“Sure, April.” Nathan replied. “Are you truly that Bunny dude? Tell me the truth!” She asked. Nathan sighed silently. “No! No I am not. Come on, you want to compare me to that crazily rich guy?” He replied. April went silent for a while. She had confirmed that Nathan was not the Bunny guy. That guy felt like a god. So hard to reach, yet his influence was felt so closely. “I heard that you were released. Look, I know you are not a thief. Dave was the person who framed you. He hates you so much, Nathan and I hear he is planning to do away with the Humble guy. If you are involved in any of this, please, stay away. You are a good guy and you don’t deserve to be treated badly!” April said. Nathan just stood there, speechless, his phone held up against his ear. April truly cared about him. He saw it the day she stood in for him when Dave was trying to bully him. She stood up for him and had a sudden burst of bravery. That was remarkable. It was something Amanda never had. “Um,

“Hey, Neil! Neil, wait up!” Nathan called out, running after Neil who had his AirPods on. After running for a while, he met up with him and stopped him. He was already panting from running that hard. “Hey bro! You gotta keep those AirPods back into their houses. They could get you killed someday.” Nathan said, panting. Neil looked at Nathan. Different emotions encamped around his face. He pushed away any intrusive thoughts and just opened his arms to hug his bro. Nathan was surprised. He had expected Neil to be angry and upset with him. The hug felt good though. “Look, Neil, I am so sorry and I…” “I believe you!” Neil suddenly cut in. “Huh? You mean you believe that I am not a robber?” Nathan asked. Neil nodded yes in response. “Look, man. I’m sorry I doubted you! I just couldn’t believe that any one could be this fucking rich overnight and I still don’t know how you were able to afford that ride, bro. But if there is one thing I am certain of, it’s that my bro a

Cheng bar always held up to it’s magnificient legacy. The building was itself was a big tourist center for poeple who loved to have a great time drinking. It also had a few rooms where guests could spend the night! Adrian sat alone on his barstool, gulping down his champange when Anastasia walked up to him and grabbed a seat right next to him. “You make choices quickly and that is a really smart thing to do, beauty!” Adrian was the first to speak up. “Hi, Mr. Humble Bunny.” Anastasia said bluntly and ordered a glass of red wine and began to sip into her glass of wine. She said nothing more to Adrian, her appearance was loud enough to have sent any message she wanted to deliver. She wore an explicit silk red dress that clung to her body, accentuating her curves, with a plunging neckline that left little to the imagination. Her makeup was flawless. She was a naturally beautifully born lady, but whenever she plastered makeup on her face, she looked like a goddess. Adrian raised

The man was a legend and was the most ambitious man in the planet. As Nathan drove through the streets of NexGen, all eyes were on his Lamborghini. It was a breath taking sight to behold. He navigated his way through the conglomerate successfully and his car was taken from him right at the main gate to the main terminal. This was the company’s protocol to avoid any security breaches. After confirming that he indeed had a scheduled meeting with sir Elon, he was placed into another car where he would go to the main building where the upper echelons’ office were. As soon as Nathan stepped into the building, he gasped in total shock. This company really stood up to its name; Next Generation Lab

“I beg your pardon, Mr. Fred. I will do anything within my power to retain our relationship. If I have wronged you, I am truly sorry!” Mr. Lynch begged profusely. Fred sighed. “My boss, sir Nathan Reed has given a direct order and there is nothing I can do. Pay back those shares by evening or your company would be shut down for good!” He said coldly. Mr. Lynch suddenly went on his knees. “You can’t do this to me, sir Fred. I have never defaulted you before, have I? Surely, there must be an alternative that Mr. Reed had on the table.” Fred had given Mr. Lynch a hard time and has pushed him to a very tight corner. This was the plan. “Here is the deal, Mr. Lynch. Mr. Reed has two offers for you. First, you pay up the shares worth $200 Billion and you can have a good life ahead of you. Second…” he paused. “I’m all ears Mr. Fred. I will definitely opt in for the second option. I have no choice.” Mr Lynch admitted. “Secondly, we buy your company from you, employ you as the man

