The CharismaticVincent Carter

CHAPTER 1: The unknown lady from the Brooks

Downtown Club,

Vincent was on a night working shift he was serving some customers their orders when a glass slipped his hands and fell, shattering into pieces the whine in it spilled everywhere.

He quickly bent down to clean it up when his boss Mrs. Lana rushed out in anger.

“Am sorry!” he said but was cut off with a slap before he could even finish his sentence.

“You wretched guy!” I bet all you want is my downfall, you just want to spoil my business, don't you!? Did I spoil your life!? Did I cause you wretchedness!?” Mrs. Lana yelled, shouting and roaring with fire.

Vincent can only bow his head in embarrassment, he can't believe his life is now worse to the extent that a girl who is old enough to be his younger sister is the one feeding him and paying his bills.

“What a foolish man he is so handsome yet he works for Lana and gets treated like a slave” one of the harlot girls sitting not too far away hissed in annoyance.

“He deserved it, I even offered him thousands of dollars just for him to get in my bed once but he still declined like I was some disease” another one mocked.

“If he can offer to be my friend, I mean friend to bed then I will do nothing less than to make him happy I will even give him all my savings but he has that one problem and that's arrogance” another one scoffed chewing her gum like her life depends on it.

Lana and Vincent heard what they said and that's also the only reason Lana is keeping him close she has tried to seduce him times without number but he always shoves her off, Unable to get him in her bed she decided to keep him because most of the harlots visit her club mainly because of him.

Vincent cleaned the broken glasses and took them to the dustbin when one of his colleagues came and told him the boss was calling him.

He cleaned his hands and left for Lana’s office.

“You sent for me,” he said bowing with respect.

Lana stood up and walked towards him. “Yes, I did," she said, handing him a new uniform. “Change your shirt to a new one” You don't have to wash this dirty uniform. She said with a smile.

“Thanks,” Vincent replied. Bowing slightly he turned to walk out of the room but the door was locked. He turned back towards Lana trying to suppress his anger. “The door,” he said slightly.

“Change it here,” Lana said, folding her arms beneath her bosom.

“Okay!” he said plainly, he unbuttoned his shirt and wanted to change into the new one when Lana walked closer to him. She moved her hands towards his body and started caressing his abs seductively “Why don't you just be my man and I will end all your sufferings just in a minute”.

She bites on her lower lips and moves her hand towards his lower body. Vicent grabbed her hand and pushed her away.

“Enough of your jokes Lana! Am not just interested in your tricks, can please leave my life alone!?” Vicent yelled angrily. For the first time since he got to the bar, he yelled at her. even Lana was surprised.

Unfazed by his angry face she grabbed his face and dragged it closer to hers forcibly kissing him but he shoved her away before it could get deeper, “drop the nonsense act while I was still being nice” he yelled at the top of his lungs.

“How dare you!?” You must be willing to lose your job Lana threatened angrily.

“Losing my job!? That's even more fun, the moment I called you by your name I knew I had already lost it”. Vicent sneered. Breaking the door open, he walked out majestically.

Remembering how his life had turned worse in just three months got him more annoyed.

Alicea Cater, his adoptive mother, has lied against him in front of Flora Carter, his grandmother, causing his grandmother to hate him and angrily chase him away.

Alicea and her husband came to adopt him when he was just six years old mainly because they couldn't have a kid after their four years of marriage.

Alicea has taken care of him and shown him a lot of attention alongside her husband ( Jude Carter) but when her prayer got answered she had a son two years after his adoption. Jude passed away a few months after she gave birth to Mike, and despite that Flora still cared about Vincent more than Mike, ever since then Alicea grew hatred for Vincent.

When Vincent and Mike were finally of age and Flora could decide who to be her next successor Alicea sent some assassins to kill Vincent.

Their mission failed and she thinks of poisoning him herself but her timid son drank the coffee instead and almost lost his life, using that as an excuse Alicea lied to Flora that Vincent wants to kill her son all because he wants to be the chairman. Flora angrily sent Vincent out of the house and blocked all his connections to the Carters.

Recounting all the memories, Vincent could only smile faintly. As he took out a cigarette and lit it when a call from an unknown number entered his phone.

Picking it up it turns out to be Mike.

“Hey, fake brother!” Mike mocked over the phone.

“You sure have some courage!” Vincent replied with a smirk.

“How is working in a club and getting treated like a slave under a lady that is my dog!?” Mike taunted again while laughing sarcastically.

“You crazy freak!” Vincent yelled, cutting off the call furiously. Turns out Lana was also one

of Mike's lackeys.

He angrily threw the cigarette away and went to the restroom. He was still easing himself when a lady stumbled in.

Madam this is the men’s restroom go to the other restroom Vincent yelled sipping up his trouser before the lady could get to him.

Looking at the lady, her dress was so casual, meaning she was not one of the club's harlots. Also she seems familiar to him but he can't remember where he knew her.

He finished sipping up his trousers and cleansing his hand when the lady suddenly rushed towards him she wrapped her hands around his neck kissing him intensely Vincent suddenly grabbed her closer to him and slammed his lips on hers he chewed on her lips like he had been craving for it.

The kiss got more intense and Vincent pulled her out of the toilet they kissed till they reached one of the rooms reserved for VIP customers.

Vincent checked his pocket and to his amusement he had the room key, kicking the door open the girl pushed him onto the bed and started undressing herself.
