“This can’t be possible,” Benjamin said with a crackling voice. His colleagues averted their gazes at him, they wondered why he yelled. Benjamin’s face turned gloomy as he glanced at his phone screen; his hand balled into a fist, and his grip tightened on his phone. A video of his girlfriend riding a man passionately was playing before his eyes. He felt a surge of pain and heartbreak, as he heard her moan in pleasure, without hesitation. Benjamin threw the hand towel away. His work as a janitor no longer matters at the moment, he ignored his colleagues who tried to talk to him. Benjamin flagged down a cab, his mind racing through several thoughts, each sending a shock wave within him, his heart shattered into a million pieces. Nora Murphy was the only lady he had loved; he had worked every single day of his life, and with all his salary, he made sure to divide it with her to make sure he provided for her. She was the only person who understood him; she stayed with him and love

Benjamin looked at her, he held a bottle of water and behind him was the family butler, Nick. On recognising the voice, she stared at him, her lips quivering. She blinked her eyelid twice to be sure. Benjamin kept a mild expression. He extended his hand to help her up, “I thought you had gone.” She muttered. “Oh! I was about to leave when I saw you. Is everything okay?” Ariana accepted his offer, and slowly, she got to her feet. For a moment, she tried to control her breath, her eyes darting from Benjamin to the bottle of water. “I am sorry, I was just thirsty and needed to wet my throat. I can have it replaced if you want.” He said flatly. Ariana shook her head, “It’s fine,” she sighed, “I need your help. Can you really help my grandfather? I don’t mean to be rude.” Benjamin sighed, “You have doubts, I can see it, but you need to trust me if you want my help.” “I am sorry for the way my sister treated you. Can you please follow me?” She paused. “You were right, my grandfather i

The following morning, after Benjamin was done meditating, he gulped the bottle of water beside him. He stayed in a small apartment with few things to his name, he freshened up and was going through his bag when a photograph fell from it. He took a glance at it, his heart trembled in emotion, and the image reminded him of his mission to Morristown. It was a photo of his younger sister who went missing. The little girl was with her father; on their way home, they had an accident with his father dying instantly while his sister went missing. Benjamin was nineteen years old, while his sister was just fifteen years old. He spent his last four years looking for her; he vowed not to return home until he found her. Many thoughts ran through his mind as memories of his past played before his eyes. The buzzing of his phone brought him out of his reveries. He glanced at the caller ID, and with a deep sigh, he answered the call. “Young master, your mother insists on having a meeting with y

“I am here to pick you up,” she muttered flatly. Benjamin hopped in as the car zoomed off. Meanwhile, Eva Penny was standing a few meters away. She felt a surge of anger seeing Benjamin in a car with a woman. She wondered what the lady saw in him. She hissed a sigh of frustration and disgust. “How is your father,” Benjamin asked. Ariana and Benjamin were both seated across from each other; he felt uneasy. The only woman he had sat with in the last few years was Nora, but sitting with Arianna felt different. Ariana was born into wealth, and she groomed herself to perfection. ”Dad is fine and doing great, better than the last few years. All thanks to you. ” she retorted, “although we are still investigating how he got poisoned.” Benjamin sipped his drink and nodded, “That’s good to know.” Ariana looked at him confused; she had a lot on her mind to spew. She didn’t know how to say them without getting Benjamin upset. “Do you like the wine?” She inquired. “Yeah,” She shifted f

Chapter 9 “Yeah, I am listening.” He replied softly. “Where did you get the bank card, and how did you learn to fight?” she asked while still keeping her eyes on the road. Benjamin was caught off guard by her question, and he sighed deeply. “Oh! The card. I got it after helping a dying man just the same way I helped your grandfather.” He lied. “My master taught me martial arts.” “If he accepted a card from someone, why then did he refuse to take anything from us?” She thought inwardly. “Your master must be a great martial artist.” She muttered. Benjamin nodded. A few hours ago, she thought he would be spending his time in the hospital but the unexpected happened. He humiliated Jeffrey and his gang, but her mind was restless. She was scared that Jeffrey would return to attack Benjamin. When they arrived at his apartment, the car came to a halt. Benjamin alighted from the car. “Mr. Scott, I am sorry for what happened. If you need anything you can contact me.” Her voice was smoot