“Hello, sir Elon!” Nathan walked up to him and gave him a firm handshake. Mr. Elon was a well-built man physically. From his biography, Nathan read that he came from nothing and had to build his way to the top. This made them even in a way. They both knew what it meant to have a bite of sand. “Sir, permit me, but I am guessing you have the wrong person.” the man at the receptionist did not back down. He was hellbent on exposing Nathan Reed. He walked up to Mr. Elon with the tablet in his hand and showed the news headline to Mr. Elon. “I might be the only one who knows it is definitely him because I have a good eye for recognizing people. You have to believe me, sir. This is him!” Jeff insisted. Mr. Elon took the tablet from his hand and examined the image carefully, then he handed the iPad to Nathan. “I see people are getting good with photo editing these days, Nathan. Have you sued this AdvaC yet? They need to be wiped clean from existence. Their greed got the best of them

"Breaking News! Man Found Dead in a Guest Inn at Cheng Bar! This morning, authorities discovered the lifeless body of Adrian Sinclair, a young man who worked at ReyLux, in his room at Cheng Bar's guest inn. The cause of death appears to be a gunshot wound to the head. Police are currently investigating the incident and have not yet identified any suspects." Anastasia's face was expressionless as she watched the news report on the TV. It was time to move on; she had done what needed to be done. What she did not understand though was why Adrain was not addressed as the billionaire she knew him to be. Why did the news reporter say he worked at ReyLux? Was he not the owner of the company itself? Probably an error from the news reporter and nothing else. “So unfortunate for the young man. He must have had dreams and aspirations. I wonder who would do such a terrible thing to him. I hope they get caught and are properly handled.” Mrs. Hearst, Anastasia’s mother enunciated sadly. “No!

Clara felt a lump in her throat, unsure if it was from relief or fear. “I just… I don’t want you to get hurt because of me.” Frost gave her a sidelong glance, his tone light but with an edge of determination. “I’ve been hurt worse, trust me. And I’ve survived. Broderick isn’t the storm, Clara. He’s just a cloud. He doesn’t know it yet, but the real storm’s already here.” Clara’s mind raced with thoughts and emotions swirling like a storm. She wanted to ask more, to dig deeper into Frost's past, but something held her back. There was a gravity in his demeanor, a sense that his scars were his own to bear, and prying too much would only push him further away. The car turned onto a quiet, tree-lined road, the city’s lights fading behind them. Clara could feel the tension easing slightly, though her heart still pounded with residual fear. She looked at Frost again, her voice trembling. "Frost... why are you helping me? You barely know me." He glanced at her, his expression softening f

The car ride was smooth and queer. They drove past the street lights as they illuminated on Mr. Frost’s car. Clara placed her head on the window to absorb everything that had happened that day. She took a moment to ponder over just how close she was to losing her life. She was this close, as a pin next to an inflated balloon. Then, she tilted her head to Frost. She did not know what to say, how to react, or even what to think. Was she falling for him or was her soft heart melting away, replacing her brain? She couldn’t tell. But one thing was sure; the man driving the car; the man who fought for her at her workplace came out of thin air and saved her life. The future was bleak and Clara did not know who this Frost guy was or what power he possessed, but she was truly scared. She had seen Brod at his most ruthless state. Brod plays with humans’ body parts for fun. He was not so far from being a carnivore. What he would do to her and Frost was unclear, a dream she would never want

The truck, top-heavy with crates of eggs, tipped dangerously as Nathan fought to regain control. His heart pounded in his chest, the steering wheel jerking under his grip. But it was no use—he couldn’t stop it. The truck skidded, flipped over the embankment, and tumbled into the ditch below. Nathan lay there, trapped in the cab, his head throbbing from the impact. The sound of eggs smashing and metal groaning filled his ears, but over it all, he could hear Broderick’s cruel laughter. The rich boy stood at the edge of the embankment, looking down at Nathan with a smug smile on his face. "Ere now, Nathan! You're a right ol' nobody! Just a bleedin' charity case, ya 'ear me? You'll never be part of our set, old chap. You're just a poor, unwashed urchin, not worthy of polishing our silverware. Do accept your station in life, Nathan, and don't bother trying to rise above your betters. You'll always be a lowlife, Nathan, so get used to it, ya wretched little blighter!” Broderick sneered b

