A bet that failed

Ace was able to find another home school teacher. When she got there, He made her sign a contract. At first, The teacher refused to accept the condition Ace has put up. But she later agreed, when he threatened to kill her only Son.

" I know everything about you Grace, Your husband is dead. Your son has Autism, I know where you live! and what you do! You will abide by my rules!

" Please leave my son out of this! Have agreed to everything you said! I just signed the contract!

" You will be with my daughter on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays! Don't you dare think of quitting! unless you want to see your son dead!

" No sir! she lowered her eyes full of tears. I will do anything you want to do.

" Leave now! one of my men will watch every move you make! he sipped the last content in the glass, then placed the glass on the table. A weird smile appeared on his face as he watched Grace Leave the mansion.

" Ace! Sylvia called. Ace stood up and turned to Sylvia. We need to talk! You didn't have to threaten her!

" I have money Sylvia! I have the power! Money can buy anyone and anything! he chuckled.

" That's not what I meant Son! you know exactly what...

" Sylvia please Don't spoil my mood! he interrupted. Just don't!

" Settle down Ace! for the sake of your daughter! Can't you see how calm and Happy she become when you are here! It's been four years now since Camilla died! You barely visit Angel! you don't spend time with your daughter anymore!

" No one can replace Camilla! I will never love again Sylvia! Neither will I settle down with any woman! As for Angel! she's safe here! I can't take care of Angel you know that!

"you aren't getting any younger!

" am 32 Sylvia!

" that's the more reason you need to settle Son!

" No! this conversation is over!

" I heard you have a new Secretary now! Let's place a bet! If she quit the Job, you settle down! if she doesn't, you do whatever you want. Ace took his gaze back to Sylvia, He wasn't sure whether that was a bet or a command. It sounded more like a command than a bet.

" what! where is that coming from?

" I know she will quit! like every other secretary you had and other employees.. Like father like daughter, Sylvia said with a giggle. Deal?

" No! can you stop that! Ace walked outside, Sylvia followed.

" Look i have a friend, Her daughter just came back from Los Angeles. She's a doctor, so beautiful, you will like her. I can introduce her to you.

" No! so you think I can't keep my employees! Fine then, but I will never settle down or fall in love with anyone! I still love Camilla. As for Angel! I will never let anything or anyone harm my daughter! I would kill anyone just for her! Anyone who hurts Angel, has to deal with me! he said and turned to his driver who opened the door to his car.

Maya was still sleeping, she completely forgot about her New Job. She turned over in her bed. Cosy, warm, lovely and comfortable. She opened her eyes, but she felt falling back in to her sleep. She opened her eyes again to check the time, It was 8am in the morning. Maya quickly jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom.

Ace arrived, he went straight in his office, But the board members were already in the meeting room waiting for him.

" Jordan! Jordan's face became pale. Where is the secretary!

" Sir i.i.i really don't know what happened, she's not here sir.

" She's fired! Find another secretary! Now! he said then left his office. Jordan sighs, he didn't know where to find another secretary in 24hours.

When he walked into the Meeting hall, They all stood up.

" This meeting better be Good! all I want to hear is that the sales have gone higher! new customers! new ideas! I pay all of you not to just sit in comfortable chairs and Do nonsense! I can fire all of you! As for you Mr Smith! I can find other investors!

" Please sir, you will be impressed right after this meeting, Olivia said. Ace sat down, Two of his men walked out of the room and stood by the door.

" Olivia let's begin, One of management spoke. Before Olivia could begin, Maya walked into the meeting Hall. All eyes went on her, Maya forced a smile on her face. There was a glow in Jordan's eyes, he quickly stood up and offered a seat to Maya.

" Jordan!

" Sir!

"didn't i say you find another secretary! Jordan went mute.

" And why! Maya stood up. Am here! there will be no need for that Sir. Ace stood up, he banged on the table in anger.

" How dare you oppose me! You are fired!

" Fired! why?

" you don't ask why! this is my company!

" So what! I didn't do anything wrong for you to fire me! Am going to my office!

" Jordan! where did you find this Lady!

" Yea right! How rude! You know what! you are so Arrogant! so full of yourself! you don't fire people for no reason! you intimidate everyone in here! yea I have seen how they become so scared whenever they see you! guess what? you don't scare me! Jordan tried to signal Maya to stop speaking but Maya ignored him, she spoke her mind. All the members of the board admired Maya's courage, no one has ever stood up to speak. Ace looked at each and every person present in the room, he couldn't believe it. That was very embarrassing. " I quit! she took her hand bag to Leave! she suddenly stopped and Turned back to Ace! You are a Devil! I bet you have no family! Aghh! she threw all the files on his table, then opened the door to leave. Ace Stood with his mouth slightly opened. He was shocked and completely went speechless. He fixed himself, then left the room, two of his bodyguards who stood by the door Followed him. The meeting was dismissed, They all went back into their offices in fear. Ace immediately realized he and his mother had a bet. He wasn't ready to settle down, he knew Sylvia was serious with the bet.

" damn it! Mike Don't let that Girl leave this building! find her Now! he ordered. Mike quickly took the Elevator to find Maya.
