"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

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

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

While heading towards the elevator section, I walked pass a group of nurses probably gossiping. Unfortunately for me, one of the recognized me. And just as she called my name I quickly waved and ran into the elevator that was just about to shut its door off. In the elevator, there was a nurse inside and then few other people that appeared to be visitors like me. The nurse asked why I was running away from her colleagues and I simply told her they were seeking for my attention. She then sighed and told me the name of the nurses, stating the fact that two among them were single and were easily attracted to handsome men like me. Her words made me choked. She was really funny, and I enjoyed her company. However our journey came to an end when we finally arrived at the 6th floor. I stepped out of the elevator together with few other people and watched as the elevator shut its door with the friendly nurse beaming at me. I smiled and shook my head before
Replacement CEO Chapter 64: Steven
Few days after Lena's arrest, I was expecting to see the news on television or at least hear about it on the radio but that didn't happen. In fact nobody was talking about it except those that already knew about it. I tried to reach out to the police but all efforts to no avail, infact they denied arresting her. They also didn't want to discuss about her. As if that wasn't enough, they even threatened to arrest me should I continue looking into the case. Thus, Kelly advised me to forget about the case and focus on finding the hitman before the police does. He believed finding the hitman would help us clear my name by simply deleting the conversation ascribed to me by Lena from his phone. But that wouldn't be easy, I know for sure because Kelly and I would probably not be able to stand against him. By the way, from where should we even start looking for him. He was definitely hiding somehow or laying low now that Lena had been arrested.

As soon as it was one o'clock dot in the afternoon, the General Manager came to my office and told me the meeting had been organized and that it was time. Thus, I heaved a sigh and glanced at him. "Okay, I will be right there" I said in what seemed like a whisper. "Sir? Yes, sir" he said, probably confused before taking his bow and leaving the office. Then withdrew to my feet, adjusted my necktie and followed suit. When I was finally in the conference room, everyone stood up and remained standing until I eventually arrived at my seat in the high table and settled down. That wasn't the first time I organized a general meeting or address my staff but today seemed different. I hadn't concluded on what to tell them about Lena when the General Manager came to call me. Anyways, I cleared my throat and began my talk to greetings. To which they all responded amicably to. Then I continued. "I know you guys ar

Her real name was Nadia Smith, she was an orphan and had grew up in the orphanage before she ran away and started her own business. She hacked for a living and also built websites for her clients. She was so famous in the dark web that she charges people a lot of money for services. Her computers were so superb, wires and connections every.

"Lena, wherever she might be would be answering questions by now. I believe the government has taken the case serious and now she's probably in the hands of the CAI" I said to Lena's mother. The woman had been calling and disturbing me, wanting to know about her child's whereabouts. Anyways, today I decided it was time for me to tell her the gravity of the situation so she could stop disturbing me. "CAI?" she screamed, "And why didn't the police arrest you too? Are you not her boyfriend? What have you done to my daughter? I will report you to the police..." "Yes, do that!" I said and quickly ended the call. I then blocked her contact and hissed. Her daughter was a crazy bitch and the trouble she caused me was enough to make me hate even the mentioning of her name, talk more of discussing about her. Lena had indeed done something I would never forgive her for. She had separated me from the one person I truly loved

And now being his wife made me realized how TRUE love can be, and how victorious patience can make one be.

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.

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
