"I don't really know what the old woman wants this time around, always holding meaningless meetings. " Risa, the only wife of Ezekiel Ryan spoke. She was a 45-year-old woman with so much ego being the only daughter-in-law of the family. She was given much prestige that she never once failed to use in public. Risa was into modeling and was an ambassador for many brands. With her behavior and attitude, one would thinkshe was the queen of the empire. She twirled around in her black flawless gown. "I hope you know that the woman you are talking about is my mother. " Ezekiel countered as he puts on his grey pants. Risa rolled her eyes at his statement as she applied the gloss to her lips and rubbed them against each other to make it perfect. "What do you think she is going to say this timearound? " Risa asked her husband who had finished dressing and was waiting for her. "Maybe something about the estate she gave to Allen instead of our son. " Ezekiel gritted his teeth. Just the tho

Jane woke up the next morning into a world of boredom. She rubbed her eyes and stood up from her bed after yawning a little bit. She walked toward the bathroom and brushed her teeth before leaving her brother's room. "Hey." She greeted as she entered and closed the door. Bruno opened his eyes and turned to look at her. "How are you?" She asked and Bruno only nodded but it could be seen that he was recovering well and this gladdened Jane's heart. "It seems Doctor Drake is treating you well and within a month, I am sure that you will be able to walk and talk as well. Let me get your breakfast." Jane said but the empty plate beside Bruno revealed that he had eaten and she smiled. Even though she felt like she wasn't treated well by Allen, her brother experienced good treatment which she appreciated. She kissed his forehead before leaving his room.She walked downstairs towards the dining room where Steward Ben was standing, staring at the meal. He raised his head when he heard the sou

[P.S: I want to use this medium to appreciate those who left a few comments and power stones during the last chapter. If you were one of them then I need you to know that I so much appreciate your help and here is a chapter for you. I love you.]The pants of a tired man could be heard as he got wary of running in the dark but the spirit of fear didn't let him rest as he tried to increase his pace. Someone jumped in front of him from the dark and that made him fall abruptly. "Haaaa." He screamed with fear. "Ple...Please, spare my life. I have done no... nothing wrong." The man stammered with fright as he moved backward while sitting. The man in front of him looked scary but he couldn't see his face that well, the moonlight only helped him in seeing his body. "Tell that to the boss." The man received a strong punch that made him go unconscious immediately.The victim later identified as Francis opened his eyes and blinked them severally trying to remember where he was. The room he wa

In Stephen's company, the board of directors was inside the conference room having a thorough discussion about a project. "Mr. Ezekiel, we need to talk about the cons of this project as well." One of the men suggested. "There isn't any con anywhere. Once the delivery gets to the southern part, it's none of our business again. All we need to do is to make sure that the goods get delivered, simple!" Ezekiel replied with a stern look. "All right. " "I also want to chip this in as well, why don't we start investing more in agricultural products like your brother, Mr. Stephen?"Stephen's face grew dark because of this question and his knuckles cracked. "I... don't... have... to...do what my brother does to grow his business. "He replied coldly. "It was just a mere suggestion. " "Mr. Jerry, that's a toxic suggestion that can ruin lives, especially yours. " Jerry immediately kept quiet and no one spoke up again. "I am sorry for the rude behavior. It is just that I don't like when peo

Jane's face had turned pale on seeing Allen. Sheswallowed her saliva nervously and dropped the can. Charlotte on the other hand was starting to understand the ongoing situation. "Jane, that's the man I was talking about, the man who behaved rudely to me. " Charlotte turned to look at her friend who didn't say a word in return and traced her view. "Is the guy in the middle your husband, Allen? " She asked and Jane nodded. "OMG, he looks so handsome. But why haven't I seen him on the net? " Charlotte murmured. "Anyway, why do you look pale as if you just saw a ghost? He is a human being and also capable of feeling emotions, don't be scared. " Charlotte assured her.Although Jane had already planned out things very well, just the sight of Allen ruined her previous boldness. She could only anticipate what was going to happen next.Allen glanced at the woman in the garden, she wore dirty clothes and her hair was a mess which made her look cute. What was she up to this time around? He
