The men emptied a bucket of water on Darlington, and those around felt nothing but pity for him. Some felt he got what he deserved, if he hadn't gone after another man's wife, he would not have been in the situation.Darlington gasped for breath and cried, “Please, I am going to die.”Sydney continued, “You should die, I don't care. Next time you will never go after someone else's woman.” Each time Darlington collapsed, water was dumped on his face, and then Sydney continued until it was a hundred times.Darlington had lost six of his teeth, his cheek swollen, and blood dripping from his mouth. No words could explain how the man was feeling at the moment.Dean was on the verge of collapsing after he had witnessed what happened to Darlington. He started begging for his life.As the men loosened their grip on Darlington, he fell to the floor. Roger turned to Asher. “Mr Mancini, what do we do to him?”“You should take him to your place, and Augustus will come along with you. Break his a

Just as the voice echoed, everyone looked at him, even Rebecca and her mother were startled when they saw him, but that didn't stop them from hitting the two people.Asher didn't move, he shoved his hand into his pocket. It was Roger, Logan's brother.The chief of the slum people, but since Vandy was no more, Roger had taken over every territory and had now become the overlord.Dean was one of his few leaders within the slum. However, he failed to realise something that would soon unfold before him.He never expected it, but then it happened, Roger's eyes darted towards Asher.“Boss, here is the man. He said you can't do anything to him. He said we are all weaklings?” Dean said trying to stir up matters.In the next second, Roger walked and grabbed Dean by the shirt, “Who did you say did this?” He whispered.Dean unaware of what was happening, pointed at Asher confidently. The latter had no idea who Asher was, but seeing how his boss was, made him wonder what was going on. “Boss, th

“That's him! Teach him a lesson.”The man's name was Dean. He furrowed his brow, then spoke in a cold and authoritative tone. “So, it's you. How dare you challenge Mr. Darlington Jerome? Are you tired of living.’Asher chuckled and asked. “Who are you? What did he tell you? If I were you, I wouldn't have come over.”Dean stared at him. He wondered why Asher spoke to him that way. Wasn't Asher scared of him? He looked confused.After a long pause, he spoke out. “Hey, loser! I don't care to know where you are from.”Asher cut him off immediately, "I am happy you don't care, that way you will get a good beating when it's time.”Darlington's patience was wearing thin. “Why are you hesitating? This loser has no background. Just beat the hell out of him and make him kneel before me. Forget about what will happen, I will take full responsibility.”Dean let out an evil smirk, “Let's see if he can still talk when I am done with him. I will break his legs and watch him cry for mercy.”Darlingto

Sydney has mixed feelings, Asher was right, but the decision he had to make, given that he loved Kate so much. He couldn't deny the fact that he hated being made to do several house chores, but how would he leave her? And moreover, he was sure that his brother wouldn't run away.After the two men exchanged numbers, suddenly, a hand was hurled across Sydney's face. He staggered backwards.Gasp rippled through the hallway, leaving those around shocked and confused.Kate glared at Sydney before she shouted. “What are you doing here? Didn't I warn you not to leave without my permission?”Kate's mother was dissatisfied and spoke out. “You can't blame him, he is useless. What was even more irritating was that Kate had another man by her side while she was married to Sydney.Sydney trembled. He felt embarrassed by the scene, “I am sorry, I was having a discussion with Mr. Mancini.”Kate had a very ugly expression on her face at this time. She didn't care if he was with someone. “Do you hav

That morning, Asher, Isabella, and Dave, had gone to the mall as promised by Asher himself. They held hands as they approached the entrance.Dave kept smiling and jumping in excitement, he was not happy because they had come to the mall, but because Asher was back.At this time, Sydney was standing by the door when he saw Asher. He could clearly remember the young man's face. However, he had come to the mall with his wife and mother-in-law. He had doubts about making the move, but suddenly, he pushed those thoughts out of his mind and immediately walked toward AsherWhen he got closer he called out, “Mr. Asher Mancini!”Asher looked at him for a moment, then at Isabella and Dave. He couldn't help but wonder who the man was but from what it seemed, the man knew him.Asher tried to recall where he had seen the face; he was sure he had met the men, but couldn't tell where and how.Sydney raised his brow; he grasped that something was off. So he introduced himself. “Mr. Manicini. I am Ch

Roland collapsed as his legs gave way, his body twisting awkwardly. He groaned, hands scrabbling against the floor as he tried to get up, blood poured freely, staining his shirt and the tiles beneath him.“Please..” he whispered.Sasha stood over him, her anger boiling inside her. Her knuckles turned white around the statue.“You don't get to beg, Roland. Not now and never.” Her voice was trembling with fury.Ronald lifted his head slowly, the pain coursed through his veins.He didn't expect Sasha to do this to him.Sasha glared at him and brought the statue again; this time, she didn't hit once but twice.Roland's body jerked, his arm collapsed beneath him.Sasha stood there staring at what she had done, blood spilt beneath Roland's face, and it was now spreading like a spilt wine. Her hands are red.There was no sign of remorse for what she did. At that moment, the door swung open, and Daniel Mbeki walked into the scene. He swallowed hard, as many thoughts ran through his mind. H

