DOMINATING HIS FOES Chapter 9- The beginning
Mark Spencer leaned back in his chair, his gaze steady as it fixed on Edward George, who sat opposite him, fidgeting in his seat. Edward’s face was pale, his mind clearly racing. The pressure of his company’s impending collapse weighed heavily on his shoulders, but pride kept his hands from trembling.“Edward George,” Mark said, his voice smooth, the words like ice sliding through the air.Edward snapped his attention to Mark, his lips pressing together in a tight line. “Yes?”“I take it you know why I’m here,” Mark continued, never breaking eye contact.Edward nodded quickly, his jaw tight. “It’s about the offer, right?”A slight smirk tugged at the corner of Mark’s lips, a calculated gesture meant to keep Edward on edge. “You’re right. I’m here on behalf of Mr. Enzo Mancini. He wants to help your company. Think of it as a lifeline.”Mark leaned forward, his voice lowering to emphasize the gravity of his words. “Mr Mancini is willing to save your company if you agree to give him seve
DOMINATING HIS FOES Chapter 10 - Stressed
The doorbell rang, its shrill sound cutting through the soft hum of Emily’s home. Edward stood in front of the door, running a hand through his hair, trying to shake off the lingering stress of the day. His heart was beating fast. After everything that had happened with the deal, his mind was a mess, but he had no choice but to keep his composure for her.He wiped his palms on his pants and exhaled sharply. Then, with a deep breath, he reached for the handle and walked inside.“Edward!” Mrs. Deborah's voice was warm, but there was an edge of concern in it as she walked down the hallway toward him. Emily was just behind her mother, appearing in the doorway of the living room, wiping her hands on a dish towel.“Edward, you’re here. It’s good to see you,” Mrs. Deborah said, but her smile was strained, a question lurking in her eyes.“Good to see you too, Mrs. Deborah,” he replied, offering her a brief but sincere smile, though his mind was elsewhere. His gaze flicked to Emily, her eyes

Guests in sharp suits and sparkling gowns mingled, their voices rising in unison as laughter filled the grand hall. The guests gathered in the sprawling living room of Mr. Zack Sinclair, where a piano sat elegantly in the corner. Its key is occasionally graced by the fingers of an accomplished musician.The waiters dressed in black suits weaved through the crowd with trays of fine wine. The music was light, creating an atmosphere of grandeur without shadowing the lively conversations.Asher sat at the side, dressed in an impeccably tailored suit, with a Patek Philippe Grandmaster chime. His presence got the attention of everyone around, who were wondering who the young man was and where he was from.He was unbothered by the eye staring at him; People couldn’t stop admiring how he looked.

DOMINATING HIS FOES Chapter 12 - Exhibition invite
Edward’s gaze turned dark, “You lie, loser. I just signed a new deal with Mr. Enzo Mancini. And my company’s market value has increased. Whoever told you I sold my company is a liar and a loser.” Emily, unsure of what to do next, nodded in agreement. “I can see you are Jealous, she left me for you. Let’s be honest, what can you offer? Can you get her an invitation to an exclusive event?” “I can get her as many invitations as she wants, just name it.” “Stop bluffing, Asher,” Emily muttered. Edward paused and sneered. “Let’s make a bet then since you claimed you can.” “Since you called me a loser, you shouldn’t be afraid of me.” To Edward, it was impossible for Asher to get an invite from the top prominent families in the city. “Sure, I am not scared. You have nothing, my family are among the prominent families in town.” He bawled. “There is an exhibition coming up soon in the south city, it’s being held by the Simpson’s. If you get yourself an Invite, I will make sure I give you

It was obvious the man standing before them had a death wish. Does he think he can handle five of them? The man pointed his gun at Asher, “You should leave now you have the chance. I might forgive you and let it slide, but if you stand in our way, I will not think twice to kill you.” He gripped tightly to his gun.“Don’t say I didn’t warn you, let them go.” The men were boiling in rage; Asher wasn’t supposed to be in the picture. This was supposed to be an easy Job but With Asher stepping in, they seemed to be having a difficulty. A cold glint flashed on his eyes, “I don’t care which family you are from, this is none of your business. Take one more step, and I will pull the trigger.” Asher remained unfazed as he advanced.

Could this be a mere coincidence? Asher was standing before Mr Simpson. He shifted his gaze towards his son, who gave him a light nod. His expression softened, as an appreciative smile crossed his face.He approached Asher, extending his hand forward. Asher reciprocated, as the men shook hands firmly. “I can’t thank you enough, You have done more than I could have ever expected.

