2025-01-17 16:22:00"Thank you for this opportunity." Christian was wearing a nice, flirty smile. "You look beautiful, Hailey."
"You'll refer to me as Miss Codza, Mr. Baldwin. This is an office, not a bar." I ensured he heard the strictness in my voice.
I was just arriving in with uncle Pete but he had to attend to an urgent ten-minute board meeting with the others.
I was supposed to be there but because of Christian, I'd asked him to go alone while I stayed back to receive Christian who had arrived at eight fifty five am.
He was early and I was impressed. He must really need this job if he was here already.
"Mr. Johnson will join us soon." I was yet to invite him into the main office.
I offered him a seat at the waiting section, attached to the CEO's office. I stood at the entrance of the office, waiting for uncle Pete.
Soon I spotted him coming.
"Good morning, Mr. Johnson." Christian stood just as uncle Pete c

CHRISTIAN"Why haven't you been picking my calls, man?" Jerome's annoyed voice came on the other side of the line."Today was the interview, remember?" His reason for being annoyed was rousing annoyance from me as well.Emotions inside of me warred as I had watched Hailey walked out on me. I'd always known Astra-Z Corporation was a big company and currently ranked best in the country.Stepping inside had put me in a daze plus the salary. Fuck! It was quadruple of what I'd expected. If they could pay me that much as a new employee, what about the experienced ones and old staff?I wanted from it. I wanted to own it. I wanted to run it and the only way was to court Hailey. Yes, I wanted her too back into my life but damn! I was too ambitious to pass up the opportunity to run the company with her."Alright, where are you now?" He questioned."On my way to my place, why?""You have a place now?"

"Uncle Pete just told me you hired your ex-husband." Jared said the moment I walked into the living room. It was time to prepare dinner. I eyed uncle Pete. "Really?"He was at the table, on his computer. There was a big home office/library in this house but uncle Pete mostly preferred working in the living room. His smile was a bit sheepish. "Sorry. It kinda fell out when we were having a conversation." Then he directed to Jared. "I thought you promised you won't tell her."Jared didn't reply him, rather he kept his gaze on me. "Why would you hire your ex?""Technically, uncle Pete hired him.""Because you gave the order.""Don't make it sound like a military thing. I didn't give any order. It was a request.""Same difference. Why?" He pressed further. "Why not?" I shrugged, walking past him to go see what uncle Pete was working on."Do you still have feelings for him?"His question threw me off, I was not expecting it. I narrowed my gaze at him. "Mind your business."His jealous e

"Are you ready to make the call?" I eyed Denise who was trying way too hard to control her anger. Her eyes filled with resentment glared. "Do I have a choice?" Her tone was coldly spiteful.But I could care less. I stepped further into the room. "Yes, you do. I mean, assuming you want to spend the rest of your life in prison with your would-have-been stepmother.""I don't even know the hell who that woman is but I'm sure she's a better bitch than you are." I knew she was trying to rile me up. To get me to be as angry as she was. And I knew better than to give in. A smirk crooked a corner of my lips. "I'm sure Catherine will agree..." I drew a chair close to her bed and sat. "...and I agree too. You know, six years ago, I was a bitch to you and everyone else albeit a pathetic, sad, weak one. When I left the picture, I decided if I was going to be called a bitch by everyone, I'd rather be a badass bitch than a pitiable one. So here we are. Now, talk time is over. You making the call

"Hello, ma'am.""Yes, Kazim? Are you in yet?" I asked.The reason I'd asked for the code was because I knew Derek would not give up the company up so easily and right now was just not the best time for court cases. In fact, someone like Derek didn't do legal issues. I didn't want to do anything that would make him know it was me and come for my son. Being the background, getting back what was mine was the way to go. When I ran the plan by Jared and uncle Pete, they saw my reasons as valid and supported me. "No, ma'am. The passcode is incorrect. I've been trying to break in but nothing's happening." He explained."What?" My eyes were now hazy, all I could see was red. "Are you sure of what you're saying?""Yes. Did it twice, nothing. I didn't want to risk a third time." He informed.Anger swirled. "I'll call you back." I ended the call. "That bitch!""What's wrong? It didn't work?" Uncle Pete was studying my expression."Incorrect passcode. She gave me an incorrect passcode." I repl

