Chef Ronaldo’s eyes widened for a split second then he frowned.“You know what would happen if you do this, chef. Everything you’ve worked all these years for will go down the drain which is exactly what she wants” Alexander said and Chef Ronaldo looked at Janise.“She? So I was right” he said and then looked at Alexander “I don’t have any choice. Like you said, she brought me to this—“ The husband interrupted.“Who the hell are you?!” He asked.Both Alexander and Chef Ronaldo looked at him.“You want to know who I am, huh? Okay then” Chef Ronaldo said then walked closer to the husband.“My name is Ronaldo Drayman and I’ve been the victim of this woman’s blackmailing scheme for the past couple of months now,” Chef Ronaldo said.The husband looked at Alexander then he looked at the chef and frowned.“Sorry, but your friend tried the same trick but it didn’t work and neither will yours. My wife isn’t a blackmailer so you two liars can leave my property before I—“ the husband did but wa
“How many times do I have to tell you that I’m not any blackmailer or this Genevieve person you’re mistaking me for?!” Janise said adamantly. Alexander, who was getting tired of her constant denial, frowned. “You might be able to change your face with surgeries but one thing you can never change is your voice. How many times do you think I’ve heard that voice tell me what to do in the kitchen? How many times do you think I was reprimanded by that voice of yours for making the tiniest mistake until I became the great chef I am today?” Chef Ronaldo said and Janise frowned.“Again, I don’t know what you’re talking—!“ she said but Alexander cut her off.“Yeah. Yeah. You’re going to tell us for the one-hundredth time that we have you mistaken for someone else and we’re still not going to believe you, but let me ask you this one simple question” Alexander said and everybody became curious about what he was going to ask.“Was the fact that Chef Ronaldo would be able to identify and remembe
Janise was shocked to hear what her husband just said.“Babe?” She looked at him.With an emotionless face, the husband looked back at her and said “I’ve loved you since the moment I laid my eyes on you and to make sure we one day ended up together I put in so much effort to be the one you want. Did you think I wouldn’t notice when you started acting differently?”“What?” Janise’s eyes blinked rapidly.“For the past couple of months, I’ve had a feeling that you were going through something, so while I waited for you to open up to me about it, I just stayed back and observed. Never in a million years would I imagine that you changed because you became someone who would do something so terrible to someone else” the husband said to her then he looked at Chef Ronaldo.“While I was keeping an eye on her, I noticed that there was something strange with our family’s safe. For some reason, she who had never once used it, started going to it on a regular, so though I’m not a hundred percent su
Alexander and Kevin went inside and Alexander did a little look around the room.Just like the rest of the house, it wasn’t an exceptional-looking room and Alexander started to wonder what Janise had done with all that money she got from Chef Ronaldo.Since she very well couldn’t use it in ways that her husband would be aware of so what did she do with it?“This way,” Kevin said, taking Alexander’s attention away from his observation of the room.“Okay,” the young multimillionaire replied then followed Kevin to one side of the room.‘A painting. So I’m guessing that the safe of behind this’ Alexander crossed his arms and thought as both of them stood in front of a realistic portrait of a landscape.Kevin grabbed the sides of the painting and raised it from the hook it was hung on.He set the painting on the side and both men stared at the wall safe. Kevin looked at Alexander and said “If you don’t mind”“Sure” Alexander replied then looked away.“Thanks,” Kevin said then stepped clos
First of all, I’d like to apologize for the lack of chapters for the past month and two weeks. I won’t lie or make any excuse as to why that is and I’ll only tell the truth. The truth is I wasn’t making anything substantial from this book and it had been going on like that for a long time but seeing the views, although little, gave me motivation to keep writing. Two months before I stopped writing I saw that I barely got any views or promotion from the platform so I took a couple of days to rest and try and fall in love with the story again. A couple of days turned to weeks to months and you get the rest. During that time I went to find a job that’ll give me something to live by and I’m happy to say that I have and now I’ve fallen in love with the story again and would like to continue. I’ve already written a couple of chapters, about to finish the blackmail arc and start a new one. All that’s left is to go through everything I’ve written, edit, and start uploading. Upload starts
Alexander and Kevin walked down the corridor leading to the staircase and just as they were a few feet away from it, Alexander’s enhanced hearing kicked in.He began to hear the conversation being had between Chef Ronaldo and Janise downstairs.Alexander groaned at how personal the conversation seemed then not wanting to invade their privacy he decided to stop listening. He also wasn’t interested in the conversation as all he cared about was finishing his mission from the gods of vengeance and possession, so he decreased the range of his hearing to that of a normal person. He and Kevin got to the top of the stairs and he took his focus to the countdown timer again, this time having a foreboding feeling as they started walking down the stairs.‘Just one more thing to do and the mission is complete. Nothing stupid better happen in the last minute—‘ Alexander thought but was cut off by what he saw in the living room.He saw Chef Ronaldo on the floor and Janice pointing the gun at him.
