The defilibrator and the vital machines made sounds as Maximus struggled to open his eyes.He had been bedridden for three days and he was slowly getting his consciousness.He sighed in relief when his eyes opened and they rolled around the room until they stopped on a stranger.“Who are you?” His brows furrowed, staring at the stranger with anxiety permeating from his eyes.“Who am I? You called me.” The stranger shrugged, also looking confused.“Called you?” He scoffed slightly.“I was at the brink of death and after then, I can't remember what happened next. I'm afraid you are in the wrong room.” He said, trying to sit upright and the stranger rushd to his corner and supported him to sit on the bed.“Maximus Prime… I'm sorry but I was sent for you. You are now my master and I'm under you.” He said steadily.“This is crazy.” He cussed under his breath.“I don't know you, please leave, else I will alert the nurse. You are disturbing me.” He said, controlling his breathing.He wanted t
Three phones were placed on the table, and around the table were Martha, Mr. Wayles, and Kaiden sitting on the chair. Kaiden sat beside Nina since she was his “wife”.Delicious delicacies had been perfectly placed on the table with wine but they hadn’t been able to devour it since Nina had been on one call or the other.Mr. Wayles and his wife had asked Kaiden to tell his wife about the meeting they must hold with her. She had been procrastinating to meet with them but fortunately, she spared some time to meet them but since they got there, aside from pleasantries, they haven't been able to discuss anything.“Oh? I will ask my secretary to check on it again before doing the third delivery. Thank you very much.” It seemed like she was ending the call.The call ran into a beep and she exhaled heavily, facing her in-laws whose faces had been clouded in annoyance and impatience.“I’m sorry about…” She trailed off as the phone on the table started ringing.She squeezed her face in apology b
Camera light flashed on his face with reporters asking his questions as Myles created paths for him to enter the long jeep.He had just finished his interview with the exclusive firm he had chosen, though it didn’t end up the way he wanted but he had left questions and suspense in the heart of the views and interviewees.“Boss, are you okay?” Myles asked a few minutes after the driver had started the engine.“Not bad.” He grumbled.“Have you fixed the mansion locks as I told you?” He asked.“Yeah, I did.” Myles exhaled heavily.“So, what’s my schedule for the day? I know I already missed a few.” He said, staring at Myles slightly.“You have a meeting at Chester Hotel and Suite with one of the top clients that wants to invest in the group.” Myles meticulously informed him.“Oh? I almost forgot about him.” He muttered, roughly scratching his hair.“You have at least an hour to prepare,” Myles added.“I’m fine. I can cool off while waiting for him at the hotel.” He suggested calmly.“That
“The police are investigating so you have to be honest with me else I can’t protect you.” the strange masked man threatened Tammy and Cross as he sat on the single couch with his legs crossed.He smoked the big cocaine as air escaped through his nostril. The room was dark with a dim light.“Did you have anything to do with that useless man’s accident?” The strange man asked them again with a cold voice.“We didn’t do anything.” They said, falling on their knees. The strange man laughed loudly.He had been working with them for years so he knew when they were lying and how to get them to confess.“Tammy, your sister is still missing. My men have news about her whereabouts but if you keep lying, I might ask them to stop all searches. You know what that means, right?” The strange man raised a scornful brow.Only his lips and eyes could be seen, the rest of his face was hidden.“Boss….!” Tammy cried out, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.“And you, Cross, with a snap of my fingers, yo
“What are you trying to do?” Kaiden looked at the waitress in shock as she bent down, showing her attractive thighs. He swallowed hard nervously.“Sir,” The waitress left what she was doing and stood before him, he was sitting on the bed.His eyes rolled over the waitress and inwardly, he wondered where a goddess came out from. She was busty, had a captivating size, and was pretty. Her breasts were the only thing that got him intoxicated no matter how hard he tried to shake it off from his head.“What do you want” He cleared his throat.“I saw you with a lady earlier but thankfully she isn’t here.” The waitress gradually approached him, pretentiously pulling down her shirt button so he could see her breasts and cleavage.“I asked what you want.” He half-yelled, controlling his emotion.He was a man and he knew being with her would only force him to do something he might regret. She was hot and attractive.“Can you satisfy me? I saw how those balls under you were rolling while you walke
“With the way the company is going, do you still think he is worth being the chairman of this company?” Mr. Wayles asked a few boards of directors who had fortunately attended the meeting he called planned.“Rather than asking us, how about you answer that yourself?” One of the board of directors said rhetorically.“Everyone, I’m not trying to make you change the decision you have already made or cause an uprising in the company.” Mr. Wayles said, trying to rattle out.“What do you mean? It’s exactly what you are doing.” Another shrugged.“What?” Mr. Wayles looked at them in confusion.He had been played by the game he started.“Mr. Wayles, it seems since you became a normal staff, you have been poorly informed.” One of the board of directors made a comment in mockery and the others laughed while nodding their head.Mr. Wayles was embarrassed, he secretly squeezed his trousers.“Have you thought of checking Max Tech Group stock or our monthly income stats?” Another asked him curtly and
Maximus folded his hands at his back as he paced around his office. He paused, rubbing his chin, and gulped the water but it still wasn’t able to keep him at ease, he started pacing again.He paused in front of the small panoramic window, staring at the bustling morning sight of the city. For a while, it soothed his heart but it wasn’t able to completely get rid of his worry.“Boss.” As soon as Myles stepped into his office, he faced him with anxiety permeating through his eyes.Myles had knocked but because he was deep thinking, he didn’t hear it.“Where have you been?” He asked him.“Have you forgotten you asked me to check on the suspect?” Myles tried to jog down his memory as he trailed off, and he nodded his head.“That’s true.” He exhaled shortly.“What's the update?” His statement followed.“The man is an ordinary man as he looked. I followed him for half a day and noticed he did menial work for a living. He didn’t do anything suspicious. He spends almost ten hours at his places
“What’s going on between you and your overbearing wife, Nina?” Martha asked her son in annoyance as she sat beside him on the armchair.It was evening and the only thing a jobless full-time housewife could do was watch Telemundo to forget about her sorrow.“I will appreciate it if you don’t mind yourself with my life from now on.” He snorted curtly.“Oh really? Then what could a newly married man be doing in his father’s house when his lonely wife is at home?” She questioned him in mockery and he sighed.“Mother, I don’t know what to do about Nina.” He frowned.“What do you mean?” Martha couldn’t be more excited, especially when there was an interested gist beside her.“I mean, she doesn’t want me to touch her and every time I try to act romantic, she gets annoyed and leaves the house.” He paused and faced his mother.“I can’t return home not because we would either get into a fight or I will be left to sleep on the cold bed, what’s the difference?” He raised an annoying brow.“Don’t t