The scent of cigar smoke filled the air as Lionel sat on the leather sofa. Before him was his most trusted man, Ryan. He stood still with a crimson outlook, as he began to explain how the operation went.The more he spewed, the more, Lionel’s anger boiled inside him. Lionel, was known to be among the most feared underworld boss in the city, slammed his hand down on the desk, causing the glass of whiskey to slosh over the rim. His jaw clenched and muscles in his neck twitching. “Who the hell was he?” He barked in fury. The man standing before him had his face buried downward in fear. He knew better than to speak unless spoken to, so he waited.“He just ruined everything, he thought he could play the hero and walk away unscathed. I don’t think so,” he stood abruptly. “I want to know who he is, and who gave him the guts to kill my men. Find out everything about him, every single detail.”The man called Ryan, looked up. “Do you want him dead or alive?”Lionel’s gaze snapped towards Ry

He didn’t feel like playing the game the way everyone was doing, throwing money around like it was nothing. “$100 million.” “$120 million!’The auctioneer raised his brow and glanced around. “Do I get any $150 million?” Whispers were heard from the guest, as their eyes scanned around for anyone. “$150 million!” Asher raised his card; the room seemed paused as if everything had come to a halt.

Asher was mute; he knew they wouldn’t believe him if he said it out, “How I saw it shouldn’t be the issue here; what matters most is helping you.” Mr. March leaned closer, he thought about spilling it out. There is no need to hide it if he had seen it. His voice was low and trembling. “Six months ago, I started having this strange symptom after returning from the antique street. Pain in my joints, hallucinations, nightmares that felt real. Doctors couldn’t find anything, my wife was worried, and she came back home with someone, an old man who called himself the Grandfather Harold.”“Grandmaster Harold, that name sounds familiar,” Olivia said.Mr. March nodded, as he continued. “I was told it’s an evil spirit. That I came in contact with something I wasn’t to. He claimed it was feeding on me, using me to sustain itself and that something needed to be done. He offered me the treatment and told me that the main treatment would cost me a lot; it might include everything I have.”His e
Chapter 44 - Purple Hues
Olivia shook her head, “No, I don’t know them.” Asher smiled, as he chimed in. “They look like attention seekers.”Mrs. Deborah glared at Asher coldly, she was beginning to feel embarrassed. But wasn’t going to back down. “Mr. March, I am sorry for saying it out. I know it’s a top secret.” She paused, “I invested in your company through Edward George; we got informed that you are planning on bringing gold from Africa, and we are going to make a huge profit from it.”Mr. March furrowed his brow in confusion. He couldn’t remember making such statements. Neither does he remember having any meeting with any Edward George.The murmurs erupted from the crowd.“Mom, you should never have said this here. Edward will get angry, this might affect the deal between Edward and Mr. March.” Jackson whispered.“It will not,” she muttered.Asher shook his head, as he stared at both mother and son. They had no idea where they had invested their money.Olivia looked around, she noticed how eyes were st
Chapter 43 - Not Aware Of The Program
Olivia’s face turned red, as a hint of irritation flashed before her eyes. She looked at Asher. Asher’s jaw tightened, “Take your mom away; she has no business with anything that concerns me.” Jackson frowned, “What will you do if I don’t? I can see you are trying to reap the young lady of her hard-earned money.” “Don’t mind him; that’s how he goes about tricking young ladies of their money,” Mrs Deborah said disdainfully. Olivia’s anger grew deep; she couldn’t help but wonder why Asher always gets taunted by people whenever they see him. Despite everything they were saying, she still couldn’t shake the love she felt for him. “Do you know them?” Olivia asked. Asher was about to utter a word, but Jackson uttered a word. “Yes, don’t try to deny.” He threatened. “We know him; he was married to my sister and was a live-in son-in-law not until he got divorced and was kicked out of our house. I probably know he is living in a gutter.” “Mind the way you talk to me or else?” Ashe
Chapter 42 - Outing With Olivia
Edward was caught off guard by her question, he never anticipated it. “This is confidential, have you not been following our conversations,” Jackson said.“Yes, Mr. March wants this to be a top secret. I would have called him, but he might be busy, and not like that, I shared it with someone. I wouldn’t trick your family, believe me.” Emily thought about her engagement with Edward, and she trusted him; there was no way he would want to hurt her family. Besides, such opportunities are rare. She also knew Mr. March; he had made a lot of money from the importation and exportation of goods and services.“I will invest 1 million dollars,” she saidEdward smiled, he had just made almost 2 million dollars from his fake business scheme. “That’s good, I will be coming over first thing tomorrow morning to get the money.” The entire Douglas family were filled with excitement.

