apartment to take a look when he noticed that people were running up and down, to and fro. It was 12: 25 in the middle of the night and no one seemed to be asleep. The breeze was way heavier than usual and it was ripping apart people’s rooftops, breaking down trees and blowing items around. And finally, a heavy downpour began. The rain began pouring so severely that Nathan was forced to close the doors and other windows of his house. But it was to no avail. The heavy wind broke though and his house began to collapse. Water was gushing in. He quickly gathered his valuables like his iPhone, a few clothes and some cash, his documents, his exclusive card and other items and stuffed them into his go bag. Why was there a sudden downpour and why was it this heavy? Did the weather forecast even predict this? Nathan looked at his home. It was getting really messed up. The level water was rising. He took a final glance at his house before leaving for good. This was going to be his fin

The little girl was bleeding severely from her leg and whimpering in the cold. The water was splashing directly onto her skin, making it even more difficult for her to bear the excruciating pain. “Oh shit! Can you lift your leg?” Nathan stooped down low and tried to help her. But it was obvious that the little girl was dying already. A heavy brick had fallen on her and there was no way he could push it away by himself. “Damn it! Hold on, little girl. I’m coming right back!” Nathan hurried back to the car and called the driver to help him raise the little girl. “Look! I’m not helping you do no shit! You paid me to drive you somewhere despite the heavy flood. We are halfway through and now you want to cut the journey to help a girl you don’t even know? Let her die. She won’t be the first!” The driver spat arrogantly with no trace of empathy. “Have you no conscience? There’s a little girl that needs help out there and all you care about is..” “..is my money! I want my money. It

“Oh good lord, young master! You almost gave me a heart attack! I’ve been trying to…” “Forget all that, Fred. I’m in Lawson hospital at the moment with a little girl who is badly hurt. The staff here don’t seem to be so nice. This little girl is dying and they deprive her of emergency treatment because of my appearance! What can you do about it?” Nathan asked quickly, turning back to look at the little girl. “Young master. You have a good heart. Now listen. They have made a terribly big mistake and they will pay for it dearly today. Please give me a few minutes to fix the issue.” Fred said enthusiastically and ended the call. He too was seemingly angry, so angry that Nathan was a bit concerned about what he might do. Fred was the type of person who took things to the extreme. He believed in revenge and will not rest until he makes sure that his pokes his poker right in the brain. Nathan wasn’t the only person carrying that weight and entertaining that fury. Everyone was und

The lady’s dress, in a subtle shade of blue or gray, exuded authority and competence while still maintaining elegance. As she stormed into the hospital with guards by her side, her attire commanded attention, making a powerful impression on everyone around. “It’s her. The manager! She’s like a goddess!” “Is she here to save us? My daughter is dying!” “She doesn’t look bothered. I hope she does something quick before I loose my dear wife!” The Nurse on the reception desk quickly lowered her head and greeted her madam with so much respect that her hands were shaking. Other staff also bowed to greet her. Miss Lilly, the manager of Lawson is known to be a rude and aggressive woman. She was a no nonsense woman and was far from kind. She treats her staff rudely and orders them around like they are slaves. But despite her ill manners, she tries to remain calm and respectful with her clients because bad reports from the hospital will damage her reputation and she might end up lo

“I said…!” The man in the suit roared with so much anger. As he stood just in front of the door, his strong presence was felt to the ends of the reception area. He wasn’t alone. Over 9 guards also strapped in suits were stationed beside him. These guards were so muscular that their biceps and abs were screaming aloud, wanting to rip through their dresses. Everyone turned to Lady Lily to see her reaction. Her reaction shook everyone right off their feet. “Is she kneeling down?” “No! She’s bowing. Why’s that? How’s that possible?” “Who’s this man?!” One by one, all the other staffs in the building stopped whatever they were doing and knelt down before the man in the suit. Even the Nurse. The only people who didn’t get on their knees were the patients and other people who had little or knowledge of the man in the suit. Another person who didn’t kneel was Nathan. Nathan was far from kneeling down. In fact, he was shocked. The powerful man in suit ignored everyone and as so

Everyone gasped in extreme shock. Their mouths were literally wide open. Lady Lily walked up to Fred, making sure she kept a good distance. “Um.. master Fred, I’m sure there is a mixup here, some sort of misunderstanding! Um you see, this young man is just a regular customer and I’m sure he probably only had his appearance and nothing else!” Lily said, shaking. Fred turned to Nathan. “Young master, how do you intend to punish this insolence? Your wish is my command, sir!” Fred said humbly, making everyone even more confused. “Did he just bow before that boy?” “What’s going on!” Nathan then cleared his throat. He already knew just what he wanted and today he would teach everyone around him a lesson. Especially the nurses and doctors who were partial. But most of all, he would make Lily pay! “Tonight, Lily loses her job and must be replaced by a better manager. Fire her! And fire this ill mannered receptionist behind me. The hospital is short of employees. I want as many

