CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO“I knew it! You owe me your salary for this week.” Norah said victoriously with a smile on her face. She was not only happy that she had won her bet, she was also happy that the shabby looking fellow who came to disturb the peace of the hotel would be dealt with accordingly.The silence which lasted for almost a minute was overshadowed by the voices of the observes who mumbled inaudible words. Some laughed and jeered at Marcus , which some others cured at him for being a thief and trying to use another person’s debit card claiming that it was his.“Oh the delight I would have from battering you out of this place.” Said the guard as he made a move to raise his baton against Marcus but Leonard raised his hand to signal him to a stop.“Before you do that, I would have to take the precious card from him before it is ruined in the process.” Leotard said with a smile showing that his plans were falling in place.“I told you this fool was a fraud didn’t I?”The words spo

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOURThe lady remained silent for a while unable to say her name. The fear on her face was glaring as her hands continued to shake.“Didn’t you hear him? Speak up now or have your body whipped!” Timon said angrily raising his right hand as though he was about to hit her.“Hilda! Hilda, my name is Hilda!” She said with a panic holding on to her chest and bending her head with her eyes closed from the moment she saw the huge hand rise above her. She gradually opened them when she waited for a few seconds and no hand touched her. At that point, she had already let out a shrilling cry.“Hilda? That’s a nice name.” Marcus said with a smile, then he turned towards the dog who has been quiet for a while.“You have a cute dog Hilda.”“Thank you sir. His name is Milo.” She said unable to raise her face to look at the man who had a strangely calm attitude that was accompanied with a constant smile that refused to leave his face.“We had a deal Hilda and I love to obey every rul

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIXThe guard was speechless, his courage had already left him a long time ago when the Hotel Manager hit him standing by the corner and having watched as others were dealt with, he could only wish that his condition could be lighter.“What’s your name Mister?” Marcus asked taking a step forward towards the guard.“Blake Sir.” He responded without lifting his head. His entire body was itching me as sweat poured down from all the pores in his body. His breathing was heightened and his hand shook to the sound of his heartbeat which had no plans of stopping.“Blake? That’s a very good name.” Marcus said smiling, then he covered up the little space between them and placed his right hand on Blake’s shoulder making him to whimper as he saw the hand going down thinking that Marcus was about to hit him.“Such a big for nothing baby. He already yelps even without being touched.”“I wonder what his punishment would be.” The man responded to his business partner still holding o

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT“Hello Mr Warren , I have a complaint to lay and I think you should really relate to Lord Wilson.” Hank said with so much confidence, but his words only made Timon to burst out in deep laughter while Marcus smiled and gave a slight nod.Hank seemed very much surprised by the unexpected reaction he was getting from Timon and the other man who he didn’t think really mattered, but even in the midst of the confusion that was building gradually inside of him, he still insisted on going ahead with his plans.He listened to what Warren said and nodded in agreement making gestures at Timon with his left hand to tell him that his plans were in motion.“Yes Mr Warren , I have a video record of a man who was causing so much nuisance in the Royal Chambers hotel this night while Mr Timon stood there and did absolutely nothing. He even let the man humiliate the Assistant Manager and two staff members.” Hank said with full confidence and so much pride laced in his tune. He r

CHAPTER FORTYMarcus looked at the luxurious car parked outside the hotel through the glass window at the corner, he wasn’t really sure if it was a good idea for him to go back to the Sterling residence with it, but on a second thought, an idea came to him.“Very well Mr. Timon, it was really nice being here.”“No problem young master. It was a pleasure hosting you.” Timon said to Marcus , then he escorted him outside the hotel to the spot where the car was parked.Marcus was glad that there were just very few people around while he stepped out, the very thought of being seen by anyone who could disclose his identity bothered him as he scoured the entire environment carefully while he walked.The Chauffeur opened the door to the white Porsche for Marcus before he got in with Timon standing right at the corner and waiting patiently.The Chauffeur soon after got into the driver’s seat and drove off as the sleek car reflected the resplendence of the early morning sunlight.The ride fr
