Charlotte parted her lips, but when it was time for her to speak, it seemed as though her voice had been frozen.

She blinked several times, then she surrendered her weakness to her sister.

“Mr. Regal?” Elma stepped in at once, putting on a smile that was meant to be alluring.

“Trust me, I understand your concerns. But pulling these strings was very difficult for us, especially getting the Minister to be on board with this. He is taking a high risk, and mind you, if this project fails, we would

    “Are you really sure?” Brian had to ask for the umpteenth time, eyes on the young man standing before him.Alex nodded, then he took a deep breath.“You have asked me this same question countlessly, Brian. I am fine, you have to believe me.” He insisted, then a heavy sigh followed.“If you say so.” Brian retorted with a calm voice, nodding slowly.“It’s just that it's very hard to believe you, Alex. You look a mess…” He gestured to him, eyes keen with observation.“How is your father? The last time I inquired, you told me he was still in the hospital.”“Yeah…” Alex forced a smile, but he could barely hold onto it.“He is still in the hospital, but he is getting better…” He lied, voice unable to hold its grip.Brian stared at him without blinking, silently taking note of his unusual behavior.The tiny beads of sweat on his forehead, the inability to maintain eye contact, and even the fact that he was tapping his fingers in the air, something he did whenever he was nervous.“Are you sur

  • Blind Loyalty

    “I am not sure.” Alex retorted with a low tone, taking a deep breath.“But from the little I heard from my father, I think it unlocks something very sacred to your family…”“Like a treasure?”“I think so…” Alex nodded, then he reached for his top drawer.Rebecca kept her eyes on him, watching as he took out a piece of paper with a drawing.“This is what the key looks like.” Alex slid the paper toward her, and she grabbed it, lifting it toward her face.Her eyes stared at the sketch, and even though it was far from perfect, she was able to note the structure and also the fact that it was ancient.That made her curiosity rise, her eyes returning to the Attorney.“How do I find this key, Alex? Any idea where it could be?”Alex’s expression fell, revealing the thought inside his head.Rebecca tutted, her eyes sparkling with annoyance.“Of what use are you exactly?” Her tone was hostile, her pupils constricted with anger.“You have not been of any help to me, Alex. I wonder why I am still

    “I believe I have every right to get an answer from you…”“I am his daughter. His only child.” Rebecca fumed in rage, almost crushing her purse.Her flaming eyes were on the young man seated across the table, almost ready to consume him.“I am sorry, Miss Regal. But there is nothing I can do. I am just doing my job.” The young man explained, keeping a straight face.Rebecca snorted, her temper rising alongside her suspicion.“Did he put you up to this?”“Excuse me?” The man raised an eyebrow, bemusement in his eyes.“Who are you talking about?”“My nephew…” Rebecca took a deep breath. “Did he ask you not to tell me anything about my father’s Will?”The man looked away, then he cleared his throat.“Brian has nothing to do with this, Ma’am. I am just following due process. When the time is…”“I don’t care about any bloody process!” Rebecca slammed hard on the table, causing the man to flicker.She was still vibrating, bloodshot eyes firing arrows of contempt at the young man.She pointe

  • Raising a Progeny

    “What trap?” Quan asked in a hurry, right brow arched.Charlotte chuckled softly, returning her gaze to him.She could see the impatience in the Minister’s eyes, but keeping people in suspense seemed to be one of her hobbies.“Did you really think I was willing to let him get all of that percentage in returns?” She retorted, mischief dazzling in her eyes.Quan huffed, a delightful smile on his face.“You bad girl!” He hailed her, refusing to get rid of his smile.“I’ve always known you to be a mastermind; I just knew that you had something up your sleeve.” He sniggered, then he cleared his throat.“Tell me, Charlotte. What are you up to? What’s your plan to get rid of him?” He was anxious to receive a response, his smile leaving some room for his curiosity.“I have a plan.” Charlotte sank into the space beside the Minister, then she unfolded her arms.“Like I said…” She turned to face the Minister, sinister smile intact.“He is walking into a trap, and as soon as we are done with the

    “Who exactly do you think you are?” Quan was furious, standing before Brian and next to Charlotte.He ignored the silent gestures of the lady, pleading with him to be calm.“Who told you that you could walk out on us? In the meeting of a meeting?”“I didn’t just walk out, Minister Quan. I excused myself. I already told Miss Walker the reason why I need to go home. We can always have this meeting some other time, and at a more convenient hour.”Charlotte tried to avoid Brian’s eyes, but they caught up with her before she could escape the glance.She knew exactly what that look meant, but being aware that saying anything could fuel the Minister’s rage made her resist the urge to speak.She could feel her heart beating faster, enveloped by the tension hanging in the midst of the two men.“I am doing you a huge favor, Mr. Regal. What I am offering you is a lifetime opportunity. Owning over five hundred oil wells is a rare privilege. You should be on your knees, begging me to give you this

But pulling these strings was very difficult for us, especially getting the Minister to be on board with this. He is taking a high risk, and mind you, if this project fails, we would be owing the Government a huge amount of money. The people could also come for us for destroying public property.”Brian scoffed, causing the lady to stay silent.Elma took a deep breath, and when that was not enough, she let it out at once, bending her face to the ground.Brian faced the Minister, his stoic expression unwavering.“Miss Walker here told me that the Government has abandoned these oil wells for years. Now that we have decided to develop them, they suddenly remember that they belon
