Frank wanted to ignore what he saw, but curiosity took the best part of him, and he insisted that his driver should find a place to park, so he could climb down the car and go after this young man.

Immediately after the car was parked, Frank hastily opened the car door, he jumped off the car, and began running to the gate as if someone was after his life.

“ What's wrong with him? Is he drunk?” Mr. Sebastian questioned Mateo, who also jumped down the car and followed Frank. So, also his fellow guards.

Mr. Sebastian was lost at this scene. Is anything wrong that he isn't aware of?

Because judging from Frank's action, Mr. Sebastian could tell that it wasn't because he mistakenly saw Fernando which made him react like that. There must be some hidden secret for this.

Before Frank could get outside the gate, Fernando was nowhere to be found because he had taken a corner to a hidden path, not because he saw Frank's convoy.

“ Where's he?” Frank asked the gatemen, who were staring at him wit

  • Accept Your Fate   PROLOGUE

    “ I never created myself, nor does anyone have the power to create himself. Although body size can sometimes be chosen by an individual, do I have a choice? No, because even when I try to lose weight, I end up falling sick or injured. My grandfather was also contributing to making me become a trouser destroyer, as my younger brother addresses me. If only I can convince everyone that having a plump body isn't a sickness, I would have done that to avoid all this embarrassment.”Fernando was an obese man with fleshy body meat. For this reason, he was not getting any attention from any girl. No lady looks twice at him. His grandfather who took the place of his parents always showered him with love, and he gets everything he needs. Despite having rich parents, and being the heir to his father's properties, every lady chose his younger brother over him. Fernando ran out of patience as his younger brother kept on getting all the sexy ladies who were meant to be his but there was nothing h

    Many mansions can be spotted from afar, and one doesn't need to be told that that particular territory was for billionaires.Among the buildings was Mr. Frederick's beautiful mansion, where all his households were busy with their daily routines.A plump man could be seen sitting on one of the couches as he operated his laptop. His heaviness could break a stool to pieces if he seats on it.The size of his clothes was three times larger than anybody's clothes in the house. He was always regarded as a lazy and greedy person who never bothered to stress himself.If there is anything he does, it is to comfortably sit in an executive chair in his office and give orders and nothing more.Doors suddenly opened and Fernando raised his head to see who was entering the living room as his grandfather made him a promise before leaving the house.He had been curious to see the surprise his grandfather said he had for him. His grandfather never gets tired of giving him surprises, even when Fernando

    When Fernando and his grandfather were informed that Frank and Sophia went out, they both went cold and shocked.They couldn't sleep that night until they waited for Frank and Sophia's arrival. That night, Fernando and Frank almost fought, but their grandfather stopped them so as not to spoil the wedding ceremony, which was planned to take place the next day.Frank tried to prove his innocence, claiming that Sophia was responsible for his actions. But was it true? Not at all. ‘ Lies upon lies.’Sophia, on the other hand, was quarreled by their grandfather, but she was too drunk to understand what was going on.On noticing that Sophia was drunk, Fernando got angrier at Frank, but his grandfather never permitted him to react, instead, he pleaded with him to take her to his room.“ Don't forget, the lawyer won't release your father's documents to you if you don't get married as signed on the papers. After the marriage, you can go wherever you feel like going with your wife.” Those wer

  • Accept Your Fate   5 THE ROBBERS AND THE HELPER

    Fernando arrived at a city named ‘Are you ready?’ which was abbreviated to ‘ AYR'.This city was known for all manners of evil things. War, Kidnapping, and all sorts of things that claim people's lives.It's hard for one to sleep peacefully as long as you are lucky to be alive. For that reason, they gave it that name.The meaning of the city name was ‘ Are you ready to run for your life?’ because anything can happen at any moment.People don't sleep with their two eyes closed because any disaster might arise at any time.However, when a certain man emerged as the new president of the country, security personnel were mounted in every corner of the city. And the city was currently at peace.Nevertheless, there were still some others who never saw peace as an option in their daily life, and continued with their bad deeds.

