“Richard and Anastasia, I will never forgive you for what you’ve done to me, for using me, for lying to me, and for slapping me in my face, I promise to give you a hard slap in future.” His statement rang in his head as he walked in the lonely street, returning home.
He was baffled as he didn’t know if he had done the right thing. “What are you doing here?” Mrs. Wayles and her son, Kaiden stopped him at the entrance. His father, who might have helped him was nowhere to be found.“Mum, I’m back.” He began. “I assume you were angry yesterday and I believe you have cooled off now, can I get in?” He ignored the arrogant look on Kaiden’s face while speaking with their mother.“Are you deaf?” Kaiden shoved his mother off and pushed him on his shoulder. “They warned you never to come back here, why did you come back?” Kaiden spat on his face.“Kaiden, please. We shouldn’t start on a rough path every time we meet.” He begged.“I hate you and I don’t want to see you. Now, leave this place!” Kaiden yelled in anger.“This is also my home, Kaiden.” He reminded him vividly.“It’s not your fucking home, you bastard!” Kaiden slapped him on his face, Mrs. Wayles didn’t interrupt them, rather a smile formed on her lips.“What?” He was astonished. “Are you all serious? You can’t chase me away at this point, where can I go?” He cried out.“Guards! Drive this freak of a man out of here and make sure you don’t let him in the next time he comes!” Kaiden instructed the guards seriously and they nodded, charging over to Maximus.“Let me go! Let me go!” He struggled from their grip until they finally pulled their hands away.“I know the way out.” He grunted, giving them a dirty look before leaving the mansion.“Mum, I thought you told the security not to let him in, how did this happen?” Kaiden questioned his mother in disgust.“I think your father has a hand in this.” Mrs. Wayles rubbed her chin.“My dad? What is he trying to do? Is he trying to use that brat against me?” Kaiden yelled in anger, his fist clenching.“I…” Mrs. Wayles began but paused when Kaiden started walking away. “Where are you going?” Mrs. Wayles questioned anxiously.“To meet with Dad.” That was Kaiden’s last word as he headed over to where the cars were packed.As he walked on the street, he got different comments from passersby and familiar friends but he didn’t care because something huge was coming his way.
He got a message that his application was approved and he was eligible to get the job he applied for which was worth millions of dollars, which was more important to him now.When he got to the CLEARANCE SECURITY firm, he saw a lot of people, dressed in suits and nicer outfits which was worth millions. He gradually looked at himself and inwardly, he knew his entire outfit wasn’t worth two hundred dollars.“What are you doing here?” A familiar voice called out, filled with laughter and his eyes rolled over to the direction.It was Anastasia and Richard. He rolled his eyes in disgust. “It’s none of your business.” He mumbled.“Don’t tell me you also came for this job man.” Richard laughed, dusting his shoulder. “Don’t run faster than your shadow, you ain’t worth working here.” Richard spat on his face with a hitch of mockery and sarcasm in his tone.“You have no right to dictate my life for me!” He gritted his teeth in anger before pushing his hands off.Soon, one of the staff in the company approached them. He seemed to be close with Richard as they shook hands.Anastasia showed off their relationship by kissing Richard and resting on his chest, this sight disgusted Maximus but he held himself.He was ashamed in their stead.“You must be Mr. Maximus.” The staff asked him and he nodded, raising a brow.“Yes.”“We received your application but we are sorry, you are not eligible for this job.” The staff said vividly, staring into his eyes that started rolling.“What?” He gasped. “But, I got a message from this company. They approved my contract and….” He tried to reach out for his phone, the trio laughed while the staff rested a hand on his shoulder.“Our system got hacked, I’m sorry that message wasn’t from us.” The staff explained to him.“What?” Without another word, the staff left, leaving Maximus in dismay. His jaw dropped.“You will never make it in life, Max. You only look pitiful, that was why I gave you a chance.” Anastasia laughed.“Bye man, I doubt if you have extra cash for transportation.” Richard shrugged, bringing out some dollar bill from his pocket. “Here.” As Maximus reluctantly tried to receive it, Richard intentionally dropped it.“Oh, I’m sorry, it fell off.” Richard laughed in mockery and Anastasia joined him as they left the company.“NO!” He yelled at the top of his voice, as his eyes became red.Why was his life miserable? He was human too, why was he being treated like a rag?“Father, please, can I meet you secretly in your office?” He said immediately the caller picked up the call. As he spoke on the phone, he left the company.“Sure.” Mr. Wayles' voice came out from the phone after a brief moment of silence.He arrived at his father’s multi-international company, which deals in producing electronics like phones and laptops, they are also developing hackers too.
