Mr. Henderson breathed a sigh of relief at least 50% was given back to him. That's the most important thing. He firmly held his hand as if wanting to squeeze it. That stupid brat, he almost made me lose everything. All my life investments would have gone down the drain. "Dad did you..." "Shut up you ungrateful brat. How dare you ruin things for me in such a way. How could you involve yourself with a lady who is under the protection of the famous business tycoon? Are you really my son? Why have you chosen to ruin me like this?leave that woman, whoever she is, stay away from her. Runaway whenever you see her if possible... just stay away from her. Do you want our downfall to come so soon because of one woman? I beg of you, focus on your marriage and if you are not satisfied with Kimberly, you can find some other woman outside but stay away from that woman....I am sure you know who she is. For the sake of our family, stay away and focus.
The media will be here so make sure you perform well, I don't want fake stories to pop out in tomorrow's news". Mr. Henderson said as he walked past Alex" "Dad I... Mr. Henderson waved his hand indifferently showing that he was not interested in listening to anything. Alex sighed helplessly and looked at his father's back. So that guy was capable of disabling all my father's contracts in less than 24 hours, how is this even possible? Does this mean I completely have no chance with fortune? how will I know his name? I don't even know his name but I would definitely recognize him. ..the first time I saw that guy was with Terry and I also remember seeing him with Chris...Alex thought to himself and quickly took out his phone and searched for Terry's photos he looked at each and every photo until he found a picture of Terry standing side by side with zack.
Alex smiled and read what was written, it just shows that the man's name is Zack. That was According to the information provided. Alex shook his head, he felt like he needed more information. He searched for Chris and there it was..the information about partnership between Chris and Zack concerning the hospital projects. One hospital in city A and two hospitals in city B. Alex was stunned, it was easy for him to figure out that Chris was just a cover-up in order to avoid suspicion. This guy owns the three biggest hospitals in city A and B. "Zack is a professional psychologist and a military soldier, he thought of involving a few people who could invest in his project and also involved his best friend in the project" Alex was shocked upon reading what was written down. This guy is not only a psychologist but also works in the military? How is this even possible, how could he be the underground business tycoon? Alex had sweat on his forehead, what kind of a man is this?
Such a man crawls on the surface of the earth and is invincible.. I see why no one knew his identity. It only means someone can only find out about his identity if he tells them. Even if I employed an investigator, I still wouldn't know the truth. I think I should back away from fortune for some time. I just need to have a handle against this man, a loophole, or something I can use against him... "Alex, what are you still doing here? It's time" mr Henderson reminded Alex who seemed to be in deep thought. Alex walked up to his father in long strides "yes, and father, after this I have something important to tell you. I just discovered something and I think it might interest you". Mr. Henderson waved his arm lazily " as long as it's not something that will put this family into trouble, of course, I am interested". Alex nodded then led the way out, heading for the main hall.
All the media reporters were taking pictures and took note of every happenings at the occasion and it was trending news. Fortune was in the hospital having fruits. Asia suddenly handed over a phone to fortune "hey, this is your phone, you better call aunt..I am sure she is worried about you so just assure her that you are fine". Fortune nodded "oh, hence I forget, I told her that we were busy with exams so don't be surprised if she mentions it or asks you about it," Asia said. fortune chuckled and called her mum directly "mum, how are you?". Mrs. Williams was overwhelmed upon hearing her daughter's lovely voice " darling, mum was a little worried about you". Fortune's heartstrings tightened a little and she sighed. "Mum, I am sorry, didn't Asia tell you that we were busy with exams..had to do a lot of studying..you know how it goes with exams" fortune explained, the conversation went on for some time till fortune hung up.
Asia walked up to fortunes bedside and sat beside her "Fortune, I don't know what you were thinking when you attempted to do such a thing to yourself but one thing I will say to you is that you were negligent with your life. Tears are really special and must not be wasted in any way. You wasted your tears on a person who does care about you, a person who never cared in the first place. At this moment, he is getting engaged to someone else and you want to sit here and sob over him? Fortune you are better than this, I always tell you to know your worth. Know what you are worth and what your tears are worth...everything that happened to you, happened for a reason, it's for a purpose. Never waste your tears on someone who doesn't care about you. I always tell you to know your worth fortune, you are worth much more than you think. Walk with your head held high and be the woman you have always wanted to be..don't allow these things to forget your dreams, what you plan to achieve. Fortune you had a dream before you decided to study medicine, focus on that dream. Life will throw hurdles at you but that doesn't mean you should forget your dreams.
