“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

“You’re not deceiving him,” Debby replied. “And if at all, you’re doing him a favour. You’re the one that told me that after Savannah broke up with him, he hasn’t been with anyone else since then. We’re literally doing him a favour by introducing him to a beautiful girl like Cherry.”“Hm… okay then,” Gabriel said slowly. “You’re not lying. So let’s hope that Nolan and Cherry are a good match because, you know, they started off on the wrong foot.”A few hours later, at the restaurant, Debby was seated with Cherry, telling her what she should do and what she shouldn’t do when Nolan arrived.“You must be a bit nicer to him,” Debby said. “In fact, I mean extra nice.”Cherry nodded, biting her lips as she checked her watch.“I thought you said you told him to come by 2 p.m.,” Cherry said impatiently. “It’s already almost two, and he should have been here by now.”She wasn’t comfortable with the idea that she had to be the one waiting for Nolan to show up. She believed that men were suppose

Cherry took a deep breath as she slowly sipped her drink, thinking about everything Debby had said. For about three months now, her dad’s company had been facing serious problems.Her dad had invested in a startup company that he thought had big potential, so he went all in. He didn’t know he was being deceived so he got scammed and that scam led to bankruptcy for the company because their finances started dipping really badly.Her father had to keep borrowing money and taking loans just to pay his employees, but it wasn’t working and no matter what he did, the situation kept getting worse. This was one of the reasons Cherry had tried to get close to James. She knew about Natural Bebe and how being in a relationship with James could help her dad’s company.James had been making a lot of mouth, talking about how he would be the next managing director of his father’s company and that alone gave Cherry more reasons to move closer to him but what she didn’t expect at all happened at the re

The next morning, in a café downtown, Debby and Cherry were seated across from each other, drinking coffee and having a conversation.The café was quiet and calm, with only a few people around, but Cherry’s voice was loud and filled with disbelief.“Are you serious right now, Debby?” Cherry asked sharply. “I really can’t believe you called me out for something like this. Is this some kind of joke, or aren’t you listening to what you’re saying?”“You want to set me up with Nolan!?”“Yes, I want to,” Debby replied calmly. “Besides, you’ve already broken up with James. Or more like, both of you couldn’t even go further with your relationship.”“And also, Nolan is single, so why don’t the both of you give it a try? At least talk and think about dating each other first. Who knows? It might actually happen.”“You must be kidding, Debby,” Cherry scoffed, shaking her head slightly. “Look at me. Do you really think that I’m suitable for that guy?”“Uhm… yeah,” Debby replied without hesitation.

Lara walked angrily back to her small car, huffing and puffing as she replayed everything that had happened in her head.“What is his problem? What is his deal?” she muttered angrily as she got into her car and slammed the door shut.“Do you even know who I am, that you don’t want to be friends with me? I’m a celebrity.”She scoffed. “You fool. You should be glad that I want to be your friend, you proud thing.”She shook her head in irritation.“Nobody would even want to be friends with the kind of person that you are.”She brought out her phone and opened the app that everyone used to connect with one another and after about an hour of searching for Nolan, she finally found his name.It was quite easy for her, especially because Nolan used a picture of himself as his display picture.As she was about to text Nolan on the app, she noticed that she had received several private messages from her fans.She opened a few of them and started reading.“Lara, you left the livestream without e

Lara was willing to do anything to make sure her secret didn’t leak and what she didn’t expect was for Nolan to reject her.She never saw it coming. She thought all men were the same and believed that once she suggested sleeping with him, he would jump at the offer immediately. But to her disappointment, he didn’t.Nolan calling the police made her realize something clearly which was that sleeping with her didn’t even cross his mind.She was shocked and couldn’t help but think about how she looked, her beauty, her curves, everything she had always relied on. Yet none of it worked on him.To her, Nolan suddenly seemed different and special. He was the first man she had met who was like this.She didn’t know him at all, yet she couldn’t help but wonder how someone could be so rich, rich enough to own this kind of apartment, and still be so low-key.She knew he had even more wealth hidden somewhere and she also knew one thing for sure. If the first plan didn’t work, then she needed to f

Suddenly, Lara moved. She rushed to the bed and knelt beside Nolan, her knees sinking into the mattress.She placed her hands gently on his thigh.“You’re not in need of a girlfriend, are you?” she asked softly, a sly smile spreading across her face.“What…?” Nolan asked, shocked and confused, clearly not expecting such a question.“If you don’t mind,” Lara continued, leaning closer, “I can warm your bed for you tonight… if you’d love that.”She chuckled lightly.“We can have a thing or two together.”She tilted her head slightly. “Do you understand what I mean?”As she spoke, her fingers slowly played with the buttons on Nolan’s pajamas, her smile growing wider.“You know,” Nolan said with a smirk, “before you entered the room, I was about to call the police and report that someone barged into my room. You would have been arrested and woul a lot of things to explain to them, like how you got the pin to my apartment.”Lara moved back a bit, panicking. “I’m not a thief, I promise you,”
