Mr. Derrick saw that the rumors have been quelled completely, people are no longer talking again. Robert is no longer useful to him again, he was serving as a pawn before. To him in life it was either you use or you get used and he had gathered a few pawns and discarded them off once he knows that they have lack their usefulness. He had told his family that it was up to them to decide what they want to do with Robert if he decides to show up, they can either cast him off or keep on treating him as the trash he is but that was none of his business any longer. Every one of them was excited about it, Mrs. Alice and Cassy were the most happy about the news, they decided to keep him until they no longer have usefulness for him again. They love to see him despair, that look on his face as they crush him, always give them joy and it always make their heart leap excitedly. A huge sinister smile appeared on Cassy face, she was looking forward to teaching Robert that a dog should always be
“Hundred million dollars?” Liam and lawyer Smith both asked in belief, they couldn’t believe their ears until he repeated it again. “Yes, hundred million dollars for this building” he affirmed and folded his hand across his chest looking at Mr. Jones awaiting his decision. “Hundred million dollars going…” Mr. Jones said and waited for a few minutes after getting no response from Sam who was gritting his teeth and folding his fist in anger. “Sold to Mr. Robert” Mr. Jones said and signaled for his lawyer to pull out the documents. “How can someone looking like a piece of trash as you be able to win over me in a bid over this house?” Sam asked angrily, walking to Robert with his fist folded and aiming for the latter’s head. He was fast and before anyone could react, Robert caught his punch in mid-air and turned to look at him with cold eyes. He twisted the arms, breaking some part of his bones, Sam let out a yell. He was surprised at how his day is turning horrible. He lost out som
Robert was all dressed up the next day, he was putting on a hoodie and a no0se mask to prevent anyone from recognizing him in the public and he was walking with a blonde haired guy, Liam. Liam is Hazel’s older brother, he is almost the same height as Robert, he was just like an inch or two shorter than Robert. “Ok, here we are, I’ve got a few more that are suitable for what my sister explained to me but let’s start with this one first” Liam said, standing with his hands holding his waist. Robert took a long look at the empty vast land before him, it was located in the streets. “Nah, I don’t want this one” Robert said after a long while, his hands were deep in his pockets. “Hazel told me you are an expert at stuff like this. I want to build a restaurant and I want the place where it will be more noticeable and be able to attract more customers. “Well, this is the cheapest but the least among the ones I have picked out for us to check out today. “How many have you picked out?” Rob
Robert woke up from his sleep, yawning and stretching, he heard a knock and he stood up wondering who might be there. He dragged his feet as he walked towards the door. He barely sleep in the afternoon like this at his in-laws house, except they have all gone out. He peeked from the door to check who was there, he opened it immediately he saw that it was none other than Hazel, he ushered her in and shut the door immediately after she had come in. She was no longer in the customized shirt of the hotel and the black skirt that stopped a little below her mid-thigh, she was now clad in a black top that stopped just above her belly button and a blue high waist ripped jeans, that hugged her body tightly, showing all her curves. She sat on the chair in the room while he sat on the one bed. “Should I order you anything?” Robert asked. “No” she said waving her hand. “Well, I have still got wine” he said and walked to the table, pouring some of the content from the bottle to the wine glass
Robert laid on his bed, days had passed since he had been in the hotel. He had ordered a few new clothes, he hadn’t stepped his foot out of the hotel room, he was still planning on staying hidden, he did not want any of his in-laws to find him because they would drag him back. He had been coming up with different ideals for the business, he had planned on buying a land and building a restaurant but he don’t know where to get a land that would in the particular place where the business would be booming and he also need a chef that would be in charge of the cooking. He don’t know anybody that is really good at getting the ideal land and a good chef, he rubbed his temple with his eyes closed lost in thoughts. Robert had written out parts of the food from the book, the ones he wants to be selling in his restaurant. He haven’t even found a name for the restaurant, a loud groan escaped his throat. “Shit!” he cussed in frustration, he didn’t know how to go about it. He was really lost on
Robert came out of the bathroom with a towel tied around his waist whistling loudly, his hair was wet and few strands of it glued to his face. There had been few not too obvious development on his body since he had that dream and woke up with a dragon tattoo on his arm. He could feel an immense power surging in his body and his chest had become slightly bigger with his abs now tightened. He laid on the bed and picked up the book that the old man, Mr. Lucian had given him, glancing through the pages, he could see a lot of things apart from the medicinal and flavor filled food, it was also filled with tips and how to dos of industries, there were more than one. Robert lips stretched to a full smile, the number of times he had smiled today was a lot more than the times he had smiled in his entire life. “I will come and find you when you are at the top, you are destined for greatness” the words of the man echoed in his head, the man had told just when he was about to leave. “I am goin
Robert walked out of the hospital with a smile on his face, he remembered walking into the hospital yesterday with dirty clothes and without a cent but now he is coming out of the hospital with a debit card containing hundreds of millions and something with the potential of making ten times the money in his debit card and he was putting on a new cloth for the second time in his entire life, he was always wearing the clothes that his brothers in-law were tired of.He pinched himself continuously to confirm whether this was all a dream or not because none of this feels real, his smile widened the more as he felt the pain. He was thinking of going home now to meet his in-laws but he kicked against the idea, he no longer need them in his life any longer. "Ummm... It would be best to spend the day in the hotel and decide the next step that I need to take with this money" he muttered and walked to the nearest ATM machine to withdraw money to board a taxi that will take him to a luxurious h
Robert followed the men outside, the driver was walking by his right hand side while two heavily built men in uniforms were walking behind them. There were another bodyguards standing on each sides of the door putting on the same uniform as the one walking behind them. One of the bodyguards standing by the door, pushed it open and ushered the both of them in with a slight bow, Robert and the driver both went in while the two bodyguards stayed behind. A smile played at Robert's lips at the executive treatment he had been getting since yesterday evening till this morning. Every beat of his heart was with joy, Robert was marveled, being treated as a VIP sure has its perks and he was loving the treatment. He heard a slight cough that jolted him out of his thoughts, he had been engulfed deeply in his thoughts that he had walked into the room subconsciously and forgotten why he came. The old man who was on the bed, sat up slightly, a drip was connected to his right hand, his face had few
