“I am sure, you can’t afford any, not even in your next lifetime,” Leo said. Asher shook his head and smiled. The two were looking down on him. And he is going to make them pay for it. “He can’t; I can even make a bet that he doesn’t have a hundred thousand dollars in his bank account.” She smiled. At the same time, a few others stood around. Those who had witnessed the scene unfold couldn’t help but wonder why someone like Asher would even come to the estate when he couldn’t afford it. They glared at him, some hissed and taunted him. But that didn’t shake Asher. He had not gotten started. “Hey, you should just leave. You can’t afford a house here.” “Do you even think houses at Garden Court Estate are for losers like you!” “He is not only filled with bragging but his pocket is filled with trash.” Leo and Jenifer were enjoying the comments from the others around. Leo muttered, “Each of these properties is available through private appointment only. Buyers are pre-screene

A tall man walked towards them with a swift and professional demeanor. His ID badge read Leo Christopher, Lead Sales Consultant.He couldn’t tell what was happening between the two, but from their expressions, he knew something was off about them.Just then, Jenifer took the opportunity to mock Asher more. Does she think she could win? She doesn’t have any idea who was standing before her, I guess!“Miss Moore,” he called out with a smile, then turned her attention to Asher. “Who is he?” It was obvious Leo looked down on Asher even before they got to know each other. From his gaze, Leo wasn’t happy having someone like Asher around. Being the sales consultant, he had met many people, and few of them were window shoppers. He suspected Asher was one of them. His gaze was etched with not only disgust but with contempt. Jenifer seized her opportunity as always, “He is just some worthless pauper who showed up all of a sudden to acquire about the villa at the other side, saying he want

“Mr. Mancini, I will need to take my leave. I am truly sorry for interrupting your celebration. Please permit me to go.” Asher knew better than to accept; he could tell the latter didn’t want to stay, and he could sense the discomfort in his gaze.He shrugged, “Alright, you can leave.” Asher said with his voice barely above a whisper.Aaron and his men bowed respectfully towards Asher before leaving the hall. Chris’s friends stared at Asher with confusion and admiration; a while ago, they were scared that Aaron would ruin the party, but they were left stunned when they watched him bow before Asher.They couldn’t help but wonder who he was and where he was from. Whisperings and murmurings erupted as many could be seen staring at Asher.Mia’s face flushed in embarrassment, each time her gaze narrowed towards Asher. The same person she thought was not connected or worthless had just made Aaron look like a nobody.She couldn’t stay any more as many eyes were peering at her after the hu

Without hesitation, she pulled up her phone and dialled Mr. Owen’s number. Aaron watched her with a dark face.Mia’s calls were never answered by Mr. Owen. She frowned. She was about to contact Olivia when a hand hurled across her face. She staggered back as she collapsed to the ground. Her face turned red and swollen.“Who the Fu*k do you think you are? Do you have a death wish? Do you know who I am?” He growled furiously.“I am sorry, Aaron. She doesn’t know who you are. Please, have mercy.” Chris pleaded. Asher sat with his head bent low as he watched the scene with mixed feelings, but watching Mia be slapped was more exciting than ever.“You dare hit me. I will make sure you pay for this?” Mia sneered. Aaron grabbed her hair, and she moaned in deep pain as she struggled with him. He slapped her again, this time harder than the previous one, her face tilted to the side, forcing blood out of her mouth.Hot sweat drenched Chris’s forehead; he couldn’t help but stare; he wished he c

“Do I look like someone who is bluffing, Mia? I have more than you can imagine.” “Bragging again, I am not Olivia that will believe all your lies. But come to think of it, who is that friend of yours that always gifts you with such expensive wine? He must be wealthy because no one in Kingwood would gift you such without coming from a wealthy family.” She voiced. “Can you link me up with him?”Asher laughed and looked at her again, “YOU are not his type, and I am not sure he wouldn’t even give a look at you.”She frowned, as her face darkened from his words. “Why? Am I not beautiful? I am a goddess of beauty? Anyone who comes across me will definitely want to be around me.” “But I don’t want to be around you, and I don’t see anything beautiful about you.” He smiled.She waved her hand and spoke with gritted teeth. “You are a nobody, my charm only works for people with big pockets. Do you know how much I spend to maintain such beauty?” She sneered. “So tell me where is he from? Where

“Asher, I am sorry. I couldn’t tell you or anyone. I was scared something bad might happen. I had no choice but to run away. I couldn’t kill you, not when I knew I was carrying your child.” Tears dropped on her cheeks.Asher’s face was burning red, his fists were clenched, and his knuckles turned ghostly white. Isabella’s words hit him so hard. All this while he thought his parents died in a car accident, but they weren’t; they were killed.“Who sent you to kill me? Who is that?” He asked with his voice brewing in deep anger.She shook her head, “I didn’t get to see his face, I was blindfolded the entire moment. I only heard voices,” her voice cracked at the end.Asher’s piercing gaze burned through her like fire. “You should have informed me about it? Why did you hide it from me,”She shook her head fiercely. “I am sorry! I have no idea what to do. I was scared that they might kill me and the baby. I couldn’t tell anyone, not even my evil uncle. It was me against them.”Asher paused

