Claire was shocked by the accusation and hurried into the building before the crowd became more unruly due to the outcry. She had witnessed firsthand how a crowd of crazed sick fans can become mindless and cause more problems. In the lobby, she was met with Salone and her assistant, Juliett Howard.“What’s the status, and why are Leon’s fans at the gate?” Claire asked, heading to the elevator and choosing her destination to the CEO’s office using her entrance card.“It was rumored Leon Jone’s contract is coming due, and he is demanding a renewal,” Salone said, keeping up with her.“What’s the problem? I thought he was a star and making money for the company. See to it that he gets what he wants within reason and has the fans leave with a good repertoire.” Claire announced as she entered her assistant’s office.“Morning, boss.” Gloria Frost said and handed her her coffee and tablet with her schedule.“The trouble lies with what he is demanding,” Salone replied. Stopping Claire in her t
“Mr. Jones, why do I have the honor of you calling me?” The person on the other side asked with a giggle.“I have a job for you. I want you to come to Dynamic Entertainment and capture someone.” Leon stated.“Capture? Now, Mr. Jones, I’m a businessman, not into kidnapping. That life has been long gone. Too many problems if you get my meaning.” The man stated.“What will it take?” Leon asked, getting frustrated.“Depends on the target; who do you want to invite?”“Mrs. Claire Elon, the CEO, and if you can, Salone Weston, the COO of the company,” Leon explained. If he was going this far, he might as well go all the way.There was a long whistle on the other end when the voice became severe. “ One hundred million for the two women.” Was the reply.“Ah, a hundred million? Are you out of your mind? Way too much, twenty million.” Leon stated.“No can do, Mr. Jones, the last name alone can’t be compared to the troubles I will get into if found out, not to mention the security around those tw
The two women became worried about this person’s words. Claire only frowned, it would be easy for her to rescue themselves, but she wanted to see who was the mastermind and what they wanted from her. ‘Was it to threaten Blake? It was only this morning Sara was abducted, and now she. Were they so easily used? We need to get stronger and not burden my husband.’Blake arrived at the entrance of Dynamic Entertainment and spoke to the guards. They told him the limousine had already departed when a man Blake recognized in a chauffeur’s uniform came staggering out of a corner, to the guards’ surprise.“Charlie! Are you alright?” Blake was the first beside him and used his Devine Qi to quickly check his minor injury to the back of his neck.“Mr. Elon, Young Missus. was taken away. I was knocked out, and they took my hat and keys. Please, you have to save Young Missus.” Charlie pleaded. Claire was the only one he liked for her kindness, and she would talk to him to pass the time while he drove
“Mrs. Elon, please instruct us in what you will have done to the Jones family?” The man in the black suit asked.“Nothing, for now, I can handle the Father and Son. You will report to Peach Blossom Estates at this address. The guards at the gate will guide you first thing Monday morning.” Claire said and handed them a card with the address.“Joseph and Leon, who were the two that captured us? They don’t seem to be part of your bodyguards?” Claire asked.“No, they are part of the underworld, Mr. Matias Rodrigues. It cost a hundred million to capture the two of you. He’s a bloodsucker for money and has no scruples. He would sell his own family for the right price.” Larence said, saddened that he had spent so much money to have his planes ruined.“What about The Syrum Syndicate? Does he have anything involvement with them?” Claire asked to clarify. The Syrum Syndicate had to do with Dynasty Syrum, and she didn’t want to put a wedge between them.“No, they are from the border Cartel and
Mr. Rodrigues, on the other line, was startled by the reply and hung his phone up quickly. Cold sweat formed on his brow, knowing he had kicked a steel plate with the identity of that family.“Call for my driver. I’m going to Fairview restaurant.” Mr. Rodrigues stated.Blake and Claire bid farewell to Salone and Gloria as they entered the limousine with the new driver and the two men in the truck.“So, it was a disgruntled employee, a singer, that kidnapped you?” Blake asked, hearing the details from Claire.“Yes, the Jones family is too despicable. I had them go to the police and turn themselves in. I fear the reputation of the company will receive a severe blow. I can’t believe they spent a hundred million on capturing us.” Claire stated as she lay on Blake’s chest as they rode to the restaurant.“We’ll have to get the divorce finalized after tomorrow. Also, we will need to go to the venue where the fashion show is being held so you can practice your modeling walk later this evening
Blake and Claire left the restaurant and entered the limousine. Blake gave directions to the venue where the celebration was to happen and the fashion show was to be performed.“I believe Chive will be happy with our gift,” Claire said, laying on Blake.“Expanding the underground will benefit him and Sharon now that they are a couple,” Blake said, smoothing her hair to comfort her.“Dear, are you disappointed in not getting our divorce finalized?” Claire asked sudennly.“No, I don’t want it to happen at all, but with the contract, it has become inevitable,” Blake said, lowering to kiss her.“Yes, and Sara has gone through a lot lately. I want her to have the wedding she always wanted and give birth to the family’s heir.” Claire said after they parted from their kiss. “She is a sister, after all.”They arrived at the venue that Chive had told Blake. It was a significant one-story building with large glass entrances. The Conex building was the place’s name and could accommodate thousand
Dynasty rose from her chair, spread out her arms, hugged Blake, and sat back down, continuing to prepare for the fashion rehearsal.“I’ll see you outside then,” Blake said, leaving the room but not before seeing Claire give him a wink that made him blush. He was too blessed to have Claire as his wife.Blake exited the private room only to hear other models complaining in the background.“Why did they have to have a private room? Are we not good enough?” One of the fashion models with red hair asked another.“I know. I have been in the fashion business for five years and have never seen so many nubies get such treatment.” The other black-haired woman stated.“Hey, I heard that the international model, Miss. Estin will also be modeling for Stone Fashions. I can’t wait to meet her.” One of the blond models said with a fan-girl sigh.“Really? I wonder how she will take it if she is not treated well. I heard she has a firey temper as well.” The red-haired model stated.“Look, there she is.
Blake motioned for Sharon to follow the four women and guided them to a private area. He stopped and turned in the women’s direction, with Sharon looking at Blake with relevance. She still had a crush on Blake. Even if She and Chive were getting closer, they were still not dating or committed to one another. But Blake was trying to get the two together, so being with Sharon would be impossible in his mind.“Now, how should we rectify this minor dispute? I want a satisfactory answer before the CEO of your agency calls me back. You have three minutes before she calls, maybe less if she is anxious.” Blake said sternly. “I would not like to destroy a career for such a petty situation.”When the women heard what Blake had said, they began to fidget. It was all because they were the most sought-after in the modeling industry, were constantly showered with compliments, and all their demands met. Even the large companies for makeup and fashion had to follow their demands to the tee, or they w
