BILLIONAIRE'S LEGAL AFFAIR Crawling Back.
Bruno knew his mother was upset, he had to do something to make her calm down.As he went out of his office, he reached out to his mother's office. He pushed it open, and bowed, walking towards her."Mother, how about we go out and eat? Let's focus more on the success of the project, because once I am able to get them to pull this through, then we are guaranteed about the success of the project."Margaret glanced at him, knowing fully when that he was only trying to calm her down."I'm busy, just get a drink from the wine cabinet," she said, waving her hand off.He chuckled, and walked to the cabinet, picking up a wine with less alcoholic percentage.He took the glasses and set them on the table, opening the lid of the bottle.Carefully, he poured the wine into the two glasses and then set it down."Cheers to a successful project," he said, raising his glass for a toast.His mother glanced at him for a couple of seconds, before raising her glass for a toast.The two glasses clicked, m

Margaret sat in the back of her black SUV, scrolling through her phone. She was engrossed in a series of photos from last year's women’s conference, and she wondered what she would wear for this year's women's conference.“Maybe a luxurious yellow dress,” she thought, mentally picturing how it would look on her and how everyone would praise her for her outfit.She glanced up and saw a black Roll-Royce, one car she admired but was only available in limited slots. Her heart skipped a beat, as she kept staring at it, her mind daydreaming out of reality.Suddenly, the car jolted forward, and Margaret was thrown back against the back seat. The driver cursed under his breath, as he turned to her.“Sorry, ma’am! Just a little bump!” he said, looking away immediately.“What do you mean a bump?” Margaret snapped, widening her eyes. “What did you hit?”As the driver reversed a bit, Margaret tilted her head to the side to see the side of the car she was admiring now dented. Even her car had a sc
Huling Na-update : 2024-12-31BILLIONAIRE'S LEGAL AFFAIR Employees' Party.
It was finally the day for the employees' party. Alison had arranged everything perfectly well, so much that no one suspected anything.The employees were even happy seeing that the CEO decided to give them a break from work and allow them to relax.Alison stood at the entrance of the hall, her expression mixed with anxiety and anticipation. Everything seemed normal, and for some reason, she started to doubt herself, wondering if what she was doing was right or going to even work. Anyway, the party was just beginning. She just had to observe everyone around and not lose focus.Although she could not interrogate the employees, she had checked their resumes and there was just a particular person her instinct was gnawing at.Melissa.She was a junior staff in the production department.“Can I get you a drink, Ms. Harper?” Clara asked, interrupting her thoughts.Alison did not want to get distracted by anything or anyone. Her eyes were still fixed on the employees gathered together.She

Alison knew that the restroom was not a safe place for them to have this conversation. She held Melissa by the hand and went to the balcony. “Melissa,” Alison said, lowering her voice as they moved to a quieter area on the balcony, “we need to talk now. Who is Marcus? And why are they paying your mother’s hospital bills?”Melissa’s eyes darted around, her body shaking. “I told you, I don’t know who they are. I just… I can’t risk losing my job here or putting my mom in danger.”Alison understood that she was just afraid, so she did not mind taking it calmly with her. “You are putting yourself in danger, Melissa. If you are involved with people who are doing illegal things, this is only going to end badly. You need to be honest with me. Do you trust me?""You are a lawyer. What if you report me to the CEO and have me arrested?" She mouthed."If I wanted to report you to the CEO, I would have recorded your call. I am really here to help you, but I need you to help me too."Melissa could

Melissa took out her phone from the bag and opened it. She swiped to the call log, but the number was not there. It was not visible on her end, which was surprising to her.Alison smiled, "he used a burner phone and installed a disposable or temporary number. He hid the number from your logs. We can't track him that way, except on the day when he calls you." Alison explained.Melissa was beginning to understand the intensity of what she was getting her hands into, and she wished she was lucky to get out of it."What do we do?" She asked Alison, who was already thinking of a way.The door opened, and a nurse walked in disrupting her thoughts."Hello," she greeted, bowing slightly.She was holding a tray and a syringe inside with a little bottle that had a tag, which Alison could not read because she was standing afar.The nurse held the syringe out and injected it into the drip bag.“Excuse me,” Alison called out, stepping forward. The nurse glanced at her, a look of annoyance flashin

“Hello, it’s me, Marcus. You wanted to know about Rodrigo Internationals, right?”“Yes, that’s right. Is it in chaos like I hoped?” the tall man asked, leaning on the swivel chair with his leg crossed over the other.He had a glass in his hand, as he took a sip of the alcohol, anticipating the news.There was a pause, and Marcus responded. “Actually, no. They are holding a party tonight. Everything seems fine on their end. It is not what you expected. I don't think it worked out.”“Damn it!” he cursed, slamming the glass against the wall, as they broke into many pieces. “This can’t be happening. I need this to work. He won't be able to focus on the trial if he is distracted by the internal chaos. What the hell went wrong? Didn't you promise to handle this?"“I’m sorry, boss. But there is nothing I can do for now. I need to lay low and wait for more updates. You need to find another angle, too, just in case this one doesn't work out. The trial is in a few days.”The man exhaled sharply

