Locked in the Devil's Deal Getting Close!
Darren scoffed, he felt that Emery was sometimes weird, “You called me hoping I wouldn't give you the money?” He questioned.Emery stuttered, that wasn't what she meant. It was a shock that he was going to lend her the money without having to bombarded her with questions.Darren stared at the phone screen, the call was still connected. Darren smiled, he knew he had rendered her speechless, “Send your details,” he broke the silence.“Can you make it one million?” Emery's greed kicked in taking over the conversation.Darren held in his laughter, When did she become so poor? He wondered. This was because one million was too little. He could spend such a sum on little things. “Send your account details!” He repeated,Darren had no idea if she was still using the same account he knew her with. A lot has happened these few years and she has gone through a lot.Emery let out a hearty laughter and disconnected the call. She immediately sent her bank details to him.She placed her phone on to

Emery knew she had done the right thing.She was really apprehensive earlier, knowing full well that going to authorities might get them not to take her seriously or worse that her stepmother and half-brother would wriggle their way out of trouble. But Alex had the experience and knowledge to know that they could build a good case against them.Time flew, the clouds became dark. But the bustling city in front of her made her oblivious to the change around her.Emery stood in the dark, lost to her thoughts, allowing her mind to wander back and forth.First, the shocking death of her mother had exposed her to the cruelty of life and then, her father's sudden death.Margaret and Nick treated her like crap, pouncing on the family's business and assets. She had no idea of this at all. Margaret was far more sly and scheming than she thought.Emery considered the feeling of betrayal. She placed her hands on the railings , looking into the sky.Emery had too many things she wanted to say but

Jayden smiled, “You know where my office is?” He questioned. Emery but her lips, her face etched with embarrassment.Hearing the silence at the other end, Jayden laughed, “Uncle understands your worries, I would send you my address.”“Thanks Uncle,” Emery smiled genuinely. Hanging up the call, her phone beeped, Jayden had sent her the address of his office.Emery stared at the huge building in front of her marveling at the sight. It took her almost two hours to get here. This place was located in the outskirts of town. Emery stared at her phone to confirm the address, “You are at the right place,” she muttered to herself.Emery alighted the car heading into the huge building. “I am here to see Mr Jayden,” she politely said to the receptionist, the young woman raising her face as her lips curved into a smile. “You just be Miss Emery Hart, Mr Jayden has been waiting for you, this way please.” The receptionist said leading the way.Emery followed behind her, her eyes darting through the

Emery held her breath, this was bad news to her. “You can't just claim the property even if you are his child. There is no ignorance or excuses of the Law. Even if he drowns the company into the ocean of bankruptcy it has nothing to do with you.” He continued.Emery listened attentively, she knew he wasn't saying all this to hurt her feelings, he was being honest and truthful. “Even if you have records or documents with proof of sabotage, this doesn't give him the Command or control over the company. At most you would be selling yourself to the government.”Emery clutched her dress tightly, she didn't know what to say. This was indeed the bitter truth, “You can claim all your father's assets if there happens to be a conditional clause in your father's will or a forgery in the will or his signature. Or if you can provide a video to clarify your ambiguous testaments.”Emery gave an understanding nod, “Knowing your father for so long, he must have kept something specially for you. You ju

Amelia laughed, “I'm Amelia Grant darling, your business is my business. I'm sure you didn't tell me anything because you prefer sulking all alone like a child,” she teased. Emery rolled her eyes, “It's good to have you back, I won't be lonely, we could go cry together.”“Hell No, I won't do that shit with you. We would go kick that bitch ass, and strip Nick naked. He's nothing but a jerk!” She cursed beneath her breath. "I had no idea it was that bad. How dare they treat you so badly? I feel like pulling Margaret's hair and beating the hell out of her.” Emery let out a hearty laughter, she imagined the scene in her mind–it was hilarious.“We have a lot to talk about, meet me at our usual spot,” Amelia hurriedly said and hung up the call.Emery felt so grateful for this great turn-up. It seemed everything was just falling in pleasant places for her: first, she could get a good professional like Alex, then it was Jayden, now her best friend was back in the country. Emery glanced at

Emery nodded, her eyes fixed at Jayden. "I promise, Cynthia. We'll be careful. And we'll make sure that justice is served."As Emery hung up the phone, a hope felt for a long, long time now swept over her. She couldn't believe how much loyalty her father earned from his employees. It brought great joy in her heart and left her a lasting smile."There are still good people out there who can't be bought with money, we will see the end of this!" Jayden said, patting her on her shoulder. "Right, with all these, we could bring down my stepmother and half brother once and for all; they sure have to pay for this evil."Emery turned to Jayden, her heart suddenly sinking. Jayden knew the look in her face and furrowed his brow. "What is it?" He asked.Emery hesitated before speaking. "It's just that I'm concerned for Cynthia. Even though she knew the risk, she was still willingEmery gets teary-eyed, and can't help her emotions. It was just the feeling that even after her dad died, people wer

Emery nodded in a haste, awaiting further information from him.Mark smiled, “Well, I've been hearing rumors about the company,” He said, raising his hands as a means to get the waiter's attention, "Rumors that your stepmother and half-brother are mismanaging the company's finances."Emery's eyes locked onto his and she saw a spark of anger there. Emery weighed her words, “We can't actually say until we find that out,” she said, sounding helpless. His face darkened. "I had a feeling that something was off," he said. "I've been trying to get some answers, but your stepmother and half-brother have been stonewalling me.” Mr Mark was a powerful ally, and if he was ready to help her, then maybe they really could win. "More Help!" She whispered to herself in excitement.“Ms. Hart, I am a businessman. All I cheat about is making profit, I hate shady people and businesses. So you have to be plain when dealing with me, I'm no fool,” He smiled.Everyone on the table understood Mark's message.

