September 29th 2009, “W-here's where's m-my Angel?” As Jason opened his eyes, he looked around, dazed. The eyes felt too heavy to be opened, but he refused to close them. As his eyes rested on the strange man, he blinked rapidly, "W-who are y-you?” he questioned while staring intently at the man, "For now, that's not important. You'll get to know me in time, but right now, we need to leave this shack! Your life is in danger!” The strange man muttered, his eyes darting between the shack and the door. Hearing the urgency in the man's voice, chills crept down Jason's frail body, and he gulped, returning his gaze to the man, he blinked once more, "W-what do you m-mean? I'm safe here, nobody will ever think to f-find me in a shack” The strange man scoffed, and shook his head, “Boy, if only you knew”, was his curt response, and as Jason watched him, he struggled to sit up against the bare and flat mattress that lay on the floor. The more Jason stared around his surroundings

Louisa, Cecil, William and Olivia had been charged to court and were tried and found guilty of some offences. Louisa and Williams, as well as Cecil, were each given forty years each, while Logan was given ten years. Williams, Cecil and Louisa were also charged with child abuse and trafficking and were sentenced to thirty years of jail time with hard labour. Olivia was also sentenced to twenty-five years in prison for criminal conspiracy and manipulation of the law. While those were living their lives in prison, Adam and the rest of his crew were living theirs to the fullest. Leila had organised a surprise party for Adam with the help of Amber, Mira, Evelyn as well and her sister Joan, they were all setting up Adam's house for his surprise birthday, His adoptive parents and siblings were also on the ground, as well as his grandfather. With Raul’s help, everyone who mattered had been invited, everyone who had been instrumental to Adam's growth and progress, as well as those who ha

Adam was back in the basement, and he walked straight to the den of the old man, with Raul trailing behind him. He walked into the den and met the Old Man and Sage Robinson already sitting and waiting for him. They had heard the news and were waiting to congratulate him. “The man of the moment,” Dreymond called out from the corner where he was seated and Adam turned to see him and Amber seated together. Adam had not seen Amber since the other day at the coast brother’s basement and he was glad that she was recuperating. Old man Thompson stood up and walked towards Adam as they both approached each other. The old man saw the passion in his eyes and stopped. He tapped him on the shoulder and nodded his head, and everyone in the room had to do the same. That was the brotherhood way of celebration, “Weldon Adam,” The old man said and patted him on both sides of his shoulder. He was in prison with Adam, and he knew how he had fought for this moment, and he was very proud to be part of

After Adam had dropped her off, Leila walked into their home with sweaty palms, occasionally biting at her lips,She tried to keep her cool and not let her nerves get the best of her. She had already told Joan that she would be back just in time for their dad's arrival, and now, she had probably missed that. She walked into the living room gently, trying to be as silent as possible, hoping not to bump into either Joan or her father she tried to sneak in but she faltered in her steps with popping eyes to discover both of them in the sitting room discussing,“Leila.” Her dad called out gently as she walked in, with her gaze lowered and her fingers crossed at her back,“Come here, princess.” Her father said, spreading out his arms to receive her in for a hug. “I am sorry I was not here to welcome you, papa.” She whispered tearfully as she hugged her father tightly,“I know I have disappointed you; please forgive me, papa.” She said as she continued to let it rain with her tears.“I am

Seeing the expression on Mira's face, her mother quickly ran towards her and immediately grabbed the phone out of her hand, glancing at Adam before glancing at the phone, and as she did, her hands began shaking and her eyes popped out, also gasping like her daughter, “W-what. Un-unbelievable, Im-po-ssible” she kept stuttering and looking dazedly at Adam, Mira gaped at her empty hand, and back at Adam, her mouth agape. She swallowed and looked at him, “Fifty million euros, Adam?" As soon as she revealed the amount, everyone around gasped and turned their gaze at Adam, whose cheeks were turning slightly red; he nodded subtly at Mira while Leila stood staring at him unabashedly, grinning from ear to ear. Still smiling a little, Adam informed a still-stunned Mira, “One of my men will reach out to you, I'd like for you to head one of my companies. You were instrumental in my daughter's well-being as well as meeting a great woman" he cast a glance at Leila and she blushed. Madam Ruth

