Chapter 30: The Interview
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I arrived at my office very early this morning. Today being my last day at work, I want to get everything done on time and go home to my parents.
I spent hours on the phone yesterday night talking with my dad and he has accepted for me to take over the running of his company for the meantime until I gather enough money to build my own media house.
Sitting down on my desk, I went through the question once again. None of them were implicating or harmful to me, though seeing them both together is enough to hurt me but I just couldn't shake off Deborah's warning to me.
Speaking of her, she walks into my office looking as beautiful as ever in a pink jumpsuit and white stiletto heels. I look up from the file I was holding to glare at her. I don't know why she's here again today. Is she here to taunt me?
"Hi, Nina Miller is it?" She said laughing "I heard it's your last day at work today, so I brought you flowers as a sent-off gift for a job well-done," She

I stood up abruptly from the couch as I turn to go after Nina but Deborah pulled me back. I still can't wrap my head around her pregnancy. Is this one of her scheme to separate me from Nina?.And to think that both of my parents are aware of it, it's no wonder mom and her were getting closer the other day. How can she be pregnant, I've never released inside of her, hell! I never had sex with her without using a condom."How many months is the pregnancy?"I said as I turn to look at her awaiting her reply."I_________" she fidgeted on her seat avoiding my eyes nervously"Michael, my son. How are you?" Mr. Melton said as he comes over to greet me cutting her off from whatever she wanted to say."I'm good sir" I reply as I turn to leave "I'm sorry I have a meeting with important investors in thirty minutes" I lied to him as he nodded for me to go. That's one of the specks of being a rich CEO, you can lie using your business as an excuse.

"Oh my God! Danny, you've got to see this" I exclaim from the sitting room. Danny rushes out of the room panicking as he came over to meet me. His brown hair fans his brows from the running."What is it? Are you hurt?" He runs his hands through my body searching for any signs of pain or discomfort."I'm good but this_____" I look over at him as I pointed to the television in front of me. He sat down as we both watch the live interview with Michael and Deborah."Deborah Melton is pregnant!! How?" Danny exclaims shocked with his hands folded across his chest."Obviously, from what we just heard and they will be having their wedding a month after ours" I stood up from the couch, pacing around the sitting room getting angry. I can't believe Nina had to go through all of this. Why can't she be happy in her life?"Baby is alright. They will overcome this" Danny came over

"We are here" Austin deep voice call out to me as I turn to look at him then around my surrounding. I still can't believe that Lilian talked me into coming, left to me alone I wouldn't be here right now. I don't feel like partying anyway.I walk out of the car and stood beside Austin on the red carpet linking my hand on his arm. Today is the launching party of the Hotel Italia. Yes, the same hotel Michael and I first met ten years ago."Are you sure, you really want to do this" Austin said to me, his voice laced with concern? I look up at him and offer him a small smile as I nodded. I feel so guilty for using him right now but I will do anything for me not to be with Michael right now."Okay, let's do this" Austin said smiling as we walk into the hotel. I was thankful that there was no one to announce our names just to check our invitation and this was no masquerade ball, just a regular dinner night party but even at that there were still classic c

I cock my eyebrow at her surprised, "Really, let's see then"She smiles at me as I cursed the cleaning lady, what taking her so long?. I walk to the door to taste the handle, a time like this, I hate this state of the art door."I____this____is_____the___key" I turn to the lady who was in a stuttering mess because of me. I hastily grab the keys from her as she ran for her dear life, I open the door and drag Nina inside, closing the door and locking it."Locking us in, are we?" Nina said seductively as she looks at me, I turn to look at her excited as hell, I never knew her to be a seductress but I like her a lot right now."You talk too much, Bella Mio," I said as I walk slowly up to her, unbuttoning my blazer in the process, she licks her lips. Woah!, that's exactly the kind of response I wanted with my blazer off, I push her on the bed kissing her roughly, the sexual drive was so much that I struggle to breathe."You will be t

"I love you Michael Thompson" I heard Deborah said to Michael immediately, I and Austin enter into the dance floor.They were oblivion to us, I brace myself as I waited for Michael's response."What are you on edge for? Surely, Michael loves you" My subconscious said rolling her eyes at me being nervous"Wow! girl. I thought you've abandon me too, it's been ages I last saw you. Oh! How I've missed you" I said sarcastically while rolling my eyes at her too, she glares at me but I ignored her in time to hear Michael's faint whisper"I love you too, Deborah Melton" My heart bled at that simple word that held much emotions. I tightens my grip on Austin shoulder as I hide my face on his neck, the tear were falling down my face"Are you alright, Nina," Austin concern voice cut out through me as I nodded my head at him."I'm okay Austin properly tired from all the partying

I walk down the lobby to the nearest cafe restaurant near hotel Italia where I will be meeting Xavier. Though, I've been expecting him to arrive for two weeks now but he just arrived yesterday but I can never underestimate his jobs, always clean and cut just exactly what I need right now.I walked into the cafe house, and ordered a cup of coffee while I waited for Xavier. He stroll down the street and enter the cafe house discreetly as professionally as he could be.Though I don't see any use with the need for discreet since no one knew us here."Xavier" I said as a form of greeting, when he sat down in front of me. Xavier and I were childhood friends until he joined the army from there he turned rogue. We've been in contact ever since my sister's murder."Austin. Same old Austin" He reply smiling briefly before getting professional "The bomb has been placed into the plane and one of my men is there with the remote to ignite it when the time reach

