"I can see you're insane. It hasn't occurred to you after two weeks that Amelia's mother might have been searching everywhere for you. So you want to present yourself to Amelia and her mother on a platter of gold, is that it? has your situation made you stupid?!"Anamika wasn't listening, she was furious. She had the urge to tear Amelia apart. She believed that, if not for them, her brother wouldn't have died. If not for them, she wouldn't have had to give her virginity to her brother's murderer. If not for them, her beautiful fingers wouldn't have been burnt so badly.Anamika gritted her teeth with unrestrained fury. The hostility that was oozing out of her surprised Emma to the extent she froze for a while.When her mind snapped, she pulled Anamika and forced her to turn her back to Amelia, just in time before Amelia looked their way.Amelia narrowed her eyes at the two backs she was seeing. One of them looked like Anamika but she shook her head. The people her mother sent out to l
Boss and his brother, Cullen had been at each other's throats for the longest of time and now, Boss accidentally deflowered Cullen's fiance. What war is greater than this? The man picked up a tumbler of drink on the table and the corner of his lips curled up slightly. "Was she?" He asked. Roy looked at his master. From how relaxed his attitude is, he knew his Boss was up to no good. "Boss, you already had things planned out, blatantly provoking Cullen by stealing his woman will disrupt your plans," Roy warned before lowering his head again. "Who says?" The Man asked before downing his glass of drink and standing up. "The bee has been buzzing around me for a long time... It's time to pluck a feather from it." He said before walking out. Roy sighed and shook his head. He couldn't blame Master Asher for waking up from his slumber. Asher only came back to Nairaland because of his father, but instead of quietly letting Asher deal with the man and leave, Cullen got in the way and starte
A knock sounded before the door was pushed open and then a young lady in a black skirt, wearing a nude shirt and black heels walked in, carrying a notepad and folder. "Ma'am, here is the list sent to us from Nairaland, of candidates who are vying to be the face of our beauty product in Nairaland.""Have you filtered through the candidates?" "Yes, they are majorly A–listers, but with two C–listers this time."Ms. Mika raised a brow, "C–listers?" "Yes, ma'am. Although we've always used A–list Celebrities for our products, the C– listers that were selected this time are extremely pretty. They have the perfect skin for our product, the type you've been looking for." The Assistant smiled."Oh, then I'd like to take a look." Ms. Mika took the folder from her Assistant and skimmed through them. The C–list Artists were indeed pretty, but there's more to being the ambassador of her company than just being pretty. Mika put aside the prettiest among the two and continued flipping through the
"M–" "Let me speak!" Mika thundered. " As my personal Assistant for two years, you should have known better. I'm stripping you of your position. Choose between being an observant and dropping your resignation letter." Mika went back to what she was doing. Mika didn't want to directly fire her for a reason. Even though this Assistant had long been on her blacklist, she restrained herself from biting the finger that fed her. But not anymore, Ivy has no redeeming qualities.Ivy stood there in utter shock. Being an observant is almost the same as being an Intern, but an Intern is better because they are allowed to work. But observants can't do anything but just watch others work. Does that not mean that her boss wants to get rid of her? Or wants her to start afresh? What greater insult is there other than this? How can a PA to the CEO become an observant?! Not considering the salary reduction, her status, and respect would be thrown to the dogs. "This is not fair, Mika! I've–""I gave
Amelia barged into a dimmed bedroom, looking sad and pitiful. “Asher,” she looked around the room but no one was in. “Asher?” She dropped her handbag on the bed and walked into the bathroom, still, there was no one. She walked back to the bed, got in and curled herself under the sheets, sniffing and crying. … In Nairaland… Asher Could be seen entering a hotel with Roy and a cold–faced guy. “Boss, Miss Amelia used your name again to get into A&M.” Roy reported. “How many companies are participating in the auction?” Asher asked, ignoring what Roy said about Amelia like he didn’t hear it. “Ah, 15 companies,” Roy replied. “Who is our strongest competitor?” “A&M Conglomerates and Walkers group,” Roy answered. “Mn.” “Boss, I’ve been thinking, why did you allow Cullen to become the acting president of Walkers’ group? I thought you–“ “No matter who wins, it mustn’t be the Walkers group, do I make myself clear?” Asher said with a hardened voice. Ignoring Roy’s question again. “Y
A week later… At Nairaland’s airport… A man and two dashing kids of around four to five years old got out of the plane. The boy was wearing a two-piece black and red joggers and jacket. His long hair was framed to one side of his face, covering one eye. On his left wrist was a red watch, while his right hand held a camera. At intervals, he took pictures of views he loved. Beside him was a cute girl of the same age, wearing a white top and black jacket on a black and white mid-thigh pleated skirt. Her knee-length black boot looked overly cute on her. On one shoulder was a small sized pink backpack. She wore a black watch on her left hand, while holding brown shades in her right hand. “Nairaland’s airport is not as bad as I thought,” the boy said as he took a picture. “Indeed, I told you, you’ll like this place,” the handsome man smiled. “I don’t think so, I smell bad energy.” The cute little girl with hair packed in two ponytails said curtly. “Has there ever been a thing that i
"Come out here," Asher ordered. "Why should I?" Hearing that cute but mischievous voice, Asher's heart softened. "Why were you taking pictures of me? Come out with your camera.""Ha, you're so smart and handsome. Any wonder why I'm interested in taking pictures of you?" The child didn't deny it like he expected, causing Asher to raise a brow. The child is brave. He rested his back on the door to another cubicle and folded his hand on his chest, "What right do you have to do that?" he asked."I'm not sure about rights but I know that pretty things should be photographed, so don't blame me. Instead, you should be honored that I'm interested in taking pictures of you. Aside from those I love, I don't take photos of humans."Asher smiled but before he could speak further, the entrance door was pushed open and Aiden's guards barged in, surrounding the place."Young Master, are you alright?” one of the guards asked, almost panicking.“Obviously,” Aiden responded, looking weirdly at th
Inside the event hall of the hotel, with lots of seats filled with people, both from the entertainment industry, the business world and even the dark world, Asher Walkers, walked to the last table and sat together with CEO Mika who also has a thing for back seats. CEO Mika, who was wearing dark shades and sitting quietly, ignored the person who just took the same table as her. She didn't find it relevant to look at him. Her eyes were busy scanning through the crowd to see if she would spot Ash, the underworld lord. Asher on the other hand, only gave CEO Mika a fleeting glance before focusing on the stage. Sitting among those at the front tables were Mrs. Wales and Cullen Walkers.After a few more minutes, the hostess walked onto the stage and greeted everyone, introduced herself, and the purpose they were gathered. "There are a few outstanding items to be sold here today. From the legendary Princess Xinyan's jewelry to DD group of companies. The first item on our list is…" Neither
