“This guy must be a fool” Danvers said to himself “it is very obvious he didn't know the worth of the wine they just consumed. That was a black LaBelle wine that cost not less than 1 million as wholesale price. And over 28 bottles were consumed." He said, smiling to himself.Stephen stood up agitated “Do you mean a bottle of wine cost 1 million dollars, and a total spending per table is over 1.2 million dollars as well? This is ridiculous. I need to see your manager this instant. This is outrageous!" The waiter left helplessly and called the manager's attention. A few moments later, a young elegant young man neatly dressed in office attire surfaced. “I believe you want to keep your job here, young man." He shouted at him “how can your prices of food and drinks be so outrageous? Believe me or not, I am not going to pay that amount of money for anything .” He said, greeting his teeth.The manager was not moved by his ranting. That was not the first time he had such a vagabond in the
"I did” lowering her head in shame. The whole family could not hold back their laughter." It's for sure that Danvers forgot his too, this family is indeed shameless they came here to eat free food” Matthew said, and they laughed even harder. At this point, Rhina was helpless, and it was evident all over her. Danvers could not bear to see her in that state “I brought my card but…” Rhina got angry and asked him to sit, but before he did, Stephen had already seized the card from him and handed it to the waitress. " Let's see if he will have even up to 150 dollars on that card!”Rhina knew he was going to make a fool of himself as she only gave him 100 dollars daily for upkeep. They were all overwhelmed when they heard Miss Young exclaim over the kind of card Danvers owned; it was a white bank card with a touch of gold. “I didn't see that right, did I? A white bank card right in front of me?” She screamed with joy. Her words seemed to have turned everyone into a stone.The card was ex
“Didn't you hear what she said? Let her hear you call auntie. If not, you won't like my next move, I am giving you the opportunity to be a good boy and call her auntie” “Then, if you would just add something to it by kneeling in front of her, I will let you leave here in good health, else you will go out on a stretcher” Liza couldn't help but laugh at Danvers. She immediately made her way to the front, fished out her phone, ready to record the entire show to send it to Rhina. “And what if I don't?"Liza frowned upon seeing Danvers' resistance “he is not ready to apologize for his actions. Moses just hit him already and made him kneel”“As you wish, princess," Moses grabbed Danvers by the cooler with one hand and the other ready to deliver a fierce punch. “Stop right there, you ingrete”They were all stunned seeing the caliber of people who just walked in.Nicky, the boss of Gold Plaza, Samson, the boss of Malinois snack, And William of premium soft beauty care. None of them was
“Grandma lady, are you seriously going to let Rhina lead the Champions real estate project?” Stephen asked as he sat comfortably on the sofa. “Since it was Rhina who negotiated and signed the project, it is only fair and natural for her to be the team head," looking at Stephen “or do any of you have a problem with that?" She asked with a serious face. "Mom, you have to think through your decision over again. Besides, it won't be good for Stephen if Rhina should be the team head and also change her status” Marcus said.Confused as she was, Lady Dabby looked at both of them and said “if there is something you want to say, then say it to my face and stop beating around the bush like children." "Grandma lady, though Danvers is part of the family, it doesn't change the fact that he is still a stranger. He has been with us for the past four years now, and he has nothing to show for it. You need to be afraid that such a project we have longed for will fall in the hands of that loser once
you what!? Rhina was furious after hearing what Ethans said. In an angry tone, she said “Just forget about whatever plans you have in mind. Don't forget I am still married. “Even an animal will have feelings coupled with the way Danvers had been treated in the past, he doesn't deserve all of this.Even when his allowance was transferred to another just to punish him for commiting a crime,he still remained steadfast and never complained.” Rhina unconsciously said. Denver's had done a lot for them in a short while. He paid for their bills then at the hotel when Stephen tried to insult them, thereby using all his savings. Again, he had provided the money she needed to solve the problem in her company, and now this, he needed so much respect. Looking at Rhina “ you don't need to worry about that loser, I will prepare a big package when coming and I am already dabby won't refuse my offer”Though she did not have any regards for Danvers, they had been married for four years, and i
The next day at Rhina's company. The staff and board of directors at Rhina's company were all lined up in front of the company. Frank, the project manager at Champions, was visiting consequently lady Dabby asked each of them to be at their best behavior. A few minutes later, Frank arrived at the production clan house. Where is Miss Dabby? Frank asked in a determined but carefree way. Stephen thought Frank was asking for fancy reasons, so he figured out a way to come out of it. She couldn't make it because she was having morning sickness, you know how ladies could be! I am going to be in charge of this project from now onwards. He replied with a beautiful smile on his face. Frank noded, well said then. But this project can only be continued after Miss Dabby is back on her feet and ready to resume her position. That said, he stood up, ready to leave the company's building. Stephen tried to convince him of his capabilities to handle the project, but Frank turned and spoke up in a
