“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

Lara did everything possible to make sure she got in, and one of those ways was becoming friends with the cleaners of the topmost apartments and the penthouse.Since she was famous, she was allowed to come into the Triplet Towers to make videos. But that wasn’t enough. She needed more. She needed access to one of the expensive rooms so she could act like she owned it.The cleaners were surprised that she became friends with them, and they were happy too. She constantly got them drinks and food, just to get information from them.That was when she realized that most of the apartments they cleaned were always empty because the owners were hardly ever around.The cleaners all had the pin to each of the rooms, and they had all signed a contract not to disclose that information to anyone. They loved their jobs and the pay, so they kept their mouths shut and hardly ever spoke about it.Lara knew she had to be very patient with them. After about three weeks of getting close to the cleaners,

Lara read the comments, and she couldn’t help but smile even harder. Her smile kept widening as she scrolled through them.“You all have a way of making me smile so hard till my cheeks hurt,” Lara said softly. “I’m just a humble girl living life, and you all love me this much?”She shook her head slightly, clearly overwhelmed.“I’m super grateful,” she added as she sat on the bed.“I have a couple more artworks to show you,” Lara continued. “But first, I want to talk about how comfortable this bed is.”She patted the bed lightly and smiled.“I got it from…”She suddenly stopped talking.Her smile faded immediately as she stared at her phone screen. Her eyes widened slowly when she realized that it wasn’t only her face showing on the video anymore.Someone else was in the frame.Lara screamed loudly as she looked at the screen again. Her heart almost jumped out of her chest. She turned her back immediately, and when she saw someone standing there, her scream became even louder.She scr

Nolan stood up from his bed gently and slowly walked toward his door. He was careful not to make any noise as he moved. When he got close enough, he placed his ear against the door. Immediately, he could hear a voice faintly coming from outside.“Hello, fans!” the voice said cheerfully. “I’m so sorry my livestream started late today. I spent most of my time working, and I just had the time to get home and relax.”The voice continued without a pause.“And luckily for you all, I was able to rest in my penthouse today. I know every one of you has wanted me to do a tour of my apartment, so you’re so lucky today.”Nolan frowned slightly as he continued listening.“As you can see, I just came inside from the front door,” the voice said again. “And if you look to the right, you’ll see where I hang my coats and keep my shoes.”The voice laughed softly.“When you walk fully in, you’ll see my not-too-large sitting room.”The voice paused, then chuckled again.“Okay, I’m sorry for saying not so

The security man became furious immediately. His face darkened as anger flashed in his eyes.“Oh, okay,” he said coldly. “So I’m just a watch guard and a fool, right? I’ll show you that I really am a fool.”Without wasting another second, the security man brought out a whistle from his pocket and blew it loudly. The sharp sound echoed around the entrance. Immediately he did that, several other security men rushed out from different directions, all of them holding bats and sticks in their hands.The security man pointed at the driver angrily.“This man here is being a nuisance,” he said loudly. “He called us names just because we stopped him from entering Triplet Towers. He said we are fools who can’t do anything to him.”He looked the driver up and down slowly.“But from the way he looks, I know for a fact that he’s here for a hidden agenda,” the security man continued. “And who knows, he might even be here to steal.”The driver took a step back immediately, fear filling his eyes.“Wh

“Hello, sir,” the security man said professionally. “Please, can you show me your access card?”Nolan brought out his wallet and calmly showed the security man both his access card and his penthouse key card.When the security man saw both the access card and the key card to the penthouse, his eyes widened immediately. He hurriedly straightened his posture and adjusted himself properly before bowing slightly to Nolan.This was the first time he was seeing a card to the penthouse up close. The people who lived there had a different entrance entirely, so this was truly a first for him.“Welcome home, sir,” the security man said respectfully, smiling again. He was clearly happy and honored to see someone who lived in the penthouse.By this time, the driver had already caught up with Nolan.“You… you… you think you can escape?” the driver shouted, struggling to catch his breath. “Stop right there!”Nolan didn’t even turn to look at him.Instead, he opened his wallet again and took out a c

“Oh… why should I turn it off?” the driver said casually. “I’m just trying to make sure you’re not bored till we reach our destination. Don’t you know that Triplet Towers is far from here? I’m just doing you a favor.”He winked at Nolan as if what he was doing was completely normal.“Also, there’s nothing to be shameful about,” the driver continued, laughing. “I know for a fact that this is what we all watch in the comfort of our houses, so why can’t you watch it here? It’s not like anyone would see you or know. The glass is tinted. It will just be between the both of us.”He laughed again, clearly enjoying himself.Nolan rubbed his temples slowly, feeling a headache coming up. He already knew that there was no way he could talk the driver out of the rubbish he was saying or the nonsense he was playing. From the way the man sounded, it was clear that he wasn’t going to listen to anything Nolan had to say.Nolan also realized that the driver just wanted to indulge him in useless conver
