“Ria is acting so weird.” Chris with his hands in his pocket stared at the glass words of the elevator. His expression was staring right back at him and he was so worried. Rico put a hand on his shoulder, patting it lightly.

“Don’t worry.” Butler Rico assured. “As soon as you are done with the press conference, you can talk to her.”

Chris nodded and the nervousness of speaking to the members of the press set in. He was a young man and they were definitely going to ask him silly questions and hard ones, in other to test his ability.

And when the news hit the public, everyone was going to wonder if he was competent enough.

Soon, they got closer to the conference room and the voice of the host flowed into their ears.

“Now, let’s welcome the new CEO, Chris Westminster, who will take the West Conglomerate to the highest levels in the world.”

Instantly, everyone burst into a round of applause and Chris was tempted to make a joke that they were already high enough and maintaining their l

  • A Higher Person

    “Speculations have ensued about the state of the Rice family. Gerald Rice is still missing after the death of his son and fingers now point at Walker Rice, the current CEO of the Rice empire as the culprit for his brother’s kidnapping!” The words from the news outlet echoed through the large CEO office where Walker had been cooped up, attending several meetings. He stared at the large TV screen, the pen in his hands dropped to the floor in an instant. His face was plastered all over the TV and he was being labeled as a predator, who cut down on his brothers just to get to the top of the food chain.Footage of the basement and how Baron was rescued was being shown on TV and at that moment, Walker still didn't fully realize what was happening. He was confused, shaking on his swivel chair. As if that wasn't enough, he was right in the middle of another meeting! The volume of the TV had only been turned up when they saw his face plastered on it. The board members whom he was in a meet

  • The Fear Of Chris Westminster

    “What are you doing?” Dayna quickly stepped before the men, with a fierce expression. Her husband had not given anyone permission to get into the basement. They had their own little secret inside which no one was supposed to see. Their own desires. Their plans for power and these policemen and reporters just wanted to get in there? No way!“Madam, please, move out of the way otherwise we will have to use force on you.” The detective warned fiercely. He was now more than convinced that something they weren't ought to see was situated in that basement. Dayna shivered in fear knowing there was no way she could fight off the police officers on their own. However, she wanted to at least wait until her husband was there. “Move her out of the way.” The detective ordered some of his colleagues. And as they stepped closer to her, she started to shake her head frantically. “No! You can’t go in there! Albert is not here!” She yelled as they put their hands on her. They dragged her out of the

  • The Basement’s Door

    Tricia froze in disbelief as the police officer’s words sunk in and slowly, she stood up to her feet. In seconds, her heart started to beat faster, as she realized how surprising the turn of events were. Baron resurfaced right after Albert’s death. Now, she was even more sure that Albert and Gerald had something to do with her husband’s disappearance but their plan fell through. “Where is he?” She finally broke out, in a cold sweat, suddenly nervous about seeing Baron again. What had he gone through? What did they do to him? She was thankful she had not spilled everything to the police, else, Baron would have been accused of invading the patriarch's privacy by planting a listening device in the house. “Our officers are on their way to getting him. He was last seen in Rice Walker’s residence!” “What?” Tricia and Mona both gasped at the same time. “What do you mean? What does Walker have to do with this?” Tricia asked, her voice a little bit raised due to her raging emotions. The

  • Baron Is Found

    Multiple arrests were made in the Rice family mansion and now, every news outlet was reporting Gerald Rice’s involvement in the murder of his own son. However, Gerald was nowhere to be found as only Chase and his men were arrested. “What do you think is going to happen now?” Rico asked, his hands clenching on the phone in his hands. He was waiting for Chris’ next orders so he would call up their men immediately. “Did Gerald outsmart us?” “No.” Chris shook his head, not surprised about the old man’s disappearance. “Gerald Rice wasn't born today. He won't easily go down. This is just the tip. A ruffle in the feathers to let him know that he wasn’t going to be safe for long.”Rico pursed his lips as he finally realized that Chris was just laying the groundwork of things. “For now, Rico. You have to lay low.” Chris stood up, buttoning up his suit as he was ready for work. “Remember, to Gerald, you are dead and we are going to keep it that way until the last moment.”“Yes, boss.” Rico

  • Search Warrant

    “Rico!” The fifty men behind him, quickly rushed to him as blood poured down his body. His body shook, his skin quickly turning pale. The men had to carry him straight back to their car, wanting to get him to the hospital. On the other hand, Gerald felt like a don, with no single regret on his face. Even though there were cameras around that captured this murderous act, he didn't mind. After all, he could order the footage to be completely erased. The sick twisted smile on his face was everything as he was confident that Chris would surely receive his message. “Tell Chris Westminster, that he will be next then his hideous father will follow through.” It was surely a shocker to hear someone like Gerald with a rotting face call someone hideous. But the men didn't keep listening to him as they drove off. Their cars formed an entourage as they sped down the road, police cars sped in the opposite direction too. “Everything is done, Boss.” Rico’s heavy voice could be heard in the car a

His parents who abandoned him, went on to live their best lives, claiming he was torn in their flesh! But what did he do to them?He just harmed them a little. Played dangerous pranks on them and watched them cry. Their tears gave him joy and anytime he was near them, they would steer clear of him. “Cowards.” Gerald banged his fist on the table, insulting his parents who he had sent to their eternal grave.
