Brad woke up to a loud noise coming from the living room. Brad stretched and looked at the wall clock. It was a few minutes after nine. He really woke up late.Well, last night. He barely got any sleep because of the situation on the ground. And well, he already plans to get used to it. Who knows how many more sleepless nights he was going to have?He needed to be ready by 6 that night as well and he wondered how long that would extend to.He washed his face and walked out of the room.David was the first person to look up. There was a huge smile on his face. "Brad! You are awake!"Brad smiled. "You guys seem happy this morning. Is something wrong?""You can't imagine this? Benjamin is sponsoring us all to Fundraiser," David announced. "I mean the clothing and everything. It won't be like the rest of the fundraisers we have ever attended. This is going to be different."Brad smiled, happy for them. "That's good."David's face fell suddenly. "I'm sorry, Brad. I've forgotten that you w
Brad's phone rang suddenly. It was Ava."Hello, Ava.""Hello boss, I'm in front of your house.""Alright," Brad muttered and hung up. His friends were out of the house to get food. He offered to stay behind with the excuse that he needed to start moving.He took a few bags and walked out of the house.A BMW car was parked outside. Brad moved closer and entered the passenger's seat.Ava started the car. "I didn't know when you left last night. I could have driven you home?""Well, I didn't want to bother you. I knew you would be the one to drive me to the new house today as well."Ava nodded once. "Alright. And I assure you that you are going to enjoy your stay in this new house. Besides, Maxwell already has your car in the garage. That aside, he has few men stationed in the house In case you need anything."Brad nodded once. "Thank you.""Should I stay around so we can go to the club together? It's almost time."Brad shook his head briefly. "I need to be somewhere. Let's meet later at
"It's him!" Liam yelled out suddenly. "It's the guy that beat us three days ago!" He announced, more to the ears of Douglas' men around.The men retreated slowly and stared at Brad. Well, Liam was yet to tell them about who Brad really was. They just knew he was clearly the one who dealt with all of them three nights before.Douglas' men turned towards whom they pointing at, amazed for a moment.Brad stepped forward. "You are here as well?""Retreat!" Liam announced again. "Now!" He yelled out the order, turned around, and made a run for it.Douglas' men could only stare behind them. One of the men moved closer to Brad. "Hey, man! What did they mean by three nights ago?""Yes!" The bouncer from earlier joined them. "Are you one of us?"Brad nodded once. "They actually tried to cause trouble at one of Fernandez's clubs and I intervened. That's all," he explained."Yes! Now I know you! I saw the video actually. It's all over the place!" The man said excitedly. "I'm glad to meet you," T
The men turned their attention towards Brad and for a second, Brad didn't know what to do."Is there a mistake somewhere?" The husky guy from earlier muttered. "This guy fought against Andrei's men from earlier. If he works for Andrei, he wouldn't," He argued."Well," Ryan shrugged slightly. "It was all planned.""What? Andrei's Ghostman is in my territory? How dare he?" Douglas yelled angrily. "Get him!" He ordered.The two men stationed in front of the curtain moved closer and pulled Brad up forcefully."Bring him over here," The order came again.The two men pulled Brad through the curtain.Douglas was standing now and he wasn't even covering his face.Brad was able to assess his features. He was a man in his forties with the wrinkles on his face.Douglas raised a brow. "Isn't he with the boy that was shot days ago? Ryan, are you sure he is really Andrei's Ghostman?" "Yes boss," Ryan responded."How did he get in, in the first place? How did he know our password? How did he have o
The men had to turn away from Brad and the rest as Maxwell's men hurried into the underground house.Everyone scattered as bullets hit everyone and everywhere.Brad attacked the man in front of him. He held him by the hand and pulled it back. The man let out a cry of agony. "Unlock the door," He ordered.The man nodded several times and unlocked the door with a card. Brad pushed the man inside and turned to Ava. "Enter!"Ava and Ryan hurried inside.The whole place was semi-dark. So, they couldn't see if there was truly someone in the room or not.The man stood up from where he was and switched on the light."Violet!" Ryan yelled in excitement and raced forward.Violet was sprawled on the floor, with her hand over her protruding stomach.Ava released a sigh and turned to Brad. "Boss, why didn't you inform me? Why didn't you keep me aware?"Brad smiled. "I'm sorry Ava but you were going to go against it. I wanted to save Ryan's wife before I killed Douglas.""But that was dangerous. An
Brad woke up to a knock at the door. He groaned and forced himself up."Yes, come in."The door opened and the maid walked inside. "Good morning boss. I just want to remind you that it's two hours before your first lecture. And it's a thirty-minute drive to school. The remaining one and a half hours should be for breakfast and getting ready," She explained.Brad regarded her for a moment. Maybe a maid wasn't such a bad idea. He slept off because of the event from last night. If it wasn't for the maid, he might be late for school."Thank you!"She smiled. "I will be around for your breakfast," She bowed slightly and stepped out.Brad smiled. Breakfast? He wouldn't need to buy food at restaurants unless he felt like it.He got prepared very fast. Within forty minutes, he walked out of his room clad in a hoodie and Jean trousers.Maria was at the dining table, with a smile on her face. "I have no idea what your favourite dishes are but I made something. I hope you like them," She finishe
"What are you saying? Poor?" Claire threw at Rose with shock written all over her face. "Well, he's currently working at Fast-tech which makes him the perfect match. He wouldn't cause you any issues. He would be very obedient. Besides, he's a loser." Claire was still skeptical. She had no idea what was really going on. Why was Rose saying that Brad was a loser? If Brad was a loser, then 99% of men in the world were losers as well. She turned to Brad with a cute frown. "Here is my cousin, Claire. You guys should get to know each other while I get Claire something to drink!" She smiled and walked away quickly. Brad looked at Claire. Her face was easily recognized because there was no way he would forget the lady who embarrassed him at Trust Financial Bank. Her face was etched in his head. "Claire, huh?" "Mr Harrier! I didn't expect to see you here. And I am so sorry for what my cousin said. She didn't know about you," she apologised truthfully. Brad scoffed. "Indeed. Claire's s
Brad still needed to stay clear. As a matter of fact, he had no idea who and who worked for Fernandez. He couldn't risk it.Rose cleared her throat meaningfully and dropped a tray of food.Claire smiled smugly. Her cousin was spending time with Brad without knowing his true identity. She believed that he was a loser.What an irony.Claire stared at the cake on the tray. "Where is the third plate of waffles?""Third plates?" Rose dismissed it. "I only got waffles for you and me. Is your friend coming over?""Come on!" Claire threw up. "How can you get two plates of waffles? Is Brad not going to eat?" She asked harshly.Rose felt triggered. "Claire, don't be rude! Not in front of him anyways," she warned.Claire ignored her remark and placed a plate of Waffles in front of Brad. "Brad, why don't you try that? Do you need something else so I can get it for you?""What!" Rose exclaimed softly. "And now, you are giving him what I got for you?"She shrugged briefly, thinking that Claire was
