"Come here," Zora said standing up to her feet and spreading her arms open for a hug.Angela stood up and hugged Zora. Zora rubbed Angela's back gently to comfort her."Thank you, Zora," Angela said withdrawing from the hug.Zora may appear not to take things seriously but she does help with good advice and also help one feel okay irrespective of what happened.Angela checked her time and she knew she needed to move to Don Entertainment. "I have to go now," Angela said and grabbed her bag. "You will be fine," Zora said placing her hand across Angela's shoulders as she walked her to the door. Angela left Zora's place and hailed a taxi to Don Entertainment. Upon arrival, she went straight to the receptionist and announced her presence. The receptionist informed Don and Angela proceeded to Don's office."So, he is the script?" Don said as soon as Angela was seated in his office. "What do you think?" he asked and Angela opened the file and read the summary of the story at the front of
This was Angela's first big project in the company and her capability is being questioned. She had successfully scripted and directed a stage play. She understands stage plays and films are different because one is a live show while the other is recorded for later view but the dynamics of directing are not so different except for the tools used. She had never directed a movie before and had never had to use movie-making tools but that is something she knew she could learn very first during the project. "Kindly return to your post," Don said to the team in the room in the room and they all exited the auditorium leaving Angela and Don alone."Ms Anderson, my company has remained on the bottom list of less popular filming industry in the entertainment circle. I had plans to up my game when your company and offered me that contract. I considered your company because it was obvious you didn't know me or anything about my company. I wanted the compensation I will receive when you cancel th
Angela stood frozen to her spot waiting to hear Bryce's next words. Since she assumed her position in the company, it's been one trouble after the other. "What issue?' Bryce asked staring at Susan."Mr Don is not happy we sent an unqualified person to manage his team. He feels insulted," Susan said. "An unqualified person?" Bryce repeated the words. "Well, call Mr Don, and tell him that, I said, this is Diamond Corporation, every employee here can handle the task assigned to them. So he should focus on his side of the deal while we do ours after," he added."Yes Mr President," Susan acknowledged and turned to leave.With her back to Bryce and now facing Angela. She glared at Angela while walking away. Angela just stared at her leave and wondered what she did to make Susan hate her so much. She recalled how Susan had received her nicely in her office the first day she came to this company. So what changed? "You care to tell me what happened at Don Entertainment?" Bryce's voice inter
Bryce stared at her face. He married her because she was the first woman he had slept with. He could not bring himself to give his body to another woman. He didn't marry her out of love, or the fact that she fits anything of his but just because she was his first. He was also very much aware he was her first too. He had never had the urge to go to bed with her again after their first time in the club where he was drugged. He didn't have much memory of how it felt and to make things worse, aside from the fact that he was always occupied with either work or family stuff, they were sleeping in separate rooms. He felt different for the first time around her when she started getting nightmares and he was forced to share a bed with her. The other day, when he saw Angela with Bernard, he didn't like it. He didn't want Angela around Bernard and feeling the two may hook up again after work, he decided to take her home himself that day. He was angry and he reminded her of their contract. She c
"Angela?" Susan called out Angela's name."I am sorry," Angela apologizes snapping out of her moment.She lowered her head stepping out of the way to make way for Susan and Bryce to enter the office. Susan deliberately stepped on Angela's feet when she took a step in and when Angela reacted by taking a step back, Susan leaned to her side and fell to the floor."What was that for?" Susan barked at Angela who appeared confused wondering what happened. "First you beat up Eva in the elevator and you pushed me to the floor? What is wrong with you?" she questioned as she got up from the floor.Bryce remained silent as he was not sure what happened. He only saw Angela move back and next Susan falling to the floor. He made no attempt to save Susan from falling. He strode into his office and stood beside the table while Susan scolded Angela."Enough Susan," Bryce intervened. "Angela you can go. Susan, get seated and let's get to business," he added and Angela exited the office immediately. "M
"Do I make myself clear," Bryce questioned."Yes, Mr President," Susan acknowledged."Now sit down and let's talk about the main reason why I called you out of your office," Bryce said and Susan pulled the chair in front of his desk and sat on it.Bryce picked a file from his desk and handed it to Susan. She accepted it and opened the first page. Bryce began to ask her questions about the file in her hand which happens to be an employee's file. The employee had been offered a contract and Bryce was not aware of it. Susan went ahead to explain what happened and Bryce decided to let that slide too giving Susan a final warning not to use their friendship for her gain. "You can go now," Bryce dismissed and Susan left.Bryce picked up his phone and dialled Angela's extension."Angela come to my office now. When coming bring the movie script along with you," Bryce said."Yes, Mr President," Angela said before the call ended. In less than five minutes, Bryce heard a knock on his door and
