“Sis, that's the only way out. Make do with what you have, when the company picks up again, you will eventually have enough money to buy them back” Ben said calmly, his face turning serious, but Lily was not having it.

“Shut your mouth! What do you think you know!”She yelled, her voice dripping with anger

She couldn't believe her mother and brother were suggesting such nonsense. Those luxurious items were her babies, for crying out loud!

What would she put on when invited to an occasion? It wasn't enough that she had fallen the social ladder, now she was being asked to sell the only thing that made her relevant in social gatherings.

“Lily, you of all people shouldn't be against this, it's for our good. Not like you are being asked to sell everything, I will bring mine, same with Ben”Miranda said softly, trying to convince her stubborn daughter

“Mom, sis should be grateful that I brought up this idea. This is what every sensible person would do”Ben said mockingly, earning a stern

    The next morning at the Harlows mansion, there was a burst of commotion as Lily and her mom argued loudly in Lily's dressing room. “Lily, I am your mother and I know better than you. You are not thinking straight right now, just calm down,and think this through ?”Miranda persuaded as she watched her daughter get dressed for her supposed contract signing. Miranda was solidly against this meeting, she couldn't point out one valid reason why Lily should leave the house and go for the meeting, but Lily on the other hand, was adamant, she had made up her mind the night before, and not even her mother's yells and warnings would change her mind. This was her only opportunity of getting money without selling off any of her designer bags or cars, and she wouldn't miss it for anything Lily slammed the makeup brush she was holding on the vanity ,as she turned to face her mother, her face contorted in a tight frown “Mom,I'm an adult , and I have been making decisions for myself since I

    5 hours later, Lily finally jerked back to consciousness, as her eyes snapped open. She darted her eyes round the dark and damp room that reeked of urine and sweat as she tried to tell where she was, but the room was too dark, leaving her with nothing to see, not even her own fair skin. Her heartbeat picked up rapidly as she started to wriggle her body and struggle to get free from the thick rope bound round her body together with the iron chair she was seated on. “Somebody help! ” Lily stomped her legs on the floor and tried to shout out, but it came out as a muffled sound because her lips were sealed with a sellotape. She broke out in cold sweat, as her breath came in shallow gasps, her chest rose and fell rapidly as the weight of the fear threatened to suffocate her.At that point, Lily needed no prophet to spill to her that she had been kidnapped!! Her mother's warnings began to gnaw at her, as a plague of regret enveloped her. Since she couldn't say any word , she began s

Without delay, Lily snapped her gaze to the entrance as a sense of immense dread washed over her, her heartbeat picking up rapidly.This time, the room was bright enough for her to see clearly . She watched as a man on a wheelchair wheeled in, with four other burly men closely behind him.“Look at what we've got here, are you done with signing the contract? Mr. Lethal asked sarcastically, an evil grin crossing his face .Lily kept her gaze down, her heart violently beating against her chest as an overwhelming sense of regret washed over her.Mr. Lethal wheeled to where Lily was seated and raised her face using his index finger ,his cold gaze, scrutinizing her pale face ."Truthfully, I doubted that a learned CEO like you would fall for such a petty lie ” He said tauntingly, his eyes gleaming with disdain and mockery “But look at what we got here, you fell right into the trap like a damn fool!" Mr lethal mocked,

    Lily heaved a sigh of relief the moment the call went through. “Hello Andrew this is Lily. Please I need you now, I'm in danger, I was kidnapped by some men and t…t..they request you come out, please help me” Lily blabbed without hesitation Andrew raised his brow in curiosity “Lily calm down?” Andrew said ,his mind racing with different thoughts It was odd that Lily called him like this ,but if truly she was in danger ,he wouldn't hesitate to go rescue the mother of his child ,even if Winnie wasn't his biologically,he'd kill for her.“Where are you right now ?” Andrew asked as he sprang up heading towards the door to get his coat.“I'm at stack mall,they said if you don't show up in an hour ,they will kill me , please Andrew.

    Andrew sat in his meditation room ,trying to pick up from where he had left off before Lily's call came in ,but for some reason ,his mind kept wandering back to the conversation he had with Lily earlier . Andrew was more concerned about Winnie because despite Lily's emotional absence towards Winnie ,he knew how much his daughter loved Lily and as a child ,she still needed a motherly figure . Andrew's mind was a jumbled mess as he picked up his phone,contemplating whether to call the number Lily used in calling him earlier or not . Buzz. His phone vibrated as he took a quick glance to check if it was Lily ,but it was Benita. “Hi Andrew "Benita said ,but Andrew couldn't help but notice that her voice tinged with frustration "How are you Benita " He asked ,his voice laced with curiosity and worry Benita heaved a deep breath before speaking up " Andrew, my car broke down.

The opulent skyscraper stood 100 stories tall with a unique design that set it apart from the surrounding buildings . Its sleek glass glistened under the moonlight. The surrounding was a display of lush gardens ,elegant water fountains and arts installations by renowned artists.

Some were engaged in conversations and making connections with the prominent guests present in the room. But Andrew sat at a corner, as he sipped his wine and kept himself busy with the choreographers dancing on the stage. Suddenly, a commotion was heard at the other side of the room,drawing the attention of the guests,including Andrews. “Oh, you thought I wouldn't find you? You haven't paid me my money and you had the guts to attend a party?!” A burly man by the name Mikeal,roared,his eyes blazing with fury “Sir please I will pay up ,I didn't just attend this party for fun ,I have a client I want to close a huge deal with ,please just give me two days ,just two days and I will pay up” Mr Cory ,the man on his knees, begged as cold sweat trickled down his face but the Mikeal wasn't bulging “You think I am here to play ?!