Alison panicked, seeing how the car swayed left and right with no particular direction. She was a bit relieved because no car was on the road as, at that time, his car was moving carelessly.Alison’s heart raced as she hailed a cab, turning to the passenger's seat. “Please, I need to get to my friend’s car!” she pointed to Travis' car swerving dangerously.“Hang on!” the cab driver shouted as he hit the gas pedal. “What happened?”“His car is malfunctioning!” Alison replied. “I think someone tampered with it. We have to get to him before it is too late!”The driver nodded. “I will do my best. Just hold on!”The man stepped on the accelerator and sped towards Travis' car.“Please, go faster!” she pleaded, gripping the seat as they drove. “I’m trying!” he said, gripping the steering wheel tightly.“Travis!” she shouted, “Stop the car!” But he could not hear her at all.She had only noticed the flat tire, but she did not know his car brakes had been tampered with, as well.The more he

Alison stood by Travis’s hospital bed in silence. She was glad that she was able to save him in time. Now, she realized even more how intense the trial was and how whoever it was wanted him dead.She turned to Travis, whose eyes were now close. He was exhausted from the incident that almost took his life. Of course, he needed to rest.She opened her phone and called Oscar. As soon as he picked up, she immediately went straight to the point."Hi, Oscar. Mr. Rodrigo needs your attention immediately. Come to Medic Hospital, ward number 34." Immediately the call hung up, she turned to Travis.“I’ve called Oscar,” Alison said. “He will be here soon.”Travis’s eyes flicked to her, his gaze resting on her.“Thank you,” he murmured, his voice dry and hoarse."Sit up," she said to him, passing him a bottle of water.“Mr. Rodrigo!” Oscar exclaimed, striding to the bed. “Jeeze, are you okay? What happened?”Travis shook his head slightly. “I don’t remember much,” he admitted, not wanting to th

BILLIONAIRE'S LEGAL AFFAIR Taking The Advice.
Travis tried to trail Raquel, but she was nowhere to be found, apparently she had already gone too far.“Fuck!!” He groaned in annoyance, punching his steering and screaming his lungs out. “I've lost everything!”Before he could stop himself, tears began slipping down his eyes. He got to the side of the road and parked.“Why did I let it get to this point?” He asked himself, ruffling his hair in frustration and crying out. “Now she has gotten what she wanted and is nowhere to be found.”He tried to calm himself down but it just was not working out.‘why not just head home, hopefully you would meet her and explain everything.’ His subconscious mind suggested and Travis shook his head.“I fucked up already, what explanation is going to make sense to her?” He muttered, his eyes already red from crying and his fists bruised.Eventually, he decided to drive home, not knowing exactly what to expect, but hoping for the best nevertheless.The drive was rough, with Travis growing more emotiona
BILLIONAIRE'S LEGAL AFFAIR Alison Leaves.
“What the hell is going on here?” Alison yelled in shock, and Raquel got off Travis thighs, deciding to play the victim.“Sweetheart, what is she still doing here? I thought you said you were no longer with her?” Raquel asked Travis, pointing at Alison and crying. “I should never have trusted you again in the first place.”“Alison, I swear I can explain.” Travis whispered getting off the couch and swiftly going over to hold Alison.“Don't touch me!” She snapped, slapping his hands off her. “I should have known that this is what you were up to when you suddenly woke up and created the idea that you were going to work from home.”“Cupcake, it's not what you think.” He said going on his knees. “I promise you, I was actually working from home.”“It can even be what I think, but what I saw Travis… this bitch was straddling you and you didn't even push her off, what is she even doing here? And what does she mean by you said we'd broken up?” Alison asked, feeling her feet grow cold then she
BILLIONAIRE'S LEGAL AFFAIR Caught.
The notion that ‘time flies’ had never made more sense to Alison. Just like yesterday, she was fighting to get her son back, then she lost him, and now three months had passed already. She had finally embraced the fact that her Theo was gone and she was never going to see him again. Deep down, she was grateful to Travis, who had always been her knight in shining armor, walking her through every single stage of grief. She finally opened her heart to Karen, Megan and Carlos, letting them comfort her. Although Alison never believed the saying that ‘time heals’ she'd a testament to that. “You're awake?” Travis muttered with a small smile as Alison tried to sit upright. “How was your night?” “It was good, I mean… I slept well,” she replied and smiled back at him. Her gaze caught the time on her clock and she gasped. “It's 8am, already? I have to get to the office.” She said and swiftly got out of bed. “Wait, you're resuming, already? You sure you are ready?” Travis asked, with
BILLIONAIRE'S LEGAL AFFAIR Poor Alcohol Tolerance.
“I can't keep watching her do that to herself.” Travis murmured, as he sipped from his drink at the bar. “It's been more than two weeks already, and she is still refusing to talk to or see anybody.”Oscar sighed and then patted Travis’s back softly. “You've got this boss. Although Miss Alison needs som time alone, you should be by her side, comfort her and and reassure her that you're always going to be by her side and she hasn't lost her only reason to live.”“I had no idea you were really good with advice.” Travis chuckled lightly, and took a sip of his drink. “She's extremely vulnerable at this moment, and I am too…it's difficult consoling her, when she keeps blaming herself for everything that has happened.”“The more reason you have to be there for her, help her get rid of the emotional trauma.” He said, his expression unreadable. “It's better that way, so she doesn't feel like she's alone.”“I'll try to do that, and I hope she'd finally agree to go out. I can't watch her in that
BILLIONAIRE'S LEGAL AFFAIR Alison Mourns Theo.
Tears, pains, guilt, regrets and sorrows suddenly redefined Alison. It has already been a week since Theo's death, but to her it was no more that yesterday.Words of encouragement came in through one ear and went out through the other, leaving her drowning in despair and a walking shadow of her former self.“Where did I go wrong?” She asked no one in particular, as she sat alone in the room Theo spent his last week in. “Why do forces seem to be standing against my happiness? One moment, I'm at the verge of achieving my dreams, and the next minute, it's like everything has been turned upside down.”Travis who had been watching her from the door which was slightly ajar, shook his head in pity.“For how long will you keep doing this to yourself?” He finally asked. Alison didn't flinch despite how sudden his voice came, neither did she react, she just remained motionless, holding tightly onto Theo's bloodstained clothes, as if they were going to disappear if she let them go.She had ins