At Bradon’s SupermarketRhina and Liza had just finished shopping for the Happy Day celebration. It is quite evident that both ladies turned heads wherever they went. I need to get home, and I have a lot of unfinished business. Rhina said, entering her car. A few moments later, she stopped by to pick up her mother, who went to visit her friend. “Mum, how did it go?”“Great my dear , I had a lot of catching up to do, girl.” A few minutes later, there was a flashlight on Rhina's phone.She slowed down to see the sender and realized it was from Danvers. And it contained only a few words. “You should reject their offer if they bring up the contract negotiation to you.” Her brows furrowed“What's up with him this time?Stephen had already been instructed to take my place as team head. Has he suddenly lost his memory? She pondered within her with a change of facial expression. Lady Dabby’s favoritism between Stephen and other youths in the family was open to everyone; she always favor
Marcus told Stephen the person who picked up the call and how he ended the call. Stephen grew even angrier, moving back and forth in the conference room and wiping his nostrils with the back of his hand.He could not contain his anger anymore, so he exploded and said “you good for nothing live-in-son-in-law, what gave you the mind to hang up on my dad. His heart sank. What were they going to do now that Rhina has refused to show up at the office. Even after his father called. Stephen and Rhina had problems but it was never for once in Rhina's nature to disrespect elders, aware of this, Stephen deliberately asked his father to do this but it was quite evident things were not the same anymore. Marcus moved towards Stephen, holding his hand, trying to calm him down, and asked,“What do we do if Rhina refuses to come forward and claim her position?”Still burning in anger, he sneered and asked “Did you just say that good for nothing, picked up her call, and hung up on you?”“Not just th
Stephen was carried and placed in an ambulance and rushed to the hospital. “He is loosing a lot of blood" the doctor said. “ We need to get him to the operation room to remove the bullet it punctured his heart and he is going to need a heart transplant"Fortunately for him, there was a donor who was also a match. He was immediately prepared for surgery. As soon as he was closed up, he went into a coma. Raven on the otherhand was arrested and taken to court for attempted murder.Life in jail wasn't treating him well as he was constantly being beaten by his cell mates. The doctors did all they could to see that Stephen is back on his feet so he could face judgment to know avail. None of his family members even came to visit or see how he was doing. His insurance card was already running out of cash making expenses to be on the hospitals account. While investigations were still going on, Frederick went to visit Raven.“I need you to do something for me" he started.“Anything for yo
After Danvers had signed the contract with his collaborators and partners, he organized a small celebration party to celebrate the idea. The event was covered by the Eden media houses. As soon as other media houses saw the footage, they immediately connected to it selling his idea even more. The next day, other companies and businesses started rushing in to sign up under the Danvers' Alliance to gain protection. “ If I tell you that I am not proud of you, then I must be a liar!!" Patrick, Danvers' uncle said. And he chuckled a little. " Thank you"Danvers didn't end there. He made sure to trace where Emile and Peter were hiding. As he was still talking to his uncle, he received a call about the people who unanimously wanted to see him go down. “ I need to go, I have urgent matters that need my attention!" He said as he grabbed his keys and left. “Take your time Son!" Patrick shouted at the top of his voice with beautiful smiles written all over his face. After riding for 20 minu
The journalist tried to walk into the company to ask further questions but was not given the opportunity. Maxon, Xavier and the other company guides made sure none of them entered the office. Danvers walked into his office followed by his two Maxon and Xavier. They turned on the television news channels and they were all happy to see the fire Danvers had just packed up. Social media on its part wasn't helping matters. Influencers hijacked the whole situation and even made things worst. After seeing what has been happening over the media, the reaction of the population was instantaneous as they started withdrawing from the Blackwell Building. They stopped shopping there and regarded it as an area or a mall that was out to see the people dead. Five months later***********Items in the building started going out of date. Unable to recover his debts, Raven was forced to give it out to someone else while investigations were still going on regarding the claims Danvers had labeled again
