Chapter 4: Game on

That bastard is a cheater, because why would he agree to the divorce easily?

Lily complained, and for some reason, was disappointed and angry that Andrew didn't think twice before accepting the divorce.

She had expected him to beg, and bawl his eyes out asking for a second chance, but he didn't, and that surprised the hell out of her.

There was no other reasonable explanation she could think of, that made him agree to the divorce like that if not, that he had been cheating on her.

I hope I don't see that hoe of his, because I'm going to teach them both a lessonShe threatened, picking up her phone from the bed.

Babe, come and see, your ex is getting into the latest range rover Prado ?Mike called out , still peeping from the window, his gaze fixed on the car, till it went out of sight.

Don't take that puppet seriously, he's probably a driverLily mocked, her eyes fixed on the phone in her hands.

Oh, I never thought of that, I thought he had graduated to hijacking carsMike said, bursting into laughter as Lily joined him.

Babe, you know this would be the biggest moment of my lifeLily flung her phone on the bed and stood up to join Mike where he stood in just his briefs.

Babe, do you know the most exciting part? The mysterious chairman of A and U would be the one to personally present my money to me tomorrowLily giggled, her face litting up with smiles.

And that's not even all, I am going to be a fucking shareholder in the biggest company in the world!she squealed in delight, jumping on Mike's body, and in turn he grabbed her ass, pressing her body into his.

And before I forget babe, we need to invite your friends and business partners to come witness this day with me.

Of course, you are the star of the day, I will make sure to invite all the influential men I knowMike assured, pressing his lips on Lily's.

And like I told you, I will be going to A and U group to sign the partnership todayHe added

You can start going now babe, there is no time to waste Lily squealed in excitement, tightening her grip on Mike's shoulder.

                                   **

After hours of being on the road, a white range rover Prado finally came to a halt at the other side of the city.

A part known to house only the elites and influential men. No one dared enter without a permit card.

Amongst other exotic tall glass buildings stood the largest of them all.

It was none other than A and U building , the leading company in Nashville city and beyond with over 5 branches located at various locations around the world.

The white gates slide automatically letting the range rover in.

And as soon as they got to the private garage, a man in his mid 40s cladded in a black expensive suit, highlighted with speed and opened the car door for a younger man dressed in casual wear.

Just as Andrew was about to step out from the car, his phone vibrated, notifying an incoming call.

Sir, we found Benita. She is currently based at Ceal Veal city.

And it seems her financial situation is not good... According to our investigation, her company is now on the verge of bankruptcy.

What?! Send me every detail you have now.Andrew said with shaking voice.

He blamed himself for making such a stupid mistake to find the wrong person and wasted the whole three years.

But he hoped it was not too late to make up for her.

Suppressing his overwhelming emotions and taking a deep breath, he dropped the call and dialed another number.

Hello sir,Emily, his personal assistant, spoke up from the other end.

Emily, I need you to make a public announcement that the banquet is shifted to three days time, not tomorrow anymoreHe needed some time to meet that girl. And he had actually planned to cancel the banquet when he signed the divorce paper, but now he changed his mind.

He  was really curious of Lily's reaction when he appeared there, with Benita. And he was going to make her return everything that didn’t belong to her back to Benita!

Okay, Sir. The assistant replied.

Andrew Baron stepped out of the car as he headed inside his company- the A and U group.

But as he walked into the lobby, he sighted the last person he had expected to see again today.

Hi, Mr ex son-in-lawMike called out loudly, his lips twisting into a smirk

Andrew ignored him as he continued walking, not sparing him a glance.

He had important things to do. Wasting time on this trash was not on the list.You don't need to be scared of me, don't worry I won't get you kicked out ,Mike called out, quickening up his pace to reach Andrew.  

But with just a few steps away, he paused involuntarily as the memory of how Andrew held his neck and almost strangled him, flashed through his mind.  

It annoyed him that a man with no significance and way below his status , managed to intimidate him.

With one glance at both sides,  his confidence spiked up to the fullest, as he saw the security guards that were littered around,so he continued walking, stood in Andrew's front, blocking his path.

