There was no need to tell him who awaited.Brown, the quintessential billionaire with an intimidating air, made it clear through his impatience that waiting for Tate was a colossal waste of his time. He was already slipping into his bulletproof G-Wagon.Hurrying to catch up, Tom greeted him with a gentle smile, "Greetings, Mr. Brown, My sincerest apologies for the delay.""That's no mere inconvenience, Mr. Tom. How dare you keep me waiting?" Brown's reply was sharp, but he softened it with a grin, a tactic to sugarcoat the tension. "Let's discuss matters at my office.""We can talk here, for now. I assure you, I have a solution to all your desires as long as our c

CHAPTER TWELVE: Tom's Daughter's Slice of Obedience
Roselvett arrived home that evening with a frown on her face, one that could tell that she wasn't ready for any drama. She storms into the sitting room, heading up to her room. The feeling was so grand that she couldn't notice her dad sitting on the sofa."No greetings, dear?" Tom asked, watching her go up the stairs, but he got no reply. Mr. Tom was resting in his normal position watching his favourite movie series... The Star Wars saga."Rose! R-osse!!" He called out, now louder, but all he could hear was her room door banging and locked, the sound echoing in the spacious living room.What could be her reason for acting that way? He asked himself, should it be a means of saying No to Mr. Brown again?He stands up, walking up the stairs, heading to her room, his bare feet making the swish, swish sound on the tiled floor. "Roselvett!!" He calls out as he approaches her door."Dad, I want to be alone for goodness sake!!" Rose answered aggressively. "Can you respect my decisions for once

"The Baron's what? I don't get it," he asked curiously.But then the door knob opened, and Eleanor, his father's loyal aide and daughter, walked in, closing the door behind her."Yes, you happen to be the only male heir to your father, our father's dynasty," she said calmly as she turned the flute on the table, pouring out the exotic grape-blended wine into it. "Let's take a toast, young master," she added.Romsey felt like he was daydreaming; he couldn't understand what he was seeing at the moment. The feeling of that made Romsey's eyes cloud with tears.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN: A Clearer Insight
"No need for that, Romsey said to him. There's always a time for everything, Rob. He smiled gently. Robson smirks with a feeling of frustration; he is a man of action and is always ready to set the ball rolling. He inserts his phone into his pocket."But, boss, it is said that one needs to be careful with whoever has access to his toothbrush; those niggas messed with the wrong man. You need to take action immediately. I feel it's time they get a toothache." Romsey smiles gently at Rob's humor. "That's quite nice, but let's allow the bird to swim in the lake for a while before taking it to the ocean." Rob laughs loudly as Romsey picks up the TV remote to change the channels."Hey guys, there's a call from the grand master," Herbert entered, a man in his late 40s, one of Eleanor's special advisors. "The call is for you, young master," he kneels as he hands Romsey the phone."Hello, my son, your account has been credited with $500,000,000. Please do well to use that for a start." Romsey

CHAPTER SIXTEEN: Tom's Surprising Moment.
BACK IN MR. TOM'S APARTMENT. Tom walked towards the stranger, eager to understand if there was anything wrong. He sat on the other side of the chair, picked up a newspaper, and began to look into it, though he wasn't reading. He was searching for the best approach to start a lengthy conversation.He cleared his throat, "Err... Eer... mm. What did you say your name was?" Tom asked, his face still buried in the pages."David, sir. David Lesnar," he replied."That's a good name. I once had a friend named David, but his last name wasn't Lesnar; it was David Jones.
