2024-10-29 19:42:56As soon as Kelly and I arrived at the Mayor's residence, we were asked to wait outside his office. And while waiting, I couldn't think positively about the situation except negatively.
What if we had published something they didn't like? I wasn't even able to go through today's publication the fact that I was very busy, and now we might just end up being arrested and taken to jail.
Or perhaps he might just ask us to shut down our company, until further notice. You know how all those politicians could be, arrogant as well as extreme. Anything against their taste would be suppressed or eliminated.
Kelly pulled me out of my trance by asking if I was okay, to which I had answered him with "Yes!"
"Oh, I thought you were... you know, busy in your thoughts. I actually called you thrice but couldn't get your attention" he had explained.
"Sorry, I guess I wasn't paying attention. It does happen at times, especially when yo

One of the painfullest things in this world is finding your beloved suspicious. Lena had been acting so strange these days and also making weird calls. Whenever she sees me, she would quickly stop whatever she was doing and act as if nothing was going on. At first I thought she was just sorting out personal matters but now I realized she was planning a lot, something she didn't want me to know. There was a time I overheard her talking about some arrangements and even bargaining on the amount to pay. Since then I began monitoring our joint account, and gradually I learnt through the statement of account that she was transferring money to random people. It was weekly at first but gradually became daily. A day wouldn't pass without her sending money to those people, whoever they might be. We used to give out funds for charity or donation but not like that. I had wanted confronting her about it but decided to watch and see where she was heading to wit
Replacement CEO Chapter 56: Park
The more I found Lena suspicious, the more my feelings for her fade. She refused to say a word about her strange behavior and she also refused to talk to me about it. Yesterday some strange looking guys came looking for her in our apartment. She was in the bathroom but I told them she wasn't around. I then asked the guys what happened and why they were looking for her. I thought they would be sensible enough to reply me but they didn't, they had only glared at me and smirked before leaving. When Lena came out of the bathroom, I narrated what happened to her. She became so furious and quickly took her phone, obviously going to dial their number. I snatched the phone away from her and asked who the guys were again, this time around she decided to talk. But I found her words not convincible. She told me the guys were sent by one of her friends to collect something from her, something I shouldn't worry about. And when I press further, she squeal

It wasn't long since I paid mom visit in Vinewood, but it seemed she had started missing me again. Just this morning after having a prolonged video chat with her, Elizabeth and Mr. Anderson, she asked when I was coming back again. And even after reminding her that it wasn't long that we last met, she had bashed that aside and told me I didn't spend much time with them that was why. And that next time if I come, she would force me to stay for like a month before allowing me to return back to Vincity. I didn't even know when I bursted into laughter as soon as she uttered that. And as confused as she was, she asked what was funny and I told her spending a whole month with them in Vinewood would definitely affect my work. She then rolled her eyes and asked where my work was when she carried me for nine months and took care of me my whole childhood. Her words made me to laugh even more. After talking for like two hours, I ended the video chat and

It took me a lot of efforts to finally convince Lena into going out with me because she had really meant her words when she said she was going to work. Nevertheless, after convincing her we both drove out en route National Park. That was the first place I had in mind. We would go to other places too but National Park had to be the first place, and while driving there Lena asked what exactly we were both going to do there. "I don't really like that place" she had added. "Well, you would like it. Just wait and see how I would make it lively to you, you know how good I am at that" I had said. "At what? At forcing people to like what you love? Oh come on, that place is too local and filled with children. I wonder why you even put it in our list, talk more of making it the first in our list" she had said, making me to choke. "Now you are making me to feel like coughing this steering wheel and laughing my intestines out" I had
Replacement CEO Chapter 59: Drunk
I asked her if she was the one that masterminded what happened to Stella, and guess what? She nodded her head and told me of course she was the one. I actually didn't expect the answer to come easily so I thought she was just saying it but when I asked her again and she told me she was really the one that did it, I was so shocked. I then brought out my phone and recorded her voice as she explained further, telling me how she loved me from the first day she met me and how Stella tried to steal me away from her. She said she couldn't afford to loose me so she ordered some guys to chase and rape Stella so our relationship would end. And that moment, I realized I had made a big mistake falling for her trick. She kept laughing and explaining more about the case to me. She was so drunk that she laughed every now and then. She smelled badly whenever she belch. She kept talking about how she funded the guys that raped Stella and how no

