CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
The heavy oak door of the nondescript cafe pushed open, faintly jingling the bell above. The scent of roasted coffee beans filled the air, mingling with the damp air of the morning rain.“You are late Mr Jackson,” Abel Scott said, his voice low but firm, sipping the steaming hot cup of espresso before him. “I trust you have read the paper?” Mr Jackson muttered, sliding into the seat opposite him, his grey suit immaculate, he adjusted his cufflinks.Abel's eyes flickered to the folded paper from the cemetery lying tightly on cafe table.He picked it up, unfolding it with deliberate care. His fingers slightly shaking as he smoothened the paper. He slid the paper to Mr Jackson.“Look!” Abel said pointing at a picture of a coin.“This looks like a map.” Mr Jackson said, carefully studying the paper. “Read what it say below the coin.” Abel Scott requested.“The coin is the key to the Scott family gold reserves. It lies where their heart rests.” Mr Jackson said, reading the scrawled word
CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
Abel Scott adjusted his tie, the same tie Sarah had knotted for him. He stepped into the Vibe Corporation lobby clasping his fresh resume tightly.The receptionist's eyes were fixated on her screen, her finger clacking against the keyboard. Abel Scott cleared his throat in an attempt to register his presence. “Abel Scott, I'm here for the janitorial assistant interview,” his voice was soft and low.She looked up, her expression flat as the marble floor. “You again?” she muttered, flipping through a stack of paper.“Fill this paper and wait in that room,” she said, sliding across a form and pointing at the room on the other side of the hall. Abel Scott sat, his pen inscribing words against the paper. His phone buzzed. It was a text from Mr Jackson Alfred. “The acquisition of ABC corporation has been finalized, Vibe corporations and westbridge distributions are now under your control, Lord Abel Scott. Do you have any instructions?” Abel replied quickly. “Ensure I get the janitor jo
CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
A black sedan rolled up in front of the apartment with two vehicles trailing it.“Good morning Abel” Sarah said, placing her lips on his cheeks.”Good morning mum, Good morning da,” she said, moving quickly to the door. A calm demeanor envelops her like armour. The driver stepped out of the sedan quickly. “Good morning, Madam Sarah.” He said, bowing slightly. She smiled faintly at the bodyguards and staff, masking the commotion inside her head.“Good morning, everyone,” Sarah said, slipping into the back seat. As the car sped past the high-rise buildings of the city to Ashton hills, she stared out the window, squeezing her phone. “I did not just see him, I humiliated him. You should see the shock on his face.” Lisa's words scraped through her mind, causing her to bite her lips. She turned her gaze from the window to the road in front of her. “Divorce him!!” Elena's voice rang through her head. “You are going forward, don't let this deadweight you call husband drag you down wi
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
Sarah glanced at the phone, her stomach tightened. She hesitated then swiped the phone to answer. “Hello?” Lisa's voice bellowed from the speakers.Sarah put the speaker so she and Abel Scott could hear everything. “Hello,” Sarah responded.A mocking laughter echoed through the speakers. “Well, cousin, I had the most interesting day. Guess who I saw at the interview panel today?” “You saw Abel.” Sarah's throat went dry. Lisa Lawrence scoffed a little harder. “No, I did not just see him, I humiliated him.” she laughed again. “You should have seen the shock on his face when he saw me. He froze like a deer caught in the headlights.” She added.“When I reminded everyone of the loser he is, he practically sank in his seat. Men!, his facial expressions were priceless” Lisa said, giggling really hard. “Lisa why would you do that, have you not caused enough trouble already?” Sarah said, her lips pressed together to stop her voice from shaking. Lisa laughed, “trouble?” she laughed again,
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
“Taxi, Taxi” Abel Scott waved. An old blue cab slowed to a stop. The driver rolled the window down“Where are you headed, sir?”“Take me to the Auburn apartments,” He said quietly, sliding into the back of the car. His chest was heavy, the vibe corporation building, the cold receptionist, the mocking laughter in the interview room, the smirk on Lisa’s face as she said “Well, well, look who crawled out”It all clogged his mind like a spider web that cannot be shaken off. He shut the taxi door muffling the noise of the city. For a moment, there was tranquility and a faint smell of gasoline. He leaned his head against the glass, staring blankly at the buildings rushing by. The voice in his head was louder than the horns outside. “Well, well, look who crawled out of the shadows” The words Lisa Lawrence struck deep pain into his heart.“What was Lisa doing on the interview panel?” “The vandels have not even purchased the company yet.”“She has the effrontery to show her face again aft
CHAPTER TWENTY
Abel Scott arrived at the vibe corporation office. The company he is applying to for the janitorial assistant position. As soon as he stepped into the parking lot, a purple Rolls-Royce parked in a spot across from him. He looked at the car without intending to and saw a young couple getting out of the car. The man was wearing a branded suit, looking very handsome and smart. Meanwhile, the lady was dressed in a flamboyant style. Her skin was glowing. As it turned out, the lady was Bianca Lawrence, twin sister to Lisa Lawrence and cousin to Sarah, his wife. And the man Alex vandel, the second son of lord Ammon vandel. Abel Scott's eyes flamed up. “What are they doing here?” He asked himself, confused. He couldn’t figure out why they were here but the best thing he could do was to avoid them because he had a greater plan for them.However, the more he tried to hide from them the more they were likely to see him. Bianca caught sight of him from the corner of her eyes. “Hi, Abel!”
