Chapter 23

Mrs Johnson POV
"How could bryan do that to my daughter? You do know my daughter has loved bryan for long and I was hoping he's gonna reciprocate it. But, he ended up hurting her badly."Mrs Benson said bitterly.
They both sat at the garden discussing and having a drink. Mrs Benson actually felt so hurt when her daughter narrated how bryan had poured so much insult on her just because she's madly inlove with him.
"I'm so sorry about that, dear. He might come around soon."I said hopefully. Though, not having full confidence about that. Bryan is so unpredictable.
"Did you just say he'd come around? Gosh, Fiona has been indoors crying; and refused eating all meals sent to her room."Mrs Benson scoffs. "Like seriously, if not for the fact that we've been friends for a long time, I wouldn't had taken this lightly with you. You gave her so much hope bryan was gonna reciprocate her love for him but, It was the other way round."Mrs Benson said pissed.
"What! Then what are we gonna do, now? We can't let her remain indoors without food or water.it's dangerous to her health. I know I caused this, I'll find a way to fix it my dear friend."Mrs Johnson assured.
"You have to think. I don't want anything happening to my baby girl."Mrs Benson signed heavily and took a sip from her juice. "You know she's all I have amd if something happens to her, i might have to kill myself."Mrs benson added strictly.
"I'd come see her later today." Mrs Johnson promised and she just shrugged and stared away. She was staring at the main gate side when she saw dave drove in.
"Isn't that your stepson, Dave?"Mrs Benson asked making mrs Johnson stare at the supposed direction.
"Yes that's him."I muttered frowning a little.
"What's he doing here?"Mrs Benson further asked.
"He's always lodging at all hotels and I don't know why he's here today or maybe he's out of cash. That might only be the reason dave came home."I frowned deeply as i watch him step out of his car walking towards the main door.
"Or do you think your husband called him? "Mrs Benson asked in deep thoughts.
I stared at her already feeling agitated. As I found Nothing but truth in her words.
"I need to find out! I'll call you later."I immediately stood up from my seat and rushed inside the living room to find no one there. I instantly knew they might be at his mini office. I took the stairs with my hands on the railing for support.
I tip toed to the door as I offed my heels and place my ears on the door eardropping on their conversation.
Mr Johnson POV
My son dave called to inform me last night about wanting to have a discussion with me. I'd to wait at home for his arrival.
"Good morning, Dad"He greeted as he took the seat In front of me which is across the table.
"Welcome, son. Lets discuss what brought you home. You know they've always found you at different hotels."I said connily and he just chuckled.
"Dad, I want to know about my inheritance. Look at me, I have nothing to boast of. Bryan has everything, his a dancer and all that. you haven't even build up something for me and I'm not happy about it."He frowned as he poured out his mind.
I chuckled loudly
"I didn't build up anything for Bryan, Dave. Bryan did all that on his own and I'd never supported him in being a dancer and that's because I want him to take over the company."I explained. Dave clenched his fist tightly on hearing the last statement but, didn't say a word.
"Bryan doesn't want the company because he's obsessed with his dancing career. Which is getting me really annoyed." Mr Johnson never knew how Dave felt as he kept going on and on.
"If he could get married and become a man, I would consider him taking over the company. If he doesn't, Then it's all yours." Dave gave out a sly conner smile on the last statement. That's what he's been dieng to hear and now, they've just becomed rivals because, he isn't planning on backing down anytime soon.
"I'm Not Gonna Chicken out dad. I'm taking over the company no Matter what."Dave assured his dad with a Wide smirk on his face.
Writer's POV
Mrs Johnson tip toed to her room feeling so agitated. How can her husband think of giving her son inheritance to his unserious son who knows nothing about the business. Gosh!
She picked up her phone and began dialing Bryan's number but, it rang endlessly without an answer.
She angrily throws the phone on the bed. pacing tho and fro as she thought on what to do.
She can't just seat with folded hands and watch her son Right been taken from him. Never!!
Mia POV
I stared at those dark eyes which I'd been instructed not to ever stare at. His manly hands around my waist made me feel so save for a second not until he let go of me and I fell flat on the hard floor Hurting my Back so badly at the process.
"Argh....." I streaked loudly as my whole body hurts from the fall l. what did he do that for? I thought he was tryna save me from falling? Damn him! This Guy is truly nothing but a demon. I need to Run away from him before he kills me.
"Do you really think I was tryna save your ass?"He ask as he let out a scoff.
"Be in the living room in the next 20minutes. I'm farmished and I need you to make me breakfast.Then, we can talk about last night case. because, I'm not gonna let it slide."He smirked and walked out in his usual slow intimidating steps.
Geez, this guy is really so heartless. ouch..... I moaned in pain.
