BEAUTY WITHIN : EPISODE 21 – 40

Episode 40

Alex smiled again and checked his watch. Just then Ben looked at his phone. Another notification came in. His eyes nearly removed this time as he looked at Alex with great fear now. What type of powerful man has Alex become?

“Why are you doing this!? What the f*ck do you want from me!?,” he yelled. He felt like he was gonna go crazy. Is this what they call karma?

“What else? I want revenge of course. You let my poor mother die!! Don’t think I did not find out that it was you! How could you have been so cruel? Mom didn’t have anything to do with what we were arguing about and you killed her!,” Alex shouted back.

His face displaying how angry he is. Ben couldn’t say anything. He thought he already asked those men to leave before anyone got there so how was Alex able to find out that he was the mastermind.

“Deal or no deal,” Alex asked coldly this time. Ben couldn’t help but shiver in fear. Now he had a pleading expression on his face. “Can’t you just let bygones be bygones? This company won’t be useful to you. You know nothing about business,” Ben said.

“You are not the one that will tell me what to do. Stop wasting my time. Deal or no deal. I don’t have much time left,” Alex said as he checked his wristwatch again.

Even if the company won’t be useful to him, it will be useful to his boss. And he really needs to settle this on time so he can report back to his boss.

“I want to read the contract terms and conditions first. I don’t just want to sign anything without reading the clause attached to it,” Ben said. Now he is helpless to do anything. Even his dad can’t save him now.

Alex gave him a file to read and as soon as Ben read it, he looked angry again. “What the hell!? You are such a ba$tard! You know the shares are worth more than what you are paying me!,” Ben shouted.

This guy might just anger him to death today. “Deal or no deal. Should I prepare another suprise for you?,” Alex asked and Ben hurriedly shook his head sideways.

He picked up a pen and quickly signed on the paper. Alex checked the file and said,“If I discover you gave me a fake signature. I won’t give you just one suprise. I will make sure to give you many that will lead to your death.”

“I swear that’s my real signature. Will you unfreeze my accounts now and take down the news?,” Ben asked anxiously.

“No.”

“What!? Why no? I signed the document as you instructed me to so why won’t you take down the news!?,” Ben asked as he removed his tie and discarded it. That stupid thing is almost choking him to death.

His subordinate just stood there stunned. The man couldn’t believe Ben just signed the document. He signed over the ownership of the company to a total stranger.

“What would you do if I say no? There is no where in this contract that talks about our personal deal. So I have the right to refuse,” Alex answered with a smile. Ben glared at him. This cunning ba$tard! How dare he?

“But I am not as conceited as you are. I will unfreeze your accounts and also take down the news. You are so disgusting Ben. You even participated in a s*x orgy,” Alex spat out. Ben looked down ashamed. He didn’t think anyone would find out.

His parents will just die once they see the news. The subordinate looked at his boss with a disgusted look. So the boss has this type of dirty secret. How can this type of person be fit to rule the company?

Alex typed something on his phone and immediately Ben received two notifications. He looked very relieved. “Now you are free to leave or do you want me to get my men to throw you out of my company?,” Alex asked.

Ben looked angry but he tried to hide it. “No need to make such a fuss. I will go myself,” Ben said. “Good. Pack up your things from the CEO’s office. You are officially dismissed,” Alex told him.

Ben nodded but as soon as he turned around, his face revealed a menacing look. He will make sure this ba$tard pay for this. Just before he could go out. He received another alert. The bastard paid all the money used to buy the shares.

First he has to find out what kind of man Alex is now? Then after that, he will make him pay. He should have just hidden away forever. Why did he come back after so many years?

As soon as Ben left, Alex couldn’t call Jasper cause Ben’s subordinate is still in the room so he sent a message instead. It says,’ Boss, it is done.’ He smirked. Finally he got his revenge like he always wanted to.

BEAUTY WITHIN : EPISODE 21 – 40

********

“Sister in-law, don’t stress yourself too much. Let them wear what they want to wear. We will wear what we want to wear,” Lena told Sharon who had a huge frown on her face.

She quickly pat Tia as soon as the baby stirred. Sharon saw this and stretched her hands out with great difficulty. It still hurts alot.

“Bring baby here,” she told Lena. But as soon as Lena took a step, someone protested,“No, don’t give the baby to her.”

Lena and Sharon turned to look at Jasper. Why is he stopping her from carrying honey? “You haven’t recovered yet and you want to carry her. Look at your hands. Are you blind that you can’t see the plaster on it?,” Jasper asked.

Sharon frowned. Even if he cares, does he have to say it so rudely. “Yes, I’m blind. Cut out your eyes and lend it to me. Isn’t that what husbands are supposed to do for their wives?,” Sharon asked with a mischievous smile.

Jimmy sighed and flicked his forehead. Then he shouted,“Dad, if you still want to change your mind about this wedding thing, I’m always here for you. Let’s run away together before she requests for your legs.”

Lena laughed trying to be quiet as possible. Sharon looked at Jimmy and frowned at the fact that she can’t leave this bed to teach him a lesson that will reset his small brain.

“His legs are not useful to me anyways,” Sharon stated and Jasper glared at her. Rude human being. Perhaps he should even reconsider his decision. “And Jimmy if you make me angry, I’ll make sure once we get married, your father will be the one cooking dinner for the rest of our lives,” she continued.

Jimmy gasped for air as he almost choked. “No! That is even worst than you two getting married. I’m too young to die now. I haven’t even given my first girlfriend a kss yet. Aunt, I give you all my blessings. Go ahead with the wedding, I have no objection,” Jimmy said. Everyone looked at him.

“Little brat! What kss? That is clearly not for your age?,” Jasper retorted.

“At least, I can’t impregnate her,” Jimmy said quietly that Jasper and Sharon didn’t hear him but Lena heard him. She reached over and slapped his head.

“You are still so young to know all this. When I was the same age as you are now, I thought pregnancy was all about eating a bag of rice and getting fat,” Lena told him.

“Aunt, that time world wasn’t civilized. We are the new generation. We need to be more advanced,” Jimmy said with a smug smile.

Jasper couldn’t close his mouth. Sharon looked at him and sneered,“Just be prepared to go to hell when you die. Cause heaven is not the place for you. You had only one job and you failed woefully at it. Look at what your son has become.”

Jasper glared at her,“Then we will go to hell together. Hubby and wifey must stick together. Never letting each other go.”

“That will only happen in your wildest dream. I know my father. He would have prepared a special place for his daughter in heaven,” Sharon told him.
