Now, it was only CEO Mika and Cullen Walkers that were remaining in the race. But that didn't make Cullen feel relaxed at all. He knew that the Underworld Lord, Ash, was somewhere and hadn't said a thing. Also, Asher seems to be here for the company too, Cullen has no plans on giving up. Unbeknownst to him, he'd be kicked out soon enough. "$31,000,000!" Cullen yelled."$35,000,000!" CEO Mika raised her placard. The big shots finally decided to join. "$50,000,000" "$55,000,000!""$56,000,000!""$60,000,000!""$100,000,000!" Cullen yelled. "$500,000,000!" Mika shot the bid high.Everyone paused and looked behind them, it was CEO Mika again. They sighed, such a rich woman. A lot of bidders withdrew, leaving three people. "$600,000,000!""$800,000,000!" Cullen raised his placard. "$1,000,000,000!" The new businessman yelled. Everyone stayed silent for a long time before CEO Mika proclaimed; "$12,000,000,000!"Cullen wanted to bid but stopped and looked at CEO Mika. He balled his
Meanwhile, in a corner, Cullen had been spying on the two bigshots at the parking lots. Seeing that CEO Mika had left without wasting time, his lips curled into a smirk. "Robert, secure an appointment with CEO Mika for me," he commanded."Yes, sir!" His Assistant immediately got to work. Asher, on the other hand, got into his car to leave but paused and looked in Cullen's direction. Their eyes met but Asher broke the contact first and got in his car. "Boss, her report has been sent." Roy, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, handed his boss the iPad he was holding. Going through CEO Mika's background check, Asher's lips curled into a faint smile. "This is not all there is," He gave the iPad back to him. "I thought so too. This report didn't talk about her childhood and everything before five years ago." "She's capable. Milo," Asher called. "Boss," the quiet guy who also goes everywhere with them, replied with his hand on the steering. "Visit the Empire, find out everyt
CEO Mika leaned forward, "Are you threatening me, Mr. Cullen Walkers?" "Pfft...Not at all… of course, not," he chuckled. "It doesn't seem like it, the ball is in your court, do what you deem fit but if you think I'll be scared, you're mistaken. I'm not interested in dealing with your company." She got up to leave but Cullen also bolted to his feet and smiled, "CEO Mika, you're taking things too seriously." He stretched his hand but CEO Mika stepped back and smiled. "Mr. Walkers, is this meeting personal?" Cullen also smiled faintly, "Actually… Yes. I–""Have a nice day," Mika didn't wait another moment and left. After she left, someone walked in with a camera."Boss," he handed the camera to Cullen. Glancing at the photos that were taken of him and CEO Mika, Cullen smiled. "You like her, don't you? I'll make sure you never get your hands on her." He said to no one. ...The next day, pictures of CEO Mika and Cullen, smiling over a meal surfaced in the business magazines with anno
Asher curled his lips, "You made me go to the Empire and seek Ash's help, just to find you. Do you dare to deny it again?"Anamika paused, She knew she couldn't deny it anymore. The underworld is a place ruled by a mysterious person named Ash. Whatever he wants to find, he can lay his hands on it, even though it is something that happened decades ago. His information is legit and cannot be doubted, He's so good that even the government goes to him sometimes for help. With a person like that in the picture, Anamika couldn't invade Asher's inquiries anymore. "So, now that you know, what do you intend to do about it?" She raised a brow in a challenging manner. Asher leaned forward and said in a lowered voice, "You were my first–""What of it?" "I deflowered you," he smiled provocatively. "You are mine," he said slowly. Silence reigned in the elegant office for a long while before Anamika chuckled, then burst into a pile of degrading laughter. "You're a demented being and need help
At Nairaland's airport… Emma and the kids could be seen, standing by the entrance with a placard that had 'Welcome Mummy' boldly written on it. Aiden, like always, had his digital camera as he took pictures. Nadia on the other hand, had a large pink teddy bear held to her chest as she waited quietly by their godmother's side. "Godmother, isn't it time to raise the signal? People are coming out," Aiden said. "We wait a little longer. If your mother sees the sign from afar, you won't be able to take a fabulous photo of her shocked face," Emma smiled. "That's right! Wooo!" The child exclaimed happily. Nadia on the other hand, rolled her eyes but continued to mind her business. A few minutes later, Anamika, her Assistant, and a few guards were seen walking over in large strides. Nadia smiled when she saw her mother, "Mummy," she said under her breath. Seeing the excitement on his sister's face, Aiden looked forward. He knew that the few reasons his sister could be so happy was whe
Nadia and her brother's eyes met for a moment before he asked;"How sure are you?" "Who said I'm sure? But we can find out," she said while walking to her bed to grab her laptop. Aiden left his table and went to her, "Don't tell me you want to defy Mom again." He frowned. "She told me not to handle her business anymore, she didn't say I can't exercise what I was taught of hacking," she replied, a little annoyed. Nadia is a gifted child. Before she was two years old, she was already able to speak fluently and do things beyond her age. Anamika was frightened and took her to the hospital. There, the doctor told her Nadia was very healthy but with an overwhelming IQ which would leave her lacking in social activities. Around three years, Nadia was already an expert in puzzles and calculations. Her photogenic memory, sharp senses, and her love for reading made Anamika seek professional help. At four years plus, Nadia was already helping her mother sort out her work and play with hacki
Anamika remembered something and said, "Right," they disengaged. "I saw him..." "Saw who?" Emma asked."The stranger from five years ago..." Seeing the scowl on Emma's face, she continued, "He is Asher Walkers!"Emma choked on her saliva. "Wha– what are you talking about? What do you mean?!" It was simply unbelievable!"Asher Walkers was the man... My children's father!"Emma's lips fell apart for a while before she replied, "Wow," nothing else came out of her vocal cord. Never in a million years would she believe that her best friend's nightmare was Asher, the bane of the Walkers' family!"Wait, I– I don't understand. How did this happen?!""Bet I was used by Amelia and Asher?" she thought out loud."How so?""I can't find a better explanation after coming up with a few and piecing them together."Amelia was Cullen's fiance at the time. Then she told me to go to room 101, which I went into, but the numbers suddenly changed after I came out the next day. At the same time, I saw Ameli
Ah, so they are investigating me, interesting! Asher thought."Yes, he truly found us!" Aiden said, a little panicking. He has seen what that man is capable of doing. He even invaded his phone!Nadia took her laptop and saw a text written in red.'Did I scare Aiden? Sorry, I didn't mean to...'Nadia shifted her gaze to the webcam and a rare smile caressed her lips. "Are you a hacker?" she asked.'I'm just so and so, not very good.' came another text."My hacking skill is still inefficient. My master is dead and I haven't found another master yet, why don't you teach me the little you know?"Aiden was shocked for a while but after realizing the hacker doesn't have bad intentions, he relaxed. But when he heared his sister's words, he facepalmed.He forgot for a moment that his sister, although an introvert, loves talented people because she feels they are the only ones who can hold a decent conversation that wouldn't bore her out.'Of course... But your mom won't allow it.'"True... But