He smiled happily as he strolled into the workspace, meeting his father alone meant he could apologize and beg for a second chance.But his jaw dropped when he saw Kaiden in his father's office.“Fa…father.” He stammered as he walked into the office, looking scared.He trusted his father, and he had hopes for his father but does this mean he could no longer trust anyone? His father used him!“You are here again….” Kaiden groaned.“I… I…” He stuttered.The two guards standing behind Kaiden kept on punching their palms.“I warned you to leave before he comes, didn’t I?” Mr. Wayles scoffed in annoyance.“But…” He began but was interrupted.“I will never let you leave here scout-free. I will give you a beating of your life.” Kaiden said angrily, in a frightening tone as he signaled the guards.Before Maximus could reach for the door, one of the guards held his shoulder so strongly, he couldn’t make another move.“Father!” He cried out but his father turned his back at him. Kaiden laughed, loving the show as another guard punched him in the face.His mouth bled.“Help!!” No matter how he shouted, the guards bounced on him, punching him and slapping him.As he tried to run away, his head crashed on the hard wall.“Argh!!” He groaned in pain as he fell.[Loading... 60%][Loading … 90%][New Host: Found!][Compatability: 100%][Tycoon System Activated]“What?” He didn’t know what was happening to him and the voice he was hearing. The last punch from the guard made him faint[System Accepted by User!]Everything faded.“What did you say?” He absentmindedly asked the voice that was talking to him in his head.“Mr. Maximus, are you okay?” The nurse who was with him asked politely as her eyes wandered in the room, they were the only ones there.“I… I’m fine.” He nodded skeptically and the nurse sighed.“You are fine now so you are free to leave.” The nurse informed him before leaving the room.[User has Successfully Accepted the Tycoon System] A robotic voice came up again, resonating in the room.“What? Tycoon system? Who are you?” He panicked and suddenly, a light flashed in his eyes and it developed a screen. He could see a computerized screen with a cursor for illustration through his eyes.“This is crazy.” He shook his head in disagreement.[Tycoon System will help you accomplish your task. For every mission, you would be given a reward and for every failure, you would be punished severely.] The robotic voice continued.“So?” He curled his lips, trying to understand what was happening.[You have a
“This is not a dream, is it?” He muttered to himself as he constantly washed his face on the toilet sink.“Five million dollars in just one mission?” He was still in disbelief. He gave a quick look around before taking out his phone from his pocket.“5,000…” He counted the numbers over and over again until someone pushed him roughly and his phone fell.“How dare you? Didn’t you see that I’m here?” He questioned, sounding annoyed.“Someone? When calling people, do you think you would be called?” The lady rolled her eyes in disgust.“Just take a look at yourself, do you look like someone who is living? You are nothing but a rag!” She washed her hands in the sink and cleaned her hands on his shirt.“You see?” She scoffed before stepping out of the bathroom.“What?” He looked at his stained shirt and back at the lady.“This is a big insult in my face. I don’t even know her yet she had already concluded who I was.” He muttered as he picked up his phone and walked out of the public bathroom
“He stole that money! That money is mine!” Mr. Wayles yelled in the precinct. “Believe me when I say he stole that money from me!” Mr. Wayles added seriously.Neglecting a proper investigation, it was obvious that Maximus was a thief. His class didn’t meet up with his family and he was looking like a poor rag who would do anything to level up.“Officer, believe me, I didn’t steal their money.” He began, ignoring the deadly glares from his family members.“I was chased out of the family house with nothing, not even a clothes or a penny! I don’t have access to their card or password to their phone, how can I transfer money?” He asked staring at their faces but the officers dint look interested in his explanation.“This money is mine whether you believe it or not.” He said with certainty.“You stole my husband’s money yet you still have the guts to speak!” Mrs. Wayles gave him a dirty slap and one of the officers stepped in.“Mrs. Wayes, I understand that you are annoyed but since he is