Before Danvers could reach out to the owner of the Blackwell Building to stop him, Raven had already bought and was already in charge of the business. But that didn't stop him, he started to unveil everything that Raven had done in the past. The page he had created a few weeks back had gained immense popularity. He decided to use it as a tool against Raven and his new business. He released the first video on how Danvers poisoned his Dad and how he collaborated with Frederick, his cousin to accomplish his evil plans. People started restraining from his supermarket but with the use of influencers and some media personnels, he was able to clear his name. “ I need you to make the public believe it's all a lie, whatever That Bastard is saying on that useless page of his are all lies."“But how do you want us to do that?" One of the influencers asked.“I don't know, just do your job and I will pay you no matter the amount you need. I worked so hard to be here" they looked at him and nod
“You have to calm down, we've got this" Danvers assured Marcel . He decided to look into the account of the lawyer who defended Raven too and also other prominent individuals whom he thinks might be related to whatever Raven was doing. On investigating these accounts, they found out one and thesame problem. Which is having different figuresin the account and another on the bank statement.“This is strange" Marcel said and Danvers laughed. “No it's not. I have encountered something like this in the past and they didn't realize it until when the evidence was brought to their faces." He said with a smile on his face. With the assurance that Xavier andaxon were both equal to the task. Turning to look at his men he asked. “ Can you fix it immediately? " Sure we can” they said with their eyes still focused on their laptops. " First we need to print out this information before it is corrected on the system.”Looking at the worrid Marcel, Danvers walked up to him and smiled. " You don
The next day, Danvers drove to his office. While on his way, he decided to pass by the bank. Divo Bank, was the bank used by most prominent wealthy individuals in Bradon city. When he got there, he drove to the parking lot and after that, he walked straight to the receptionist area. “ You are welcome sir, how may we help you!?" A young slim beautiful young lady dressed in a corporate attire asked him. “ I am here to see your manager, is he in?"“ Yes sure, please hold on a second let me notify him of your presence" she said, picking up the fixed phone beside her desk and calling.“Sure," Danvers replied, taking a step back. " This way sir” the lady said, leading the way to the elevator and to the manager's office. Danvers walked in and the lady smiled and went back to her post of duty. As Danvers walked in, he was elated to see Marcel," Great master!!” Marcel chaired as he stood up on his feet to greet him respectfully. Danvers released a broad smile deep down he knew that this w
Danvers sat alot in his office staring at the prices of evidence the lawyer threw to the bin and judged everything in Raven's favor, recording and chats with his associates. The more Danvers thought of it, the more he realized how pathetic the economy they lived in had become. He leaned back in his chair, with his eyes narrowed on one of the pieces of evidence he had in his hand. He knew there was something wrong and he needed to figure it out so everything would fall in place. Shortly after, there was a knock on the door distracting him from what he was trying to figure out. “Who is it?” he asked, keeping his voice steady.“Marshall,” Marshall replied with his response barely above a whisper. “It’s me, Danvers, let me in.”He hesitated for a second because he wanted to be alone and think. But Marshall was his lawyer, and on his side besides he also had the necessary guidance he needed at the moment. After thinking for a while whether yo let him in or not, he went towards the door
The courtroom was busy with viewers from around the city and soft whispers and shuffles of papers were heard as the trial of Raven reached its climax. They had not expected it to be this way from the beginning. The room was filled up, every seat occupied by those who followed the case with a lot of interest and concern with regards to what they thought was all Danvers’ fault not knowing the person behind it had been moving freely in their midst. Among the crowd of people present were reporters, some holding notebooks in their hand, while others with cameras ready to take pictures of every event taking place there today.At the front, Danvers sat comfortably in his chair, with his hands held together on the table in front of him. His lawyer, an aspiring young man Marshall , was beside him, flipping through a thick file of documents to get a better master in case he missed anything. Across the room was Raven, the aging man who was behind all the events that led to Danvers' arrest, s
“I would do that but I need you to tell me everything that's to know about you and this case” the lawyer uttered with a stained face. Raven looked at him and narrowed his head in shame. Then looked up at him again and he began narrating all that had happened from when he new Danvers Dad till date how he ended up in jail. " Waoow” the lawyer heased, " that's a huge one but I would do everything in my power to see that you are released." The lawyer said and left. Danvers was in his living room and when he recieved a call from an anonymous number. He was hesitant at first then later decided to hear what the person had to say. “Hello?" Danvers answered inquisitively. “Hello, my name is Louis Jeck and I am sorry to bother you this evening" “That's okay! How may I help you?" Danvers asked again. “ I am here to give you a vital information which I know you would need against Raven and his team. It also has to do with your company the Champions production house"“I am listening!" He s
