As much as Brad was shocked, he let her stay. Since she needed it, there was no point in being resistant.

But one shocking thing was how Sophia knew Vincenzo. That wasn't enough, it looked like he was the one making her scared. What could Vincenzo have done to her?

What could have happened?

However, he still had to think of the reason why Vincenzo would be at the mall at that time with Douglas' men. Something was definitely going on.

Sophia pulled back suddenly and started walking towards the car.

"Sophia!" He called after her but she didn't respond.

Brad turned around and realised that Vincenzo was gone. He pulled out his second phone and dialed Maxwell's number.

He picked it up after the second ring. "Hello, boss."

"I just saw Vincenzo and Douglas' men around the mall. Find out what's happening."

"Yes, boss. I will get back to you as fast as I can," He assured before the line went off.

He picked the two masks he had selected earlier. "Can you get me two dozen of these each?"

    Brad flagged down a taxi and entered. On the way home, he couldn't stop thinking about Sophia. He eventually concluded that there would be a better time to ask her.When he got home, Maria was waiting at the door with a smile on her face."Welcome, boss," she muttered. "I made beef lasagna. Will you take a shower before or after eating?"Brad smiled softly. "Go to bed, Maria. I will handle the rest. Thank you."Maria shook her head briefly. "I'm supposed to sleep when you are fully settled," she protested softly."It's ok, Maria. I got this. So, you can go to bed," he assured.Maria bowed slightly and walked inside.Brad settled to eat before he went in for a quick bath. His phone rang suddenly. It was Ava."Hello, boss.""How are you doing, Ava?""Fine boss. I wasn't able to see you earlier today. I didn't know yesterday was your birthday but I got you a gift."Brad smiled. "Thank you, Ava. I had to leave school earlier because my friends and I wanted to go to the mall.""Oh, alri

    Brad walked out of the company before the security guards would come. He actually commended them for wanting to be swift with work, but they were being unfair.Anyway, Brad didn't have to think of it.He dialed Ava's phone immediately. The phone rang twice, but she didn't pick it up.Brad gave up instantly. Maybe she was having a lecture.Just as Brad entered the car, his phone rang. It was Ava. He picked it up."Hello, boss. I'm so sorry. There's an ongoing class," She explained.Brad nodded once. " I suspected that, though. Anyways, I just wanted to tell you that I have just been fired.""Fire? Absolutely not!" Ava laughed. "Where are you now, though?""At the garage.""OK, just give me a few minutes, boss. Someone will be there for you. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience, boss.""No problem, Ava. I totally understand," he finished up and hung up.It didn't take up to ten minutes when a man showed up in the garage. The man was tall and built. Even though he seemed to be in his t

    Angelina couldn't talk."Felix, what's this small boy you can't handle?" The second man muttered angrily and advanced closer.Brad waited for him to launch his attack. He however watched him quietly and judged the kind of attack he was going to make by his composure.When he finally launched a punch, Brad caught it midway like it was nothing and gave him an uppercut.The man staggered back. What!"Fun is over. I think you two should get to work. You will be the one to arrange the files. How come you even have so many files and documents on the floor?"No answer."Or should we continue?" Brad raised a frightened brow and waited.The men rushed to pick up the files in pain. The other guy was pushed aside in the process.Brad looked at the guy. "I think you should stop arranging it. What department are you by the way?"The guy looked up at Brad. "My name is Jude, I'm one of the office attendants. I resumed two days ago."Brad was shocked.

You don't even need to wait for me. You can go to bed.""Alright boss," Maria responded, bowed, and walked away.It was a few minutes to five when Brad pulled out into the street.His phone beeped suddenly, just as he was about to ring Sophia. It was Sophia's home address.His phone rang suddenly. At first, he thought it was Sophia. Perhaps she wanted to confirm if she got the message or not.But when he glanced at the screen, he saw that it was Maxwell."Hello Maxwell. Have you seen Ryan?"There was a hesitation. "Not yet. Ryan is currently nowhere to be but my men are at every corner of the city. We will soon get in touch with him," he assured. "Meanwhile, that was not the reason why I called.""Is everything alright?""Yes actually. It's just that Willi

    Brad stepped forward. "Why are you accosting the young girl?"Sophia shook her head briefly and Brad saw a flicker of fear in her eyes. "Leave! Don't meddle in this!" She warned.Her voice was cold but Brad chose to ignore it."I won't leave. We came here together. If you are leaving, then we will leave together," he said stubbornly.The man laughed. "Young boy, why don't you just listen to her and leave? You will do yourself a lot by doing that. Besides, this is not a matter you can meddle in."Brad scoffed. "Did I just hear the buzzing of the bee?"Sophia's eyes widened with shock but she couldn't talk."I came with Sophia and she's leaving with me," Brad said firmly.The man's gaze searched around for a moment. "Who is Sophia?" He feigned a shock. "Wait a moment, is that you, beauty?" He laughed. "You didn't tell me you changed name.""I didn't change my name, Ned. Sophia is my other name. Besides, it is me you want. So, let Brad go.""I'm not going anywhere Sophia, not without you

