Frank's cubicle felt tight as though the air had been knocked out of the space. Chatters from Co–workers blurred into echoes. Mr. Ballard's gaze earlier was like a bullet shot from a Silenced pistol— lethal and venomous.

The phone on his table buzzed non-stop. His father was calling, Why?

Why?

His father disowned him five years ago. No calls. No Text. He just burnt the bridge. Now he was calling. Again, why? But Blake knew this was a crack. It wasn't reconciliation. The call, it has an agenda. All red flags.

He bragged about being the son of the mysterious CEO of Globulex, geared by the She–devil, Sarah and now, he didn't know what awaits him in the boardroom. Mr. Ballard's Expression wasn't joking. Sarah is gone and he was alone to face whatever the aftermath of his foolishness would be.

He forced his shoulder to straighten but he hunched, his suit felt heavy and useless, the phone still buzzing in his hand as he walked in the direction of the boardroom.

  • Bittered Devil.

    It was a scorching afternoon, Sarah was in his saloon, fully air conditioned. But she was hot. Really hot! The humiliation she faced at Globulex the previous day still clung to her like a second skin. Blake, the useless son-in-law of their family, the worthless man who leeches off their family had walked into a room she couldn't get close to the door, snatching the contract she'd schemed up with Clinton Kenneth to have. He'd defeated her to her game.The Position of the CEO is gone. Her pride, burned. “Get me the comb you, idiot!!!" She barked at her intern, venting venom on the innocent girl.Suddenly her phone rang. “Are you all deaf!! Bring me my phone!!" She barked, her voice cutting across like razorblade.Apprentices and customers startled to her voice. Two apprentices scampered and one of them grabbed her phone from a desk.Her hang swung in the air, slamming against the innocent grils face. She was bitter. Really bittered! How could she be defeated? Blake? Now she was drippi

  • Slapped really bad

    “Account number. I'll just transfer. Right away.” Blake said casually, his voice firm, staring at Mr. Jumbo, the stout man, waiting for him to call out the digits. His finger hovered the screen in readiness.Moses chuckled, hands jammed in his pocket, his eyes locked on Blake. A smug smirk tugged at the corner of his lips as though he was seeing Blake a failed experiment.He stepped forward, his boot crunching gravel, wristwatch glinting with arrogance.His voice came next, jagged and cruel like he was about to tear down a wimpy prey. “Listen, Mr. Peasant. If you think I was joking about tearing down this whole damned place then you're in for a big blow. You're buying your old man time and soon you'll fumble and you know what will happen after?" He smirked, cruelly. “You'll crumble at my feet and lick shits away from my boot. You're mine. My slave! Forever!" He laughed.Blake scoffed, a faint smile splitting his lips like Moses was only fantasizing. He was not a bit moved by his threa

  • Moses Voss

    “Moses Voss. That's my name but you know do you fucking know what I am?" Moses took two steps forward, his voice dripping venom. His thousand dollar shoe glinting like a threat and merely seeing the unbothered expression on Blake's face, he felt like crushing him right under his boot.“Do you fucking know what I am?” He repeated, his voice carrying weight, jagged. Blake caught the Tat of a roaring Tiger crawling on his neck, half covered by the shirt collar. “They call me tiger! Four fangs! I'm gonna screw your filthy ass and tear you down if you don't step out of the way.”His finger jabbed on Blake's chest. “ And if you're stubborn, I gat crazy and I’ mma grind your peasant bone, crush this whole place to ash and no one is going to stop me! No fucking butt!!" Moses Fumed.Moses Voss is a millionaire in the city, an investor with establishments crawling all over the city. Moses Voss? Money runs through his vein like blood. He's the kind of person who can kill his own blood for Gran

    “I..I li...” Frank's lips was on fire. A female reporter held a microphone to his mouth, waiting for him to speak. The lady was confused, wondering why Frank was shaking.The wide smile on her face dropped, replaced with an expression of confusion.Frank continued, his voice twisting. “I lied... I'm.. I'm not the Son of Globulex.”Gasps passed over the air.The confession stung the air like bee. Reporter charged forward, microphone held to catch the snippets.Cameras flashed like lightning.The female reporter was awestruck, her jaw sagging mid–air but the microphone in her hand was still, like a gun held against an enemy.She squinted, obviously confused. “What are you talking about, sir? Are you saying you aren't a....a son of Globulex?”Frank's breath caught. The question hit harder than Mr. Ballard's blow. It struck harder than his fantasy.He couldn't look at the camera. “Yes.” He said, his voice barely above whispers. “Speak louder!" Mr. Ballard barked at the back.This was t

  • Scandals and regret

    Mr. Ballard's Expression to the call was akin to someone who had seen a ghost make an appearance. His body convulsed, finger trembling over the screen. Fear! Fear! Fear!“Quiet!!" He thundered, his voice cracking across like a whip.The room fell quiet on a whim, some board members startled to shock, papers clattered from their hands, briefcase hit the floor, spilling out old files and pens.Even Frank was shaken, jolted by Mr. Ballard's voice. He whirled and looked Mr. Ballard up and down. His trousers were shaking with his body like an old man who had been holding back pee for a long time, bladder at the extreme of collapsing. Only Juliana remained indifferent, keeping that scowl permanent on her face. She smirked, knowingly. She knew what was coming.Mr. Ballard didn't wipe his sweat. He picked the call, The phone pressed on his ear. “Helllo...sir..sir. ” His voice cracked like an old wall, trembling with unmistakable respect and fear.“What!!" He gasped, eyes landed on Juliana f

  • Tension and challenge.

    “Not yet!” A voice cut in from behind.The hall turned and all eyes settled on Juliana who had rose to her feet, her suit sharp, no crease, just razor smoothness, absorbing the light. She stepped out behind the desk, her heels jamming the floor like bullet hitting steel.She stopped a few metre away from Frank who had nearly collapsed from the earlier declaration.Julian smirk, her lips curling. Then she began, her voice smooth, dripping venom of destruction “Frank here has proven to be a Scum. Good. He's fired but...” Juliana paused, taking another step forward, her eyes cold. “...he has so step out and confess that everything he had said about being the son of Globulex is all false.” A heavy pause.Frank couldn't speak.“And, you accused a man unjustly, for stealing a phone without any evidence. You're a bad egg in this company and you're out! But not without apologizing to the man. And you'll do that in front of the world because you accused him falsely with your accomplice, Sara
