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

“I don’t believe that,” Tarot replied.He was still trying to understand what had happened. The bracelet was proof that Asher was inside the house, but what they couldn’t tell was whether he escaped or was inside when the house was burnt to the ground.Tarot refused to accept that Asher was dead, he felt that if Asher could save him, he could do the same for himself. But what other way is there to explain when they found the colour bracelet that Asher had always kept by his side? Maybe it slipped from his grip, maybe he had used the energy before he ran out of the room. But either way, he strongly believed Asher wasn’t dead. There had to be another way, or a clue to prove that Asher was still alive.Mark was in uncertainty, Augustus held the bracelet staring at it as if he was waiting for the bracelet to talk to him, he was trying his best not to believe what he said even though his mind was trying to say it was true. When Gaius wants someone dead, they are going to die for sure. A

Augustus and Tarot were getting frustrated; it had been two days since the incident occurred, and no one had heard any news about Asher. This was suspicious, where could he be? Augustus feared that something bad must have happened to him.“Still no word!’ Mark asked as he stepped into the room.Augustus shook his head, he wondered what Asher could be doing now. Where he was and why he hadn’t called any of them. Something bad had just happened. Tarot felt that Gaius must have gotten Asher; it was possible, but he wasn’t sure that Asher would go down easily. What they still couldn’t tell was why Lucio would betray them, they saw it clearly when he stabbed Asher from behind with the dagger.Tarot was worried about Asher, not just where he was, but how he would see him after Gaius said the truth.He hadn’t been himself since the incident happened, many thoughts ran through his mind.Mark paced around the room, and they hoped Asher wouldn’t be in Gaius’ hideout; if not, it would be diffi

Fabio closed the file and lay back on his chair, as he heaved a deep sigh. Nothing was adding up; he felt like he had been wasting time looking at the files. There was nothing in there that could prove that Gaius was the murderer of Max.His laptop screen showed images of Gaius; each time he stared at it, he felt his heart burning from the pain of losing his friend.Sergio sat at the other side of the room, locked on his screen searching for other evidence. All their investigations were leading in an unknown direction.Fabio ran a hand through his hair, as he thought about the previous incident. Marco told him that Gaius killed Max and the other men, that was the only lead they had, so far they couldn’t prove anything that it was Gaius.But then he blamed Max for acting stubborn and going against his order to attack Giaus first.At this time, Fabio’s phone buzzed, and he immediately answered the call. “I am on my way.” He hurriedly replied.Sergio looked at him, “What’s happening?”

Giaus closed in on him, their eyes gleaming with triumph.But deeply, Asher knew that he couldn’t give up, he summoned all his strength and took off the dagger, his heart pounding in his chest.As soon as he took out a dagger, he fell to the ground with one knee and became weak. His only option was to run away.He felt hard to breathe as his chest felt like it was on fire.“You are even weaker than I thought,” Gaius said.Mick smiled, and looked at Asher, “You’re going to die a painful death.” His voice was weak and low.With the last strength in Asher, he lashed out the glow at the people before him, then turned to run away. He heard screams and cried but didn’t bother looking back. He stumbled, his vision blurring at the edges But then, footsteps echoed from behind. He refused to give up, as he rushed out of the room, Just when he thought it would be over for him, he saw a small house in the distance. It was old and abandoned, but it looked like it would provide shelter for him.

It was midnight. However, Asher was restless after a long day at the office; he stepped out of his bed that moment, sat by the couch beside the mirror, seething with rage as he thought about Mick, who hadn’t given a response since he was captured.He had never liked the man since he found out he was working for Gaius, and after what he did to Tarot. The more Asher thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He reached for the bottle of water and gulped it halfway before settling down at the table beside him.Time passed, and Asher felt something. He peered through his curtain outside his room, but couldn’t find anything suspicious. Some of the guards stood watching over them. He sighed softly and tried to force himself to sleep. As he reached for his bed, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. He got up again, this time he left his room. As soon as he approached the living hall, his eyes widened In horror and disbelief.He could not help but wonder how Gaius’ m

Gaius' eyes widened when he heard those words, and he felt his heart pause for a moment. “Kelvin son! The half of the green stone.”Not possible! Silence hung between them, the kind that could snap at any moment. “How did you get all of these, and how did you know he is Kevin's son?”Lucio chuckled, and he replied. “Why won't I know? I work with Kelvin and still have a position in the gang. But I want something more than just my current position, I want to be the leader, and only you can help me. We can team up and fight him. You get the green stone, and I get to become the leader of the Gilded Fang. A win for both of us.”Even if Lucio was making his statement, he knew never to trust Gaius; the man would kill him when he got what he wanted. But this was his only option to save his son; he hoped Gaius had no clue about his relationship with Mick, else it would ruin his plans.“I am not sure if I can trust you, given the difference all these years. You know what I did.” Lucio nodde
