Chapter 1
"Yeah, listen up. I want to order a pizza, but don’t screw this up, alright? I don’t have time for incompetence from some broke ass pizza delivery guy.” That's the first thing Niko heard when he answered the phone, “who the hell orders pizza like that?” He sensed the arrogance from whoever was behind that thick voice over the phone. But he ignored the rudeness and asked him “Sure, sir. What can I get for you today?”“Dumbass I already said I want a large pizza. What else do you sell if not pizza?”Things like this always made Niko hate his job, he'd been working in that pizza shop for almost a year and he never got used to all the insults and harsh treatment. But he was willing to keep enduring all of it as long as it fetched him some money to take care of himself and his girlfriend Vikkie. “Bring me some pizza fool, make it pepperoni, extra cheese. And don’t be stingy with the toppings, got it? I’m paying good money, and I expect quality.” Did he really have to be this brutal? “F

Chapter 2
“Ah…” Niko was in pain as he lay on the hospital bed where they'd rushed him to, “Vikkie’s gonna pay for this!” He managed to say out of anger! He couldn't remember who took him there but he knew for sure it wasn't his cheating ex “No one betrays Niko Foster and gets away with it, especially not the ones I trusted.” Niko was hurt not just by the wounds, but also by the fact that all these years, he'd been foolish enough to believe that Vikkie cared about him “She turned her back on me and watched that fatso spit on me. They shall all pay!”The door to his room creaked open and a nurse walked in. “What?” Her eyes widened in surprise as she recognized Niko. She was Vikkie’s best friend and they always gossiped about him, she'd even told Vikkie to dump him many times before it finally happened. “Well look who it is, the Lord has finally delivered you to me, to specifically deal with you, fool.” Nurse Emma said with a smile curling on her lips. She quickly reached for a syringe knowing t

“What? This has to be some kinda prank!” Niko kept looking at the credit alert, wondering “who would send such a huge amount of money to me? And why?” He asked out loud and the girls heard him. “Ten million dollars? This is some crazy ass amount of money.” he couldn’t even tell if he was being loud or not but yes he was and the girls became more curious “Wait he's got 10 million dollars? Girl, we gotta seduce this dude, let's apologize for our behavior.” one of them whispered to the other's ear.Niko had never seen such an amount before, he'd never earned up to two thousand dollars at once, and it was hard to believe this. “You should spend that money, Niko.” The latina said, trying to be nicer than she really was. “What money?” Niko turned back to look from the corner of his eye. “The 10 million dollars” She winked. “Look at these thirsty girls, already being nice to me after hearing about money.” Niko mumbled then said “I don't know what you're talking about.” He spit on the bur

Chapter 4
The early hours of the morning weren't the same as they've always been for Niko, he couldn't get enough sleep and all he could think about was the mysterious transfer of money into his account and the voice of that random caller telling him he knows so well about him and his family “That man better not be playing games with me.” He muttered getting out of bed. “Four O'clock I need to be at the Winxel building, man I'm so nervous right now.” He stepped out of the house seeing his Latina neighbor doing some exercise on a mat placed on her corridor. “I hate this girl but I gotta give her credit for her daily workouts. Good determination, bad girl.” He briefly watered the flower at his backyard and before he could go back into the house he saw a black SUV approaching with speed “Who the hell drives this crazy in the morning?” He wasn't about to get an answer. The car powerfully stopped infront of him after a crazy drift, the doors opened and three men rushed out all dressed in black and

“What?” Niko couldn't believe it, “My brother?”“I'm your elder brother!”“My elder brother? You're a liar!”“Well you believe what you wanna believe fool.” Zayne hissed. “I don't have a brother.”“Well this is it, I was adopted by Mr. Foster Kinon, our father. He took me into his family as a baby and I grew up believing I was his legitimate son, enjoying his riches and building up my confidence, knowing fully well that I'll one day inherit all of his riches and good name, but in the past few years, I noticed that dad was busy investigating so hard about something. He was so obsessed with this investigation to a point I noticed it and I decided to eavesdrop all his conversations and secretly read all his files and messages, and it is at that point, I got to discover that I am not the biological son and he has been seriously searching for his child to inherit all of those companies I helped him build. Who does that? Huh? And now I've finally been able to trace you, Niko Foster, the su

