Few seconds after the call, two muscular men appeared in the reception area.
“What is the matter Ms. Lucy?” one of the men inquired with a thick voice. “This beggar won’t get out despite asking him to leave multiple times. You should beat the hell out of him before throwing him out. Let him know this is a business company not an IDP camp”. “Hey beggar! Lucy said you should leave, why do you play stubborn?” The security guard said arrogantly. Ryan stared at the two men and frowned. “I’m no beggar,” he snapped under clenched teeth. “I came here to see the CEO and I’m not leaving until I’ve seen him,” he declared firmly. One of the security man curled his fist into a fist and approached Ryan. His eyes narrowed with anger and his gaze cold. Despite the man’s imposing physique, Ryan looked indifferent and didn’t panic. Once the man was close enough he growled, “When I’m done with you, you’ll know this is no place for stubborn beggars”. With that, he swing his fist as hard as he could at Ryan. With an effortless move, Ryan seized his fist mid-air. “I have no problem with you. All I want is to see the CEO,” Ryan said expressionlessly before lowering his hand roughly causing him to stagger momentarily. The security man was stunned. Did this beggar just seize his hand mid-swing? Maybe he only used a little of his power! “What are you doing, Mark?” Lucy snapped. “Stop playing around and kick this filthy beggar out,” she spat disdainfully. Mark was furious. This time, he bit his lower lip and unleashed a flurry of punches at Ryan with all his strength. In response, Ryan moved with cool precision, dodging each blow as Mark found himself striking nothing but air. The harder Mark tried to land a punch, the more frustrated he became. Out of the twenty punches he threw, not a single one connected with Ryan. Mark paused momentarily as he discovered Ryan was embarrassing him in front of his colleague and Lucy. He attempted a trick, pretending to walk away as if he’d given up. Then suddenly spun around and threw another punch, aiming to catch Ryan off guard. But Ryan wasn’t fooled. With a quick move, he caught the punch in midair. Mark's cheap trick only provoked Ryan’s anger. He twisted Mark’s arm sharply, causing him to wince in pain. Ryan then calmly slapped him across the face with the back of his hand. The force of the blow sent Mark sprawling to the floor, a tooth rolling away on the tiles. He lay motionless, knocked unconscious, without even a twitch. “Damn, you bastard!” yelled the second security guard as he charged toward Ryan. His fate was sealed. Before he could raise a hand, Ryan delivered a precise, calculated kick just below his left ear, sending him crashing to the floor beside Mark like a felled log. Lucy was dumbstruck, she opened her mouth to speak but no words came out. She couldn’t believe a single man took out two security men without breaking a sweat. She quickly grabbed the telephone. “Security, I need all of you at the lobby now!” Immediately she hung the telephone, a group of seven security men ran into the reception area. “What’s the problem, Lucy?” “This beggar knocked out Mark and Godwin. He’s a dangerous man, you should make him pay,” she said quickly pointing at Ryan. The man who seemed to be the head of the security looked at the two men laying on the floor and frowned. He snapped his fingers and together with his men they surrounded Ryan. “Don’t show any mercy boys, let’s beat this beggar to a pulp!” The head of security instructed coldly. Ryan gazed at the men with a murderous stare, only the almighty knew what would happen next. He clenched his fist so hard that his knuckles made a cracking sound. Just as the men prepared to attack, a voice called out from the stairs. “What’s going on here?” A rotund man with short legs descended the steps, a security guard following closely behind. It was Halbert Singh, the CEO of Pinnacle Investment. Seeing him, Lucy rushed over and bowed respectfully. Forcing a smile, she said, “It’s nothing serious, Mr. Singh. A beggar broke in and caused a disturbance. But don’t worry, the security team is about to teach him a lesson he won’t forget.” “I’m not a beggar!” Ryan snapped, his temper flaring. “I’ve told you repeatedly, I’m here to see the CEO of this company,” his voice rising with frustration. “Shut up! Do you even realize who you're speaking to?” Lucy spat. Gesturing toward the security guards, she snapped, “What are you waiting for? Throw this trash out!” “Wait!” the man shouted, stopping them in their tracks. “Mr. Singh, don’t waste your time on this—” Lucy began, but Halbert silenced her with a raised hand. Slowly, Halbert approached Ryan, eyeing him from head to toe, his expression thoughtful. “Who are you, and why do you want to see the CEO?” Ryan met his gaze boldly, pausing for a moment before replying. “I’m Ryan Wolf. And who are you?” he asked, his tone sharp with arrogance. Lucy clenched her fists tightly, struggling to hold back her anger. If her boss hadn’t intervened, she might have slapped Ryan herself. Even she didn’t speak to Halbert like that, let alone this man she thought was a beggar. But Halbert remained calm, unfazed. “I’m Halbert Singh, the CEO of this company. Now, tell me—why do you want to see me?” Ryan’s tense posture softened slightly, and he unclenched his fists. He stepped forward, but the security guards moved to block his path. Halbert gestured for them to stand down. Stopping a few feet away from the CEO, Ryan spoke firmly, “I’m here to claim ownership of this company.”