    "Brad stopped suddenly when he realized that Ned wasn't moving.The crowds have gathered now but no one made a move to rescue Ned. Well, they were around too when Ned's men were harassing Sophia. It was as if they were scared of Ned.He knew he shouldn't have gone to that extent but he couldn't help it. How dare he insult Sophia in such a way. In fact, he deserved to die but Brad wasn't going to kill him, not yet.He got off him and moved to the car. At first, when he didn't hear any sound from the car, fear gripped him and he thought Sophia left.He released a sigh of relief when he opened the door and saw Sophia.Sophia's head was bowed and she was still clutching the ruined clothes to herself.Brad started the ignition and drove out of the place while keeping his eyes out for any boutique around.He spotted one and pulled to a stop. He glanced at Sophia and realized that she was still in the same position that she was a few minutes ago. He wondered what was going through her mind.

    Brad waited outside while Sophia changed her clothes in the car.Sophia knocked slightly and Brad got inside the driver's side. "That's comfy enough, right?"Sophia nodded once. "Thank you. Are you not changing? You are soaked as well.""I'm not as soaked as you are. So, I will be fine. Do you feel better now?"Sophia nodded once and released a sigh. "Thank you but I think you shouldn't have meddled with Ned.""Well, I'm not afraid of them.""You should. They are all wicked men."Brad regarded Sophia. "The man mentioned Vincenzo. You also tensed when you saw him at the mall. That aside, you do check your expression whenever you hear his name. What could have happened between you two?"Sophia looked at him. "You know Vincenzo?"Brad smiled. "Who wouldn't? The majority of people know him as Douglas hand man."Sophia regarded him for a long time. "You said you wouldn't judge me with my past but you are making inquiries about them," she attacked.Brad released a sigh. "I'm sorry if that

    What! Shock kept Brad motionless and speechless for a while.He pulled Sophia backward slightly to look her in the face. "What did you just say?""Not many people know. I got to find out too during my stay with him. That's why I can't report it to the police. All I have to do now is to avoid him. Hopefully, the bad days are over," she muttered and forced a strained smile to her lips.Brad reciprocated her smile. "Yes, exactly what we should do but well, Ned deserves what I did to him.""Goodnight," she whispered and walked away.Brad watched her till she entered the house before he turned around. He entered the car and placed a call to Maxwell.He didn't pick up, even after the second ring. So, he sent a message to him.."Where is he?" Vincenzo muttered and took a cup of wine from the table."He's in the garage," one of the men standing by the door responded. There were five of them with their head bowed."Bring him in," he ordered and turned away. "Has my father replied?""Not yet b

    Everyone was shocked.There was no way it would be Brad. Brad was poor and Amazing Fighter was right. It was two different personalities.“What! Brad is Amazing Fighter?” Kelvin asked, even more surprised.David couldn't talk. Shock kept him motionless and speechless for a long time.“No! No way!” Someone said suddenly amidst the silence. “Brad can never be Amazing Fighter. It's not possible!”“Yes, it's not!” Someone else chimed in. “There's a mistake somewhere!”And soon, everyone was already shouting about it.Suddenly, their phones beeped. They all stopped what they were doing and started pulling out their phones.It was a notification from Amazing Fighter. He just uploaded his picture.Everyone clicked on it and the picture that showed up on their screen made them shocked for another minute. It was still Brad.“Wait, are you saying that Brad pretended to be poor? And that was why Amazing Fighter has been hiding? Because we would have known it was Brad if he had shown his face ear

    Brad pulled into the parking lot while Sophia was on a call.“Alright,” Sophia hung up and looked at Brad. “I have to go see my friends,” she announced, with a smile.Brad nodded once. “I will pick you up later then.”Sophia reciprocated his smile and proceeded to open the door. She stopped and turned to Brad again. “There's actually something I want to tell you.”Brad gave her full attention. “Yes, what's it about?”“Well, the thing is I won the princess of the year due to Amazing Fighter help. So, I didn't want you to think I kept it away from you when you heard the announcement,” she explained.Brad smiled. He already knew anyway. But he appreciates her talking.“I knew you would get it actually. You are the best candidate for you.”Sophia smiled again, feeling impressed with herself. She leaned forward and captured Brad's lips in a quick kiss.Then, she rushed out without waiting for him to talk.Brad was shocked because he didn't expect her to kiss him, especially since he didn'

    Sophia hummed as she went about with getting ready for school. She was so happy that everything was over. She was even overjoyed that Brad was picking her up. She loved to be around him. If it wasn't for the fact that it would look even weirder, she could have concluded that she had feelings for him.But she didn't want that to disrupt their friendship. So, she was going to push it to the back of her mind.She got herself a black short gown that accentuated her curves. She was going to be proclaimed the princess of the year anyway, so she needed to dress very well.Aside, she wanted Brad to notice how beautiful she looked.If not anything, he should at least acknowledge her. She loved it whenever he did.Within less than an hour, she was already applying makeup on her face.She picked up her phone when she was done and dialled Brad’s number. He picked it up immediately.“Hello, Sophia.”“I'm ready actually. You can come over now.”“Alright,” It felt like Brad smiled. “I will be ther

