Mr Andrew sat down on the couch in the room and crossed his legs. Poured himself a glass of red wine, and took a sip before finally speaking. “Lamar, I presumed that the voice I heard a while ago was yours,” Mr. Andrew inquired, staring at Lamar who was still sobbing on the floor.
Lamar didn't answer his question and that annoyed Mr Andrew so he barked at him. “You dare snub me? How dare you? You piece of trash. Get your ass up from my expensive floor if you don't want to die.”Lamar doesn't want to get into Mr Andrew's trouble. “Sorry, sir.” Lamar apologized.“I didn't mean to cause noise, Sir, I was only pained to see Victoria and Mr. Jasper in an intimate position, she's still my wife, she's cheating on me,” Lamar said in a cracked voice.Hearing what Lamar had to say, Victoria took Jasper’s hand and led him to another couch, instead of sitting on her own, she sat on Jasper’s lap. Seeing this, a smile curled up on Mr. Andrew’s lip. He knew Lamar would be so pissed and he liked that. Lamar doesn't even need a soothsayer to know that Mr. Andrew is aware of their relationship. Realizing this Lamar expressed."Sir, are you aware of their relationship? What is my offense? What have I done to this family? What have you derived from humiliating me and making me feel this way?” Lamar smirked.“Gain! I gained a lot, Lamar, you are not in our social class, and you're such an embarrassment to our family, you should know that, for you to get into a prestigious family like ours it is an honor and you should be grateful, you don't deserve to be in the same breathing space with us. You disgust me so much.To see you survive the bully pissed me off, so I thought to give up hope and then cruelly take it away from you. Words alone cannot express how happy I am seeing you hurt. It's so refreshing.” brutal words came from Mr Andrew’s mouth.Victoria let out an evil grin and stated. “Seriously, Lamar, I can't believe you fell for such a terrible joke, how did you think I care about you? a poor good for nothing worthless bastard boy. I guess your parents died out of poverty.”Victoria’s words were like a double sharp edge sword, piercing Lamar's chest. Flashes of his parents assassination flashed through his head. As he couldn't bear it anymore he yelled.“Stop it! Just stop! Lamar yelled.“Victoria you can humiliate me all you want but don't you ever bring up my dead parents, you don't have the right to speak about them!”At that point, Lamar doesn't care. His parents were too precious and important for someone to talk less of them. He couldn't tolerate it from her or any other person.BAM! BAM!! BAM!!!Punches and kicks rained down heavily on Lamar. They assaulted him in the most brutal way. Lamar was beaten until he almost lost consciousness.“Useless boy! How dare you talk to my daughter in a disrespectful way? you're such an ungrateful fool. And you deserve every bit of what you are getting. Your sorry parents are so unfortunate to have a piece of trash like you as a son.” The scornful voice of Mr. Andrew sounded like a thunderstorm in Lamar’s ears as he stood up.As Lamar was wincing in pain Mr. Andrew continued, “I have done everything indirectly to make you leave. But you were too dumb to understand. Despite sending you to jail, you still came back here. Lamar, what do you want from my family? Just get your useless self out of my mansion.”As Lamar heard Mr. Andrew’s confession, he was shocked, he just realized that he was actually framed. No wonder, nobody listened to him when he wanted to explain himself.Lamar was left in despair, and when he thought he had heard enough, BOOM! Victoria served him divorce papers.As Lamar was reading the paper, with his hands, they all laughed and scoffed at him while they walked past him without a single feeling of pity for him. To them, he was a useless boy who didn't fit into their status.*************As it dawned on Lamar that it was over. He wasted three years of his life all gone. Lamar was back to square one, on the street. He had no shelter, no money, no one to run to. Lamar hoped that his old job, as a waiter, would still be available for him. His only hope. But he had to find a place to lay his head a bit. Life was cruel to him.As the sun slowly sets, the cold air of the evening blows forth, and after what seems like an eternity of walking endlessly looking for a place to lay his head. Lamar found an abandoned old building with the help of an old man.Seeing the building, Lamar sneers at the sight, this is what the Taylors’ wants for him. To be miserable. That was why they purposely left him stranded at this time of his life. When he needed help the most. He just came out of prison. Lamar had feared that he wouldn't die of depression and hunger.As lamar lay down on the cold rough floor, he regretted ever taking up the offer of being the son-in-law of the Taylor family. Life had dealt with Lamar in the most unbearable way.Lamar sighed in frustration, with each movement, he could feel his body falling apart, the injuries and the pain he was feeling in his body were tearing his body apart, he urgently needed treatment but no one cared. No one wants to mingle with him except for his parents who would’ve been here to love and care for him. if not for the unknown men who murdered them, Lamar thought as he swooped deep into the ocean of memories.Lamar was born to wealthy parents, Mr and Mrs Jack Anderson but they were assassinated by some unidentified men when Lamar was a little boy.Lamar witnessed the horrible death of his parents. It was a torture to him. His parents cried begging for their killers to spare their lives.The flashback……….“Lamar, baby where are you? Enough of these hide-and-seek games, it's time to have dinner. Please baby come out,” little Lamar’s mom called, urging him to stop the hide-and-seek game.But Lamar wasn't responding, the father, Mr. Anderson got curious and followed his wife to the back of the house. What they saw sends shivers down their spine. A group of fearless men in black were pointing a gun at little Lamar's head.“OMG! Lamar’s mom exclaimed out of shock. Her baby was being threatened and there was nothing she could do about it. “Mo… my, please help me.” little Lamar cried. Mr Anderson couldn't take the sight of his only child in that position so he knelt down and begged, “Please let
