'Here ma'am. I am offering you a blank contract with my company. All you have to do is scribble in how long you want to work with us, and then sign it. It's already signed by me' Richard handed Susan the documents as soon as he confirmed that she was not going to yield to giving him the information he needed from her.She could not believe it. Her eyes shone in genuine shock, while she stared at the document in Richard's hand. Somehow, unknown to Susan, Richard forced the contract into her hand. Her kids peeped at Richard from behind her. He was so tall, like the skyscrapers that Michael had seen when they first arrived in the city. He was so commanding as well. The way he stood in front of their mom, towering above her like a mean and bad man, it was obvious to the kids that she was afraid of him because of his big mood.'Mummy, who is this man? Is he a good man or a bad man?' Judy asked in her usual innocent voice. He just made her mother smile and changed her scared disposition ver
'Yea right' Susan rolled her eyes and replied to her kids when she realized that they were teaming up against her. 'Both of you should miss me with the father drama. As if you don't know that you don't have a dad. I don't know where I kept him' she told them.'Huh?' Judy asked in surprise. She started to think of what her mother said. How was it possible that someone would not know where he or she kept another human being? Michael's eyes shone as well inquisitively.'Mom, did you throw him away under the bed? or behind the sofa?' Judy's little angelic voice rang, making Susan burst out laughing.'Mom. I heard that our dad is a superstar like those people in the movies' Michael whispered into his mom's ear. Susan broke out into laughter again.'And where did you hear that from?' she asked her son. Susan had not paid attention to that damn video of her kids flooding the internet. She was too busy sending her CV all over the companies she could lay her hands on, so she was busy with othe
Richard was surprised to see that Susan did not express any form of fear towards him when he stood in front of her, looking like the grim reaper. She made up her mind not to show any weakness, after all, he was the one that came searching for her to come back to work because she had already given up hope of working with his company.Under normal circumstances, Susan ought to be showing off her most gentle and pretty side, just like other women that had an encounter with Richard would have done. They would adjust their outfit and their makeup a thousand times before Richard came to speak with them. Some of them were even wild enough to make all sorts of body adjustments right in front of him. But not Susan. Her indifference was alarming. She had an exterior as cold as ice and as hard as iron as if she looked forward to nothing exciting in life. She was very placid. Richard was uncomfortable.Richard could not deny that Susan looked beautiful and elegant that morning. Unlike the first t
'What are you talking about?' Richard asked, and laughed at Susan.'You want to sue who? Not me. Most definitely' he scoffed, eyeing Susan contemptuously. The angered look on her face triggered him so much, he thought she would be an exciting person to tease.'Are you a tigress?' he asked her in an annoyingly calm tone. Richard started to harbor fancy sexual thoughts for Susan when the sudden splash of cold water smacked him back to the moment.'SPLASH' ice- cold water from a glass, Susan threw water against the almighty Richard Williams face. The disrespect was stinking.'You poured water on my face, madam' Richard spat drops of water out of his mouth while he said those words. His death row aura was even more beckoning on the grim reaper more than ever before. Everywhere suddenly turned gray in the entire office, even some bulbs started to flicker on and off as a result of Richards anger. He felt like strangling Susan at the spot, no one had ever accorded him that extreme disrespect
Susan was going to pass out. She started to reason if she did not prefer the so-called brother of this horrible man to be the father of the kids, than this man standing in front of her. This was the greatest horror of her life.'Are you sure of what you are saying? An elated Richard asked. 'This is a serious one' Richard told the person he was speaking with over the phone, but the person only confirmed that he or she was positive.'Okay then, send the result over to my email. Or however you will prefer to deliver it to me' Richard ordered, and then hung up. His eyes pierced through Susan's body as if he were the devil himself.Richard started to advance towards her, making Susan wish that there was a way she could find herself outside of that building before it was too late. This horrid man, it could not be true that he was the father of her kids. How and when? She shivered, the closer that Richard got to her, the more her spine started to fail her.'You heard what just happened?' Ric
Susan could have sworn that she was over her past. Five years was enough to make her feel numb about what tragedy happened to her, but Richard Williams had appeared out of the blue and was sticking a knife into an old wound, making it bleed all over again.If only Richard knew what was about to happen to him, he would have defended himself, because the sudden show of disrespect from Susan was alarming. Susan took the cheque from Richard, tore it to pieces, and then threw it back at him. As if her pouring ice water on him was not enough. Not in Richards life had a woman ever disregarded him like this. He could not believe what was happening to him in Susan's hands.'I'm not giving you my kids' she barked at him. Where she suddenly got the push to be rude again was unknown because just a couple of minutes ago, she had passed out of her mind.'You are going too far' Richard warned her, his eyes finally opened to a fine circle. For the first time since Susan met Richard, she was seeing hi
'I do not care about what you have to offer to me, or any criteria's I have to meet up to concerning my own children. I have brought them up for years. You think they look attractive? Well that's because I took care of them at the expense of depraving myself of everything I could have done for a better life. And now, you show up out of nowhere, trying to steal them?' Susan cried.Richard stared at her in astonishment. Other females, as soon as they realized that they were going to have his kids, would be full of joy, no matter how he treated them, yet this woman was acting as if she had been sentenced to death. He could not understand.'I am going to take care of those children, Susan. You won't have to worry about them as far as finances are concerned and what not. I will give them the best education and life that they likely have always dreamed of, because they are my kids at the end of the day. They must know deep down in their heart that they deserve better than you can afford to
The thought of having Richard Williams go to pay her kids a visit all by himself made Susan afraid to her bones. She had to run after him. As much as she hated what was going on between both of them, she was positive that her kids would resist Richard as soon as they saw him, more so if she expressed how much she hated him while they were there, then they would prove difficult and only make him tired of the chase.While he saw Susan running after him into the elevator that was already closing up, Richard put his big hand in between the doors to force them open again and allowed Susan inside. To her surprise. She fit her slender body through the small space that the elevator made, and in the next couple of seconds, she was standing beside Richard. The aura between both of them was cold and unassuming. Both were speechless at each other.Making their way through the vast office space, Richard Williams and Susan following behind him, made several heads turn. None of the Richards employee
