“There is someone very powerful looking into the matter. Big Al gave me a call about it. It doesn't seem to be a coincidence that at the same time that someone is looking into the matter, the company all of a sudden started experiencing difficulties.”
The temperature went up a degree, but the suppression from Peter Crawford did not let up. It was becoming more difficult for Spencer Kent to even breathe in the midst of all this pressure.
“You do realize that you are threatening me? I could rid of you and no one in your family could ever question your disappearance.” The threat in his voice was evident to Spencer, but he would not back down.
“I am not threatening you, am simply informing you of an issue that could affect our mutual interests. After all, were the truth to be found out, we would both be in a very precarious situation as a result. I hope

Great misfortune had befallen Zach Garrett. After the expulsion of his father from the Garrett family and subsequent death, nothing in his life had gone right. His business slowly went under, he lost all his friends and confidants, and eventually became the laughing stock of Creedmoor City. He had been forced to become a live-in son-in-law after his reputation as a failed businessman had ruined any chances of him getting a job anywhere in the city or other neighbouring towns.His only consolation was the love of his life, Rachel Kent. She was from the Kent family, one of the top families in Creedmoor City. She was one of the top beauties in all of Creedmoor City. Many men had tried pursuing her but she loved and was loyal to Zach. From their university days, they had been inseparable. She loved him despite his woes and had stuck by him even though she was shunned by her entire family.Her parents had died while she was young and had been raised by Grandma Grace Kent. Gra

No one could believe what had happened.“Do not try to insult my wife. You are the bad seed of the family yet you dare pass the blame to my wife? Don’t test me or else.....”“Everybody quiet!” Grandma Grace roared bringing the entire room to a deep silence. “Zach, you have no right to speak in this family. Even though you are married to Rachel, you have no right to talk in front of me- ““But I was trying to defend –“ “It's not your place to talk in my face or in front of the family. Let me investigate the issue my way unless you want me to compel Rachel to divorce you.” That statement got Zach to go silent in consideration.“So Rachel, what did you do with my money? And don’t give me that same lie that you didn’t steal the money.” Grandma Grace was losing her temper with Rachel and was now shouting.“Grandma, you know me. You know I would not do something as shameful as this.” Rachel said in tears as she knelt in front of Grandma Kent. She could n

He was back. And he was back with a storm on his heels. He would make all of them pay. The Kent Family would regret ever making him and his wife suffer. He was going to make their suffering long and painful. The loss of his wife to a hit and run after leaving the Kent Mansion was enough to drive him crazy. He knew that the accident was simply not a coincidence.Someone murdered his wife and unborn child.When Grandma Grace heard that Rachel was pregnant she almost asked her to come back. She was merciless enough to let a pregnant woman go to jail but she decided not to report the matter to the police and instead took everything away from them and instead let them live in the streets. She had her died a few days after her accident. With no family around.She died a few days later at the hospital while in a coma. He was never the same after that. He had borrowed some money and left the country to escape the pain he felt every time he thought of his wife. He had se

Grandma Kent called for a meeting as quickly as time allowed. She wanted to understand why York Enterprises has simply cut off all ties with them. Without the partnership, the Kents would soon be over in Creedmoor City. Their business success was a result of the financial backing they had from the corporation.At the family mansion, Grandma Kent sat quietly waiting for someone to come up and offer a solution. But none of her family members were willing to speak up. To preserve face, James decided to contribute first.“Grandma, how about we sue York Enterprises for failing to honour their previous commitments? They just can’t do this to us. We have been partners for too long for them not to give us any face.”Grandma Kent looked at him in anger, “Do you think am foolish enough not to have considered the thought? Even if we decided to sue them, it would only end in our ruin. After all, our net worth is at most 500 million which is simply pe

