POWER ISN'T DECIBELS
Kane spun.“Where is the manager of this place!!” His voice carried through the room as though the manager was watching in the midst of the onlookers. His tone was commanding, startling some people.A little girl startled to his voice and her ice cream fell from her hand. She didn't look at the ice cream which pooled on the floor but at the face of the man, wondering who..what human..and what gene made up his system.Terry laughed, shaking his head. He stepped closer to Kane and looked him from head to toe, taking in his embodiment.He hummed, nodding his head with an amusing smile on his lips.“Louis Vuitton... impressive.” He said as his eyes landed on his shoe.He looked up, held the golden chain that catches the light around his neck.He shook the chain gently, flaunting it. “Do you know how much this cost? Huh? You can't because this costs more than your entire miserable life. Twice!" He landed carelessly, voice loud like a speaker.Some people gasped in surprise of his uncauti
ELECTRIC SHOCK
“Who do you think you are?” Mr. Dursley laughed, unbothered.Kane didn't respond. He didn't need to. He turned and lowered his body before Anna, held her arms and pulled her up gently.Anna resisted though, tears spilling more and heartbreaking sobs muffled her voice.“Let..let me plead..they won't forgive me..this job is my life...” Mucus rolled from her nose. Her small make-up had ruined and her face was a mess of tears and Mucus.Kane pitied her and it only fueled his anger more. They'll pay.“Your boyfriend here thinks he's someone...But I'm sorry to burst his—” His phone buzzed, cutting him off.“Who the heck is that!" He said, pulling out the phone from his pants pocket.Immediately his eyes fell on the screen, his composure shifted and his attitude relaxed. He blinked, cleared his throat and took few steps away from the loud place.Terry on the other hand resumed, throwing tantrums at Kane. The crowd laughed. The hall buzzed, light flicked and phones didn't drop from the air.
DAYS BACK
Kane continued, voice smooth with no ounce of proudness. “$2 million dollars will be transferred to your account. Restitution fee. And—” He looked around.“If any male workers here or even customers should raise a hand on any female....” He paused, allowing the crowd to think. About consequences. As if the gravity of what he would do would surpass the one they just witnessed.Anna almost collapsed with shock and gratitude. She wanted to crumble to her knee and start a continuous rhythm of ‘Thank you.’ But kane pulled her up and smiled at her.“I simply did what should have been done.” He tapped her shoulder gently, saying. “Handle things here well. You can take two weeks break. Someone would handle things pending the time you'll be much okay.”With that, he turned and walked out.The hall was still under quietness.Then a clap. Then two..Others joined and hall buzzed, echoed with claps of admiration and bravery. No one knew who the man in minimalist suit was but his quiet influence
LUCKY DAY
Kane stared into the letter, grasping some Digits into memory. He nodded his head gently as though he comprehended what the letter entails.Mr. Robert tucked the paper into his shirt pocket immediately Kane gave it back.Kane fished out his phone immediately. The car slowed down a bit as his focus shifted behind the steering and the screen.He tapped, fingers moving casually with purpose.Mr. Robert looked out, thinking.. probably about the house rent he couldn't pay yet..or how his family would go hungry yet again that night.Then—Buzz!It was at the Moment Kane lowered his phone too, his expression neutral yet unreadable.The vibration was like an electric pulse, jerking Mr. Robert's slight from the grim thought. His heart pounded once— sharp and hard against his rib cage...it could be a red flag from the bank again...or his wife just messaged; Lousy landlord had started abusing them and their stuff would be outside in no time...it is always bad news. With hands shaking slightly,
KANE AT ALMOND UNIVERSITY
It was Anna, the staff from Neura Tech.Her voice was small but loud with hearthwarming gratitude.Kane smiled, phone pressed to her ear and the other hand handled the steering wheel.Mr. Robert on the other hand was still battling with his emotions.Kane's eyes lifted, a gentle smile curled his lips.“Dinner? Your place..oh...” He paused, processing his thoughts. He was surprised.Anna had invited him for dinner at her place, to further show her gratitude.Kane's lips pursed slightly thin as he was thinking about accepting or turning her down politely but the tone her voice carried was almost too calm... pleading..and desperate to express her gratitude further.Though Kane merely did everything out of his kindness and to mend her broken pride...but turning people down... even politely might make them feel awkward.“Alright.. Let's see.” He simply said and the line dropped Dead.Mr. Robert couldn't handle his own emotions. The tears were actually still spilling from his eyes.He snif
