Chapter 1
The afternoon sun burns like Hell after Ten rejections from different Firms Benjamin had walked in that day."You have a good CV, but we need experience.""You have an outstanding grade, but there's no vacancy now.""We can consider you, for the position of the company's janitor."Benjamin let out a shaky breath after walking out of the tenth company, with sweat beading streaming from his face to his cheeks, his eyes were heavy with tiredness and the grim of the day. The ironed plain suit he wore that morning, the oversized one his friend inherited from his grandfather and gave him that morning for the interview had wrinkled, dust clung to the hem of the pants from trudging the street.Benjamin collapsed heavily into a roadside bench, the briefcase containing his file clattered beside him. His shoulder slumped, his head dropped like the weight of the rejections had just settled on his head."What kind of life is this?" He lamented his voice shaky with exhaustion. He blinked back at

Benjamin spun to meet his gaze, dauntless."No, you're the dog here," he snapped. "hanging around other people's women!James Sterling's blood boiled instantly. He'd never been insulted like this. As someone from one of the prestigious families in the city, he carried himself with a sense of untouchability."Are you mad!!" He bellowed.His hand shot out like a whip and landed clean on Benjamin's face. The impact thundered across the restaurant. TAAA!The Patrons gasped. Securities and staff members were already moving to stop the scene before it would spiral out of their control.Benjamin didn't take his time to nurse the pain on his cheek before he retaliated.His hand moved through the air fast, landing on James' arrogant cheek.TAAAA!!James stumbled back two steps and paused in shock. His palm pressed on his cheek as though he was contemplating if he had just been slapped. The restaurant gasped again.The restaurant fell into a fleeting silence while the tension flared. Red mark

The Call that changed everything came in at exactly Twelve O' Clock. Benjamin laid back on his small bed, his eyes fixed on the opened the bleached roof of his room, the event of the day still reeling in his mind.He sat up, glanced at the wall clock to check the time; 12am. His brow tightened with a deep frown."Who is calling by this time of the night?" He muttered, glancing at the buzzing phone on the nightstand beside the bed.He reached out for the phone to check the number. It was unfamiliar, typical nonsense of digits that he'd never seen before. His frown deepened."Scammers," he hissed. "God, don't these people sleep at all?" He disconnected the disturbing call angrily and placed the phone back on the nightstand and laid back on the bed, grumbling in irritation for the disturbance.Buzz! Buzz!The phone rang again."What the fuck!" He jolted up from the bed, snatched the phone and picked up the call to lash at the caller. "Are you people crazy? Don't you have a better job? G

The helicopter landed on top of a private helipad at the roof top of the monolithic one hundred storey building of the World bank.The bodyguards stepped down first before Rebecca Alejandro, and lastly Benjamin who was still trying to process what his reality was slowly transforming into.Benjamin and Rebecca Alejandro arrived at the top most floor of the World Bank( the hundredth floor). This place is only meant for people of the highest rank in the world. The security there is layered and it was only accessible by specific staff workers in the bank.Four safes glittered on the wall with a biometric fingerprint panel that could only be unlocked by just one person."Mr. Volvok, your fingerprint will be needed to open the safe." Rebecca Alejandro said gesturing at the finger prints panel on the safe. She stepped back considerably, her posture straight as a spear.Benjamin's heart raced with anticipation, his gaze fixed on the lock wondering what her mother kept behind the cold metallic

Chapter 5
The next morning came with the amber glow of the sunlight casting through the blind to the floor of Benjamin's cramped apartment. He didn't sleep throughout the night, his mind still contemplating if everything that happened that night was an illusion. He pushed his body up from the bed and pulled out the old drawer adjacent to the wall. The supreme card sat there, a quick reminder and confirmation that everything was real.A smile spread across his face.Benjamin pulled out his old phone and decided to call Desmond. Immediately the line connected, he could hear loud voices in the background. Desmond's voice distorted, engaging in frantic conversations with someone or some people."Hello, Desmond...Hey..speak to me..."Concern plastered across his face. Benjamin grabbed his old shirt and slid it on his body. Without waiting, he dashed out of the apartment with curiosity, wondering what was happening at Desmond's end.Benjamin burst into the compound where Desmond was living. He pau

Chapter 6
Benjamin walked outside the compound where he went to make a phone call. He returned back after he finished making the call that would shock everyone while Desmond kept urging him to let them leave as the tension in the air thickened like ice.Benjamin faced the caretaker with a fierce gaze."You still have one chance to go on your knees before Mr. Armando gets here with the house paperwork." The air held its breath for a second.Desmond stared at Benjamin with wide eyes as though the dude had gone mad.Then, the air rippled with a hysterical laughter. The caretaker doubles over, laughter crackling out from his mouth, his big stomach shaking like a balloon filled with water, some tenants collapse to the floor out of sheer amusement, their heads thrown back, spit flying in the air, tears bouncing off their eyes. "This young man is crazy? He bought this property? Is he on drugs?" "What a joke? I have never laughed like this in a long time." A woman clutch her stomach.Mr. Pay or lea

Chapter 7
To his friend he said, “let's pack your stuff, we are leaving this place now.”Moments later Desmond sat beside Benjamin at the back seat of the Taxi silently but his mind reeling, wondering where his friend got the money to buy Armando's property.Benjamin had paid $400k to Armando and he'd spoken about demolition and rebuilding like he wasn't the same guy he was sharing a plate of rice with the previous day.Unable to keep silent any longer as a million questions were popping up in his mind, he glanced at Benjamin."What the heck happened back there? I need an explanation that makes sense, Benjamin." He stared at him intently, his curiosity palpable.Benjamin looked at him. His back was relaxed, his expression calm. He wasn't looking like the guy who went through heartbreak the previous day. A gentle smile crossed his face."I will tell you everything when we get to our destination." He simply said, which further heightened Desmond's curiosity. "And where is our destination? You'r

Meanwhile, in another room in the Seven star hotel, Seven men sat around a rectangular table in pristine suits and serious expressions.At the end of the table, a young woman, Margaret Cross, thirty years of age, beautiful in the way art was beautiful; cold and untouchable, sat in front of the desk in an immaculate suit that fitted her body, her hair pulled back tightly, her back straight on the leather. Her presence commanded the room. Margaret Cross the heiress of the Cross Consortiums, an S- class family in the city. Being a S-class family equalized power and wealth.The men seated across from her were the seven executives of the Cross family. Margaret, being the only child of the late Amos Cross, was about to take over her father's inheritance and she had called her first meeting with the executives to announce the new authority.She leaned forward with both hands on the desk, a smart laptop buzzing in her front."Good evening everyone," she started, her voice sharp.
