2026-02-07 05:53:04I don't know much about business but I was smart to know which company owns the R&B contract.
As it rained cat and dog, I can't help but think of how I was going to enter the most guarded company in the city. I curled up in my wet damp coat as I tried to battle to best rain. It almost looked like the heaven felt I was useless afterall. I had never seen so humiliated In my entire life. I had given. everything to a family that never loved me. A wife who thinks I was nothing but a loafer. As I walked into the rain to find shelter I saw a man wandering aimless in the middle of the road. A flash headlight shown towards him and I dashed forwards immediately. Crash! " Call the ambulance!" " Call 911." That was the last thing I heard before I passed out. ****************************************************************** [ PASSED OUT FOR THREE WEEKS ] I groaned in pains the moment I woke up. The beeping sound of the machine right behind me added to my dull ache. I held my head like it was going to burst from the pain but then my gaze swept real quick round the room. " Where am I?" I let out slowly The room was serene. Beautiful and were arranged. The curtain added to the gentle dull view and the furnitures were neatly arranged. Memories of what happend last flooded my head. I was trying to say a man and the next sound I heard was me taking the hit. Was I dead? I was trying to figure it out when the door opened. A young woman with a tray walked in. Crash! " He is awake! The man is awake!" she shouted and dashed out of the room. My gaze went to the crashed tray and the broke cup. I felt a numb thrust at the back of my throat and I immediately wanted some water. Then, I tried to get off the bed but I couldn't. My heat raised. " Am I crippled?" I asked almost with tears tugging at the back of my eyes. The door opened and a man in white rob walked in. " Ah! Our young saviour." he said smiling. " We thought you were.." I snapped my finger immediately. It was a charisma I didn't know I was having. The door stopped like a puppet being controlled by a puppeteer. " How long have I been out for?" I asked staring at him " Three Weeks." he replied I ran my hand over my hair. It was almost like I was hearing the impossible. " No way. I was suppose to get the R&B contract. That was my ticket to saving my marriage." I said with tears. The doctor looked at me perplexed. " Everything is going to be alright, Mr. All I need to do now is check your vitals and make sure you don't have..." "Don't have what? Tell me doctor, why can't I walk? I can't feel my legs." I said with tears My heart beat fast and my body shook greatly. I can't believe I just became another liability right after my family's wife cast me out. " You need to calm down. We can manage this situation. You took a great blow the moment you jumped into the road to save the old man." At that moment, tears rolled down my face. Regret. Yes, maybe. I should have turned a blind eyes. Pretended like I never saw him in the middle of the road. I was fighting my own demon and maybe he was too. I should have mind my business. [ High pitch Sound ] The doctor kept talking and talking but then, I was lost in my own thoughts. Were do I begin from? Was she going to accept me back now that I was crippled? What do I tell them? That I have been gone for three weeks only to come back home a crippled. I shake my head slightly. This was slowly the end. " Mr Daniel." The doctors loud voice and his hands snapped in the air brought me back. " Can I see the man I had sacrificed all for? Where is he?" I asked " I am sorry, Mr Daniel but the man couldn't make it. His heart gave out right there in the middle of the road." the doctor said slowly I laughed. This has to be some cruel joke. I gave my all again and yet the man I chose to give it for die. " So what is going to happen to me?" I asked with my lips curved in anger. " Well, a good Samaritan saw what happend and decided to help. She made sure to pay the bills and asked that you are to be allowed to go home once you are awake but rest assured you don't need to worry about the bills. She paid it all." the doctor said assuringly " Do you think I care about that? Do you think I care who the fuck paid the bills? I was supposed too.." I clenched the bedsheet I laid on. Tears rolling down my eyes. The doctor stared at me and for a moment I could feel his pity. I don't know if crying makes aan weak but this was not something I had control over. " I was supposed to get the contract to save my marriage. I.." I gulped again "Linda must have waited. How do I face her? What do I tell her? That I failed again? That I came back a pathetic loser again? How am I supposed to live when I am being thrown out of the house?" The doctor kept silent. His gaze filled with unspoken words. " I am sorry you have to go through all of this, Mr Daniels. But this is out of my hands there is nothing I can do. You will be wheeled out of here in less than an hour. Please get ready to go back home." " Home?" I said softly feeling the weight of my word. I knew there was nothing to go back to. I was lost yet again.

