"Well, that's the price I want to use and there is nothing you can do about it especially when you are the Ceo," He said and continued signing some documents. "Listen, Paul, we don't have many funds in the company, you taking two billion dollars from the company might render us broke in the future," I said. "Well that's not your own opinion to make after all you should know your position in this company," Paul said. I felt bad as he spoke because I remembered how we lived as kids before ego set in to differentiate us from each other. He, I and Diana was very close. I remembered how we played together in the backyard of our house as kids. We enjoyed every moment of it and never regretted any. Even if we fought, in about a second we will already be settling the matter ourselves before our Mom comes to settle it. Now things have changed. Paul had become so money and fame conscious that he always wanted the gold for himself. I was sure that he was glad

Where I stood, I see the expression of surprise change to that of indifference on my Dad's face. "That's a big lie," My Dad said. I wondered what magical concoction Lincoln gave to my Dad and why he was behaving in such a way. "What! Really?" My mom blurted out in surprise. "Dear, If this is who Lincoln is, a dangerous person, sorry but I cannot let my daughter get married to such a person," My mom said with defiance. I could see how she wanted to protect me and didn't want anything bad to happen to me. "Honey, are you o believe our daughter and the lie she is telling now," My Dad managed to say. I was stunned at his reply and wondered why he would think that I was lying. "I mean after everything that had happened, don't you think that she is trying to lie to innocent Lincoln to try and prove to us that he is not the man for her which isn't true," My Dad said. "Oh my gosh," I muttered. I was already about to lose it. I knew that this was the work

"You won't even believe what happened, I actually wanted to press charges and the police were claiming that my accusations were false and it was simply because an accusation from someone jealous of Lincoln's achievements and wants to bring down his name," I said as I sat next to him at the space on the bed. Lincoln held my hands tight in his. "This is, we need to be careful," He said. "I know there," I said. "As if that wasn't enough, I went to his office and he claimed that we didn't have enough evidence to be able to identify that it's the same man who marks for him that attacked you," I said. I knew this was the case and that Jake knew this too. "But Veronica it was dangerous going alone," Jake said. "Yes, I know, I had to beat up one of his men who tried to block me by kicking his balls," I said. Jake laughed and I laughed too. "It's funny right?" I said. "Ooh yes," Jake said. "The fool had no other choice but to allow his men to allow me to enter

"Honey, I can't believe this, so you would want to let him squander such an amount of money?" My mom inquired facing my Dad. "I trust that he is always making the right choice," My Dad said. "I know he is going to bring profit for the company because he is always obeying my instructions," My Dad said. "Alright then, I think I know what to do," My Mom said as she stormed into her master bedroom. That was how my Mm behaved when she was annoyed because her anger was always serious, so anytime she was angry she always rush to her room or any other place far from where she was annoyed. I remembered when we were teens growing up at our father's house, my Mom once slam a glass jug on the floor when the maid made her angry instead of beating the maid, to control herself. I and Jake went together in my Limousine and unlucky for both of us, Lincoln's men, who were asked to spy on me nearby to see if Jake would respect his wishes saw us together and we became deeply in tr

"So, you had to send men to remind me that you made our useless son decide for our company," My Mom said when she entered the lounge room. My Mom had lost it now and was very angry, it was almost expected that she would smash something soon. Our family maid, Hanna was already in a corner trying to clear whatever my Mm was going to break because she knew my Mom. "Dear, you have to calm down," My Dad advised. "No, I won't," My Mom said. "Now, Paul went and spent the money anyhow and you are telling me to calm down," My mom said as she picked up the glass that had a picture in the lounge room and smashed it on the floor rendering it to pieces. "Honey!" My Dad said but my Mom didn't answer him and went inside her room. "What the hell are you waiting for? Come and pack it," My Dad blurted out at Hannah who was scared to move an inch even after my Mom had gone into her master bedroom. Hannah rushed to pack the pieces of glass on the floor quickly.
