"Young Master, are we going with the driver?" Mia asked as they came out of the company."Nope, I'll be driving myself," Henry shook his head as he replied."Alright, I'll talk to him." Mia nodded and walked ahead of Henry going to meet the driver."Young master, here's the key to the car." Mia came back after a while giving Henry a key."So where are we headed to?" Mia asked feeling rather curious."Well then you should wait till we get there, you'll see it." Henry smiled as he walked towards the car parked outside the company.Getting in alongside Mia, he stepped on the accelerator and immediately the car shot forward at an incredible speed.At that moment, Henry's mind was occupied with a lot of things as he thought about what to do. The attack had started, there was no need to wait anymore as he was sure that the four families would make their moves anytime soon."Young Master, you looked worried, what's wrong?" Mia frowned as she looked at Henry's worried expression."It's just mi
"Mia!"Henry took in a deep breath and called Mia's name."Yes, young master," Mia replied as she turned to look at Henry while shivering slightly."Listen to what I'll say, you must carry them out in order, one mistake, and we'll both die."Henry said."Yes, young master." Mia nodded as she shivered.Though Henry didn't mean to scare her, he had no other choice but to tell her the consequences of making a mistake, it was grave and they would both go to the other world if they weren't careful."Unbuckle your seatbelt and then open the door slightly and hold the door. The moment I voice out my command, you'll open the door and jump out." Henry ordered, looking at the almost empty road, "But....""Just do as I said." Henry interrupted Mia and commanded."Yes, young master." Mia nodded and immediately unbuckled the seat belt with shivering hands, then she proceeded to open the car slightly and then held the door."So...so what next..." Mia asked as she shivered."Wait for my command," He
"Mia, you should take care of yourself first. I'm fine." Henry sighed as he walked into his office.They had already gotten back to the company, and he had already had his hands treated. At the moment, all he needed was some time alone."You should go home now and get some rest." Henry continued as he turned to look at Mia who had not left despite asking her to leave."But...""You don't have to worry about me, Mia. I'll be fine. Besides, it's me they want, not you so you don't have to be afraid of anything." Henry interrupted Mia as he said."You should just head back home and not come until you're fine." Henry continued.Mia nodded and turned around walking out of the company in a daze. She knew that the Young Master was serious, so she had no other choice but to listen to his command if she wanted peace.The incident had a huge impact on her, she wanted to protect the young master at all costs, yet, she was the first to Chicken out in a real situation.Henry on the other hand sighe
"What is it that you need my help with?" Ethan asked, looking at Henry with a smile on his face."What I need is not too hard, I'll just need to use your reputation and resources," Henry replied with a smile."Are you sure you wouldn't be needing anything else?" Ethan asked, still feeling worried."Nope, you shouldn't get all tensed up on my case, old man. I'm perfectly fine," Henry laughed.He knew that Ethan was genuinely worried about him, and he couldn't help but appreciate him. But still, there was no need to be so tense.He was quite sure that it was Victor who had staged the attack. As for the other families, they were just being used.Though he was the first player who had been playing the families all along, he didn't play them in a way that was going to affect them. It was all when the second player, his cousin, came into light that everything took a turn for the worse.That was not nice in any way. He knew the second player was going to dump them once the pawns became usele
"Where do you think you are going?" A voice asked. Henry frowned as he stared at the figure in front of him. "I'm not staying any longer, I need to leave this place, I feel suffocated." Henry frowned as he looked at the man in front of him staring at him with disgust."The manager requested you to watch the award-giving ceremony before you leave." The voice frowned."Fine." Henry groaned as he walked back to his seat feeling rather defeated.It was not as if he could go against the orders of his boss, so he could only sit down amidst the other employees watching the processing."And, the award for the Best Architectural Designer of the Month goes to Patrick Gonzalez." The loud voice of the Mc came and the clapping of the audience brought Henry out of his thoughts as he looked at the stage, his heart broken.This wasn't the first time this was happening. That award was supposed to be his, but no, it had been passed to his boss instead.He was an employee of Nexus Architects and was v
Henry's heart sank seeing who it was. Sighing he picked up the phone as he prayed for good news even though he knew it was futile as what he was going to receive was bad news."Henry, how are you doing?" A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone."I'm fine doctor, how's my mother?" Henry sighed as she asked."Well, I called you to inform you of her condition." The voice on the other end of the phone replied."Is she fine?" Henry asked, feeling rather optimistic even though he knew that the news he would be receiving would be bad."Well..." The voice on the other end sighed, as his voice trailed off."Doctor, please say it." Henry pleaded, it was just as he had guessed, it was going to be bad news and he was already prepared to hear it."Well, your mother's condition is becoming worse, and you need to start her treatment urgently, or else I'm afraid we'll be helpless once it enters stage III."Henry's heart sank hearing what the doctor said, he couldn't believe his ears, it w
"Son?" Henry creased his brow as he muttered the world, it was as if though he didn't hear well."Yes, son, I'm your father." The voice on the other end of the phone said happily."I'm sorry, but my father is dead," Henry replied coldly."No...""Get the Fuck off my phone, my father is long dead I don't have one." Henry huffed as he angrily disconnected the call He wasn't in the mood for any prank. At the moment, he felt so angry as though he should hit the one who had just called him and was claiming to be his father.Ring! Ring!Henry's phone rang again. Looking at the caller's ID, he saw it was the same number and angrily disconnected the call.Not long after, the phone rang again, this time, it was also the same number and Henry angrily disconnected the call.The phone rang again and he angrily disconnected it once again. Then again, and again, and again which annoyed Henry greatly.After the Fifth ringing, Henry frowned and picked up the call."What the hell do you want, I thou
Henry scowled as he turned around to look at the figure who had just called him."Ohh, it's you, Abigail." Henry smiled as he looked at her. There were no emotions in his eyes and they looked rather empty."You had the guts to look for another woman right after I broke up with you, how dare you?" Abigail fired as she looked at Henry before looking at Mia.She was jealous of Mia as the latter was more beautiful than her, besides, she was dressed luxuriously. Even Patrick wouldn't be able to afford the brand of clothes she was wearing."And how's that my business?" Henry inquired as he stared at her. "How dare you?" Abigail sneered."Well the last time I checked, you returned the engagement ring I gave you and called me a stranger, so I think the same applies to you." Henry shrugged."Besides, it's just as you've said, we are not of the same world, we were never meant to be together, so I don't think you should worry about anything.""Also, since you've engaged to the one who loves you
