“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

Nolan knew that at this point, he had no choice. If he didn’t fight back now, the man was not just going to beat him up, he was going to escape with the stolen bag too. And then everything Nolan did, chasing him and almost breaking his own leg running would be for nothing. He couldn’t allow that.So he forced himself to gather all the strength still left in his body. He pushed the man again, this time stronger, fueled by frustration and adrenaline, and the man fell to the ground. Nolan didn’t wait and started to kick him, again and again, the man trying to protect himself with his arms, rolling to the side, begging for help. Nolan didn’t even hear what he was saying properly. He was too angry. But then he finally stopped because he didn’t want to kill the guy. The moment he paused, the man quickly took advantage of it. He scrambled to his feet and ran as fast as he could.Nolan stood there, breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling and for a split second, he thought about cha

Nolan went to the bathroom to ease himself and when he was done, his plan was to just step out and get some fresh air, avoiding Fiona and waiting for Gabriel, his girlfriend and Cole to show up. He came out of the bathroom area to wash his hands and while he was washing his hands, there was a man next to him who was also washing his hands.The both of them made eye contact in the mirror and Nolan could just tell that there was something suspicious about him. The man was dressed in all black, even his jeans were black, he had dark sunglasses on his face inside the restaurant, and he even had a hoodie pulled up. Everything about him just screamed something was off. Something about the way he stood and the way he watched Nolan made Nolan feel off too.The man turned to him and Nolan could tell that there was a glare behind the sunglasses.“Can I know why you’re staring at me?” the man asked in a gruff, deep voice.Nolan quickly shook his head and looked away.“I’m sorry about that…” he t

“Oh, yeah, I forgot my phone, and I had to quickly go and get it. I told them not to wait because it looked like Gabriel was in a hurry, and I didn’t want to be the one to delay him,” Fiona lied as she explained to him with her usual dramatic voice, sounding like she was actually being considerate and nice. Nolan wasn’t even paying attention to what she was saying. He just stood there, staring at her and wondering for the millionth time why Fiona was always left alone with him. Why did she always somehow end up beside him? Why was he always the unlucky one that had to deal with her? He sighed quietly as he watched her keep talking, already feeling tired before the day had even started properly.“I was hoping that you’ll still be here so that we can go to the airport together, and luckily for me, you’re still here,” Fiona said, laughing like she said something funny.Nolan just stared at her, not saying anything. He honestly didn’t even know what to say or how to respond to her. He fe

“You’re really being dramatic, Gabriel. You’re not going to bash the car,” Nolan said, rolling his eyes and wondering why Gabrel would even think like that. At the same time he knew that if he ends up bashing the car, it wouldn't be a problem because he can just get a new one. He tossed the key to Gabriel, and Gabriel barely caught it with both hands. “Just go and pick up your girlfriend.”Fiona had already walked up to the boys at that moment, a bright smile on her face las she had no idea what was going on. If she had heard what Gabriel had said about her, she definitely wouldn't be smiling. She said hi to Gabriel and Nolan, but the reply she got back was half-hearted, and dry, almost like their minds were somewhere else when it wasn’t. Nolan didn’t even look at her when he said his own greetings. He legit ignored her completely like she was invisible. “Okay, I’ll meet you at the airport then. Let me just find a ride at the front of the school,” he said, not bothering to wait for

Nolan pinched the bridge of his nose, letting out a long sigh. He hadn’t expected his friends to be bickering on what was supposed to be a good day, a day that should have been about picking up Gabriel’s girlfriend from the airport and enjoying a simple meal together. “Can someone please explain to me what exactly is happening right now?” he asked, his voice sounding frustration as no ine was answering him. “Time is really not on our side, and Gabriel, you don’t want to keep your girlfriend waiting.”Gabriel, still frowning, pointed at Cole. “Well, Cole here decided to invite Fiona,” he said angrily. “Without even telling us.”Nolan’s eyes widened slightly. “What…?” he trailed off, looking directly at Cole, who simply shrugged, almost as if he had done nothing wrong.“Can you stop making it seem like I did a bad thing when in reality, I was just trying to help?” Cole said, his voice defensive. “I was thinking about how it would be just your girlfriend alone among all the boys. I thoug

“I know what you’re about to say, and I want you to know that I have the money I’m about to give you. I already have a better job, I drive a car now, and I’m making enough money,” Nolan added quickly, as if to get ahead of any objection Gabriel might have.Gabriel shook his head slightly, a frown forming on his face. “I don’t think I can let you do that, Nolan. You don’t even know her. She’s my girlfriend. I should be the one to pay for all her expenses.”Nolan waved a hand dismissively. “It doesn’t matter. We’re friends, and I know how much you and Cole have done for me. Let this be the small way I can pay you back. I’m really sorry about your job. And I know that if you hadn’t lost it, it would have been easy for you to handle things for your girlfriend yourself.”Gabriel still looked unconvinced. He wasn’t entirely sure Nolan actually had the money to cover all the costs, and yet he realized he had no real choice but to believe him. If he refused Nolan’s help now, he would be in an