Jayden’s expression became serious. "What did the message say?"Emery read him the message, and Jayden listened intently."We need to take this seriously," Jayden said.

The howling sound of the engine graced her heart with joy, “Woo-hoo..” I love this! Emery drove slowly around the block, getting a feeling she hasn't had for so long. Just after a few minutes, she pulled back into the driveway and then turned off the engine. “I can see you are really enjoying yourself,” Darren stated as soon as she got out of the car. He could tell from the big smile on her face that she was having fun."It was amazing!" she exclaimed, turning to Darren.

She's aware that she will certainly get into trouble with the law.Her mind continued racing with all the possible scenarios, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She stared at Darren again, his confidence was quite unbreakable and she found herself feeling more and more convinced that everything would be okay.

Locked in the Devil's Deal My Marriage?
"Myself and Sophia here were just discussing your marriage."Nick's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "My marriage?" he repeated. It was the least he was expecting to hear. It was more of a shock to him. He let out a chuckle “Like seriously? Are you both out of discussions to have or something? This is unbelievable!” He turned towards Sophia, who was still smiling. "Okay then, tell me, what about my marriage?"Sophia nodded. "You heard that right. Let's tell you what's about your marriage now. Nick, don't you think you are forgetting about your personal life?

“I just can't believe this,” she sighed, leaning back towards the cushion. She had spent the last hour tidying up her room, making sure everything was in order before she left and can't even predict when she'll return. All she could do was to sit back and wait for Darren's men to arrive.Just then, she heard the sound of a car pulling over outside which was the first sign she got and predicted that they had arrived. Emery's heart skipped a beat as she heard the car engine go off. It was followed by the sound of car doors opening and closing. She felt a shiver run down her spine as she wondered what the next few hours would be like to her.A soft knock was placed at the door and she could tell it was the guards. She peeped through and confirmed it then, and adjusted her clothes with her hands, “This is it, Emery, they are here,” she muttered.She took a deep breath, trying to calm down her nerves, then dragged her suitcases to the door. She opened up the door and met the gazes of Da

Darren was there seated in his office with his back faced towards the entrance. He was staring through the large window, feeding his eyes with sights of the surrounding. At intervals, he sipped on a cup of black coffee and then scanned a few documents he had placed on his thigh. He furrowed his brows at the sight of the contents in the document while he maintained focus.Just while he was about to make a note on one of the papers, his door swung open and Alex walked in."Boss!” He called out to Darren, bowing his head in respect, "I have a briefing for you," Alex said, his voice low and serious. Darren instantly spun his seat towards the desk, he looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly. "What is it?"“Boss as commanded,” He handed a folder to Darren. Darren glanced at the folder, he stretched his hands receiving it, a smile forming across his face. Alex began to brief him, his voice quick and efficient."Emery has been snooping around her father's old office, looking for clues abou

Emery's heart skipped a beat as she turned to Zylar, her eyes locked onto hers. "Do you hear that?" she whispered, her voice barely audible.Zylar nodded, her eyes fixed on Emery's face. "Yes, I heard it," she whispered back. "I think we should get out of here, now."Emery nodded, her mind racing as she peeped. She knew that they had to be careful.

Emery laughed out loud in disbelief. She was taken aback by Zylar's words, “Reall?, this is interesting, you just met me a few minutes ago and you talk as if you've known me for years? “ She scowled.Emery could tell that the lady before her was so reserved. Emery never gets it wrong when reading a person. She could easily detect someone's look on his or her face.Zylar smiled, nodding her head. “What a joke!” Emery mumbled beneath her breath, it seems everyone thinks she is so pitiful. “How are you going to help me?” Zylar leaned forward, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "Rumors are no longer rumors when they are proven to be true. “Emery smirked, “This company is at the verge of bankruptcy isn't it? From the look of things this doesn't sound like a rumor to me.” Zylar said with a smile, “We both need each other. Whereas, I think you're the only one who can help me uncover the truth I need" she continued.“Oh!” Emery exclaimed, “It seems you bumping into me wasn't a

Margaret couldn't say a word, she had to calculate her next action carefully. “This leaves you with 20 percent shares and Emery here has 30 percent shares, this makes her the largest shareholder.” Jayden added.Margaret scoffed, “Nick still remains the Chief Executive Office regardless of her shares, his father handed the company and other assets to him not her.”“Yes Aunt, you are right. My father had always been so confused, we both know how you became his mistress.” Emery chipped in.Margaret clutched her dress tightly beneath the table, her finger digging deep into her skin, she still maintained a smile. “Emery this is business, it's not a family affair. I don't want another to feel I'm being evil, you can have your shares. Walking alongside your brother for the growth of this company would make me happy,”Amelia bit her lips, “Really?” She blurted.“Since either have explained everything to everyone, I would now take my leave,” Jayden said and exited the call.
