Married to the loveless CEO-Chapter 127: By force

"Did you get it?" Leo asked.

Olivia had just arrived at the villa after going to see Gabriel. They were now in Leo’s study.

"Yes," she replied, "Everything," she added and she saw as Leo and Zane, couldn’t help but let out a breath of relief.

...Few hours ago...

"Let me help you put these on," Zane offered and he went closer to Olivia.

"This is a micro cam with a mini inbuilt speaker and recorder," Zane told as he wore it on Olivia, he put it in a place that won’t be easily noticable.

"Wow, it’s so small. All that features for something so... almost invisible," Olivia fascinated.

"Yes, it’s a special gadget made by Yul enterprises," Zane replied.

...Presently...

Leo and Zane just finished watching the footage of Gabriel admitting to everything and even to the kidnapping case of Davian.

"Always knew he was responsible for that," Leo commented.

"So, what now?" Zane asked, when they were done watching the footage.

"Time to rain on his parade," Leo smirked.

"Yes. At least he was CEO for a couple of days," Zane mocked, laughing and Leo joined in.

"Thank you Olivia, this wouldn’t have been possible without you," Zane appreciated.

"You are welcome," Olivia responded with a smile.

"Yes Olivia. Thank you...for this," Leo finally added. He can’t believe after everything that has happened between them, she still comforted and helped him out, without asking for anything in return.

It was making him confused. It wasn’t the kind of person he had imagined her to be, why would she help him? She was just...the exact opposite of his impression of her.

Was he totally wrong about her all along?

But she did use him. Was this her really sorry about it and trying to make up for it?

Olivia smiled, "You are welcome, Leo."

Leonard immediately showed the video of Gabriel’s confession to his father first.

"My God..." Mr. Yul responded, he couldn’t believe Gabriel could really go this far. He was even also planning to kill his own brother.

"I’m... I’m so sorry, Leonard. I did believe and trust you but I had no choice but to relieve you of your position. Turns out some of the board members and share holders were already bought out by Gabriel," Mr. Yul added.

"It’s okay, father." Leo replied.

The next time Leo went to the Yuls’ mansion to see his father, Gabriel was also present as Mr. Yul requested for him.

They all went to the drawing room and when they were all seated, on Mr. Yul’s laptop, Mr. Yul showed his own copy of the video, to Gabriel.

Gabriel was so flabbergasted.

That sly b*tch! She played him, she played him for a fool and he bought her act. He was too desperate to have sense any hidden agenda from her and she just screwed him over, screwed him over real good.

"Do you have anything to say?" Mr. Yul asked Gabriel. He didn’t respond, he had nothing to say.

He could feel himself break into cold sweat, he was still so petrified and taken aback.

"I’m just so disappointed in you Gabriel. You are selfish but I just can’t believe you are actually capable of going this far, framing your own brother! Then trying to persuade his wife to poison his health slowly?!

"When did you become this despicable?!" Mr. Yul yelled the last parts, he was really vexed.

There was silence.

"I called you both over so we could settle this amicably. You are still my son after all, your disgrace is a disgrace to this family’s name, so this as well, will settle this quietly. You are going to forsake the position," Mr. Yul ordered.

"That’s not fair. That position is my birthright, I’m the oldest son. Why do you favor Leo so much?!" Gabriel yelled, he was fuming right now.

"I don’t favor anyone, neither do I give anyone special treatment. I love all my children equally," Mr. Yul replied and Gabriel scoffed.

"I don’t do partiality, I believe in working for and towards what you want. You want something, you have to prove that you are worthy and deserving of it. Leo has always showed great competency and he worked so hard to earn the position.

"But what did you do, you resulted in this to get it. There could have been a better way to have done this Gabriel, but you took the wrong path and I can only give Yul enterprises to someone who can manage it, who can keep the family’s image, reputation and name upright," Mr. Yul paused.

"And that’s Leonard. As for you, this is a serious offense, kidnapping, fabrication of evidence, contempt and false accusations,who knows what other crimes you have pilled up.

"You are my son and I only want the best for all of my children. You will forsake the position of CEO and also, give me the names of all the board members and share holders you bribed," Mr. Yul continued.

