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

    The door suddenly yanked open,as bright light spread across the room. 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. Let's put out past behind us this once,please”Lily begged “Lily calm down ,don't do anything rash ,I will be….Suddenly Andrew paused ,as a thought flashed through his mind What if this was one of Lily's schemes ?Andrew thought ,his face suddenly turning col

    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. Can you come pick me up ?I'm sorry I had to call all of a sudden " “No issues,Benita . Where are y

An hour later, Andrew arrived at the subrim palace on his motorbike. He glanced up at the tall and large building,admiring its exquisite structure . 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. Andrew surveyed the surroundings,nodding his head in approval ,with his experience as an owner of such types of buildings,he could tell that the queens poured in a lot of resources into building such a magnificent hotel ,the place was indeed worth the hype . Andrew rode his motorbike to the large garage,ignoring the awkward stares and murmurs he was getting from the people who just arrive

    The party was in full swing,as cool music filled the air,some of the guests were vibing to the music and chatting with their plus one . 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 ?!

What the fuck did you just do?!”He growled,looking at his hands that was filled with blood Liam let out a cruel laugh “That is just an example. If you don't get your rotten self out of here ,you will face a fate worse than that!” Liam spat maliciously,and took a threatening step towards Mikeal Mikeal flared up ,his eyes blazing with anger “Do you know who I am ? Are you seeking death !” Mikeal roared ,and turned to face his boys “What are you standing there for ?Get that bastard!” He growled At Mikeal’s order ,the bodyguards dashed towards Liam at once .“Wait !” Tiffany suddenly shouted ,causing the men to halt in their steps .This was beginning to get more intense than she had expected and she wouldn't watch these thugs beat Liam to death in her own party .She had to take another route to make sure that Mikeal

    The crowd was stunned as they saw that it was Mr Cory .The same Cory who almost had his arm chopped off by Mikeal a few minutes ago ,was now defending him,what was he thinking ?“ Have you gone nuts? Do you know what you have done ?! You just made things worse for me! How dare you lay hands on Mr Mikeal?” Mr Cory fumed ,glaring at Liam who froze in shock with his hands clutched onto his swollen face as he tried to understand what was going on. “What did this man just do ?” “Is this man insane?”“ What's happening? Why did he do that ?”Murmurings erupted in the hall as the on-lookers watched Mr Cory in disbelief.Before they all knew it , he walked towards mikeal and dropped to his knees, his head bowed in fear and respect “Please sir, I'm sorry for the trouble I have caused you. Please I don't know who that man is,and we aren't affiliated in any way .

He just needs a single blow to send him back to the psychiatric hospital he ran away from” One of Mikeals men said jeeringly,prompting a loud guffaw from Mikeal, his men and some of the guests . They all flickered their scornful gaze to Andrew,regarding him as a fool who didn't know what he was doing . “I will pardon you for obvious reasons ,now get out of here before I change my mind!” Mikeal declared arrogantly “ I am not here to banter words with you. You have five seconds to pack your men and get out of here” Andrew retorted expressionlessly Andrew's words abruptly ushered in a moment of shocked silence with an immediate inquiry sound from the crowd “What !” “Did you hear that ?!” Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded that Andrew challenged Mikeal .

    Two days later, Andrew set off for Jashem City after saying his goodbyes to Benita, her arms lingering a little longer around his shoulders, her eyes trying to memorize every line of his face before he turned and disappeared through the gates.He had no idea when he would see her again, and part of him knew deep inside that there was a chance he might not come back the same man he was when he left.During his long, sleepless nights of research about the Ashton family, he had stumbled upon the news that they were hosting an engagement party at their estate in two days' time, a lavish celebration meant to unite two powerful families in blood and influence.Andrew leaned back in his chair the night he found out, tapping the screen of his laptop slowly, the wheels in his mind already beginning to turn with dangerous precision.He decided then that he would attend the party himself, not as a man seeking vengeance or justice yet, but as a quiet observer hidden behind a mask of courtesy.It

    His voice, once proud and sharp, broke down into pleading.“I-I’m sorry,” Amik stammered, hands trembling, “Please… I didn’t know… If I had known… I swear, I wouldn’t have…”He looked up at Andrew like a drowning man begging for rope. “I was wrong. I was so wrong. Please forgive me. Just one chance, just one.”But Andrew didn’t move. He didn’t speak. He didn’t show the rage they had mocked, or the power they had denied. He only looked at Amik with the same quiet calm that had shaken them all to the core.It was that stillness that made it unbearable.“I didn’t know,” Amik repeated, now more desperately. “I didn’t mean it. I didn’t know who you were!”Amik begged harder, his voice growing more frantic. He promised anything, everything—money, favors, loyalty—but deep down, he knew it was too late.It was all his fault .His voice was shaking, words tumbling over each other, but Andrew’s expression didn’t change.There was no mercy in his eyes.He had given him chances. He had shown rest

    Amik laughed, loud and careless, the sound ringing through the room. “Don’t tell me you actually believed what this lowlife just said?”He tilted his head, smiling as if he had just witnessed the most ridiculous lie of the century. His words dripped with mockery, his voice full of arrogance. He spoke like a man too sure of the air he breathed, too unaware that it could be taken from him.He looked around for agreement, waiting for the others to join in, but his laughter began to echo back at him. The room didn’t laugh with him this time.There was a pause. A long one.Then a voice snapped through the silence like a crack in glass."He was telling the truth!" one of the men shouted back, his voice cracking with urgency, and instantly, every pair of eyes in the room jerked toward the television mounted on the wall.And just like that, nothing else in the room mattered anymore.The screen lit up with the red-and-white logo of a news station known for breaking high-priority corporate up

