Chapter: 69. I- begged you already.
"You are kidding right?" Mel asked. She didn't think he would get so serious about letting her go all of a sudden. In fact, she couldn't bear the shame that would come along with This was a man she left everything for, abandoned Manchester and Nelson just so she could be with him. A man who thought that she had always been single and always gave her whatever she needed or wanted without her having to try too hard. She also couldn't fathom life without him, not now. She had plans to use his wealth to set herself up, to start up a business, to own a fashion line or to run a prestigious company like him, but he's about to let her go, just like that. "I already said that I am sorry," she pleaded, falling to her knees before him with those puppy eyes that always seemed to get his attention. "I said I was just trying to get your attention to know why you were so sad since yesterday. I love you so much, Roger, and you love me too, please don't do this to me." "Just pack your things and

Chapter: 68. I- am done
"That freak of a man!" Mel snapped after multiple attempts to reach Manchester, but he continued to ignore her call. From the first to the seventh time, and if she's being honest, this was a shock. Somehow, she imagined in her head that Manchester still loved her and still wanted her. She always assumed that he was jealous of getting a new relationship and wouldn't hesitate to win her back if he could. And most of all, she thought that Manchester would want her to beg for his forgiveness, but she wasn't in the mood for all that thought at the moment. All that she could think about was Nelson's life, which was in danger. She couldn't care less if anything happened to Manchester himself, but there was still a place for the little kid in her heart, even though she had deliberately closed it up with greed. She wasn't too worried about anything happening to Nelson in Manchester's care, but the death threat hit her hard. She didn't want him to die, but she also didn't want to give Cain

Chapter: 67. I- am not calling to beg for your mercy
After a long night spent drinking at the bar, Manchester had to wake up and face reality once more, and that is the legal case in hand. Of course, he didn't have the intelligence to crack the case open, but that's where the I-mode system comes into play. He spent a few minutes staring at the system's screen, his dashboard showed that he only needed 400 more exp to unlock the sixth and seventh case. And since the paternal dispute happens to be the fourth case, he desperately wants to unlock the other two before he gets to case number five. The whole reason why he's been thinking about this is because he wanted to spend three hundred exp to boost his intelligence. He could use the detective clue ticket, but from what he has seen so far, it wouldn't give him the immediate results he wanted. After a lot of consideration, Manchester decided that it was better to save his points and use the clue ticket instead, the last one remaining. "I hope I don't regret this," he uttered, befor

Chapter: 66. I- would have to be dead to accept Mel back into my life
9 pm Manchester invited a close friend, Jesse, for a drink and a chat. As expected, he disclosed everything that had happened to him, while leaving the system out of the conversation. "She took him shopping!" Jesse exclaimed in shock as Manchester narrated today's incident to him, "She loves that kid more than she loves you, Man." "They even got matching pyjamas," he added, followed by a humourless chuckle, "They are having a lot of fun together, at least she likes him and isn't bothered at all to take care of him. Nelson even calls him mommy, I've told the little kid to stop that, but what does he know?" "Just marry her," Jesse commented, immediately followed by a heartfelt laughter, "I'm just kidding, but women like her are rare, but you are not that kind of guy, that I know." "No, no, absolutely not," Manchester shook his head from side to side before tightening his grip on the beer mug and taking a sip, "I'm not the kind of guy that will move on with his wife's friend be

Chapter: 65. I- think you love this baby more than I do
As Manchester stood before the lady who was now back home, his heart was crushed as he watched the tears drop from her eyes. In as much as he wanted her to get some answers on her husband's whereabouts, he didn't expect it to be a picture of their burnt car with a statement confirming that he died in flames. "I am so sorry," he muttered because it was the only thing he could say. Certainly, nothing can console a woman who learns that she lost her husband to this kind of accident three months later. Both her kids stood next to her, their hands on their mother's shoulder while they stared at the pictures in her hand. Tears clouded their eyes, and they trickled down their chins at intervals. "He shouldn't have left," she said, "He should have just stayed at home; he would be alive today, wouldn't he?" While the family grieved, Manchester excused himself and returned to his car, parked in front of their apartment. He sighed heavily after taking a seat behind the steering wheel.

