When Nolan arrived at the place, he found out that there were quite a lot of people surrounding Melinda. It was so crowded that he could not even squeeze his way to the front. The space was tight, with bodies pressing against each other, and voices shouting from every direction.It was the first time Nolan would actually be in this kind of situation concerning a celebrity. He had never seen such a huge crowd before, and he had never seen people struggling and almost fighting just to get close to one person.He did not expect that someone like Melinda would be surrounded by so many people. To him, he felt like if you were actually very famous, things would be more controlled and organized. But this was completely different. This was chaotic, messy and was overwhelming and for a moment, he wanted to leave.The scene was too rowdy for him. The noise, the pushing, the shouting, everything was just too much. He was not used to this kind of environment at all.But then, he remembered that

“I’m sorry, but my brother did not do anything wrong. I don’t see any reason why he should even apologize. Besides, if Trevor decides that because of what just happened he would not help you again, and you don’t become a big director or producer, then he is too small-minded and that means he has a problem,” Jayla said, crossing her arms as she spoke.This time, she was not holding back at all. She was defending Nolan seriously.“What do you know? What do you actually know about Trevor and the circle we are in right now? Do you know the kind of temper he has? Do you even know who he is?” Jeffrey said angrily.He shook his head.“You know what, I don’t want to have this conversation with you anymore. Nolan, come with me. Let’s go and apologize to Trevor right now,” he said again, grabbing Nolan to pull him along.Nolan pulled his hand back immediately.“If you want to apologize, you can go on your own, Jeffrey. There is no way I am going to apologize to Trevor, because I did not do anyt

At this moment, when Mason, Jason, Jeffrey, and Trevor heard what Jayla said, they were all speechless. Their faces changed immediately, and the disappointment on their faces was very clear. None of them expected that kind of answer from her. In their minds, it was an opportunity that no normal person would ever reject, yet she had just turned it down so easily.“Now I understand why people from your kind of family always remain poor,” Trevor said, shaking his head. “I have given you such a good opportunity, and you don’t even want it. If people from families like yours ever want to achieve anything great, it is going to be very difficult. In fact, you will have to go through hell to even get this kind of opportunity again.”As soon as he said this, he turned as if he was about to leave, clearly dissatisfied.“Please, Trevor, wait,” Mason quickly said, stepping forward immediately. “I know Jayla doesn’t want the opportunity, but I know someone that would jump on it immediately. I also

“Are you sure you are thinking about this really well? Do you know who is standing in front of you? This is Trevor, and with his kind of influence and status, to get a promotion from him is a very big deal. To get this kind of opportunity from him is not ordinary. Do you know how many people are begging to be in your sister’s position right now? Do you know how many people have tried to reach out to him so they can get this lead role he wants to give to your sister? This is an opportunity for Jayla, and I don’t think you have any reason why you would want to delete her future by saying what you just said,” Jeffrey said, showing his displeasure very clearly, his face tightening as he spoke, his tone becoming more serious as if Nolan had just committed a very big mistake that could not be corrected.He did not stop there. He looked at Nolan again, as if trying to make him understand the weight of what he was doing, as if trying to pressure him into changing his mind immediately. “You sh

Just then, a car pulled up in front of them, and Jeffrey laughed.“Oh yes, that is my friend inside the car,” he said with a smile, looking at the car in front of him.“Oh, Trevor, you are here. I have been waiting for you for some time,” Jeffrey said as he walked quickly towards the car, smiling. He used his other hand to carefully block the roof of the car in a skillful manner, so that Trevor would not hit his head on the door as he stepped out. A man with a short build and a big stomach stepped out of the car, looking around casually. This was the same person Jeffrey had been talking about, his friend who is a big shot in the entertainment industry and also a very big producer. “Oh, Jeffrey, how have you been? Why are you standing outside, and why haven’t you gone inside yet?” Trevor asked casually, expecting that Jeffrey would have already gone up to the rooftop since the event had already started. He was surprised that he was still downstairs. “Oh, for no reason at all. I was

Now it looked like Nolan was trying to brag, like he was trying to make himself look bigger than them, and he did not even understand how it suddenly became such a big deal.To him, attending a rooftop party was not something that should cause this kind of reaction.He did not know that there was a kind of ranking to these events.He did not know that you had to be at the very top to be able to attend something like that. All of this was new to him but even at that, he knew that there was no point trying to explain anything to Jason.It would only make things worse. Jason had already made up his mind about him, and no matter what he said, it would only sound like more lies to them. For a brief moment, Nolan found himself thinking about the last rooftop party he attended.He wondered what would happen if he told them what really happened that night.He wondered how they would react if he told them about the amount of money he donated at that event, and how everything turned out for him

