“Come in,” Nathan responded from the inside. Mike pushed the door open and walked into Nathan’s room. Nathan had just finished taking dinner and was back to his camber. He was about to change into his pajamas when Mike arrived. “Are you good?” Mike demanded after tracing his way into Nathan’s bedroom. “I’m good. I just had a few scratches but I treated them using the first aid kit in my closet.” Nathan replied and sat by the edge of his bed. “I can call the doctor to come and check up on you. You’ll be needing a couple of analgesics too.”Nathan chuckled. “Don’t worry, Uncle Mike. I’m doing good. The training I’ve been carrying out in the gym was quite handy. I’m fit.” He maintained. Mike smiled. “I’m glad you are doing okay. I just wanted to let you know that I’ve reinforced more guards at the house. They’ll take the empty rooms at the quarters and for now, I don’t think it’s safe for you to go back to your rented apartment.”“Okay.”“Scarface and a couple of other guards wil

Nathan wanted to turn off his phone the moment he left the computer room but he realized that the action might heighten Avery’s suspicions. He concluded that he was going to respond to her when he was ready to address the situation.Nathan was about to head to the library when Charlotte came running toward him. He stopped.“Hi, Charlotte.”She pouted her lips, folded her arms across her chest, and pretended to be sad.Nathan couldn't hold back his laughter.“Well, I guess you know why I’m pissed, Nathan. You were supposed to meet with me during the weekend so we could discuss the project.” Charlotte lamented.Nathan sighed. “I’m sorry. I got caught up in something.”“Well, the least you could have done was send me a text. I had hopes that you’ll turn up but it’s okay if you got busy. I would have understood you know.” She maintained.“That’s my bad and I’m sorry,” Nathan said.She flipped her hair with a smile. “That’s okay.”“How about I make it up to you?” Nathan spat.She giggled.

Nathan stood up and realized that the disappointment spread across Avery’s face was getting worse. He sighed. He wanted to sit tight, have dinner with her, and maybe spend the entire night with her but the issue at hand was one he couldn’t just neglect. “So you’re leaving?” Avery blurted. The words pierced his heart into shreds. “I’m very sorry, Avery. I just received an emergency call. I need to go.”“Fine!” she spat and turned away with a clenched jaw. “I’m very sorry. I wanted to hang out with you but don’t worry. I’ll make it up to you I promise.” Nathan implored. Avery snatched her bag away from the table and abruptly stood up. “I guess I’ll just go home. I just lost my appetite anyway.”“I’m sorry!” Nathan mumbled. The pissed Avery stormed out.Nathan realized that running after her would be a futile endeavor. He concluded that it was best he let her be. He was determined to make it up to her later. He then traced his way out of the restaurant and when he got out, he saw

Nathan was more stunned when Phoenix University released a circular through its social media handles. The press release was signed by the Vice-chancellor and it was stated that unless power is restored, the students must remain at home. Nathan realized that the city was in crisis and at that point, he was starting to consider the possibility of the power grids being hit by something worse than a meteo rock because not only was their power blackout, all electric outlets across homes and other places were destroyed.As for the Alcantara mansion, Mike had the power outlets fixed a few minutes after the blackout, and currently, the mansion was operating on one of its standard generators. ****The building where the members of the millionaires club were assembling that night was the recently constructed building. It was running on a standard solar system so when the members walked into the hall, they were greeted with standard cooling systems and functional light units. Immediately afte

A few minutes later, Mike returned to Alex’s office with a receipt. He positioned it ok the table before Pudolkvin. The man took the receipt and his eyes widened in surprise. “You guys paid in full?”Nathan cleared his throat loudly. “This is to prove to you that I want this project carried out ASAP Mr. Pudolvkin. The city has been in the dark for far too long.”Pudolvkin got a notification on his phone and when he checked it, it was an email from his company’s finance department, confirming a transaction in Alex Alcantara’s name for 4 power plants.He turned to Nathan. “McDonald was right. You are the best brand anyone could ever partner with.”Nathan smiled. “So when will you guys ship their plants?”“Give us 5 days. I’ll ensure the plants arrive in Rockville by tomorrow and in 4 days, my team should be done installing them.” Pudolvkin replied. Nathan shook his head. “Time is not on our side.”Pudolvkin sighed. “Fine. Give us 3 days. We’ll work round the clock.”“Deal.”“This cal
