Once in a while, a business person gets so carried away by their quest and lust for reward that they forget about the consequences of failure. They get so glued to the prize they want to achieve and become consumed with greed in the process. Most often than not, they fail and have to face the consequences, but in some other cases, they win and reap the rewards they so desperately pursued.Chuck Noah had just found himself in that state of pursuit and nothing else mattered to him. This wouldn't be his first time and he was sure it wouldn't be his last either. But more sure for him was the prize he set his eyes on, the $92 million Olympus Eagle helicopter. For a moment, his imagination had fantasised with the thoughts of him owing that luxury and boosting his pride among his circles. Of course, nobody else knows about the vehicle and this was its first time seen in public. He could imagine being the one who showcases it to the public.More triggering to his pride beyond gaining the chop

“Might I remind you that once we sign this deal, we are on and there is no going back.” Chuck informed Joe Cole and Rachael for business formalities sake. He didn't intend to by any means scare them from the deal, his sight remained in what his greed wanted him to fixate on. “That's fine. Can we sign now?” Joe Cole asked him. “Oh, yes, please. Do go ahead, I'm excited about this.” Joe Cole put his pen to the papers and began signing the documents one after the other. The deal to purchase 65.5% of Megalon Agencies for the hefty sum of $15 billion was almost in place. Both parties were excited except for Fim. Their excitement however was for very different reasons and not for the business in itself. One side is getting an opportunity to own the most powerful agency in the world that manages the careers, wealth, and life of some of the most successful and influential sportsmen, sports teams, movie stars, artistes, celebrities and wealthy individuals as a whole. This meant, they now h

Joe Cole rushed to school as fast as he could, getting to his lecture hall. The lecture was far gone already and almost coming to an end. Mercury had advised him to come earlier but despite his efforts, he still missed the time. Just fifteen minutes to closing when he arrived and quickly rushed to enter the hall.His situation with Mr Hudson had only grown worse since their last encounter. The man had made up his mind to purposefully target Joe Cole as his victim, patiently looking for ways to deal with him. On the other hand, Joe Cole now made himself vulnerable to Mr Hudson's plans due to his divided attention with his business and school. On this fateful day, Mr Hudson had the upper hand.“Good day, Mr Hudson. I'm sorry…” Joe Cole greeted and tried to explain but the man shunned him with his hand, choosing rather to continue his lectures with the students than to respond to Joe Cole's greetings and whatever he had to say.The students had their mixed reactions on Joe Cole's return

Joe Cole and Mercury walked through the pathways on campus with all eyes fastened on them, most of which murmured and gossiped about their relationship. The smear campaigns against Joe Cole by Jake and Emily were having their toll on campus with more and more students falling for it by the day. Their perception of Joe Cole as a babyface was fast dropping as they now came to see him as a gold-digger and an opportunist who was after the Carters and their fortune. The claims of the smear campaigns were heavily backed by Marquis which gave it even more credibility for the students to believe. Marquis supported the claims that Joe Cole was somehow playing his parents and his sister and using them to gain financial opportunities from different sources. However strong their claims were, they couldn't explain how Joe Cole managed to spend $30 million in a clubhouse in one night and give his friends $20 million the next morning. Their only theory was that he must have won a lottery but there

As they continued their banter here and there, John standing up to them all the way and Betty being a cool lady also joined to make her soft requests for the group to leave her and John alone to enjoy the lunch, Joe Cole and Mercury stepped up from behind.“What is going on here, guys?” Joe Cole's voice creepied in from behind the group, almost startling Emily. The group turned and behold it was their archenemy, the sole reason why they don't sleep at night nor have a healthy time during the day. The one person they wished never existed and even as he did, they wished he was far away in Africa or lost in one of those poverty-stricken countries to rot and die. Yet, like all wishes, they aren't horses for all to ride. The group had to take a direct approach to countering this ‘existential’ problem of theirs. As his voice was heard, the group began clearing the way for he and Mercury to walk pass while they looked at them disdainfully. Mercury stopped to look at her brother, Marquis, o
