When you want something done right, you do it yourself.That logic was the reason Adrian took the day off.He had built the network to run smoothly without him.But maybe that had been his mistake.He had wasted years on an unworthy family while giving only half his effort to what truly mattered.Here he was with better resources, yet he was more focused on other responsibilities.All while giving half-efforts to what mattered most.The woman who saved him from being broken by a mother who had felt more like an enemy.Adrian drove his fist harder into the dummy as though violenc

“Yeah, let's go with that.”Adrian barely looked winded as he wiped the sweat from his arms. “Roll out the upgrade today. Add the twenty per cent off skin purchase for fifteen days. I want more people familiar with our site before Ascension launch.”“Yes, sir,” Edward said as he closed the file in his hand.He tucked it back into his suitcase and turned to leave.If he thought Adrian was uncharacteristically running late today, he kept the thought to himself.After all, that was the first time the chairman didn't head out early.Earlier, Edward had noticed something dangerous in Adrian's eyes.The look of a predator preparing to strike. If Edward wasn't trained in corporate survival, he might have started confessing his sins the moment Adrian looked at him. Edward was almost out the door when Adrian's voice reached him.“I won't be coming in today. I have things to handle.”“Yes, sir,” Edward responded swiftly. “Do you want me to tell your manager?”“Don't worry. I will tell him,”

Before he could blink, blue badges were immediately flashed at him.“What are you talking about? Do you know who I am?” the regional environmental compliance director sputtered even as he was held.“Very well,” said one of the officers as he flashed the warrant in his hand at him.Garret Han started sweating as he saw the judge’s stamp under the listed offences of bribery, abuse of regulatory authority, falsification of environmental oversight records, and the fraudulent issuance of environmental compliance certifications tied to multiple federally supervised development projects.The innocent feared nothing.Garret’s sweat pooled on his custom suit as he looked back at his thin-reed wife.

This free chapter is dedicated to Reuben OgbonnayaThank you for your consistent reading and reviews.I really do appreciate it.***The pain throbbing inside Adrian was not visible in his expression. Yet it festered like an unrelenting cancer. That night, he found it hard to sleep as he checked the details he got over and over again.Maybe this Dahlia was linked to his aunt somehow.Yet despite the bleary eyes gotten from a sleepless night, Adrian couldn’t find any useful similarity as dawn painted the sky in its glorious hues. The only similarity was that this Dahlia had changed her name from Sue Robert to Dahlia Kingston.Adrian only knew Dahlia had changed her name. He had no idea what she changed it to. The fear he had been trying to tamp down reared its head again.What if…something had happened to her?What if he was already too late?He succeeded in dismissing the impossible thought. Yet the simmering anger stayed ripe in him.He directed it firmly at the original cause.

“Sir, I swear I know nothing about it!”Scott couldn’t shake Henry’s voice as he stared at the bare wall hours later. After threatening to sack anyone who dared gossip about what they saw, he dragged Henry aside and demanded an explanation.“Prank, sir?” Henry had answered in confusion. “I wouldn’t dare, sir. I was coming to you to…”“The writing on the wall, Henry. I swear I will make you suffer for trying such shit on me!”The fool had looked even more confused after that.“What writing, sir?”“Still pretending?” Scott had dragged him by the lapel and pushed him through his office door.“Look for yourself, you moron! Look what you did to my wall! How dare you?!” he had snapped without stepping inside himself.Henry had been quiet for a moment.Then he said, “Sir, apart from the art, there is nothing on the wall, sir."“What the fuck are you…?”He had almost stepped inside before the memory of that creepy writing made him step back again.His secretary arrived just then.The smell o

Inside the office, Scott had a pleased smile on his face as he leaned back in his seat.If those two swindlers decided to go low, then he could go lower as well. Everything in this company was his. If he decided to take it all, nobody would dare question him. He had been too soft with them all.Now he would begin to…He blinked as his eyes caught on something on the wall opposite him.Dread began to settle in his stomach as something he had once thought was just a hallucination began to happen again.On the dark wall of his office, right above the couch,
