“I’m very sorry that I left abruptly last night,” she said after they had made their orders. “It’s okay. Besides you had been there longer than me and it’s always wise to return home early.” She smiled. “You look really great. What are you doing in New York, Rodney? Are you just visiting or you live here?” “Harvey and I want to start over. We would like to start something here, maybe a business. I’m from LA.” “Why did you leave? I think LA has nearly the same opportunities as New York. Is there a significant difference?” Rodney shook his head. “I don’t know but I don’t really care. All I need is a fresh start. I recently lost my mother and didn’t want to stay home. Too many bitter memories.” “Ohh,” she said, her hand moving on the table. She placed it on top of his. Rodney felt a rush of electricity that travelled through his whole body within seconds. His breath hitched. He wanted to pull his hand back fearing that she would notice what was going on inside him but it felt reall

“Since you have a reasonable amount of money in the bank, there are so many options for you.” Gregory Johnson said. The financial advisor leaned back against his chair and glanced at a clock on the wall before turning back to the two young men. “If you decide not to start a business, you can invest in dividend stock funds, cryptocurrency, series I bonds among others. Of course all these come with their own gains and risks, but then again all investment involves the two aspects.”“Okay,” Rodney said.“Have you set any goals?”“No,” Rodney shook his head.“Well, you need well defined short term and long term goals with strict deadlines. These will give us a clear guideline to follow. Don’t worry, I will help you with the goal setting process since it is one of the things I do. Before we proceed, I’d like to know if there’s any field you are interested in entering. Although funds investment can grow your money, a business could make you a millionaire. So, Rodney and Harvey, have you thou
A Son's Revenge: Destroying My Father Questions
Rodney did not see Lilly during the next two weeks. She called him and sent messages but he made no attempt to reply. He couldn’t bring himself to block her although that was what Harvey advised him to do. A part of him believed her, and he was not ready to let go. Besides, he was lonely and had not made new friends since getting to New York. All he had was Harvey who was always busy on a job hunting mission.The financial advisor had said Rodney was not yet ready for entrepreneurship and he needed a bit of experience before starting out. He advised Rodney to put some money in bank investments and get a job somewhere to give him a feel of what it meant to run a business. Rodney and Harvey both managed to find jobs in sales at the same athletics store. Two people had resigned on the day they walked in. Apparently, they had fallen in love and decided to move to a small town and start their own business and family.It was hard to find motivation to work when you had more than enough mon

“Lilly is my name. My name is Lilly Price. I know this is a lot. I’m just waiting for you to get up and storm out of here.”Rodney sighed. He picked up his glass and downed the drink before requesting for another one. He stared at the beautiful woman in front of him and shook his head lightly. He smiled and stared into her eyes.Lilly smiled back, and didn’t say anything. She picked up her glass and took a sip of her drink before placing it back on the table.Rodney didn’t know what to think. He could hear a couple on the next table talking about how much they loved each other.All of his blood had run to a certain part of him a long time ago when he saw Lilly. Now, the feelings seemed to have grown. He wanted to ask her home but had no idea if he could trust her. When he looked into her eyes, he could see innocence, but that was the same innocence that had fooled him into believing her. “Do you admit that this is a lot to take in?” he asked her.She smiled. “Yes. I know. I’m glad th
A Son's Revenge: Destroying My Father Learning
During the next few weeks, Rodney learnt a lot about running a business. He was only on a sales position, but he watched everyone, and studied how everything was running. During the meetings, he paid attention to know the things that brought profits, and those that lead to losses. He read all the company manuals, policies, and other documents which enlightened him on a lot of things.He realised that Gregory was right. If he had started a business without the information he was learning, it wouldn’t have survived. He would have lost a lot of money. Being a quick learner, he knew he would have got everything he needed before the end of the year. He took some entrepreneurship courses, attended workshops and seminars to build skills and gain practical knowledge. With time, he moved on to another company to experience a different environment so he could compare. This was mostly a service company. It provided travel services.His friendship with Lilly beca

