Chapter Four

Kelvin's POV

I discarded my coat and sat down, I heaved a frustrated sigh when I saw the files piled up in a corner of my table.

There had been a lot of work pressure since the last few days and topping that was the annoying embarrassment I had to face at the hands of that impudent cafe girl. I tighten my fists together as I remember a flashback of what happened in the cafe the previous day.

"I'm going to make her suffer for it.” I said with gritted teeth. No one had dared talk to me in that manner, I was having so much fun frustrating her life but she just had to shun me up with a sassy reply, that was the first time a lady would talk back at me they are always worshiping at my feet but she had the nerves to reply rudely.

I flipped through the report that was on my table and my anger accelerated.

"Mr. Mike!" I called out to my secretary angrily. He rushed into my office looking so scared, I wasn't the type to act this angry at him so he knew he had done something frustrating for me to have called his name in such a tone.

"Explain to me what all this is about!" I yelled at him and he flinched in fear, shaking profusely. I was known as a disciplined man and I fired my workers anyway at any glimpse of a mistake. Because of that, I was feared by my workers.

"S-i-r…" he stuttered trying to make a sensible sentence

"I asked you a damn question what the fuck is this?” I slammed the report angrily on the desk and glared at the Man who kept standing there stupidly, he had been working with me for some years now and that was the only reason I hadn't uttered the word "You are fired."

He picked up the report shakily and scanned through it trying to detect what might have been done wrong. When he saw what I was talking about he bowed his head pleading desperately for his job.

"I want that report completed before the end of today if not you know what that means.”

"I do understand, Sire!" he flinched at my hard tone.

"Yes Mr. Mike." Just then the door to my office opened revealing a rude-looking woman. Every step she took screamed luxuriance, she had a cocky smile on and she was putting on a black long-sleeve gown and wore a large whitish boa to compliment her dressing. She had heavy makeup on.

Her every step screamed power. She stopped in front of my P.A. giving him a look of disgust before facing me. She made herself comfortable on the chair opposite mine without my consent and I threw her a glare.

"What do you want?" I asked rudely, irritated by her presence and audacity.

"That isn't a better way to welcome somebody that you haven't seen for months." she replied with a stern look.

I shifted my gaze to my assistant who was still standing in front.

"Leave us." He grabbed hold of the file and scurried out of my office. I shifted my gaze back to the woman sitting right in front.

"What do you want?" Anger and annoyance were laced in my voice as I stared at the demi devil sitting opposite me.

"That is not a better way to talk to me Kelvin, I'm still your mother and I won't tolerate you talking that way to me!" She scolded me and I scoffed at her statement. I'm better off without a mother if only she knows how much I wish she is gone.

"What do you want? You can see I have things to tend to." I said rudely. She looked less concerned about what I was doing then she scoffed at what I said before placing a document on my table.

"What is it about?" I asked, looking confusedly at the file.

"You can just open it and see its content instead of asking me questions." she said sassily, I huffed a deep sigh trying so hard to control my anger it was of no use battling words with her since I knew I wouldn't win.

My eyes twitched as I mentally clawed at what the document might entail.

I picked the file up and furiously tore it open before bringing out the paper in it. I glanced through its contents and my eyes grew wide open as what was written in it started to register in my brain.

"What rubbish is this?" I asked angrily as I threw the file furiously on the table. My eyes are blurring with anger. Is this woman serious right now?

"You read that just right Kelvin. There was an agreement when I divorced your useless father. That is, you only have full access to his wealth when you get married. If you don't, all this fortune would be willed down to me; that means it will automatically be Adrian's own." she spills out, having a wicked grin on.

"ADRIAN!" I slammed my hands angrily on the table but that didn't make a flinch a bit, she had this satisfied look on.

"I walked away from her frustratingly pacing around the office trying to wrap my hands around this big revelation. “Why would my father make such a decision?" I ruffled my hair in frustration.

"You can just let it be if you think it too hard a task, I'm sure Adrian would take better care of the fortune than you would." or what do you think?” She said with a sly smile. And I could feel my blood burning in anger.

"No, that would never happen, I won't let that useless man you call a husband take over my father's wealth!" I said with seethed teeth, she quickly masked her angry face with a smile.

"Well I hope you can achieve that, you have just five months to settle down with somebody if not all the properties are mine." she revealed and I was taken aback.

"There is a deadline?” My voice came out icy and I broke into a humorless chuckle. I was amused by the news. Who gives his child property with so much condition and why is this woman just telling me after I had worked hard to make this company the top one, I wouldn't allow her to achieve her aim.

"Okay, fine." I said begrudgingly. She looked at me with a smirk, clearly amused by my response. I wasn't completely sure if it was the right decision, but I wasn't ready to lose everything I had worked so hard for.