Andrew huffed out in annoyance and paused for a second

Wow, I never knew A and U allow species like you in hereMike taunted mockingly, his face covered in a smug smile.

You already know now,Andrew replied calmly, and made to continue walking.

Wait, wait.. Just hold on for a second, don't worry I won't order the security to bundle you out,  you can go in and apply for your cleaner Job, after all you need it to survive, I'm not that heartless to chase you out of somewhere you are privileged to be in Mike said in low mocking tone.

Anyways it would be so bad of me to not say thank you.Mike said, as Andrew raised his eyebrows questioningly, signaling him to say whatever it is he has to say .

I just wanted to thank you for easily handing over Olivia to me by agreeing to the divorce, I thought you would want to prove stubborn, but thank you, she is indeed good in all area, especially in bedMike said, intentionally drawing out the bed part.

Is that all? Andrew replied as calmly as ever, his voice not giving off any slightest hint of anger

Mike raised his eyebrows in confusion, his insides seething with anger that Andrew didn't give him the reaction he wanted.

Just the sight of the man standing before him annoyed him to death,and he couldn't hide his hate any longer.

Stop pretending! You think you are all that?Mike sneered glaring at Andrew contemptuously.

Do you know why I am here? I was representing my father to sign a collaboration worth millions of dollars with the A and U Group. "

And do you know how powerful the chairman of A and U Group is?Mike sneered, his voice dripping with mockery." He owns more than one hundred companies and A and U is only one of them. He even won numerous battles for the country.  And even the president wanted to marry his daughter to him and he declined! Now you know what it means to colllaborate with such a company, you idiot?"

Well, you do have quite a knowledge of me.Andrew chuckled lightly.

What? You?Mike asked, bursting into a laughter.

Are you saying you're the chairman? Hahaha! You are a piece of trash that could never amount to anything, and you dare stand there to talk rubbish!  " He said disdainfully, looking at Andrew as if he were a fool.

Beep!

The sound of an incoming text caught his attention as he took a quick glance at his phone.

It was from Lily : Babe, I just got the news that A and U shifted the banquet to 3 days and I just spoke with the event planner, they can set up our wedding a day after the banquet.

    1 hour later, Andrew stood inside the tiny scattered room, he was sure this was the house his investigator had told him she stayed in. But what he was seeing now was different, the room looked like it had been deserted for months. And why was it unlocked? Did she move? Andrew thought of many possible answers to the questions he had, but he found none. Concluding that this was not the house, he walked out of the battered green building and dug out his phone from his pocket, about to call his investigator and scold for giving him a wrong address. “Poor girl, I doubt she would come out of that alive” a voice flew into Andrew's ear, and he paused in his tracks. He snapped his head to the direction and saw two women seated on a bench at the corner, and they weren't there when he had passed earlier. Heaving a sigh of relief, he approached them to see if he could get answers to his questions. “She was kind, she didn't deserve such a cruel fate” the first woman said,

Known for housing horny and dangerous high end millionaires and billionaires who seek to find pleasure in the comfort of women.

    “You came right into a den of lion's !” The man snarled and raised his dagger to stab Andrew. In a swift move , Andrew snatched the dagger from the man and stabbed it right into his shoulder. “Owww!” The man groaned in pain, as he flung his wrist to Andrew's face, but before it could land. Andrew effortlessly launched a powerful kick into the man's stomach and he was sent flying a few meters away, like a bag of weightless grass. Silence befell the room once more as the men gawked at Andrew, their eyes wide open in shock. “You have just dug your own grave!” A man yelled, and the rest stormed towards Andrew. One by one Andrew dodged their weapons , his legs working hard in hard with his fists as he kicked and landed blows on any part of their body he came in contact with. The men yelped and groaned in pain as they sprawled on the floor, each clutching onto a part of their body that had been badly battered. After his little marathon, Andrew dug out his handkerchief and cle

