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
“I was about to leave, when you messaged me,” Sophia explained, with a smile on her face. Jason gave her a sultry look. “I only needed a few minutes actually. But you should be having fun at this moment.” Sophia shook her head briefly, with a building laugh. She shook her hand briefly at him. “Have you forgotten I have a fundraiser event tonight?” “Oh,” Jason recalled. “I'm so sorry, I forgot!” “Oh, mine! Jason! You better don't forget! I will really be sad if you don't show up. Many people are coming over because of you.” “Ugrh_” Jason grunted. “Alright, I will try but who will I be kissing? You?” Sophia hesitated briefly, wondering what would have made Jason utter such a statement. She overlooked it immediately anyway. “No, I won't be participating. I will be too occupied to even do that. And it's always at random. You can't choose who to kiss but you will know who you will be kissing when you get to the box,” she explained. Jason sighed with defeat. “Now I'm worried. If it's
Tina pushed the tray of food to Sophia. “You should eat.”Sophia nodded once and stared at what Tina got for her. It was a luxury.“But I can't decide who you kiss. It's against the rule,” Sophia explained and took a bottle of Cola. She sipped a little.Cara smiled. “Silly girl. What do you think we are paying you for? Isn't it to go against the rule? Besides, you are the founder. Would it really be something difficult for you? Just a little switch and we are done,” she uttered.“Don't mind her. She must think we are kidding.”“Or maybe the amount is too small. We will make it three million,” Tina reasoned.Sophia choked on the Cola she was drinking. “What! 3million?”“Yes, and we will make a transfer of one million now,” Betty said excitedly.“It's not?”Sophia was lost in the money. Three million dollars would go a long way for her. What was she even thinking? Any amount of money would help her at the moment. Though, she wanted to be fair and make it fun. But who was she kidding? T
It felt like Tony didn't hear him correctly.“You want to plan a company with me? Does that mean you've forgiven me?”Brad regarded him for a moment. “You still have to take your punishment.”Tony's smile broadened. “Thank you so much! Thank you, boss! I promise not to disappoint. In fact,” he stopped briefly and went on one knee. “I pledge my loyalty to you.”Brad smiled slightly. “Good. I will get back to you then. You are dismissed.”Tony bowed slightly and walked out of the house with a smile on his face. He was so glad that Brad had allowed him to stay.Because it was time for him to avenge his father. He was going to do all that he knew to make Fernandez fall, with Brad's help obviously.Brad went through the briefcase again, with total shock.He couldn't believe half of what he was seeing.He placed a call to Ava. She picked it up quickly like she had been expecting a call from him.“Hello, Brad.”“Tony just came to me with a briefcase that contains some secrets. I think I want