"So how do we send Angela to Bryce's apartment?" Eva asked after thinking through the idea. "Bear in mind that, Angela always leaves the office before Bryce," she added and sat down behind her desk."You are right," Susan replied thinking it through."Wait, you can give her another task that will make her leave the office late like the last time," Eva suggested."No, I would end up in trouble with Bryce," Susan said and snapped her finger. "I have a better idea," she said and walked up to Eva.She leaned in and whispered something into Eva's ears. Eva's eyes widened listening to Susan."That sounds perfect. This would make her incur the wrath of two bosses," Eva said laughing. "Let me call him right away," she added and fetched her phone."Hello Aaron, I have a job for you. It would require you to have a near-death experience. Can you do it?" Eva asked."You want me to risk my life to get rid of this Angela girl?" Aaron asked."Yes," Eva replied. "What did this girl do to you ladies
Angela lifted her head a little and stared at Bryce's sleeping face. She felt happy waking up to find him still in bed. It was 5 am. "Are you going to lie there staring at my face," Bryce's voice deep husky voice travelled to Angela's eyes causing her to jolt."Er, sorry," Angela apologized and tried to get up but Bryce pulled her back, making her lay back on the bed.He turned around coming halfway on top of her. He stared at her face and Angela was not sure where to look. Her eyes kept looking everywhere but his face. "Look at me," Bryce said, his voice commanding yet gentle.Angela stopped her roaming eyes and slowly shifted them to his face. He stared at her face and Angela began to feel uncomfortable with the way he was staring at her. He leaned forward and kissed her lips."I am your husband, you don't have to be shy of me. This wouldn't be the first time we have slept together," he said, his voice very low and seductive.Angela nodded with her lash lowered. He kissed again be
Bryce stared at the document and laughed. He didn't even take it from Jay's hand. Jay pulled up his phone and was about to call the police but five officers entered."No need to call, we are already here?" the officer leading the officers said."Good, this man here is trespassing on private property," Jay reported."This is how I know you are fake," Bryce said. "Let me tell you a story," he said."When I noticed something about the Davis family wasn't right, I started doing my private investigation. I realized you were onto me. I tasked some people to watch you and report everything you do to me. I knew you were going to attack my home so, I had this fake document prepared and left there for you to pick up. I spoke with someone at the office and told him that if anyone comes to authenticate this document, they should confirm it's legit. I made you believe I was focusing my energy on your mother and my uncle but I was watching you. When your mother was sent to prison, I knew you would
Within a few minutes, all channels on the TV were announcing the change of ownership for Diamond Corporation, now PEG Industries. Ivan after addressing the employees and informing them of what to expect, had his people go through the employee's contracts. He terminated all employees who were above 6 months old in the company. To him, they have worked with Bryce and will be loyal to him. When he was done, he only had three employees left. Zora who was just a week old and two employees who were just two months old in the company. "You are Zora," Ivan said staring at Zora who had been brought to his office, the office used by Bryce."I am going to let you stay and work, as," Ivan said and picked up Zora's contract. "As HR manager. You will help my boy here recruit new employees starting tomorrow," he said. "I will reduce your salary by 40% because of your relationship with Bryce. This is your punishment. I am only keeping you because you knew your place when my lawyer announced me," he
Ivan left the living room, holding the company document and smiling from ear to ear. He climbed the staircase to his bedroom floor and walked down the hallway toward the huge master bedroom door at the end of the hallway. Two guards stood on either side of the door. As he approached, they opened the door for him."Bryce, Bryce, by sunrise, you will lose everything. I am now the new owner of your company and also have the documents that make you the heir of the Moore family," Ivan said and smiled.When Matilda Davis brought Bryce to the Davis family and presented him as the new Don, Ivan was worried, because he thought he was being trained to become the new Don. When he asked his mother, she told him to focus on his training. He had someone run an investigation on Bryce. After finding out about who Bryce was, he started monitoring him. When he realized Bryce was onto his mother, he also made his men move. He wanted to be the one to bring Bryce to his knees, so he kept his findings to h
