“Someone is here for you, boss.” Jackson said the moment Nathan arrived the living room. Nathan crashed on the couch. He had just taken a nap right after leaving phoenix media house. “I’m not expecting anyone.” He told Jackson and yawned afterwards. Jackson sighed. “You’ll be surprised to find out who it is.”Nathan hummed. “It’s Kelvin Tyson.” Jackson spat. Nathan’s brows went up. “Kelvin Tyson?” Jackson gave repeated nods. “I asked him whether he had an appointment with you but he insisted that I inform you that it was an emergency.”Nathan sat up. “Let him in.”“Are you sure?”“It’s fine Jackson. Let him inside.” Nathan maintained. When Jackson stepped out, he saw Kelvin at a corner by the entrance, rubbing his hands against each other anxiously. He had tousled his hair atop. “You can come in.” Jackson told Kelvin. Kelvin smiled. Jackson saw stars in Kelvin’s eyes. It was as if the response had given him a reason to be happy. Kelvin muttered an appreciation to Jackson an
“All set!” Mike told Nathan. Nathan adjusted his face mask and dashed out. He got into his G wagon and drove away with the convoy that had been on standby. It was the day of the election, the final lap where the president of the billionaire’s club will be declared. Nathan was dressed in one of his customized Alcantara suits, looking sharp as always. “Are you sure everything will go according to plan?” Nathan asked Mike after resting his back against the car seat. Mike glanced at his watch. “Our men are on standby. I’m sure Corrigan is on his way right now and by the time he hits the GreenWalk streets, he’ll be welcomed by our guys.”After Nathan and his loyal team met at dinner last night, they had agreed to launch an attack on Corrigan so a plan was set in motion. Nathan took a deep breath and stole a glance at his watch. The last lap of the election will kick off in less than an hour. “I assure you young master that today, you shall become the president of the billionaire’s c
Soon, more of Corrigan’s supporters sprang up to question Nathan’s leadership skills. Last night, while Nathan was meeting with his allies, Corrigan had met with his team and they also came to the event with a strategy. The strategy was to limit Nathan’s qualities with demeaning comments. Ryan was stunned by the chaos emanating. He needed to do something fast else the matter might escalate to a quarrel. “Excuse me my dear colleagues,” he called everyone’s attention through his microphone. “We are not here to argue or throw suggestions. I simply asked the contestants whether they had carried out their assignments so the response is up to them. I’ll appreciate it if no one interferes. Only the contestants will speak henceforth.”Corrigan abruptly stood up. There was a microphone strapped around his neck like Nathan’s for the purpose of responding to questions. “You are a man of honor Ryan. Don’t let the narrative change tonight.” Corrigan said and took off his dark spectacles. R
“You brought a gun inside here? What kind of a man are you?” Nathan spoke.Corrigan moved closer to Nathan with the gun directed at his head. “Keep your mouth shut you son of a bitch.”“I’m not scared of you.” Nathan fired back.“By the time I’m done with you, you won’t live to make such a statement again,” Corrigan said and cocked his gun. “All I have to do is pull the trigger and that’s it, Alex Alcantara will be history.”Nathan sighed.Corrigan flashed an evil smile. “So do you have any last words? I’m a man of honor therefore I can spare you a minute for a last speech.”“Speaking to you is like planting seeds in a dessert Corrigan. You are a despicable person.” Nathan replied and curled his lips in irritation.“Whatever. And guess what? I’ll ensure you die horribly. After I empty these bullets into your head, I’m going to take off your masks and hang you by the shower.”“A horrible death right? The kind of death you gave Dr. Edgar and all your one-time loyal friends.” Said Nathan
When Nathan and his crew stepped out of the bathroom, they were intercepted by Corrigan’s men outside.Corrigan’s chief guard hurried to the bathroom and was stunned at the spectacle before him. Jackson was dragging the lifeless Corrigan toward the door like a piece of shit.In a flash, the Alcantara guards quickly secured the bathroom and the hallway. They were heavily guarded.Nathan cleared his throat loudly and looked Corrigan’s chief security guard straight in the face. “If any of you dares to shoot, I’ll ask Jackson to kill your boss.”Seeing that they were not at an advantage, Corrigan’s men lowered their guns. Meanwhile, aside from the ones inside the hall, the guards had no idea about the ongoing commotion in the hall.As Corrigan’s men drew back, Jackson made his way back to the Hall dragging Corrigan while Nathan and his entourage followed.When they arrived at the hall, Nathan read the room. Everyone had shock spread across their faces. Nathan glanced at one of the screens
The crowd began to disperse while the electoral committee moved to a corner to converse. It was a case of emergency. McDonald, Gregor, Hose Luis, and other supporters of Nathan rallied around him to exchange congratulatory remarks and laud his brave actions.While McDonald and Gregor were speaking with the rest, Mike and Nathan moved to a corner. “Where’s Jackson?” Mike asked. “Off to ensure the other plan is a success,” Nathan replied. Mike placed a hand on Nathan’s left shoulder. “I’m so proud of you and I hope tonight favors us.”Nathan smiled. “When I said I was willing to do anything to get rid of Corrigan, I meant it. Tonight, Destiny shall favor me.”Mike gave repeated nods. “I believe so.”*** The special squad came with three vans to apprehend Corrigan after Ryan communicated with the State squad team. While Corrigan’s men were handcuffed and placed in one of the vans, their boss was kept in a separate van, surrounded by some members of the squad team with the leader.
CHAPTER ONE."You dingbat!" A voice yelled at Nathan.In a few hours he will turn 18 years old, and he spent his day cleaning the basketball court. He had pleaded with the coach to give him the cleaning contract, instead of hiring a professional cleaner to do the job. He looks up to see the owner of the unfriendly voice, only to get his face covered in a dirty sweaty smelly towel."I want that properly washed," Bernard said. "It's expensive, you probably can't afford it, even if you spent your entire life mopping basketball courts, so, you better not ruin my towel!"Nathan glared at Bernard in anger. He clenched his fist approaching him. "Be civil with your choice of words!"Bernard groaned, pulling Nathan's hair. Bernard was tall and huge, unlike small lanky Nathan. His masculine build was quite attractive."What did you say?" Bernard continued pulling his hair. "Will you wash the towel or not?""I never said I wouldn't wash it, just be civil while talking to me. that's all." Nathan
CHAPTER TWO."Hello? Baby." Nathan spoke into the phone. "Baby thank goodness you called. I was having such a terrible day.""That's not why I called, oh please spare me all that." Anabel's voice was husky and pissed. "I am not interested in any of that."Nathan nodded sadly, understanding Anabel was not in the mood. "How are you?" He managed to ask.Anabel's voice came out quickly over the phone. "There's a birthday party I need to attend tomorrow, our cheerleading captain is celebrating her birthday tomorrow night in a grand style. All my friends and cheerleaders will be going!"Nathan frowned deeply. Charlotte's birthday party was the least of his problems. "For the records I'm not going." He said firmly."Who's asking you to?" Anabel laughed. "There's no way she'll even invite you to her party. That's not why I called anyway.""Why did you call? I was working." Nathan said."I need 1000 dollars to buy a red dinner gown, we the cheerleading team has decided to storm the party in re
