“Mr. Greco,” Asher called out, as he stared at the man’s face. Asher felt sad that he had caused the man’s delay, but at the same time, he thought it wasn’t his fault; if the driver had taken a more careful move, this would not have happened.“What have you done to my father!” Claudia barked.“What did I do, you saw what happened.” Asher fired back, but he kept his gaze locked on the man. “Your father’s condition is critical and needs urgent treatment. I am sorry, but he won’t survive before we get to the hospital.”“Stay away from him, you don’t know what you are talking about. I am calling for an ambulance, and when that’s done, I am getting you arrested for attempting murder.”“Are you serious? Doesn’t your father’s health matter to you? Your father suffered a fatal stroke, and all you could do was bluff.” Asher’s gaze hardened.“How is that your business? Are you trying to act like you care when this was your fault? If you hadn’t caused the delay, we would have been at the hospi

While inside his car, Asher glanced at the man’s business card and took a deep breath before taking off his mask.He was moments from taking the turn toward his house when a vehicle abruptly crashed into the rear of his car.Asher immediately frowned; however, it wasn’t the time for that. He looked through his rear-view mirror and noticed the car was still parked there.The Lamborghini halted as If waiting for him to step down.Then he alighted from his car and approached the vehicle, the careless driver had just hit him and could have killed him. Asher was in a bad mood and was ready to vent his anger, but then a young lady with an enchanted face and dressed in a top brand opened the car door. She was classy and from a wealthy family.However, her face was etched with disdain. “What’s wrong with you? Can’t you look while driving?” She barked.Asher was shocked. He was on his lane when she hit his car, and instead of apologising, she yelled at him. The lady scrutinised Asher from h

“I presume they are up to something, I want you to keep an eye on Isabella, make sure she doesn’t get close to Tonia.”Asher knew Tonia had contacted Isabella, there was no way she would return without calling her. And if that had happened then he believed Isabella would have known he sent her away..“Sasha, you have refused to give up. I will make sure your business doesn’t only crumble but everything you have goes down with you.” He said firmly.Asher returned to his office, had the folder placed inside the bag so he wouldn’t forget it. But he noticed Gino didn’t go out for lunch break, unlike him. The man has lost weight after the incident.A smile curled at the side of his lips, and he shook his head while he buried himself in work.That evening, on his way home, his scooter broke down, leaving him frustrated that he had to kick the engine twice. He parked the scooter at a place and flagged down a cab It was about to rain, and he couldn’t care less about the scooter.Later that n

Asher nodded, and he smiled. “You should eat your food, Augustus will help you with whatever you want.” He said.Later that night, Asher woke up from a terrible nightmare, one that showed his Isabella and Dave in danger. His mind raced, and his breath came heavily.Are they in danger? Did he make a good decision leaving them and returning to his hometown to save his company?He wondered as he thought deeply, glanced at his time, and it was past three in the morning. He immediately texted Mark to double the security around Isabella and ensure they were always protected.At the same time, he knew Isabella wouldn’t agree to it, so he instructed the guards to stay around her without her knowledge.Also, he texted Vandy to assign some men to watch over Wilson and Abigail.Immediately, he got a reply from the men, after which he took a deep breath and relaxed on his bed for a moment, unable to continue his sleep.That same morning, Asher arrived at the office, and he felt something shift ar

The doctor nodded. “Yes. He’s stable now. But we’ll need to monitor him closely for the next 24 to 48 hours. Burns like this can become infected very easily. If infection sets in, it can become life-threatening. But I am sorry you can’t see him for now. He needs time to rest, and we need to check the blisters before we let anyone in.”When they left the office, Paolo was furious with Gino; this was all his fault. He claimed something was strange about Asher and wanted to prove a point.He even had to place a hidden camera at the office that didn’t capture any useful moments but rather showed Asher working swiftly.Gino is standing in the hallway, trembling, broken, drowning in the consequences. “You’d better pray nothing happens to Marco or else I will report you to the company myself.”Gino never replied; instead, he buried himself in thought, and at this time, he had no idea what to do. Everything felt like a nightmare before his eyes. He could not help but feel uncomfortable whene

His mind raced through several thoughts, still unable to grasp how his hands shifted toward Marco. He looked at Asher who kept an unreadable gaze.“What should we do now?”“I think we should pay the bill and leave. You just ruined the moment for us.” Paolo said with gritted teeth.The waiter brought the bill, and was told to give it to Asher, who didn’t hesitate as he collected the bill.He raised his eyebrows to stare at the bill, and Paolo and Gino exchanged glances. “How much is the bill?” Gino asked.Asher hurriedly replied, “The total bill is eighty-six thousand dollars.”Paolo exclaimed, “Why, we didn’t order much.”The waiter glanced at him before he retorted. “The soup was what made the price high.”He turned to look at Gino, who lowered his gaze; it was his idea.“I am sorry, I didn’t know things would turn out this way.”How could he be so careless? “Asher, how are you going to make the payment?” Paolo asked in concern.He knew if he added up what he had in his account, he

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

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