The family was now in shambles as James had failed to convince or even see the new president. The Kent family did not even know where to turn.“We can send the most beautiful woman in our family to represent us in front of the new president. After all, our family has some of the top beauties in this city. We can send Rach-....... Celine.” Grandma Grace's expression changed to one of sadness on the sad memory. “Celine will go and make our case to the new President and hopefully he will show mercy to our company. If this fails, we are all doomed.”“Grandma, I will do my best not to let you down. I will not leave without seeing him.” Celine Kent answered demurely as though she did not want the task of going to negotiate on behalf of the family. She also knew that if she managed to catch the eye of the new president, she might be set for life.The family dispersed and waited for feedback from Celine.The following morning, Celine arrived at York Enterprises H

Two minutes later, Zach walked into the most luxurious room in the club with blood all over his hand but none on his suit or his crisp white shirt.Big Al was reduced to a stammer as he stared at the man making himself comfortable across the table from him. “Who... How...Who...” He could not formulate the right question to ask this strangely calm man. “Are you here to kill me?” He finally asked once he had gotten control over his tongue.“No,” Zach answered calmly, “As I said, am here to talk.” He poured himself a glass of wine after wiping the blood off his hand using the paper towels on the table. “I am simply here to claim on my investment.”Big Al was puzzled, “What investment? Do we know each other?”“You don’t know me but I know you. After all, you only have your power because of my money. Remember about four and a half years ago just before your rise to the biggest

But it had to be done. Otherwise, he would not experience any peace.As he was driven towards his new house, his car drove slowly past the Kent Mansion.

The next morning at the Kent Mansion, the entire family had gathered hoping that Grandma Grace Kent had already made a decision. The sale of the company’s shares was bound to make some family members angry but there was no other option to revive the company.They were especially hoping that whoever bought the shares would be willing to sell them back to the family once they had recovered to their previous financial position.Just as the meeting was about to begin, the family butler rushed in to make an announcement, “There is a very disguished gentleman here to make a bid on the company. He wishes to make the offer directly to the main shareholder. He will not speak to any other person.”The entire family was shocked as they did not know who would dare to come and make any such requests especially in their family mansion.“Just let him in. After all, he may be here to provide a better proposal to the family.”The butler then left in a hurry to welcome the di

“H.....h......how?” Grandma Kent was left stuttering, as she had no idea how he could manage the takeover with his meagre background. “Liar…do you think everyone is as stupid as you! Coming here on your high horse to try to threaten me with your pathetic lies. I should get someone to kick you out of here, but let hear what nonsense you are going to continue spitting at me.” She could not believe that after all this time, he could have the guts to come and lie to her face. He really thought that she was as stupid as he was. “I figured that you would not believe me. In any case, I did not come here to fuss over such matters with you. I am simply here to inform you that despite your ambition, you will not be enjoying a single coin of the two hundred million you are expecting to receive.” Grandma Kent was getting impatient with Zach and could not wait to get him out of her sight. “Get to the point as quickly as you can. Your sight is making me dis

He did not care if he had to go through all his wealth or the entire city to get to Peter, but he had to do it all the same.He then made a call, “I need you to call upon all the masters under me for a meeting. I need them at the mansion by the end of the day. I do not care if they at the bottom of the ocean or under the sea, I expect to find them waiting for me at the war room.”Without even waiting for a reply, he hung up.He slowly got up and decided to make a visit to the one place he had not planned to ever go back.To the Kent Mansion.He slowly walked out of his office and signaled his driver that they were heading out.On the drive to the Kent Mansion, Zach pondered on his plan against Peter Crawford.

Once settled in his car, Michael made a call.“Hello Sir. They plan went as agreed. I dangled the money in their face and then took it back. Withdrawal of all the bids was a stroke of genius. It helped turn the tide in our favor. I have asked them to retain their current positions but changes are bound to come soon once you take up your new role as the owner of the business. I have not revealed your identity though.”“Good work Michael. You will receive adequate compensation for your work. You can now proceed to do your work. The next phase of my plan will be handled by me in my own time.”Zach answered as he swiveled in his chair in his own office at the York Enterprise headquarters. This was bound to be very interesting.He then received another call, “Good morning sir. I have been able to make enquiries on one of the best properties in the city. The Rose Villa is best home for you. It’s only worth two hundred and fifty million. I need your consent to proceed w