Jack barely glanced at her; he knew what he went through when he was with her and wondered why a girl like Clara Grant would want to talk to him.“Please, I am sorry for what happened in the past between us. I made a mistake. I was stupid and shallow back then. I let my friends influence me, but I never stopped loving you.” Jack let out a short laugh, “Never stop loving me you said.” The students began to eavesdrop on their conversations, they were surprised to see Clara Grant apologizing to Jack. They all saw the video of how she humiliated him all because of Jesse Warren. “What has come over her?” one of the students asked.“Is this really Clara Grant? Is she truly asking for forgiveness from Jack? What about her boyfriend, Jesse?” The students murmured.“Let me remind you, Clara. That when I asked you to be my said, you laughed and said you couldn’t date a broke guy who couldn’t afford his own meal. Sounds familiar right?” Jack spills out with gritted teeth. He was beginning to

Vivian frowned her face, all she needed was an explanation and not someone who would lie to her. “Stop acting like you don’t know what I am talking about. Did you do it?” She demanded, her voice smooth but firm. “I still don’t know what you are talking about, Darling. Make me understand,” Mr. nelson said, looking at his daughter. “Did you send someone to poison Jack? Why?” her mind was boiling in inner rage and fury. “Where did you hear that from? Who told you, why would I do that.” Mr. Nelson said shaking his head. “Stop lying, Dad. I heard you clearly. It was you who paid the waitress and even killed her. Why would you do that? You want to kill your friend’s son.” Mr Nelson’s expression darkened, and he gritted his teeth. “Is that what you go about doing now, sneaking into people’s rooms to eavesdrop on their conversations.” He said without remorse. “Are you for real, Dad? Why would I do that.” She tried to explain but he interjected her. ‘I thought you were smart, bu

Chapter 54 Anna exhaled softly, her heart was breathing fast. “I followed him,” she said, using her eyes to signal him. “I saw him on his way here, and I knew I had seen him somewhere before, then I remembered it was at the boutique. My instinct pushed me to follow; I couldn’t stay back, and I trailed behind him throughout without his notice. I have been hiding for over an hour, I saw the lady who left the room earlier.” Jack’s eyes widened in disbelief, this was unreal. Kelvin, who also heard what she said, was shocked by the revelation. “How did I not notice someone was behind me.” He asked himself. “I am sorry, I didn’t mean to do it. But I was worried about you, Jack. You haven’t been coming to school, I asked everyone about you. I suspected something was wrong.” She said, her gaze facing downward in shame. “It’s fine, I am not angry. Thank you for caring about me.” He replied. “How is school, what’s happening?” he added. Anna nodded, “School is going as normal; we are h

She pretended she was there to see someone, then followed Kelvin without his knowledge. She watched him amble inside. Through the transparent glass, she could see someone inside, he lay on the bed with a lay seated beside him. “Could that be jack? What happened to him? Why is he here? Was he in an accident?” She asked herself in confusion. Anna was beginning to suspect that Jack has been involved in some mafia business or maybe he has joined some gang, because for some months he has been acting strange, and she noticed he has been looking different unlike him. Wearing different clothe, his phone and his behaviour everything about him has changed. But why would he not change when he is now the son of a billionaire, I guess there is a lot she doesn't know about Jack. Anna hid behind the wall watching everything that was going on inside. She finally saw the face of the person on the bed and without been told it her him. Meanwhile, inside the hospital room. Jack, lay on the bed. Li

The room was shattered; he noticed a figure lying on the floor covered in blood, and her clothes torn, revealing her upper body. The scene before him made him speechless; his jaw tightened, and his face darkened. The guards behind stared at each other. “Call the cops.” Kelvin Wang instructed. Kelvin Wang stood outside the house with Detective Mathew, “What were you doing at the crime scene,” he asked. “I came to ask her about something; she was supposed to be at the office but didn't show up.” Detective Mathew stared at Kelvin Wang, he knew he was the senior butler of the Campbell, “you think she was involved in the poisoning of Jack Campbell” Kelvin Wang narrowed his gaze at the detective, his mind was preoccupied with several thoughts. He wondered who could have killed her. “Officer, I don't care what you think. But from the look of things, this woman knew something about the poisoning. Why would someone kill her if she knew nothing.” Kelvin Wang said with his voic

The receptionist was scared she stared at the men standing before her with. “Is there anything we can help you with?” Kelvin Wang eyes darkened and his gaze locked on her, “where is the manager?” He asked again not ready for any argument. She took the phone and murmurs into it, then turned to face Kelvin and his men. “The manager will be out in a minute.” She replied politely. Kelvin turned away from her, his gaze scanning around the lobby. The onlooker stared at him wondering what was going on. But to his men they knew better. He was analysing every corner and taking details. He didn't see the place as a hotel anymore but a crime scene. A minute later, Elliot Gideon stepped out. His kept a worrisome and crimson outlook when he gaze met with Kelvin Wang and the guards, the incident of jack had made him reckless, knowing he would be blamed for everything that happened. “Good evening, Mr. Kelvin Wang.” he said with his head tilted and his voice low but smooth. Kelvin nodded w

