Even though his words seemed rather so enticing, Brad didn't know if he was supposed to trust him.Who knows, he might still be working for Fernandez. And until he found otherwise, he would always doubt him.Brad crouched in front of him. “Are there other members in this with you? Or should I say ‘with your father?”Tony shook his head briefly.“Good,” Brad smirked. “Because I don't need your help. Get lost!” He snapped, stood, and looked at one of his men. “If he doesn't want to leave easily, kick him out!” He ordered.“Boss!” Tony yelled. “Please, give me this last chance. I will not disappoint P-Bold. I promise!” He pleaded.Brad turned a deaf ear to him and walked inside.His phone was ringing when he got inside. He reached for it and realized it was Kevin. He picked it up immediately.“Hello, Kevin. I forgot to call you yesterday but I really did get back to her.”“Alright. Is everything alright with him?”“Yes. She was just occupied with the fundraiser event. Have you forgotten
Brad walked inside the room with Maxwell.Ryan stood up quickly, with a smile. “Boss!” He called softly.Brad reciprocated his smile. “How do you do?”Ryan released a sigh, amidst the smile. “I'm fine. My wife is good as well.”Brad nodded several times and went to sit. “I was worried when we couldn't find you yesterday. We thought Vicenzo had gotten hold of you because I saw him around the mall two days ago,” he explained.Ryan's heart shattered into a million pieces. The man in front of him was worried about him but he was still planning to do him bad.He has thought about it several times and this was the only solution he could arrive at.Ryan laughed. “I took my wife out of the city. She will be due in a few days,” he lied.Brad nodded once. “That's fine. But why do you want to see me?”Ryan cleared his throat and looked at Maxwell.Brad followed the path of his gaze and understood what he meant. He looked at Maxwell.“Step outside for a few minutes.”Maxwell regarded Ryan for a m
Brad walked to his car and drove out of the club.He felt too occupied. Maybe Maxwell was right but the more he thought about it, the more scared he got.If he sat still, his father might really die for real. He has just four days left to save his father.His phone rang suddenly. It was Ava. Brad let it ring. Maxwell has probably informed her what he intended to do.The phone stopped ringing only for it to start ringing again.Brad released a sigh and found the right spot to park. He picked up the phone.“3 Brad. Where are you? I'm in your house but Maria just informed me that you aren't at home. Where are you?”Brad sighed. “I'm on my way home. I will be there soon.”“Alright, I will be waiting,” she finished and the phone went off.Brad cupped his face in his palm for a moment in desperation. But he just couldn't bring himself to choose a different thing.He just couldn't watch his father die when there was something he could have done to help.He dragged his breath slowly and star
A soft knock sounded on Brad's door suddenly.“Yes, who is that?”“The package has arrived boss,” the voice explained.Brad nodded, moved to the door, and opened the door. He took the package from one of his men.It was finally the day he would be retrieving the antidote. And as he had promised, he was going alone.He sent a message to Nikolai that he needed the same injection that he gave him for Douglas. That will ensure that nothing goes wrong. Also, he has a gun with him. He doesn't know, its usefulness might arise.Brad darted at the wall clock. It was a few minutes to seven. His phone rang suddenly. It was Ava.He ignored it and hid the syringes on him.The phone stopped and started ringing again as Brad walked out of the room.As usual, Maria was waiting for him.“Boss, do you want me to prepare anything for you?”“No, you can go to bed,” he said on motion. He walked out of the house swiftly.His phone rang again. He released an exasperated sigh and got inside the car.On seco
Brad wrapped his finger around the trigger while fighting the inner desire to end Tony's life. He was the reason why his father was dying by the way.But he couldn't.He grunted aloud and pulled the gun away.Ava released a breath she didn't even know she was holding while Tony released a sigh of relief. He actually thought Brad was going to pull the trigger.“I'm sorry for everything I have done. I will continue to apologise for the rest of my life! But Damn! I know I was a fool but what would you have done if it was you? If you discover that the girl you love so much is the daughter of your enemy?”Brad calmed down. Instead of Linda breaking up with him, he discovered instead that she was the daughter of Fernandez, his father's worst enemy. What would he do?He didn't even want to think about it.“I made a mistake! And I was ready to die for it! If my father hadn't interrupted. I never caused all this to happen! Please!” He beseeched softly.Brad turned away. His head was reeling. H
Sophia stopped the Livestream and looked up at Brad. “I'm so happy. You can't believe Amazing Fighter joined my livestream just now and further made it known to people that he's going to show up,” she explained eagerly.“Well, he must be a man of his word.”Sophia smiled. “He really is. Do you care for a little liquor?”“Well, I need it.”Sophia pushed a bottle of vodka to him. He took it with a grateful heart. It was all he needed anyway.His phone started ringing all of a sudden. He pulled it out from his pocket and discovered it was Ryan.If it was all a plan, then maybe Ryan was in danger but Brad didn't want to bother himself about it. If Ryan really needed his help, he would tell him the truth.He didn't even want to think about anything except the fact that he just lost his father.Brad gulped down a large amount at once.Sophia regarded him for a moment, surprised.The phone stopped ringing, only for it to start again. “Why aren't you picking up?”Brad shook his head briefly.
The loud ringing tone woke Brad up the next day.He darted at the wall clock only to realize it was noon.When he got home last night, he still had some bottles and that was in fact the first time he would be getting drunk.The phone stopped ringing and Brad was quick to forget it ever rang. He got out of bed and looked at himself in the mirror. Except for the rough hair and the dark bags under his eyes, he still looked good. Not that it was a problem anyway.The phone rang again and Brad reached out for it. It was Ava. “Hello, Ava.”Ava cleared her throat meaningfully. “Good morning boss. Are you alright?”“Yes, I am,” he muttered.“Ok. I just want to let you know that Ryan came around yesterday and we had to retain him. We interrogated him and found out the truth,” she explained.Brad hesitated. “It was all planned, right?”“Yes, boss. Vicenzo wants you and he's supposed to exchange you with his wife.”Brad released a sigh. “Alright.”“But are you really alright? Do you want me to
“I can't believe this! I can't believe Amazing Fighter joined this,” Kevin said excitedly. He developed a special likeness for him after he had defended them on Sophia's Livestream.“It's unbelievable. Who would have thought? I mean I thought he loved being in the shadows.”Kevin shrugged slightly. “He might just be ready to come to the spotlight.”People who were familiar with Amazing Fighter whooped with delight.And then, comments came flying from different corners.“And it's currently at four million! What the fuck! ”“And we have just five more minutes left.”“I'm certain Amazing Fighter is going to win this.”The highest gifter changed suddenly and a majority of the students gasped.“The newest gifter has been snatched from Amazing Fighter,” one of the students said dejectedly.“Jason!” Some girls chorused at the same time. “Jason took it from Amazing Fighter!” Jason's team teased the other girls.The group was divided into two.“We have just two minutes before the end of this