I still can't believe what I saw and heard even right now that I'm in my parents' house, I'm wondering if I heard right.Michael is in love with Deborah Melton? When? How?. “To think that I allow that animal to touch me, I feel like killing him with my bare hands” I clenched my fists annoyed as I sat down in the sitting room at my parents'.I'm so happy right now that I followed my instincts to come here, I wouldn't know what I will be doing at home now“You will probably be crying at home right now,” my subconscious said, looking up what she was doing. I glared at her, must she state the obvious. She rolled her eyes at me and went back to whatever she was doing.I raise my head up as I turn to force back the tears that threatened to fall, I wouldn't want mom to be worried, which she seems to do those days.Looking around the sitting room, I was glad to see that my parents have fully unpacked even though I didn't help them o

I was agitated as I waited patiently for Nina to come back home. It's quite late,where could she be______?"Is this how she comes back late?" I ask her little brother who doesn't seem so little after he has attacked me with a bat for breaking his sister's heart."That's none of your business" He replied as he went back to his chair just as a woman walked out carrying a cup of coffee for me. I collected it, smiling appreciatively at her as my hand clenched the newspaper tightly. I couldn't believe Nina could stoop so low to get back at me. I'm so freaking annoyed with her.I sip my coffee as I use that opportunity to look around. I was surprised to see a picture of her and her dad when she was still a baby. I smile at her beautiful eyes and kissable lips."What are you doing, Michael, you are supposed to be annoyed with her not thinking about her eyes and lips, you dump skull" I scolded myself as I schooled my face back to blank immediately I heard the doo

FIFTEEN YEARS LATER DEBORAH I stepped out of the prison yard with a new change of clothes, clutching onto my purse and accessories, the lady at the reception had handed me in my hands. I shield my eyes from the harsh sun with the purse in my hands, it felt so good to be finally free. “ Woah! The weather is so good today” I exclaimed excitedly, taking a swirl around in excitement. “ Yes, you can say that again” I turned to see Xavier gazing up at me with so much love and affection in his eyes that I couldn't help shielding away shyly.

How was your night?

Come on in” I told her with a broad smile on my face as I motioned her over.Aurora dropped the file on my table while I flipped through the pages looking for a particular entry. It was the budget for the Thompson's Hospital. Apparently, Dad found out the money budgeted for the hospital was too much and requested that we reduce it which was why I'm in a meeting with Doctor Damien. The director of the Thompson's Hospital.“ So, Doctor Damien. We've cut down the budget to fifty million dollars, hope that will be enough?” I asked him, I could see his lips curled up in a fr

We all sat in the courtroom looking around while I held onto my daughter's hands, Michael was on my right holding on to Nadia's hands while Nora was beside me. They had recovered from most of their bruises but we were all still going to therapy every Tuesday. Even Lillian had joined us this time, I couldn't help regretting dragging her into my mess.I stared into the whitewashed room of the courtroom but I wasn't really seeing anything. All I could remember was the night when I felt I was going to die and Michael had saved me the second time ...“ What is she doing?” I turned to stare at Lillian who gazed was fixed on Deborah, who was checking her gun to see if she had enough ammunition in them wearing a light smile on her face.

I paced around my office in anticipation, ever since our last call with Lillian, we couldn't get in touch with her. She had refused to answer any of our calls and had sent it to her voicemail.“ Any luck with her yet?” I turned to ask Danny who was trying her phone again. I could see the worry etch his brows as sweat streamed down his face. I couldn't help being annoyed with myself that I had caused everything. I regretted ever bringing him and Lillian into this mess. Hell, I regretted ever risking my wife and children's life. If only I never met Deborah then none of this would have happened.“ Not yet. She just won't pick up even after leaving her a dozen messages. She's just so stubborn especially when it comes to Nina” Danny exclaimed running his hands through his hair in frustration as he paced to and fro

“ Joey, come on. Please stop crying.

I don't know what's going on with them. And who the fuck is Deborah? I so hate her” He screamed at me as he turned to watch me from the doorway trying to dab at his now teary eyes.I strolled to pull him close as I let him sobbed on my shoulder, ignoring him using the swear word. Any other day, I would have scolded him but today, I decided to let him be since he was hurting so badly.“ It's okay son, momma understands. I promise we'll find them soon but please you've got to be strong for them. You know Nora and Nadia wouldn't like to

I couldn't help being worried about them. Is Deborah taking care of them? Have they eaten?A lot of things are going through my mind but there's no one to talk to. Michael had been busy these days, especially after he found out that Deborah had tricked him.He couldn't stop blaming himself for not being vigilant and I couldn't add to his self-loathing by telling him about the calls I've been receiving and that from Deborah.I could still remember her last call which was a few weeks ago after we came back from the hos

I mean most casino businesses are illegal and I wouldn't want my money to go to waste. It's hard to earn a fortune these days you know, and_______”“ Mr. Gonzales” I called to the bald head man who was miles away from me trying to make him stop with his blabbering as I was getting irritated. He was a Spanish business tycoon who had quite a fortune but didn't know how to invest his money. He was just on the news a while back because of his eighteen years old, fifth wife who had squandered his money on a designer outfit that cost a thousand dollars.“ I'm not forcing you to invest in my company but I'd like you to remember that if you don't invest your fortun
