Creed I was scared that the shareholders won't go well, but it seems like the shareholders were aware of what was going on.I had calculated the whole situation and I knew my fate was on Allen's share. My wife came through for me. I stole a few glances at her during the missing, she had the habit of playing with something in her hand whenever she was lost in her thoughts.Her vote did boost my chances of being the CEO. She would be mad that I didn't tell her about the shareholders meeting.I opened the door to my father’s office and a slap fell on my face. I staggered towards the door. My father’s hand on my cheek was not a new thing. It had been a while since he slapped me, my body wasn’t used to it.“Who gave you the right to call a meeting without my permission?” He barked at me.“Father, I want you to keep it in mind that I am not Reign while you are asking me questions and you can’t slap a grown ass man like me and not expect me to retaliate.” I replied to him coldly. “The answ
Athena“Hello, Is this Mrs. King speaking?” A voice said to me as I picked up the call and opened the door with Ava in my arms. “Yes, how may I help you?” I put Ava in her baby chair. I pulled my bag from my arm. Shit! I didn’t take Ava’s bag from the car.“Your husband has just been admitted to a hospital, he got involved in a car accident. The situation is so brutal.”I stopped breathing on hearing her last statement. Creed got into an accident? How?“Hello, hello, Mrs. King.” The voice said into the phone repeatedly.I jolted back to life. “Are you there? I will send you the hospital’s address through a text.” She said before hanging up. My parents had traveled out of town two months ago, Ava came home and Either I or her dad took her to work with us. She had started saying some words, she said papa first as I expected.Things were working out between me and Creed well, we started our relationship on a new note. I carried Ava from her sitter and ran back to my Ashton martin. Aft
Creed "Mr King, your car brakes have been tampered with," Luke said as he walked into my office, "By who?" "The camera footage has been wiped, I saw dirt on your car and I decided to give it a wipe so I unlocked the door of the car then I saw the car brake in a broken state." "Reign." I said to myself as I squeezed the paper I was holding. "I suspect your brother too, sir. I don't think we should let this slide this time sir or else they Will keep doing these terrible things to you and your family." Luke suggested "You are right!" I stroked my chin. "Do you have a plan sir?" He sat down on the chair opposite my desk. I looked at him, "Yes, fix the brakes, we will feign an accident to see their reaction. I want to know what they want to do." "Are you going to inform your wife? You don't want her complaining that you hide things from her." "I will but there is no time to inform her about this and I have a feeling that my calls are being monitored because Reign mentioned the
AthenaI returned to the hospital after taking a quick shower at Jethro’s place. I went back to feed Ava at midnight. Aubrey made me rest up instead of coming straight back to the hospital.My bestfriend her husband had taken Ava to the store and got some baby food and clothes fpr her. Aubrey get talking about how cooperative Ava was. Ava acted like she knew what was going on. She didn’t cry for food nor call papa.I woke up, cleaned for Ava and wore fresh clothes then I went to the hospital.Matilda walked out Creed’s ward angrily, her expression changed to a scornful one when she sighted me. “You look happy for someone that her husband got into an accident.”I ignored her and I opened the door and she pulled me back.“I know your schemes, now that your husband is sick you want to also take over our company. That would be in your wildest dreams. It would never happened.|”“You are anxious, Matilda. I am happy my husband is not dead and he will wake up, you should wish for his safety
Athena. “He was fine when I came here last night. Why does he need a blood transfusion?” I held the doctor’s coat, he released my grip from his coat carefully. “Mrs King, please contact his immediate family members immediately so they can donate blood, I shall source for blood donors just in case. This is urgent, he needs the blood within forty-eight hours.” The doctor bowed politely. Then he left me standing. I picked up my phone. I dialed Jethro’s number, he picked up on the third ring. "Jethro, Creed." I breathe into the phone, I heard Ava's mumble some baby words. "Athena, what's up? You sound tired." "Creed passed out, the doctor says he needs a blood donor." "Have you called his family?" "Not yet." I sniffed. "Call them, I will join you soon, you can't handle that all alone." He hung up right after. I called Mr King next, "Creed has gotten worse, he needs a blood donor," I tried not to make it obvious that I was so scared. The line went silent like he was trying to d
Athena“Our blood didn’t match.” Jethro said to me and he signed in disappointment.I got up and leaned over to cover Creed well. “I hope things go well. I called Reign.”‘What did he say? Did he agree?”“Yes, he did. He will be here soon. Their blood will match, won’t it?”“It would. They are brothers. I know little about all this. I guess I should not have focused on business alone in college.” He let out a dry and insincere laugh. I saw worry in his eyes, too. He wasn't happy that his blood didn’t match.“Let’s cheer up, Athena. You should go home because of Ava. I will wait here with Creed.”“I will leave after Reign shows up.” I sat back in my chair and laid my head on the bed. “Athena,” A hand tapped me. “Reign is here.”I raised my head up, and I saw Reign standing opposite me. He looked so different from Creed; the difference was too wild.“Oops, my sister-in-law looks like shit. You must love your dear husband to be in distress for me. Now I regret we weren't married instead
CreedI opened my eyes and numbness set into my body. I could not feel my arms, my legs, my head, and every other part of my body.I was feeling my head; it was lighter than it used to be, at least that was what I felt at the moment. Pangs of headache seeped in and out of my head.“Argh,” I groaned out in pain and I heard my wife’s voice faintly.I closed my eyes.“Creed! Creed! Papa!” Her voice was clearer now, my eyes flung open. I waited for her to hug me, but she ran out inside.I looked around me and I saw drips connected to my body. I slept right after my stepmom left the ward. That was the last thing I remember. I knew I was struggling to keep up with their conversation, but I slept right after she left.The head doctor of the hospital came in with Athena by his side. She could have just clicked on a button here to alert them.“Mr Wells.” I smiled at the doctor, but he wasn’t smiling back.“How are you feeling, Mr. King?” He placed his stethoscope on my chest and my stomach.“I
Creed“Papa,” Ava mumbled, hitting me on my head. “Ava, it’s too early for this.” I lifted my eight months old daughter up and kissed her head. “Where is your mum?” I asked as if she was going to answer.I heard the tap running from the bathroom. “I see your mum is taking her bath, should we go and make some food?” I threw her up in the air and she giggled heartily. The tap stopped running and I heard Athena dip herself into the bathtub filled with water.“You are going to be a great cook like me, I will teach you all about cooking so you won’t be like your mom.” I said loud enough for Athena to hear.“I heard that Papa.” Athena yelled from the bathroom. “You ate my food without complaining to me for two months.”“You made it with love, baby, I had to eat it.” I chuckled.“I don't want to hear you, please speak to your daughter alone,” She yelled again and I could picture her pouting in my head.I smiled to myself. I went downstairs with Ava, I had taken a break from the office and I