He started to get better friends, and do things he found meaningful. He quit his sales jobs in order to focus on studies and creating a plans for the business he wished to start. The money he had invested in bonds was growing, although not as fast as he thought it would in a business. Gregory, the financial advisor wanted to take things slow but Rodney was becoming impatient. He wanted to be part of something big, like some of his classmates. Eventually, Rodney decided to ignore Gregory’s advice, and sought advice from his New York peers and workmates on what business was trending in the city.Eventually, he decided to open an online store for outdoor sports wearables. He decided to use the knowledge he had learnt in Active Sapiens to promote his products. Active sapiens had also had an ecommerce shop. Although he
A Son's Revenge: Destroying My Father Father's return
Within the next few months, Rodney worked closely with Gregory to ensure that he got back on his feet. There were a lot of things that needed to be worked on. Rodney actually learnt more from Gregory than he had in all the courses, trainings and seminars he had undertaken. The man was full of knowledge. Rodney regretted thinking he could do it better on his own without the required knowledge and skills. While it was true that he could do it if he put in enough time, he could do so much better with the mentorship of an expert.During the second semester of school, Rodney got less busy and therefore put more focus on his entrepreneurial dreams. When he was sure he was ready, Rodney started a business. Over the past year, he had started to love finance so he started a business and a consulting company in that field.The company grew slowly, as Gregory had predicted. It was an upwards slope, not a downwards slope that had befallen his first business. That one had grown fast, and fallen fa

A happy family
Emilia’s crazy party was still ongoing when Rodney returned. He packed his things, said goodbye to his drunken sister and left her with a letter warning her to be more careful and less reckless. He told her she was welcome to contact him if she needed anything. Rodney arrived in New York and went straight to Harvey’s apartment where they reunited happily. The next day, he and Harvey went to check on the companies. He was relieved to find everything running smoothly. Harvey had achieved beyond expectations. Rodney had a feeling one of the contributors was Harvey’s happiness. Since he had moved his whole family to New York, he was much happier and less worried. Although Rodney was happy to see his friend, he couldn’t wait to see his own family.Four days later, he was on a plane heading to Europe with his little sister. Lyra was more excited than he was. She couldn’t wait to see Europe. They arrived at the small French town at 10 in the night. When they knocked on the house, Rodney’s h
Gone
Alberto was killed on his first day at the maximum prison. After his escape, he had been taken to a more secure prison where he could only dream of escaping. Unfortunately for him, that was where other notorious crimes were being held, including some notorious drug lords who had been his competitors. One of them was El Monstruo. He had been sold out by Alberto two years back and he had sworn to get his revenge. When Alberto was taken to the prison he was in, he managed to bribe a guard to lace Alberto’s food with drugs. When Alberto felt weak, he sneaked in and killed him. That was how a man who had always been so cautious went down.Rodney wasn’t happy when he heard the news. He wasn’t very sad, either. He had thought he’d be overjoyed when Alberto died but he didn’t feel so. He had never really thought Alberto needed to die. He just wanted him pay for his sins. Rodney was even a bit disappointed because he had hoped Alberto would be alive to witness his downfall. He had hoped Albert
Scared
The sound of fists pounding against flesh filled the air as the Rodrigo relentlessly attacked the Rodney. Rodney had been knocked to the ground. He tried to shield himself with his arms, but it was no use. Rodrigo who was fueled by anger and resentment, continued to pummel him without mercy.“Stop it, stop it!” Rodney cried out.But Rodrigo only sneered and continued his assault, landing blows to Rodney's face and stomach. The younger man tried to crawl away, but the older and stronger one grabbed him by the hair and yanked him back, raining more blows down upon him.Finally, Rodney managed to break free and got up to his feet, gasping for breath. He wanted to leave the room, tired of hearing Rodrigo’s mocking laughter following him.Suddenly, uncle Markos came into the room and delivered a strong punch to Rodrigo’s face. Rodrigo raised his hand to strike his uncle, but Markos held his hand. Rodrigo’s strength was nothing compared to his uncle’s.“What’s wrong with you, boy?” he asked
Worst son
Alberto.“What are you doing here?” Alberto asked his son. “I’m pretty sure you’re mighty glad I’m here.”Rodney smiled. “You’re not wrong. I’m glad you’re here, where you belong.”Alberto chuckled. “So what? You came to gloat? I must warn you. I’ll not last long here so be careful about what you say or do. I might just ruin your life when I get out.”“Then I’ll make sure to enjoy the time I have while you’re stuck behind bars then. I’m enjoying this more than you think, Alberto. You know why? Because I was the one who told the police where you were.”Alberto’s lips slightly parted as the words sunk in.“That’s right,” Rodney said. “The son you think is no good actually managed to put you in jail. Alberto, the greatest drug lord whom many have tried to capture but have failed. Rodney Nelson, the good for nothing son with one kidney actually did it. The woman you killed must be very proud of her son, wherever she is.”Alberto rose and swiftly grabbed Rodney’s neck with his handcuffed h
Confined
Two weeks laterRodney was tired of being confined in Alberto’s mansion. He had reached his breaking point after begging alberto to let him go in vain. Taking care of Lyra was the only thing that gave him some comfort. One afternoon, he was sitting on the edge of the bed, his sister seated on a small stool. He carefully combed through her soft, curly hair, trying to gently untangle the unruly knots.“Ow, that hurts!” Lyra protested, squirming in his grip. Her hair had been messier than before that morning.“I'm sorry, Ly, but you have to let me comb your hair,” Rodney told her, trying to be patient.He continued to comb the hair, using his fingers to gently loosen the tangles. His sister’s hair was so curly and thick, and it was a struggle to get through it all. Finally, he finished and leaned back to admire his handiwork, a proud smile spreading across his face.“I’m done now,” he said. “You have the most beautiful hair in the world.”Lyra giggled, reaching up to touch her now-smooth
The clues
Miss Jones.Miss Jones was marking her student’s maths homework after having her lunch. When she came upon Lyra Sandman’s homework, she paused, feeling mildly annoyed. She remembered the girl’s brother who had promised to call her but had ghosted her instead. She felt more annoyed at herself for flirting with him. That’s what you get for flirting with your students’ parents, she chastised herself. She decided it would be the last time she would ever do something like that.She decided to forget the brother and focus on her student’s work. She realised this was Lyra’s best work. She figured the brother must have been helping her with it. Before, Lyra’s homework was always poorly done, as if there was no responsible person to help her with it at home. She felt admiration for the man.When she reached the second last paragraph, she saw something that had been written in a smaller font in between the paragraphs.“Lives on the wrong address. Details faked. Both stuck. Most wanted dl. Don’t

