Chapter 71 – A threat
Nicholas POV
“Of course it’s with me brother” I turned to the door to see my stupid younger brother walking in majestically with a smirk on their face.
“What are you doing here?” I asked glaring at him as he came towards us.
“I came here as soon as I saw that she was already talking he said, gesturing at Fiona who was on the ground sobbing calmly
“Saw that she was already talking? What do you mean by that?” Monica asked Greg whose smirk only grew deeper.
“So she didn’t tell you,” Greg said, glancing a Fiona again.
“Tell us what?” Monica asked in confusion.
“Tell you that she installed a camera in your living room,” Greg said.
“What!” Monica and I exclaimed in shock.
“You told me to do it,” Fiona said, defending herself as she stared angrily at Greg.
“Fiona you did that? You installed a camera in my living room” Monica said, her voice trembling in shock.
“I’m sorry. I was only trying to save myself, my baby, and Anthony” Fiona explained and I felt like landing another slap on her face.
Fiona was damn lucky that she was a lady because if she wasn’t a lady, I would have punched her hard on her face.
“Don’t say my name with those lips of yours” Anthony warned, pissed already by everything he has heard.
“You should have said something. You should have told me about what was happening but you chose to keep it to yourself and handle things yourself” Monica said, her voice sharp but calm.
“I’m sorry. I thought I could handle it myself. I never knew Greg had other motives” Fiona explained, her voice trembling also.
“Hand the contract over to us Greg” I ordered but he just smirked
“Over my dead body Nicholas,” I frowned as I already knew that this wasn’t going to be something easy.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Greg had an important document that could put my position as the CEO to a halt.
“Please Greg, give it back to us. You stole it from us” Monica pleaded.
“Begging won’t work Monica. Nicholas would have to do more than that to get that contract back” Greg said, staring at Monica and his eyes roaming around her body.
“Take your eyes off her,” I said, my voice sharp as I stared daggers at him.
“She’s one beautiful woman Nicholas. Lucky you” Greg said as his eyes roamed around the living room and his gaze landed on the twins. “You’re always lucky Nicholas. You seem to always get the best out of life and I must say, I envy you”
“What do you want Greg? Spit it out. Surely there must be a reason why you took that contract file” I said.
Greg doesn’t take any action without wanting something in return. For Greg to have taken this contract, it only meant one thing which was he was interested in the company.
“You already know what I want Nicholas. Ice always wanted to be in the position you currently occupy and you know that” Greg said as he began walking towards the twins who were in their world giggling.
I quickly moved in front of him and placed my hands on his chest, stopping him from making any further moves “Where do you think you’re going” I asked.
“I’m going to say hi to my niece and nephew. Is that also a bad thing?” Greg asked innocently.
“Don’t come near my kids Greg” I ordered.
“Your kids?” Greg asked mockingly “They aren’t yours Nicholas. I think that is now very obvious” Greg said staring at Ethan whose eyes were staring at Monica affectionately.
“F**k you Greg,” I said angrily as I pushed him hard on his chest but he only smiled as stepped backward, with his both hands in the air in resignation
“I’m not here to fight with anyone Nichole but I want you to imagine something brother,” Greg said as he walked to stand behind Monica “Imagine how the directors would look when they realize that their CEO deceived them just so he could retain his position. I know everything now Nicholas and I’m not going to hand over those contracts until I get what I want”
“And what is it that you want?” Monica said as she turned around and stared at Greg.
“I think it’s obvious but I’m going to say it just got hearing sake. I want to be CEO of Sterling Group” Greg said with a serious expression as he removed his gaze from Monica and landed it on me.
I clenched my fist in anger as I watched his serious expression turn into a smirk “Never” I said, determined not to give my position to anyone.
“I give you two weeks Nicholas. Two weeks or I’ll forcefully take that position from you” Greg said as he began walking towards the door then suddenly paused “Don’t forget to remove the cameras I placed in your living room” Greg said with a mocking smile on his lips.
“This was all your fault. You trusted this b***h and now see what’s happening” I said angrily to Anthony, pointing my index finger at Fiona.
“Don’t you dare call her that Nicholas? I would never disrespect Monica like that in front of you. No matter what she is still carrying my unborn child” Anthony replied and I instantly knew I crossed a line.
Anthony would never disrespect Monica in front of me and I had no right to disrespect Fiona no matter what.
“I’m sorry about what I said” I apologized instantly and I saw his sharp eyes softening slightly. “Everything is just_”
“Complicated,” Monica said, helping me finish the sentence.
“So what’s going to happen now? What do we do?” Anthony asked sighing as he ran his hand through his hair in frustration.
The fact that everything was happening at once was exhausting. I never expected any of what just took place to happen today.
“First and foremost there’s no way I’m giving Greg my position so that is out of it,” I said, clearly stating my intentions.
“You guys seem to be forgetting that I’m still here,” Ethan said and I remembered that we still had a situation we were yet to handle. “I’m going to pretend that I didn’t hear or see anything here today but I need my kids and I need them now,” Ethan said, his voice confident and sharp.
