Chapter 63 - Emily's New Day
Asher exhaled slightly, “I happen to know a friend who has been digging about SIM media and Gabriel Simon for a long time. I helped save his brother, and in return, he offered to help me since we both have the same objectives.”Jamie nodded thoughtfully, his lips opened but no words came out. He swallowed his saliva.“Asher, this will not be an easy task. If you want me to take this job, we need to be prepared for whatever outcome that might come as a result of this. The Simons are powerful and would do anything to fight against us, even if it means going the extra mile,” His voice was laced with uncertainty and fear.“I know, and I am ready. My friend is a powerful figure, he is willing to help us.”Jamie raised his brow, “May I know the name of this friend?”“He wants his identity to be kept hidden, but if you do as instructed and everything goes as planned, you will get to meet him.”Jamie scratched his chin. “Okay, let’s do it.” He said with a steady tone.Asher let out a knowing
Chapter 62 - Let's Play Games
Jamie kept his gaze fixated on Asher, as he wondered what business would bring him over to his place. Asher didn’t respond right away; he pulled out an envelope from his back pant pocket and placed it on the desk before him.“What’s that?” Jamie asked with his brow etched with curiosity.“I have something I think you will find interesting, something that had to do with you and myself,” Asher replied, his confidence was evident.Jamie furrowed his brow, as he glanced at the file. He felt a sense of unease coursing through his veins. As his mind raced with several thoughts.“I am not interested in whatever you have, I don’t want to get myself involved in your mess.” Jamie took a step back, showing no sign of taking the file. Asher let out a short laugh, “You should check it out. It might be of great help to you.” He continued. “It might be something that would prove you are innocent. We are both in the same boat, but mine is different because, without your help, I can still overcome w
Chapter 61 -First Huge Transaction
Emily was more than excited; being accepted into Blue Beam was a big stepping stone for her. She thanked Henry for helping her get a job.Why do they keep taking credit for something they didn’t do? First, was Edward taking credit for something he didn’t do, and now it’s Henry Marcus? Samuel Hughes waited patiently for Asher; he was done with selling the acres given to him. He made a huge profit, and people are still demanding more.He felt a surge of excitement in him; he might have taken longer than expected, but he was happy to have finalised every possible deal. He knew with what he had done, Asher would give him more deals, which would make him more money in future.His eyes scanned around for any sign of Asher, but not even his Shadow could be seen. Another thought ran through his mind.“Why would Asher always want them to have a meeting inside the car? Could he be hiding from someone?”If he had not witnessed the purchase at the Auction house, he might have doubted the acres
Chapter 60 - A NEW JOB
“Sir, she has a good résumé. And from what I saw, she was doing well at George’s corporation before her contract got terminated.”Asher knew about her résumé and ability to work, she was his ex-wife for three years. During those years, he had seen her have sleepless nights just to work on a project. There were times when he would even stay awake just to help her out.Truth be told, Emily was good for the position but he was worried that she might fix the dot and expose him. “It’s fine, let her have the job. Make sure you keep your eyes on her and remember our deal to keep my identity confidential,” he muttered.“Yes, Mr. Mancini,” she replied.After a few discussions about the team to be assigned to the project, Asher left the office.****Emily pushed the door open and stepped inside the house. She froze when her gaze met with Henry Marcus, he was seated on the leather sofa with his legs crossed and face lit with an amused smile.Mrs Deborah beamed like she had just won the lottery,
Chapter 59 - What position?