Rodney stood nervously in front of the kitchen counter, staring at the different ingredients laid out before him. His teacher was a seasoned chef called Marlon Price. He worked exclusively for his father’s cartel, earning millions. He had worked on a TV station for a while and never made anything substantial so he was more than happy to work for the drug lord. Marlon stood beside him, ready to guide him through the steps of creating a delicious meal.“First, we’ll start with the vegetables,” Marlon said, picking up a large, sharp knife. “You want to chop them into small, even pieces. Like this.” He demonstrated, expertly slicing the vegetables into neat little squares.After seeing how it was done, Rodney picked up the knife and mimicked the chef’s movements, trying to keep his cuts as even as possible. His looked a hundred times worse than the chef’s. Rodney had decided to learn how to cook out of boredom. As he looked for a way of delivering Alberto to the police, he decided to do s
Hatred
Rodney was feeling a deep ache in his chest. He had been friends with Octavio for only a few days but was missing him so much. He stared out the window, watching the leaves fall from the trees. The atmosphere outside seemed so dull and lifeless, just like how he felt inside without his new friend. He curled up on bed, wishing he could just disappear and never have to face the pain of losing Octavio. He had not prayed in a long time but that night he did. He prayed for Octavio to be alive.He went and sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the dull walls of the room. Tears streamed down his face as he thought about his mother, who had been murdered in cold blood just a few months back.As he sat there, he could still hear her sweet, angelic voice in his head, telling him to be strong and to never give up. She had always been by his side but now, he felt lost and alone without her. For a dark, gloomy moment, he thought of ending it all but the thought quickly left his mind, which
The cousin
Octavio.Octavio hands were tied tightly behind his back, and he could feel the rough ropes digging into his skin. His mouth was gagged, and he felt a lot of discomfort allover his body. One of Alberto’s men stood in front of him, a cruel smile on his face. The tall burly man held a knife in his hand. He walked around for a while before turning back and moving towards Octavio. He crouched down and dragged the blade slowly across the Octavio's chest, causing the young man to flinch and writhe in pain.“You thought you could mess with the wrong people, huh?” the man sneered. “Well, you're gonna regret that. We're gonna make you pay, one way or another.”Octavio desperately tried to plead with his eyes, hoping someone would come to his rescue. But no one was coming. He was alone with his tormentor, who continued to torture him with the knife, cutting him in small, shallow wounds. Octavio couldn’t help but wonder if his uncle was okay with the mutilation. The cuts were not very serious bu