    Sophia entered the room, with a big smile on her face. She has never felt so happy since all her born days. To even say she would be alive that day to see all the good news was an understatement.But she was happy and that was all that matters. Really!Exam is over! And she would soon be a graduate. What a nice day! Besides, all her problems were gone. Ned was gone, Vincenzo left already.Though, she was still bothered. He could come back but she wouldn't be in the city by then. Sophia would have been done with everything. She has a lot of money now and she could even continue as a creator. She has a lot of fans already.There just was nothing else she was supposed to be bothered about. Everything was good now!“No, don't eat like that!” Her mother was softly correcting little Lancelot.Sophia regarded them for a moment and the smile on her face got even wider.“No_ eat!” He murmured.The doctors said it was normal since Lancelot hasn't even spoken for so long. Even Though he still ha

    Some students walked out of the exam hall, stretching. "Damn, those questions were a shock!" One of the students said while the other clapped him on the back, laughing. "What will be will be." Brad, David and Kevin also stepped out of the exam hall, their writing materials in their hands. They had smiles on their faces and you could easily tell that the exam was turned out well for them.Rose also stepped out alone the moment Brad and his friends came out. When she saw them, she couldn't help but stare at Brad longer than usual, wondering, "could it be true ?"Ever since Cliare told her, she had been wondering, thinking non stop about it. She kept wondering if this random looking guy can really be as rich as Claire had told her. Gosh. He doesn't even look it."Rise?"one of Rose's colleagues called but she didn't hear she was too absorbed inher thoughts about Brad and his wealth."Is that Brad you're staring at?" Her friend got infront of her face and laughed..Rise fkushed and sta

    Rose quickly freshened up, changed into more casual wear, and headed for Rose's school.In a few minutes, she was at the school. It felt weird being in a school she wasn't schooled in. She almost felt like a mom.She laughed at her silliness and proceeded into the school. She had no idea where she would find either Brad or Rose but she kept going anyway. She was determined to meet with them, in fact, she would like to meet with both of them and have a serious talk with them.As she entered a hallway in the school, her eyes scanned the bunch of students who were rushing out of a class, and her gaze easily fell on Rose. Almost immediately, she spotted her too. With a big smile, she waved at her and Rose just rolled her eyes. She muttered something to the two girls she was walking with and sashayed her hips toward her."Now what are you doing here? I said I want you out of my life!" Rose greeted Claire hotly.Claire smiled and playfully nudged Rose on her shoulders, "Relax, cousin. Come

    "But how do I make someone who hates my guts, my friend? I can't even get myself acquainted with him talkless of making him my friend," Gary said angrily."But- " Gary hesitated, still thinking about all she had. Found out and all that Dylan just explained to him. He was still confused as to how all of these were possible.His brows creased as he looked at Dylan, "If what you're saying is all true then Brad Harrier isn't just a rich man…" he trailed off and paused, " He is actually the head, " he broke off again, his sentences coming out distorted. His heart beats quickened as he started to grasp the real situation he was in, "That means Brad Harrier is a mafia lord," his heart skipped a beat, "one that had the power and had every legal right to take my life if he felt the need and the government would do nothing about it?"Dylan nodded tentatively, feeling sorry for his friend."Holy shit!" Gary had thought the walk calmed his nerves and made it easier for him to think straight but i

    Gary was just reaching the restaurant at the same time Dylan arrived too. He shook his head as Dylan suddenly stopped walking and squinted at him.As Dylan approached the restaurant, he scanned the area of Gary's car but couldn't find it. He's late? He wondered, surprised, Claire was never late to their meet up here since he always came with his car. His thoughts trailed off when he saw someone who looked like his friend in the distance, hands buried in his pockets as she swaggered toward the entrance of the restaurant, his gaze already on him.At first, Dylan squinted at him, not believing his eyes. Gary shook his head as Dylan wouldn't stop staring. Then he left him outside and went inside the restaurant. Almost immediately, Dylan joined him across the table."Bro! Did you just trek?"Gary shrugged, "I told you I needed to clear my head, didn't I?""Wow. This is new," Dylan muttered to himself. He was about to start throwing questions at Gary when the waiter arrived and Gary immed

    "Hey man," Gary literally sighed in his response after he answered the call."Man," the caller, Dylan, drawled. "You don't sound good, "What's up? How far have you gone with the search for your man? Did the chick tell you who he is?"Since Dylan was the one who arranged the men he used to get Claire, he knew about it.On a normal day when Gary was his normal self, if he had been asked so many questions at once, he would have lashed out at whoever dared to try it but this time, he didn't. He only knew his friend was talking, he couldn't process his excessive words."Man, I need to talk," he pinched the space between his forehead, squeezed his eyes shut, and opened it again. "I need to clear my head." "Are you okay, Gary?" Dylan asked worried."I might lose my job soon, I can't be fine," he answered Dylan's irritating question. "What do you say we meet at the usual restaurant in…" he trailed off and his gaze slid to his desktop screen to check the time. "I'm about an hour?"Dylan had