Alexander knew that even if his hands were taped together behind his back, he had the joint flexibility to take his arms over his head and return them to his front then the strength to rip the tape apart in a fraction of a second.“No problem” Alexander shrugged then did what Kevin asked.Kevin went behind Alexander and taped his hands together.“Make sure it’s tight and he can’t get out of it. I’ll be checking what you did after you’re done with both of them.” Janice instructed and Kevin halted.He looked at Alexander and said “Sorry”Alexander, who knew that the man wasn’t taping his wrists that tightly before, chuckled and said “You tried” Kevin went ahead to tighten the tape around Alexander’s wrist then he tore it from the rest of the roll.“You’re done with him? Alright, do the same for Ronald” Janice said and Kevin did what she wanted.He taped Chef Ronaldo’s arms behind his back like he did Alexander then he tore it from the rest of the roll. Janice used the gun to instruct
“My answer is still no. I work in construction, which is a job where my life is at risk every single day. That scares me a lot more than the thought of you shooting me because I know it’s not going to happen” Kevin said and Janice frowned.“You don’t want to listen then you leave me no choice” Janice said then pointed the gun at Kevin’s stomach.“Don’t it Genevieve!” Chef Ronaldo yelled while Alexander sat in silence and contemplated how he was going to turn the situation around.He looked at the countdown timer and there was still a lot of time left but it made him worry because, like he thought before, the time was too much.Clearly, the gods of vengeance and possession knew that something like this would happen, hence why they gave him such a massive time allowance to begin with.Now, the question was, does the fact that there were still hours left in the countdown timer mean that something even more bad was going to happen?Alexander started to get impatient and wondered if he sho
Alexander went back to WhatzApp where he continued chatting with Winifred until she said that she had to go offline because her teacher just walked into the class and she would talk to him later. The chat ended which was good because Alexander was starting to get tired as he wasn’t someone who liked chatting all that much. After that, Alexander looked at his phone, from front to back, and groaned. “Why haven’t I upgraded this yet?” He asked himself as he looked at the phone with disgust. How could he be using such an old model when he had hundreds of millions of dollars in his account? It was unbecoming and disgraceful. “Alright, I guess I know what to do today,” Alexander said then he dropped the phone on the bed and went to take a shower. After a couple of minutes, he came out of the bathroom fully dried, put on what he would wear for his outing then he took the phone from the bed and went out of the house. He got into his car and got ready to drive off, but first, he need
If he wasn’t able to read at an incredible pace thanks to his heightened intellect, he wouldn’t have been able to finish reading the second message because she deleted it less than a second after he received it.She sent the message again some seconds later and the second sentence was gone.[If you are then it’s kind of late, don’t you think?]Alexander chuckled because the deleted message showed that the girl had eavesdropped on his conversation with her father because she shouldn’t have known that he was done with high school and was waiting to go to college.She knew this which was why she deleted it, hoping that he didn’t see the message. Unfortunately for her, he did, and she couldn’t ask if he did because it would be awkward, so she just hoped and wanted to move on.He replied [Yeah, I know] pretending like he didn’t see the message she deleted.He also messaged that he wanted to save her number so she should give him a minute. [Okay but hurry up so we can continue talking][No
After eating so much food and satisfying his hunger, Alexander slept like a log and because he had nothing to do the following day, the System didn’t bother to wake him up. Within the time that he slept, his body changed a little, adapting to the ten stat points he was awarded after accomplishing his last mission, and a good portion of the food he ate was used for that which was why he wasn’t bloated after gobbling up all those many dishes.The next morning came and Alexander continued to sleep, not hearing when his alarm rang until it stopped.A couple of minutes passed and the alarm rang again but still, he wasn’t able to hear it until it stopped.Between the second time the alarm rang and the next time it would ring again— after snoozing— Alexander received a notification on his phone.It was a message, two actually, but Alexander still wasn’t able to hear them because of how deep in sleep he was until, finally, the next alarm that rang woke him up.{“Good morning, Mister Alexande
Afterward, Alexander, Mr. Terrence, and Mrs. Terrence sat in the living room and talked business while Winifred was told to go to her room. The girl pretended to do that, but she sat by the stairs and listened to the entire meeting. Her reason for doing that was because she wanted to know when the meeting would be over. She knew that Alexander would leave immediately after the meeting was done and she wanted to see him before he did. A couple of minutes later and the meeting came to an end. “Since we’re done discussing everything we have to for today, I guess it’s about time I take my leave,” Alexander said as he stood up from the couch. “Of course. Please allow us to escort you to your car” Mr. Terrence said as he and his wife stood up as well.“Thank you” Alexander smiled.“Wait, Winifred hasn’t said goodbye to him yet,” Mrs. Terrence said.“What?” Mr. Terrence grimaced. “It was her idea to invite Alexander over for dinner which resulted in this wonderful meeting taking place,