“I worked all my life for your father,” Luis began, his voice filled with bitterness. “Tirelessly helped him build Stellarcorp from the ground up. And when the company became big, he still used me like a fool.”“I didn’t mind at first,” he continued. “I treated Stellarcorp like it was mine too. Gave it everything. But then, out of nowhere, he decides to look for his long-lost son, to give you the company.”Luis scoffed.“He didn’t even ask me what I thought. Didn’t care. Just ordered me to find you and hand it all over. To make it worse, he told me to watch over you while you ran the company. Can you imagine that? Me, the man who brought Stellarcorp to fame, reduced to your babysitter.”“The company should have been mine, not yours. Your father’s lucky he died when he did, helping you escape. It was supposed to be you six feet under, not him. But you were just lucky that day. My men did a sloppy job.”Suddenly, a voice rang out.“Enough of your talk, just kill this bastard already!”

“Am I in a moving car? I’m definitely in one.” Damson thought to himself as he opened his eyes groggily. He tried to sit up and realized he was in the trunk of a car. He banged on it several times, trying to get it open, but it wouldn’t budge. He began to sweat, helpless and disoriented, forced to wait until someone decided to open it.“Who did this to me? What happened?”“Why can’t I remember being put in the trunk?” Is Maria okay? Was she also shoved into another car?”So many questions ran through Damson’s head. He was confused. His head felt heavy, too big to carry.He eventually laid back down and decided to wait until the car stopped. After about twenty minutes of pure torture, the car finally came to a halt. Damson let out a small sigh of relief. He heard muffled voices outside, and then suddenly, the trunk flung open.He blinked against the light and tried to sit up, but his body failed him. He couldn’t move. No matter how hard he tried, only his head responded. “What the he

Damson couldn’t leave the Wilsons just like that after finding out what Mr. Wilson had done for him. The man saved his life, and the least Damson could do was help the family with the funeral preparations. He paid for all the expenses and also gave them a large sum of money to sustain them for a long time. He even advised Logan to invest wisely.He had wanted to stay longer, but Logan asked him not to. His mother and sister would only feel more pain with him around. His presence would be a constant reminder of what happened to their father, and they didn’t need that. Damson understood and didn’t push further so he left.At first, he decided to head to his apartment, but then he changed his mind and went to the dorm instead. He hadn’t been there in a while, and he wanted to see his friends, Luke and Fred. They had reached out to him several times, asking where he was and why he hadn’t been around. At the time, he couldn’t tell them he was married, so he just told them he had gone job

Maria sat in the car, fiddling with her fingers, random thoughts flying through her mind as she stared out the window. Kate was seated beside her, and two other men were in the car with them.She didn’t fully understand what she was doing or what she had just agreed to but one thing was clear, she couldn’t die because of someone else.Damson would do the same, right? Maria wondered, now biting her nails.He’d choose survival too, even if it meant putting me in danger… right? Anyone would… right? She was disturbed.“But Damson betrayed me too. He treated me like a fool, lied to me, and deceived me. I thought that we were close, that our bond was real.”“Had he been acting all along?”“How is he even the president of StellarCorp? When did that happen?”“He was the poorest student in school. So how? It doesn’t make sense.” Maria’s thoughts raced, growing angrier by the second.“I could’ve gotten more opportunities. I could’ve had a good job in his company. I was close to him! But he de

“What! No, no, please don’t kill me. Please don’t,” Maria cried, scared for her life. Today has been a rollercoaster of emotions. She was scared, disturbed, and deeply worried and she couldn’t help but be angry at Damson for dragging her into his mess.She was in this situation because of him.“Caleb and the boss want Damson dead, and now, because of him, I’m going to die too.” She thought to herself. “Where’s Kate?” the boss asked, ignoring Maria’s cries.“Since the last time she almost got caught by Damson, Kate had been lying low.” One of the men replied. “Tell her to come here right now. She has someone to get rid of.”“Is that really the next thing you’re supposed to do? I don’t care what you do with Maria, but can it wait till we finish off Damson? Why are you wasting time killing people you’re not supposed to!?” Caleb asked the boss, frustrated.“It’s your fault this is happening!” the boss snapped. “I told you nobody was supposed to know that Damson is the president of Stel

Caleb ran his hand through his hair angrily. His body trembled, and all he wanted to do was find Damson and end his life. He wasn’t interested in whatever plan the boss had to offer. He just wanted to carry out his own.His life had taken a dip after his father lost his company and couldn’t get help from anyone. He had called all his father’s friends and visited different companies for assistance, but everyone gave him the same answer, they couldn’t help. He was devastated. His father became ill, and they had to sell their cars and properties just to afford treatment.Caleb was left with nothing. He was broke and had to struggle to get by every day. Because of that, he hardly showed up at school. Everyone had known him as one of the richest boys in the university, but now, everything was gone. He had nothing.To avoid questions and rumors, he stayed away from school and wandered around. He spent most of his days at clubs, stealing from people and drinking. It was during one of those
