"Brad stopped suddenly when he realized that Ned wasn't moving.The crowds have gathered now but no one made a move to rescue Ned. Well, they were around too when Ned's men were harassing Sophia. It was as if they were scared of Ned.He knew he shouldn't have gone to that extent but he couldn't help it. How dare he insult Sophia in such a way. In fact, he deserved to die but Brad wasn't going to kill him, not yet.He got off him and moved to the car. At first, when he didn't hear any sound from the car, fear gripped him and he thought Sophia left.He released a sigh of relief when he opened the door and saw Sophia.Sophia's head was bowed and she was still clutching the ruined clothes to herself.Brad started the ignition and drove out of the place while keeping his eyes out for any boutique around.He spotted one and pulled to a stop. He glanced at Sophia and realized that she was still in the same position that she was a few minutes ago. He wondered what was going through her mind.

What! Shock kept Brad motionless and speechless for a while.He pulled Sophia backward slightly to look her in the face. "What did you just say?""Not many people know. I got to find out too during my stay with him. That's why I can't report it to the police. All I have to do now is to avoid him. Hopefully, the bad days are over," she muttered and forced a strained smile to her lips.Brad reciprocated her smile. "Yes, exactly what we should do but well, Ned deserves what I did to him.""Goodnight," she whispered and walked away.Brad watched her till she entered the house before he turned around. He entered the car and placed a call to Maxwell.He didn't pick up, even after the second ring. So, he sent a message to him.."Where is he?" Vincenzo muttered and took a cup of wine from the table."He's in the garage," one of the men standing by the door responded. There were five of them with their head bowed."Bring him in," he ordered and turned away. "Has my father replied?""Not yet b

Ava pulled out of the estate when they were done eating."But I think you shouldn't meet with him.""Like I've told Maxwell, we will know who our enemy really is," Brad muttered.Ava released a sigh. "Alright, anything you say but I will say you shouldn't trust anything that comes out of his mouth. I will be with you anyway."Brad nodded once. Ava soon pulled into the school parking lot. Ava got out of the car and the males around gawked at her.She was a beauty to behold anyway. She was wearing a pink hoodie and jean trousers that showed her voluptuous shape. Even the ladies were jealous of her beauty and how she attracted attention wherever she went.Brad got out of the car and the ladies smirked while some hissed with anger.Brad and Ava walked inside the lecture room. He hesitated briefly when he saw Sophia but she was too busy speaking to one of the classmates that she didn't see him.It didn't take long when the lecturer stepped inside."Good morning everyone, I brought good ne

"Please, let me have the ticket, sir."Brad stretched out the ticket to her.The waitress took it and slowly examined it. Her eyes widened with shock. "It's the Vvip ticket!"Ronald was shocked. "That's not possible! There's no way that will be the ticket. You need to confirm this very well. This boy is a fraud. He's trying to scam you!"Brad looked at Ronald. "Do you think everyone is like you?"Ronald huffed. " I sincerely don't believe this! Brad used to be a janitor. He earns not less than 4000$ after working at several places. He can't even afford a casual members card, talk more of a VIP card. The Vvip ticket is the highest that he can't obtain. You will need to verify the card very well," he suggested.The waitress looked at Brad with doubting eyes. She knew Ronald anyway and how rich he was. And it wasn't even the first he would be showing up at Outback Steakhouse. In fact, he was one of their frequent customers. So, she was sure that he wouldn't lie."I'm sorry sir but we wil

Five waitresses were lined to their right while five waiters were lined to their left.They were dumbfounded.Max walked in their midst, with a big Chinese dish in his hand. He stopped in front of Brad and stretched out the dish. He opened it and Brad stared down at the black card.Brad smiled, impressed before he took the card."This is our new VIP customer. You have to treat him with all respect," he announced to the workers.The workers looked up slightly to be able to see Brad, then they bowed immediately."Yes sir!" They chorused."Then you are dismissed!" Max ordered.The workers turned and walked away.Max turned to Brad and bowed slightly. "We will be expecting you here soon," he said with a smile.Brad reciprocated it. "Thank you!"They both walked out of the restaurant.Ava laughed. "This is so funny! I can't believe Max could be so dramatic. Though, I don't blame him. He obviously saw what was wat past him. Seeing the president of P-Bold, especially at this time when no one
