He sighed at the sight of his account balance and wanted to turn off his phone when the alarm started ringing displaying “Girlfriend’s birthday.” A happy smile engulfed his face and he quickly changed his outfit, picked up his dollar bills, and left his apartment.All eyes were on him as he strolled in the bustling street.“Isn’t it that clown? He still had the guts to step out.” One said “Latest poor thief.” Another screamed. They couldn’t stop laughing at him, insulting and mocking him but he ignored them. He looked from one mart to another searching for the one that matched his girlfriend’s taste. He was wearing a pair of jeans that had changed its color to off-white because of too much washing and his polo had some torn spots and was saggy on his neck.He walked into a shopping mall in the area, looking confident and excited meanwhile he had just $150 on him. The director and his wife were the ones running the business thus when they saw him, they exchanged knowing glares before

Jamal cleaned his eyes over and over again, pinching himself as he consciously denied the reality. He was in a grand expensive mansion. What was happening? Who were they and what was he doing here?Rather than admiring the interior breakthrough, he was bothered, and eaten by anxiety."Old master would love to see you now." The middle-aged man's voice unintentionally disrupted his reverie, he swallowed hard on nothing before following the man through the hallway."Please, who are you? And where is this place?" The hallway seemed endless and he couldn't endure his curiosity. "Maybe you shouldn't answer that but, why am I here?" He asked seriously with anxiety lancing in his sharp eyes."Your questions will soon be answered, please be patient." The middle-aged man said and suddenly paused beside a door. It was the only door in the hallway they were in."Old master is at the brink of death, please don't make him worry or ask too many questions." The man warned him politely before the door

Jamal has never been proud, excited, and happy in his entire life until this day. He had money. He was a rich heir. Everything was under his control. He started seeing himself in a new light and by the street transparent glass, he admired how handsome he was.His sharp ocean-blue eyes sparkled and his face was smooth and admirable. He had a brown trendsetter hair. It was now he realized how handsome he was. Maybe Mia was right, with money every man is hand-some.He confidently walked into the most expensive mall in the street with gallant strides and walked over to the racks of things that caught his attention. Who would have thought that a time would come when he got to visit it?The attendants were busy with other rich-looking customers and even when some of them saw him, no one agreed to follow him because of how he looked. His outfit was stale, patchily sown, and outdated. He decided to do the shopping himself and make payment.He picked a white can from the rack and smiled.“The e

“What? Dad, what are you trying to do? Of all people, you chose to side with this creep?” Audrey barked at her father.“Mr. Jamal, I’m so sorry for how they must have treated you.” Audrey’s father apologized with a short bow and all of them were confused and surprised.“Dad, he is the one who started this in the first place. If he hadn’t dared to punch a rich person in the face, he wouldn’t have gotten here. He is a rag that almost forgot his position.” Audrey ranted in annoyance.“Yes, uncle. He did something dreadful and must be punished, how can a poor rat forget his status!” Audrey’s brother adjourned.“Stop! Just stop it.” Audrey’s father snapped them out of their thought.“He isn't a poor boy or common man as you think.” Audrey’s father said, giving Jamal a short look. “The man you see here is the he- -” Jamal grabbed his hand before he could spill his secret.“What’s going on? Who the fuck is he?” Audrey’s uncle queried in anger. “How dare he punch my son as low as he is.” He c

“Wait! Mr. Jamal, please wait.” Dennis followed him out of the mansion, he was furious and not willing to give him listening ears.“Explain what? The fact that you intentionally gave me a fake cheque to embarrass myself in the bank or the fact that you lied to me countless times?” He raised a brow, giving Dennis a scornful look.“I had my reasons, please let me explain.” Dennis urged. He exhaled deeply before nodding.“Fine, go ahead.” He rested his hand on his waist.“As for the cheque, it was after I gave you that I noticed that your stepbrother, James, switched it with the original. And as for the golden card, it is real and only you have it, Madam Felicia has the camouflage which isn’t useful.” Dennis meticulously explained to him and he sighed.“But still, you would have given me some heads up. I disgraced myself at the bank.” He frowned.“Do you want me to fire them?” Dennis raised a brow and he shook his head in refusal.“No, don’t. It’s not necessary as they did what they are s