    After the wedding which took place the previous day, Frank was stressed out to ask his assistant, Mateo, if he delivered what he was assigned.Mateo, who happened to be Frank's assistant, had been waiting for his boss to summon him to ask about the assignment he was given.He knew that Frank would need feedback if he was able to execute what he was assigned to do. Immediately he was sent for, he knew what Frank was going to ask,“ Did you kill him?" That's the only statement that was ringing in Mateo's mind.On reaching the door, Mateo prayed to his creator that his boss shouldn't find out that he spared Fernando's life.With shivering hands, he knocked on Frank's door, and Frank's voice echoed from inside the room like a whisper, but it was clear for Mateo to hear him. Mateo slowly opened the door and stepped inside, and Frank signaled him to wait for a while without making any movement, which he did, and slowly closed the door behind him.Frank ponderously raised the duvet on his

Although, that didn't stop them from having their breakfast before leaving; Mr. Lucas ensured that.Fernando was convinced, at last, that he didn't fall into the wrong hands. Indeed, Mr. Lucas was an angel sent from above to his rescue.He couldn't have told how his life would have ended if he was ashamed to meet Mr. Lucas and pleaded for help.Most people skip their destiny helpers because of one thing or the other, but Fernando was different. He never hesitated to ask for help or help someone who seeks his help.Life is about giving and taking.Maybe, that's why people never hesitated to help him when he needed one.

    “ My dad married a second wife, who became my stepmom and took care of me since childhood. She also had her children, and I was the eldest among them, and they considered me as their elder brother without any difference.” Mr. Lucas paused and let out a sneeze.“ Sorry. Do you need extra water?” Fernando caringly asked, but Mr. Lucas declined.The living room went silent as Mr. Lucas tried to calm himself down before he continued with his saga.“ I can't tell if my stepmom or my dad informed my younger ones who were three in number; a girl and three boys, if I was born by another woman or not.” “ And you didn't ask your dad if he did?” “ No, I didn't bother to ask because I see no reason to ask.” Mr. Lucas answered Fernando's question, and he nodded with satisfaction.Mr. Lucas crossed his legs as he went ahead to narrate the story to Fernando, who was seriously paying attention to it.“ They so much respected me to a degree that I never thought they would betray me one day.

    “ But dad…”“ That's my final decision and no one should question me.” he snapped as Olivia was about to lay another complaint.“ Just get ready to sign the documents the young man who wants to partner with us is coming with,” he announced and stood up to leave.“ Dad, please…” Olivia stood up and ran to him and held his hand as she knelt on the ground.Fernando couldn't utter a word as it was no longer a surprise that everyone hates him, including people he once helped their daughter.“ Please, don't do this to me.” she pleaded with tears dripping down her cheeks as her knees remained on the floor.“ Why do you want to suffer this little child? Haven't you suffered her enough? Didn't you promised not to wrong her again?” several questions escaped Mrs. Smith's mouth. “ Shut up, woman!” Mr. Smith smacked.“ Her future is more important than her presence. Would you be around to provide for or protect her when she is being maltreated by her husband?” he scolded his wife.“ This is the 21s

    “ Dad,” Olivia called for her father's attention. “ Do you know him?” she asked with anticipation to hear what he had to say.Mr. Smith remained silent for a few seconds before turning around and replying to her.“ Yeah, I knew him a long time ago.”“ Huh? A long time ago?” Olivia was lost and diverted her gaze to Fernando, who had innocently composed himself.“ How did you know him?” she asked her father.Mr. Smith sighed before offering Fernando a seat.“ please have a seat.” he said, and Fernando slowly motioned to one of the sofas and sat down.“ You can also sit, please.” Mr. Smith told Olivia and her mother.Mr. Smith sat beside his wife and crossed his legs as he balanced his hands on the headrest.“ This young man you are seeing here,” Mr. Smith began.“ Once saved you from drowning in a beach a few years ago,” he explained to Olivia, who sat on the sofa with her arms folded above her chest as she rested her back against the sofa. “ He saved me from drowning?

