Emilia’s crazy party was still ongoing when Rodney returned. He packed his things, said goodbye to his drunken sister and left her with a letter warning her to be more careful and less reckless. He told her she was welcome to contact him if she needed anything. Rodney arrived in New York and went straight to Harvey’s apartment where they reunited happily. The next day, he and Harvey went to check on the companies. He was relieved to find everything running smoothly. Harvey had achieved beyond expectations. Rodney had a feeling one of the contributors was Harvey’s happiness. Since he had moved his whole family to New York, he was much happier and less worried. Although Rodney was happy to see his friend, he couldn’t wait to see his own family.Four days later, he was on a plane heading to Europe with his little sister. Lyra was more excited than he was. She couldn’t wait to see Europe. They arrived at the small French town at 10 in the night. When they knocked on the house, Rodney’s h

Alberto was killed on his first day at the maximum prison. After his escape, he had been taken to a more secure prison where he could only dream of escaping. Unfortunately for him, that was where other notorious crimes were being held, including some notorious drug lords who had been his competitors. One of them was El Monstruo. He had been sold out by Alberto two years back and he had sworn to get his revenge. When Alberto was taken to the prison he was in, he managed to bribe a guard to lace Alberto’s food with drugs. When Alberto felt weak, he sneaked in and killed him. That was how a man who had always been so cautious went down.Rodney wasn’t happy when he heard the news. He wasn’t very sad, either. He had thought he’d be overjoyed when Alberto died but he didn’t feel so. He had never really thought Alberto needed to die. He just wanted him pay for his sins. Rodney was even a bit disappointed because he had hoped Alberto would be alive to witness his downfall. He had hoped Albert

The sound of fists pounding against flesh filled the air as the Rodrigo relentlessly attacked the Rodney. Rodney had been knocked to the ground. He tried to shield himself with his arms, but it was no use. Rodrigo who was fueled by anger and resentment, continued to pummel him without mercy.“Stop it, stop it!” Rodney cried out.But Rodrigo only sneered and continued his assault, landing blows to Rodney's face and stomach. The younger man tried to crawl away, but the older and stronger one grabbed him by the hair and yanked him back, raining more blows down upon him.Finally, Rodney managed to break free and got up to his feet, gasping for breath. He wanted to leave the room, tired of hearing Rodrigo’s mocking laughter following him.Suddenly, uncle Markos came into the room and delivered a strong punch to Rodrigo’s face. Rodrigo raised his hand to strike his uncle, but Markos held his hand. Rodrigo’s strength was nothing compared to his uncle’s.“What’s wrong with you, boy?” he asked

Alberto.“What are you doing here?” Alberto asked his son. “I’m pretty sure you’re mighty glad I’m here.”Rodney smiled. “You’re not wrong. I’m glad you’re here, where you belong.”Alberto chuckled. “So what? You came to gloat? I must warn you. I’ll not last long here so be careful about what you say or do. I might just ruin your life when I get out.”“Then I’ll make sure to enjoy the time I have while you’re stuck behind bars then. I’m enjoying this more than you think, Alberto. You know why? Because I was the one who told the police where you were.”Alberto’s lips slightly parted as the words sunk in.“That’s right,” Rodney said. “The son you think is no good actually managed to put you in jail. Alberto, the greatest drug lord whom many have tried to capture but have failed. Rodney Nelson, the good for nothing son with one kidney actually did it. The woman you killed must be very proud of her son, wherever she is.”Alberto rose and swiftly grabbed Rodney’s neck with his handcuffed h

Two weeks laterRodney was tired of being confined in Alberto’s mansion. He had reached his breaking point after begging alberto to let him go in vain. Taking care of Lyra was the only thing that gave him some comfort. One afternoon, he was sitting on the edge of the bed, his sister seated on a small stool. He carefully combed through her soft, curly hair, trying to gently untangle the unruly knots.“Ow, that hurts!” Lyra protested, squirming in his grip. Her hair had been messier than before that morning.“I'm sorry, Ly, but you have to let me comb your hair,” Rodney told her, trying to be patient.He continued to comb the hair, using his fingers to gently loosen the tangles. His sister’s hair was so curly and thick, and it was a struggle to get through it all. Finally, he finished and leaned back to admire his handiwork, a proud smile spreading across his face.“I’m done now,” he said. “You have the most beautiful hair in the world.”Lyra giggled, reaching up to touch her now-smooth

Miss Jones.Miss Jones was marking her student’s maths homework after having her lunch. When she came upon Lyra Sandman’s homework, she paused, feeling mildly annoyed. She remembered the girl’s brother who had promised to call her but had ghosted her instead. She felt more annoyed at herself for flirting with him. That’s what you get for flirting with your students’ parents, she chastised herself. She decided it would be the last time she would ever do something like that.She decided to forget the brother and focus on her student’s work. She realised this was Lyra’s best work. She figured the brother must have been helping her with it. Before, Lyra’s homework was always poorly done, as if there was no responsible person to help her with it at home. She felt admiration for the man.When she reached the second last paragraph, she saw something that had been written in a smaller font in between the paragraphs.“Lives on the wrong address. Details faked. Both stuck. Most wanted dl. Don’t