"Asia I was mad at myself, I was disappointed in myself. I allowed myself to be used and tossed into the trash like I was a piece of garbage. I was enraged Asia, I was angry. I couldn't stand the shame of seeing the man who meant alot to me marry another woman, I..." Stop fortune, we learn from our mistakes..you are not perfect and you can't always make the right decisions for your life. Fortune when you stumble and fall, pick yourself up and keep on moving. That's how life is, it's full of disappointments, heartaches and all the hurdles you can think of but all those things are what build us and bring out a better vision of ourselves. When you fall, you have to rise up and be better than before. Without these things, it would be difficult to learn certain lessons of life because we learn from disappointments. Please fortune, heed to my advice. Never try to harm yourself because of heartbreak. It's not worth it. The person you might be crying for would probably be enjoying themselve
She misunderstood something and now...." Chris please, don't involve me in such drama, she won't do anything to hurt herself, I know her better.. You two act like kids at times and I really don't have the time to deal with your little issues. If she is upset, talk to her and deal with whatever issue you are having" zack said indifferently. "Zack at least help me talk to her..you know how she is when she is upset, I..."Chris is that why you came into my study without knocking?You came in here running like a mad man..You should know how to talk to your woman and make her understand, what will happen if I am not alive anymore? Deal with it yourself" Zack responded indifferently then focused his concentration on his desktop. Chris sighed helplessly, he knew Zack was right and silently walked away. Asia was feeling depressed at this time, she walked down the highway like a lonely little girl. "Can I join you?" Asia who was lost in her thoughts heard a familiar voice but just ig
"So what you are saying is that your father also forced you to sleep with Kim am I right?"Fortune suddenly asked this question which made Alex freeze. Fortune chuckled "you know Alex, you are so dramatic..do I look like a fool? You think I am an idiot, don't you?" Alex abruptly shook his head in denial "no, no fortune, I would never think of you in such a way..yes, I admit I was in bed with Kim but she seduced me, she is a sly fox that only wanted to get my way with me" Alex said in his defense. Fortune shook her head as if in disappointment "Alex, Alex, I didn't know you were such a coward, you can't even accept your own mistakes. I regret wasting my time just to listen to your nonsense. I think you should get moving now before your wife starts looking for you". Alex never cared about what fortune said, he took out his phone, looked at his album then found the picture of Chris and zack. He turned his phone then showed it to fortune. "do you know them?". Fortune raised her brow
Don't mess with men you don't know fully well. Stay away from fortune. From what I gathered, you are married so I suggest you focus on your marriage. You are nothing without your father and right now, you are alive because of him. Anyways I hope I have made myself clear" Ashley turned and walked away. Alex had a burning rage in his eyes, he just hated everything around him and hated the fact that everyone was praising Zack, even fortune dared to say that Zack was five times the man he was..it was an insult to Alex..he couldn't stand this kind embarrassment. He felt like he was nothing. Like he was just a waste. Zack is just a human being, just like me, why should everyone respect him while they disrespect me? Zack this, zack did that, zack is like this and he behaves like that Zack this and that I am tired of all this. What? They think just because Zack is the underground king he can't be touched? I will show them what I am capable of..he might be the underground
I have to overlook everything and make sure all is well..I have people in various parts of the world working for me yet only a few know me" Zack said as if he were a lonely man...he looked in a distance at the mountain view that stood not far from his villa. Ashley patted him on the shoulder "don't worry..it will take time for her to come around, you know she just experienced a terrible heartbreak so try and understand her and give it as much time as you possibly can" Ashley advised then turned and walked away, leaving Zack staring at the mountain in a distance. Fortune I bought this villa because of you..it made you happy looking at how beautiful and natural the mountain view was.. Zack sighed helplessly, he had a mixture of feelings at this moment and didn't know what to think.Time slowly went by and finally, fortune and Asia graduated and were now medical doctors. During this period of time, Fortune dedicated herself to being a doctor, she rejected each and every man that came her
Fortune I am sorry but I won't give you the chance to slip off my hands this time. I won't allow it. On the other side, fortune didn't know what to do, she was about giving zack an excuse but it was pointless. She sighed helplessly then continued with her work."If we must get rid of Zack, we need to start with the people surrounding him, that will make him weak. That Chris guy has been by his side way longer than anyone else...we start from him but if we find an opportunity, we get rid of them all. "Let me start with Nora, they say a woman is like a powerful weapon when she is out for vengeance and is extremely dangerous" Alex suggested. Kevin nodded his head in agreement "you are right. At the right time, I will organize something for the escape but you need to make a deal with her first, she has to act accordingly. Make her understand what she needs to do". Alex just nodded then left. He took the first flight early the next morning and after a few hours of travel, he arr
