Chapter one"Hey waiter! Bring us a bottle of Champagne, and make sure it’s the expensive stuff!""We need another round of caviar, pronto!"The cacophony of calls for more food and drinks were like symphony to the Manager’s ear, as the night was already signaling to be a historic sale for the restaurant.August was just one among the almost dozen waiters that had lost count of how many times they exited the VIP section carrying orders with them and returned with trays, it looked like they were not stopping anytime soon. He returned with a bottle of Champagne headed to the table that still had more than ten untouched cognac bottles comfortably seated between five menAs he approached the table he could hear one of them say, “Just two more bottles and am done. I have an appointment with my girlfriend tonight, it’s been three long years and I don’t want to… You know what I mean” The man said jokingly and the men erupted into laughter.Clink! Clink! Clink!“Attention everyone!” a voice c

Chapter ThreeIf Mia got the police to arrest him he was definitely going to rot in jail, he had nobody else to bail him. Considering the fact that Tom was a Turner made matters worse, the family would use their influence to make sure he is never released.The thought of it made August consider an alternative, to run. He hurriedly ran to the outside leaving Tom still groaning on the floor while Mia yelled from behind him. “Where are you going August? You can run but you can’t hide forever, the police will definitely find you”.But it was worth a try, he ran as fast as he could and managed to exit the house before the police arrived. At that moment he wished he had done more than break Tom’s nose, maybe broke a few fingers in addition. The damage was done, he only broke his nose but the whole police in the Aurora Bay were searching for him.Walking on the open streets would increase the chances of the cops sighting him, so he laid low and took the back alleys instead. Mia’s betraya

Chapter FiveA convoy of three ‘Milano Fenice Ghost Diva’ Rolls Royce arrived at A.S Apparel store, later in the afternoon that day.Men in sleek black suits with aviator sunglasses on emerged from the cars, they scanned around the whole premises like they were looking for a needle in a haystack, before one of them grabbed the golden handle of the middle car door and pulled it open.A black expensive alligator shoe slowly kissed the floor as a man in navy blue suit stepped out from the car. Who else but Gibson’s own grandson, August Steve.Of course, he was not comfortable in the ensemble; this was the first time he was wearing a suit and a descent shoe in his life. At last, the weathered sneakers were finally free of him, after it two years of intensive service.The other men stood guard as Mr Kane followed him into the store. As they approached the door, Mr Kane’s phone chimed and he quickly reached for it.“Am sorry young master, I have to take this. Please go on without me, I will

At Innovative Technologies, a striking woman hurried into the building, her closed-toe shoes clicking softly on the polished floor. Elegantly dressed in a well-fitted gray blazer and matching trousers,her face flushed and her eyes filled with worry.In one hand, she clutched a sleek tote bag, while the other hand balanced a stack of important documents.Despite her hands being occupied, she deftly managed a phone call, cradling her phone between her head and shoulder with practiced ease.“Don’t worry dad, I will definitely secure the contract,” she assured the person on the other end of the call.A name tag flaunt across her neck, boldly written on it; Tina Doe, Chief Technology officer, Resonant audios.As she moved through the bustling lobby, a few papers slipped from her grasp and fluttered to the floor.With both of her hands engaged, retrieving the papers from the floor would require her to drop the tote bag. And she was already running late to wherever she was headed.“Let me help

“August?” Tina gasped, her eyes with surprise. “I thought the security threw you out. How on earth did you end up here?” “No Tina, I wasn’t thrown out. In fact, I brought you a repair technician,” August replied with a grin, ushering in a man standing at the door with a toolkit.p Tina was confused as hell, her head was about to explode with questions. How on earth did August come to know her laptop was faulty and needed a repair? What did he say to the security men to allow him into the boardroom with the repair technician? Did he know he was in the board room at all? Before she could voice even one of the questions swirling in her mind, Mr. Jude snapped arrogantly. "What nonsense! Who do you think you are, barging into the boardroom as if it were your living room?" When Mr. Kane heard him address his young master with such arrogance, his face turned red with fury. “Shut it, Jude! Do you know who you are—” “Hem!
