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

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

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

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

Peter Crawford had very deep ties to the Garrett Family.He had a role to play in the expulsion of Zach’s father from the Garrett Family and even his subsequent death.A slow burning rage began to build within Zach.Peter Crawford was a dead man walking. 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.
