Nolan looked at James with a calm but pointed expression. “So, I’ll suggest this,” he said slowly, making sure James understood every word. “Cherry can pay you your money in installments. She can also sign an undertaking that she would be paying you weekly and for no reason should she miss any of the days she promises to pay.”James scoffed loudly, crossing his arms. “I don’t think I like that idea,” he said sharply, glaring at Nolan. “Why should I agree to that? When she spent the money, she spent it all at once. So why should I collect it in bits? It makes no sense at all.”Nolan raised an eyebrow, a faint smirk playing on his lips. “But she doesn’t have any money to pay you right now,” he replied calmly. “So you clearly have nothing else to do except accept this offer.”James’s jaw tightened, and he opened his mouth to argue, but Nolan’s confident tone and the truth in his words left him with nothing to say. He knew Nolan was right. There was no other way he could get the money fro

James turned to the touts who were still dragging Cherry roughly.“Carry on with what you were doing,” he said coldly, completely ignoring Debby as he turned his back on her.“No… no… please, Debby, save me!” Cherry cried out desperately. “Don’t let them take me away. Please help me!”Debby started to panic. Her heart raced as she watched Cherry struggle in their grip. She didn’t know what to do anymore. She looked back at Gabriel and Nolan, then back at Cherry, then again at Nolan and Gabriel. Her eyes were filled with fear and confusion.Suddenly, she ran toward Nolan.“Nolan, please do something,” she begged. “You can’t let them take Cherry away like this.”But to her shock, Nolan said nothing. His face was cold and unreadable, as if everything happening in front of him meant nothing to him.Debby turned to Gabriel immediately. “Gabriel, please talk to Nolan. He can do something about this. He shouldn’t let them take Cherry away. Only God knows what they will do to her.”Nolan roll

“No… no… that can’t be possible,” Cherry said in shock. Her body started shaking. “Daddy, try to talk to them. This can’t happen.”Her mind was spinning. He had just called her earlier and told her that investors were already sending mails. She had been so happy and relieved. And now, all of a sudden, they were pulling out again? She was confused, this was too much.She started sweating heavily as her hands trembled. The noise she could hear over the phone only made it worse.“I have to go now, Cherry,” her dad said quietly. “I’ll talk to you later.”Before she could say anything else, the call ended.“Dad… dad… no… wait…” Cherry said desperately, staring at her phone. But there was no response. He had already ended the call.Her heart sank.“So, what’s going on?” James asked coldly the moment he noticed she was done with the call. “Am I getting my money or not?”“I… I…” Cherry stammered, her lips trembling. She didn’t know what to say.“This girl isn’t ready to pay me my money,” Jame

“Please,” Cherry cried out, her voice shaking, “you need to stop this madness, James. I don’t have that kind of money to pay you back. Also, you decided to spend that money on me yourself. I didn’t force you to do it. So why are you doing this to me?”Her words came out rushed as tears gathered in her eyes.James scoffed loudly. “Oh, yes, you’re right about that,” he said coldly. “You didn’t force me to spend that much on you. But you only came to use me for my money. How can I spend such an amount on you, and the next thing you’re saying is that we can no longer be seeing each other? Then you blocked me everywhere.”He stepped closer to her, his face filled with anger. “You think I’m just going to let that go? I only spend my money on girls I believe would end up with me. So since we’re not ending up together, pay me back my money. Immediately.”Cherry didn’t know what to say anymore. She knew she had messed up badly. She knew she was wrong, but that didn’t change the fact that she c

James was shocked when he realized that the person Cherry was holding onto was Nolan. His eyes widened slightly before his face darkened. How could her boyfriend be Nolan, of all people? He clearly remembered the first time Cherry and Nolan had met. That meeting at the restaurant was supposed to be the last time they ever crossed paths. Yet here they were. It hadn’t even been long since that day, and they were already dating. The thought alone made James furious.If Cherry’s boyfriend had been any other guy, he wouldn’t have cared this much. He would have laughed it off and continued with what he planned. But the fact that it was Nolan made his blood boil. It felt insulting and felt personal.At the same time, James couldn’t ignore what had happened at the restaurant between Nolan and his father. That incident had been burned into his memory. From that moment, James knew Nolan wasn’t as ordinary as he looked. There was something about him. Something dangerous. Someone whose power he c

But Cherry needed to be sure. She needed closure. So she decided to see James one last time.Luckily for her, James agreed to meet her gladly. He took her out, they ate together, and after that, he took her shopping. Cherry bought a lot of things, pretending everything was fine. Then they went to a bar, where Cherry made sure James drank a lot. She waited patiently until he was drunk enough, then she asked him again about the managing director position.James told her the truth. Everything that happened that day was real. He no longer had any say in his father’s company and hat was the closure Cherry needed.She excused herself, telling him she was going to the bathroom, and left him there at the bar. When she got home, she sent him a message, telling him it was over between them and that he should never contact her again.Since then, she had been avoiding James completely.To her, both James and Nolan were no longer needed in her life. In her eyes, they were both poor losers.James,

“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
