged, “Well you have your car. And thank you for buying me a car, I won’t have to bother joining you in your car. You may go home if you want. I will join you later; we will meet at the club…”She turned around to go and Jack hesitated to say. “I don’t have a car for now.”She froze, “What did you just say?” she queried, an ounce of doubt hanging in her mind, “Did I hear you well?”“Of course you did,” he snapped and lowered his gaze pitiably, “I don’t have a car for now. My mom…” He breathed uneasily and added, “We had a

Jack was terrified seeing the convoy of executive cars parked in front of their house. Flanked around the cars were well-suited burly guards. “Who are they?” a voice asked within him as he neared them.He could see his mother’s car parked in the parking lot so obviously a VIP had come to pay them a visit.But instantly, he got the worst shocker of his life when he neared the entrance, and the guard restricted him from making entrance.“Hey, hey, excuse you! This is my mansion. Why are you stopping me?” he raised his voice as they held out their thick hands stopping him at a spot.“We are not sure this is your mansion!” one of the guards groaned, “Show us prove that this is your mansion. We saw you alight from the taxi, so what shows that you can afford this.”Jack boiled inwardly. “Jesus Christ!” he exclaimed gnashed his teeth and sagged his jaw. “This is my mansion for Christ’s sake. The fact that I alighted from the taxi doesn’t mean I am broke, OK I am Jack Nathan. My father owns t

Stella was in the hospital taking care of Nathan while Jack was in school when news of the fire outbreak broke out. To Stella their mansion was set ablaze by an unknown source. Although before she could get down, fire fighters had out a stopped the fire, but then she lost a huge part of the mansion.Gasping behind her was Jack. “How did this happen, mom? Oh my god!” he placed his hand on his head and began to scrutiny the the spoil, and ruin.“I can’t really tell,” her voice a bit teary and lost, shivered in her breath, “Ethan was supposed to make payment or this mansion today. In fact he phoned me earlier about our appointment. This is a red flag.Facially, Jack seethed, but inwardly, he leaped for joy. “Such a pity,” he neared her and petted her on the shoulders, “Now the mansion is ruined, how are we going to get the fifty million for dad’s surgery now? We really need that money.”She sniffed, “I placed a call to the accountant in our group, daring to know if any profit had been m

“What sort of question is that?” she snarled, “You engaged me before the entire student. It was the talk of the campus. Everyone witnessed it so why are you asking me that silly question. Everybody knows you are my boyfriend…”“This is not a matter of everybody knowing, this is matter of you standing for either me or Ethan,” He neared her and held her warm face, “I am a jealous lover and I hate to see you stand with him, let alone talk to him. If he is my enemy, he should also be your enemy.”Her face got meshed up like a spoilt burger. She wondered how possible his wish could be. Could she ever stay a day without talking to Ethan? Could she ever dare the gods?Possibly she could but before now; before Ethan became Arthur, right now she alone knew Ethan was irresistible like fresh rose.“Come on, we should be talking about your father’s health and not Ethan. Whatever I have with Ethan is not deep-rooted to the heart, just for formality’s sake and for the fact that he is my course mate