“What?!” Nathan asked in astonishment. He tried to hide his surprise, but it was evident that he was really taken aback. “Tell me, Fred. Just how rich am I?” Nathan settled down to think about the possibility of being so rich that almost every company belongs to him. But this was beyond imagination. It was all real. It wasn’t an illusion or some type of trans. He wasn’t dreaming. Everything was real. “Let’s just say you won’t be able to imagine it, young master. This is just one of your many Estates across London!” Fred said and smiled at the young man. He was getting fond of him and admired his humility. Soon, the convoy stopped at a duplex, but it wasn’t a house. It was more of a company. They stepped down and already standing there in front of their parked car was a woman, a man and a few other neatly dressed individuals. As soon as Fred and Nathan stepped down, they lowered their heads to show their respect. “Hey Ann! How was the flood here? It seems it didn’t get

Ann was excited hearing that expression come from Nathan. She found satisfaction knowing that Nathan loved the apartment. The building was heaven on earth. The sitting room was an excellently constructed space with sleek, modern furnishings and tasteful decor. The walls were adorned with vibrant paintings and elegant sculptures, adding a touch of sophistication to the space. Plush sofas and armchairs beckoned invitingly, promising comfort and relaxation after a long day from school. It was breathtaking. The sitting room flowed seamlessly into the dining area, where a gleaming table surrounded by cushioned chairs awaited. A crystal chandelier hung overhead, casting a warm glow over the room and adding a touch of glamour to the space. That was the type of dining experience where each bite of food was like a taste of elegance. Ann walked Nathan to the kitchen. That was another wonder to behold. The kitchen was a chef's dream, equipped with state-of-the-art appliances and ample

Then, he pointed to some images of some really big and influential business men and women along with top tier kids with the X mark on them with a marker paint? Or blood? It didn’t matter. The message was clear. “Listen, Kamsi, the world is a gameboard,” Donald said, his tone cold and deliberate. “And every single player is either an asset or a liability. Those marked here…” —he gestured to the images with red Xs— “were liabilities. People who stood in the way of progress. My progress. And now, they’re nothing. Pew… Vanished like thin air!” Kamsi’s eyes scanned the board. She recognized some faces—politicians, CEOs, heirs to fortunes. People who, at one point, seemed untouchable. Yet here they were, reduced to mere trophies on Donald’s twisted scoreboard. “So, this is your playbook?” she asked, her voice laced with a mix of curiosity and disdain. “You decide who lives and who dies?” Donald smiled, a dark and knowing expression. “Not quite. I don’t kill for sport, Kamsi. I kill

“Where are you going child?” Asked Donald. Kamsi paused and turned around. “I’m going to kill Alex,” She said flatly. “Since you are not going to do anything even though I’ve told you all the things he did to me. So, I am going to take matters into my own hands!” Donald smiled and scoffed. He got up from his office chair, walked to the front of his table and sat on it. “Tell me how exactly you plan to do that child! You’re gonna just show up to his face and put a bullet through his skull?” He asked. “Well, yes. That is exactly what I am doing. I don’t think you understand the things he did to me. Every night for years I cried my lungs out! You’re becoming too weak and…” “Shh…” Donald shushed her and walked towards her. Then, he placed her head on his chest. “Let it out kid. Let it out.” “Now… now my fucking brother is dead and I was not the one who killed him. I deserved to be the one to take his life, Donald!” Kamsi's voice cracked as she buried her face in his chest.

“Who the fuck are you?” cried the dude in pain as he managed to pick himself up and ran away. Emily, seeing that their attack and defense system was weak, began to back off. “Fuck you! You are fighting for this ugly, bitch. This is not new to her, stupid. Her boyfriend does worse every day. Good luck saving her from herself and from her boyfriend. You are a fool!” Emily then ran along with the rest of them. Those words rang in Mr. Frost’s ear over and over again, ‘Her boyfriend does worse everyday!’ That explained so much. So much. Her innocent smile, the bag beneath her eye, the hesitation in her voice, and the way she deflected kindness—it all made sense now. Mr. Frost clenched his fists, his sharp mind processing every detail with surgical precision. He turned to Clara, who was slumped on the ground, her arms shielding her face as though bracing for more blows. “Clara,” he said softly, his tone stripped of its usual calculation, replaced with genuine concern. “It’s over. Yo