Once again Madam Ruth burst into a loud laughter, clutching her stomach as she did. Every other person watched as she laughed, Mira on the other hand gaped at Adam, unable to string any words together,A part of her was certain the reveal was true as there was something about Adam that was quite different and he didn't seem like a pauper the way her mother had made him out to be.Leila's eyes darted at Adam, and she tried holding their gaze to confirm it, but Adam wasn't looking at her; his face was almost blank, sans the little smirk she caught on his face. She found herself wondering if whatever he had to reveal was in line with what had just been revealed.Madam Ruth once again cut short her laughter and spluttered, glancing at the manager as she spoke in a disbelieving voice,“Are you blind or what? Or perhaps you hit your head on the way here," she deduced mockingly, and the man sneered at her, refraining from deeming her with a reply.The man, alongside others, ignored her, as A

(Three Years Later) "Get these files and give them to the right department," Richard ordered, passing a file to a man standing before him. "Yes sir," The man nodded and took the files from Richard. "Do you need anything?" Richard finally raised his head from what he was doing to look at the man who was still standing. "Sir, I need you to approve my leave so I can take care of my wife who's about to give birth," The man said slowly, handing over a matter to Richard. "Alright, it's approved," Richard nodded and took the letter from the man. "Thank you, sir," The man beamed happily and quickly walked out of the office. Richard sighed and sat back on the chair after the man was out. It had been three years since everything. Andrew, Cassandra, and Harold were tried and thrown into prison. Justus, Aiden, Clinton, and Robin were also thrown into prison for fraud. The citizens of Dalton City demanded that Richard come back as the Mayor of the city. After much pleas and persuasion, h

Walking out of the office, the three walked out of the mayoral office only to be greeted by about five men who were in uniforms. Seeing the men, Andrew and Harold froze and it was as though their eyes would pop out of their sockets as they stared at the men. Slowly, they began to move back as though they had seen a ghost. "Father, Andrew, what the heck is wrong with both of you?" Cassandra frowned and stopped the two who were retreating slowly. "You should also go back; they are most probably here to arrest us," Harlod whispered to Cassandra, whose eyes flashed with panic. This must be Richard's fault. They were sure he was the one who invited them over. Apart from him, no one dared to make such a big move. Also, they were not expecting it. "Please stop moving back; we are going to assume you want to run away, and we would be forced to use force on you?" One of the men stepped forward, stating in a loud, cold voice, making the three stop in their tracks. The people before them

"What the heck is that bastard doing?" Andrew slapped the table angrily standing up from where he was.Somehow, some reporters had managed to get to the scene where Richard was arresting Aiden.And in the end, the citizens were praising Richard for arresting the miscreants. Then a torrent of curses was sent towards Andrew and it was said he knew nothing but to say things that were not true.This annoyed Andrew, but there was nothing he could do about it."You saw why I said we can't let him live," Cassandra, who had been silent all along, broke the silence, and the two couldn't help but nod.She was right, there was no way they would allow Richard to live. He was just too damn dangerous."So do you still think we should take the killing seriously, or we should continue to look at him," Cassandra stared at the two men and inquired."We should get rid of him for good this time, else, he won't spare us," Harold shook his head.He knew if Richard was to know they wanted to kill him, he w

"If that's the case, why don't you just let us search the house?" One of the policemen frowned and spoke."If you were to search the house, you would also be wasting your time as you wouldn't be able to find them either," Alice shook her head, wondering if this set of people were dumb."Seems like you don't believe it?" Richard smirked, staring at the police officers."Since that's the case, then go and search the house," Richard continued, waving his hands allowing them to go search the house."You can go," Vivienne nodded and allowed the men to go into the house to search.Though she trusted Richard, her men seemed to have doubts. So she had no other choice but to let them clear their doubts by going into the house."But how did you know all of these?" Vivienne asked, staring at Richard."That's because Clinton is not an ordinary Criminal," Richard answered with a smile.He knew how Clinton's mind worked. So he was very sure he was still in the house."Look at his style. He knows