Ryan watched as they wheeled her out, his heart was heavy with worries. He rushed and followed the paramedics team, with his mother. He knew he needed to be by her side to make sure she was alright, she just saved his life. Ryan couldn’t shake the unease feeling that was building within him, “Hold on, Elizabeth. We will get through this.” Ryan said in his mind.The paramedic’s team rushed towards their van and drove immediately to the hospital. Ryan took the key from Nicolas and rushed behind the ambulance. His heart was racing fast, he blew the horn repeatedly when they got to the highway trying to find a path for him to drive.When they got to the hospital, the paramedics team sprang into action, and Elizabeth was wheeled into the hospital. And was taken in for treatment.Ryan raced inside like someone who had been chased, he was breathing fast. He asked several nurses and he was told that she was undergoing an operation.He sat on the chair facing downward, with tears welling up

“I heard everything you said. Grey. It was you who killed Brown at the hospital. I never thought you would be this evil until today.” Victoria said with a voice mixed with anger and pain.The policemen and the guards rushed inside the building, they stopped when they noticed the scenes that were happening before them.“Drop your weapons, you are surrounded by the police.” The Chief police officer said.Grey’s heart sank into his stomach, he knew there was no way out of him. He turned to face Ryan who gave him a small smile by the side of his lips.“You called the police, Ryan. How dare you.” Grey said.Ryan shrugged, “My mum wasn’t the only person you kidnapped, Elizabeth Brian is here.” He said soft but firm tone.The police team moved closer to where Mrs. Rebecca and Elizabeth were tied and helped untie them, setting them free, and moving them towards the back.“Drop your weapons,” The chief of police screamed again.“I can’t drop my weapon, I can surrender to you,” Grey said, his

His mother’s heart was pounding fast in fear, and Her eyes widened in horror. Seeing Six hefty men against her son Ryan.Tears were streaming down her cheeks and her body was trembling. Ryan placed the document on a rust table, beside him.Ryan knew he could take them if he stayed focused, he watched their movements, and his senses were on high alert. He watched as they moved towards a direction coming out with different weapons to fight against him.Grey stood behind, an evil smirk formed immediately by the edge of his lips. “Don’t kill him, we still need him alive to sign the document,” Greg instructed.The men nodded their heads intermittently while moving towards Ryan with a stern and mocking face.“You had picked the run person, Grey. You guys can walk away now you have the chance, I wouldn’t hurt you. I will give you some minutes to think about it.” Ryan said with a calm but firm tone.The men exchanged glances and laughed, “Let’s deal with him.” The scarred man said.Ryan st

“But I never believed you would have some people who are still loyal to you. They did a nice job of setting off the fire on time.” He said making a mockery of it.Ryan glared at him, “What is your gain in all this and what do you want?” He asked with his voice dripping in fury.“I had no idea you were this smart,” he said. “I want everything you owe, Everything your grandfather gave to you including the company.” He said.Ryan giggled with the right side of his lips, he wasn’t surprised by what he said. He knew something was odd about Grey from the beginning.“How do you think it’s going to be possible? There are people before you who have tried to take things off my hands and they failed. And one of them is your father,” he said confidently.Grey got pissed by his statement, giving him a deadly glare. With his jaw clenched. Ryan was using this as a delay tactic for the police and his men to take position. Meanwhile, Nicolas and Sebastian have positioned themselves with snipers at d

They moved slowly till they got to an open space, Ryan glanced around the room and he could see his mother being tied to a chair, her eyes could tell her story that she had pain and fear while her heart was enthralled with indescribable sorrow.It got to Ryan’s notice that she wasn’t the only one, he narrowed his gaze to the left and found Elizabeth Brian also tied at the other end.“What is she doing here and how come she was kidnapped alongside my mother.” He mumbles inwardly. Ryan was in a perplexed state but maintained his composure for the task ahead.His eyes flickered in rage while transferring the anger to his hand grip on the bag. He counted the men he saw starting from the entrance, they were a total of six men.“Where is your boss, tell him, I have what he requested and he should set them free,” Ryan said, his voice deep and showing no atom of fear.One of the gang members who seemed to be the leader, he had a scarred face, spoke with authorities.“Not so fast, we need to c

Ryan and Freddie got to the entrance of his mansion, where Ryan met his driver, Jerry. “Get in, we are heading out,” he commanded.Jerry felt something was off, he knew his master wouldn’t have sounded like that. But he believes whatever it is his master will always conquer it no matter what.Ryan felt his phone vibrate, he shoved it out placing it on a loudspeaker.“Master, Ryan. It’s Sebastian. I have news that you should know.” Sebastian said.Ryan already knew what he wanted to say, but allowed him to make the statement.“What is it?” Ryan said with a plain tone.“Master, Your mother has been kidnapped. The two guards she went out with were shot and have been taken to the hospital, we have informed the police about it. And they have sent a rescue team to search for her.” Sebastian said.“Master, I believe it was Joseph who sent those men to kidnap your mother,” he added.Ryan inhales.“I know about it, the kidnappers have contacted me.”“What did they say, did they request for any