He was offered a seat beside Emily.Edward kept a mild expression as he tried to mask the shame he was feeling.“Edward, How is everything going! I know your family is among the leading powers in Kingwood, it will be easy for you to bounce back.” He nodded, even though he knew his family was inclining recently. He wouldn’t want to let his guard down not before this family who worship him like a mini God.Emily kept mute, unsure of what to say. She couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling that was weighing on her. Edward cleared his throat, as he leaned forward. “There is something I’d like to discuss with you all?” Mrs. Deborah straightened and smiled. Emily raised her brow in curiosity. She was wondering what he had to tell her family.“Is it about the marriage? When is it?” Mrs. Deborah intoned.Edward fe

“I want them to give me more time to gather their money,” she replied. Asher shook his head, this wasn’t the kind of reply he had anticipated. He wanted something brutal, something that would make the men beg for their lives.He saw the woman as someone who was scared and peaceful, but to Asher, there was no peace for the wicked.Jake and his men were wondering how Asher got to know Vandy. Their hearts beat in fear, the new underground boss wasn’t someone they would want to piss off. “Vandy, Do you know the lady?” Jake asked with a low and shaky voice.Vandy let out a mischievous smirk, “Must I know her before I help her. She is related to Mr. Mancini and whoever is related to Mr. Mancini is also my relative.” Asher raised his brow, as he smiled at Vandy’s words. That was an interesting line.Jake’s body trembled in fear; he knew he had gotten himself into something serious. He couldn’t believe Angela had someone like Asher to defend her. If he had known, he wouldn’t have treated h

With just a kick?, Jake’s hand broke, and he groaned bitterly.His men gaped in shock, as they witnessed the incident. Their heart boiled in hatred for Asher. “How dare you? I can see you are here to challenge!” One of the men said as his face reddened.Asher was annoyed, “You should all leave now, and never return.”“Who are you to tell us what to do.” Another man shouted. “You have three seconds to go on your knees and apologize to my boss before we cripple you.” Asher frowned, “Don’t piss me off today! Apologize to her this instant, and I will make sure I forget about everything that happened here today.”The men exchanged glances as their expressions turned dark. They couldn’t understand why a young man like Asher would want to sign his death with his hand. “You should never have come here. This was none of your busine

Mrs Loveth ignored his pleas, “Go gather your stuff; my decision is final. James will take over, make sure you assign all necessary documents to him.”His face was drained of all colour, and A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he stared at his brother, James. “Thank you, mom. I will return the family to glory.” James said smoothly.Mrs. Loveth walked out of the room, leaving the two brothers. Edward’s mind was a whirlwind of anger and humiliation, “I knew you had a hand in this; you should be careful. I am coming back to take my position as the CEO.”James let out a small smirk. “You shouldn’t be worried about me; you should be worried about where you are heading. What would people say when they see a former CEO working as an assistant.” Edward frowned, his hand curled into a fist. As his knuckles turned ghostly white. He couldn’t stand the shame any more, he angrily walked out of the room.Outside, he met an old lady, who happens to work for his mother. Upon seeing her he stiffen
Chapter 37 - Maybe It’s Karma?
Emily paced back and forth, with her mind pounding, as she kept wondering how would Mr. Mancini cancel the deal suddenly. Something seemed amiss; her mind raced through several thoughts.“Could Asher have a hand in this? Is he the Mr. Mancini?” She thought.Emily stared around in confusion, she grabbed her phone. As she punched in Asher’s number. Just as he answered, “I am going to ask you this just once, What did you do that for?” her anger shot up.“What are you talking about?” Asher responded.“You caused Edward to lose the deal, didn’t you? You were jealous that he has me, and he is doing better than you; that was why you sabotaged the deal?”Asher sniffed, “Emily, what do you take me for? What’s my business with Edward deal. I don’t care about you or him. So why then would I sabotage his deal.”Emily frowned, her eyes were blazing with fury. Asher was the last person who left the office, and she remembered him threatening to report to Mr Mancini. “I still can’t believe you; wha
