Vince watched in awe as the paramedics wheeled his grandmother out of the conference room. His heart was thumping loudly in his chest. He had to slow down his movements when he noticed that most of the staff had rushed out to the scene.

Jake Darius was already there hovering above her, trying to check her breathing.

After she was successfully rushed out of Peak Hills company, Vince was panting really hard.

Just like everyone else, he reluctantly returned to his office but before he did, he had called Jake Darius on the update about his grandmother’s health.

To his dismay, he wasn’t picking up his call.

Vince was furious, he checked through his phone and some blogs already posted about his grandmother’s fainting scenario. He banged his fist hard against the nearest wall when he heard a voice behind him.

“Why don’t you just succumb to fate?”

Vince turned around, he was faced with the most despicable person. At that moment, his loathe for Bernard Harris doubled and he wished that he cou

Chapter Forty-Four: One Wrong Reason
Primrose settled in on her chair and threw another candy into her mouth. Her attention was sorely focused on the monitor. She watched with interest the actions of the sales attendant she had caught the previous week. She was certain from the girl’s action that she was yet to detect that she had been busted. She kept attending to customers and her focus remained on what she was doing. Primrose zoomed the screen and took another look at her tattoo. She compared it with the one she had discovered and a cocky smile crept up on her lips.It was clear who put a tail on her, her old friend. An NIS agent who had helped arrange her release from jail. She contemplated the idea of confronting the girl but decided against it. At least it wasn’t like her life was in any danger.She discarded the notion and focused on the favor Vince had asked her. He had told her to choose the best, but Primrose still found it difficult. She had never attended such gatherings. And for the fact that attending
Chapter Forty-Three: Under Siege
Maria turned her face to the screen of the television. Not that the ongoing show interested her but for the fact that Bernard’s words irritated her gut. “As I had said earlier Miss Reed, Amber owes me an enormous apology.” The older woman turned to face the man with a sneer on her wrinkled face. She had always hated Bernard’s garrulous nature. And now, even after Amber had clearly cut ties with him, the fool wasn’t bulging a bit. This was the third time in the month that he was showing up at her house to lament about everything Amber her daughter had done. First, was orchestrating how he was demoted, then the abortion. And now he kept blabbing about wanting respect from Amber. “You seem to be getting something wrong. Amber never owes you anything, even her ex-husband…..” “Please don’t bring up that loser, Miss Reed.” Bernard cut in sharply. Maria felt insulted, but unlike how she reacted to Vince, a small part of her still decided to maintain her respect for Bernard Harris. B
Chapter Forty-Two: The Good Leader Follows
Bernard climbed the stairs angrily. He was panting hard as his health could no longer tolerate such intense stress. He was denied access to the VIP elevator but yet the CEO had invited him over. When he finally gathered his strength and got to the last floor, he stopped briefly to catch his breath again. It had been fifteen minutes since he had begun climbing and he was already two minutes behind schedule. He managed to drag himself over till he actually arrived at the front door of the CEO’s office. His late arrival hadn’t worried him at all, he was more concerned about what could actually be wrong? His instinct kept replaying his secret meeting with Blake and Pete the previous night. Had they betrayed him? He wondered desperately. He was about to knock on the door when it opened, his heart pounding intensified. Gabriella had opened it and she gave him a look which he couldn’t quite place. He ignored her bitchy attitude and just walked into the room. Bernard’s jaw dropped as he
Chapter Forty-one: The Defeated Hero
Bernard fastened his pace as he moved towards the club. He kept glancing nervously around until he was satisfied that he wasn’t being tailed. His gut instinct seemed more focused on not getting caught doing something bad, so he knew he had to be careful. One wrong move and he could kiss his job at Peak Hills goodbye. When he got to the front door, his face lightened up. Just as promised, Blake and Pete had been waiting for him. Together, the three of them walked into the clubhouse. As expected, it was less crowded that evening. It was a day that only VIP members were allowed. It used to be his frequent relaxation center before he was demoted; now, he couldn’t even afford to pay a week’s worth of bills. “Who is paying?” The cashier said as they walked up to her. Bernard felt insulted. He had always known the lanky woman very much. They had once had casual sex in the past, but now, she kept eyeing him maliciously with her overly long lashes. “I am.” Pete said and immediately pro
Chapter Forty: Why You Might Know
Now is the time!That was the thought that filled Vince’s mind as he alighted from his sports car. He took a long look at the giant inscription in the frontier of the company’s entrance. Finally, he was able to park his car in the driveway along with other vehicles.Vince had used his discretion. He chose to focus on using a little cheap car to avoid suspicion. Everyone now knew his salary had been tripled. He could, on average, afford some luxury for himself, so he was taking advantage of the new opportunity to actually enjoy a little part of his real wealth.He was about to get into the building when an entourage of cars came to an abrupt stop in front of the company. Jake Darius stepped out slowly and two bodyguards followed suit. The security at the doorway all bowed slightly as he walked past them.He ignored Vince’s presence; they had argued shortly the previous night, following his off the script performance with Amber Reed two months earlier. Gabriella had kept that informat
Chapter Thirty-Nine: Scarlet Witch
“Never mind, Miss Carris.” Kate said with a subtle smile.Gabriella scoffed inwardly, did the old woman just play a fast trick on her?The meeting ended soon and everyone dispersed back to their departments. There were talks in the group but Kate didn’t care. After exchanging handshakes with some top attorneys, she flattered them with their commitment to the firm. Despite knowing they all did dirty deals, she knew they would be caught with time.Kate didn’t bother returning to the CEO’s floor with Jake Darius and Vince. She insisted that the bodyguards led her back to her car so she could return to the mansion. Jake didn’t probe, he knew the older woman had access to him and her grandson anytime. After they returned to the CEO’s floor, Jake felt a sense of unease down his spine. He knew he would be sidelined eventually, after all, he was a paid actor. But when exactly would all the luxury he was enjoying going to be stripped off him? He didn’t know.Gabriella paced the room obviousl
