CHAPTER 21
Arthur felt like his whole world was crashing down.He had no idea what to do the moment Mabel walked out on him. Everyone was still watching as the video played on the screen and they were saying hurtful things about him. He could hear them whisper on about how dumb he was, not to have noticed that she had only been using him all the while.Arthur balled his fists in anger and when he rose up to his feet, all he could see was Chris chuckling at him. The look on the bastard's face irritated him greatly and he swore that he was going to deal with him there and then.Arthur pulled off his coat, and folded his sleeves as he made his way towards the stairs leading to the top floor where Chris was. Monica who had been watching from a vantage position all the while beeped Chris immediately."Arthur," She muttered. "He's coming for you. Should I take him out?""No," Chris smiled. "I would rather do that myself. I've been waiting for this moment for a long time."He removed the airpod from h

CHAPTER 22
In a matter of minutes, Monica had led Chris away from the danger zone and straight to the hotel they had come from. As soon as they got to the room, she pushed the door open and bolted towards the wardrobe to pack all their clothes. Chris stared on at her as she packed in a mad frenzy and he frowned.“We’re not leaving tonight are we?” Chris asked.“Of course we are,” Monica grunted as she rummaged through the drawer. “We have to get away as fast as we can.”“The sound of the gunshot,” Chris stared at her. “Do you have any idea who it is?” Monica turned to face Chris for a second and she shook her head in the negative.“We could always talk about this in the plane,” She said finally. “As for now, we need to get the fuck out of here.”Chris could see from the look on her face that she was very serious and he didn’t bother asking further questions. Together they packed everything that was useful, checked out of the hotel, and boarded a taxi to the airport.A plane was waiting for them

CHAPTER 23
Mr. Bolton led his son to a sports car that was waiting for them at the airport and once they got there, a man standing in front of the car opened the door before bowing slightly at the duo. Chris ignored the gesture which he was already familiar with, and he was about to enter into the car when he remembered that Monica was not there with them.“Monica,” He said, turning around to search for her.Mr. Bolton eyed his son for a brief moment before muttering.“She wouldn’t be following us. Come on in.”“She has to,” Chris argued. “She saved my life.”“I believe she did quite the opposite,” Mr. Bolton sighed. “Now, not one more word. Get in the damn car.”Chris could tell that his father was not happy about getting questioned and he decided to obey. He entered into the car, followed closely by his father and the door went shut immediately.“Take us home,” Mr. Bolton said to the driver.His order was met by a brief nod and the next minute, the engine of the car roared to life. There was a

CHAPTER 24
The next morning, Chris woke up to the sound of his phone ringing. He turned and stretched on the king sized bed in his new room for a while and he reached out to hold Monica.It was then he remembered that his vacation was over. He was no longer at the hotel and Monica was not his roommate anymore.Chris sighed and stepped out of the bed. He walked over to the table where his phone was and staring at the screen, he realized it was Monica calling him. Chris grabbed the phone with enthusiasm and picked the call immediately. The sound of her voice at the receiver made him smile. He was truly happy to hear from her again."Monica," Chris sighed. "I was worried about you. I tried calling, but your line was not going.""You shouldn't be worried about me," Monica replied and chuckled. "I should, infact be the one worried about you. Your father - "Her voice trailed off and there was silence for a while."It's not very bad with him," Chris shrugged. "He just wants me to lay low for a while."

CHAPTER 25
Chris remained rooted to the spot. He could not believe how quickly his fortunes had been overturned. What exactly had come over his father to make him reinstate that bastard, Arthur as the boss of NEXUS GLOBAL? "You've suddenly lost your voice haven't you?" Arthur chuckled, his voice laced with mockery. "You don't have anything to say for yourself?"Chris had a lot to say. He was boiling with rage inside, but he knew that it was best for him to control his anger. He had to be patient and find out what was wrong first. "I have some duties to attend to this morning, so if you would please excuse me - " Chris said and started walking away."No I wouldn't," Arthur cut in. "You're not leaving here until I say so, Chris Bastard."Hearing Arthur call him a bastard was like torture. Chris wished he could punch Arthur in the nose, but he knew that he couldn't do a thing. As at that moment, Arthur was his boss once again."Yes?" Chris spun around. "Your duty for today would be to reply to t