At that moment, the cafe felt distant, leaving the other students in awe and disbelief; they couldn’t help but wonder what was happening.It was impossible to see Terry around Jack.Many students kept a curious gaze, and some even tried to lean closer so they could listen in on their conversation.Raphael and his friends exchanged glances, but had mixed feelings.Just as Terry sat down he cleared his throat before leaning forward. He kept an apologetic expression. “Jack, Anna.” He said softly. “I am sorry, I was wrong for how things turned against us. I was arrogant toward you two, and after thinking it through I just realised I made a mistake.”Jack stared at him for a moment, Anna, Raphael and Barbara did the same this time in shock and disbelief. “I have come to ask for your forgiveness, I want to make things right between us if you will let me,” Terry muttered.Terry nudged Claire without hesitation and she spoke out, “I am sorry, Anna. I am sorry for what happened at the contest

Jack wanted to reject but then he remembered he was still hiding his identity. If he refused to accept the money, it would raise a suspicious eyebrow at him. **978 He called out his account details, and she punched in as she listened intently. Sent! “Jack, you should go through it. You know she has a scammer as a boyfriend, you don’t want to receive a fake alert!” “Yes, Jack. Confirm the transaction through the bank application.” Jack smirked, he checked his bank application. “Seen.” He showed the account balance, Jack gave Claire his second bank account details, where he has $2100. He now had a total of $22,100 When Anastasia saw his account details she scoffed. “You are broke, if not for Claire’s money, you wouldn’t have had $5000. What kind of man are you?” “Come off it, Anastasia. I might not have money, but I was able to afford a premium ticket, while you with the money couldn’t take a view of the ambience where Anna was crowned the queen.” His voice was laced

It had been two days after the contest, and neither Claire nor her friends had shown up in school after the humiliation.Students were gathered in groups murmuring, chuckling and whispering. Among their various groups, most talked about the contest, and Claire did not show her face or say anything.Most had sent a notification to know when she was going to post, but not, hence leaving some students worried, knowing the Claire they knew would always post on her social media accounts.The event had turned Claire and her friends into a laughingstock in school. Their videos had been shared and had become the most trending. No one has expected Anna to emerge as the winner despite competing with big names like Vivian Sancho.Crestview University honoured her for being crowned the queen ahead of others. It brought a good reputation to the school despite what Claire did to sabotage her chances.Just as Anna walked into the class, the students gave her a standing ovation as the new queen of t

Barbara trembled slightly, she wouldn’t want to be humiliated by Benedict again. Just as he approached their table, Raphael had plans to confront him since he was sure Anna had promised to pay the money.Benedict’s gaze drifted to Jack, who kept an unreadable expression. He bit his lips, knowing he had no say anymore. His gaze dropped low. The unexpected happened when they saw Benedict drop to his knees slowly.Jack’s friends gasp in shock and disbelief. Barbara was the most surprised among her friends, she was the one who got embarrassed by Benedict.There was a moment of silence as the friends exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.Who would have thought the arrogant Benedict would kneel before the same people he looked down upon?The waitress who stood by the side was stunned, her eyes popped out in disbelief, never had she expected to see Benedict in such a state.Benedict took a deep breath, with his gaze lowered. “I want to apologise,” he said, his voice lighter than earli

“What the hell are you doing here?” Benedict couldn’t hide his anger and frustration when he spotted Jack entering Elliott’s office.“That’s him,” he sneered, “He should be thrown out of these premises this moment, he and his friends don’t need to be seen around.”Jack smiled and shook his head as he stepped forward. “Master Jack,” Elliot said, getting up from his seat and bowing respectfully, “Please, have a seat.” Benedict was taken aback by the sudden change, he froze in disbelief as he watched how Polite Elliot was toward Jack despite everything he had said. What even got him dumbfounded was hearing Elliot calling him master. “Who is he?” He thought to himself.The scene before him looked unreal, not making any sense.“Why is the young man called master? Who is he?”Jack smiled as he watched Benedict’s face. From Benedict’s expression, he could tell that he was confused.“You were saying something before I interrupted. What is it? I am interested in it, come on. Go ahead, I am

“I can see you are becoming stubborn. I know what to do with your type of people,”At that moment, Emma stepped forward, her face contorted in rage. “Mr. Mark, these are my guests, and I think it hasn’t gotten to that. I will meet with the manager to discuss the vase, and whether it will be replaced.”Seeing Emma, Benedict’s mind was mixed. He had always had feelings for Emma, but never gotten the chance to talk to her. His voice softened. “Emma, you are here.” He said, he was angry and didn’t notice Emma was standing closer.“Emma, I can forget about the vase, but this young man slapped me. I will not forgive him until he goes down on his knees and apologises to me.”Emma raised her brow in shock. She wished she could tell him he was playing with fire, but no, she couldn’t.Does Benedict know who he wants to kneel before him?Does he have a death wish?“Mr. Mark, I don’t think we should go that far, but I wouldn’t advise you not to push forward with this. We should forget this ever h
