“Y—-” Lesley muttered under his breath unable to complete the statement. He still felt like he wouldn't allow his ego to be bruised in such a manner. He was a Billing for f**k’s sake - the first son of the Billing family. He wouldn't possibly cower for a man like Alan.Alan with a burst of anger walked closer to Lesley who was writhing in pain on the ground. “Get your feet together and kneel to me.”Alan could sense that Lesley wasn't going to have his useless ego bruised so easily so he had to put himself up to the task. He wasn't going to let Lesley go without giving him the humiliation of his life. One good turn deserves another and in this case, one terrible humiliation deserves a worse disgrace.Lesley’s lips pressed into a line of uncertainty as he tried to apprehend what was happening to him. Instead of making it straightforward and serving his punishment, he tried to mock Alan, showing how strong his resolve was. “Are you doing this as revenge for how badly your face was disfi
“How dare you!” Alan seethed. “You are such a shameless fool. It was you, wasn't it? You were the one in the footage. Don't you find it very embarrassing that you try to make yourself look like me just so that Rose could divorce me?”Lesley didn't respond as his face was still red and hurt from the impact of the slap and he clutched his hands to his face in pain.“I prepared just the right punishment for you,” Alan’s face curled into a disdainful smile.Alan signaled Tobiat with a twinkle of his eye and he responded immediately as if they had already planned what they would do to him.Tobiat walked towards Lesley, fastening his fists with his face stern and cold.“Drop your phone,” Alan said firmly as he placed a bowl in front of him where he would put his phone.Lesley’s eyes narrowed in a glare of defiance but he eventually dropped his cell phone into the bowl.“Now, stand up and pull off your clothes,” Alan instructed Lesley, his words laced with a deadly bite of forcefulness.Lesl
“Come over here please, Tobiat,” He said while Tobiat brought Lesley closer. He figured out that Alan was going to handcuff their hands together so that he wouldn't get to escape while they were outside.With Alan’s face set in an expression to subject Lesley, he clamped the cuff around his wrist, his fingers fast with a silent speed of power as it clamped onto Tobiat’s wrist as well.“Now, you are both ready to go,” Alan said, clasping his hands in silent excitement.He knew that Lesley parading the street in broad daylight almost naked was going to draw a lot of reactions from people and many of the reactions were going to be embarrassing. It should be a huge shame to the Lesley family.With pain in Lesley’s voice, he screamed. “You will regret this, Alan. You won't see the end of this.”Tobiat didn't mind being cuffed with Lesley. He wanted to make sure that Lesley served his punishment. Even before he was imprisoned by Mr. Billing, he never liked him. Lesley saw him as a pompous b
A large number of customers at the mall whipped their heads around in a speed of surprise, their necks turned in sideways and opposite directions as they kept their mouths wide open in amazement at the scene they were witnessing.Many of them didn't first realize who it was at first because Lesley tried his utmost best to hide his face from the public view. It was too late though - several people who had recognized him before he got into the mall followed him into the mall to tell the others that it was indeed Lesley Billing - one of the famous businessmen in Townsend County who was naked on the streets.“Could that be who I think it is?”“It is very well who you think it is - Lesley Billing.”“But is this some sort of prank? Why is he cuffed? Perhaps he is being tamed because he has run mad.”“My dear, that is the only explanation for this. He must have gotten mad suddenly. I think the big guy he is cuffed with wants to take him to the psychiatric ward.”Tobiat aligned himself with
Mr. Elias’ investments had always been very steady and it would be a big problem if he stopped investing. Mr. Billing would never forgive him if he knew that Elias stopped investing because of him - as it was already, he was already having doubts as to whether Mr. Billing was going to embrace him after the show of shame.Lesley managed to part his lips and let out a few words. “I am mentally alright Mr. Elias…just suffering from the sins of my past.”“Suffering from the sins of your past?” Mr. Elias was even more confused, his brows furrowed in bewilderment as his eyes were wide with perplexed wonder. What sins had Lesley committed that he thought he was suffering from? A flurry of questions was coming into Mr. Elias’ mind. Tobiat had heard enough of the conversation so he pulled Lesley along with him as they made their way to the exit of the mall.****Mr. Billing’s voice erupted in a deadly roar of anger, his tone sharp and biting as his eyes were red with fury. “What the hell is g
CHAPTER 16***Lesley Billing had served his punishment which was well administered by Alan. “Boss, I am sure you must have seen everything going on in the media. We have done as you wanted,” Tobiat informed Alan, his posture exuding a sense of duty.“Oh, I am quite satisfied with the outcome,” Alan settled back with an air of satisfaction, a sigh of contentment on his face. “I am sure this must propel a lot of controversy and that is what I want. The Billings must learn to behave humanely toward others and sometimes you have to give them a taste of their own medicine for them to learn.”Tobiat nodded his head in agreement with what Alan had said.Lesley was in a private room monitored by two guards as he put his clothes back on. His mind was reeling with what he was going to face when he returned to the Billing family manor.What would Rose think of him? What would Margaret think? What would everyone think? Of course, he was going to tell everyone about what Alan did to him. But h
“If you gave me this new responsibility to distract me from the fact that you have cancer or the fact that you have something bothering you, then I regret the day I signed the document,” Alan continued. “Either way, I would continue with as much vigor as I can gather, and trust me, this might just be the last time you see me.”Alan darted fiery glances and stepped aside in readiness to leave Mr. Greyson’s manor. Alan’s eyes were red and contorted with pain. A part of him wished that he didn’t have so much empathy for his father who was ready to use him as the fall guy for federal offenses and send him to jail.Mr. Greyson blinked away in tears of sorrow as he watched Alan leave. His face was contorted with a twist of misery as a drop of tears escaped the corner of his eyes.He whispered, his lips quivering with anguish. “Alan,” he called.Alan arched his neck as he heard his father whisper his name.“I will tell you everything you need to know,” Mr. Greyson uttered, wiping away the te
“Hello, you have new instructions. Close up the gates and do not allow Lesley in. Is that understood?” “Yes, Sir,” a voice responded through the phone.“But, dad—” Margaret tried to intercede further but was met with a shush from Mr. Billing.Lesley was still struggling his way through the microphones and cameras until he finally broke free of them.The reporters decided to wait behind while they watched what was going to happen with Lesley and whether he was going to enter into the manor.One of the reporters in carrying out his duty uttered. “As you can see. Here is Mr. Lesley Billing knocking at the Billing family manor. We await to know if he will be let in considering the delicate situation that he seems to have put himself in.”“Isn’t that so, Kelvin?” He transferred the podium to another reporter.“Yes, still reporting for Eagle TV. As my colleague reported earlier, Kelvin seems to be keen on getting through to the manor. It appears that Mr. Billing, Rose Billing, Margaret Bil