"W-What are you going to do with it?" Gabriel asked.

"All the bribed board members are going to forsake their positions as well and leave Yul enterprises, they are bad eggs that needs to be removed.

"As for the share holders, in other not to take this thing any further, or involving the authorities, they will all be forced to sell their shares in the company as compensation," Mr. Yul responded and Gabriel gritted his perfect white teeth.

This is all that b*tch’s fault, all his plans- Ruined! All because of her.

He can’t let this slide, how many times has he been made to look like a fool?! He wouldn’t let himself be the loser. She isn’t going to get away with this, he will get back at her and she is going to pay with her life.

He doesn’t care if she is pregnant or not. He will also push through with his plans of getting rid of Leo, and everyone that will stand in his way, even if it’s his father. You want something so badly, you gotta take it by force!

***

Davian’s wheelchair was as usual before the two parallel railings. He had showed great improvements lately and now he could manage to stand up on his own.

But he couldn’t stand for long and he needs a support to put his weight on as he stands up, before he would be able to stand fully and let go of the support, whatever it is- Human or non living things.

Today, he told himself and everyone that he is going to take a few steps on his own. They were all expectant of it, they all hoped- Including Davian, that he will truly be able to.

His hands went to the railings and supporting his weight on them, he managed to stand up. He let out a breath, his veins and muscles stood erect both on his body and temples as he took his first step.

"F*ck!" he cursed as he did.

Silvia rubbed on his arm to comfort and encourage him, "You are doing great, my love," she told and he turned to her with a smile. This was the first time she actually called him with a sweet name, I mean...she always used his name.

It was truly a big encouragement, "Call me that again," he requested.

She smiled, "My love, you can do this," he smiled goofily and she chuckled.

"Okay, yes I can do this. For you and...well, a little bit for me," he said and she laughed again.

He was able to take forced steps, till he finally got to the end of the railings.

"Good job Davian!" Silvia beamed, she was so happy.

Davian sat on the wheelchair again catching his breath as if he had just ran a marathon. Silvia wrapped her hand across him and she kiss his temples.

"Good job my love," she repeated.

He held her hand on him as he continued to catch his breath, "Are you going to continue calling me that?"

"If you like it, definitely," she grinned at him and he smiled back.

"Good job, Mr. Randell. This is wonderful improvement, you can be discharged soon. Though you will still continue the therapies so that you will be able to walk properly," James announced.

It was wonderful news to Silvia’s and Davian’s ears.

...

"Ma’am Olivia, your brother Axel is here to see you," the butler told.

What? Why?

Olivia didn’t want to see him. After successfully marrying her off and getting the funds they want for shipman’s enterprises, they completely forgot that they had a sister and a daughter.

It was as if they sold her out. Why does he want to see her now?

With a sullen expression, she eventually went downstairs to see him. He was at the living room.

"There’s my beautiful sister," Axel greeted with a forced smile.

"Hmm," Olivia responded and sat on the couch opposite him.

"Wow sis, you look so nice. Leonard Yul must be treating you so well, did you gain weight? Is he home by the way?" Axel questioned.

"Why are you here Axel?" Olivia asked.

Axel scoffed, "So stoic and straight to the point as usual,"

"Well, I came here because I need money," he told.

"What do you mean by you need money?" Olivia questioned.

"Yo dumb?" he responded, irritated.

"I don’t really get you. Money for what?" she inquired.

"For the company, it’s bankrupt again," he informed.

"What do you mean bankrupt again? What happened to all the funds that the Yul family gave to you?" Olivia asked, she thought requesting for huge amounts of money from the Yuls would just be once.

But this a**hole of a brother of hers just had to return to ask for more, what happened to all the previous money? Now she will really look like a gold digger.

"Stop asking me stupid questions Olivia and just grant me my request! It’s the sole reason why you were married into the Yul family anyway," Axel reminded.

"Well I won’t grant you your request if you don’t tell me what happened to the previous funds!" Olivia stood her ground, surprising Axel.

He scoffed as they held each other’s gaze, ’Where was this sudden confidence coming from?’ he thought.