After running over Theo, the person behind the wheels smirked triumphantly and drove off without bothering to wait.When he had gotten to a reasonable distance away from them, he pulled the mask over his face revealing Spider.“Too bad, the little boy had to pay for the sins of his parents.” He repeated Raquel's words from the last time and then dialed her number.She answered on the first ring.“Hey spider, what's good? Did you succeed?” She asked, panic obvious in her voice.“You don't trust me?” He asked proudly. “To think that they made things easier for me, I didn't have to trail or…”“You're saying the kid is dead already, right?” Raquel cut him off impatiently. “Not yet, but with the level of harm I caused, I doubt he will survive it.” He reported.“Are you already on your way back here?” Raquel asked, and he could hear a hint of disdain in her voice.“Why asking?” He asked back.“Don't come back to the Cartel yet. Those people are smart enough, they would have you trailed and

**ONE WEEK LATER**“Travis, do you think I am a bad mother?” Alison asked, one morning before breakfast. She was seated before her mirror, staring at her expression, while Travis sat on the bed behind her, working on his laptop.“Where is this coming from?” He asked, clearly shocked by her question. “This is not about Theo, is it?”“It's him, and I just can't help it.” She muttered, then a tear slid down her eyes. “He does not seem happy, I have tried my best.”“He will come around very soon, it's not so easy moving away, and then blending in with new people just immediately, try to understand him.” Travis explained, keeping his laptop aside.“It's been a whole week already, Travis! I spent years praying for the day when he would finally be by my side, and call me mom without interruption. I longed to hold him in my arms and play with him…” she chocked on her tears, swallowing the bile that rose to her throat. “And now that I finally got the chance to do so, he isn't even happy.”“Hav
BILLIONAIRE'S LEGAL AFFAIR Reuniting With Theo.
Alison couldn't utter any words, not like she was overjoyed, or overwhelmed, she just didn't have the ability to react, especially not at that moment, What would she even say?She remained mute as she watched Bruno and his mum get led by the cops to a van, the one that was eventually going to drive them to jail.As they walked out, being led out like criminals, Alison couldn't stop staring, as a sudden feeling of guilt overwhelmed her.Was that all? The whole vengeance she spent so much time fighting for, was that everything or more was still ahead? It did not taste as sweet as she imagined it would, rather, it was bitter—You know the taste of bitterness that just keeps enveloping your taste buds, the more you keep sipping the more you yearn for more. That was exactly how she felt.She just stood there, no longer conscious of her environment or her achievements, all she could do was stare into space.“Hey, pretty lady! I told you, didn't I? I said you were going to make us proud, and

**TWO MONTHS LATER**It's been over three months after the break out of the scandal, which is already slowly dying down. The press conference helped to keep the shareholders abreast about everything that was going on, and stop them from withdrawing, while curtailing the wagging tongues of the public and giving Travis a break from all the stigma.It's finally the day for the final trial and judgement for the case Alison pressed charges for against Mrs. Francisco and Bruno Francisco.For the custody of Master Theo Francisco.