This will help her to handle her father's properties after he has passed on.”“ Is she married?” Frank inquired with the thought that he might lure her to

    18 A GOODBYE TO HIS BOSS

    “ It's late,” Olivia's voice brought Fernando to reality.“ You can join me on the bed whenever you wish to. I'm feeling sleepy already,” said Olivia to Fernando as she climbed onto the bed and laid down.Fernando remained dumb without uttering a word to Olivia, rather, he scanned the room, wondering how she was addressing herself as a billionaire's daughter, and she lives in this poor place.Is Olivia playing with his senses or what? Was she chased away from home because she did something wrong or what? All these questions were running through Fernando's mind, but he couldn't make any sense of them. His mouth was itching to ask Olivia all these questions, but he noticed that she was already asleep, and he wouldn't want to wake her up.Fernando walked closer to the bed and stood there and gazed at Olivia's pale, smooth skin.It was glowing with the electric lights on the ceiling that shone on it, as though she rubbed olive oil a

    Fernando trembled as he stiffened in one place and watched these gangs approaching him with their weapons as though they were going for a battle.He looked around to see if he could find anything to grab to defend himself from this gang, but there was nothing close by.Fernando shut his eyes and took a deep breath and muttered.“ Fernando, no matter what will happen, make sure you fight to escape.” Thank goodness for Olivia, who had been training Fernando. His weight had reduced, and he would be able to run away and escape if the opportunity comes.On opening his eyes, he touched his back pocket, and he felt his phone inside it. Fernando nodded with a chuckle as the men came closer.“ I have to take risks to survive,” he muttered and took out his phone.With haste, Fernando threw the phone against one of the gang members, so he can get a space between them to escape.“ Argh…!” the victim screamed out in pain and fell to the ground with his eyes covered with his palms.Fernando's phone

One can easily tell that this young man was overjoyed because of something best known to him.Immediately he got to the store, he met the long queue in the store as countless customers waited to be attempted to.Fernando could hear many of them murmuring because they had stayed longer than they should have. However, some of them went ahead to complain about the absence of Fernando, who was supposed to be around to assist his boss. He mingled his way through until he was able to get to the counter. As if the customers were controlled by a remote, some of them immediately left the queue and went to Fernando.Thankfully, as soon as he started collecting payments for things bought, the tension in the shop decreased.Mr. Lucas was too busy to say anything to Fernando after noticing when he entered the shop.After a few hours of attending to the customers, they finally got some spare time to speak to each other.Seeing the

    15 THERE'S HOPE

    It was a beautiful morning and both Fernando and Olivia were jogging on the expressway.Even after informing Fernando that she was a married woman, he never wanted to let her go because he didn't believe her, and she doesn't look like one.He aimed to get to know her house, so he could tell whether she was telling the truth or not. But then she refused to show him. As they were jogging ging, a call interrupted Olivia, which made her stop and check the caller's ID. It was her father.Olivia rolled her eyes with hesitation if she should pick up the call or not. “ Can you please hold on for a few minutes?” Olivia said to Fernando, who was profusely sweating.“ Alright," he muttered with his breath ceasing. He was breathing heavily because he was almost exhausted.Olivia took a few steps away from him before picking up the call. Silence followed. She didn't say a word, as she expected her father to speak because he was the

    14 THE CHOICE IS YOURS

    It was a bright new day and Frank was in Mr. Rowan's office as they discussed his inheritance.“ You see, Frank, I have told you the best thing to do, but you are too scared to act. Why?” Mr. Rowan asked.Frank clasped his palms against his face and replied to him,“ Sir, this is too hard for me to do. How can I kill that innocent man?” The truth is Frank was scared to kill his father's lawyer because he was someone in the top position in the country. This states that it would be hard for him to end this man's life and not be caught. Moreover, he wasn't used to this, and drafting out a better plan and doing it without being caught will be tough.“ What do you mean by that?” Mr. Rowan frowned.“ Why was it so easy for you to order for your biological brother to be killed, but you can't kill this man that you aren't related to?” “ Sir,” Frank called out.“ The truth is I hated Fernando and I never wanted him to inherit our father's assets. That's why I didn't think twice before doing it.