    Immediately, they all stepped back, avoiding eye contact with him. Now, they were all beginning to have pity for Andrew instead because they already believed he wasn't going to survive what was coming next. As the second in command of the most fearful and powerful underground world thug, Hunter commanded respect wherever he stepped his feet, and no one dared to touch anything or anyone from their region of the underground world which was the South Glory underground. Especially if that person wanted to remain alive. “See what you’ve done to yourself and us. Why would you dare touch him?” One of the guests complained afterwards, suddenly switching sides. “You should have just learnt how to mind your business. You don't have to interfere in whatever has nothing to do with you.” Another guest supported the other, and on and on did they go about berating Andrew for what they already considered to be a grave crime. “He is not someone of your caliber.

    Now it was evident that his plan had failed and he had to hurry with a new one or else he was going to get disgraced and probably thrown out. Morin was in a hurry to get Andrew out of the way so he could end up with Anastasia instead. He knew that with him around, and his plans involving him failing, his marriage with Anastasia was not going to go through. And by all means he needed to get married to Anastasia, even if that meant dealing with anyone who stood in his way. Justin, on the other hand, was just as restless as Morin. Since both of them had been the executioners of the evil plot, their reputation was on the line, especially now that inspector Amos had confessed. “Alright everyone,” Justin walked to stand in the middle, clapping in order to draw everyone's attention to himself. “It is now clear to us that we have made a mistake by following the false rumors which spoke I'll about our dear brother in law. So, I beg everyone to please apologize to him for speaking ill abo

    Finally, the time for the party had arrived, and the hall was bursting with activities. From people chatting away, and the low, comforting sound of music that filled the decorated hall. The servers could be seen walking around with trays of drinks and champagne in their hands. When it was time to get the party going before the main event took place, Mr. Roman walked towards the front row and drew everyone's attention with the clicking of his glass. “I must firstly thank you all for choosing to make time and come celebrate with my family. Thank you for that.” He began his statement, wearing a huge smile on his face. Everyone smiled back and patiently waited to hear more of what he had to say. “I'm sure that we're all still aware of the reason for our celebration today.” He paused for a while, the smile on his face immediately washing away while a downcasted look, one laced with pain and disappointment. “However, I'm sad to say that my heart and that of my family has been

    It was like one of those nights when the Ashton family always had enough to celebrate. It could be about their evil schemes finally coming to a sensible plot, or it could be that as usual, they were always one step ahead. They were all seated in the large and undoubtedly spacious living room, bearing smiles on their faces and gladness in their hearts. Finally, one of the family's dreams was going to come to pass. “Oh, finally.” Anastasia groaned loudly. Not the kind of groan that held any form of regret, sadness or pain. But the one filled with relief. Every member of the family seated, and who equally understood what she meant either burst into a loud laughter or chuckle. “I'm so happy for you Ana. You finally get to be free.” Her aunt Monica said, a smile of satisfaction crested on her face while she helped herself with a glass of champagne from the table. “I can't believe he really thought I was going to get married to him. Tch!” Anastasia hissed out loud, her tone and face

    “I'm going to show them just how good and useful I can be to their family if they let me get married to their daughter.” Morin couldn't just get over the obsession of Anastasia over and done with. Just as much as he saw every opportunity as a means of proving his worth, so did he see this present case of Mr Roman falling ill. Everyone was now at the Ashton family mansion, and they were all panicking, looking for a means to cure Mr Roman who couldn't be treated by other doctors they had called. No one could even take what must have made him fall ill so quickly without a warning. But they were more worried about what was going to happen to him if they didn't find any doctor who was going to heal him on time. “Let me heal him. I can do it.” Andrew volunteered, stepping forward to where Mr Roman was laid right there in his bedroom. “Have you suddenly gone nuts?” Anastasia was the first to yell at him, her eyes blazing fury with the tears trickling down her cheeks. “Do you have

    Everyone looked. It was Amik’s phone. Amik's smile spread across his face, smug and satisfied. “This has been my life lately. My phone’s always buzzing with notifications. Everyone wants a taste of me.” He laughed, the sound ringing through the room like a victory bell. “Hahaha, I must be going viral now.” He said it like it was a statement of fact, a truth he had come to accept as part of his identity. “Sadly, my PA ain’t here to check the messages. And I don’t have that kind of time,” he added, puffing out his chest, slipping the phone back into his pocket. It was a simple explanation that sounded so perfect to him. He assumed the overwhelming flood of notifications was just another reminder of his growing fame. After all, why else would his phone be buzzing so much? He was popular now. Everyone wanted a piece of him. The men around him exchanged confused glances, eyes narrowing, unsure of what they were hearing. Something didn’t sit right. Yes, Amik’s phone had been buzzing for

    Amik stood firm, his eyes locked on Andrew. “No. I won’t let him in before me,” he repeated, his voice cold, laced with an edge that cut through the tension in the room. Andrew didn’t flinch, though the words stung. He could feel the weight of Amik’s gaze, the way it stripped him down. In Jashem, money wasn’t just about wealth—it was a symbol. And what Andrew was wearing—his simple shirt, his plain jeans—had already spoken volumes to Amik. There was no way a rich man would dress like that. It was unthinkable. Amik looked him over with disgust, his eyes dismissive. “No confirmation, no special treatment. You’re just another poor man trying to get by,” Amik muttered under his breath, but loud enough for Andrew to hear. The words cut deeper than Andrew wanted to admit. His heart hammered against his ribs, the sting of being judged so quickly gnawing at him. It wasn’t just about what Amik said—it was the way he said it, the certainty in his voice. Amik had decided, without a second th