“YC… what?” He almost gasped but held his curiosity.“What do you mean? This scumbag is my son and I know what he can do!” Mr. Wayles spat, insisting that there had been a mishap somewhere.“Are we not missing something here or mixing his case with someone else? My useless brother can never make sure wealth in his entire life.” Kaiden adjourned seriously.“There is no mistake, take a look at it.” The Manager's hand was shaking as he gave Mr. Wayles another copy of Maximus' account statement.“This has to be a prank.” Mr. Wayles' jaw dropped.“I'm sorry but we have to grant his release immediately. And of course, Mr. Wayles will take charge of paying his bail.” The detective said, handing the documents to the officer.“What? I can't pay… his bail.” Mr. Wayles used the right word for the first time.“You have to pay his bail, first because you accused him of theft and also you created this case. We can't charge Mr. Maximus.” The officer explained to him meticulously as another officer f
“As long as this place is not a restricted area and a shopping mall for everyone, I have the right to come in and shop for whatever I want.” He shunned them immediately, looking annoyed.“Oh really?” Anastasia laughed, cuddling on Richard.Before him, they shared passionate deep kisses and hearty words.“Well, Madam. I would advise you not to sell anything for this poverty-derailed man, except if you want to sell on credit or have someone run away with your goods.” Anastasia yapped in disgust.“I won't let you try to ruin my name!” He said.“See who has a name!” Richard cursed. “You are nothing but an abandoned useless man who has no job or money. Ana is right, it's either you buy in credit or steal their product just like how you stole your father's money!” Richard added in disgust, obviously trying to piss him off.“I didn't steal my father's money! The case has already been resolved so don't share a half-baked rumor!” He defended himself.“Young man, please leave this mall before I

Thanks for banking with us and we hope to do business with you soon!]”“What does this mean?” His lips trembled as he was confused.Another message popped in again.“[Debit Alert: $1,000,000 Balance: $500.05]”“Jesus!!!” He screamed at the top of his lungs, forgetting he was on a public bus.“[KukuKuru Loan App: Dear User, your loan limit has been reduced to $200]”“No. No. No.” He didn't know if he should scream again or break his phone.“You bastard, go get a room and stop yelling at our faces!” The man sitting beside him scoffed in annoyance.He didn't bother to exchange words with him.“Why did I forget about this? How did this happen?” He bit his lips and quickly got off the bus.Eye
“What should I do?” He sighed heavily when he saw the amount in his account, it wasn’t up to a hundred dollars.He wondered how he could complete the system’s task, this was his last chance and the least he wanted was failure.“If I don’t have a house or laptop doesn’t mean I don’t have other motives.” He muttered to himself as he started walking to another street.The last card he had in his trouser pocket was just $15 and that alone couldn’t afford a ride.“Hey! What do you want?” He was about to enter the public cyber cafe when the owner stopped him before he could gain access.“Sir…” He trailed off.“I asked a question, what do you want?” The grumpy tall man made a comeback.“I… I want to make use of your computer for a job employment and test.” He lied, lowering his gaze.“This is not a shop for that. didn’t you see the banner?” The man scoffed, pointing the logo at him.“It’s a game shop, wrecker!” The man yelled at his face.“I know. The other cafes are full, I could only use y
“I’m not…”He didn’t know the right word to use because it was obvious that he was leaving.“Do I look like a fool to you?” The man grunted.“Thank goodness I prepared…” the man hadn’t finished his statement when Maximus snapped him out.“What!” The eye screen suddenly became visible.[CONGRATULATIONS, User has accomplished the mission!] The robotic voice came up.[+30% Cyber Knowledge Added! = +20% self-esteem Added! = +35% Popularity Added! = $100 million Added!]As the robotic voice spoke, the items dangled in his eyes with short illustrations.Surprisingly, he felt renewed.A small smile curled on his lips.“Are you insane, you are on the verge of being beaten up and you are smiling?” The man signaled the area thugs as they charged over to him.Soon, his phone beeped.He was reluctant to check and also didn’t want to get his hopes so high.“[Credit Alert: $1,000,000 Sender: TYS]” He reads.“What!!” He screamed like a bulldog who had gone insane. His eyes widened in shock with his ha