First Task as the manager
As soon as Michael’s eyes landed on Halbert, his heart pounded so hard it felt like it might shatter into pieces. In that moment, he knew he was doomed. Now that Halbert was here, his lies were bound to be exposed.Hannah’s breath hitched the moment she saw him. Without hesitation, she dropped to her knees.“Have mercy, Mr. Singh!” she pleaded desperately. “If my small company has offended you in any way, please tell me. I’ll do anything to make amends. If it pleases you, I’ll even rename the company after you—just please, don’t call off the deal.”Halbert’s brow furrowed as he took in the sight of the elderly woman kneeling before him. He quickly stepped forward, offering his hand to help her up.“Please, stand, Mrs. Kardashian,” he said gently. “There’s no need for this.”Once she was on her feet, he continued, “The deal will be reinstated immediately, but only after the condition I gave your grandson is met.”Hannah’s face twisted in confusion. “Condition?” she echoed, her voice la
Michael is Lying
Shortly after the call, Kim arrived the villa with Ryan. Walking into the living room, Hannah was tensed pacing back and forth her arms crossed behind while Kingsley and his son were seated on the couch.As soon as Kim stepped in, Hannah quickly approached her. “Kim dear, you have to go to Pinnacle Investment,” she said holding both of her shoulders, her voice tinged with worry.“Pinnacle? But why, grandma?”“Michael was there a few hours ago to deliver the contract papers and finalize the terms of the deal only to be told by Mr. Singh himself that the deal is off. That is why you must go to Pinnacle and beg him to reconsider his decision,” Hannah disclosed.“Just like that? Mr. Singh called off the deal, without giving any reason?” Kim stunned.“What did you hear, Kim? Just like that!” Michael chimed in arrogantly, his eyes fixed in his phone.“But why? Why would Mr. Singh go back on his words in less than 24 hours, it doesn’t make sense,” Kim pondered out.Ryan who stood beside the
The deal is off!
***Earlier that day, almost at the same time Ryan left to buy herbs for Catherine, Michael—now the manager of the Kardashians' KK’s Enterprise—arrived at Pinnacle Investment.Michael walked into the Pinnacle lobby with a jaunty, confident step, clutching a sleek black leather briefcase in one hand. On the other hand, he casually spun his Lamborghini keys around his fingers; the car he bought for himself misusing the company’s funds as the Chief Financial Officer.Taking a brief moment to scan the polished, bustling lobby, Michael’s gaze settled on the receptionist's desk. He strode toward it, his polished shoes clicking loudly against the marble floor.“Good day, sir. Welcome to Pinnacle Investment. How may—”Before the receptionist could finish her greeting, Michael cut her off with a raised palm. His dismissive gesture was accompanied by an air of impatience.“I don’t have time for these formalities. I need to see Halbert Singh, pronto,” he barked, glancing at his watch as if to em
Barnes is taught a lesson
Everyone stared at Ryan with wide eyes, a mixture of shock and disbelief etched their faces. Barnes was so shocked that he cringed back, stumbled on a size stool and fell to the floor before getting up again.He thought he was seeing a ghost.Catherine rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand to confirm she wasn’t hallucinating. Her jaw dropped when she realized she wasn’t. Yes, it was Ryan, her trash son-in-law whom she had connived with Barnes to get killed— was the same one standing in front of them unscathed.Kim was equally stunned seeing Ryan. Just now her mother and Barnes clearly told her Ryan had followed some widow and flown out of the country for good. How come he be here now?Ryan ignored their awkward gaze and approached Catherine. “Mom, you are no longer in pains, thank goodness! I was scared your condition might’ve worsen than it was initially before I left to buy the herbs. Please tell me how to prepare the herbs immediately”.Catherine was awestruck— her lips shook u
Liars!
“Left? What do you mean Ryan’s left for good?” Kim asked, her voice laced with confusion.Catherine dabbed at her eyes with a tissue, feigning woe. “Forgive me, Kim. I tried to stop him—I begged him not to go, but he wouldn’t listen. He’s left you, left us... and he’s not coming back.”Kim’s brows furrowed deeper. “Ryan’s left the house? Mom, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”Catherine slowly wiped away her crocodile tears, her expression a picture of faux sorrow. “Kim, dear,” she began, her voice heavy with contrived emotion, “your husband has left you for a middle-aged millionaire widow who lives abroad. He admitted everything to me—he said she came into town months ago on a business deal, and he’s been cheating on you with her for the past two months.”Kim stared in stunned silence as Catherine continued her tale of deceit.“He confessed that he never truly loved you,” Catherine said, her voice trembling with exaggerated grief. “He’s been pretending all these years just to le
Barnes and Catherine
***The moment Ryan stepped out of the house Catherine sat up, stopped groaning, and chuckled mischievously. The change in demeanor was instant—no one who had seen her gasping and wailing a few minutes ago would believe she was the same person now grinning with satisfaction.She snatched her phone from the table and dialed a number. “He’s on his way. You know what to do,” she said curtly before hanging up.Without hesitation, she made another call. “Everything is going perfectly. I’ve sent that loser straight to his grim reapers. You can come over now—it’s time for plan number two,” she whispered, her voice dripping with malice. A sly chuckle escaped her lips as she ended the call.Once she finished the second call, she tossed the phone back to the table, leaned her back into the couch with a sigh of relief. Whatever she was orchestrating was clearly going her way, and she couldn’t have been more pleased. Not long after, there was a sharp knock on the front door of the house. Ca
