“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

“You chased my friends away. Do you even know that?” Debby said angrily as she turned to Nolan. Nolan simply rolled his eyes. He couldn’t believe she was even saying that in the first place and the accusation sounded ridiculous to him.“I didn’t chase your friends away, Debby.” He said calmly as he took a slow sip of the wine in front of him. “They literally left on their own.”“No, they didn’t.” Debby shot back immediately. “You didn’t have to be rude to them. You pushed them away with the things you said, which weren’t even necessary.”“They deserved it.” Nolan replied with a shrug, completely unbothered. “And before you attack me again, you need to understand something. Those same friends of yours were already planning to leave because they didn’t want to be asked to drop money for the meal and the room. They didn’t care about how we wanted to sort out the bill at all.”He paused briefly, then continued. “In case you don’t know, any real friend would have at least waited behind to

“Where are you going?” Debby asked immediately as soon as Cherry and her friends stood up to leave, confusion written all over her face.“Are you supposed to be asking us that question, Debby?” Cherry shot back sharply. “Of course we’re leaving, because there’s no reason for us to be here anymore.”Debby laughed nervously, clearly uncomfortable. “What do you mean there’s no reason for you to be here anymore? We literally just started eating.” Debby replied, looking from Cherry to the others, unsure of what was happeningCherry let out a tired sigh, folding her arms. “You know what, Debby. I won’t sugarcoat what I’m about to say, because to be honest, today has not been good at all. Just take a proper look at this whole mess. Your boyfriend is mad at Nolan because he chased James away, and that’s only because James was the only person here who could actually pay the bills.”“It’s so obvious that your boyfriend can’t pay this money, and before he puts all of us in further embarrassment,

“This is all your fault, Nolan. Gabriel almost sneered at Nolan as he spoke, his voice loud and filled with anger. “This is happening because of you. James asked for the refund and left because you decided to piss him off. If you had just left him alone or kept quiet, things wouldn't have turned out this way at all.”Gabriel’s chest was rising and falling fast as he spoke. He couldn't stop himself anymore. The anger, fear and embarrassment were all mixing together inside him and pouring out at once.“Gabriel, what the hell are you talking about? Cole snapped at Gabriel immediately, clearly shocked. He had never seen Gabriel talk to Nolan like this before. This was very new and very uncomfortable to watch.“Have you forgotten the kind of person James is? Have you suddenly forgotten the things he had said to us earlier? Cole asked with a scoff, shaking his head in disbelief.“I'm not deaf, Cole. I literally saw everything happen.” Gabriel fired back, his voice rising. “We're used to peo

Nolan had expected the girls to leave with James after everything that had just happened, after all they had said, after the way they insulted him and called him names, and after seeing with their own eyes that he wasn't a thief or a pervert like they thought. But to his surprise, they didn't leave.They all sat back down and started eating as if nothing had happened, like they didn’t just humiliate someone and like they haven't just been proven wrong.Nolan shook his head slightly as he watched them. He waited and watched closely, expecting at least one of them to apologise or say something, anything at all, but none of them did. They just kept eating.Cherry was quiet because after seeing what had happened, she didn’t know what to say. The way James' father spoke to him, the way he shut him down without even hesitating.. She knew then and there that James no longer had a spot in his fathers company, and that realization hit her hard. It made her understand that James wasn't the kin

James fists tightened at his sides but he didn't say anything, and it wasn't that he couldn't but because his dad was still on the call and also because he was trying to watch what he says. “I think your dad just said you should hand the phone over to me.” Nolan continued, stretching his hand forward again. “So bring it.”He paused briefly and then added, his tone calm but sharp. “You wouldn't want him to disown you now, would you?”The words hit James hard. His chest tightened and his throat felt dry. He swallowed hard, his eyes darting briefly to the phone screen where his father was still glaring at him.Everyone around was completely shocked.Gabriel and Cole couldn't believe what they were witnessing. They started thinking to themselves about who Nolan really was and what kind of person could command this kind of authority so easily. Nolan didn't look nervous or look scared. He looked completely in control.The girls couldn't even process their thoughts. Their minds were blank a

“Does my father know about this?” James screamed again, his voice already hoarse from shouting. “Is he informed at all? Does he know that youre on this call right now? Does he know that youre sitting there making decisions without him!?”The managing director flinched slightly at the screen, clearly overwhelmed.“You need to calm down, James. He said, forcing his voice to remain steady. Just the way this came as a shock to you is the same way it is shocking. There have been some changes in the company and I'm really sorry about it.”“Please shut the hell up.” James snapped, his patience completely gone. “You can't be telling me this rubbish. That position belongs to me and me alone. Not to anyone else. This cant be happening. This is not possible.”He was yelling now, completely crashing out. His grip on the phone tightened so much his knuckles turned white. If not for the fact that the managing director was still on the call, he would have smashed the phone against the wall or stompe