Ryan watched as they wheeled her out, his heart was heavy with worries. He rushed and followed the paramedics team, with his mother. He knew he needed to be by her side to make sure she was alright, she just saved his life. Ryan couldn’t shake the unease feeling that was building within him, “Hold on, Elizabeth. We will get through this.” Ryan said in his mind.The paramedic’s team rushed towards their van and drove immediately to the hospital. Ryan took the key from Nicolas and rushed behind the ambulance. His heart was racing fast, he blew the horn repeatedly when they got to the highway trying to find a path for him to drive.When they got to the hospital, the paramedics team sprang into action, and Elizabeth was wheeled into the hospital. And was taken in for treatment.Ryan raced inside like someone who had been chased, he was breathing fast. He asked several nurses and he was told that she was undergoing an operation.He sat on the chair facing downward, with tears welling up

“I heard everything you said. Grey. It was you who killed Brown at the hospital. I never thought you would be this evil until today.” Victoria said with a voice mixed with anger and pain.The policemen and the guards rushed inside the building, they stopped when they noticed the scenes that were happening before them.“Drop your weapons, you are surrounded by the police.” The Chief police officer said.Grey’s heart sank into his stomach, he knew there was no way out of him. He turned to face Ryan who gave him a small smile by the side of his lips.“You called the police, Ryan. How dare you.” Grey said.Ryan shrugged, “My mum wasn’t the only person you kidnapped, Elizabeth Brian is here.” He said soft but firm tone.The police team moved closer to where Mrs. Rebecca and Elizabeth were tied and helped untie them, setting them free, and moving them towards the back.“Drop your weapons,” The chief of police screamed again.“I can’t drop my weapon, I can surrender to you,” Grey said, his

His mother’s heart was pounding fast in fear, and Her eyes widened in horror. Seeing Six hefty men against her son Ryan.Tears were streaming down her cheeks and her body was trembling. Ryan placed the document on a rust table, beside him.Ryan knew he could take them if he stayed focused, he watched their movements, and his senses were on high alert. He watched as they moved towards a direction coming out with different weapons to fight against him.Grey stood behind, an evil smirk formed immediately by the edge of his lips. “Don’t kill him, we still need him alive to sign the document,” Greg instructed.The men nodded their heads intermittently while moving towards Ryan with a stern and mocking face.“You had picked the run person, Grey. You guys can walk away now you have the chance, I wouldn’t hurt you. I will give you some minutes to think about it.” Ryan said with a calm but firm tone.The men exchanged glances and laughed, “Let’s deal with him.” The scarred man said.Ryan st

“But I never believed you would have some people who are still loyal to you. They did a nice job of setting off the fire on time.” He said making a mockery of it.Ryan glared at him, “What is your gain in all this and what do you want?” He asked with his voice dripping in fury.“I had no idea you were this smart,” he said. “I want everything you owe, Everything your grandfather gave to you including the company.” He said.Ryan giggled with the right side of his lips, he wasn’t surprised by what he said. He knew something was odd about Grey from the beginning.“How do you think it’s going to be possible? There are people before you who have tried to take things off my hands and they failed. And one of them is your father,” he said confidently.Grey got pissed by his statement, giving him a deadly glare. With his jaw clenched. Ryan was using this as a delay tactic for the police and his men to take position. Meanwhile, Nicolas and Sebastian have positioned themselves with snipers at d

They moved slowly till they got to an open space, Ryan glanced around the room and he could see his mother being tied to a chair, her eyes could tell her story that she had pain and fear while her heart was enthralled with indescribable sorrow.It got to Ryan’s notice that she wasn’t the only one, he narrowed his gaze to the left and found Elizabeth Brian also tied at the other end.“What is she doing here and how come she was kidnapped alongside my mother.” He mumbles inwardly. Ryan was in a perplexed state but maintained his composure for the task ahead.His eyes flickered in rage while transferring the anger to his hand grip on the bag. He counted the men he saw starting from the entrance, they were a total of six men.“Where is your boss, tell him, I have what he requested and he should set them free,” Ryan said, his voice deep and showing no atom of fear.One of the gang members who seemed to be the leader, he had a scarred face, spoke with authorities.“Not so fast, we need to c

Ryan and Freddie got to the entrance of his mansion, where Ryan met his driver, Jerry. “Get in, we are heading out,” he commanded.Jerry felt something was off, he knew his master wouldn’t have sounded like that. But he believes whatever it is his master will always conquer it no matter what.Ryan felt his phone vibrate, he shoved it out placing it on a loudspeaker.“Master, Ryan. It’s Sebastian. I have news that you should know.” Sebastian said.Ryan already knew what he wanted to say, but allowed him to make the statement.“What is it?” Ryan said with a plain tone.“Master, Your mother has been kidnapped. The two guards she went out with were shot and have been taken to the hospital, we have informed the police about it. And they have sent a rescue team to search for her.” Sebastian said.“Master, I believe it was Joseph who sent those men to kidnap your mother,” he added.Ryan inhales.“I know about it, the kidnappers have contacted me.”“What did they say, did they request for any