Chapter: 64. I- found the subject's car
The entire crew, consisting of over thirty policemen in cars and motorcycles, went in search of the car that Manchester had shown them. They followed the alternative route, which they assumed the restaurant's owner had taken, and a search along that area is nearly similar to searching for a needle in a haystack. Both sides of the road were covered in thick forest, stretching a few hundred kilometres. Upward on the left, which mostly consisted of rocks, and downwards on the right. It'll take a twenty-minute drive through this lonely path before getting to the highway, which is why most people avoid it. Usually, the road is closed down for most of the year due to how lonely it is but it reopened from November to February when it gets a lot busier. Another reason it was closed down was because of numerous reports of car theft and robbery along the path, which is not a surprise. "It has been over two hours," Manchester sighed heavily, "No signs of his car anywhere yet; we've drive

Chapter: 《299》The end
"I just got the baby to sleep, damm," Claudia sighed and sat next to her husband on the couch."I guess the maids can't do everything, " she added."You gave birth to quite the town crier," Tristan chuckled and Claudia laughed,"We, gave birth... not just me, by the way, I found this in one of those old briefcases that you no longer use," she held up a string covered in glitter and Tristan's jaws dropped in shock."I can't believe it," He took it from her, staring at it with a mix of so many emotions. He remembered that string from five years ago when the system had asked him to play the philanthropist role and visit that orphanage. "She'd be a grown-up by now," He uttered and Claudia raised a brow wondering who he was talking about."I can't remember her name, but it was a young girl, about 5 years old I met her at an orphanage once, she was so happy to make me a bracelet, and I gave her my wristwatch in return, I can't believe I still have it after all these years.""Awn," Claudia

Getting rid of the barrier that stopped her hand from touching his skin, Claudia did the needful, and anyone might think it's massaging but that would be wrong, she played with it, constantly looking into Tristan's eyes to ensure that he responded accordingly to her punishment. With every trace of fluid, she could tell that he was at the breaking point, but she wanted him to say it, believing that a man who is thirsty enough wouldn't hesitate to beg for water to drink."Please," He finally gave in, he no longer saw the need to keep his thought to himself. He lost his mind a long time ago but has struggled to keep it together. That was all she needed to hear, the pleading voice of her man, his surrender to her, his submission and notng more, as much as she tortured him, Claudia tortured herself equally, so she was more than happy to begin the process.Letting Tristan get rid of her clothes, they both indulge in doing the needful, as Claudia took the lead like she wanted, but Tristan

"You wore this dress on purpose tonight, didn't you?" Tristan asked, gazing lovingly at his wife who sat on the bed where he lay. Her red silky short dress was alluring and no doubt tempting to whatever eyes see it, her red painted nails added to the mix as though she has untold agendas. She turned to him and replied,"What do you think, what's if I did?" She asked and Tristan could already tell what it was that his wife demanded.She had been busy all week, and this weekend she got a break, she had clung to him as though there was a piece of honey left that she had yet to taste."I think you did," Tristan replied and sat up, he leaned forward to kiss he on the lip but Clauide pushed him backwards. "No no," she said,"Lay back down, Tristan," she added, her voice was both soft and demanding, and what more could he do than listen to the woman who seemed to know what she wanted? He had been at home all day, rested enough and was always ready for her.Claudia climbed unto the bed and

"I can't believe you did this," Claudia uttered whilst staring at the ring on her finger. She was lying in bed next to Tristan who was tired and would be going to bed soon."At least you said yes," Tristan uttered, stroking her hair gently because she was lying in his arms."Imagine how much I would have cried tonight if you had said no," He added jokingly.Claudia faked a frown and turned to face him,"Why would I say no?" She asked him,"It's been four years Tristan, and I always felt like I'd know when you would propose, but you took me completely by surprise. My friend and coursemates have been texting me nonstop, I can't even respond to all of them today, I'm too tired.""Look," Tristan pointed at the clock hanging on the wall,"it's past midnight, 1:44 am.

10
Being wealthy is fun especially when you grew up as an orphan. But the seemingly flashy and glamorous world of wealthy men has hidden secrets, so dark and so diabolical, and it took Oscar only one week to realise.

But while he tries to pay back those who wronged him in the past, Oscar is also faced with life-threatening situations. Tasked with finding his missing father and staying alive, Oscar couldn't tell whether he was better off wealthy or middle class.

Chapter: 150. Trespassing.
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

Chapter: 149. Cheated?
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

Chapter: 148. Promotion at the Slytherin Empire
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

Chapter: 147. Stop sounding like Aston Slytherin.
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

Chapter: 146. Liar!
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.