"oh God no! No. No." With trembling hands, I picked up my phone and dialed the line again. It made a disconnected beeping sound. I tried again, same thing. "This is all your fucking fault!" I yelled at her. I heard footsteps. There was uncle Pete. "Hey, what's going on?""She..." Words failed me as I thought of dad on his deathbed asking me to take care for the company and turn it into a great legacy. Dad had told me the story how he started that company. And I'd given it away to the wrong person for love. A stupid, blind, one-sided love! "Derek was already there, at the company. He was already siphoning the cash when we called." Denise provided, although she was talking in a voice that didn't sound like hers. "Damn!" Uncle Pete sighed. "Come here, Hailey." He pulled me up from the floor I'd subconsciously reached on my knees. "So long as you still have the company, we can make it grow. Your father's legacy will continue.""How?" I cried.

"So her father is...was the owner of Codza Company?" The President eyed me in surprise."Yes, Bronx. She came from money. She's not poor as many tend to think." Uncle Pete replied. We had gone to visit the President after uncle Pete had spoken to him. He had asked us to come to his office, Jared wasn't invited but he followed regardless. He was still upset with me but at least, he wasn't totally ignoring me and the fact that I had helped saved Nina. No one talked about or knew anything about her kidnap or release, it was kept under wraps, from the prying eyes and ears of the public, which was a smart idea on my part."Oh. That's a surprise though." He regarded me with a simple look before facing uncle Pete once again. "What's your plan? I've called the Chief of Police and they are yet to get back to me with any useful information.""So it was basically useless coming here." I rose from the chair, fighting back my tears and anger, with the intent to leave. "Hey, watch your mouth, y

"This will solve nothing, you know that." She complained bitterly as the policeman cuffed both her wrists. "It'll put you in jail for killing my father." I spat at her.We had just returned from the President's place, I'd called the police to come arrest Denise and take her away. "And then what, Hailey?" She reached the base of the stairs where I was, standing in my face. Her hair and eyes wild. "Then what?!"The policeman was pulling her away from me but she stood her ground, unmoving, still in my face. I took a step closer and our noses were almost touching. "And then I'll find your step father and make him pay for what he's done.""You don't know him like I do, Hailey. Derek Kellers is smarter than you think. You need me to find him. I can help you find him." The policeman was pulling her back, struggling to have her head towards the door. "Let's join hands and defeat him, Hailey. I can find him. I know him.""I don't need your help." Her stubbornness and insistence roused more

PHILIP"I'm going to kill her! That bitch!" Rage had me in a choking hold."She might be innocent, you know?" Derek said, climbing in after me.We were on our way to the airport, about to leave the country. It was midnight and Derek had pulled some strings, landed us a private plane. For a man who came from nothing, he had connections.Well, he did have money now."She's not innocent...well, she used to be. But that is not the woman I married. I don't understand her anymore. Damnit!" The more I thought about that letter and the fact that my wife had sent it to threaten me, knowing she had gone through my privacy was enough make me resolve to kill her."Whatever man. Let's just leave the country first, revenge will come. Your company is in good hands, that's all." He assured me with a companionable slap on my back. "What are we still waiting for?

JARED I know what I was about to do would cause trouble, but I had to do it. Moreover, if she never found out, there would not be a problem. I drummed my fingers on the desk, waiting patiently in the visitor's room. I wasn't the only visitor here, there were others, some were waiting as I was."Well, well, if it isn't the man of my dreams." She was brought before me, taking a seat opposite mine. "Let's go." I began to rise from the seat. "Go where? And just like that?" She raised a brow."Just yesterday, you didn't want to go to prison, today, you're reluctant to leave?""I believe the right word is hesitant. How do I know you're not taking me out of here to go kill me?" She retorted."Kill you? What for? Of what use will your death be to me, Denise?" I sat back down, meeting her gaze. She shrugged, her eyes not leaving mine. "You tell me, Jared.""See, I wouldn't be here if it's not important." I began."Ah-ha! So I'm guessing Hailey doesn't know you're here." It was more of a s
