Brad followed Nick into the room.Ryan was tied against a chair. He had bruises all over his face.Brad studied him for a moment before he stepped closer, with Nick beside him.“Ryan,” he called softly.Ryan raised his head slowly and looked at him. A smirk appeared on his face.“Are you going to kill me?”Brad sighed. “Why did you not tell me that Vincenzo was threatening you?”Ryan huffed and coughed out blood. “There was nothing I could do. It was either my wife or your life.”“And you think you could take my life?”Brad scoffed. “I will give you the last chance, Ryan. I will not kill you if you tell me everything you know about Vincenzo.”Ryan looked away. “I'm not interested in any more deals. My wife is dead already, what am I still doing in the world,” he said, his voice soft and full of emotions.“Well,” Brad started suddenly and went around him slowly. “Consider yourself lucky that I'm giving you this second chance. Do you think Vincenzo will let you go?”“I know he wouldn't.
“Be careful!” Ned yelled in anger.The nurse hesitated, a soft expression on her face. “I'm so sorry. But this will make the scar disappear very fast,” she explained.Ned regarded her for a moment. “Go on then.”The nurse nodded once, then proceeded with what she was initially doing. Ned was angry and he didn't bother to conceal it. If he couldn't get his hand on the man who beat him to how he was, then Beauty would pay for it.After all, if he had not pretended to have fainted, the man might not have let him go. And the thought of it made him feel so angry.The door opened suddenly and two men walked inside. “Boss,” he called with urgency to his voice.Ned looked up and realised one of them was one of the guys he sent out to get Beauty. He jerked up, anxiously.He couldn't wait to lay his hands on Beauty. He has missed him anyway.“Where is Beauty?”The man shook his head briefly. “We weren't able to,” he murmured.What? Ned couldn't have any of it.He looked at the nurse. “You are
“What was that all about?” Rose asked as they walked into the dining room.“Felicia wanted to have me on her Livestream by afternoon.”Rose gasped.“That aside, I have tons of streamrollers messaging me. Even Betty.”“Even Betty?” Rose was shocked. “I can't believe this! Girl! You are now a star! You will now roll with the big girls and guys in all the universities in this city. It's not going to take long when you will be able to afford this kind of place in your house. And I seriously can't wait for that to happen.”Sophia smiled. Happiness flooded into her heart. “I'm still in shock, Rose. Who would have thought I would make it happen so fast? This was why I didn't join StreamRoll in my freshman year,” she explained.“Yes, you were so scared. That was why you waited till your last year in school. In a couple of months now, everyone will be out of school.”Sophia let out a sigh. Rose didn't know anything. She had a lot of things she was worried about.“Anyways, I'm so happy for you
The phone went off and Sophia whooped in delight. She just couldn't contain the happiness in her.Sophia rushed over to the dining room again. “Rose! You can't believe what just happened?”Rose saw her happy expression and smiled as well. “It has to be good news because you are so happy.”“Of course I am. The p-Bold president is going to sponsor my brother's treatment,” she announced.“Oh my! That's really good news but,” she hesitated briefly. “How did he know your brother to the extent of helping you?”Sophia became sober.“Well, he now owns the hospital where my brother had been admitted to. So, he selected five people anonymously. Go, I'm so lucky!”“Wow! Does that mean he's back in New York?”“Did he leave before?”“Well, there wasn't anything to show he was in New York then but what am I saying? His father is dead. So, he will definitely return.”What! Sophia was shocked. She has been so busy that she didn't even know the latest news.“Andrei is dead?”Rose nodded once. “And his
A soft knock sounded on the door.“Yes, who is there?”“Ava,” the soft voice said suddenly. Brad released a sigh. He already had a quick shower but when he passed by the library, he couldn't help but enter it.He saw in fact that his father loved reading. His father used to be a linguist. That was his desired profession. The company was passed down to him from his father.“You can enter.”The door opened and Ava walked inside.“It's time, boss,” she reminded him.Earlier, Maxwell had called to inform him that the members were in New York already. They needed to talk and so Brad made them lodge at Outback Steakhouse, in his VIP room.Maxwell didn't want them to come over to his place, especially because Andrei's home is so spacious. No one should know that the president resides in the estate just yet.Brad nodded once. “Then we will move,” he muttered and proceeded to drop the book with him. “Have you settled Sophia's brother?”“Yes, I did as you told me. I made it look like she was o
“What the heck is going on here?” The man shivered. His eyes bulge out. He knew how powerful Maxwell was. If he could bow to someone like Brad, then he was in fact someone he should have respected even more.He rushed to Brad instantly. “Is there anything you would like me to get for you?” His voice quivered.Ann's gaze flicked from Brad, to Maxwell, then to the man.“Arthur, what are you doing? What is happening?”Arthur turned to look at Ann, with an angry expression on his face. “Don't you dare say my name!” He thundered. “I thought you said he's a poor man? How dare you let me humiliate him?”Ann was too confused to respond immediately. “But_”“I'm sorry Maxwell,” Arthur interrupted her sharply. “I'm really sorry for not recognizing you earlier.”“You should be talking to him and not me!” Maxwell responded harshly. His anger was as hot as a funnel.Arthur turned to Brad. “Please, forgive me for the disrespect. I'm sorry for not recognizing you. It's this girl! She pushed me. She'
Brad watched Ann dash off before he turned to the members. “Let's go in,” he muttered, walked past the members, and entered the suite.The members followed behind swiftly.“I'm so sorry for your father,” Lawrence started suddenly. He has a soft expression on his face. “Well, Andrei's death is a loss to every member of P-Bold.”Every member nodded in agreement.“But we know that you will be more pained because he's your father. We are really sorry about that.”Brad nodded once. “Thank you, Lawrence. I really appreciate everyone as well. So, what are the preparations?”“Well,” Morgan cleared his throat meaningfully. “According to the rules, we are awarding three days for your father. Within these three days, there will be no work. Which means that none of the companies will open.”“Yes. Also, your father will be buried in Italy. So, we will move him from Russia to Italy. And the final celebration will be in New York.”Brad nodded once. “I will add two days to it. And it will take effect
Brad nodded once.They stepped inside the crowded club. There were several people on stage, dancing.Brad's gaze searched around briefly.Nick moved closer. “Boss,” he called softly. “Ryan is waiting for you.”Tony stared at Nick with confusion written all over him but he didn't say anything.“Lead the way,” Brad ordered.Nick nodded once, turned away, and started to walk away.Brad and Tony followed him. Ryan stopped in front of a door, opened it, and stepped aside for them to enter. He followed them instantly.Ryan was sitting beside a young guy of his age. They stood on seeing Brad and Tony enter.Brad hesitated, as he regarded the new guy for a moment. The guy had a dark frown on.“Is he the ghost man?” The guy asked.Ryan nodded once, too sad to even utter any more words. His face looked like terror.The guy took several steps closer to Brad. “Avenge my sister for me and I will do everything you want,” he promised. His voice was thick with emotion. Brad couldn't tell if he was pr