Julian was now sandwiched between two strong men in the backseat. The man in a green shirt had disappeared when he was bundled into the van.“Who are you?” Julian asked.The men didn’t say anything. The one on his right pulled out a bottle of water from a bag and drank it, sighing afterwards. The other one nodded his head to the low music playing on the radio. Realising that he was not going to get the answers he wanted, Julian decided to find a way of getting out of the van. He remembered his uncle telling him about his family’s enemies that had drove his parents away.Bending his thumb inwards, he felt the ring on his middle finger. He wondered why the men with him had not made any move to remove it from him. Were this kidnappers sent by someone else?When they reached a steep corner, Julian side-eyed the door handle before glancing at the man on his right. The man looked at him and narrowed his eyes.“Where did you put the ropes, Garner.”“I put them in the trunk,” Garner, the man

“I’m so glad you got that scholarship because I don’t know what I’d have done without you around here,” Gary told Julian as they came out of the college library. It was their third day in the Fayetteville College and they had gone to borrow books needed for some of the courses they were taking. Julian led the way down a well-lit hallway, Gary following close. “I’m happy as well,” Julian said. Since Julian was now rich, he did not need any scholarship. But for the sake of hiding the amount of money he had, Mason had to create a scholarship that only sponsored three students in the college. Had Julian not joined as a scholarship kid, it would raise eyebrows since everyone knew how poor he was. The college was the most prestigious in the country, and the best in the city. “This place is great.”At the end of the hallway, the branched into another that led them out of the building. They had walked a few metres when they spotted Kyle, Logan and Jake coming up the pavement. Julian consid

Chapter 13Julian turned and saw Kyle Washington walking in to the shop with a two tall blonde women, each at either side of him. He smirked as he walked towards Julian with the women. The sales assistant quickly went to them, completely ignoring Julian who had got there first.“Good morning, Mr. Washington. Welcome to the store. I’m Amy and will be helping you with whatever you need.”Kyle ignored her like the bastard he was. He was focused on Julian.“Katy, this is the loser I told you about. Julian Ford. The one who broke his leg to get the scholarship and accused us of doing it. Very pathetic, isn’t he?”“Yeah, sounds like a loser,” the taller girl said. “What are you doing here, loser? This is no place for your kind.”“I’m here to buy some shoes,” Julian said proudly.The three laughed out loud. “You didn’t tell me he was a comedian,” the shorter blond told Kyle, before standing on her toes to kiss him on the laps. Julian and the sales woman watched the exchange feeling disguste

Several hours later, Julian walked out of the mansion. It had taken a while but he had finally come to terms with his situation. As he headed to the car, he felt like he was walking on air. He couldn’t believe that he had a million dollars within his reach and he could do whatever he wanted with it. Julian wanted to do a happy dance and celebrate but he couldn’t do it among his parent’s employees. When he was dropped at Gary’s house, he walked into the house happily, feeling like screaming on top of his lungs. When he entered the living room, he was saddened to see only the maid who disliked him.She groaned. “You’re back again. When will we ever get rid of you?”“Why do you despise me so much? I have never done anything bad to you.”“You’re a waste of space, and you’re not worth cleaning up after. I hate that I have to work for a broke nobody like you. Save us the trouble and leave.”“I don’t need to stay here anymore,” Julian said.“How great!” she said.“Where is Gary?” he asked.

“The Ford family is one of the most powerful families in the world,” Mason said as Julian watched him sceptically. “We have many secrets that are not known to most of the world. Many centuries ago, one of our ancestors discovered several magical artefacts in a cave he had just bought. Sir William Ford had just moved to America when he used all his money to buy the cave. He had it inspected by several cavers who gave him everything they had discovered. William was a historian so we spent a lot of time studying the artefacts trying to figure out what they were and what they could do. Eventually, he found out that they were magical and talked to a few experts in the field. He realised that he could do a lot of things with them so he manipulated several situations in his favour and soon became one of the richest men in the city. For centuries, the family continued to prosper while many wondered how they were able to make so much money. At some point, the Ford women were accused of witch

Julian opened more pages of the book but couldn’t see anything. All the pages were blank. He sighed and closed the book.“Useless book,” he said.“Sorry man,” Gary said. “I thought you’d find something useful in there.”Julian wanted to throw the book out of the window but he remembered everything that had happened to him. Maybe the book would come in handy at some point.When they reached Gary’s house, Julian wanted to be alone. He went to his room and threw the book on the table. The book fell open when it landed on the table top. Julian was about to turn away when he saw words on the open page. He did another take to make sure he was seeing right. He could swear that the page had been blank before but he chose not to dwell on that.He picked up the book and saw an address written on it. He opened other pages to see if there was something on them but found nothing. Julian grabbed a piece of paper and copied the address hoping it wouldn’t disappear. He opened the drawer and saw a few