"Yes you were, but all that you said can't be lie. They are so accurate, you know that right?" I had said. "Accurate as in how? Since when does people starts taking drunkards' confession serious?" she had queried. "Since when I became a Judge!" I had said with a gritted teeth, "You had once fooled me, you can't fool me again Lena. All I want to hear from you is the truth, are you the one behind what happened to Stella?" I had asked. "No, and stop accusing me of..." she said as I promptly matched the brake pedal, bringing the car to an abrupt stop. I then turned the engine of the car off and turned, glaring at her in anger. "Are you the one behind what happened to Stella?" I had asked again, this time around laying emphasis on each and every word I uttered. "Hmm, fine then. What if I told you I am the one, would you even believe me? Just look at me, why would I even do such a thing to my friend?" she had said, tryi
Replacement CEO Chapter 61: Sniper
Ever since Lena confessed to me and also got me implicated into one of her crimes, we had been living like strangers. She became a free woman, doing whatever she likes and making calls anyhow with people. One funny thing was that, she restricted me from doing a lot of things. One of which includes nothing reaching out to Stella. She had warned me that if I ever meet Stella or even approach her, she would have her killed. I thought she was joking. I thought she was just trying to scare me. I thought there was no way she could ever find out if I met with Stella until today. After getting herself dressed in one of the gowns I once bought her, she told me she was going to meet Stella at a coffee shop and that I shouldn't even think about following her. However, just as she left I decided to follow her but something told me not to go with my car. Actually, I believed she had somehow bugged the car even though I had on different occasions before r
Replacement CEO Chapter 62: VMRC
Despite Lena's threat, I still wanted to check on Stella. I wanted to know how she was doing. I was so worried, you know? She was shot with a sniper, and even though I was assured she would be fine I still wanted to check on her and see how she was doing. Today being Friday, I was supposed to be at work but instead I chose to stay at home. Lena asked what was going on and I told her I just didn't feel like going to work. She then smiled and told me whatever I was planning, I should know that she had people around watching my every move. "One day you will realize that whatever I am doing right now is for the betterment of the two of us" she had said before leaving the house for work. Just as she left, I decided to call Stella but her phone was off. So I decided to call on Kelly. As soon as he picked the call I told him to come and meet me in my house without letting anybody know about it. "Sir, is everything okay?" he asked, obviously c

Years later... People used to say if you love something, never give up on that thing. Well I didn't believe in that adage until I finally met Nicholas. And now being his wife made me realized how TRUE love can be, and how victorious patience can make one be. Nicholas and I got married a year ago and we had just given birth to twins, a girl and a boy. It was a dream come true and I couldn't even express how happy I was. Nicholas was so happy too, same also his mom, my mom, Mr. Anderson, Elizabeth, officer Mike, and even Kelly who was Nicholas best man during our wedding.

