Nathan drove into NexGen Labs with so much confident and enthusiasm. NexGen was tagged the most expensive conglomerate in the planet. It was like a city on its own - a city of the world’s smartest people. Nathan was humbled by the massive space of NexGen. His respect for Elon quadrupled. 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
“Dear final year students of Luxton University, you are the backbone of this college and you have stayed with us from your first year all the way to your last. Please, applaud your patience!” Mrs. Heather announced excitedly. The whole final year students who amounted to 523 all cheered in unison. They were finally coming to the final years of their miserable and demanding and beautiful life in college. They truly never thought this period would ever come “Now, your final exams will commence in a month’s time after which you can finally throw away all your academic resources like your textbooks and notes, and celebrate the end of this chapter of your lives,” Mrs. Heather continued, her smile beaming with pride. “But remember, these exams are crucial. They are the culmination of all your hard work and dedication over the years.”The students erupted into another wave of applause, excitement and anxiety mingling in their cheers. Mrs. Heather held up her hand to signal for silen
“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!
“We are truly, Sir. Reed, but we really tried eveything we could to save his life, but nature had to take over.” Doctor Foster said. Nathan wept losely, but Kamsi cried even more. Her grandfather was the best man on the planet and just when she was getting to know him on a more personal level, he left her alone. She stood beside Papa Sam’s lifeless body. Fred did not say a word. He knew deep down that Papa Sam was going to die soon. The old man was already clocking 100 and that was more than enough time for a human to live on the earth. “He lived a well fulfilled life, Mr. Reed and I can only say that it was his time. He is in a better place. He was a good man.” Doctor Foster declared. Nathan sighed. He never really got time to bond with the old man. But the doctor was right in saying that his grandfather had lived a long time on earth. He looked at his corpse. He still looked as strong as yesterday. “Rest well, granddad!” Nathan exclaimed. It was a tough moment for him. A
Nathan walked up to the man and demanded to know what was going on. The man simply looked at him and his anger even worsened. “And who the fuck are you?” the man replied angrily. “I am a peace maker and I demand to know why you would want to hit a woman on her head. Not just any woman, your own wife. Who does that?” Nathan asked gently, his voice as firm and stoic as his posture. “I give you three seconds to leave this place or…” “My dad always beats my mom. He said she stole $2 Million from his account and that is a lie. My mother would never do that. He is threatening to divorce her.” the young boy said bravely, clutching his mother’s hand with every ounce of strength in his body. The abusive man was about to raise his fist to hit his son, but Nathan quickly intercepted by grabbing his hand before he could hit the young boy. From the way Nathan firmly gripped the man’s hand, everyone around knew that Nathan was stronger despite being the younger one. His grip was so firm
The man was shaking. He clutched his phone tightly and refused to release it to Nathan. “You know what? Fuck you! Who gave you the authority to be judge over my family? Are you even a fucking lawyer or a cop?” the man spat, his voice trembling with a mix of anger and fear. Nathan remained calm, his gaze unwavering. “I’m neither, but I am someone who values justice and integrity. Now, hand over your phone. We had an agreement.” The crowd around them murmured, the tension in the air was getting thicker. They already knew that the bastard was the one with the same money he was looking for. His body movements were clearly expressed. Suddenly, he raised his hand and smashed his phone on the ground, shattering it to a hundred pieces. “There you have it, loser. What do you have on me now? I am fucking innocent. What will you tell the police when you have no proof. If you need my phone, there it is on the floor lying next to your fucking leg.” the man laughed and was about to move, but t
