The sound of footsteps emerging from the massive complex of Apex Ventures was accompanied by sighs of relief, smiles of anticipation, and contorted faces from hours of diligence and screen time. The ambiance was no clearer than it was that morning. Everyone was in a hurry to leave the building. Everyone but one man. A fine man. Tall, slim like an athlete, and with the perfect jawline and golden eyes that always beckoned for a second stare. The sun beamed on his face, his smile flourished even with the fatigue that had engulfed him, causing him to almost lumber. His black uniform was drenched, clinging to his body and showing the sharp edges of his muscles. He was Brian Regal- ordinary on the outside, but with a deep secret just like a man on a mission. “Mr. Regal!” A commanding voice called out, impatient and irritated. It belonged to a young man in a sleek black suit, his strong cologne way ahead of him. “Where is that lousy security guard?” He scanned

Brian was infuriated, gnashing his teeth as his eyes kept on burning with rage.“You both are going to regret this!” He pointed at them one after the other, but they called his bluff. They laughed so hard that they began to cough, almost losing their balance. “I already said it, Brian…” Romeo stated, taking a deep breath.“You are a clown, and I think starting a career as a Stand-up comedian is going to suit you…” “Damn right!” Pearl nodded in agreement, refusing to get rid of her mockery. “Romeo is ten times the man you will ever be, Brian. The earlier you understand that this marriage is over, the better for you.” Brian felt another deadly sting inside his chest, a hot agony that burned inside his chest. His mouth refused to close, yet he was dumbfounded. “I think it’s time for you to leave, Brian…” Pearl said, her voice reeking with peskiness. “Give us some privacy. I still need to cum.” Brian watched her come closer, and before he could say a word, she h

“I just came to take my belongings…” Brian explained, calm as the wind. Pearl scoffed, and then she looked down at the belongings Brian talked about. “I think you should hurry and leave us. We don’t want you infecting us with your wretchedness.”The other ladies laughed, sneering as they watched Brian bend to gather his belongings. He held onto the bag and the picture tightly, and then he took a deep breath. Pearl stepped forward, and then she slid her hand into her purse. “Here…” She handed a cheque to Brian, disdain still glittering in her eyes.“That’s a cheque of one million dollars, Brian. That’s more than you will ever make in five years. Romeo was generous enough to give it to you. That should be enough for your troubles and keep you away from me forever.”“I don’t want your money,” Brian stated causing the ladies to gasp.Then they laughed, mockery laced in their amusement. “What an idiot!” Nelly grunted, disgust written all over her face.“How can you be br

Photographers, Journalists, and over a hundred observers flooded toward the premises of Prime Tech Company, clamoring to get close to the entrance. The security was tight, guards lined up across several areas with the necessary tools to keep uninvited guests out of the building. That meant that only authorized individuals were allowed to go in- individuals who matched the kind of caliber of people who deserved to be in that kind of setting.Prime Tech was the biggest Tech Company in the City, operating vastly with several branches across the continent. It was hosting the most flamboyant party, but merriment was not just the order of the day.Something big was going on. Something that could change the lives of minor companies, and everyone wanted a piece of the cake. five hundred billion dollars over the two hundred billion was up for grabs, and the companies with the best business proposals were going to grab it. CEOs, Managers, CMDs, and any other person who thought the

“You are insane!” Pearl fired, pointing Brian to the face. The only reason why she didn’t go any further was because of the crowd. Their argument had already drawn more attention after the unsettling revelation. She managed to get a grip on herself, and then she exhaled sharply before she spoke with a low tone. “You have a wife now, Brian. Why don’t you just sign the freaking papers and we will never have to see each other again?” She waited, but Brian was taking his time to speak. Then he cleared his throat and muttered; “What’s the fun in that? The answer still remains no, Pearl.” “You bastard!” Pearl advanced toward him, but Arya stepped in the way, ready to push her. “Don’t you dare call my husband names. If he says he is not giving you a divorce, then that’s it.” Pearl gasped, turning to Romeo at once. “Did you hear that?” She demanded his intervention, but he was too dumbstruck to even say a word. Pearl was forced to return her gaze to Brian, h