Replacement CEO Chapter 77: Families
Few days after finding out the truth that Mr. Anderson was indeed my biological father, I had not been able to think straightforward about my relationship with Nicholas. Mr. Anderson had also been touched by the sudden discovery, he had not been as vibrant as he used to be. That day he told me the reason why he left my mom and that he was so sorry. He told me he left my mom because their relationship was going as planned. They used to have problems and would debate over almost everything every blessed day. Hence he decided to move on with his life. "I am so sorry, I know what I did was a reason but now I feel like I shouldn't have done that" he had added, sobbing quietly. He then asked for my mother's pictures to which I showed him. He sobbed even more after seeing her picture, hating himself for all that he did and for abandoning us. He said he learned how to stay in a relationship for better or worst after marrying Nicholas's mom.
Replacement CEO Chapter 76: True blood
The following day, just as mom left for work I called Nicholas to come and pick me up. And when he came, I decided to show him the pictures of my dad. They were placed in places he had never stepped his foot on in our house. Actually, I just wanted him to justify whether my dad was the Mr. Anderson fathering his younger sister. Fortunately, when he sees the pictures he was shocked. He told me even though the pictures looked younger than Mr. Anderson, he believed there was resemblance. Thus, he pulled out his phone from his pocket and snapped the pictures saying he would show them to Mr. Anderson as soon as we arrived at their house in Vinewood. Then he helped me pack three of my luggage to his car as quick as we could and left. But before we left, I had left a note for my mom to come and on the center table, telling her I would be going far away from everyone and I wouldn't be back until she agrees to reconsider my relationship with Nicholas
Replacement CEO Chapter 75: Annoyed
Few weeks after the incident that occurred between me and Nicholas, I decided to start talking to my mom about our relationship. At first I told her Nicholas had been trying to reconcile with me but then she told me to shun him away. When I told her the second time she told me to be very careful with him and to not end up overthinking over him. She also advised me to consider Steven, reminding me of his countless sacrifices and devotion to me. Anyways today I decided to tell her that I had fallen for him again, and if she told me to stay away from him and consider Steven I would tell her my relationship with Steven is better off the way it is now. Brotherly stroke sisterly. Nothing more and nothing less. While gently walking to her room with the help of a staff, I walked past one of the pictures of my dad to which I once again found it resembling Mr. Anderson. Something told me it was the same person but I just couldn't believe it because I believed my dad wa
Replacement CEO Chapter 74: Home
While on our way to the airport, Nicholas called Captain Omar and told him to prepare our flight. The way he talked, you would assume he was in a fight with someone. I understood his pain but it was for the greater good. When I finally convinced my mom to consider our relationship again, I could spend weeks with him in his parents' house. Elizabeth thought we were going to the public airport but when she saw Nicholas driving us to a remote area she asked where we were heading to, "I thought we are going to the main airport?" she added. "No, I brought a plane. We are going to an abandoned airstrip, that's where our plane is" he said increasing the speed of the car. "Wow big bro, I never knew you have a plane?" she sarcastically uttered. "No, it's not mine" he robotically replied her. "Your friend's?" she asked. "No, hired!" he said and then urged her to allow him to focus on the road bec
Replacement CEO Chapter 73: Dining
While in the dining room, Nicholas looked worried. He must be thinking thoroughly about what I recently told him. It would really be better if he returned me back home to avoid making this worst or more complicated for himself and somehow, for me as well. I had promised him that if he returned me back, I would not disclose what happened to anybody and I would try my best to convince my mom into considering our relationship again. Even though that wouldn't be easy, but I would try my utmost best to see that it happens. His mother asked if I loved it in there house and I smiled at her while eating the vegetables in my plate, I didn't even know what to say to her. Of course they had a wonderful house and I would have loved it if I was on an official visit. But sadly, I was forced and brought there. It wasn't even as if my mom knew I was there, and what made me more uncomfortable in the house was that I was so concerned about my mom's condition.
Replacement CEO Chapter 72: Workout room
When it was time for dinner, Nicholas came to summon us from the workout room. He saw Elizabeth smiling thus, he asked her why she was smiling. As if that wasn't enough of a pestering, he was trying to snatch away the photo album in her hands. She quickly pulled herself away from his reach and pouted at him before leaving. She was really funny, and also playful. Nicholas's smiles disappeared as she left, thus he looked at me with a very sad look and asked if I had at least thought a little about what he told me already. He was really wanting me to return back to his life as if that would be easy. I heaved a sigh and told him I would make that decision with my mom when I returned back home. Instead of him to understand my point, he became more sad and told me if he loose me again then he would loose himself. He would also never forgive himself. He then grabbed the handle of my wheelchair and began wheeling me out of the workout room. He wasn't really happy, up
Replacement CEO Chapter 71: Sisters
In the evening before being called to eat lunch, I was with Elizabeth in the workout room. She was really a nice girl judging from how friendly she was. She told me stories about her life and how both she and Nicholas would play around the streets with some of the kids from their neighborhood. She was fifteen years old, about clocking sixteen. And she resembled Nicholas, though not much. She was more like her father than her mother, and since they weren't sharing the same biological father their resembles wasn't that much. She showed me some of her old pictures from their family album, she was really cute even when she was a child. One funny thing was that she looked like me when I was a child too. The resemblance was clear and vivid, thereby prompting me to remember the fact that we were obviously sharing the same father even though I wasn't really sure about it yet. I decided to ask her about her father and that if he had ever told her abo
