Chapter 4 – A huge mess
NICHOLAS POV
“How dare you” I asked, glaring at the blonde-haired lady whose hands were trembling by her side and looked stunned by what she just did.
“I’m sorry. I don’t know what came over me and I _”
“Get out of my presence and never show yourself to me again” I didn’t let her finish her sentence when I cut her short.
Tears began rushing down her cheeks as she stared at me in shock “Are you telling me to leave” her voice trembling slightly.
I didn’t reply to her but took instant action “Luke” I called out loudly as I sat on the empty seat meant for me.
” you called sir” Luke hurried into the VIP room, looking at me and the crying lady with me.
“Take this pigass out of my sight before I lose it,” I said, breathing rapidly to control myself from exploding.
“Please sir, I’m sorry. I didn’t intend to annoy you. I just lost control of myself and got angry” She went on her knees as she tried to reach out to me but I took several steps from her, glaring at her hands in disgust.
“Getting angry for telling the truth? Isn’t it true? You opened your filthy legs and now you’re looking for someone to take responsibility for the result of opening your legs” I stated furiously.
“But that’s not the truth. Yes I’m looking for someone to take responsibility for my child because I won’t be able to give my child the life it deserves but I never opened my for just anyone to_” she said but I cut her off again
“You know what, just get out,” I said, tired of her voice that kept pissing me off and I moved my gaze to Luke “Get her out of here now” I ordered and Luke instantly forced her to stand on her feet and ushered her out of the room. LATE IN THE NIGHT
“Sir, Mr. Greg is here to see you,” the maid rushed to me the moment she saw me stepping out of the car. I had just arrived home and couldn’t seem to forget the slap that the blonde lady gave me
“Tell him I’m not home” I instructed the housemaid coldly and she rushed out of my sight.
I stepped into the house and sniffed in the air that filled my nostrils. The aroma coming from the kitchen was the only thing calming my nerves.
“Brother brother dearest brother” My eyes snapped open as I heard the one voice I wasn’t really in the mood to hear. “Nice to see you again after our last heated argument”
“What do you want?” I asked coldly, displaying my anger for his sudden presence in my house and furrowing my eyebrows
“Hey bro chill,” he said “I just came to ask you how far you’ve gone in finding the bride who’s going to help you remain as CEO ” I looked at Greg and saw a smirk on his face.
“Are you trying to mock me?” I asked, my jaw clenched as I glared at my young brother whom I’ve never considered family.
“No, I’m not. I’m just here to ask if your search for a bride is going smoothly or if will I end up taking over your seat” Greg uttered, a broad mocking smile playing on his lips.
“Hear me very clearly. Dad wrote in his will that I take over his company and that seat will never belong to anyone except me” I walked closer to Greg and stared at him deep in the eye “I will look for a bride in two months and keep my seat in that company. You will never be the CEO of Sterlings Group. You will just be a side thing just like your mother” I uttered, not breaking eye contact.
I could see his clenched fist and I was happy that I wasn’t the only one who was going to leave this place pissed.
“My mother is not a side thing” I could hear the rage in his voice and I knew my words pierced his heart but I didn’t care. He suddenly smiled and looked at me “Well brother, I’m sorry to be the one to break this to you but the board of directors is no longer giving you two months but a month” Greg’s words made a frown appear on my face.
“What do you mean?” I asked, annoyed but just then my phone rang in my right hand, and looking at that caller’s ID, I saw Mr Karl appear on the screen.
Greg also saw the caller’s ID and smiled devilishly “Why don’t you find out from the call. See you in one month’s time brother” he said as he walked out of my house with his hands in his pocket.
“Hello Mr Karl”
“Nicholas I have something to tell you” I frowned when I heard his statement.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
“What is it” I asked, a part of my heart hoping what Greg said wasn’t true.
“You have only a month to get married or lose the company to_” I didn’t wait for Mr. Karl to finish speaking when I smashed the phone angrily on the floor and matched it with my shoes until it was unrecognizable.
“Luke, where is Luke?” I asked, turning around to find my bodyguards all standing and staring forward.
“He is outside, sir” Felix responded.
“Call him now” I ordered, my voice sounding commanding and urgent. Felix rushed outside and in no time, came back in with Luke behind him.
“Sir you called for_”
“Find her and bring her here,” I said, interrupting his speech.
“What? Who?” He asked confusingly.
“The blonde lady of today” his eyes popped as he stared at me in shock.
“But sir, it’s very late and I don’t think it’s going to be possible to find her tonight. I can’t even go back to the restaurant because I’m sure they’re closed by now” he complained.
“I don’t care. Find her and bring her to me” I ordered sternly.