CHAPTER 26
The air in the room seemed to get cooler with each passing second. Chris could not believe that Mr. Bolton would be able to deny him outrightly in his presence, but it was happening right before his eyes. "Father?" Chris muttered. "You said it yourself that I am your son. I'm the one you have been searching for all these years.""The only reason you're still standing before me is because you know what you stand to gain as my son," Mr. Bolton sneered. "If I was as poor as a church rat, you wouldn't even want to associate yourself with me.""How can you say such a thing, father?" Chris sighed."For the last time, I am not your father," Mr. Bolton repeated. "I have enough evidence to back that. You should be thankful that I still offered you a job and protection, Chris. It's the least I can do for you, even after your claims threatened to soil my great legacy."Chris could only shake his head in disbelief. Truly, he was not a Bolton. He was just another bastard, who would never be able

CHAPTER 27
Over the next 24 hours, Chris couldn't get as much as a minute of sleep. His mind was racing with different thoughts and possibilities. He was eager to hear the news that this man had for him, and he hoped that it would be a good one. A few hours to midnight on the D-Day, Chris was already sitting patiently on the arm chair in his room. His fingers tapped noisily against the arm rest of the chair as he waited patiently for Monica. As his personal guard, she was to follow him, especially on a mission like that, which could prove to be ultimately dangerous.When Chris eventually heard the sound of her knocking on his room door, he rushed to open it. Monica walked in gingerly and Chris admired her as she walked in. She wore a brown leather jacket over black leather pants and high stiletto heels. Chris briefly wondered how she had managed to walk all the way there with those heels but that was the least of his problems at the moment.He welcomed her with a warm hug and she sat down."So

CHAPTER 28
In the middle of all the chaos going on in the world at that moment, Chris stopped dead in his tracks. The text literally threw him off balance. It meant that someone, somewhere was watching him as he ran. No matter how protected he thought he was with Monica, there was someone who could shoot him in the head and get away with it just like that.It took Monica another minute to realize that Chris was no longer running beside her and she had to race back a few meters to find him."This is seriously not the best time for some personal evaluation or whatever the hell you think you are doing, Chris!" Monica growled. "Our lives are in danger and we need to run!"Chris turned his attention to her and she could see the look of horror on his face."More people would die around you," Monica said with a sigh. "You should learn to live with it. He would rest in peace.""It's not about the old man!" Chris growled. "We're being followed, Monica. Someone is following us.""Yeah, I know that," Monic

CHAPTER 29
As early as 6 am the next morning, Chris had already dressed up. It was a Saturday, and not a working day but he couldn't get the events of the previous day out of his head. He needed to make sure that Arthur was okay.Monica had tried her best to discourage him from going to the office that morning, but seeing that his mind was made up she knew that she had no choice but to follow him and try to keep him safe."This is a bad idea and we would regret it," Monica muttered as Chris hurried down the steps leading out of the mansion. "If your father really set Arthur up, then he's dead already. We shouldn't be putting our lives in more danger.""I can't allow that bastard die like that," Chris replied through gritted teeth. "Where is the fun in that? I haven't even done half of the things I planned to do to him.""It's too late already, Chris," Monica sighed. "Arthur is dead. Gone!"Chris stared down at her for a moment and shrugged."It's fine if you do not want to follow me," He said. "

CHAPTER 30
Chris woke up with a start.His eyes were heavy and his visions were blurry. He yawned and stretched for a while, as he tried to recall the preceding events, and suddenly, everything came flooding through his memory - finding the truth about his father, getting captured by Arthur, and passing out in the Black Limousine.Everything had actually happened. It was not a dream as he had thought.Chris rubbed his eyes several times in a bid to clear the sleep from them, and then he stood up to his feet. He stared at the watch on his hand and saw that it was a few minutes past six in the evening.They had been out for hours!Monica! Chris spun around like a mad man in search of her, but all he met were the four walls of the room and a wide open door.A wide open door! "Why was the door not locked," Chris thought to himself.It seemed like a trap to him, but at that moment, the only thing he could think about was saving Monica. Even if his uncle was human enough not to harm him because he was