She kept struggling with the man. She had to hit him in the face before he left her alone, she ran to her car and got inside. She had to rush back to the house. She got home and met an empty house, not like she was expecting any magic to happen that would bring back Kaiden or something. She decided to stay at home and take the alcohol that was there. Max was in his office, his mind kept on going to the task that the system gave to him. “ There is no way that I am doing that, it is not going to be possible, I already asked Victoria to leave, I can not bring her back, I can not do that," He said to himself. He knew that he would get punished for this but he seemed not to care about it this time. He got an email on his laptop, he decided to check what it was, it was from Nina, she was pleading that she come back to work“ That is not happening" He closed his laptop. His father was in prison, he had just Kaiden at the company, working. He also had George and the others, like Robert
Sara got to the house and told Max what Kaiden had told her. Max raised his eyebrows, he was wondering how she handled the situation. “ What did you say to him?" He asked.“ I told him that it was not going to be possible, I have moved on from that and we shall remain workers only," she said.Max nodded his head and hoped that she was telling the truth because he would be so upset with her if he found out that she had gone back to Kaiden. He got into the sitting room, he looked around. “ She must be in her room," Sara said, smiling at him. “ Don't do that to me, how the hell did you know that I was looking for Silvia?” he asked."I do know, you do not bother yourself with anyone or anything in this house, so I know who you are looking for when you do that,” she said. Max went to his room, took his bath, got out of the bathroom, and carefully creamed his body, he took his time to do that. He had to pay attention to everything he was doing because of Silvia, he wanted to impress he
Nina kept thinking about who the second person was. She sat in her room, the only person that she ever told about what she wanted was just Kaiden and Richard. She stood up and went to Kaiden's room. She knocked on the door, he opened the door and saw her standing in front of them. “ Can you not sleep?" He asked her. “ No, not that, something is going on and I do not know who is behind this. I took Richard's advice and asked Myles to help me, but he went ahead and told Max about it and now he is trying to get me sacked” She looked sad. Kaiden opened the door wider so that she could get inside the room. " Why would Myles do that to you?” he asked. " Myles has so much loyalty for Max and that was what I had missed, but one thing that bothered me was he said two people already told him about me taking over the company. He said one of them is Myles and then the second person is who I am trying to know” she said. Kaiden was quiet for a while. “ Maybe it is Richard who told him abou
She walked into the office, she wanted to go meet Myles at that moment, but she saw that Myles was busy with what he was doing so she let him be. She got to her office and decided to be on her laptop till Myles was free to give her response, she could not wait to hear what he had to say and how they were going to go about it.Her secretary came to her office. “ Ma'am, Maximus Prime needs your attention in his office," He said. She waved her hands to dismiss him. He left. She stood up and arranged her dress. She checked and everything was perfect, then she went to Max's office. She got there and saw Myles also. All that was on her mind at that time was that Myles had done something and that was why she was called into the office, maybe Max had noticed something was wrong. “ You sent for me, Sir," She said as she smiled at Myles. Myles pretended like she was not there. “ I heard something, and I wish to confirm that from you, this will be the second time I will be hearing it and t