    Before Mr lethal could realize what had just happened, he was on the floor in pain, the same dagger he placed on Benita’s throat a few seconds ago, was dug deep into his spinal cord. “ You have 1 sec to stand up and fight me, or watch me leave” Andrew taunted, a smug grin spreading across his face “ You!” You will pay for this! I will make sure of that” Mr lethal, lay motionlessly on the floor, his waist downwards was paralyzed. “You dare disrupt my business and take away my trophy!” Mr Lethal groaned, his teeth gnashing in pain as he watched the back of the mysterious man who remained unharmed even after taking down dozens of his well trained soldiers disappear out of sight. “ You will regret this! I will hunt you down until the last drop of my blood!” He yelled, before succumbing into darkness. Benita looked at this scene in horror and fainted with a pale face. Andrew held her and regretted letting her see such a bloody scene. It was already late, so he took

    Those were the only reasonable reasons she could think of, as to why the mysterious man would be attending a ball being hosted by the biggest company in the whole of Pinnock country. “Do you really want to know?”Andrew asked, contemplating on whether he should tell her the truth straight up. “Yes I want to know” Benita answered, seeing this as an opportunity to soothe her curiosity about the mysterious man's identity. Andrew decided there was no harm in telling her who he really was. “Actually I am going there as the chairman of A and U”“Wait, hold on” Benita said, bursting into a loud laughter after her futile efforts at trying to hold it back. After she had had her fill of laughter , she paused, feeling bad at how she had interrupted the man like that, but that didn't make what the man had just blurted out, less ridiculous, at least to her. “ Please I'm sorry about that, I couldn't hold it back” Benita said, still finding what the mysterious man had just said funny.

    The aggression in the guard’s voice grew, and he took a threatening step closer to Andrew.But Andrew remained unshaken. "Tell Justin. Now."The guard’s eyes narrowed. He was about to push Andrew further when something clicked in his mind. Justin’s name, paired with the way Andrew carried himself, brought back his captain’s briefing from earlier that day. The CEO had personally informed the security team that the chairman of A and U Group would be attending the event—discreetly—and gave them a specific description. He took a second look at Andrew and swallowed hard. This man, the one he was about to kick out, fit that description perfectly.The guard’s anger turned into cold fear as he realized the massive mistake he was about to make. His face paled, and he quickly took a step back. “Sir, I... I’m terribly sorry,” he stammered, his aggressive tone vanishing,“Please, come right in.”Mike stared at the guard, baffled. “What’s wrong with you? Don’t tell me you’re falling for his ac

    His voice, once proud and sharp, broke down into pleading.“I-I’m sorry,” Amik stammered, hands trembling, “Please… I didn’t know… If I had known… I swear, I wouldn’t have…”He looked up at Andrew like a drowning man begging for rope. “I was wrong. I was so wrong. Please forgive me. Just one chance, just one.”But Andrew didn’t move. He didn’t speak. He didn’t show the rage they had mocked, or the power they had denied. He only looked at Amik with the same quiet calm that had shaken them all to the core.It was that stillness that made it unbearable.“I didn’t know,” Amik repeated, now more desperately. “I didn’t mean it. I didn’t know who you were!”Amik begged harder, his voice growing more frantic. He promised anything, everything—money, favors, loyalty—but deep down, he knew it was too late.It was all his fault .His voice was shaking, words tumbling over each other, but Andrew’s expression didn’t change.There was no mercy in his eyes.He had given him chances.

    Amik laughed, loud and careless, the sound ringing through the room. “Don’t tell me you actually believed what this lowlife just said?”He tilted his head, smiling as if he had just witnessed the most ridiculous lie of the century. His words dripped with mockery, his voice full of arrogance. He spoke like a man too sure of the air he breathed, too unaware that it could be taken from him.He looked around for agreement, waiting for the others to join in, but his laughter began to echo back at him. The room didn’t laugh with him this time.There was a pause. A long one.Then a voice snapped through the silence like a crack in glass."He was telling the truth!" one of the men shouted back, his voice cracking with urgency, and instantly, every pair of eyes in the room jerked toward the television mounted on the wall.And just like that, nothing else in the room mattered anymore.The screen lit up with the red-and-white logo of a news station known for breaking high-priority corporate up

Each laugh was louder and meaner than the last, filled with pride and disbelief.They weren’t just laughing at what he said.They were laughing at the idea that someone like him could say it and actually believe it.One of them clapped loudly, almost choking in his amusement. “You hear that?! He cancelled the contract,” he managed to gasp, slapping the armrest beside him. “The bloody contract! What’s next? He owns Jashem too?!”Another man snorted and leaned in, eyes glinting with ridicule. “Only the chairman can make that call.

