2024-05-13 23:45:25On his way back to the Slytherin's mansion, Oscar couldn't overlook the jewel shop he saw along the way. The name of the store caught his attention especially because they make the most beautiful and expensive jewelry in West Arcadia.
He recalled how many times Ellen had told him that she wanted to visit this place, to purchase one of the most expensive Neal Diamond rings. For Oscar back then, buying a ring worth over two hundred million dollars was the last thing he'd ever think of. But with his current net worth, Oscar knew that he could buy one hundred of it if he wanted, and would still remain rich. But what was the point? Ellen was no longer with him, except... "Turn the car," He ordered the driver and Leo couldn't help but ask, "Did you forget something?" "No, I mean back to the jewellery shop, I need to get something from there if you don't mind," He replied, and Leo couldn't help but marvel at how respectful Oscar was, despite how much he had acquired overnight. "As soon as Oscar realizes the kind of people he'll have to deal with, he will have no choice but to be ruthless." Leo thought to himself, he knew that the world of wealthy people isn't run by soft-minded individuals, but by ruthless men and women who wouldn't hesitate to seize every opportunity to take down another. "Of course sir," He replied as the car turned around, driving straight to the jewellery shop. On getting there, he walked into the jewellery shop, along with one of the bodyguards, he couldn't help but admire everything he saw inside there, but Oscar was after just one thing, the Neal diamond ring. "Excuse me?" He met one of the shop attendants, a young man in his early twenties, tall and elegant, but full of pride, just like most workers here. "Yes, can I help you?" He asked Oscar with a straight face, he knew most of the influential people in Axel City, but he hadn't seen this man anywhere. Sure he looked wealthy, but most wealthy people don't come in here on their own, they send their assistants, so he believed that Oscar was nothing more than the assistant to a wealthy man. "I'd like to see the Neal diamonds please," He said to him, and the man rolled back his eyes disdainfully. "Would you like to see it, or buy it? We don't let anyone just see it, it's not an artwork on display." The man replied, with a hint of disregard in his tone. Oscar noticed this behaviour and just assumed that he was one of those underpaid workers who chose to transfer their aggression to innocent customers. "I'd like to buy it," He replied. "For who?" The man asked, trying to know which of the many rich men, Oscar worked for. "Excuse me?" Oscar asked. "What business do you have with whom I'm buying it for?" "Tsk tsk," "Why are you acting like you are buying this for yourself? We all know you can't afford it, so tell me, who is your boss?" Oscar's jaws dropped in astonishment, "This is how you treat customers in this place?" He asked, and the young man rolled his eyes. "Hey!" Oscar's bodyguard grabbed the young man by the collar, "He wants to see the Neal diamonds, then show him the Neal diamond." "Don't touch me!" He yelled, and this drew the attention of a few shoppers and other salespeople in the store. "I said if he wants to see the Neal Diamonds... "Wait, what's going on here?" One of the security who came in as soon as he heard the noise asked, he saw Oscar's bodyguard holding onto the salesman and instructed him to let go, but he refused until Oscar said so. "It's one of these assistants, he claims that he wants to buy the Neal diamond for himself, but we all know that he cannot afford it. I think he should be arrested because he must have stolen enough money from his boss." The salesman exclaimed and Oscar could not believe his ears. "How does someone just assume that I would even steal from... how can a person think like this?" He wondered. And what surprised him the most was the fact that a lot of people agreed with him, these included some customers and even other sales people. "Excuse me, sir, who is your boss?" The security asked and tried to approach Oscar but his bodyguards blocked his path. "Step out of the way," the security commanded him, but instead of responding, Oscar's bodyguard tapped the ear pod and uttered, "There is a need for back up in here, I repeat there is a need for back up in here." Back at the receiving end, inside the car that was parked across the store, the other three bodyguards got the message and proceeded to get out of the car immediately. "Is everything okay?" Leo asked. "It appears that Mr Oscar is in trouble." One of the guards replied, before closing the door. "What the hell?"