The door opened and she got into her office, she wanted to go meet with Myles but something else was going on in Max's office, and that made her not go, she needed to go meet Myles when he was alone so that it would not cause any disruption at all. She decided to wait for when he would be free so that she could talk to him about it. Myles was in the office, and they had an issue at hand, something was wrong with the server and they needed to fix it as quickly as possible, so that was what Myles was in Max's office trying to fix. The new product that Victoria brought was doing well in the market and they needed to keep their website active because of the many visitors that they were receiving. The door opened and Victoria walked in. Max did not want to see her at all, he was not in that mood, he even wanted to end her contract with them, she seemed like someone who was a dangerous person to him. “ I do not remember calling you here, hope you do know that," he said. “ I know that
Martha could not believe that her husband was on the news for the wrong reasons, he was arrested and it was shown in the news for everyone to see. She was so bitter that her husband was given a public humiliation, she quickly picked up her phone and called Kaiden.“Hey, have you seen the news? Your father is in the news, it is aired on the television, guess what is being aired? His arrest, your father has been reduced to nothing” She said. " Mom, calm down, let me check that out and call you back,” He said. " Call me back? I am coming there to meet you, we have to go do something about this” She ended the call even before Kaiden could ask her not to bother coming over to his house. She got dressed and headed for her car that was outside, she had already gotten into the car when she saw the guy that friended her, the one that brought her food to eat. She had to act normal. He walked close to her car. “ I have seen what is in the News already, what happened to him, what kind of thin
He could not tell Sara about it, he had to let it be like that. He went to his room and sat down, he got an email from Victoria. He read it and shook his head, this was getting interesting, he felt the two of them were trying to get at each other and they were using him to achieve that. “ You have to go to your room, you will take a good rest, do not leave your room tomorrow, take the day off,” He said to Sara. “ Okay, thank you, but I am comfortable here,” She said.Max let her stay there since she said she was comfortable there. He went back to his room and read the message again, he remembered what Nina had told him about Victoria. He sighed. “ These two ladies are trying to play some games with me,” He said. The next day, he got dressed and went to the office. “ Did Sara get my message?” Nina asked. “ Yes, successfully delivered” Max lies, he did not say a word about it to Sara. “ Good, at least she will know that I am the one in charge here and not her,” She said.Max wa
He went to his office, the minister had called the press himself, Max was not expecting that so it came as a surprise to him. The press was there, he also invited other Ministers as well. He got there, he was not expecting any of it, the cameras flashing their lights on her face, he knew that he would be in the news in no time. He was presented with an award first, and then the Ministers that were there began to send in funds for him. A huge amount was raised and it was paid into the MT Company account. “Thank you so much for this great honor, I am so glad to stand before all of you that are here, I never expected this and that is why I am so overwhelmed to experience this, thank you very much for your great support towards MT Company, I remain grateful, thank you,” he said to the Ministers that were present there, pictures were taken. “ Yes, this is the time I need to get that company, I can not believe that such a huge amount of money is in MT company, how can it be? This is a
The doctors had discharged her already, he was the one who carried her out of the hospital to the car, and they got inside the car. “ I'll go home from here,” Victoria said to him, he saw the way her face was but he brushed it aside. “All right, thank you,” He said. They went home, he carried Sara out of the car to the house, and he kept her on the chair. She opened her eyes. “ How do you feel?” He asked her. “ Better” She looked around the house like she was searching for someone. “ Are you Okay?” He saw the way that she kept acting. “ There was a man that came close to me,” She said. “What man was that?” Max sat upright. “ He came to me and asked me my name, he was talking but I was not hearing what he was saying, I was feeling dizzy. I then felt his hands on my nose then I passed out, you did not see the guy?” She asked. “ No, what happened was that people gathered and one of the guards came to carry you from there, we drove to the hospital, and I did not see any guy aro
