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
Sophia peered into the stage from behind and smiled when she saw Jason standing on the stage.She looked back at Tina. “Go in!”Tina had a huge smile on her face. “Is that true?”Sophia nodded several times, egging her on.Tina walked through the curtain.Sophia dusted her clothes. Mission half accomplished.Betty sniffed suddenly, her gaze searching around. “It's almost the end of the kissing box and Amazing Fighter hasn't shown up. Are you even certain he's coming?” She asked coldly.Sophia released a sigh. She was starting to worry as well. Jason arrived thirty minutes ago but there was still no trace of Amazing Fighter. She didn't know if she should be worried.A loud yell erupted from behind the stage, followed by some gasps.“He said he will be here. I don't know why he hasn't arrived. Maybe something happened,” Sophia explained.Her explanation fell on deaf ears.Betty hissed. “Tina and Cara have all gotten their choice of men except for me!”“I'm so sorry, Betty. I will call h
Her legs faltered and she was going down but Amazing Fighter was quick to catch her.Gasps came from the audience.Sophia hand touched his chest and she could swear that there were abs underneath the clothes he was wearing.Brad gently let her go after steadying her. However, he was shocked because he didn't expect to see her on stage, not even think she was the one he was going to kiss.After all, she said she wouldn't be participating.“Huh_” Sophia lost the words she wanted to say but she knew she had to say something before Amazing Fighter got a second meaning to why she was on stage.She did tell everyone that she wouldn't be participating. So, she needed to explain so he wouldn't misunderstand it.“I'm really sorry, Amazing fighter but_” she paused slightly. “It wasn't my intention to be on stage. I didn't want to participate. It was circumstances.”Brad saw when Cara pushed her in any way. Though, he knew that they didn't know he was the one on stage.But he felt somehow, think
Shock kept Ava speechless and motionless for a long time. She didn't believe that Brad was going to appear at the event at all. Even while they spoke concerning the new company, Brad said nothing about showing up. The car was actually the first thing that Ava saw. She knew instantly that it was Brad. After all, there were only two in the whole world. Ava couldn't describe how she really felt but she knew that she felt very bad and maybe jealous when she saw Brad kiss Sophia. But she knew that was wrong. It was wrong for her to fall for her boss, which was what she was trying to prevent. Her phone rang suddenly, jotting her out of her memory when nothing else could. It was her secretary. “Hello, Miss. Ava. I've seen someone that wants to sell his company,” he conveyed. Ava's mood brightened up. “Really? I hope it's not a company that belongs to Fernandez and his associates?” “It's not ma'am. I've confirmed everything. All there is to it is for you to meet and discuss the price
“Alright boss,” Maxwell responded and the line went.It didn't take up to five minutes when the message popped up on his phone.Brad hurried to the car and requested a direction.He started the ignition and drove over to where he saw the guys drive off.If truly Ned was the one that kidnapped Sophia. He was really going to kill him.“Turn left!” The machine-like voice directed.Brad complied. He pressed the accelerator so that the speed would increase.It didn't take a while when he saw the red car two cars away. It was definitely the car he saw a few minutes ago.And Brad pressed more on the accelerator, and almost hit a car by his right. He was quick to move away.“What are you driving? You fool!” The driver yelled out.Brad ignored him. His gaze moved slightly over to the traffic light. The car he was pursuing was almost at the traffic light.So, he reasoned that if he wasn't fast enough, he might have to stop because of the traffic light while the car he was pursuing would get awa
Brad released a sigh and moved to Sophia's side of the seat. He made sure she was comfortable and the belt seat was safely around her before he moved to the driver's side.If he knew that Ned didn't faint through the effect of his blows, he might have dealt with him even the more.But he couldn't wait and let it go like that. Ned was dangerous and besides, he would keep on being like that to Sophia if he didn't do anything.He couldn't even imagine that Sophia could have passed so much in her life. She moved herself so well that it's not easily noticeable that she has seen more of life.Brad closed the door and moved over to the other car. He hesitated briefly and looked over at the last man he spared. He was starting to wake up.He stirred briefly. He coughed and finally opened his eyes.Brad walked closer.He looked up at him and his eyes widened with shock. “P_please, just let me go,” he beseeched softly.Brad nodded once. “I plan on doing that but it's now up to you,” he muttered
Sophia coughed to clear her throat. “Brad?”Brad smiled at her. “Yes. How was your sleep?”Sophia hesitated briefly as if trying to remember something. “I don't remember seeing you. You were supposed to pick me up.”Brad nodded once and concentrated on the road.“So, what happened? Why are you here? How did I enter the car?” She paused slightly and her eyes widened with terror as her mind finally registered on something. “The kidnappers? They must be from Ned! Where are they?” She bombarded Brad and turned to fully look at him.She saw the smirk on Brad's face.Sophia drew an arching brow. “Did you beat them too?”“Oh no!” Brad said quickly. “Those guys are hefty, there's no way I could beat them. Besides, there were many.”Sophia's eyes thinned on him. “You did beat Fernandez's men some days back.”Brad laughed. “Maybe I did beat one of them but that was to even show how stubborn I am and well, to prepare myself before you would get back. If I wasn't like that, maybe I would have lan
Brad drove right home. He knew that Sophia was still bothered about Ned but he was going to find a way about it.He didn't want her to know how he wanted to interfere anyway.Besides, since Ned worked with Vicenzo and Brad wanted to destroy Fernandez and his associates, it was only right for him to destroy him.Fernandez wouldn't know what had touched him.His phone rang suddenly. It was Maxwell again. He ignored it at first and pulled into the garage.He parked properly before he picked up the phone. The phone went off, only for it to start ringing almost immediately again.“Hello boss.”“Yes Maxwell, is everything alright?”“Yes boss. Just that P-Bold members are arriving tomorrow as planned. According to tradition, the ceremony will start in New York and proceed to the other states that P-Bold has spread to,” he explained.Brad nodded once. “Alright, it's ok. I will be waiting for them.”“Alright boss, goodnight,” Maxwell said finally and the line went off.“Boss,” Nick said sudden
