“Don’t tell me that you sent them to prison because of that only,” Mr Clark asked as he looked at Rhiannon in disbelief.The others were shocked when they discovered that Clark’s mistress and the youngest daughter were in jail. They all were frightened as their stock would fall once more if it was discovered.They wanted to blame Rhiannon and claim that she didn’t care about the company but after thinking about the situation very carefully, they had to admit that both Rhiannon and Mr Clark did a good job in hiding what had happened in their family.If it wasn’t for the fact that the man had asked Rhiannon immediately and without thinking out of anger, they would never have known it. For this, they didn’t bother blaming Rhiannon again but wondered what kind of mistake the mother-daughter duo made to make Rhiannon so angry that she would charge them.Rhiannon glanced at her father without thinking and thought that the man could think anything he wanted as it wouldn’t affect her in any w
“Are both of you going to return her things or not?” Mr Clark asked the mother-daughter duo who were seated opposite him.“Why should I return them to her? She has refused to drop the charges. How sure am I that she will drop them after I return them?” Kaylee said sharply and arrogantly.Mr Clark glared at her hoping that she would change her decisions as his position was at risk. He also couldn’t understand why Kaylee turned the way she was.He had expected Rhiannon to be that way as he never provided her with the same luxury he provided Kaylee with but everything that had been happening proved him wrong.“You have to! Rhiannon is the head of the company and has more power than you think! She said that if you didn’t return her things, she would take the CEO position from me. Do you want me to be left with no power in the company?” Mr Clark said loudly and angrily shocking the duo.“What? How can that wrenched girl do that to you? Has she forgotten that you are her father? And if she
Kaylee was shocked by her father’s words and felt conflicted about what to do.She had always wanted to take everything that was precious to Rhiannon and that’s why she had taken the jewels so as to make the latter hurt and heartbroken.Mr Clark glanced at her daughter who was busy having a conflict on what to do. Of course, Kaylee didn’t know to how conceal her emotions thus everything was clear to her father. But when the man saw that she was taking too long to make a decision, he sighed, stood up and turned around ready to leave.“Where are you going? Aren’t you going to get us out?” Mrs Clark asked in panic when she saw her husband leaving.Mr Clark halted his steps but didn’t turn around to glance at the latter.“Get you out? Am I the one who pledged the charges? If you want to get out, call Rhiannon and request her presence. After she comes, beg for her forgiveness as you tell her where her jewels are. Maybe afterward, she would forgive you and get you out,” he said coldly then
Rhiannon woke up tired and immediately regretted proposing to spend the night with Octavius.“You are awake?” a deep voice sounded a little far from where she was lying.Hearing his voice, Rhiannon was stunned and later realized she had been captivated by his deep voice.She turned around as she didn’t want him to see her flushed face and start making fun of her or even worse, make her late for work.“Are you trying to ignore me?” he asked in a low tone as he whispered to Rhiannon in her ear.Rhiannon was shocked and wondered when the latter had climbed the bed.“You! What are you doing here?” she asked in a low tone as she covered her face with the duvet and moved a little bit far from Octavius.Octavius saw the scene and chuckled since he understood what was going on in her mind.“What are you thinking with your little head, mmh? You are just evil-minded but I don’t mind fulfilling your wish once more,” he said as he pulled the duvet up, uncovering her but Rhiannon later pulled it u
Octavius who was at the stairs heard her shout and frowned as he wondered why she was screaming and when he left, she was just fine.He glanced at the master bedroom door then started descending downstairs and ignored her as he knew that she wasn’t in any danger.How can something happen to her or someone invades their house with all the men guarding outside?Rhiannon remained silent as she listened to hear whether the door had been opened or not as she knew that he was just nearby and had surely heard her scream.After waiting for five minutes no one walked in, she frowned and walked into the bathroom with an angry expression, and she felt wronged.‘That bastard! What if I broke my leg when bathing and screamed his name? Can’t he come and see what’s wrong?’ she asked herself as she stepped into the bathtub.She didn’t dare use the shower as she felt that what she had just said a few minutes ago might be true thus to avoid accidents, she opted to use the bathtub.At the same time, she
Just as Octavius thought that things were going on smoothly, he was shocked when he discovered that Rhiannon had changed the rooms once more and every time he tried to get close to her, she would excuse herself.It wasn’t that he didn’t want to ask her what was wrong and why she was angry with him, but he was afraid that after asking her, whatever he said would be so displeasing and also affect him.Rhiannon went on for a week, giving him a cold shoulder while Octavius tried his best to get his attention.At the same time, that one week had been torture to Kaylee and Mrs Clark in prison.They had initially thought that Mr Clark would do anything and everything in his power to get them out but they were shocked and dumbfounded by what he did.He ignored them and pretended that his family wasn’t arrested. Every day, he would go to the company early in the morning and go back home very late as he didn’t see the need to go home so early.Kaylee and her mother tried contacting him but ever
Rhiannon was seated on her office chair when her phone started ringing.She frowned as she glanced at where she had placed it wondering who might be calling her at that time.The call ended while she was still debating whether to pick it up or not.She stretched her hand, took it then switched it on so that she could see who was calling her.Just before she took a glance, she received an incoming call.Having no other choice, she picked it up.“Hello,” she said immediately she picked it and placed her the phone on her right ear“Hello, madam. Am I talking to Miss Rhiannon?” the person on the other side said, causing Rhiannon to glance at the screen again.“Yes, may I know who I am speaking to, please?” she asked politely as she continued going through the documents that were on the table.“That’s good. I am a prison warden,” the person on the other side said her occupation without saying her name in fear that Rhiannon might tell the high-ups about her collaboration with the Clarks’ mo
Rhiannon nodded her head then thanked the bodyguard before walking to her father’s office.She knocked at the door when she arrived outside his office.“Come in,” a cold voice sounded in the room.Rhiannon opened the door and walked in.“Is there something that needs my signing? I am going through these documents so that I cannot submit them to Rhiannon with any mistake as it will take her time as she goes through them,” Mr Clark said immediately he heard someone walking in and closing the door behind thinking it was his secretary.Rhiannon pursed her lips as she stared at her father.‘No wonder all the documents that are been brought are flawless. I didn’t expect him to go through them before I needed them just because he wanted to help me. Now I understand why my work has been so easy,’ She said in her head as she felt conflicted.Although her father had never given her any finance or support, he always told her to take care of herself and that the money he was supposed to give her
