Sweet Sin - S01 E152

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 152

But when he went to seminary, Dean stole the building plan, developed it and build this place. He finalized the original ownership documents in his own name and used his fake signature to reverse the ownership of this land too.

And Uncle Will helped.

He did.

So…this is the reason the man insisted on sending him to seminary just to have the empire for his son cos according to Dean, the company is now in Vince’s name.

As Tobias stared at the lobby details, his eyes darkened more, and his intentions became more veiled.

They rode the elevator to the top floor, and the Odds scattered themselves around the offices, shuffling the devices and desks.

They got to work immediately without asking questions like they’ve been ordered to do even before they left the Oddsion.

The order; no matter what happens, get in, and get to work.

So they did.

Even Estelle joined them.

She handled the bins, gathering the baskets and stretching the folded documents.

Jude and Yalda are the only free one who stood beside Tobias and supervised with him.

“Your phone, Wrath.” Yalda handed it to him when it rang.

It’s not a saved number, but Tobias recognized it before picking.

“Hello?”

“I told you, Tobias,” the President’s voice sounded. “From the moment he began getting worked up over the Empire, I knew something like this would happen.”

“Why did you call?” Tobias asked, eyes not leaving the working Odds.

“Dean showed a legal document with your name on it when he announced you as the real owner of the Empire.” The President asked.

“They’re ordinary illegal documents I obtained before going to seminary. Now with the originals with Vincent, the ordinary is useless…” Tobias said.

“I warned you severally about your illegal ways, Tobias…”

“Of course you did, and as usual, I didn’t listen, cos I hate listening.” Tobias smiled downwardly.

“Tobias….”

“I’ll handle this my own way. I always have my ways.” Tobias sighed. “And be careful, I have a feeling Vincent would think that now that he got to me, you’re next.” Tobias advised.

“Stop advising me and tell me what you plan to do, Tobias,”

“You’ll hear about it, soon.” Tobias hung up.

“Vincent came with all of Valhalla rats, Wrath.” Yalda said.

“Does that mean he’s Valhalla Club Leader?” Jude scoffed. “I was wondering where his boldness came from. He’s Valhalla Leader, and also bought the Empire? Iconic.”

“Someone’s coming up!” An Odd reported front the front office.

A minute later, Seraphina entered the floor, rushing into the office with shaky, disturbed breaths.

Her eyes settled on Tobias very fast, and her legs took her to him before she knew it. She wanted to hold his arms before talking, but she stopped herself before she could do it.

She folded her palms and just halted, closing her throat on her desperation.

“How’s he the owner of the Empire? First, Dean, and now it’s Vince’s turn to play his own game? What’s going on?” She asked slowly.

“How about a hug and a chin kiss before you actually start talking,” he inhaled slightly.

“Toby—”

“Tobias.” He corrected coldly.

“Tobias, I… I’ve been busy with work at my workroom, and I barely even get breaks like you know. My models are going in front of cameras tommorow, and—”

“And that’s why you’ve been spending less and less minutes on FaceTime.” He cut in. “Two minutes, and you’ll get an excuse to cut it off. Phone call? You barely spend a minute. Coming to your place? You won’t even get in bed like you’re scared to make contact with me. It’s been a week since you last allowed me to kiss you, Sera. And sex? Talk? I don’t even wanna talk about how impossible they’ve become.”

“Tobias, I…” She sounded awkward. “I’m…”

“Don’t stutter. You haven’t been stuttering for months now. Don’t start now.” He interrupted.

“I’ve been busy, and I came here cos I wanted to know the update about Vince. Whenever the plan is made, just call me, and I’ll run to you. You know I promised to bring down our enemies together with you, right?”

Tobias didn’t reply, but when he tried to touch her, she shifted away from his touch and rushed out.

Tobias’s hand dropped.

“I could hear her heartbeats when she was here, I swear…” Yalda muttered immediately.

“Is she ok?” Jude wondered. “She has been avoiding Firstie. It’s too obvious.” He blinked.

“What’s next, Wrath? Anything to smash this next enemy Vince to the grave.” An Odd asked.

Tobias looked ahead.

“What Vince did today, y’all didn’t see it. The twenty-four hours ultimatum he gave, it doesn’t exist. Pretend like there’s no Vince in this world and continue doing your job in here. I’m eagar to see his next move.” Tobias instructed.

“I feel like more is still on the way, seriously…” Another Odd said.

“You want us to take Dean or Uncle Will and make them pluck out each other’s teeth?” Yalda asked.

“What did I just say about pretending that nothing is happening?” Tobuas faced her squarely.

“I’ll follow your lead,” Yalda agreed. “I’ll go focus on getting Tino.”

She left the Empire.

“J, drive me to Saint.” Tobias said.

Jude led the way to the elevator immediately.

While they left, the rest of the Odds resumed work in reshuffling the Empire to Tobias’s taste.
