'Come on, let's go… Be strong!" Brenda Wilson the strange lady said. However, Gary wasn't falling for it this time, he had every reason to doubt her. First of all, she had come out of nowhere, sat beside him and pretended to understand his plight and now she was offering to take him back to where he was coming from. "Never mind, I need to get some other things before heading home, so I guess you should leave first." Gary said with a flat tone. However, Brenda was in no way giving up either, yea! She did seem like she had something up her sleeve but no one knew. "Come on Gary, I feel for you, you absolutely shouldn't face this you currently are facing, let's go make things right." "Who are you? Just tell me who you are!" Gary finally yelled at the top of his voice. "A friend of course," she smiled indifferently. "A friend! How? You don't even know me, you don't know where I come from, you don't know me, so who the hell are you then?" However, Brenda took a few steps forward, sq
Gary walked In with all confidence, he had thought Brenda was really backing him up, a s the fact that he was seen as small and insignificant as his wife's family, and they all berated him, he felt that was just about to change. The last statement caught on their lips the moment he walked in was the fact that Alora finally agreed to the divorce.However the moment he walked in, everyone of them had gone numb. On the other hand, he tried to remain calm and collected, but the insults and jabs of the past were too much to bear."I can't believe you would do something so stupid, and still return here," somebody had said. "You should know better than to disrespect our family like this."However, Gary had thought he won when someone finally recognised the person behind him. "Are you an accomplice now Brenda!"Gary was forced to turn his head around in confusion. "Brenda, what's happening?"Brenda however smiled, in return, she walked forward and said. "Of course Gary. I obviously will nev
The next morning, Gary had breakfast in his grandfather's mansion. It was really the first time in many years he was having such large breakfasts. The previous years had honestly been tough for him.He made his way down the grand staircase, admiring the ornate chandelier that hung above the foyer.As he entered the dining room, he was taken aback by the grandeur of the space. The room was vast and filled with natural light, streaming in from the large windows that overlooked the perfectly manicured gardens outside. The table was laid out with crisp white linen, and there were elaborate flower arrangements placed at regular intervalsNot that alone, but the table was large enough unlike that of the Larson's and that brought back some memories. Where he could vividly remember how badly he was treated when it got to meals.Throughout the time he was married to Sandra, he never in his entire life ate at the dinning, it was either at the kitchen or in his bedroom."If only they knew, they
"Thief!" A voice said out of nowhere and everyone, from Gary to the sales representative was forced to look back."Are you surprised? Of course you are a thief." Gaey couldn't help it, throughout the time he lived with the Larson's he could tell he never took anything that was never placed in his custody instead, they had always been the one picking on him.Sandra's mom would always make sure she collects ten percent from each salary he earned. Now, Raphael was right before him tagging him as a thief."Raphael! I am not a thief and you know that." Gary said with no manner of fear in his voice."You are not a thief! Then how did my clothes constantly go missing? You said you aren't a thief then how the hell does my money disappear? Oh! I know you mean to say that somebody else had taken those money when you were actually the one in charge of laundering. Isn't it?" Raphael increased his pace towards the lobby , while on the other hand, many of the sales representatives who were less bus
While the sales girl kept trying the cards, the manager remembered Gary's face.In the past, both of them had attended the same secondary school, but then Gary had been made the head captain while he remained a regular student. Even though he was also brilliant, both kids always competed for the first place , but then the teachers had taken more preference to Gary due to some other qualities which he imbibed and no other students did.All along, back then, Mr Powell had always picked on Gary, but then Gary escaped his grisp due to the teacher's intervention.However, the same Gary of years back who was always well dressed and well composed was dressed in a common plain t-shirt, with a mere palm wear.To Mr Wilson, it was as though the hands of time had turned and now, he was in a more comfortable position to deal with Gary.At least he could take out all his frustration on him. Hence, he also hoped that the cards never worked so he could call the cops to deal with Gary.Hence, the mo
"Grandpa, that card was blown, you should have let me be if I would be given a vague card just to set my hopes up." The following day, Gary was still furious. The embarrassment from the previous day was still over him. Never in his life had he thought of getting to prison, but with this so-called new life of his, he had finally landed in prison. The following day, his grandfather requested Gary's presence in his office, hence he ended up spilling out his concerns. "It was a mistake, Gary, I had given you an expired card, instead of the new one Steve collected from the bank for your sake." "Grandpa, I'm sorry, but if this new life would lead me to the worst places I've ever been, I would rather remain with my previous identity. At least, I'm still a part of your family, your blood and your flesh." Gary voiced out in terror. Flashback…. Just a few hours he stayed in prison seemed like hell to him. Rogelio had specially instructed the cops that Gary must be dealt with. Hence, Gary
Gary had just finished admiring the towering building of the company he had always dreamed of working for. He took a deep breath and turned around, ready to walk through the doors and start his first day at work.However, just as he was about to take his first step, he felt a tap on his shoulder and a voice inclusive. Only to turn around to see Brenda Wilson, the same lady who had behaved as though she was his friend a few days ago, but had finally joined his in-laws to insult him. And there she was again standing with a smug grin on her face."Hey, Gary," Brenda said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "What are you doing here? Did you get lost on your way to the coffee shop?"Gary rolled his eyes. Brenda had always been the type to mock others to boost her ego."I'm starting my new job here," Gary replied, trying to sound confident even though he felt a knot forming in his stomach.Brenda's grin widened. "Oh really? And what makes you think they would hire someone like you?"Gary gri
The air was thick with anticipation as Mr. Winfield, the vice chairman, stood up to make an announcement."Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I have an important announcement to make. An important decision was made by the former president which I would love to relay you all."At that point, all the board members were quite attentive ready to heat what the urgent call for the meeting was all about."So from today henceforth, the president would be stepping down," There was quite mumuring amongst everyone."Huh! Who would control the whole organization then? He still has the largest share.""Is he planning on selling it out?" Another person asked confusingly.However, Mr Winfield cleared the air and said. "He is stepping down, but a new person would be appointed at the same. And that's Gary the grandson of Mr Carter, he would be the next president of our company from this time on.""What!" One of the board members yelled out in great concern. At that moment, the board meeting had bee