She sent her location via text to Elorm and got up from behind the study desk. She put the documents into her drawer and walked towards her closet. She went through her clothes and grabbed a sexy black small dress. She slipped into the dress. She stood in front of the mirror and was about to apply some makeup when she remembered Martin."What if he is back home now?" Zora thought. She quickly thought of an excuse to give and still go out of the house. With a convincing thought in mind, she packed her makeup tools into her bag and grabbed a long jacket. She quickly wore it over her sexy small dress. She put on her shoes and exited her bedroom. She locked the door and started walking towards Martin's bedroom door. She stood behind Martin's bedroom door and knocked. She had already planned on what to tell Martin as soon as he opened the door. She waited a while and there was no response. She knocked again and tried opening the door and realized it was locked. She turned around and wal
"Take the device off Zora's phone once this is over. I will be right back," Martin said to Bernard and exited the office after Bernard had acknowledged. Martin left Bernard's office but didn't go up to Bryce's office. He walked toward Zora's office and opened the door without knocking. As he had suspected, Zora was not in her office. He already knew she was looking for the company's document. He left the place and walked towards the elevator. As soon as the elevator door opened and he stepped inside, Elorm took a peek at the hallway. He heard the footsteps in the hallway and next was Zora's office door opening which was the office next to his. This is why he came out to see who it was once he heard the elevator door open. He caught sight of Martin's back before he entered the elevator."Hmm, if I want I can take Zora away from you and you will not stand a chance. I know her better than you but that is not my motive now. It's a shame, you will all go six feet under soon," Elorm though
Bernard was in his office when his monitoring device picked up Elorm's conversation. He recorded everything.The day went by normally, with everyone in the office going about their duties. Elorm appeared to be showing how committed he was to his new job, which left Zora confused about who he was and his intentions. She knew there was no evidence that Elorm indeed poisoned Angela, but one thing was clear: He lied about his health condition."Was it to get my attention and get back with me?" Zora thought while sitting behind her desk in her office.She recalled things that had happened since the day Elorm showed her his medical report and she thought he was dying. He had kissed her that day. He unexpectedly kissed her again during the company launch and at the hospital, he almost took things beyond a mere kiss, had she not had the will to stop him. He was going to take her right there on the couch with Angela lying on a bed in a coma in the same room with them. "He just wanted to win m
"He used you to harm Angela. I am going to use you to punish him," Bryce said and Zora raised her head to stare at him. "Now listen to me carefully. Tomorrow, you will go to the office and act normal. By normal I mean he must know that you know his correct health status. Onboard him and let him start work," he added and Zora expressed confusion."Is that all that I am supposed to do?" Zora asked staring at Bryce."Yes, give him the job, and don't change your attitude toward him," Bryce echoed, and Zora nodded. "I am done," he said and at that moment Angela woke up."Zora, you are here?" Angela said drawing everyone's attention in her direction. Zora smiled and walked up to her and stood by her bedside. She held Angela's hand in hers and smiled."I am glad you are awake. How are you?" Zora asked and Angela smiled.Bryce and Martin just stared at the two women chatting."Where is mummy and daddy?" Angela asked and Zora turned to look at Bryce and Martin."They travelled," Bryce quickly
"What are you talking about?" Zora tried to play smart."Who is he?" Martin questioned and showed the picture to Zora. Zora stared at the image of Elorm on Martin's screen and gulped. "It's not what you think. He didn't do anything. I was with Angela when he left." Zora tried to shield Elorm and Martin frowned."So why did you lie about it the first time?" Martin asked."He is my friend and he has cancer. He is dying. I didn't want you to add him to your list of suspects. He is a good man," Zora defended."Is he your ex?" Martin asked and Zora lowered her head."Yes," Zora replied in a low tone. "He broke up with me when he found out about his health. He didn't want to drag me into his problems," she added."So you want to go back to him?" Martin asked and Zora raised her head to stare at his face."No," Zora replied with a frown."So why were you kissing him? I saw you twice. Is it part of a healing process?" Martin asked feeling hurt about Zora meeting up with her ex."I didn't ki
Martin stared at her carefully. Zora's heart raced in her chest and Martin picked something staring into her eyes. She appeared to be hiding something."Zora, tell me the truth. I know someone came here. Don't lie to me," Martin said and Zora hardened her heart.She couldn't bring herself to give Elorm away. She was sure Elorm didn't do anything to Angela. If anything, she believed someone may have come in after Elorm left."I was alone with Angela. I left to use the washroom. When I came back, I didn't see anything amiss. I sat down and dosed off. I heard some beeping sound and opened my eyes. I was greeted with the scene of people surrounding Angela's bed," Zora narrated."How long were you in the washroom?" Martin asked."I am not sure but I was there for a while," Zora replied and Martin frowned."What were you doing in the washroom?" Martin asked trying to calculate how long Zora was in the washroom and the possibility of someone entering Angela's ward and exiting without her not
