“The contest will begin now.” The host began.

Cold chills rushed up his spine when he saw different personalities and their gaze on each of them. Was it the president? Or his vice? Or the honorable guest of an established career. He has never been so nervous and scared before.

“As experienced technologists, today’s challenge was picked from deteriorating companies, the participants shall be solving the problem of Cybersecurity Threats Continuity, Data Protection, and Privacy and Lagging using the application on their laptop screen.” The host meticulously explained to them. “This case has been constantly happening in most companies which leads to fold up or crash, but today, we must seek a permanent solution to it.” The host continued, walking down from the stage.

    “H- How did this happen?” He asked angrily.“Yes.” Leo faced Dennis. “A fire can’t start up in broad daylight without anything happening.” Leo indirectly urged him for an answer.“I was on my way to meet the chairman at the presidential villa when I got a call from the security guarding the branch, they informed me of a sudden fire which made me rush down there. I witnessed it with my eyes as the building exploded, burnt down into ashes, leaving only iron bars.” Dennis told the story to them sadly and they shook their head dolefully.“This is bad!” One of the investors screamed in pain.“That was a lot of money! Over $300 to $400 billion spent in building that magnificent structure.” One of the shareholders held his head, unable to withstand the news.“Not even this contest can make us recover such a loss. We are done for.” Leo informed him bluntly.“I can’t let this go just like that.” He clenched his fist in anger. “I will make sure to get to the button of this.” He gritted his teet

He pinned his back behind a long van that gave him a clear view of what they were doing; he could also hear what they were saying - maybe not so clear.“Do you think he is trying to stand us up?” Madam Theresa panicked more than the person in question, Madam Felicia sighed in disgust.“Will you calm down and wait? Don’t poke me, it’s not like I’m with him there.” Madam Felicia was so annoyed that she yelled at her co-wife in anger.They were the only ones in the creepy street and all they heard were rustles and weird sounds which scared them.

    “Rich men do this but I had no belief that your father will follow them.” He sighed, about to leave the table but she stopped him by grabbing his hand.“Jamal.” She called out to him. Because of the eyes that were slowly turning to him, he reluctantly sat down. “It hasn’t gotten to the point of getting mad, has it?” She asked him sadly.“Of course, it has.” He paused. “If it was a case that I was a poor man, it would have been understandable. But right now, I have money and he is also aware that we are dating, why is he trying to arrange you for someone else?” He questioned annoyingly, staring at Melanie’s clueless eyes.“Well, if that’s what he wants, I won't fight with him. Besides, I have so much on my tab that I can’t afford to fight for a woman, At least I know, no one fought for me.” He informed her seriously, walking away from the restaurant.Melanie was in tears, no matter how she tried to control herself, they kept on rolling down her cheeks.

As soon as his eyes locked with her, she felt ashamed, and embarrassed, and had the sudden urge to do what she came for."Jamal, please just let me." She whispered.He was so surprised because that was the last thing he expected from her, why was she doing this? And how come she came into his mansion, straight to his bedroom without getting any security alert?"You can't do this, Melanie. Do you want to regret it?" He grabbed her hand, stopping her from making any progress."I'm not going to regret anything, Jamal. I want this." She urged him sadly with her eyes. "If I don't do this, I might regret it for a lifetime." She added."Talk to me, what's the problem?" He asked, staring at her with concern permeating through his eyes."I told Dad everything he need to know about our relationship and that we have decided to get married soon, it's not happening anytime now."

He questioned in annoyance as he barged into Mr. Alcantara's office.Mr. Alcantara was on a phone call and reacted startled upon seeing him, he quickly ended the call and shot him a dirty look."What is the meaning of this, Jamal?!" Mr. Alcantara fired at him."I thought we made an agreement and you accepted to let her be with me, why did you send her away without my consent?!" He questioned him angrily."Is that why you barge into my office this early morning disrespectfully?!" Mr. Alcantara yelled in his face."Yes because I have never seen a businessman that lacks integrity. We already agreed and reached a conclusion, why did you breach that??"