  • Chapter 220: Not Just A Threat

    Andrew was slightly taken aback himself, though not in the way they thought. He hadn't known Amik had partnered with his company. Not because it wasn’t important, but because he hadn’t been keeping up. The CEO had begged him to visit the Jashem branch, to see the numbers, the growth, to meet the new partners. But Andrew hadn’t had the time—or the interest. He had poured his all into that company . He’d built it brick by brick. And when it began to rise, he didn’t cling to it. He didn’t need to see its shadow to know it still stood strong. He set it up to grow without him. He had built ten branches in the ten cities. Each one planted like a seed with deep roots.He had no idea the Jashem branch had grown so much. That it now commanded this kind of attention. That it had the clout to make or break careers.Andrew chuckled softly.The world is small. Smaller than pride.Still, he wouldn’t use it against the man. Not yet. He wouldn’t tamper with Amik’s contract.But he would give him

    Silence fell in the room, Thick and heavy .No one spoke, not even Amik.Every man in that lounge had gone still, as if suddenly realizing they’d been standing beside royalty and hadn’t known it.Every man in that lounge knew exactly who he was now.“This is Amik Brandon, the CEO of Amiklin Corp” One of the men said out loud , his voice trembling with amazement “Of course it's him !” Another yelled in astonishment Amik Brandon.The man the whole of Jashem was buzzing about. The man whose name had been plastered across every media channel four days ago after the shocking announcement that A and U Group had partnered with him.A partnership of that level was unheard of. Almost mythical. Every tech CEO in the city had been trying for years to get A and U’s attention, and yet somehow, Amik had done it. Practically overnight, he'd become Jashem’s newest obsession. People wanted to know how he pulled it off. Was it innovation? Was it bribery? Was it sheer luck?It didn’t matter.He was n

    Mr. Amik stood firm, eyes narrowing as Andrew prepared to walk past. His presence wasn’t loud, but the tension in his stance spoke volumes. To him, the idea of this plain-dressed stranger cutting ahead was nothing short of an insult. It wasn’t just impatience—it was disbelief. And somewhere beneath it, bruised pride that refused to bleed quietly.In Jashem City, you could size a man up before he even spoke. The city was built on performance, and everyone knew it. Wealth was never silent. It sparkled in diamond watches, strutted in limited-edition suits, and screamed from behind tinted luxury cars. That was the code. That was the order. And in this order, no rich man dressed in a shirt and faded jeans.So Amik didn’t need confirmation. He didn’t need names or stories.He had looked at Andrew, made a decision, and moved on.Lower class. Clearly.And now that man was stepping in before him?He felt his chest tighten with fury, the kind that didn’t explode—but boiled. His pride, swollen

Whether the man could be trusted was still uncertain, but at this point, Andrew knew one thing for sure: the deeper he went into this web, the more every move mattered. When he arrived at the office, he saw five other men already seated in the narrow waiting area. They didn’t look like ordinary clients. Their suits were crisp, their silence loaded. Men like these didn’t sit in waiting rooms unless they were waiting for something very valuable—or someone very powerful. And none of them seemed like the type to be kept waiting for long.Andrew took a seat without a word. His eyes didn’t scan the room. He didn’t acknowledge anyone. There was no point in drawing attention to himself when all he wanted was information. His thoughts were elsewhere—fixed on the herb, Cain’s warning, and now this mysterious Mr. Torino.Minutes passed.He was still thinking about Ca
