Alex's blood ran cold as he stared at the message in front of him. He could not believe that Nancy could actually be the one behind everything. Immediately, he found a way to jiggle out of his woman embrace and went to the kitchen to make a call. As soon as he entered, he saw his men watching a football game and he immediately told them to lowered the volume of it. "What's going on?" Hayden asked as he lowered the volume of the game. "I need to make a call." "No, what you need to do is to cuddle Ivy while she sleeps " Dustin said, standing up an walking towards him. "She is already fast asleep. Trust me. This is equally as important." He said as he placed a call to the commissioner. "Commissioner, talk to me, what is actually going on?" Alex asked. "Exactly what I sent to you." He said. "Who did this test?" "Trust me sir. We are not lukewarm and incompetent over here. I had that test done by people who actually know what they are doing and for it to come out this way, it mean
Outside The Elite Hotel stood a tall and handsome man, looking at his phone that kept ringing. "Hello, is that Alexander Albert?" "Yes, this is. What can I do for you, sir?" "Congratulations, Mr. Albert! There is a huge inheritance of more than one trillion dollars for you to inherit.""What? Really? One trillion dollars?" Alex broke out of his shock and said excitedly.But soon, Alex calmed down and realized it must be a fraud.How ridiculous! Someone’s scamming a poor guy like him, who even had to support his living and college education by delivering part-time."Okay, listen, whoever you are, I want to advise you to refrain from ever playing this kind of trick on me again. Do you understand? Have a nice day," Alex said and furiously ended the call. As soon as he did, his eyes flashed at the time and he realized that he was almost running late for his delivery. He quickly blacklisted the number and then rushed into the hotel. Outside room 105, Alex took in a deep breath and k
Alex went straight to open the door. The sight before him almost made him throw up. It was none other than the house owner, a fat and ugly middle aged woman with pores all over her face. "Alex, pack your things and get out of my house. I am tired of you owning me," she forcefully said. "Ma, no wait! You can't kick me out!" He retorted. He had nowhere else to go and he could not live on the streets. "Please," he begged. "Okay," she paused. "Have you considered my offer yet?" She asked. Her voice was as disgusting as her looks. "Ma," Alex tried to talk. "Don't even try that handsome. You know the condition. It's either you sleep with me and take me as your girlfriend or you pay off your rent money. So which is it?" The woman said authoritatively. She wanted to keep Alex simply because he was handsome. All thanks to Susan and her reckless spending habits, Alex had no deposit and no savings. He cringed when he remembered the amount of debts he was in because he wanted so badly to
Alex glanced at his hands and knew he had brewed some trouble. However, finding out the truth of the inheritance was more urgent and important for him to care about whatever awaited him at the ground floor.As the elevator gradually reached the 99th floor, his heart tightened, anxious about meeting the man.The lift finally came to a stop and opened, revealing a grand door.Although Alex was very nervous, he still summoned the courage to walk forward and knock on the door.There was a brief silence, before a tired voice answered "Come in"Alex drew a deep breath and opened the door, revealing an office space filled with expensive decorations. Alex was wowed at the size of the office itself, occupying the entire floor, he had never seen a room as luxurious as this.On the wall hung several expensive paintings and artworks, the room itself screamed opulence, with high-end mahogany wood decorations, rugs and gold chandeliers, and a fountain in the middle, Alex was dumbfounded. He was to
Damien had come downstairs with the intention of getting Alex a means of transportation since he was sure that the young man did not have any. But when he got to the first floor, he saw people surrounding Alex and immediately, he was startled.Martha, who was not only beautiful but very sexy, saw her boss approaching and immediately stopped yelling. "Have you all gone deaf? I asked a question." Damien repeated himself angrily. The security guard looked at Martha and his dejected face showed that she was not going to say a word. Having had a crush on her for a long time, he saw this as an opportunity to defend her and prove his worth. "Sir, this man right here is a criminal," he said loudly. "He is a beggar who ran in here and caused so much commotion." "How about you picking a side? Is he a beggar or a criminal?" Damien asked the man. "Sir, he is a..." The man went ahead to speak still."I don't care about your sentence. What I care to tell you is that you are fired," Damien spo
"Alex," Natalie called out, breaking into Alex's thought process. "I was asking you a question.""Hey fellas!" The coach yelled as Alex opened his mouth. "Get into positions. Let the training begin." He backed his words up with a whistle. "Umm, I gotta go Natalie," Alex said as he jogged away from her and found himself in the hurdle created by the coach. The basketball court was filled with three groups. On one side was Alex and his guys plus his teammates, eager to train.On the other side was Nathan and his bullying mates, who sat comfortably on the chairs with a devious smile on their faces. And then there was the group of cheerleaders, led by Caroline and Jasmine. The two girls who had made it their life goal to continuously humiliate Alex.Alex looked up at the boys who sat on the benches and knew that his mental health was about to be played with. "Hey, Alex!" His coach suddenly called out, breaking into his line of thoughts."Are you listening to me?" The man asked, drawin
"Are you really asking me to choose where I want to eat?" Nathan asked, unsure of why Alex was suddenly so confident. "Yes of course. Go ahead, choose wherever you want to."Alex, for the first time understood how powerful money was. With the possession of his black card and a five million dollars sitting in his bank account, he felt like he was on top of the world and nothing could bring him down. Nathan smiled deviously and finally said, "there is this great new restaurant that just opened up. The Corsair. Don't bother yourself with trying to pronounce it. I know that people in your class cannot speak sophisticated languages," Nathan taunted. "Oh is that so? Well, it sounds like The Corsair," Alex pronounced it perfectly, shocking Nathan to his bones. "sounds like a perfect place. So let's go then." Nathan stood back. He still did not understand why Alex was suddenly very confident but he knew that he would go to great lengths to embarrass him in the hotel."Okay let's go then "
Nathan looked at bill in front of him and started shivering. He knew that he did not have that amount to foot it but he could not back down and be embarrassed by Alex. "Fine. Let's order the golden package," he finally said, gulping hard. "Perfect," Alex said and returned the menu back to the waiter The meal arrived ten minutes later and immediately it arrived, everyone dugged in. The meal was so delicious and satisfying that no one paid much attention to Nathan and hence did not notice his distress while eating. He was the only one that did not enjoy the meal that was being served in front of him. He loosened his belt and gasped for air as he thought of how he would finally get out of the mess he had put himself in. His new found girlfriend, Susan noticed his countenance and looked at him sternly. "What the hell is wrong with you?" She whispered. "I may not be able to pay for this meal," he whispered back to her. Immediately, Susan looked at him and snorted. "Well, find ou
