They found Ruth waiting for them as usual, but Nina knew that she wasn’t going to like the bad news that they came back with. So they slowly came out of the car and quietly went to sit in the living room with the saddest faces ever.Ruth just knew it, by now she could tell what had happened , there was nothing more important than money that can cause her husband and daughter to become that sad ,so she asked” what happened? Did you lose the company again?“Yes, Emily took the company” Matt replied and then he stood up and walked to his study. He locked himself in the room then proceeded to search for his alcohol. It was the only consolation that he has now or he would go crazy thinking about what would become of their lives.Back at the living room he could hear his wife screaming but he could care less, he was done worrying about his family and this was as far as he could go.After they left everything was now calm and Emily sighed with a relief. He dispersed the meeting and then tha
“I am sorry, but I am not following you at all. May I ask who you are? And why do you know my name? Most importantly who the hell are you hiding from?”“Well I guess that I have to start explaining myself, I am Martha Davis friend and maid. I worked for her for so many years and I think I didn’t get a chance to meet with you because I remember Matt forbade you from coming in to her house.” The lady explained herself politely.Emily heaved a sigh of relief, she must be the maid that Grandmother Martha talked about before her death, but what she was wondering was what she wanted to tell her.“Of course I knew that she had a maid and I never got the chance to meet her. Tell me now, what brings you to my office?” Emily didn’t waste time but to ask the question she wanted so much to ask.The woman hesitated for a while before talking” have very bad news I want to tell you, I can’t keep quiet anymore. As you can see, I am old and who knows when the lord might call me to be with him.”Emily
Matt looked up abruptly and understood now. This was the reason why his mother begged him to show Emily some love, she told him that he will regret ever mistreating her.Matt cupped his head with shame while several thoughts going on in his mind” He should have listened to her but as always he was stubborn and unbearable.”If he would have taken her advice seriously, then may be Emily would have let him keep being the owner of the company which apparently belonged to his sister.Why the hell did his mother tell him such a huge secret? Mother you made me soil my hands with your blood. How could I have known that she was my own blood and flesh, I only knew that she was a fatherless child whom I did a favour to adopt?“Well there is nobody else in the house. So let us leave” the police said as they guided them to the waiting cars. Ruth was crying, she couldn’t even talk and Emily didn’t even spare her a glance. She despised her and she already guessed that she was the master mind of all
Richard cleared his voice and stated with authority” My wife is now the rightful owner of this Company and those who do not believe the fact should go and check at the registry offices.“As for her uncle’s crimes, she shouldn’t be questioned about that. You can as well follow him to the prison and ask them that. I think Matt Davis is the best person to answer that.”Emily watched in amazement as Richard answered all the questions with no much effort at all. It would have been a very difficult time for her was he not around.“Yes she had known for a while that Martha was her maternal grandmother and it hasn’t been easy for her. She had lived her whole life as an orphan.” Richard continued to answer the reporter’s hungry questions“About the company, does she have the skills to run it?” Another reporter asked all over a sudden.Yes” Richard muttered and looked at his wife with affection then he added” look out for big news coming soon. You will then get to know that she has very outstan
“Hello mommy I missed you, did you behave well? You know you are the biggest spoiled brat I know around. But please I am no longer I that bracket, I left it entirely for you. So keep on carrying the medal.”She laughed” you are so funny, son”“Toby, my son” his father too hugged him and patted him on the back.” What is new here? I want to know everything.”He guessed that he meant he wanted to know everything about his company which was going under the bridge .Ooh…daddy you have no idea what a mess you caused back then before disappearing “ he thought to himself.“Dad let us talk about that at home. I don’t feel comfortable talking about it here in the public” Toby said with courteous voice, he didn’t want his father to hear the bad news , not yet ,he needed to go home first.“Alright” his father said but deep inside he knew that there was something wrong. He was sure that he made the right decision by handing his whole life to that boy or was he wrong”When they reached home, his fa
Ken produced a sarcastically laugh, he never acres about anybody and this Emily is the least of his concerns.“You know I really don’t care about this Emily woman, but what interests me is that she is friends with Toby and I am definitely sure that she is a very careful lady. I think she has been consulting Toby and he has talked bad about me so I want to destroy the fool through Emily.”His plan was to sabotage her company with the help of his mafia friends, and then he will claim that Toby is the one who conspired to ruin her business.He will go as far as forging fake evidence against him. Ken was sure that Toby was planning something against him and he wasn’t going to wait for him to catch him off guard.Yes by the time we are done we will have killed two birds at the same time. You will have your revenge against Emily and I will have destroyed the stupid Toby. Cheers, we make a great team” Ken held his glass up and smiled evilly.Toby felt that the matter was so critical, so he
“According to his father, he still has the original ownership papers, so he only wants him to sign transfer paper without his knowledge. I promised that I will help him but the more I think about it the more I get scared. What if he colludes with the likes of Nina to harm me?”Emily was devastated by thinking about Nina, she knew that she will attack her no matter what.Don’t worry Emily, I will help you. Everything will just be okay” he consoled her. Emily thought that he would scold her but Richard was getting more understanding each and every passing day.“Thank you” she said and hugged him.It has been weeks now and Ken reached out to Emily again. They managed to set up an appointment day and she was really nervous as the clock ticked on the wall. She didn’t know what to expect from the guy.The agreement was for Toby not to show his face in order not to raise any eye brows but he would stay near incase there was trouble.A sudden knock on her door brought her back to reality as h
“What do you mean Emily” Ken asked.She means that you just signed the transfer of ownership back to me, silly. You should have read the whole document. I can’t believe how stupid you are and you claim that you are a business man” Toby snarled.Ken hesitated as he felt his blood boil, the fools tricked him. They were never going to get away with this, he was going to kill all of them one by one. He slowly removed a firearm from his pocket and pointed it on Emily’s head” you should have thought well before messing with me.”Nina cheered happily she urged” what are you waiting for, blow her head so that she can go to hell, that is exactly where she belongs”Suddenly there was a bang on the door and Richard was standing there personally” he didn’t seem to fear anybody. All he did is say” Ken if you know what is good for you, stop pointing that gun on my wife or you will be dead.”Richard didn’t need to do anything because before Ken lifted his head one of the body guards had already pinn
