“Because I am your fiancé, Monica have you forgotten?” He said, “Let me remind you, I am the man who has helped you out; you wouldn’t have been where you are today without my help. The Jerold deals and everything. Remember your marriage to Austin didn’t go as planned because of us. We are supposed to be married by now but I allowed you after saying you need time to finish the Project.”

Gerald wasn’t only heartbroken, but he was also sad that Monica denied him and even dared to humiliate him in public.

But did he just say he was the one behind the Jerold project?

What a jerk!

Gerald felt like he was in a corner, that Monica was about to sweep him under the carpet like she did to Austin.

“You did nothing for me,” she said, “You think I don’t know that the Jerold project was given to me because of the chairman, he admires me.”

She continued, her voice Sharp and firm. “Look, you had your moment. I don’t think this relationship is going to work. I heard what happened to your family, you

    “Mr. Brian, it’s not for sale. I am giving you the pills for free.” The old man looked at Asher with surprise, he couldn’t believe he received such an extraordinary pill for free. His heart was thrilled with excitement.“Thank you, Mr. Davis. I appreciate it.” Asher smiled, giving the man two Extra pills, “You shouldn’t take them at the same time, it will be dangerous for your health. You can sell them or keep them for the future.” ‘No, I don’t think I will sell them. I will keep them for the future, like you said,” he replied.“Mr. Brian, your son Antonio has been a problem in my neck, I am only keeping a blind eye because of you. I will not take it easy on him the next time.” Austin stated.“I am sorry, Mr. Davis. I will handle my son when I get home. That shouldn’t be a problem.” He replied.The men continued to talk. Mr. Brian was asking if there was anything he would need or any improvements to be made.****”At a restaurant downtown, Lucy sat by the window side waiting for h

    “You need to stop taking this lightly,” he said. “Your health is declining faster than you realise. If you keep brushing it off… You won’t last long. Drinking is making things worse. Your kidneys are already strained. If you keep pushing your body like this, it won’t be the enemies outside that take you down, it’ll be what’s eating you from the inside.”“How did he figure this out?” Was he truly a doctor just as Ruddy said? Should I open up to him and seek his help?” Mr. Brian thought inwardly.But what surprised him the most was that Austin only looked at his palm and his eyes to know what was wrong with him. “Mr. Davis, you are right about everything you just said. I am sick and the doctor said I will not last long, but I can’t stop drinking, not with what I am going through every day. Take a look at my only son, always getting me into trouble, my business has not fully recovered after what happened some months ago.”The old man almost dropped in tears as he watched Austin who kept

    Mrs. Sarah grabbed the documents and didn’t allow Monica to touch them. “Remember, you said I have been lazy. I have thought about it and don’t want to be lazy anymore, so I thought about going through the company’s documents because I want to know part of it.” Monica raised her brow as she stared at her mother for a moment, unsure of what to say. “I don’t understand, Mom. What are you planning?”Mrs. Sarah only smiled as she stared at Monica’s confused face. “What’s there that you don’t understand, I want to be part of the company. I will be taking the new role as Chief executive officer of the company.” Monica shook her head in disagreement. She couldn’t allow her mother to come into the company all of a sudden. She knew her mother was coming to the company because of something she couldn’t figure out. “No, Mom. You can just wake up one morning and decide you want to take a major role in the company. It’s impossible, I can’t allow that to happen.”She stared at Monica coldly, wi

    He then turned to Antonio, Monica and Richard. “Go on your knees and apologise to Mr. Davis immediately, or I will have your legs broken.” He commanded.Monica felt a surge of shame and the weight of the situation pressing down on her. She couldn’t believe what she just heard, being asked to kneel and apologise to Austin.Could this be a dream?How did she get to this point? She knew better than to disrespect Mr. Brian’s command, not after what she had witnessed at his house a few hours ago. Richard looked frustrated and disappointed. He wished he had never uttered a word or never joined Monica, this wouldn’t have happened, his reputation had been ruined. While Antonio didn’t look disappointed, his inner rage was boiling; he believed his father had gone nuts, or else why would he ask him to kneel before a man whom he was supposed to kill for cutting off his hand? Why would he kneel before Austin just because he sent him out of his birthday party?Mr. Brian’s eyes were blazing with

    Austin and Hannah had gotten home, and her gaze was blank as she stared at Austin intensely. “I am sorry for how things turned out,” he said apologetically.Hannah hurriedly shook her head, “No! It wasn’t your fault. She started it.” Hannah replied. She couldn’t tell what got into her that moment when she stood up to defend Austin. “But who is she? Why does she act like she knows you?” She asked, this was not her first time seeing Monica talking down on Austin, she remembered meeting her at the restaurant before now.Austin could only scratch his chin, as he thought of a way to explain it to Hannah. “We were supposed to get married, but things didn’t work out for both parties,” he began explaining how her father wanted her to get married to him, but Monica and her mother were against it, and they had to call off the wedding plans. He also started by being asked to get married and divorce her the same day so she could inherit her father’s property. Hannah paused for a moment as s

    Hannah nodded without hesitation, “Yes, let’s go home.”Monica was excited after knowing Austin and Hannah would be leaving, “You shouldn’t have been here, you aren’t on our level.” “Level you say,” he chuckled. “I don’t think any of you are above me.” He replied. “Always bragging, that’s why I never liked him.”“You will regret sending me out,” Austin said confidently. Austin and Hannah left the hall, Monica felt excited that she had humiliated Austin. But she still felt a bit of disappointment from the wine that was poured on her.Mr. Brian came back into the house, he had been on the other side with some friends. His eyes flickered around the hall in search of Austin, but he couldn’t seem to find him or the lady he saw him with.He looked confused, as he stepped closer and asked the guard who had been standing by the side. “Mr. Austin and the lady left not long ago.”“Left,” Mr. Brian looked surprised. “Did he say anything before leaving?” “No, but Master Antonio sent him out.
