Byron's heart sank even further, he felt his heart imploding. He had longed to see and be with this woman throughout his stay in prison. Why was she doing this?

“I thought… We were in love. I thought you loved me?”

“Well wake up to reality! She never did! She's tired of inhaling that stench called poverty from you! Read the room bro! Sign the damn papers and get lost!” Liam barked, throwing a pen at Byron's chest.

Byron smiled bitterly as he glanced at the divorce papers in his hands.

Then he raised his head at them, “I will sign this but I want custody of Ava.” Ava is his life. He loved her way too much to leave her in the hands of these people.

The room fell silent.

“Let me rephrase that. You mean, my daughter?” Liam scoffed.

What?

Byron's head buzzed. Is this some kind of a sick joke?

Maggi tilted her head as if prepared for his reaction. She didn't waste time in showing him the DNA test that proved what Liam just said.

Byron's face turned pale. He clenched his fist hard like he was going to lose it.

The little girl he called daughter wasn't his?

He felt his world crumbling.

He stared at the DNA results until he couldn't anymore. His eyes were red with pain and bitterness.

His whole life for four good years had been a lie!

Heartbroken, he signed the divorce papers and stormed out, vowing to make the Armstrongs pay.

At the Mega corporations, Byron was welcomed warmly into the CEO’s office, his office.

Carol, his assistant, did all the necessary things as Byron instructed her since he was still quite new to running a big company like this but he had good business acumen and some experience.

Going through some of the Corporation's properties, Byron realized his company had a huge undeveloped mass of land that was ripe for commercial development.

He immediately drafted plans to kickstart his first project as the CEO and he instructed his assistant to put out word for construction companies to start bidding for the project.

The Armstrong family's authority rested in the hands of the grandmother, Jane and everyone knew who she loved the most.

“Alright, take your seats.” Lady Jane said as she walked onto the stage and gently sat on her chair. “According to a reliable source, Mega Corporation Just welcomed a new president.”

Woah!

The entire family turned to each other with a surprised look. Granny's announcement sparked a huge discussion among the people.

Mega Corporation wasn't an easy one. They had tried being partners with them even last month but they turned them down.

Since they now had a new president, working with a company that's as big as Mega corporations, Lady Jane knew they stood to make steady profits even more than their current deals.

Lady Jane looked around the hall, glaring at their faces, “Who’s willing to give it a shot?” She asked. “Anyone willing to go negotiate the partnership with Mega Corporations and can successfully seal the deal, will be getting a 15% of the company's share.”

15% is a lot!

“Let me go, Granny.”

“I'm willing to give it a shot!”

“I can do it, Grandma!”

Samantha and Maggi just kept mute and watched while Liam avoided eye contact with Grandma Jane.

He knew how many times they had tried Mega Corporation in the past. It's better she chooses…

“Liam! The task is in your hands. Go there tomorrow, and give it your best shot.” Grandma Jane said curtly.

“B-But we have others volunteering. Why me, Grandma?” Liam protested. He was never fit for business, any time he had sealed a big deal was due to luck or huge bribes to someone inside the organization but none of those tricks could work on Mega Corporations.

“Don’t be a fool. You’re supposed to be the leader of this family, because of you, our company almost went bankrupt. If you do not do this, you will cease to be an Armstrong!” Grandma Jane yelled out her order, slamming her fists on the table.

Liam gulped as all eyes turned to him. He had no choice, his future as an Armstrong rested on getting his family this contract.

  • THE END

    “Yes boss.” They replied and got on the truck, cutting the rope in his legs, causing Derek to fall on the floor. “Hmmm.” Derek groaned as his head landed on the floor. His body aching from the burns he had gotten due to the fire. He couldn't open his eyes as his eyes lid was closed, and squeezed together. He forced it and tried to see how badly burnt he was but he couldn't. He couldn't barely hear a thing to say the least…. He needed water but he couldn't talk. The heat he was feeling was unbearable. Suddenly, he felt his body being dragged on the floor. “What are you trying to do to him?!” Sophia yelled as Byron's men dragged Derek to the river side. “Shut up and watch!” Byron frowned at her. The river wasn't far from where they stood so they all turned and watched as Derek was dumb at the edge of the river. “What the fuck?!” “Christ! Jeez…. Oh my God!” Woah! Byron heard the three of them screaming as a crocodile jumped out of the water and dragged Derek's body in

