"So you returned home with nothing?" Susan yanked as Alex just walked into the sitting room. The air in the room felt heavy as her piercing gaze bore into Alex who tried to avoid her gaze."I can't believe you've brought us to this point, Alex," she spat, her tone laced with disdain. "You're nothing but a burden to this family, unable to provide for my daughter and the grandchildren properly."Alex, struggling to find the right words, sighed deeply. "Mother, I'm doing my best. The economy is tough, and finding a stable job has been challenging. I love your daughter and the kids, and I'm working hard to make ends meet.""Love doesn't pay the bills, Alex!" She retorted, her eyes narrowing. "You've been married for years, and what have you achieved? Nothing! You're dragging us down for goodness sake."He was silent, unable to explain himself further, but Susan didn't stop with her nagging attitude. She scoffed, eyes narrowing. "Your 'best' isn't good enough, Alex. We didn't sign up for

He stood like the hopeless man he is, thinking of what to do next. Finding a good job was out of the line, and he couldn’t keep up with being an errand boy forever. He needed to find something better, probably leaving the city for good.But that’ll be impossible. He doesn’t even have the money to transport himself, to talk of funding a new home to start a new life.With a heavy sigh, he mustered. "It’s pointless."While he was lost in thought, a Lincoln limousine pulled over just a few meters away from him. He didn’t notice the huge masculine men who stepped down from the car, rushing to his side.They pulled a black bag over his head, then dragged him into the car. Alex struggled to break free, but they were just too strong for him. He wanted to scream but couldn’t as he felt a hand covering his mouth from doing so. “Keep quiet!” A voice yelled at him. “Any move, we’ll shoot the fuck out of your life.”Alex was shaken by the husky voice of the stranger. A thousand thoughts raced thr

He left the building, walking straight not minding how bewildered the security guards were at his turn up. He thought of what to use his money to do, if he would use it to invest in a few things or probably start a new business.The first thing that came to his mind was to buy a new car. He boarded a taxi which drove him to the automobile industry. Feeling excited, he walked in with pride and confidence. But then, the approach of the sellers weren't welcoming and nothing made him more annoyed than the way people tend to look down on him.His entrance alone had caused them to laugh, but Alex knowing what he wanted paid no attention to them. "I want to buy a car, what's the price?" He asked, looking directly at the lady before him."Good morning, my name is Kiara. What brand of car do you want?" She asked politely."Can I have a look around? I'll definitely find the exact I need." He said."Sure." Kiara took him around to see which he was interested in buying. The sight of the cars in t

Alex sat in his car, thinking of what to do next. He finally bought a car and new clothes to flex with, yet, there was more money in his account yet to be spent.He is rich. He is wealthy. In just a second, he has become the wealthiest man and that's just enough to amaze him.He was so grateful to Jane for divorcing him. If she hadn't walked him out of his life, he wouldn't be facing this moment. Maybe, signing the divorce paper was a blessing in disguise, who knows.An idea came to his mind, one that was good and indeed he loved the idea. Owning an expensive villa wasn't a bad idea, after all.He googled the best Villa estate in the city, then he drove to the exact location. The gatekeeper didn't hesitate to open the gate for him to enter. He was amazed at what he was seeing, smiling that soon he wouldn't have to be living poor under the roof of his in-laws, but as a house owner this time around."I need a villa, what's the price?" He asked."I'm sorry?" She glared at him with doubt.

The next turn he made was to his children's school. He knew what Jane is capable of doing. If he doesn't pay a visit to his children's school, she would show up first and possibly talk to the administrations not to let him have access to the kids. So he got there first.He met with the school authorities and discussed with them to see to it that Mrs Jane Williams doesn't have access to his kids, and that if they fail his agreement, he will make sure they pay for it.After making an agreement with them, he notified them that he was coming to pick them when school dismisses. Not quite long after he left, Jane drove to the school compound, heading for the headmaster's office to lay her complaints. Sadly, they told her that she can't take the kids with her."And why is that?" She stormed."It was an order from your ex-husband, Mrs Williams. I'm sorry, there is nothing we can do about this right now. You have to leave.""I am not letting that son-of-a-bitch take my kids away!" She yelled,
