Chapter 52: The Deal
Jalen sat behind his wide mahogany desk at Adesins Corporation, a confident smile playing on his lips. The morning sun filtered through the wide windows, casting sharp shadows on the expensive tiles. Across from him sat Ken, the CEO of Ken Holdings, flipping through a set of neatly arranged documents. The air in the room was thick with anticipation, the weight of a deal that had been carefully engineered over time."Today is the day," Jalen said, his voice firm but calm.Ken looked up and nodded. "Yes, but we have a problem."Jalen's smile thinned. "What kind of problem?"Ken set the documents aside. "Another company is offering to buy Black Blossom too. And they’re offering twice the price we placed."Jalen raised a brow, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the desk. "Twice?""Yes. We offered four hundred million dollars. They’re offering eight hundred."Jalen sat back slowly. For a second, silence filled the room. "Which company?"Ken sighed. "Fernando’s Group."Jalen blinked. The
Chapter 51: Between Blood and Business
The house was silent when Tiana and Nina stepped into it, but the peace didn't last for long. As soon as the door closed behind them, Tiana turned sharply, her face tight with rage."Nina, what exactly were you thinking?! Carlos? Of all people!" Tiana's voice was raised, each word laced with disbelief and anger.Nina, still clutching her purse, lifted her chin defiantly, even though her voice trembled. "I know you're upset, big sis, but I'm an adult. I have the right to make my own decisions.""Adult?" Tiana scoffed. "Is that what you call this? Sneaking around with a man like Carlos? My ex, Nina! My ex who now happens to be my husband's son!"Nina looked away, her silence speaking more than any defence could. She had not known everything. But even now that she did, her feelings were real, and she wasn't ready to throw them away just like that.Their voices grew louder. Emotions, already stretched, flared like dry leaves under fire. Neither of them noticed the door creak open until E
Chapter 50: A Sister's Fury
"Hi big sis," Nina said, her smile stretching from her eyes to the corners of her mouth, oblivious to the fire that was about to erupt. She turned, still holding Carlos by the arm. "Meet my boyfriend, Carlos Arturo."The room fell silent.Carlos and Tiana locked eyes.No greeting. No handshake. No smile. Just a long, piercing silence thick with history, betrayal, and burning questions. The silence said everything that needed to be said. Tiana's mouth slowly parted, then clenched. Carlos straightened, meeting her eyes without flinching. Arturo, seated beside Tiana, glanced between them, his brows folding in confusion."What is going on here?" Arturo asked, looking from his son to his wife. "Carlos, who's she and what are you doing here?"Nina turned to Carlos, her smile now faded. She glanced at her sister, then back at the man she had fallen for over the last month, disbelief beginning to cloud her expression."You haven’t answered my question, Nina," Tiana said, her voice sharp an
Chapter 49: Tangled Flames
Tiana was seated in the far corner of a luxurious bar, beside her 'wonderful' husband — Arturo. Wonderful, if only words could sigh. The atmosphere in the bar buzzed with low murmurs and dim lighting, a soft piano playing in the background. Yet, despite the elegant ambiance, Tiana's face remained devoid of expression. Her wine glass sat untouched before her, the rim merely kissed by her lip once or twice.This was Arturo's idea. He had pleaded with her earlier in the day, insisting they needed time away from the suffocating tension of their home. "Let's have dinner, Tiana," he had said, "Somewhere quiet, somewhere new. Just us. Let's talk, like a real couple."And now here they were, two supposed lovers sitting like strangers.People in the bar noticed them. A few glances darted. Some whispers began to surface from a nearby table."Is that not the same lady from Black Blossom?""Are you sure she's married to that man?""I heard they tied the knot secretly. No fanfare. Strange thing
Chapter 48: Unexpected Enemy
The morning was dull, wrapped in a heavy silence that mirrored the storm brewing within.Jalen’s table was scattered with documents — files, printed screenshots, statements, and a USB drive labelled "Andrew Brooks Case."It was two weeks before the court hearing, and every piece of evidence mattered.He turned back to the room and dropped a thick file on the desk with a heavy thud that echoed in the quiet space.Barrister Greg Mends, his long-time legal counsel and friend, stood nearby, arms crossed and worry lining his forehead. His suit jacket hung over the arm of a nearby chair, sleeves rolled slightly, revealing a tired but committed man.Greg had been watching Jalen's transformation with growing concern, seeing his friend disappear into an obsession that bordered on dangerous."Jalen," he said, his voice calm but pressing, "can I ask you something without offending you?"Jalen didn't look up from the papers he was shuffling. "You already did. So go ahead."Greg hesitated, choosin
Chapter 47: The Buyer for Black Blossom
Tiana was seated in the living room when her phone buzzed on the glass stool beside her. She glanced at the screen.The name that flashed there made her heart skip.Barr. Anderson Gomez.For a few seconds, she hesitated. She wasn't sure she was ready to hear whatever this call had to offer. The past weeks had been a blur of difficult decisions and sleepless nights.Every conversation with her lawyer seemed to bring another layer of complexity to her already tangled life. But she couldn't ignore it either. She reached for the phone and pressed the green button."Hello, Barrister Gomez."His voice came on, warm but laced with urgency. "Good afternoon, Mrs. Arturo. I hope I'm not disturbing anything serious.""Not at all," she replied quietly, straightening up.She could hear the slight tremor in her own voice and hoped he didn't notice."I wanted to inform you that there's been an offer for the company," he said without wasting time. "Actually, a rather substantial one."There was a sil
