But instead of being happy, Fiona slowly turned her head and stared at Cole with a glare that made him keep quiet. She looked at him like he had just said the most annoying thing in the world. In her mind, she was wondering who even asked him for his own input. She didn’t even ask him for anything, and wondered how he didn’t know when to keep quiet so that the person she actually wanted to talk to could talk to her.Fiona gave Cole one last look of disgust before hissing under her breath and looking away from him like he irritated her soul.James saw the way Fiona hissed at Cole, and instead of minding his business, he actually smiled to himself like he had been waiting for that exact moment. He leaned forward slowly, making sure his movement caught Fiona’s attention. And of course, she looked at him immediately.“If a beautiful lady like you wants to come here every day,” James said in his smooth confident tone. “then it shouldn’t be a problem at all. Pretty girls like you deserve to

But Nolan simply shook his head. “You don’t have to do that. The money I paid isn’t a problem,” Nolan said with the same calmness he had been carrying since everything started. If someone didn’t know him, they would think he was faking it and was really bothered truly. Gabriel sighed heavily. “I’m really sorry that this is happening. I swear this is not what I wanted for today. But I can’t leave. I just can’t walk out and leave Debby alone and…” His voice trailed off slowly, guilt eating up his words.Nolan lifted his hand slightly, cutting him off before he could continue. His expression didn’t change. He understood Gabriel, understood the situation and he understood that he was not the problem here.But still, Gabriel felt terrible as if everything was his fault.You need to stop stressing, Gabriel. I’m the one that is being attacked but you’re the one getting worried,” Nolan said smiling and shaking his head. “Remember that I’m used to things like this. I’ve been dealing with ru

“This is unbelievable,” James said, still laughing, wiping fake tears from his eyes. “I don’t even know what to say.”He took a slow breath before shaking his head like he felt pity for Nolan. “But I do know one thing, yes, life might be tough, and yes, getting by might be a little difficult sometimes, but it is not enough reason for you to steal or start using that kind of childish tactic. That’s actually very saddening.”John nodded beside him, clearly enjoying the moment.James continued, acting like some wise elder giving Nolan advice. “Now that you know me, and because of Debby, I will even offer to help you. If you need financial help, you can just reach out to me. You don’t have to be going around stealing from people.”He paused a little, letting his words sink in before adding another jab.“If you’ve been doing this since, with the mindset that you won’t be caught, let me tell you, you will be caught one day and not just caught, you’ll be sent straight to jail. And I’m very s

James was a very competitive person, and everywhere he went, he was always comparing himself with anybody he saw. Whether it was about who was more handsome or who was richer, James always wanted to be above everyone. He loved the feeling of being the one on top, and that was why he always did everything possible to make sure he held the highest position anywhere he entered. He refused to allow anyone to be better than him. So in his eyes, Nolan was nothing but a measly loser who didn’t even have one single expensive thing on him for James to point at. He couldn’t believe Cherry was even dragged down to stand on the same level as someone like Nolan.“By the way, why are you all on the ground floor and didn’t book the private room upstairs?” James asked, looking around with a deep frown. “This place looks so congested. I don’t like the way the tables are joined together at all. Who did this kind of setup?”“You don’t even need to ask,” Sam muttered under her breath as she looked at Nol

Cherry quickly sat down on a chair, brought out her makeup bag immediately, adjusted her hair, and started fixing her makeup with full concentration. “Thank you for giving me heads-up, even though it was late,” Cherry said playfully as she dabbed powder on her face, checking her reflection every second. She packed her makeup bag the moment she was done, and right on time, James and his friend John walked into the restaurant and started walking toward them.James and John were friends, but anyone seeing them for the first time would think they were brothers because of how close they were. Their closeness was so tight and natural that there was nowhere James went that you wouldn’t see John right next to him. Everyone was always jealous of their friendship because it looked too perfect and people meeting them for the first time would automatically assume they were brothers because they had the same vibe and energy. The both of them walked in, looking so handsome in their luxury clothes

“It’s fine,” Cherry said quickly, flipping her hair and shrugging like she wasn’t bothered anymore. “I know you had good intentions for me, Debby, so it’s okay. And also, by the way… I already have someone that would soon be my boyfriend.” She said the last part excitedly, her mood switching instantly as she smiled happily.Debby’s eyes widened so fast and gasped so loud that Cole, Gabriel and Nolan thought something was wrong with her, “You have a boyfriend? Already? How? When? How come you didn’t inform me!?” Debby almost screamed, grabbing Cherry’s arm in shock, “I didn’t tell you because it’s not official yet, and I wanted to tell you when I was sure of my feelings and his. Even though he hasn’t asked me out, I just know he will,” Cherry replied shyly, her cheeks already turning pink.When Cole and Gabriel heard this, they were not happy at all. In fact, both of them were confused and irritated at the same time. Just a few minutes ago, they were excited to hear that Debby wanted

“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
