“What’s going on here?” Maximus frowned, holding his portfolio in his armpit as he approached the family mansion.
His luggage was in front of the walkway, all his belongings were scattered as though there was a huge fight.“Thank goodness you are here!” The gasp of his father redirected his eyes to the happening location. Mr. Wayles Prime and his wife, Mrs. Wayles walked out from the mansion.“Father, what is happening here?” He asked, staring at them anxiously.“What does it look like, bastard? It is time to return to where you came from.” His father snorted with an annoying voice.“I don’t understand you, dad. I just left the house to check on my application for a job, is this something that could get you mad?” He tried to explain to him even though it felt so difficult to.“No, I don’t mean that place.” His father rolled his eyes sarcastically.“Then, where else?” He curled his lips.“Back to the orphanage where I picked you!” His father yelled at his face, angrily and he was taken aback in shock. His jaw dropped.“Father…” He couldn’t take in what he had heard. “My husband has spoken, that’s final. We are done with you and we want you out of our house, don’t piss me off because you have reached your brim to be considered.” Mrs. Wayles ranted in disgust.“This is my home, father. I have been here since I was born and I don’t know any orphanage.” He paused. “Everyone is against me, now, father. I can’t believe that even my own family is trying to abandon me.” He cried out sadly and what rested on his cheek was a dirty slap from his adoptive mother.“Family?” Mr. Wayles laughed. “We were never family and would never accept such a useless thug like you.” Mr. Wayles spat bluntly at his face.“Mother..!” He cried out.Though he has been living with them, he was never loved by his mother and father, they only loved him when he made an achievement but afterward, they treated him as trash and like their real son’s slave.From the public down to his house, no one wanted to be close to him, no one loved him and everyone cast him away. Depression was easy to get but he tried to grow up strong amidst the storm.“Maximus, we agreed to adopt you because the doctor claimed my wife can never get pregnant. But since she got pregnant and has a son almost your age, it’s unnecessary to keep you around.” His eyes widened as his father continued speaking harshly. He had no emotion in his eyes.“Kaiden is coming back and we don’t want him to meet with you, nor do we want him to share anything with a dumbass like you. So, please leave.” Ending his statement, his father kicked his dresses over to him and he looked at them.They were looking messy.It felt like a dream but no matter how he closed his eyes and opened them, the truth remained that his family no longer wanted him, they had abandoned him and wanted him out of their lives.“Father…” He wanted to plea, he wanted to try another chance but his mother stepped in, by this time, Mr. Wayles sighed and went into the mansion.“We are done here, Maximus. If you ever come back here again to cause any trouble, you will hate my guts.” She spat at his face in annoyance and stormed out.He rolled his luggage and damp clothes on his shoulder as he tried to look for where to sleep for the night. He wanted to sleep at the public house but it was full. He had no money to afford a motel for the night and then, it occurred to him that he had a best friend, not only that but one that lived closer to him and he would never restrain him from visiting.
“What are you doing here by this time, Max?” His best friend, Richard, was surprised to see him at his place.Maximus rarely comes out at night and the Wayles would never allow him outside since he did all the tasks of a servant, including washing his mother’s underwear.“I… I will have to crash here tonight, man. I’m sorry for the inconvenience.” He grumbled, placing a hand on Richard’s shoulder.Richard shrugged, looking dissatisfied.“You would have called, you know.” Richard paused. “What if I had my friends over? Or I wasn’t at home.” Richard complained.“This is not going to happen, ever again. Besides, I’m leaving first thing tomorrow morning.” He assured Richard with a warm smile and Richard sighed, giving him way to enter into his apartment.He settled down and tried to gather his head around.He had gone through so much today, was it the scene where his ex-course mate laughed at him for having been wearing the same outfit since their final school days? Or the scene where his juniors bullied him?He was tired and confused. Why did his family suddenly change?They despised him but they would never chase him out of the house, except someone really wanted him out or there was something he didn’t know about.He grew thirsty and walked out from the guest room that Richard had pointed for him.“Bro, I…” He stopped in his tracks when he found Richard making a call, he was facing him with his back.Maximus attempted to leave but a statement stopped him.“You mean that bastard, Maximus? I guess your parents already kicked him out because he came begging to stay with me.” Richard laughed over the phone.“What? Who is he speaking with?” He became anxious and leaned on the wall, hoping to understand the call.“Yes, I don’t plan to keep him here for long. I will kick him out.” Richard grinned happily.Maximus was confused, was this his best friend? The same person they had agreed to be sworn brothers and protect each other.“Don’t worry, I will make sure your brother has a miserable fate before you return. I will definitely put him in his place.” Richard continued making his call.“What? Even Richard also can’t be trusted?” As he thought, he returned to the guest room in shock.

