He let it ring the first time thinking that the caller might have made a mistake and would not resend the call.After a short while, it rang again and this time he picked it up furiously wondering who it might have been that was bent on disturbing his sleep that very early in the morning.As soon as he got a hold of his phone, he hissed and rolled his eyes upon realizing that it was just his alarm.A few days before Anna rescued him from being crippled by Richard’s bodyguards, his routine for the past few years had required him to wake up very early in the mornings for deliveries.He took up the mid-morning shift and the day shift at the delivery services due to the fact that he was desperate to make ends meet.He dismissed the alarm and sat up, realizing that he couldn't fall asleep anymore.“Man, this delivery job has really messed up my sleeping routine” He thought to himself as he scratched the back of his head, yawning with his mouth wide open.Now that he was fully awake and he
The entire place was arranged and decorated with ornamental flowers of different kinds, from the ceiling to the very floor of the hall. ...the types she liked.The exquisite place was a hall adorned with soft, twinkling fairy lights that draped from the ceiling, which was complemented by the glowing crystal chandeliers that hung down from the ceiling.The reflection of the lights on the floor was magnificent; it was quite obvious that the floors had been thoroughly sprayed and polished.Given how few the tables and chairs were, it almost looked like a dinner party for a very limited number of guests.On almost all sides of the hall were snack tables. The name of the hall was Masa, one of the biggest and most expensive luxury restaurants situated on that side of Midland City.He bought out the entire place for a special event that he wanted to host.He had planned out something grand for that day, and it was all for one person.Staring at the quality of his expenses and slowly nodding
Ana stared at Mia for a second, trying to process what her best friend had just said about the Maximus man...."You know saying such a thing without evidence against a man of such nature is very dangerous right?" She lowered her voice, trying to allow no one else here their conversation."Look, the rumours in this city are always true and if what they say about Maximus being a rapist is real, then I think I would be justified." Mia was about to say something, but a sudden uproar behind them had cut her shut.They both watched as a man engaged his partner in a heated argument, before eventually pouring a milkshake on his head. Mia felt pity for the innocent woman and even though Mia warned her not to move from her seat, she felt the urge to go console her.While taking a seat beside the woman, Mia was about to speak her first word, when she felt her phone buzz through her purse. She excused herself and pulled out the phone to see what was happening. It turned out to be a text message
"We have found critical information about the sister Lucy and apparently, she is admitted in the infamous Star hospital." Wiles listened attentively as his informant spoke on the phone."How many guards are with her?" Wiles asked."Guards? There is no security threat boss, it's almost like the man forgot he had a sister." Hearing those words gave Wiles a glimpse of hope. It was the perfect plan to have to end his sister and destabilize the new heir."Very well then, wait for me right there and I and the men would be with you in a minute." It was the moment he had been waiting for, it almost felt like things were meant to happen this way for him to do all he needed to do.Wiles attempted ringing Maximus, but the line wasn't going through and this made him believe that his boss would have call the shot on Lucy.Heading outside the apartment, some of his men were outside and together they got into the long black vehicle. Wiles had one thing in mind and that was to end it up on one clean
“The maid told me that you haven’t been touching your food. Do you want to die?” Maximus asked his gaze on the direction of the food. “Death is more pleasurable at this point than living.” Victoria replied with ease. Maximus realized that she seemed to have given up and at this point a mere killing of Victoria would simply be in her favor. He didn’t want to kill Victoria, he wanted Victoria to suffer so much pain.“You really think I am going to persuade you to eat your food? If you starve to death, it is your choice.” Maximus finished off and left the dungeon afterwards.Once Maximus was out of sight, Victoria realized that he didn’t have human sympathy. It was slowly beginning to appear to her that Maximus would be the first person to celebrate her death. At first, Victoria had believe death would be the ultimate price for all her suffering, but she refused that option, when she realized that she had Maverick to live for. Victoria knew that she wasn’t going to die and allow his son
"What?!”The wind stopped blowing in their direction as the atmosphere around them became dead silent for a moment.With a confused look on his face, Richard slowly walked up to where Christopher stood “Christopher, do you realise what you’re saying?!”“Yes Richard, weren’t you informed earlier on about the anticipated arrival of your boss this morning?”“No way…….”“The Heir of The Chin Chain Consortium……..Is really you?!”“Correct!”Richard’s mind travelled back to the time when Christopher ’s name was announced on the night of that business meeting party as the new Heir to the one and only Chin Chain Consortium.The biggest and the best within and beyond the fore walls of Midland City.Was it actually true?“But…..But I thought it was all a lie…….”“A well scripted scheme……”“How did all this happen?…..When?”Upon the shocking realisation he had just met, Richard became even more and more confused by the minute.All of this seemed so unbelievable to him but the truth was in plain s
CHAPTER 103Please take down his details and show him his way around his duties”“Yes Mr. Christopher”And just like that, Richard got a new job.Christopher walked out of the office and proceeded to make his way out of the building, his work for the day was finally over.“So Mr. Richard, I’ll need you to fill in these…... .Please hold on” Richard abruptly interrupted the man in the office as he hurriedly made his way out of the place.Just as Christopher was about to use the main exit, he heard someone calling out to him.“Christopher! Christopher!”Christopher could instantly tell that the voice belonged to none other than Richard especially since he was the only person who referred to him as Christopher.Nobody else in the office would dare to.“Yes Richard, is there a problem?”“Thank you…….I just wanted to thank you”“I feel so terrible, over the past few years, I’ve been nothing but cruel to”Richard was close to tears as he expressed his gratitude towards Christopher “How do I
Christopher continued to narrate to Mia how he first met Richard in the restaurant and coincidentally met him again at his company. “He was even more surprised than I was, can you imagine the shock we had on our faces” “Woah…….I never really imagined that things woulds go that far Christopher” “Me neither, I feel so terrible for what I did” “At least you owned up to your actions by doing the right thing……..That’s all that really matters now” “You cannot continue to dwell in your past regrets” Mia always had a way of making Christopher feel less guilty for his actions whenever he did something without a justification. “To be very honest, I should’ve never even done what I in the first place” “I was so blinded by my thirst for revenge that I couldn’t even point out the difference between what exactly was right and what was wrong” “Chrissy…….Don’t say that” “It wasn’t actually your fault……..His actions compelled you to take whatever step you did” “Basically, Richard was the roo
