Brad's point of view


My head still hurts from the cut on my forehead.
what a crazy bitch.


This time around my mother went too far with this matchmaking of hers.


A psycho of an escort. I groan rubbing my forehead.


My phone rang, I picked it up

" Hello?"

" Sir," a soft feminine voice answered


"The investors just arrived"

I frowned glancing at my watch.


" And you are calling to tell me now"

" Uhh sir... I'm .. sorry. it skipped my mind"


" You are fired" I hanged up.

I don't need employees that will hinder the growth of my company.


I started Lynx corporation three year ago, and I striving hard to make it one of best companies in the country.

I'm not going to entertain any incompetent employee. I think I should fired all my stuff, they are not producing the result I need, they are proving to be a liability.


"James"

" Sir, call Mr Jones and tell him to represent me at the meeting" I said to my chauffeur

"okay sir"

"And also Tell him to organize a staff meeting tomorrow, he should make sure it doesn't crash with any of my meetings"

" Okay sir "


My muscles were tensed up , I thought of how I'm going to get my mother off my back. I don't need this sought of distraction.

" Sir I'm done"

" Drive to my mother condo"




The drive was short soon we were at the condo, I step out furiously heading towards her study, which I'm sure that were she must be.



" Good morning sir" A maid greeted me with a flirticious smile, she was wearing a revealing maid attire.


I glared at her making her scurry away in fear. I will remind mother to fire her , I don't know why she entertains such insolent behavior.




She was sitting in her with her legs crossed on her Mahogany desk.



" she smiled seeing me

" Son"

Her lips curve into a frown.


" Where you in a fight or something, she walked over to me , studying my face.

" You look awful, didn't I warn you to stay away from that boxing ring" she scolded me



I rolled my eyes.


"Your joke of an escort did that to me"


" Escort?"

" Mother you went to far, whose daughter is that, that crazy bitch nearly brutalized my face"


My mother had been setting up dates with daughters of promminet businessman man, to woo them to convince their fathers to invest in my company.



She walked over to me touching my face gentle I flinched pulling away I hate any sort of affection, it makes me feel weak.


"Which nut job did this to my son" I saw rage in her eyes like a mother hen



"The new maid, called her April or something"

" Did you say April" her face ease into a smile.

I frowned.

"Mother you mean you set me up with an escort, a psychopath"

she laughed

"Oh boy, she little fierce than I thought, April isn't an escort unfortunate you had to meet her in your room I guess."




"Mother if that crazy girl is your guest I suggest she joins you here, I'm not going to stay in the same roof with her"

she rolled her eyes getting back to her seat.




"Sit down Sebastian" I groan. I hate when she calls me by my middle name.


I sat down feeling very irritated


"I told you, months ago I'm cooking up a big surprise for you, that the susprice, April Jackson"

I chuckled, this must be a joke what is mother getting at. I don't have time for this .

I got up ready to leave.


" Sit down Brad" she glared at me.


" We are not done here"

I don't want to get into a heat argument with her, I know I won't win.

"Be quick about this nonsense I have to meet up with a business client today" I sat back.


"That girl is your golden ticket, you must handle her like a glass, I don't want her slipping through your fingers, it took me a lot of money to obtain her"


I laughed.

" Seriously mother, you are excepting me to date that nut job, you are taking this nonsense too far, I don't need your help getting investors for my company."


she smiled deviously " Be patient son"

I paused , That smile looks malicious,what evil plan is this woman cooking up now


"I know she totally not your type, not my ideal girl for you, but if you know her worth that won't matter to you, Remember you told me you want to have the largest share in Zinc corporation, and the CEO position"

"Yes," I have never wanted anything has must as I yearn and thirst for that sought of power. Zinc corporation is the best corporation in the world, it worth billions.

We the Smith we own just 7% shares in the company, even though is worth something. It not enough for me. It has been my ambitions to own Zinc corporation one day. My dad worked his ass off for that company and all he got was 7% share. That unfair.




After completing Harvard, I worked in the Zinc corporation for few years before leaving to start up my own company.

Those ungrateful bastards didn't even notice my hardwork like they did to my father.



I vowed to revenge my dad, get the Smith family what we deserve.



"April is the key to achieve our ambitions"

I narrowed my eyes at her
"how ?"

she walked over to me, and whispered in my ears.

My eyes flickered wide open.

" You.. mean"

she placed her finger on her lips

" shush, son"

" This is the best gift from me, make use of it. She is our biggest investment ever , I don't want you losing her to those vultures. Make sure we don't lose her. Play your cards right"


I stared at my mother in awe, I smirked


Oh she surely a cunning fox


"Wow mother" I clapped



" Bravo, we bet the Anderson's this time around, I heard they have also been in search of her "


she smiled.

" Thank you mother" grinning at her, this the best news ever

"April Jackson, you are going to get me my heart desire"