    Andrew slowly took the phone away from his ear, his thumb still resting on the screen.He didn’t blink. He didn’t move. His face stayed calm—too calm.But the room around him was not.Suddenly, loud laughter exploded in the air, sharp and mocking.It was cruel. It was on purpose. Each laugh was louder and meaner than the last, filled with pride and disbelief.They weren’t just laughing at what he said.They were laughing at the idea that someone like him could say it and actually believe it.One of them clapped loudly, almost choking in his amusement. “You hear that?! He cancelled the contract,” he managed to gasp, slapping the armrest beside him. “The bloody contract! What’s next? He owns Jashem too?!”Another man snorted and leaned in, eyes glinting with ridicule. “Only the chairman can make that call. And last I checked, the chairman doesn’t wear cheap jeans and second-hand shoes.”The laughter doubled. It wasn’t just sound—it was assault.“You must really enjoy embarrassing yourse

  • Chapter 220: Not Just A Threat

    Andrew was slightly taken aback himself, though not in the way they thought. He hadn't known Amik had partnered with his company. Not because it wasn’t important, but because he hadn’t been keeping up. The CEO had begged him to visit the Jashem branch, to see the numbers, the growth, to meet the new partners. But Andrew hadn’t had the time—or the interest. He had poured his all into that company . He’d built it brick by brick. And when it began to rise, he didn’t cling to it. He didn’t need to see its shadow to know it still stood strong. He set it up to grow without him. He had built ten branches in the ten cities. Each one planted like a seed with deep roots.He had no idea the Jashem branch had grown so much. That it now commanded this kind of attention. That it had the clout to make or break careers.Andrew chuckled softly.The world is small. Smaller than pride.Still, he wouldn’t use it against the man. Not yet. He wouldn’t tamper with Amik’s contract.But he would give him

    Silence fell in the room, Thick and heavy .No one spoke, not even Amik.Every man in that lounge had gone still, as if suddenly realizing they’d been standing beside royalty and hadn’t known it.Every man in that lounge knew exactly who he was now.“This is Amik Brandon, the CEO of Amiklin Corp” One of the men said out loud , his voice trembling with amazement “Of course it's him !” Another yelled in astonishment Amik Brandon.The man the whole of Jashem was buzzing about. The man whose name had been plastered across every media channel four days ago after the shocking announcement that A and U Group had partnered with him.A partnership of that level was unheard of. Almost mythical. Every tech CEO in the city had been trying for years to get A and U’s attention, and yet somehow, Amik had done it. Practically overnight, he'd become Jashem’s newest obsession. People wanted to know how he pulled it off. Was it innovation? Was it bribery? Was it sheer luck?It didn’t matter.He was n

  • Chapter 218: Lower Class

    Mr. Amik stood firm, eyes narrowing as Andrew prepared to walk past. His presence wasn’t loud, but the tension in his stance spoke volumes. To him, the idea of this plain-dressed stranger cutting ahead was nothing short of an insult. It wasn’t just impatience—it was disbelief. And somewhere beneath it, bruised pride that refused to bleed quietly.In Jashem City, you could size a man up before he even spoke. The city was built on performance, and everyone knew it. Wealth was never silent. It sparkled in diamond watches, strutted in limited-edition suits, and screamed from behind tinted luxury cars. That was the code. That was the order. And in this order, no rich man dressed in a shirt and faded jeans.So Amik didn’t need confirmation. He didn’t need names or stories.He had looked at Andrew, made a decision, and moved on.Lower class. Clearly.And now that man was stepping in before him?He felt his chest tighten with fury, the kind that didn’t explode—but boiled. His pride, swollen

  • Chapter 217: Mr. Torino

    Andrew decided to meet with Mr. Torino, the man Cain had mentioned—the one who supposedly held answers about the crimson herb. Whether the man could be trusted was still uncertain, but at this point, Andrew knew one thing for sure: the deeper he went into this web, the more every move mattered. When he arrived at the office, he saw five other men already seated in the narrow waiting area. They didn’t look like ordinary clients. Their suits were crisp, their silence loaded. Men like these didn’t sit in waiting rooms unless they were waiting for something very valuable—or someone very powerful. And none of them seemed like the type to be kept waiting for long.Andrew took a seat without a word. His eyes didn’t scan the room. He didn’t acknowledge anyone. There was no point in drawing attention to himself when all he wanted was information. His thoughts were elsewhere—fixed on the herb, Cain’s warning, and now this mysterious Mr. Torino.Minutes passed.He was still thinking about Ca

  • Chapter 216: Smarter Than The Tricks

    Andrew stood still, his jaw locked tight, eyes unreadable. The cold in his expression far sharper than any weapon aimed his way. Twenty guns. Twenty black barrels waiting for a command. But not a twitch crossed his features. There was no panic behind his eyes. He wasn’t thinking about the bullets or the weight of twenty triggers. His mind was far ahead. Past the fear. Past the noise. Locked on the only thing that mattered now—the herb. “I’ll sign on one condition,” Andrew said finally, his voice quiet but clear as he took a slow, unhurried step toward Cain. Cain's hand twitched, the papers on the desk rustling under his palm. “If you move an inch, I’ll order my men to shoot,” he snapped, slamming his palm down again, like that sound alone could make him feel powerful. “Sign the document. Once you do, we’ll start from there.” Andrew didn’t look at the paper. He didn’t look at the button. He only looked at Cain. And he knew. If Cain had really meant to kill him, he would h