Mr. Frost’s lips curled into a cold smile. “You’re right. I don’t. And I don’t need to. But you know exactly who you’ve messed with tonight.” He tilted the chainsaw ever so slightly closer, making Brod flinch. “Now, crawl away like the worm you are. And remember—this is your one and only warning.” Brod scrambled to his feet, his bravado utterly crushed. He hobbled away, muttering curses under his breath but never daring to look back. The crowd parted, some recording on their phones, others cheering softly. Clara’s heart thundered in her chest as she watched him disappear into the darkness. Mr. Frost turned to her, his expression softening ever so slightly. He offered her a hand, and for a moment, she hesitated. But as her trembling fingers met his, she felt a strange sense of safety. “Are you alright?” he asked, his voice gentle now, a stark contrast to the steel in it moments ago. Clara nodded, her voice barely above a whisper. “I—I think so. Thank you.” He studied her momentar

Brod chuckled nervously, trying to mask his growing unease. “Do you know who I am? Do you know what I can do to you? You’re just some fool with a car and a bad attitude.” Mr. Frost took another step forward, his dark coat billowing slightly in the evening breeze. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small device. “No. I do not know who you are and I do not care. You also do not know who I am. If you did, you would shrink into a withered dick like the one inside your pants!” Those words angered Brod, hurting him deeply. He had never been spoken to in that manner. So, he left his victim alone and ran towards the man threatening him. He was going to teach him a lesson: rabbits do not play rough with snakes. As soon as he was close enough, Brod reached out to dice his head, but Mr. Frost quickly dodged it, and then he smashed Brod on the leg, sending him to the ground. With that one little, insignificant kick, Broderick sprawled to the ground, bursting into a sudden scream wh

Clara hid, making sure she did not make a sound or he would destroy her life finally. “Asshole! Where are you? Come out now or I’ll slice your throat when I see you!!” He screamed, holding a knife in his hand. He was really not bluffing. Slicing people's throats was not a new thing to him. He had done so much more. He had been arrested over and over again. But his rich dad would always bail him out. “Murder is in my blood!” He said out loud. “And you know this, yet you chose to allow another man to drive you and even have sex with you!!” He roared, scattering the room. From where she hid, Clara could only pray for her almost lifeless soul. Sex?! She barely even knew the guy, not to mention that she blatantly rejected his offer to help her. The truth is, Clara liked his personality. She couldn’t even recall his name, but he made a lasting impression on her. He literally fought for her at her workplace, something that nobody, not even her so-called boyfriend, had ever done.

The sky was beautiful. It always had been, and it always would be. But today, Mr. Frost took some time to admire the sun. He sat quietly, crossed his legs, and let out a heavy sigh, sipping his cocktail, feeling the cool air brush his face. It was refreshing, but it only brought back memories—sad ones. He stared out into the vast horizon, wishing for something more, something to end the emptiness that had consumed him. Beside him were three empty chairs: one to his left, another to his right, and one directly in front of him. One was for Kamsi, the other for his wife, Candace, and the last for Fred—the only man who had ever been more than an assistant. Fred had been a father to him, a rock in his storm. They were all gone now. Kamsi, alive, but slowly fading, and Fred and Candace—probably watching him from the heavens. It had been months, even years. He had fought, fought with everything in him, trying to move on, but his life was far from happy. It was as if he were living someo

The girl didn’t flinch. “No, sir. But I know you’re someone who can afford to buy a pen. Maybe even two.” Samuel smirked, impressed by her quick wit. “Clever. Fine, I’ll take one. How much?” “Fifty dollars.” Chris nearly choked on his saliva. “Fifty?! For a pen? Is it made of gold?!” Samuel chuckled darkly. “Fifty dollars for a pen. Bold move. I like that.” He pulled out his wallet, handed her a crisp hundred-dollar bill, and waved off her attempt to give him change. “Keep it,” he said. “Consider it an investment in your entrepreneurial spirit. Or your acting career—whichever comes first.” The girl nodded, slipping the money into her pocket. “Thank you, sir. May your enemies always trip over their own feet.” Samuel let out a sharp laugh. “I like her.” He watched as she disappeared into the crowd. “Chris, remind me to hire her in ten years if she doesn’t end up running the world by then.” “Yes, sir,” Chris grumbled as he hit the accelerator. “And remind me to install tinted win