  • TORTURED

    “Raise your hands, you Moron!” Marcus, one of Byron's men, ordered Derek while Byron sat, crossing his legs with a smile as he watched Marcus and the rest do their job.“What are they going to do to me?” Derek barked, struggling to free himself from this white guy's grip.“It's a surprise!” Byron mocked.Marcus and four of his colleagues pulled out the rope before tying the end of the rope around Derek's both legs like a goat that's about to be slaughtered.“What the fuck is this, Byron?! Stop them!!!” Derek thundered as the smug look on Byron's face only irritated him.“I have your cousin! You kill or hurt me? You do the same to him!! I gave my men an order! If in 20 minutes they don't see me, they put a bullet in his skull!” Derek screams on top of his lungs.“It's funny how you think you still have up to 20 minutes to live!” Byron laughed as he watched his men tie the other end of the rope at the huge truck beside Derek.“Fuck!” Derek yelled as his head it hit the ground then Marcu

  • LET THE WAR BEGIN

    The black dude with Sophia walked over to them, then Sophia pointed at Byron, “Hey the cards from him!” She commanded the man who ran past her, intending to grab Byron but then, the place exploded, causing his body to scatter all over, his flesh dropping on the floor.Though the bomb wasn’t designed to cause that much explosion, it was meant to kill just a person who gets close to the string! Sophia, who covered her ears due to the loud noise, felt something trickle down her face. She raised her hand to touch her face.“Christ!” She screams. The black dude's blood scattered all over her face.Meanwhile, Sucre was at the Jeep where Sara was, trying to untie her.“Where is Byron? Where is he?” Sara asked as Sucre helped with the rope around her legs.“He's trying to get this war over and down with. Once and for all.” Sucre replied.“And…. And Sophia?” She asked, getting down from the car.“With the explosion we just heard? She should be dead.” Sucre added. “Come, you're my responsibili

  • STRING

    Byron arrived at the address he gave Derek. He got out of his car, handed the key to Marcus, one of his most trusted men. “The three of you get the five cars out of this vicinity. No cars should be seen here when they arrive.” He ordered, walking away while the rest of his men all surrounded the entire place just like he instructed them.They trooped in, hiding in the rooftop of the building, digging the sand close to the sea and burying themselves; in anticipation of what was to come. There were about a hundred and fifty of them, and they were all dressed in black. And had about three to four guns were with them.Their guns were fully loaded, and as they took their different positions, they set their guns in front of them, aiming it in the direction Byron, their boss instructed them.In about 10 minutes, the 150 men had successfully hidden themselves and when Byron turned to inspect the place, it was as calm and clear as if it was just him and Sucre that were present.“Brilliant, Byr

  • LOCATION

    Sophia took her seat not too far from Sara who was tied to a chair. She could still remember when she arrived at Derek's residence, with the aim of ending his life for all the pain he had caused her but then, she yelled a chaotic noise, causing her to raise her head up to the balcony at the seventh floor. Derek's room.To her shocking surprise, Sara was jumping out of his room. At first, she thought it was ridiculous for Sara to be in her baby Daddy's room but then, she knew how much Derek was obsessed with Sarah, not knowing she was Sara, Byron's wife. An idea dropped in her head then she changed her plans. Why kill Derek and be jailed and still lose at the end with no money, when she could get someone else to do the job and still get a lot of money with her?It was then she turned and patiently waited for Sara to swing off the water before tailing her down to this small hut, without being noticed.“I'm sorry we had to meet this way, Sara….” Sophia smirked, her gaze fixed on Sara.“

  • ORDERS FROM TWO ENEMIES

    “Ahhh.. ouch…” Sara cried.Not her stomach again! She had been protecting this one with her life. And now this monster wants to kill it before it even gets the opportunity to form in her stomach!“I'd kill you myself! Before you think of going back to that husband if yours, I'd gladly have your blood as wine!” He had a bloodthirsty look as he placed the broken bottle on her skin, slowly dragging it and cutting deep into her flesh.“No…” Sara whimpered as he cut her hands and her blood gushed out of her body.Enduring the pain; behind her, she placed her hand into her pocket, grabbing the pencil knife she placed there when she was leaving the warehouse. She knew dealing with Derek was a dangerous idea, but not being armed was a foolish idea.Without warning, she pulled and slid it across his cheek. Not satisfied with it, she raised her hand and stuck the knife into his chest.Derek gasped, “Shit!” He yelled as she stabbed him and tried to flee but he grabbed her by her legs. “Let me g
