Oliver's expression was stern as he listened to Arshad's fear-filled plea. He knew that Arshad had brought this predicament upon himself by attempting to carry out the contract on his life. When Arshad spoke of his fear for his life, Oliver's response was cold and pragmatic."Protecting yourself is up to you and not me," he said, his tone firm and unyielding. "You got yourself into useless problems, and now you must find a way out. Don't expect me to protect you. You have your own men; use them to find a solution.”With those words, Oliver ended the call abruptly, hanging up the phone. As Oliver hung up the phone, Zelda looked at him with concern in her eyes. "Hubby, is everything alright? Anything wrong?" she asked, sensing that the call might have been troubling.Oliver smiled warmly at her, his features softening. He leaned in and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips, a gesture meant to reassure her. "Don't worry, everything is fine," he said, his tone calm and soothing. "Just a mi
They waited for many hours, the anticipation building as the darkness of evening enveloped the surroundings. Some of the men had even drifted off to sleep inside the van when suddenly, one of them spotted Garcia's car approaching."Hey, Garcia is already coming in, let's get ready," he exclaimed, shaking his comrades awake.With renewed alertness, the men peered out of the van, their eyes fixated on Garcia's car as it pulled up to the entrance. Inside the car, Vespera remained composed, her keen assassin instincts guiding her observations.Seeing a parked car nearby, Vespera assessed the situation with a practiced eye. There were no signs of prolonged parking, indicating that the vehicle was likely there for a specific purpose. With a subtle smile, she continued driving into the estate.As Garcia and Logan disembarked from the car, Vespera stayed behind, maintaining her vigilance. Garcia glanced back at her with a frown, questioning her hesitation."Why are you standing there, Vespera
Oliver Storm was busy with his daily chores in the Ellison manor early in the morning, while his wife, Zelda Ellison, was busy dressing."Oliver, you better hurry up and wash the dishes and cook something for me because I am very hungry." Oliver's mother-in-law, Abigail Ellison, yelled."Mom, there are a lot of dishes to wash. Can you please cook the food so I can also continue with the dishes? " Oliver asked in a calm tone."You!" Abigail was enraged.."How dare you ask me to cook? You're so useless and poor, but dare you ask me to cook for you?" She asked coldly.Hearing Abigail's cold tone, Oliver lowered his head but said nothing."You better hurry up; my daughter has an important place to go and she can't leave on an empty stomach." Abigail slammed the door and went out after saying this."Zelda is going out. She might go with me, right? " Thinking of this, Oliver sped up with his chores so he could leave with his wife when he was done.Immediately after he finished cooking, the
“Poof!” Oliver could not help but spat a mouthful of blood, even though he knew their marriage was just a show, he had done all his best to get Zelda’s love so hearing her ask for a divorce broke his heart.Tears streamed down Oliver’s cheek. He turned to her and said, "Zelda, I know that not only have I not been a good husband and your life got destroyed because of me and I'm really sorry for that. You can call when the divorce papers are ready, so we can go and sign them.”“I wish you all "happiness in life". That was Oliver’s last sentence before leaving the room."Oliver’s last words hit Zelda hard, she did not understand why she was sad instead of being happy because Oliver was leaving her.At the same time, Oliver walked alone on the street, he didn’t have any dollar on him for him to be able to book a room so the only option for him was for him to sleep under the bridge.Just then, his phone rang. Seeing that it was a private number, Oliver felt puzzled as to who would call h
"Alice, I need to address my mother, where could she be? " Oliver quickly asked when the call was associated with. “Am sorry young master, as I stated earlier, President is busy at the moment and I guess she would contact you when there’s time.” Alice repliedOliver nodded; his mom was a billionaire so definitely there would always be a lot of important stuffs to deal with.He had a great deal of inquiries in his mind now."For what reason did mother leave me assuming that she was as yet alive?”"For what reason did I need to battle throughout everyday life in the event that I had a rich family?”"He realized Alice wasn't the most ideal individual to respond to every one of his inquiries so all he could do was to hung up.Immediately after hanging up, Oliver boarded a cab to one of the most luxurious hotels in Boston Hills, “Empire Hotel” he now had billions of dollars so that wasn’t a problem for him.At the same time in a luxurious room was seated a woman in her mid-50’s. Even thou
When the security guard saw him hold his collar, he angrily rolled his eyes and looked at Oliver's screen.Seeing a message indicating that 10 million dollars had been accredited into Oliver’s account as a bonus, his body shivered.Of course, he wasn’t a fool, for a bank to give 10 million dollars as a bonus to their customer, the customer's balance wouldn’t be less than 2 billion."Thud!" He fell to his knees to apologize. "S…S… Sir, please forgive me. I was blind not to let you in but argue with you. Please don’t take this matter to your heart. I have a wife and two kids at home. If I am fired, then that is the end of my family." The security guard begged as his shoulders continued to shake from crying.He was wise to know that since Oliver had such a huge amount in his account, he would be fired if he reported it to the manager.Hearing the security guard’s pleading words, Oliver sighed. He didn’t take the matter to heart because even though the security looked down on him, it was
"Rooms and suites were all booked out, was that a joke?" Oliver was surprised. There were more than 200 rooms and suites in Empire because it had lot of visitors so he was sure the lady was lying to him.The only reason could be that she was looking down on him.“Miss how can you sa…“Hello I want to book a suite;” A voice rang through before Oliver could complete his sentence.A middle-aged man who was neatly dressed in suit walked forward. Looking at him, one could tell that he was rich.“Sure sir, its…”The lady talked to the man gently until he was done with the booking.Oliver who was watching everything was stunned, firstly lady told him all the suites and rooms has been occupied but the middle-aged man was able to get a suite.“I thought you said all the suites and rooms are occupied so how come someone successfully made a booking?” Oliver questioned angrily.Hearing his question, the lady frowned and said. “There are suites and rooms available but am afraid you can’t afford th
Oliver, whose back was facing Ynes, turned and asked, "Miss Ynes, are you the owner here?" Ynes was shocked to see Oliver, the guy who got into a heated argument with her bodyguard a few minutes ago. "Yes, I’m the owner here," Ynes replied shortly. The Empire Hotel was one of the properties of the Larking family, and Ynes was the one in charge. "I came here to book a suite, but your staff wouldn’t allow me; why is it so?" Oliver asked with a stern expression. Oliver then explained everything that had happened to Ynes. Ynes was furious; she never looked down on people and didn’t expect her staff to do so. She took a yellow card from her bag and handed it to Oliver. "I’m really sorry for my staff’s behavior; this is our membership card." "You can stay here whenever you want without paying." Oliver wanted to reject the membership card; he had enough money to pay for all his lodgings, but after giving it a second thought, he decided not to embarrass her. He was taken aback when
