News spread like wildfire upon the return of MARK JOHNSON’S GRANDSON, the heir to the multi-billionaire JM CORPORATIONS, there will be a ball to welcome his return, the news got to the ears of Regina as she sought a plan to seduce the grandson and take away her misery.“Since it's a masked ball, it will be easier for no one to recognize me, my family has disowned me because of that bastard Adrian but with my charms, I’m sure to win the heart of the man, I need to make a comeback to make Adrian life a living hell,” Regina said to herself as she looked for the perfect gown for the ball tonight.“Do you have to do all this Adrian?” a tall handsome young man was seen dressing in an expensive tuxedo.A smirk plastered on Adrian’s face as he helped the young man dress, “Yes Lucas, you’re my best friend and you saw what she did to me these past few months and no one knows you, only I and Grandpa, besides she’s a pawn in my chess board which I’m ready to make her life a living hell.”“You scar

Things haven’t been easy for Regina, especially when it came to job hunting, no matter where she went, no one seemed to take her seriously, and one mistake had totally ruined her life. To her utmost surprise, her grandfather's bills have all been cleared and they need not worry about any medical expenses.Luckily for them, they still had their home, so they need not worry about a roof over them but getting a job to feed them was a hassle.“Any luck?” Regina’s mom asked her while preparing their lunch, Regina shook her head disappointed, “I couldn’t even land myself a cleaning job, Richmond completely left us with nothing and he’s in jail,” she said with a hysterical laugh.Regina’s mom looked at her with a disappointed look, “How I wish I never supported you maybe just be life would easy for at least some of us in this house.”Regina scoffed at her mother’s words, “Mom, you were much as greedy as I was, when you noticed that Richmond was much richer, you didn’t even think twice, you w

“Get down, right now!” One of the men voiced out, aggressively.“Do we really need to tell them to get down, or we can just drive them off to our location.” Another goon, suggested as they all pointed their guns at us.“Yeah, that’s true.”Lucas and I exchanged looks, and before we knew it, the hefty men brought Lucas and me down and shoved us into the back seat of the car.“This is why you should get a security patrol or whatever,” Lucas whispered, feeling a little scared.He was right. If I had security guards who followed me every single place I went to, it would have been much better. In a case like this, even if they were not able to win against these hefty men, we would have escaped as they would have given us enough time to escape.“Who are you, and what do you want with us?” I asked as two more men joined us at the back, and squeezed us in the middle like we were nothing.“Oh, come on. Do you really think we’re going to tell you? Now, to dash all your hopes, we aren’t going to

“Is there anything wrong?” She asked, staring at me, out of curiosity.“Don’t tell me you…” Adrian spoke and paused.“Speak! I don’t understand you.” She said, frustratingly.Out of anger, he got out of the car and slammed the door shut.Talia was so baffled as she didn’t understand his sudden change of attitude. If not for the fact that she knew he had a good health condition, she would have assumed that he was probably a psychiatric patient.She had to get out of the car as well and confronted him.“Is it because I need your help that you keep acting as it pleases you? At least, consider the life of my grandfather which is at stake.”“First, I recall warning you about how critical his condition, was, and that I needed to treat him, but you didn’t agree. Secondly, you, Talia, had the effrontery to walk up and send men, to abduct me!”As Talia heard the last sentence he made, she froze and found it difficult to even speak.“What…what did you just say?” She questioned, trying her best

“So, what do we do? Now that he has given you a task, you have to ensure it’s done, the way he wants it.” Lucas said as he finally sat on the couch, after pacing around for about half an hour. “Well, I have no choice but to do this. Truly, if I want to get back at those who did wrong, I must prove that I am very well capable of that, or I would forever be a pauper and a useless being, to them.” Adrian spoke, staring into blank space like he was working out some things in his head.“I think we should start with finding out his current whereabouts, and then we start out what we ought to,” Lucas suggested.“Alright, let’s find out.” Adrian agreed, and they began to make their findings.After conducting deep research, they were able to get his whereabouts.“Paris of all places,” Lucas said as he connected the heel of his palm, to his face, and dragged it down to his chin.“Is there a problem with that?” Adrian asked, wondering why Lucas acted that way because he felt wealthy men were alw
