Chapter 21
Back when Manuel Rodriguez hadn’t been disowned by his father and made great contributions to Rodriguez Enterprises, his cousin Zachary, son of his once favorite uncle Don being the one person he adored after his father always looked down on him in various ways but he never retaliated not because he couldn’t but because of his adoration for his uncle.---At night, in Zachary’s room somewhere in Don Rodriguez’s villa, he sat on his bed gloating at the thought of Manuel coming out as Rodriguez Enterprises President/CEO with bruises. He picked up his phone and dialed the number he called the previous day but it wasn’t going through. Since it wasn’t going through, he planned to visit Rodriguez Enterprises tomorrow to visit his cousin and see for himself if the job was executed properly.Everyone living under Don’s roof had gone to bed including Zachary. But not too long after, in the stillness of the night, a figure creeped in through Zachary’s window into his bedroom with three other f

He raised his voice at Sophie, “Shut up! I’m talking to him and not you.” Turning to face his son he demanded again, “I’m talking to you!”Zachary was very much afraid of his father and lowered his head. “I sent some men after him.”Don sighed in exasperation. “Why are you such a dimwit? Going after him recklessly? I don’t care if you’re after his life but be smart about it. We’re in no position to make rash moves!” Standing up he turned to his wife who had streaks of dried tears on her face, “The only thing you’re good at is crying and throwing tantrums. Just take a good look at the child you’ve raised.” With that, he returned to his study.Sophie turned to her son and tried to talk to him but Zachary just stood up and walked out on her, returning to his room in a fit of anger.---Penelope sat on the purple themed bed in her room with a smile plastered to her face. Even though the company wasn’t the one she was aiming for, at least it helped pull her family’s company back from the b

“Or maybe I’m mistaken. The man clearly came here on a motorcycle so the only logical explanation for that is that Mr. Shaw sent that man to get the car for him.” The CEO nodded his head in a trance-like state. “Yes, that must be it.”Few days later, Manuel has Gavin drive him to the company. After going through some documents, he decided to check the financial records to see how it had been going. Picking up the first file and looking through it, he drops it halfway to pick the second.There were inconsistencies on the financial records that were not supposed to be there and these inconsistencies followed a pattern. It was like someone who had access to their finances, always snuck out little amount of money at the end of every month and what’s more interesting that should have obviously been noticed by Don when he was the chairman was that, once the company takes on a huge deal and gets paid for it, that month, it won’t just be the normal amount that is always withdrawn but a larger

“Five years ago, when you were working as the CEO, you approved the setup of the Cayman entity. You signed the first transfer. The board approved it as a ‘strategic contingency fund’ and only two people knew asides me, you and your uncle.” Wesley said.Manuel’s face didn’t change but his hands gripped the table, “That’s a lie. How’d you know about all this if you were just employed three years ago?”“I was originally employed seven years back but I was fired due to my negligence by your father when you were thrown out for not being aware of the supposed money you embezzled. Then I heard that Rodriguez Enterprises lost its current Chief Financial Officer at the time and had a change of President so I knew your uncle’s plan succeeded. I went to him three years ago and he helped me forge a new ID, I grew more beard and drank a lot making me obese. People couldn’t recognize me and so I applied again for the position with forged documents and was reinstated. And you should check your old si

Don sat in his car, the backseat with his driver taking him to his mall. He wanted to know how things were going over there as he hasn’t been able to come for his weekly checks. Just then, he received a message from an unknown number. As soon as he read it, he became silent for a while obviously lost in his own thoughts.Who could this be?He dialed his assistant’s number and she picked on the second ring. She wasn’t laid off when Don resigned and so she was given a change of job as a marketing assistant.“Good day sir, been a while,” Katherine said.“Yeah, I’m sending a number to you, trace it to the owner and send me the details,” Don said and hung up. It could be one of his competitors when he was still the acting President, anyways, they’ll be off his neck after the company’s annual anniversary.Then, it wasn’t long before his assistant called back with news, “Sir, the number wasn’t traced to anyone. The person that sent this to you was likely to have used a burner phone.”“Ok,” D