He scratched his hair roughly, entering the bank with him.Dennis went ahead to call the attention of the manager so their need would be given a solution."How can I -" The manager stopped talking when he found him familiar. After all the news spreading here and there, the manager had learned to respect everyone and mind his awful behavior."You are still working here." He smirked."Yes sir." The manager bowed down. "How can I help you, sir?" The manager asked courteously."Yeah -" He narrowed his gaze to Dennis, signaling him to speak."Yesterday, we were informed by customer service in this bank that the fund in my boss's account is too much and has exceeded the account limit.

I won’t speak without my lawyer..” Madam Theresa angrily gritted her teeth.“Don’t bother your lawyer or waste your funds in the name of trying to blame him because there is enough evidence about the both of you.” The detective smirked.“We didn’t do anything!” Madam Felicia informed him vividly.“Then, how do you explain this?” The detective asked as he played the voice recordings and video records between Madam Theresa, Madam Felicia, and London but how ridiculous it was, the editor was able to cut out London’s voice and face which made it look like the main prime sus

    Jamal had to sit close to her to see it. “ I had my suspicions about this,” he said.“ I was on it and this just confirmed it, I will send this to the police” It was a video that contained the things he did to little girls that were brought to him. “ He can't escape this” Mitchell smiled at the laptop in front of her as she forwarded it to the police. “ Hey dude, thanks for this” Mitchell got herself a glass of wine. She was happy because that was the only thing left to find out. She figured that Reuben would be able to get it for her. He had kept that for the last fight against Sam. The flash that Paula had taken just had little of what he was doing. “ Glad I kept that safe,” Reuben smiled broadly. The door opened and Dave walked in. He went to Mitchell and kissed her passionately.“ Didn't see that coming” Reuben was shocked to see them that way. “ Get used to it dude” Dave replied to him.“ Getting a toast?

She charged at him. “ Where did you keep her?” “ This was all planned by the both of you, you saying you wanted to pee, and then I left her here, you two planned this” He left Mitchell there and went upstairs.

    She quickly told Dave about the man that had met her at the pack. It sounded surprising to him at first but was no longer funny when he remembered that someone was following Mitchell as well. “ Maybe it is just some coincidence,” he told Paula. Paula was not satisfied with it. She went to her bag and brought out the card he had given her. She called him up. When Richard saw her call, he smiled. “ Such an easy catch,” he said as he picked it up and answered. She wanted him to meet her up in a place, that same place. He teased her about missing him already. He got dressed and drove out of the house. He got to the place and saw that she had already gotten there, and even had a drink on the table.

She stood in front of the mirror as she dressed. “ You look great,” Dave said to her as she stepped out of her bedroom. “ Thank you” “ Why did you put so much effort into looking this good, going on a date?” He had fear in his heart that she was going to see a lover. “ Is that so? I do not want to appear like that, I will go change” She rushed into the room and had to change the way she styled her hair and had to also change her clothes. She came out in front of Dave. “ Is this okay?” She asked him. “ Yes, where to go?” “ To see someone” was all she said before she left the house. She entered her

    He had everything set. He looked so flashy and smelt of wealth. He smells good as well. He got into his car and drove to the expensive restaurant that was in town. He parked his car and got out. The ladies there blushed as they flashed his smiles. He waved at one of the girls, she could not believe that he was waving at her. She smiled broadly as she held her chest. He walked into the restaurant. He looked so good, his hair and the way his lips looked, soft and inviting. He entered and the attention he got was beautiful.

He walked to a table and pulled the chair. “ I wish I was the one he sat with,” one of the ladies at the opposite table said, she was loud enough to be heard. He kept his hands on the table, with his fingers making a tapping sound on the table.Mitchell raised her face and looked at him. He smiled at her. “ Thought you would never look at me or notice that I have been sitting down here” he smiled again. Mitch

    He drove back to the house feeling down and dejected. He could not explain why everything was beginning to turn against him. He got home and noticed that the domestic staff were not there. He called out to them but did not hear anyone answer. He went around his house and saw that no one was around. He called the security man at his gate and asked where his domestic staff had all gone. “ When I asked them, they answered that you asked them to leave, I had to let them go” He was angry, he slapped the gatekeeper. He went back inside the house and had to go to their rooms. He got there and saw that their belongings were no longer there.“ I never gave any order,” he screamed.

The door opened and Reuben walked in. He saw the bottle of drink with Sam, he rushed to Sam and took the drink a