As he walked into the Slytherin mansion, Nigel couldn't believe his eyes, it looked as if they lived on an entirely different planet because their home was just grand both inside and out. For a moment, he wished to become a member of the family, just so he could visit the mansion every day or even live there. But his admiration of the mansion was cut short when the voice of a young man called his attention from behind. "Please sit down," He said and Nigel nodded before taking his seat on the sofa, waiting for them to attend to him as soon as they could. Mark came to him in less than five minutes and he submitted the papers. Mark signed on to other blank spaces and spent a lot of time reviewing the information on the documents. It has a lot to do with Nigel's contributions to the company handed down directly from the managing director at the London branch, and it was meant to help Mark determine what kind of promotion Nigel was to be given. After accessing the information, which

Inside the elevator he took a deep breath and waited until he got to the sixth floor. He stepped out and walked his way down the last office and knocked gently on the door. “Come in,” Aston's voice responded from the inside, and without further ado, Nigel walked into the office and met the CEO of the Slytherin Empire staring at a picture on his phone. The expression on his farces was somewhat disturbing, like he had just seen a dead body or a gruesome sight from a crime scene. Looking at him again, anyone could think he was irritated, but Nigel would rather not ask him any questions since it had nothing to do with him, but at the same time he hoped he wasn't being too insensitive. “Good afternoon sir,” He greeted Aston and the CEO lifted his head from the phone and replied “Yes, sit down,” His gaze returned to the screen, and this time, Nigel couldn't hold back his curiosity. “Hope I didn't come in at the wrong time?” “Huh?” Aston raised a brow, clearly he was distracted, bu

They picked up Nigel not so far away a headed fod a garden far-off into the city. The drive was rather peaceful, no one said a word to each other, not even Oscar. The lively moments between mother and son ended and now the depressing moment carried on until they got to the reserved park. Once they got into the park, there were several suits and exclusive restaurants scattered across the land mass, and with the help of Tom, they got a reservation at the best sitting area. It was situated inside the hotel at the park, designed for the elites. As the walked in, drinks were already set on their table, with clean glasses for them to drink with. As they sat down, a waiter approached them to take their orders, and in this place, whatever food was ordered will be cooked and served fresh, and just to make it more exciting and luxurious, the customer were given the exclusive menu, consisting of the most exotic dishes from across the world. The menu was a large book, having pictures of

Oscar did not just take Amy out of the room but out of the mansion, she made her get into the car and for the first time in a long while, Oscar was going to drive into the street alone. But Tom having spotted them from afar, signalled other bodyguards and immediately followed them from behind, whilst maintaining a good distance. Neither Oscar nor his mother said a word while they were together, he knew the emotional tumult, he knew that her heart was broken, shattered to pieces. He knew that she wanted to strangle Aston to death and he didn't blame her for feeling that way. Aston was a dubious man, nothing about him was good maybe the fact that he founded the Slytherin Empire. The tales he's heard of this man from Stephen are not ones of he was willing to share just yet, but even though it was not part of their plans, Oscar felt that it was time to introduce his mother to Nigel. Stephen had introduced Nigel to him and had told him how far they had gone in their research befor

She paced back and forth in the room and both Oscar and Leo watched her without saying a word, she was in a very bad state, and if only Oscar would let her, No was willing to run out of the room to make trouble with her husband. For a woman in her mid-fifties, Amy was quite strong, she knew how to get what she wanted and would go to any length to get it, but with Oscar pleading with her to stay calm and keep the door locked, she has no choice but to inhaled and exhale repeatedly until she was a little bit calm.Suddenly a knock was heard on the door, looking through the peephole, Oscar sighed in frustration, it was none other than the man whose presence had ruined their whole day.He opened the door to let him in, and as if Amy knew he was the one, she threw a pillow at him, one after the other until Oscar came in between them and stopped the pillows from hitting Oscar. He also approached Amy and tried to stop her once again. "What a way to welcome me, Amy," Aston scoffed, staring a

“I see that we already know each other,” Aston smirked, his eyes staring into the eyes of the young man who was supposed to be his son. How quick they were to conclude, how swift they were to make him the CEO in his absence without even knowing whether or not they were related.The striking resemblance was too much to go unnoticed, but most people will argue that it's possible because people look alike in the world and this could just be a sheer coincidence.“Yes, so it seems,” Oscar nodded his head in agreement,“And from what I know, you went missing three months ago, it's good to see you back,” Oscar said and didn't let go of Amy, the lady fuming with anger and Oscar could feel it build up with each passing second. “Well yes, I have been away for a long time,” Aston uttered nonchalantly, and stole a glance at Amy, “And oh, before I forget,” He added and turned around to face Miles.“This is my son, Miles Slytherin,” He said, leaving everyone's jaws to drop to their feet.