WILD CONFRONTATION
Kane settled into the swivel chair, eyes locked on the man in his front. It wasn't a kind look but the kind of gaze that makes people wonder why?And Nathaniel Miles? He stared back without fluttering lashes. It was more of a knowing encounter— a challenge as though the men had past scores to settle. It wasn't just a visit. Not even close.Kane turned, expression calm but eyes burning with quiet rage.“And you think you're the Abel? Innocent?”Nathaniel laughed, dangerously. He tapped a pen on a desk, slow and calculated. It wasn't just a pen and that was when he pulled a small flap on it. Silver, sharp and deadly. A penknife.Gently, he took it closer to his face, a gentle but deadly half–smile on his face as he brushed his thumb over the smooth edge as though he was testing the sharpness.Kane was slightly surprised. A university president with such a silent deadly weapon. This man sitting before him could definitely kill with a book.But his confidence didn't wash. He stared back
MYSTERIOUS MAN
Nathaniel Miles laughed. It was cold, presumptuous and amused.“You're bluffing! Get lost Mr. Financial aid!” He spat, slumped back into his seat.Kane paused again and turned, his hand lightly resting on the Door knob. He stared back at him. Then laughed. Not the kind of Nathaniel's laugh. It was small. The kind that makes people wonder if they're naked in public.“We'll see.” With that, Kane stepped out of the office.It wasn't only the breeze outside that hit him but someone almost hit him down along the corridor before he even took two steps forward.He straightened his spine, brushed dust off his suit. He stared in the direction of the man who ran into him. He's not a student.. only from his back view...or probably he's an adult student or maybe even a lecturer. Black trousers and white shirts.But Kane didn't linger long. He pushed aside the thought, striding to his car smartly.Someone needed to be taught a good lesson in a hard way. Nathaniel Miles is a scum. He's destroying
MIRACULOUS MAN
The phone nearly slipped from his grip.The voice of a female customer service smoothed out from the speaker of the phone.“Congratulations. Benson Walsh. You are now a VIP customer at GT Bank with the account balance of $2 million dollars!" Gasps!Mr. Benson's legs shook as though the weight of his body had suddenly became too heavy for his leg to hold.Was this a joke.With a wide jaw, the phone slipped from his ear and the screen lit up. The notification was there.GT Bank. Credit alert.He swallowed, the ambient noises from students faded in his ear and the four walls of the school seemed to close in on him.With a quivering hand and a heart thumping with belief and doubts, he tapped on the notification and there it was.The alert. In green. Zeros they stretched like eternity.Mr. Benson gasped loudly as though he had just been punched in the gut. The phone slipped from his hand out of the sheer shock of the astonishing discovery.CRACK.It hit the floor.Nearby students stared,
DINNER WITH ANNA'S FAMILY
Jaw apart and eyes wide, Mr. Robert stood in disbelief.“Kane?" The smile on Anna's face dropped slightly, disoriented by the moment.She turned to her father. "Do you know him Dad?" Mr. Robert Blinked. “He was the one that gave me the $2 million dollar.” He turned to his wife who looked really confused. “Honey, he's the miracle man I was talking about.”The expression on Kane's face mirrored the family's. He froze at the door. He thought he was coming to meet Anna but...He blinked, a small smile curling his lips. “Is she your daughter?" “Yes. She's is. You were the one she talked about?!” His voice was beginning to crack under his spilling emotions. “You gave my daughter $2 million dollars and even...manager! You did all that!"The man's feet nearly gave out. Fresh tears which he couldn't restrain began spilling from his eyes. She wiped it instantly.“Please..come in son. Come in.” Mrs. Robert quickly ushered Kane inside.Anna stopped at the side, wringing her fingers nervously
A BEAUTY AT NIGHT
Kane left Anna's resident that night, riding through the City.Nathaniel Miles had been arrested and things would be settled in the court. Almond must be back to its feet.As Kane turned into, a street, riding back to the mansion. The street was quiet, an evidence that time had gone and darkness had eerily bestowed on the surface regardless of the streetlights glowing like sentinels.Ahead, about 10 Km away, something caught Kane's eyes. He squinted.Two men with masks covering their faces were robbing a lady at the dark corner. Immediately his headlights shone on them, they hit the lady, snapped her bag and took on their heels.The lady stumbled back and hit her butt against the asphalt.Kane steered to the left and pulled over at the curb. He stepped down and hurried to the lady.She had fallen, and on her leg, she incurred a bruise from scratching the tarred road. Blood spilled from the injury.“Are you okay? We need to get out of here now . It's not safe here.” Kane said with conc