Sara got to the house and told Max what Kaiden had told her. Max raised his eyebrows, he was wondering how she handled the situation. “ What did you say to him?" He asked.“ I told him that it was not going to be possible, I have moved on from that and we shall remain workers only," she said.Max nodded his head and hoped that she was telling the truth because he would be so upset with her if he found out that she had gone back to Kaiden. He got into the sitting room, he looked around. “ She must be in her room," Sara said, smiling at him. “ Don't do that to me, how the hell did you know that I was looking for Silvia?” he asked."I do know, you do not bother yourself with anyone or anything in this house, so I know who you are looking for when you do that,” she said. Max went to his room, took his bath, got out of the bathroom, and carefully creamed his body, he took his time to do that. He had to pay attention to everything he was doing because of Silvia, he wanted to impress he

Nina kept thinking about who the second person was. She sat in her room, the only person that she ever told about what she wanted was just Kaiden and Richard. She stood up and went to Kaiden's room. She knocked on the door, he opened the door and saw her standing in front of them. “ Can you not sleep?" He asked her. “ No, not that, something is going on and I do not know who is behind this. I took Richard's advice and asked Myles to help me, but he went ahead and told Max about it and now he is trying to get me sacked” She looked sad. Kaiden opened the door wider so that she could get inside the room. " Why would Myles do that to you?” he asked. " Myles has so much loyalty for Max and that was what I had missed, but one thing that bothered me was he said two people already told him about me taking over the company. He said one of them is Myles and then the second person is who I am trying to know” she said. Kaiden was quiet for a while. “ Maybe it is Richard who told him abou

She waved her hands to dismiss him. He left. She stood up and arranged her dress. She checked and everything was perfect, then she went to Max's office. She got there and saw Myles also. All that was on her mind at that time was that Myles had done something and that was why she was called into the office, maybe Max had noticed something was wrong. “ You sent for me, Sir," She said as she smiled at Myles. Myles pretended like she was not there. “ I heard something, and I wish to confirm that from you, this will be the second time I will be hearing it and t

The door opened and she got into her office, she wanted to go meet with Myles but something else was going on in Max's office, and that made her not go, she needed to go meet Myles when he was alone so that it would not cause any disruption at all. She decided to wait for when he would be free so that she could talk to him about it. Myles was in the office, and they had an issue at hand, something was wrong with the server and they needed to fix it as quickly as possible, so that was what Myles was in Max's office trying to fix. The new product that Victoria brought was doing well in the market and they needed to keep their website active because of the many visitors that they were receiving.

Martha could not believe that her husband was on the news for the wrong reasons, he was arrested and it was shown in the news for everyone to see. She was so bitter that her husband was given a public humiliation, she quickly picked up her phone and called Kaiden.“Hey, have you seen the news? Your father is in the news, it is aired on the television, guess what is being aired? His arrest, your father has been reduced to nothing” She said. " Mom, calm down, let me check that out and call you back,” He said. " Call me back? I am coming there to meet you, we have to go do something about this” She ended the call even before Kaiden could ask her not to bother coming over to his house. She got dressed and headed for her car that was outside, she had already gotten into the car when she saw the guy that friended her, the one that brought her food to eat. She had to act normal. He walked close to her car. “ I have seen what is in the News already, what happened to him, what kind of thin
