Samantha's heart clenched with fear as she sat down beside Daisy. She clenched her hand into a tight fist clearly showing her nervousness. She couldn't afford to lose.she scolded herself for acting too rash. Why?? Sammie she wasn't worth it.
"Aunty...."
Daisy turned to look at her, her eyes clearly showing displeasure over her actions at the lobby but it didn't last long before it vanished as if it weren't there.
" I have no right over my son's decisions. If he likes you then so be it but if he doesn't" she exhaled deeply " then I just have to respect his choice"
Daisy said before she looked away sighing. Her son's happiness was her priority. she wasn't going to force him to end up with someone he didn't love and end up living in guilt for the rest of her life. Never. Even though she was scared that if he didn't get married soon his birthright will be passed over to his cousin she couldn't bear to see him end up in an unhappy marriage cause of her.
"Ok aunty I totally understand."
"Where to Madame Grafton?".
Yes. She had to focus on pleasing Regaleon not his mother. She laughed inwardly. Yes,how could she had possibly forget. Sammie you're going to be great. She relaxed herself and consoled herself with the the fantasy she created in her head about being the young mistress of the Grafton family. How satisfying.
★★★★
The Grafton corporation
Regaleon sat down on his black swivel chair behind the huge oak table. His eyes focused on the the screen of his laptop,he kept on replaying the videos of him responsible for the scandal.
How on earth would I possibly be gay??. Why?. Who ever made this video was his rival and it really targeted him. The videos looked really realistic. His mind drifted back to his mother's word about his inheritance. He became determined to kill two birds with one stone. He sighed deeply then pressed the intercom.
"Davis in my office now"
In less than a minute Davis appeared in his office." Young Master you summoned me"
He just nodded his head slightly as he picked up a pen from the table and began to look at it." Did you find anything??"
"No..... I couldn't"
"Prepare the car"
"Where to if I may ask"
" We're going to pay a visit to one of my debtors" Regaleon said as a sly smile played on his face. Davis felt the hairs on his body stand,he had been working with him for a long time and each time they paid a visit to one of his debtors it didn't always end well for them. He couldn't help but wonder who the person was. What a pity.
As if he read his mind,he suddenly spoke "we're going to the Yates house"
The Yates. They are surely cooked. If the can't provide the money,Regaleon was going take something worth it. It's either his life or that of his family. Oh boy. This is terrible
"Move it Davis. I don't have all day."
"Ye.... Yes sir." He stuttered before leaving the office. Immediately he walked out,Regaleon stood up and straighten his suit before walking out to the elevator which took him to the underground parking lot where Davis was waiting for him and the black Bentley car.
"Good afternoon Mr Grafton."
The driver greeted as they sat in the car but got no response from him." Drive". Regaleon said in a low tune almost sounding like a groan.
The driver just nodded as he drove, Davis told him to location they were headed to and within forty-five minutes they arrived at the Yates mansion. The massive gates opened, letting them in.
The maid working in the house noticed the car which drove in rushed in the house.
"Mr Greg. Mr...." She said in a panicked tone.
" What is it Linda?." Greg asked as he walked down the stairs
But before she could say a word Regaleon bursted into the house with Davis behind him. His long powerful legs stroded through the hallway to the stairs.
"Well. Well. Well. Long time no see Mr Yates. What happened to you?. You just vanished like that?."
Regaleon said as he approached Greg flashing his perfect dentition.
"Mr... Mr Grafton. Ehm." Greg coughed awkwardly, trying to regain his composure." Pardon my manners. Please have a seat."
" I'm not here for chit chats. I'm here for my Money. You owe me and I'm here to retrieve it."
Blood drained from Greg's face immediately he heard Regaleon's words.
His debts.
Oh no.
Seeing Greg's reactions, Regaleon frowned." What??. You don't want to pay me my money??." Regaleon asked
"No. No. No. No. It's not like that. You see. Uhm. Actually....."
" Speak up!!!" Regaleon barked slamming his hand on the table. "Perhaps you've got a death wish"
"I.... I don't have the money right now...but..but maybe later..."
Hahahhaha!!!!. Regaleon laughed sarcastically.
"You don't have any money. Well too bad, I'm not leaving until I get back my money. Until you've got something worth that amount."
Panic filled Greg's eyes as he looked around" maybe you can take my house. It should be enough to clear half of the debt"
Selling the house is the best option right. Me and the girls can stay with mom and dad for a while before I get a more suitable apartment for us.
"Half??. I didn't lend you the money in half so why should I take half payment. Tell me why??."
" I really don't have anything to pay.....
"It's been five years since you took a debt from me. And you claim not to have it. You're a joke."
*BANG*
The main doors opened as three women walked in. An elderly woman dressed up expensively, a young lady also dressed expensively and and girl carrying tons of shopping bags and dressed plainly.
Lisa!!.
Regaleon spaced out for a while. The world stopped spinning