A Hold In Plan
I was sure Linda and her family were slowly going to have realised what hit them by now. I didn't only took away their hope but I took something else. I made sure all their existing contract was stopped. It was a clear message they were not really going to expect. I woke up very early the following day. The R&B contract was going to be announced that morning. I woke up but still, I felt like I was missing something very important. My mind went back to what my father had told me. Whatever he meant that night means war was coming. I need to be ready but first, Linda and her family were going to bow at my feet. I was going to make them. I heard a knock on my door, making me flinch alittle. " Who is that?" I said gently getting out of bed. " Laura." Her voice was hard to miss. Ever since she was assigned to me, I had loved her. Laura was efficient and she does things without me telling her too. " Come in." I said walking towards the golden sunlight that filte
Taking back what matters
I was still in shock. It all happened to fast. The loud sound of the camera shutters and the way media's swarm across to take exclusive pictures. One of the reporters moved closer, " A question Mr Dan Donald." he said quickly shoving the microphone in my face. My guards looked at me and I nodded. " Ain't you married to Linda Sinclair? What happened between you two?" he asked I looked at him and back at the camera. "She thought I was useless. A thrash to be discarded but now, I am going to make her realise what she lost." I said with a grin. " Are you saying you are getting revenge against her family?" he asked again" No. I am going to make them pay for humiliating me. For making me feel worthless and for everything I had been through for the last ten years. They are going to feel my pain." Those were my last words before I got into the car and zoomed off into the night. I looked at my personal assistant who smiled. " You did good out there sir." she said with a smile. " Here i
Blood Never Lies
The room felt suffocating for me. I could barely breath. It is strange to see how just one letter could change the fate of man. My fate. The brown envelope felt heavier than it looked.The doctor stood still, his face unreadable, like a man who had delivered too many life-changing results to be impressed by one more. Mac Donald did not rush him. He only stretched his hand slowly, the way a man does when he already knows the answer but still fears hearing it.“Give it to me,” he said.The doctor handed him the envelope and stepped back.I watched Mac Donald’s fingers slide under the flap. My chest felt tight. My leg, the useless one, throbbed faintly like it was reacting to the tension in the room. I swallowed hard and held onto the arm of the chair.He pulled out the paper.The silence was loud.His eyes scanned the document once.Then again.He stopped breathing for a second. I noticed it because I was doing the same.Slowly, his lips curved—not a smirk this time, not a playful g
Fate
Before I could say a word, the strange doctor had already inserted the syringe and was taking a sample of my blood. I said nothing but waited till he was done.“All done, Mr Dan. I will leave you to continue your conversation with Mr Donald,” he said and walked out.The room grew even more tense.I wheeled around to get a good angle of this old mystery man. “You want to tell me what that was all about?” I asked.He looked at me and smirked.“You don’t look dumb, Dan. I believe you are a smart man. Why don’t you do the guessing?” he said almost immediately.I watched him walk over to the wine shelf. He turned slightly. “Scotch?”“Water is fine,” I replied sharply.“You are going to need something more than water for what is coming next,” he said again.His words were making me jumpy, but still, I tried to calm my nerves.“Why am I really here?” I asked again.“Because he said you are my son,” he replied.This was where I felt lost.“You mean you are not sure if I am your son?” I asked
Mixed Feelings
Just when you are down things began to work in your favour. For a moment, I could not believe what he just called me. No one has ever referred to me with a title. I was used to being called name. Names that never really mattered. Names that I was being branded with. The title ' Young Master' felt foreign. The gate keeper looked at me again and back at the man in suit. " You must be mistaken, Sir. The man here is..." he stuttered. " The man here is the lost son of Mac Donald." he said with a smile. " Mac Donald? But that is..." the gate keeper looked at me and back at the man. I was still dazed. I could barely believe what the doctor was saying. I looked back at the family that had ridiculed me. At the house that has thrown me out without a second thought. " Please, your family is waiting." the doctor said. I was led into the black silk limousine. As the car roared into life, I looked back with anger. Linda and her family were going to suffer every s
The Revelation Of True Power
There is an adage that says, " When life beats you down, then you get up on your feet." This was not for me. Life has delt a great blow to me. I was not only down but I was weak. The cab that carried me stopped right in front of my wife's home. The taxi-driver was so kind to help me get into my wheelchair. " Thanks." I said with a bitter voice, my hand slowly clutching the reels of the irons. " You welcome, Mr. It is not the end of the world." he said with a soft smile. It was not. But it was the end of my life and even my marriage. I don't need to be told that. As I wheeled myself towards the family I called mine, I could hear the loud noise of music. Not just any music. Was that a party or a wedding preparations?My heart jumped. I panicked and that made me even wheeled faster. I got to the gate in time to see canopies here and there. White chairs being arranged in a lovely and orderly manner. The gate keeper saw me and he was shocked. " Mr Dan?" he called slowly. " We
