With his eyes and mouth wide open, the old man, Grandpa Bruce was forced to ask, “Did you just say that the contract is signed?”

Grandpa Bruce leaned forward as he adjusted his goggles.

Every Teleimans relative had their neck craned like that of Giraffes as they struggled to catch a glimpse of the said contract.

They couldn't believe it, that Ruth and her so-called husband, a nonentity, has succeeded in sealing a deal that has eluded them. It was difficult to believe and come to this reality. It was like having the moon shining on daytime.

The document right before them was enough to clear their doubts except of course, Arthur Teleimans, who refused to come into terms with the truth that kept begging to be seen.

He was the only one unwilling to accept the new development.

Accepting it will make him a loser, a loser again, a fucking chronic loser. Didn't he bet that he would bow to Redmond? The most devastating of all was losing his only hope to turn around the plummeting state of hi

    “Is he really the one that came highly recommended by Lord Roosevelt?” Lara asked with her eyebrows raised before staring disdainfully at Redmond.“Yes, and we will be heading back to the party since father is faring better.” Rose said and turned to leave when Redmond stopped her in her tracks.“I suggest we go alone, only the driver can come.”“What? You must be kidding, right?” Lara turned towards Rose, “You can't risk your life by going alone with him. He doesn't even look capable of saving his own skin let alone yours. I suggest you take more men, ten of our best men with you.”“Multitude doesn't guarantee safety, as a matter of fact, it is the other way round. If this is going to work, you guys have to pay heed to my instructions.” Redmond replied coldly.“That dose…” Lara stopped as Rose waved her off, “Alright, Lets go Mr. Red” she signalled her driver to come along.“Dr. Hardy, should I do away with the camera?” One of the doctors asked naively. Dr.Hardy who has been silent so

    Whispers broke out like hissing fire. Accusatory stares, glances and whispers have started to surface. Redmond appears the guilty one.Rose sighed deeply, disappointment engraved on her gorgeous face while Dr. Hardy couldn't help but snigger profusely behind his hand.Time noted by Redmond was just seconds away yet, Mr Jefferson looked just the same. In fact, he appears to be faring better.“This guy is the biggest joke of the century.” A young doctor among them, admitted.“Lad thought he was Sherlock Holmes.” Another bout of laughter ensued.“Someone should get the camera ready. Am about to trend for at least a week.” Dr. Hardy giggled right in front of the silent Redmond.Dr. Hardy raised his left hand and took a pose, staring at his three millions dollars worth wrist watch, “It is abooout time…”“Sir,” one of the doctors with thin frame goggles pointed at Jefferson whose body had started making some strange movements. Silence forced its way in, leaving the room mute like a graveya

    “Depends on who is asking” Redmond replied icily. He didn't even flinch.She hinted with a haughty smile, “well, I'm Rose Jefferson. You came highly recommended by Lord Roosevelt himself.”“Oh, I see. I hope my terms were well laid out?”“Yes, we have that into consideration.”“You better do, lead the way eh” He said, leaving Rose a bit shocked. She was reluctant at first, more skeptical. Seeing the highly recommended whatever in a casual outfit, coupled with the not-so-good-looking for a home behind me made her doubt his credibility.It was fair to say that she had expected some James Bond in an Italian suit.She had only kept up with it because he came highly recommended by Mr. Roosevelt himself.Redmond sat beside her in the lead car. Just like that, they zoomed off, on their way to the highly rated dinner party hosted by the Jeffersons.Aunt Tana was still rooted at the spot, watching them until they were out of sight.She couldn't help but wonder about the nature of the trouble

    He withdrew his sturdy build and then squatted a bit, “Am sorry, you there” he apologized while he caressed what seemed like a bump. Ruth was already three months in but yet, she looked just like a virgin.“How is work, my dear?” Redmond leaped up with a smile.“Work is tough for me and baby” she admitted with a sad grin while holding her bump.“But we get it under control as far as daddy is here for us.” She said and collapsed to the sofa.“Have dinner already made for you… and the little one”“Oh my dear Red, what would I have done without you?” She confessed, her eyes blazing with admiration. She stared at her belly and said, “What do you think little one? Isn't daddy fabulous?” She giggled profusely.She jerked her head towards Redmond like she just remembered something, “Speaking about dinner, I would be going for the Jefferson’s dinner night tomorrow.”Redmond leaned forward with a slight frown, “Is everything alright? Why is it so sudden?”“Yeah, it is alright, at least for now

    Hahaha!“I tell you, that was the most ridiculous moves ever attempted by mankind,” Denver cackled as he tried to stop himself from laughing.“I think that was slik” Redmond coughed.“Oh, the great Bogeyman is being sarcastic now.”“Am just being honest here, though you were a bit off that day. Your khaki pants were something else, who did you say made it again, eh?” Both ventured into another spree of raucous laughter.“My dear stepmother, I want you to look special, you know, so I made this for you.” Denver mimicked. “Those were her exact words.” He remarked and both choked with laughter.Is really pleasing seeing you this way, Sir.” Denver confessed as the laughter died down. “Which way, pal?” Redmond asked casually, turning his neck towards him before signalling him to pass the cigarette that was in between his index finger and middle finger.The two gentlemen were having a good time, sitting on the short fence, surrounding Redmond's Bee farm.“Happy.” He paused and then took a g

  • Chapter 21(Grandpa Bruce's Turmoil)

    This morning Grandpa Bruce was already up and kicking. Crazy enough, he wasn't in his mansion. What is he up to? Where is he going?Should be the Auster Villa. That should be the obvious answer but where he stands at this point says a different thing.Where he stood was quite far from the Auster Villa, as a matter of fact, the place is a shadow of what Auster Villa represents both in aesthetics and value.He was at the other side of the Teleimans mansion. It came like a whirlwind from the east; Grandpa was on his way to Aunt Tana's home. Yeah, who would have thought?No one in the Teleimans family would believe such incredulous rumour if not for the splitting image of old Grandpa Bruce, a few footsteps away from Aunt Tana's doorway.This reverie was what everyone considered as a shift in power and focus. Arthur was no longer the one after Grandpa's heart. His ambitions of becoming the chairman has taken a considerable huge blow and they can't help but wonder if he would ever recover.