"Fuck!" Aiden, who was typing with all of his might, suddenly cursed. "Who the heck is playing with me?" He yelled, banging the table. He had been trying to hack into the place, but for some reason, he was not able to do it. At some point, the other person seemed to have given up and left. But he didn't and continued to fight with the other party. After a while, he realized the other party didn't even take him seriously at all and this made him annoyed. "What's wrong?" Clinton, who had been packing, rushed into the room and asked what was wrong. "You won't believe this guy is playing with me?" Aiden spoke, fury could be felt in his voice. "What do you mean by that?" Clinton asked slowly, the expression on his face changed. "He's not taking me seriously at all. He's not even trying to defend the place. More like he's just forcing me, wanting me to make mistakes," Hearing this, Clinton's eyes opened wide. While he was at the Mayoral office, they didn't have anyone with that sk

"The universe is on our side," Andrew laughed loudly, walking into the office; the smile on his face was as wide as anything."What's happening?" Harold, who had been waiting for Andrew to return, stared at him, waiting for the news."Well, it's just that our team was able to block Aiden from entering and the money is still intact," Andrew laughed, sitting on the sofa."That's good news," Harold nodded, agreeing almost Instantly.Now that they have been able to block Aiden. All that remained was to attack Richard right?"Richard has not yet taken the bait, has he?" Harold asked a frown emerging on his face."You don't need to worry about that, I'm sure he's still pretending. We still have a lot of time. All we have to do is pretend the money is still there." "And if he doesn't take the money, we can still pin the blame on him, it would still be the same outcome anyways,""Good, good," Harold agreed, nodding happily.He was very satisfied with the way Andrew acted. He was sure that th

"Marcus," Damien said quietly. "Execute a total network wipe on Lucas Global Tech.""Initiating the clean sweep now, Boss," Marcus’s voice returned instantly through his earpiece.Director Lucas let out another loud laugh, waving his hand in the air. "Look at you, talking into your shirt. You think your little helper can break through a military firewall? My security system is the best in the world!"But before Lucas could pick up his cigar again, the giant digital display screens on the lounge walls suddenly flickered violently. The bright numbers showing the evening stock prices vanished. The entire room fell silent as the large screens turned a deep, dark red.A massive digital countdown appeared in the center of every wall screen: 03... 02... 01…"What is happening to the monitors?" one of the investors asked, standing up from his chair to get a better look.Suddenly, Lucas's personal mobile phone began to buzz wildly on the table. It did not stop. Hundreds of text notifications

Ignoring the wailings of Pierce Jr. and the questioning glances of those around, not minding the glances thrown at them, Damien and Amelia strode into the main lounge of the Grand Horizon Club.Large crystal lamps hung from the ceiling, casting a warm glow over dozens of small tables. Men in expensive suits and women in long dresses sat in groups, drinking from small glasses and discussing the stock market, ensuring they were as loud as the room allowed.Damien strode into the room with steady steps, his tall figure drawing the attention of several guests. Amelia walked right next to him, her face calm and her eyes scanning the crowd. They did not stop to look at the beautiful decorations. They had only one target in mind.Sitting in the largest booth at the back of the lounge was their target; Director Lucas. He was a heavy-set man with short gray hair, wearing a tailored gray jacket and holding a thick cigar. Surrounding his table were five wealthy investors, all laughing loudly a