Emily glared at her but said nothing, muttering under her breath as she stalked off. Clara watched her leave, then returned to him with a faint, embarrassed smile. “I’m sorry about that. She’s… well, she can be difficult.” “It’s not your fault,” he replied, sipping his water. “But I appreciate your intervention.”Clara hesitated, then leaned slightly closer, lowering her voice. “You know, I couldn’t help but notice how calmly you handled that. Most people would’ve made a scene.” He smirked faintly, the corner of his mouth twitching upward. “I’ve learned that making a scene rarely solves anything. Besides, it wasn’t worth the energy.” Clara nodded, studying him for a moment before straightening up. “Well, if you need anything else, just call for me.” Before she turned to leave, he stopped her. “Here, my card. If you want, I could fix you up to something tonight or anytime you are free. There are like just two of you left in this world and I feel compelled to compensate you! My na

He walked into the restaurant, blending seamlessly into the mundane hum of everyday life. His attire was plain—a worn jacket, a modest button-down shirt, and slacks that spoke of a man who had neither wealth nor prestige. It was all part of the act. He moved with an unassuming grace, each step measured, each movement calculated to ensure no one looked twice. Sliding into a seat near the window, he scanned the room. The clink of cutlery, the murmur of quiet conversations, and the occasional burst of laughter filled the air. It was a world that seemed to forget its troubles, even if just for a while. A young waiter approached, her notepad in hand. “Your order, sir?” she asked flatly, her tone betraying a routine she had repeated countless times that day and other days and probably all her life as a teenager. He looked up at her, a soft smile on his face, his eyes crinkling just enough to seem harmless. “Water,” he said simply. Her pen paused midair, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

“Mr. Donald, tell us, is it true?” “Are all the accusations true?” “Is it true that you orchestrated the death of Nathan Reed? That you put a bomb on his chopper?” “The public needs and answer, Mr. Aruthur!” Donald ignored all the questions, walking into the building facility like he was truly guillty, his face as stiff as the knot of his tie and the belt around his waist. He went straight into the reception area, his personal security walking besides and behind him, and then he demanded to see the CEO, Samuel Langford. Donald had so many reasons to point fingers at Samuel for the incident that happened to Nathan. He had every cause to believe that Samuel planned every detail so it would expose him to the world. After all, they were having an intense feud as he owed the Langfords over 100 Million Euros. “Sorry sir, you can not see Mr. Langford at the moment. He is occupied and is not accepting visitors that are not family members or important friends. And you would need

“Please, Emma! Please, I… I have to leave here! You can not keep me here like an animal. It’s been 3 weeks! Why are you doing this to me? As revenge? You know that you are the one in the wrong. You stole my fiance’s heart from me and…” “Sh… shhh!” Emma shushed her slowly, passing her meal through the lock box. Vanessa was getting wildly slim. She looked like a disaster in the body of a dejected camel craving for a drop of water from the sky, its neck stretched out and elongated. The once pretty, sleek Vanessa was now a shadow of her former self when she was still in abject poverty and suffering. “Come on now, Vanessa. You are asking the wrong questions and making the wrong lamentations. Don’t you wonder where your fiance has been all these weeks? Why he has not found you or called out an intense search. Guess what? He thinks you just went on a trip and he doesn’t fucking care about you, Vanessa!” Emma roared slyly. Vanessa clenched her fists together as she tried to control her

Dr. Hearst finally broke his silence, his voice calm but unsettling. “Donald is right about one thing—this isn’t random. Someone planned this, and they knew exactly what they were doing. A man like Nathan Reed doesn’t just… vanish unless someone wants him gone. But the real question is: why frame us?” Vivian crossed her arms, her sharp gaze fixed on the doctor. “You mean to tell me someone orchestrated all this just to spark a war between us and the Reeds’ allies? What kind of lunatic does that?” “One who stands to gain from it,” Hearst replied, his tone icy. A tense silence filled the room, thick with suspicion and paranoia. Donald broke it with a guttural growl. “Fine. I’ll find out who did it. And when I do, I’ll make sure they regret the day they were born. Nobody crosses Donald Arthur and gets away with it. Because I am already receiving calls and many of my investors and clients are withdrawing their funds from my company! I am going down!” He pointed to Enrique. “You are

CHAPTER 363
“Breaking News! The city of London is reeling in shock and dismay as it faces one of the most heartbreaking losses in recent memory. Following the unprecedented open apology issued by Nathan Reed to Donald Arthur for disrupting his daughter’s wedding—a move that had already left many questioning his intentions—tragedy has struck in the most unimaginable way. Reports confirm that the private chopper carrying Nathan Reed, one of London’s most influential businessmen, exploded mid-air shortly after takeoff earlier today. Alongside Reed, the pilot and an unidentified passenger were also aboard the aircraft. Authorities have stated that there are no survivors. This catastrophic event comes on the heels of a series of baffling actions by Reed. Just weeks ago, he paid an eye-popping 100 million euros as compensation to Arthur, freed members of the Davenport family who were previously arrested, and was last seen visiting Donald Arthur’s estate in a surprising public gesture of reconciliati