“I gotta hurry up and meet this man before the kidnappers come here to get me again!” Niko rushed into the shower and was out in a flash. He looked at the table knife close to the teapot, fighting the temptation to carry it in his pockets. “Sometimes I wish I had a gun to protect myself from all these fools.”He hurriedly put on a simple outfit, rushing to the mirror to look at his face, eager to meet the mysterious stranger at the Winxel building. “I thought this was all gonna be some prank but now it's getting serious. These dudes wanna take my life over a fortune I know nothing about.” He fell to the temptation, he slid the knife in his left pocket “just in case.”His mind raced with thoughts about the stranger who'd been speaking to him on the phone, “I still can't get why or how this person knows so much about me. Well I guess I'm gonna find out soon. Just as Niko reached for the door, his doorbell rang, making him freeze immediately. “Oh shit! That must be the kidnappers! They

"I ain't lying, you'll understand when I explain" she replied, still smiling. "I am a woman.” “You care to explain this whole twist to me?” Niko took out a handkerchief to clean the sweat on his face, the twists and turns were already too much for him. “I used a male AI voice to speak to you over the phone." Aaliyah explained. “Oh shit” Niko stared at her, “ I guess the world is too advanced, it's all getting scary.” Aaliyah laughed. "But… Why did you use an Ai voice to speak to me though?" Niko finally let the question out. She crossed her arms and nodded toward the Winxel building. "Your father owns the AI voice company, and I wanted to show you just how realistic our technology can be. I used it on purpose to introduce you to one of the many innovations you're about to take over.”Take over? “They already want me to take over a company? Man… This is happening so fast.” Niko took a deep breath, then smiled nervously. Aaliyah turned to check the time on her wrist watch, and t

“CEO?” Vikkie asked mockingly, “Are you referring to Niko as a CEO?” She laughed out loud, not believing it. “Maybe he's the CEO of broke people ha ha.” Trevor joined in the mockery. Vikkie moved closer to Niko saying “Hey are you maybe the chairman of Pizza guys association?” She enjoyed doing this, making Niko shift backwards. Aaliyah could see Niko struggle to hold himself, he was obviously angry and had already set a reputation for not letting things slide easily. Aaliyah knew he would strike if the annoying talks from Vikkie kept coming, so she held him by the hand saying “Let's get the fuck outta here Niko. They're gonna regret this soon.” She turned, leading him away. “Who's gonna regret? We ain't regretting nothing, and you guys better stop wasting your time, you're not gonna get a job here.” Vikkie shouted at them as they walked away. They thought Niko and Aaliyah were there in search of a job, just like them. Vikkie and Trevor exchanged glances and laughed at each othe

Trevor rose up from his seat in panic. “Why are you standing? Where the hell do you want to go?” Vikkie asked, trying to drag him back to his seat, holding the sleeve of his white shirt “Get your ass back down Trevor.”“Don't speak to me like that! I wanna go ‘nd apologise to Niko.”“Oh hell no! You ain't doing that shit! You ain't gonna disgrace me like that!”“What the hell do you mean?”“Niko is my ex and you are my man, so you can't go begging my ex for forgiveness, where's your pride?” Vikkie’s voice got louder, it was all slowly becoming a yell and the people around could notice the tension. “Listen to me Vikkie, I am a man and I take drastic measures when necessary.”“What you wanna do is not necessary.”“I have waited for a very long time for an opportunity to work in this company and it's my only hope, I can't let it slide.”“Fine! Do whatever you want. But better not mention me in your damn apology!” Vikkie let go of him angrily, squeezing up her face as she turned away to

“Well you can leave, Trevor. I don’t give a shit!” Vikkie said before slapping him at the back as he turned to leave.“Shit!” Trevor turned back to her with a red angry face “look at me Vikkie, take a close look at my face!” He said pointing at his face, breathing more heavily than before.“What now? You think I’m scared of you? Or you think I’m gonna cry cos you wanna leave?”“I’m gonna let this slide right now. But I swear to God if you dare lay a finger on me again, I’m gonna forget the fact that you’re a woman and we’re in public, I’m gonna make sure you regret it.”“What are you gonna do huh? You’re gonna beat me? You’re gonna beat a woman huh? Go ahead then, woman beater!”“Say whatever you wanna say, I don’t give a shit!” He turned back to leave, pushing away the chairs to make way out of the crowd. But Vikkie wasn’t going to stop talking now, not yet.“Well, leave now! Leave like you didn’t just tell me you loved me last night” She said at the top of her voice and the crowd we