Elite Club Entrance. The tall buildings of the capital city rose high into the night sky. Unlike Oakhaven, this city was bright, filled with flashing neon signs and long lines of expensive sports cars moving down the wide streets. The air was crisp and clear as Damien guided the black car into the wealthy business district.Amelia looked out the window at the massive glass towers. "The Governor’s inner circle spends all their time here, Damien. To find the people who helped move Aaron, we need to enter the Grand Horizon Club. It is the most exclusive spot in the entire province.""We will get in," Damien responded, his hands moving the steering wheel smoothly. He parked the car near the entrance of a massive, beautiful building with a wide driveway.They stepped out of the vehicle. Damien wore his plain black suit, looking tall and powerful, though his clothes had no expensive brand labels. Amelia walked by his side, her face calm and steady. They walked up the wide steps toward th

Turn of Event. "Your driving is fine, Mr. Royce. Or should I call you the shadow CEO? Yes, I know exactly who you are. The alliance sent me a text message with your license plate number an hour ago.”Amelia stepped forward, her face full of anger. "You are a police captain! You are supposed to protect the law, not take orders from a criminal alliance!"Captain Vance turned his head toward Amelia, his mocking smile growing wider. "Miss Su, the law belongs to the people who pay the bills. In this province, the Governor and his partners are the law. They paid me a very large amount of money to make sure you two do not finish your little road trip tonight.""What do you want, Vance?" Damien asked quietly."I am going to lock you up," Captain Vance answered, his voice full of supreme arrogance. He pulled a pair of heavy silver handcuffs from his belt and tossed them onto the hood of the car. "I am going to throw you and your girlfriend into a dark, deep cell at the county station. No

Enemies Territory. “Not only that, I traced the distributor”Marcus revealed, and Damien's eyes turned a dangerous glint. Daniel jabbed at Marcus, narrowing his eyes a little.“Stop stalling and tell them all they need”Hearing that, Amelia leaned forward, folding her arms to her chest, as she raised her brow at Marcus.Clearing his throat theatrically, Marcus continued.“The latest shipment arrived a few weeks ago”"And?” Damien urged impatiently."And, every company that purchased the ink is linked to a shell company owned by someone in the Westbridge province”Amelia gasped, while Damine smirked, nodding his head briskly. The room fell silent for a while, tension gradually seeping in.Damien broke the silence with his gruff, confident voice, a voice like a blade that sliced through the silence.“The Alliance”Every head nodded, as all pairs of eyes gazed openly at Damien.“Westbridge Province.” He stated, having a faraway look in his eyes. "That's where their next move will be”Fo

The apartment remained silent. Eli had retired to his room, while Marcus and Daniel returned to their workstation, determined to make a breakthrough and discover what game had been played on them earlier. The glow from their laptops lit up the kitchen a little, with codes and surveillance feeds displayed on the screen.Their findings hadn't made way yet, but both men were determined to see it to the end. Seeing Damien in such a manner was enough determination.Amelia had retired to her room, sleep eluding her, the day's happenings playing through her mind like a movie.On the other hand, Damien was alone in his office, sitting and dwelling in the darkness that surrounded his room and heart. The letter lay on his desk, the words seemingly mocking him.For the umpteenth time, he glanced at the letter, reading the final line once more.‘Come find him’Those words felt like they were taunting him, like he was being mocked and dared, and he didn't like any of them. His jaw tightened, these

Faith swallowed subtly and then gave a curt nod, her eyes gleaming with determination, "Yes. Tell me, what's your professional opinion about me?" She asked. Heaving a sigh, Jason shrugged as he said,"You're a sweetheart beneath all the toughness you like to put on. You wear a fake armor of being cold and unfazed, but unfortunately, your cousins and parents see it too clearly. You're afraid that if you show them how soft and caring you are deep down, they'll take advantage and walk over you. But you've come to realize that this facade isn't working either,"Pausing a little, Jason continued. A part of him wondered if he was going too far, still he pressed on,"You opted for being a people pleaser, always wanting to make your mother and your Grandma happy, and working diligently, in fact so hard that you neglect your own happiness and chase after their approval," He stopped as he saw that she had long stopped looking at him and had chosen to stare at the table with her clasped hands

