Chapter 88 - Atlantis of the Sands
Don Francisco leaned on the table, both hands pressing into the polished wood as he stared directly into Asher’s eyes.“I’ll get to the point,” he said. “I don’t care about the artefacts, the gold trinkets, the ruins, or the traps on that map.”His voice dropped lower, becoming more intense.“I want the diamond.”Asher remained motionless. “There are several marked zones. Many could be vaults.”Don Francisco chuckled. “You have studied the map. Don’t insult me. You know exactly where the diamond is hidden.” Asher’s lips twitched into a faint smile. “If I did, I wouldn’t be here. I would have gone for it a long time, who wouldn’t want to be rich.”Francisco’s face turned from plain to dark; his smile faded as he stared coldly at Asher.“Don’t lie to me, you wouldn’t have gotten the map if you didn’t know what it contained. Stewart, is that true.”“Yes, boss.” He replied nodding in agreement..“That’s why I need you,” Don Francisco said, his voice returning to its earlier rhythm. “You’
Chapter 87 - Single Oak Table
Asher followed without a word, walking in silence through the garden path that led to a three-story mansion at the centre of the estate. The structure was modern—glass panels, minimalist stone, and a shimmering black door.Inside, the house was bizarrely empty. No furniture, no paintings, not even dust. Just polished floors and silence, save for the echo of their footsteps.They led him to a dining room.There, in the centre of the hollow beauty, sat a single oak table. Heavy. Old. Ornate.A fat man lounged in one of the chairs, a wide grin stretching across his greasy face. He wore a white shirt so tight the buttons strained against his belly. His gold chain glinted with every movement.To his right stood a familiar face, Stewart. Asher frowned when he spotted Stewart, the same man from the timeless treasure gallery. The same man from the antique house.The same man who had once been warned violently to stay away from Asher by Vandy. Now here he was, looking smug and untouchable.D
Chapter 86 - Giveaway Was On Their Necks
Asher paused for a moment, whoever it was that just called him knew something that he didn’t. He had spent weeks looking for Isabella but someone else had her in custody.His face turned red when he thought about what the unknown figure demanded in exchange for her. The map!But how did he know he had the map, and who could be the person on the other end?After a long pause, he stepped forward only to find Emily standing before him with a stoic expression. Her arms crossed below her chest.“Emily, not now. I am not in the mood for whatever you have to say.” He said while trying to think through his situation at hand.“Asher, I want to know the truth?”He furrowed, “What truth?”“Did you, by any chance go into the vice chairman’s office while everyone was away?” Asher was caught off guard by her question, he shifted slightly. “When and why?” “Stop acting like you don’t know what I am talking about.”“Because I don’t know, Emily. Why accuse me of something I don’t know? Is this anot
Chapter 85
“Henry, I want to appreciate what you did for my family. You are such a generous man. I thought I wasn’t going to be inside.”Henry nodded with a smile, he waved his hand frantically. “It’s nothing,”“Ladies and gentlemen,” Sandra said, warmly smiling as she adjusted the microphone the moment she took to the stage, the guest’s eyes occasionally flicked towards the stage.The hum of conversation settled into a hush, the lights dimmed slightly as all eyes turned to the stage.“It’s my honour to welcome you once again to the blue beam construction 43rd anniversary celebration.” She began, “Today, we celebrate not just the passing of time, but the legacy, innovation and determination that has defined this company over the last decades.”A light applause followed, murmurs rippled through the crowd, and they nodded slowly.Many had their eyes on the stage, hoping to find the chairman.She continued after a slight pause, “Today marks incredible milestones, a year of building dreams, structu
Chapter 84 - I Know Who I Saw
Jeremy’s fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard, he pulled up the feed from the hallway camera stationed outside the vice chairman’s office.“There,” Emily said, but her eyes were wide in disbelief when what she saw was different. She leaned forward squinting. Everything felt strange at that moment.The man who emerged from the vice chairman’s office was Mark Spencer; the camera caught him clearly leaving and turning left just like Asher did.Emily’s breath hitched, as her mind raced.“Is that who you saw?” Sandra asked with her brow raised higher than the other.“No..no. I know who I saw.” She shook her head slowly.Jeremy had to zoom in slowly, “That’s Mr Mark; we all know he walks into the vice chairman’s office regularly. This is no big deal.”“He didn’t even look like him, I know who I saw. It was my ex-husband, Asher,” she said with her voice barely above a whisper.“Your what?” Sandra asked.Emily exhaled softly, she asked Jeremy to go back again. This time, insisting that he
Chapter 83- Ex-husband could be the chairman
“That can’t be possible, Henry. Those guards are following my instructions, whoever’s name is not on the list isn’t expected to be in the hall, that’s for security reasons.” Sandra responded. “And for your guests, what are their names?” “Deborah and Jackson Douglas.” He hurriedly replied. “I am sorry, but those two can’t get in. It’s an order from the chairman.” Sandra informed.“The chairman, what have they done?” He asked,His face turned pale; he might not know who the chairman was, but he was definitely sure the chairman had a reason. “what could they have done? Could they have offended the chairman? Is the chairman in the building?” He thought. “They offended the chairman, and he warned me to keep them out of the hall,” Sandra said.Henry exhaled softly, “Can I talk with the chairman, I need to apologize on their behalf. Those people are like family to me. You can still help me pull some string, Sandra.” “I wish I could, but for now the chairman is unavailable. But I will