If you try to act sneaky, we will hand you over to the police or kill you. So tell me what you have decided, remember your son has no mother because of Zacks action". Nora shook her head "no, you are wrong about one thing.. I don't care about that little brat, I don't care at all". Alex was stunned and began to doubt if his coming was of any use. " but, if you want me to kill Zack, I have a condition" Nora continued. Alex raised his brow, "what condition?"." hmm, it's simple, when I succeed, I want three million dollars worth Zacks property, if you can do that, I will gladly do the job" Nora said with a smile, she had her own sick plans beneath her sleeves. Alex raised his brow and looked at Nora for some time before he stood up "I will leave now and see you a day before the plan is executed just to give you a proper guideline on the escape plan. Remember what I told you....don't touch fortune in any way, your task, I have made clear to you on what to do, I don't wan
"fortune, I won't waste so much of my time going around in circles, you know exactly how I feel about you and my feelings for you have not changed... I don't know what you might think but I can assure you that what I feel for you is true love. it's real fortune and my heart has been beating for you since the first day I set my eyes on you. Despite our forced breakup, I never loved anyone else because my heart only has your name tattooed to it. This is not a joke but if you take me for one, well and good". Fortune exhaled deeply. "zack, it's just that I feel I'm not ready, I don't know but... " it's fine, let it be" zack interrupted then concentrated on his food like nothing ever happened. The next day fortune went to work as usual and was shocked to see the man standing at her office door. She calmed herself so as for her not to overreact. She smiled at the man in front of her and spoke politely "good morning Ken, how are you?". Ken who was fortune's workmate smiled and fo
The call got disconnected and fortune was all over Zack. "Come on Zack did you have to say that, do you want to make my relationship with my dad awkward? Come on don't be so mea "At this moment, the back door of the car was suddenly opened, Zack and fortune simultaneously looked at who opened the door and saw Asia carefully sitting inside the car."Fortune, you have already tied your life to this big bully, you need to get used to it" Asia said in a mocking tone. Fortune and Asia enjoyed the ride while Zack drove to a restaurant not far from the main villa where they lived. The three had their lunch and went back.Ashley sat in his room, he was in such deep thought that he didn't hear the door being opened. "Ashley, do you have a few minutes to spare?" Asia asked politely. Ashley didn't respond or look at her, Asia raised her brow and looked at Ashley, she noticed he was in deep thought."Ashley,
Asia sat in her room in deep thought. She sighed heavily then stood up and grabbed her bag then walked out. She asked one of the driver's outside to prepare the car and sat in the back seat of the car. "Ma'am, where am I taking you?" The driver asked respectfully."Hunter's view cemetery " Asia responded lazily. The driver nodded then drove out... ashley stood near the window and looked at the car that drove out, he sighed helplessly and questioned if he was doing the right thing. He knew that Asia would probably never love him cause she had always loved Chris. What will be left of md if she doesn't fall for me? I probably will never have a child in my life cause she will never allow me touch her, but what kind of a life will that be? Am I subjecting my life to some sort of self imprisonment because of love? Ashley shook his head...no, why am I thinking this way? I can't turn back on my decision, I must
Zack just nodded, he had no other words to say, No answers to give as to why all this happened. Mr Jacobs turned and walked out leaving zack in the ward. A few hours slowly went by , zack was still in the ward, he tried to sleep a couple of times but couldn't. "Chris, don't go, you can't leave me, please come back. If..if you leave, what's there for me to live for? OK fine...fine, if you want to leave, I will come with you. I...I will come with you, wait for me, Chris! I said wait for me, don't leave me please. I need you, don't go" Asia said in her sleep as tears flowed down her face. Zack was taken aback by this, it was obvious this dream felt real for her. He walked up to Asia's bed side and patted her on the cheek. "Asia, wake up, it's just a dream, wake up! Come on wake up""No, Chris come back, come back to me""Asia wake up! Zack said in a loud voice.Asia opened her eyes, she sat u
Asia felt like her world was coming to an end, everything around her began to spin uncontrollably until everything suddenly became dark. Asia passed out at this moment, "doctor, hey nurse. Take her to the ward, let her rest. Give her something that will help her rest" zack instructed the nurses around then sat on a corner in deep thought. At this moment, he didn't even what he was thinking of. Fortune wiped her tears then walked up to zack's side. She sat beside him and threw herself in his arms , a hug is all she could do right now to comfort him. Fortune thought about Asia's state and shivered upon thinking of the scene earlier. Exactly how will Asia manage without Chris in her life. Half of her life has been about him, she has loved him for so many years and now, he is gone. Zack held fortune in his arms as he blankly stared at the wall in the opposite direction. Chris father was comforting his wife, he looked at
At this moment there was a loud roar of thunder and it soon began to rain...with the wind and lightening, Zack felt even worse by the sudden storm. He felt like the whole world was closing in on him. He had never felt this helpless before , the pain was suffocating him , no air conditioning was enough to make the sweat off his forehead stop. He had no idea on how to console Asia or what words to use... Or find something to say that could make her feel better. Zack paced back and forth thinking of what he would do next. Kevin is dead, Alex was also dead, what else could he do in the name of revenge? This feeling was something he had never felt before, he suddenly screamed with all his might then fell to the ground again, panting and sweating. "Zack you need to calm down, it's not like Chris is dead so just..."Only a miracle can save him at this moment" Zack interrupted absent mindedly. Terry was stunned, could it be that the situation is this bad?
