A month later

JABAL'S POV

Zuleha barged into the room like someone being chased by a mad dog with a worried look, the sudden barge made me look up from my phone as she walked to me.

"Alexia told me Cliff has been contacting other shareholders and they're ready to support him with their votes most especially the major shareholders", she half shouted as she stood with her hand on her hips.

Dropping the phone beside me, I threw my head to the back and laughed mirthfully for some minutes while Zuleha sat at the edge of our bed staring at me as if I'd gone nuts.

"So spill it", she demanded as soon as I stopped laughing.

"Okay, do you think I don't know about it?", I asked calmly while trying to catch my breath.

"Then what?", she queried impatiently as she folded her arms beneath her bossom which revealed her cleavage as she tapped her foot lightly on the floor.
Typical Zuleha, she was always impatient.

"See I have them curled under me mehn, it's just a roll with butter, I know Cliff has bern talking to them but it's all our plan, I intentionally ordered them to agree with Cliff so he won't be suspicious, so chill baby, your husband has got the best brain", I explained with a smile.

A beautiful grin slip out of her lips as her eyes brightened. Awe transformed her face.

"You're really intelligent, Cliff would be more than shocked that day, you've really got the brains", she patted my laps while smiling.

"I'll be meeting with Mr. Josh later with the boys, he has been proving obstinate but now I've found a skeleton in his cupboard", I boasted while Zuleha smiled and gave me a thumbs up.

"That's my guy, I know you're not as daft as that foolish Clifford, the company is ours", she added throwing me a wide, beaming smile.

"Well, I'll be flying out for some days to speak with other shareholders and whereas I need to find dad's fucking lawyer", I grunted at the last part.

Sadness washed over her face but it was soon replaced with her smiles.

"And the drug ring?", she inquired.

"You'll monitor it".

"Okay then, anyway I'll be going to MODUSOIL to get some juicy hints and whereas I need to put that Priss or whatever that drossel is called in her place"

I gave her this 'why' look but she brushed it off with a wave of her palm before lowering her voice to a whisper.

"We can use it against Cliff", she smiled crookedly as I understood what she meant.

A smile crept on my lips as Zuleha walked out of the room, she really got brains for crook things, I bless the day she came to me after Cliff's mom rejected her, ever since then we had gotten close and in no time we started dating.

I told her about the company and my dad's plan to transfer his shares to Cliff. Dad and I were not that close as we do fight a lot, he didn't like me because I always spent lavishly through clubbing and partying amidst all other things but I didn't give a damn, he had always cherished Cliff and was always comparing me to him and at such I was piqued and had loathed Cliff.

He didn't like mom either due to him being forced to get married to her and to her always supporting me. I'd learnt from mom that he had always loved her younger sister and at such had never shown an ounce of love to her.

He never treated her well as all they did was engage in a melee, they'd never come to an agreement. After learning Dad decided to transfer his shares to Cliff and his illegitimate child, I'd been embittered by the news and had tried talking him out of it but he remained a mule and at such I took to Zuleha's advice and poisoned him in which our then cook was currently paying for the sin.

It was after the deed had been done that I found out Dad had another hidden lawyer in which no one knew of and that anonymous lawyer had actually done as he had said. Ever since the shares had been transfered to Cliff no one knew the useless lawyer's wherabout and at such I couldn't get my hands on the illegitimate child's shares.

Can you imagine?
He gave me only 2.5 shares, fucking 2.5 and mom well he did try and gave her 12.5 and transfered 10% to that bloody bastid called Cliff and yeah that bastard of his was given 6.5, imagine such nonsense.

Ever since then, Cliff had become my archenemy well he had always been my foe ever since we were young but I concealed that fact. Zuleha and I planned our revenge together, Zuleha was bent on making Cliff's mom regret and at such we started with the marriage and publicly disgraced their family.

I'd gone to Paris before then so as to avoid suspicion before Zuleha joined me the night before her supposed wedding to Cliff, that day Zuleha and I got married leaving Cliff to get married to his fucking ass.

We'd been monitoring them in the past years and we decided to go back to complete our revennge when we heard Cliff had been appointed as the CEO.

Zuleha was someone I adored and loved a lot, I didn't deserve a good dog let alone a fine-looking woman like her, she'd always been there for me and was the brain behind everything. The brain behind the whole revenge and the drug ring.

Yeah, we were stinkingly rich with the money we got from the drug ring but we hadn't attain our goal which was to get the company and use it as a cover-up for our illegal business and if we didn't act fast, we'll get caught 'cause investigation was on.

"Earth to Jabal", Zuleha shouted as she clinked the two fine crystal wineglass together which jolted me out of my thoughts.

A chuckle escaped my mouth as she eyed me.

"What were you thinking about? You were practically out of planet earth", she joked while pouring the wine she brought with her in the wineglass.

"Yeah, I'd travelled to planet Saturn but my perfect 10 brought me back", I teased while she handed over a wineglass to me.

"Cheers to our victory!", she screamed with a smile as she clinked her glass with mine.

"Cheers", and with that we gulped down the wine.

Zuleha had wanted to say something but Qadira beat her to it with her screeching sound, her deafening and loud cry.

"Gosh! that girl has started again, it's high time she had a sibling", Zuleha complained as she dropped the wine glass on the table.

"Is her nanny not with her?", I asked but Zuleha glared at me while I laughed making jest of her, she slapped my laps before going out to Qadira.

Qadira was our seven months old daughter and mehn that girl cries a lot and she wouldn't stop until her mother appears, the nanny always found it hard to keep her mute but it was always futile unles her mother showed up, it was really frustrating most especially when Zuleha and I were having our alone time.

"Finally", I mumbled into Zuleha's ear as soon as I walked into Qadira's room, she didn't turn or respond but rather dropped the quiet Qadira in her cradle.

I moved closer to my daughter who was now smiling as I played with her hand.

"She's as cute as a kitten", I noted and Zuleha wore a plastered fake smile before smacking my head.

"Why?", I turned to her with my hand at the back of my head.

"Don't you dare refer to my daughter as a kitten", she deadpanned.

I made a mistake, Zuleha hated cats and I mean she despised them with passion, it was always fun tormenting her with them.

"Our daughter", I corrected while smiling sheepishly.

"Whatever", she shouted and walked out of Qadira's room.

I played with Qadira for some time before cooing her to sleep.

On getting to our room, Zuleha was sitted on the dressing chair as she admired herself in the mirror, she'd already changed into a white floral loose top on a black jean, apparently, she was prepared to go out.

"Hey", I mumbled while kissing her neck.

"I'm going to Alexia", she announced as she picked up her weekend bag . Alexia was our accomplice as she monitored everything that was going on at MODUSOIL.

"Okay, then", I moved back for her to pass but instead she tiptoed and kissed me lightly on the lips before I deepened it.

"Time to go", she mumbled as she stopped the kiss and smirked.

"But I thought you said Qadira needed a sibling", I whined.

"Not now and whereas you need to get that pink colour off your face", she mimicked as she turned to re-apply the lipstick.

So here is Jabal's POV, I decided to write about him and Zuleha.
Anyway, let's look forward to the competition, who do you think will win?