After Madam Rita's explosive response and abrupt exit, Jason and Faith had gone out to lunch shortly, leaving behind the number of eyes that trailed after them,Even with everything that had happened, he could still feel the eyes of the crowd judging him by his appearance, he could care less about their opinions, he was only after Faith feeling better after the whole episode with her cousin and grandmother.They arrived at a popular fast-food restaurant that was neat and had only a handful of people in it at their arrival, as Faith took in her surroundings, she quirked her brows but said nothing, Not realizing how famished he was, Jason immediately ordered a burger, and milkshake along with some fries, while Faith just ordered the classic chicken and chips, Nibbling on a chip, Jason gazed at Faith with a gleam in his eyes,"So tell me something, Miss Head of Management, how does it feel to finally prove your family wrong and get the promotion," he asked as he picked up the Coke can

As Michael's lips neared Jason's feet, the room fell silent with bated breaths, all of their eyes fixed on what was happening before them, Jason's face was inscrutable, but he had a slight smug expression on his face,Faith's face was a mix of expressions, on one hand, she felt vindicated by Jason, knowing that Michael was finally having a taste of his medicine; Michael had been coming for her and today was no exception, but on the other, she felt a deep sense of guilt as well as a pang of pity or was it sympathy? She could hardly believe that her cousin had been reduced to such a humiliating state,At that moment, if a pin had dropped, everyone would have heard it but probably not paid attention as they watched keenly to see if truly Michael was going to kiss Jason's feet,“Is Michael truly going to kiss his feet?" One of Faith's cousins inquired with her mouth agape as she watched with keen interest,“Hmph! You see his lips close to those filthy legs, yet you wonder and ask if he wo

Uhm…ehh” Michael stuttered as she shifted from foot to foot, "Don't waste our time! Make the payments.” Mrs Rita responded, and then faced Faith, "Faith, call out your details so he can make the payments," she said with authority; she wasn't going to direct it to Jason, as she deemed him insignificant. Jason chuckled before he shook his head and responded, “You see, the thing is," he drawled, taking his swell time to continue while they sneered at him. He was enjoying seeing the beads of sweat on Michael's face trail down to his chin, clearing his throat he continued, “Well, the bet isn't a monetary one. I actually do not need his money" Scoffs went around the room at his statement, but he ignored their subtle remarks, gazing intently at Michael. Mrs Rita's face turned sour just as her brows furrowed, she glanced between Michael and Faith, throwing a questioning gaze at the former, as though she was asking him, ‘What in the world have you done?!’ In response, Michael

At that moment, Michael was reminded of the stupid deal he had made with Jason at his insistence and he nearly shuddered. One look at Jason and he knew the same thought was running through the bastard’s mind and it caused a whirlwind of emotions within Michael, he felt anger and humiliation, internally wishing for the ground to open and swallow him or for an apocalypse to take place, he couldn't imagine himself apologizing to any of them, he would rather die.As though the universe was against him, his grandmother turned to him with a tight smile and gave him a curt nod,“Don't keep us waiting Michael, apologize and get on with it" Michael swallowed and nearly toppled over, it was as though something had slammed into him. Blinking furtively, he glanced at his grandmother who had her brows raised, and also spared a smirking Jason a glance,“We're waiting, Michael. Apologize to your cousin, so we can get on with the preparations,” his grandmother called out once again, and Michael visi

Without hesitation, Michael quickly picked up the remote and turned on the television; at the same time, a couple of his cousins and a few colleagues were glued to their phones, with their mouths wide open. Every other person's attention was glued to the television,The man from earlier appeared on the screen, and Michael sneered, seeing his face was a brutal reminder of the embarrassment he had faced there, still he tried to shake it off and concentrate on whatever the man had to say,“Whoa, that's the COO of Greenlife Group, he's also the acting CEO. He's not handsome but intimidating”"Yeah, he must know and be close with the CEO who remains a mystery, nobody knows what he looks like" A few people whispered amongst themselves while their eyes remained on the screen, Mr Ethan was about to speak, he was in a conference room that was filled with the men and women of the press,“Thank you all for joining me at such short notice. I do not take it for granted as time is valuable.” He im