Asia smiled at her father and they slowly walked in. Fortune and camilla went in last and sat at the back . Asia felt a little nervous but with her father beside her, she felt relieved."Chris, I give my daughter to you, my only daughter. Love her, take care of her as a wife, respect her and always make her happy" Asia's father said this with so much emotions, he stepped back and motioned for the priest to begin the ceremony. Kevin who was in the crowd signaled for Alex to get ready, he was not willing to wait for Chris and Asia to be pronounced husband and wife....At this moment, Kevin and Alex both stood to their feet, Ashley who was a little absent minded noticed this action and subconsciously yelled in a loud voice "Asia get down". Chris reacted before the bullet could reach Asia,he stood in front of Asia like a shield, receiving the bullets being shot at him. The church hall was in chaos as everyone lay on the floor screaming
"Zack come on, must you mock me on my wedding day? Give me a break man, what's wrong with you?""Ok fine, listen here, stop worrying about this little bow tie and pay heed to my words. I am advising you as a friend, women can be a little funny at times, you need to treat your wife with extra care, get her some roses on your way back home..at least do it frequently. I learned this on the internet, it's another way to avoid too much nagging. So if you want less nagging, get her rose flowers on your way back home, get her chocolate or ice cream as well, you know how much she likes such irritating foods.And advising you as a brother in law, don't you dare hurt my little sister, or else I will forget about our friendship and skin you alive"Chris sighed helplessly without knowing what to say."Terry, organize a few of your men, just for security purposes. Kevin wouldn't try to make any funny moves, at least that's what I think" Zack said in a firm voice."Ok a
Fortune pouted her lips, "Zack, stop playing around here, I am serious. I want to ask you a question and I need you to answer me honestly"Zack nodded to fortune then closed his laptop and gave his attention to her.Asia looked at the two and thought it would be inappropriate for her to stay.She stood up and fixed her clothes then cleared her throat just to , get their attention. "I will leave you two so you can catch up. Fortune, remember my wedding will be soon and I have yet to make a decision concerning my wedding dress. I will need your help so don't give so much of your time on my brother, please. I am the one who needs attention. My brother is fine and healthy as you can see. So please, I hope you keep my words in mind. Your best friend needs you now more than ever" Asia said mockingly and winked at Zack before she turned."You say that you need her now more than ever, are you going to marry her? She must spend most of her time with the ma
Fortune giggled and quickly left the ward. Natasha was taken aback by the interaction between the two and was immersed in jealousy. What does this girl have that I don't have? Why does every man want her? I know fortune is a beauty but I am equally beautiful. I was hoping I could get close to this patient but this silly girl seems to move faster than me. But wait, it seems the two knew each other before now. Anyways it doesn't matter, I need this handsome guy, he must be mine. After all, it's obvious Ken doesn't want me, I lost interest in him the day I saw Zack so why should I waste my time on ken? Natasha was deeply immersed in her own thoughts, forgetting about Zack."Is this how you work?" Zack spoke in a deep voice which startled Natasha."Oh sir, I am sorry about that. Let me quickly check on your wound, we need to make sure there isn't any infection" Natasha spoke in a soft voice.Zack didn't say anything, he let Natasha check on his wound until she was done.
