“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

Jayla was the daughter of Nolan’s uncle and aunt. She wasn’t his real sister, but Nolan treated her like his blood. They grew up together, and he loved her like family. So when he heard her crying on the phone, scared and panicking, it made his heart drop. It meant that something was clearly very wrong, and it made him afraid.Her voice was shaky from crying and her words were hard to hear.“Jayla,” Nolan said gently, trying to stay calm. “Can you calm down a bit and tell me clearly what’s going on? I need you to breathe and talk slowly. What exactly happened to Uncle? What’s going on right now?”Jayla sniffed loudly on the other end of the line. She was crying hard. “Okay… okay… I’ll try,” she said, taking a deep breath.“So I came home today, and I saw Dad lying down on the bed. He looked really pale, and he was sweating a lot. I got scared and asked him what was wrong, but he told me he was fine. He said everything was okay. So I didn’t push it. I thought maybe he had just done to

When Manager Lee was sure that Eric had gone downstairs and the noise had stopped, he let out a long sigh. He walked up to the door of the penthouse and pressed the doorbell.Inside the house, Nolan was sitting down and drinking water when he heard the doorbell ring. He didn’t go to the door immediately. Instead, he stood up and walked to the small screen beside the door. It was a camera that showed who was outside.He looked at the screen and saw that it was Manager Lee standing outside. He looked calm now, not angry like before so he pressed the button and opened the door.“Come in,” Nolan said.Manager Lee stepped in quickly and bowed to Nolan.“I’m so sorry, young master,” he said. “I didn’t plan for this kind of thing to happen. The guards downstairs were supposed to be extra strict and no one should have been allowed to come to this floor without permission. They really failed today and because of that, I sincerely apologize.”Nolan walked into the living room and shook his hea

Eric turned slowly and saw Nolan standing a little far from him and he was just standing there, staring at him. Eric’s eyes narrowed at him.“What do you think you’re looking at?” Eric shouted, walking up to him fast.He pushed Nolan hard in the chest. “Have you been standing here just to watch me fail? Are you going to run to school and tell everyone what happened? Is that your plan?”Nolan stood his ground and didn’t move back but he looked annoyed.“I’m not even the person you should be talking to right now,” Nolan said with a small frown. “You know I’m not like that. I don’t go around telling everyone about people’s secrets and business like you do.”Eric’s jaw tightened because he hated that Nolan was right. “You should be more worried about Ginny,” Nolan added. “She saw everything. She saw how you gave the card back to Manager Lee and she saw how you begged him not to tell your father. If anyone is going to run their mouth, it’s Ginny, not me.”Eric bit his lip hard. He knew N

Manager Lee looked at the rest of the group and spoke again, ignoring Ginny. “The rest of you, leave now. Get out of here before I lose my patience. If you don’t want to be in big trouble, leave this minute.”Savannah didn’t even think twice before she rushed to where Jett was lying on the floor, holding his side in pain. His face was red, and his shirt was torn. She bent down beside him, looking at his injuries.“Are you okay?” she asked, her voice filled with worry.“I don’t know…” Jett said weakly, wincing in pain as he tried to sit up.“Come on, let’s go,” she said as she helped him stand. It wasn’t easy because he couldn't even move without groaning so she put his arm over her shoulder and slowly walked with him toward the elevator.Dora stomped her foot hard on the ground angrily. “This is so unfair!” she shouted. “I didn’t even get to see the stupid penthouse! I can’t believe I came all this way for nothing!”But when Manager Lee turned to look at her with his cold eyes, sh

Ginny turned around quickly, fuming. She pointed at Manager Lee and looked at Eric and Jett.“Don’t let this man from nowhere scare you!” she said boldly. “He’s only trying to act big, but he can’t do anything. He’s not the owner of this place. He’s just a worker and a staff! He’s nothing compared to us.”Manager Lee raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything.“The good thing is…” Ginny continued with a smirk. “I already recorded everything he said. Every single thing. I have it on my phone right here.” She waved her phone in the air.Eric’s eyes widened. “What?! Ginny, why did you…?”“We’ll take it to the police,” Ginny said, ignoring him. “We’ll show them how he tried to threaten us and with this, he’ll rot in jail. He thinks he can talk to us like that? He’s finished.”Eric rubbed both hands over his head in frustration. All he wanted was to show off the penthouse and impress his friends, especially Ginny but now, everything was ruined. He had never been this stressed before.May

Manager Lee walked forward with a serious look on his face. His eyebrows were raised as he looked directly at Eric with questioning eyes. Eric felt nervous immediately. His legs started shaking a bit, and he didn’t know where to put his hands. He looked down, then looked at the wall, then the ceiling, anywhere but at Manager Lee.“Can I ask you a question?” Manager Lee said, walking closer to him again. “Why are you here?”Eric opened his mouth to answer but no words came out. He was still in shock and didn’t know what to say. His friends were all looking at him, waiting for his answer and waiting for him to tell manager Lee that he was related to the person that stayed in the penthouse but he couldn’t talk. If he said the wrong thing, he could get into big trouble.Then, Ginny suddenly stepped forward with her hands on her hips and a ugly look on her face. She rolled her eyes and scoffed loudly.“Do you even know who you’re talking to?” she said, pointing at Manager Lee like he was