“Your ex-husband is so handsome and this was what you always wished for right? A man with these features…” Lisa said puzzled as to why her best friend would leave such a handsome man.“He’s handsome? Tch, he just looks like his failure to me,” Penelope scoffed. At first, when she was told to marry him, she thought she could put up with it but after coming to realize that her husband would remain a florist forever and she, the breadwinner she began to view him in another light. She had never viewed Manuel as a man.“Failure?” Lisa was becoming even more confused by the minute.“He married into my family as a matrilocal husband after my father brought him to our home. What’s worse, he never plays the role of a man but that of a woman. He cooks, cleans and is a florist for Pete’s sake. I pay the bills and take care of the family’s expenses and I still thought I could have him around. At least, in a way he was useful but then he had the guts to steal a very important proposal that I had b

Manuel had to head back to the office as he had a lot of things to work on. With the company’s anniversary drawing closer, he had to pick a fresh theme for the occasion, prepare his speech, approve the funds that will take care of the anniversary’s budget and the likes.At Don’s villa, Don sat in his bedroom vigorously shaking his leg from side to side with a nervous look plastered on his face. It’s now obvious that Wesley was ignoring him on purpose and he seemed to have blacklisted his number. He was mad that he started throwing anything his hands came across and Don didn’t intend on letting it slide.He organized some hitmen to pay Wesley a visit but that night, but instead, later on they sent a message to Don that they couldn’t handle the job. Don flung the papers that were stacked neatly on his desk to the floor, gritting his teeth and letting out a loud groan. Sophie saw all that her husband was going through, but she knew she couldn’t say anything to him in this state, knowing

Putting the files away, Manuel offered Don a seat. “What brings you here uncle?”Sitting down with a neutral expression, Don said, “Now that you’ve become both the President and the CEO, you don’t remember your family?”“Family?” Manuel asked with a plastered look on his face. “Oh! Sorry, that got me confused for a minute. I was too busy ensuring the well being of the company. After all, it’s the only thing my father left behind.”“Hmm” Don said in a low hum.Looking at his uncle with curious eyes, “But I don’t think you came all the way to the company just because you missed me uncle. Or is that it?”“Can’t I visit the company of my own accord? It wasn’t stated in the contract that I couldn’t,” Don replied. “And also, you have not sent me nor your cousin money for the month.”“I only have to send you money for the month, anything you do with it is none of my business and as for my cousin, he could try earning some because I don’t remember telling you in any way that I was going to se

Lisa leaned forward concerned but Penelope was still on the call. Right after the call was disconnected with the other person, Lisa finally asked. “Is anything the problem?”“The company I signed with called to say that I had to pay for losses on the basis that my so-called poorly drafted contract proposal was interpreted wrongly causing them to deviate from the main idea.” Penelope replied exasperated.“It’s obviously their fault. Why did those motherfu**ers sign the contract with me if they knew it was poorly drafted and now, I have to pay for losses that is way more than the money I’m earning from them.”Lisa patted her back gently, “It’s not your fault, just go home and rest for the day. At least, you look like you need one.”Wesley finished working extremely late, at the time, a lot of people had gone to their various houses. Wesley got into the parking lot and was walking towards his car. Opening the door of his car and about to get in, he was hit and knocked unconscious.Appare

The day of the company’s 26th annual anniversary had finally arrived and Mary Sullivan tagged along with her friends who had invites. They were able to get an invite for her and so she planned to flaunt her extravagance to the fullest.On getting there, while her friend’s invites were being verified and so she just looked around the entrance. Truly, the Rodriguez family lived up to its name. Every part of the entrance alone screamed power and luxury. Just then she caught sight of someone that made her mood instantly turn sour.Manuel was standing to the side of one of the boulders seemingly waiting for someone. He was dressed on just his joggers and a hoodie. He was late and still working on his speech and so he decided to dress casually and change at the venue but Gavin had not yet arrived with his outfit and the rest.Mary walked up to him and sneered, “What are you looking for?”“You’ve come to rob the rich or suck up to them. Which is it?”Manuel ignored her and continued to fiddl