After the Possession System had transferred all of Mr. Ferguson’s properties and net worth to him, it had also replaced his name and face in all proof of ownership to Alexander’s and that includes blog articles and documentation of the matter.The Possession System had also covered a veil on everyone’s minds that made them forget that Mr. Ferguson used to be the rightful owner of everything that used to be his and replaced it with Alexander if they ever tried to look up the information.The veil also made inconsistencies in the altered proof of ownership redundant, meaning that anyone who checked the information wouldn’t think twice after seeing that the casino which had been active for longer than Alexander had been alive was somehow founded by him and one other person.In essence, whenever they saw or read anything that used to have Mr. Ferguson’s name and face as the owner of things, they would see Alexander’s which is exactly what happened when Mr. Terrence quickly reached for his
“It’s fine, honey. Alexander is our guest so I don’t see why we can’t break certain eating habits to accommodate him” Mr. Terrence said and his wife groaned. Again, she suspected her husband and his intention for permitting the invite she gave Alexander to come eat with them.Still, she kept quiet and just let things play out.“Well, I’d like to increase the number the estates I’ve built from the cities we’re occupying to other cities in other states as well, creating like a housing franchise. While I’m doing that, I’ve been thinking of entering into other business ventures that’ll be more profitable in the long run” Mr. Terence said and Alexander groaned. “Other business ventures, huh? Which ones do you have in mind?” Alexander asked. Mr. Terrence cleared his throat because he didn’t know how Alexander was going to take what he was about to say.“Well, I was thinking of getting into ventures like the casino business but things like that are quite challenging. You’d need someone wh
“Thank you, Missus Terrence, and don’t mind if I do,” Alexander said then asked Winifred to help him with one of the bowls so he could dish more food for himself. As she gave Alexander the bowl and he started dishing for himself, Mr. Terrence asked “So, Alexander, as I was saying before I was painfully interrupted…”Mrs. Terrence rolled her eyes again while having a smile on her face.“What’s your basketball experience?” Mr. Terrence asked as Alexander gave the bowl back to Winifred to keep while asking her to give him another bowl. “I’ve never played the game before. As a matter of fact, I’ve never been on the court or held the ball before” Alexander replied and Mr. Terrence’s eyes widened.“What about high school? Didn’t your high school have basketball as one of the sports the students played? Surely you got curious about shooting at the hoop at least once or twice” Mr. Terrence said.“Yes, we did have a basketball court as well as other games but I never really got to play” Ale
Both ladies were looking very beautiful. Though Winifred was young and still growing into her looks, she was very beautiful and had an innocent look to her which would make any man’s heart melt. As for Mrs. Terrence, she was the evidence of what the young girl had to look forward to when she was her age. Her face and body were excellently crafted by her creator. “What are you guys talking about?” Mrs. Terrence asked and both Alexander and her husband looked at her and Winifred. “I was just getting to know Alexander a little better is all. Isn’t that right, Alexander?” Mr. Terrence asked and they all looked at Alexander. “That’s right. Mr. Terrence and I were just talking about how I grew up and all. Nothing too serious” Mrs. Terrence looked at her husband suspiciously for a moment. Like Alexander, she too had a feeling that there was a motive behind why he agreed to the dinner invitation but she didn’t think as far as Alexander did to realize the truth so she let it go. “Alrig
“I’m very observant, remember? I could smell your intentions behind asking me all those questions from a mile away” Alexander said and Mr. Terrence groaned as he furrowed his eyebrows.“My intentions?” The man of the house asked.“That’s right. I’m not a father, but if I were, especially a father to a girl child, I wouldn’t just allow a stranger of my stature and build to come into my house just because my daughter wanted to invite them. Knowing how good of a businessman you must be to have what you do, you wouldn’t make such a reckless decision which leaves me to think that the reason why you allowed my invitation to pass is because you wanted to know what type of person you new tenant is, so this is basically a business move disguised as a caring father act” Alexander said and Mr. Terrence kept quiet to listen to the rest of what the young multimillionaire was going to say. “Because it isn’t normal for a person my age to have the amount of money to rent a place here or drive the ki
