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
Brad had finished eating when the door opened suddenly and Nick walked inside. He bowed slightly. “Good morning boss. I've finished your assignment,” he announced. Brad looked up at him. “The four men are ready?” Nick nodded once. “Yes, boss. They are. Also, someone from Master Maxwell is here. He brought someone.” Brad thought about it for a moment. “Oh, that should be Ryan. Where is he now?” “He's in the car. He's currently unconscious.” Brad nodded once. “Take him to one of the rooms and have him under guard. I will inform you otherwise. Assemble the men outside, I will be out in a jiffy,” he muttered. Nick bowed softly and stepped out of the house. Brad moved to the files that Ava had left on the table. It contained not only the new company building but also the hospital files. Brad picked the hospital files up and flipped through the pages. He still needed enough time to be able to get on track with all his company which reminds him that he would resume Fast Tech very so
Sophia sat in the corner and cried her eyes out. Her heart felt very heavy. She should be happy actually because her brother's payment was finally completed, thanks to Amazing Fighter.But Sophia couldn't stop the tears from streaming down. The fact that she suffered so much because of Lancelot, not adding up to the embarrassment and all sorts of treatment she was subjected to because of him.And to think she was finally able to gather so much money after so long. Even though she had not a dime left on her, she was grateful.At least, her brother would be getting up. That was the best happiness she had ever felt.She wiped off her tears and stood. She might have to go to the bank later the day it the second day but she was prepared to go to Rose's house.She dusted an invisible speck of dirt off her clothes, took her luggage, and walked towards the front door.She hesitated briefly and took a last look around the room. She had no idea when she was going to return. Not soon anyways.Sh
Rose was so happy to hear that.“Come then. Let's get you settled down,” she announced and helped Sophia with one of her bags.They entered the well-furnished living room. Every room was spacious enough to be owned by a family but due to the fact that Rose's parent had enough, they were able to afford it for her alone.“Come! Tell me everything!” Rose said suddenly, jerking Sophia out of her scrutiny.Sophia looked up at her, lost for a moment. “Yes, what did you say?”Rose barely noticed the expression. There was still a smile on her face. “Come, you have to tell me everything about the kiss!” She said excitedly.Sophia released a relieved sigh. “Such but you need to do a slight favour for me. I need to send some money into my mother's account,” she begged and hesitated briefly, remembering that Amazing Fighter faced her a cheque.Her face fell. She would need to go to the bank to withdraw the money.“Don't you worry, what is the amount, I will transfer it,” she assured.“I'm not say
Brad followed Nick into the room.Ryan was tied against a chair. He had bruises all over his face.Brad studied him for a moment before he stepped closer, with Nick beside him.“Ryan,” he called softly.Ryan raised his head slowly and looked at him. A smirk appeared on his face.“Are you going to kill me?”Brad sighed. “Why did you not tell me that Vincenzo was threatening you?”Ryan huffed and coughed out blood. “There was nothing I could do. It was either my wife or your life.”“And you think you could take my life?”Brad scoffed. “I will give you the last chance, Ryan. I will not kill you if you tell me everything you know about Vincenzo.”Ryan looked away. “I'm not interested in any more deals. My wife is dead already, what am I still doing in the world,” he said, his voice soft and full of emotions.“Well,” Brad started suddenly and went around him slowly. “Consider yourself lucky that I'm giving you this second chance. Do you think Vincenzo will let you go?”“I know he wouldn't.
“Be careful!” Ned yelled in anger.The nurse hesitated, a soft expression on her face. “I'm so sorry. But this will make the scar disappear very fast,” she explained.Ned regarded her for a moment. “Go on then.”The nurse nodded once, then proceeded with what she was initially doing. Ned was angry and he didn't bother to conceal it. If he couldn't get his hand on the man who beat him to how he was, then Beauty would pay for it.After all, if he had not pretended to have fainted, the man might not have let him go. And the thought of it made him feel so angry.The door opened suddenly and two men walked inside. “Boss,” he called with urgency to his voice.Ned looked up and realised one of them was one of the guys he sent out to get Beauty. He jerked up, anxiously.He couldn't wait to lay his hands on Beauty. He has missed him anyway.“Where is Beauty?”The man shook his head briefly. “We weren't able to,” he murmured.What? Ned couldn't have any of it.He looked at the nurse. “You are
“What was that all about?” Rose asked as they walked into the dining room.“Felicia wanted to have me on her Livestream by afternoon.”Rose gasped.“That aside, I have tons of streamrollers messaging me. Even Betty.”“Even Betty?” Rose was shocked. “I can't believe this! Girl! You are now a star! You will now roll with the big girls and guys in all the universities in this city. It's not going to take long when you will be able to afford this kind of place in your house. And I seriously can't wait for that to happen.”Sophia smiled. Happiness flooded into her heart. “I'm still in shock, Rose. Who would have thought I would make it happen so fast? This was why I didn't join StreamRoll in my freshman year,” she explained.“Yes, you were so scared. That was why you waited till your last year in school. In a couple of months now, everyone will be out of school.”Sophia let out a sigh. Rose didn't know anything. She had a lot of things she was worried about.“Anyways, I'm so happy for you