The next day, Asher was waiting for a report about SIM Media when he received a call from Sandra Westfall, the vice chairman of Blue Beam Construction.He answered the call, waiting to hear from the lady. A calm but Sharp voice mouthed from the other end. “Good morning, Mr. Mancini. How are you doing?”Asher, who was curious as to why she called, retorted. “I am fine, and you?”“I am doing okay,” she said, “there is something I would like to discuss with you at the office. Are you free?” Asher hesitated before he replied. “For now, I am free.”She sighed softly, “Alright, it’s about the report of the company’s new development, and we need your approval for a big project.”“Send me the time you want me at the office, and I will be there. Remember, I don’t want anyone there aside from you.”“Yes, I understand, Mr. Mancini.”“Okay.”After ending the call Asher left his home and made his way to the office. Upon arriving at the large building, he stood at the entrance and glanced around f
Chapter 58 - Second Payment
Henry inhaled and exhaled softly, then scratched his chin as he thought and contemplated what to do. “It’s a chicken change for Marcus, his family is rich. If he wants to help her he should clear her debts.” Someone whispered.“The old lady has no shame asking a stranger for help,” Another person chimed in.“Henry Marcus is a baller, and with just a phone call. Everything will be cleared.” Murmurs erupted from the side, as everyone was waiting to know what Henry’s next move would be like. At first, Henry was only trying to help. Had no idea the old lady was a debtor. He narrowed his eyes at her, there was nothing special about her. He thought about what to do with her or even what task to assign her. There was no way he was going to pay such an amount for her for free. His mind reeled through thoughts, he sighed and said. “Alright, I will pay the money. But after this day, you should stay away from her.” Aaron and his friends nodded. Henry retrieved his phone and immediately pun
Chapter 57 - Henry Marcus from Pearland
Asher stared at her; he couldn’t help but feel excited. He glanced at the scene with a smirk across his lips.Before she could react, Aaron stepped forward and smacked her face, he slapped her twice. Her face snapped sideways, the slap echoing through the street. She stumbled back, barely keeping her balance, her cheeks burning from the humiliation and pain.Aaron was about to raise his hand again when a man with silver hair in an impeccably tailored suit adjusted the cuff of his shirt, unbothered by the tension that was lingering in the air.“What do you think you are doing?” He spat out furiously.Aaron averted his gaze towards the figure, and the tall man ambled forward in annoyance. His expression was cold but calculative.“Why are you hitting a woman that’s old enough to be your mother? Don’t you have respect for the old woman?” He asked.“Who are you? And what’s your business in this?” Aaron asked.The young man gritted his teeth, his face was filled with anger. “I am Henry Mar
Chapter 56 - Payed For A Job
Aaron was about to utter a word but got cut off by the old lady. He gritted his teeth in annoyance and shot her a cold and menacing glance.“Asher, you wouldn’t believe what happened. These men.” Asher cut her off, “I wasn’t asking you,” he said firmly.Mrs Deborah’s face turned red, and her expression darkened. “Did Asher just do that to me?” What audacity!Aaron and his friends almost burst into laughter when they saw the expression on her face, but they held their teeth from shining so as not to offend Mr. Mancini.Aaron exhaled softly as he began to recount the event of that day. He felt a bit embarrassed explaining himself; he knew he made a big mistake, but he was only trying to double his money, and such opportunities come once. The small crowd gasped in shock; their expressions were mixed. At first, they thought Aaron and his men were trying to take advantage of her because he had borrowed her money but it was far from what they thought.Asher shook his head, after listenin
Chapter 55 - Take Her Away
Aaron and his friends frowned, the old lady was trying to play with them. They knew what they wanted, and they would get it by every possible means, even if it meant going over to her place to get it.Mrs. Deborah knew if they should call the police, there was no way she would escape it, she took money from him. She wished she could change the hands of time. If she was ever told that someone like Edward would betray the trust she had for him, she would never believe it. Aaron swung the pipe; the only thing holding him from taking action was because she was an old woman; even as a gangster, he didn’t forget his morals. But the old lady seems to be getting on his nerves with her reluctant behaviour. “Call your son this moment, we need him to cover over so we can talk about this and know when we will be getting my money.”Mrs. Deborah sighed nervously; she knew calling Jackson would be like setting him up for his death. She knew her son couldn’t stand up against the three hefty men,