The man moved closer and asked, "Aren't you Jack Anderson's son? Is this his ring? Are you Lamar, his long-lost son? The one who's supposed to inherit the Stevenson Hill empire? I've been looking for you."Lamar was shocked, he, the heir to the almighty Stevenson Hill Empire? How is that possible? Maybe the man is one of those rich men who play smart to take over the important belongings of the poor. The man didn't wait for Lamar's answer; he seemed sure. He went to Lamar and hugged him tightly. "I'm Mr. James Miller, a friend of your late dad," he said, still holding Lamar's shoulder.Lamar's eyes sparkled when he heard his father's name. Finally, someone knew him and seemed happy to see him. It made him feel good but his eyes were filled with unanswered questions.“Come, come with me, let's find a good spot to talk. Meanwhile, you look hungry.” Mr James noted, looking at Lamar from head to toe. Lamar was skeptical, he didn't want to go. But the man strikes as someone who actually
Feeling refreshed after his bath, Lamar's energy gushed, ready to set his plans. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he began to plan. "I need to make a perfect plan, a plan no one would suspect," he muttered to himself. "And I must take over Dad's company. But first, I need to find out the people that killed Mom and Dad."First, he thought about investigating clues about the properties his parents might have left behind. Then, he considered reaching out to old family friends for information."But how do I get into Dad's company without raising suspicion?" Lamar pondered aloud.Suddenly, an idea struck him. "Yes! I'll apply as a janitor!" he exclaimed."That's a risky move," cautioned his inner voice. "But it might just work," he replied confidently.With his plan in place, Lamar felt he was close to getting back his inheritance and making those who had made him suffer pay dearly.It was late and Lamar needed to sleep. Tomorrow will be a crucial day for him and he has to mentally be stro
“This is awesome! Wow!...... So, I can start planning on how to get back what truly belongs to me. Finally, my life is about to take a new turn. Janitor Lamar!” Lamar exclaimed and burst into hysterical laughter.Lamar trudged home, his mind swirling with thoughts of revenge and justice for his parents. The people who kept him in this position must pay. As Lamar entered his small apartment, he pulled out an old notebook and began to jot down ideas on how to uncover the truth.He didn't bother to change up or at least Freshen up. He didn't want to waste any more minutes, his mind was just fixed on avenging his family.But the more Lamar writes, the more he learns that it isn't just about writing, it is about strategic planning and being careful so he won't get caught. But first things first, gathered himself and got ready for the cleaning job the next day. He had to create a nice impression for the other staff to love and trust him.With that thought in mind, he quickly freshened up,
As Lamar started his first day on the job, he diligently began to perform his duties. He started by collecting trash from the various offices and common areas, carefully emptying the bins, and replacing the trash bags. With a mop and bucket in hand, he moved on to cleaning the floors, scrubbing away any stains or spills he encountered.However, his efforts were constantly met with criticism and additional tasks from Mr. Andrew and other unsympathetic individuals in the Empire. Mr. Andrew would often scold Lamar for not working fast enough or for missing spots while cleaning. He would pile on more tasks before Lamar had even finished the ones he was already assigned.As Lamar was cleaning Mr Andrew’s office floors, Mr. Andrew approached with a scowl on his face. "Lamar, what do you think you're doing? You missed a spot over there!" he barked, pointing to a small smudge near the entrance.Lamar hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, sir. I'll take care of it right away."But before he could
As Ella settled into the seat behind Lamar, as she was teasing Lamar, the waiter approached to take her order. "Good evening, miss. What would you like?" he asked politely.Ella smiled softly. "I'll have two slices of pizza and a glass of apple juice, please," she requested, with a welcoming smile plastered on her face.As the waiter went to fulfill her order, Lamar turned to face Ella, feeling nervous and confused. He couldn't believe that Ella was sitting with a helpless and dirty-looking boy like him. Also, he had a lot of questions in mind to ask about the Stevenson Hill Empire but didn't know how to begin not to provoke Ella. "You seemed like a nice lady and I bet you have a good heart. How did you end up working at the Empire?" he asked gently, trying not to arouse any kind of suspiciousness.Ella sighed and smiled. “This is my sixth year in this company. Sometimes it gets good and rosey and sometimes it gets hectic and overbearing. But it is what it is.” Hmm, Lamar exclaimed,
Mr. James was smiling, he knew what Lamar was up to and indeed he agreed that it was a smart move. “Lamar my boy, you have the wisdom of your father. It would be hard, but you’ll succeed. I trust you,”BACK IN THE EMPIRE…..Lamar tried to focus on his work, but Victoria's insults continued to sting like salt in a wound. "I knew you would never get something useful out of your miserable life, Lamar, you are such a shame. A common janitor, I didn't know what I was thinking before to let you even close to me. Such a disgrace." she taunted, sounding hateful. "Cleaning up after people like us. How pathetic. You just belonged to the gutters."Lamar clenched his jaw, trying to block out her hurtful words as he went about his duties. He could feel the impact of her words bearing down on him, making each wash feel more difficult than before.Her husband chimed in with a chuckle, "Looks like you've really hit rock bottom, Lamar. Just when I thought you couldn't sink any lower. Imagining such a
"Lamar!" the voice called out from the darkness, causing Lamar's heart to race with fear.As Lamar turned, he saw Mr. James emerges from the shades, with a strong and stern expression. Lamar wondered why Mr. James would be hiding and acting weird. "Mr. James, what are you doing here, dressed like this?" Lamar asked, his voice trembling with curiosity.Mr. James approached Lamar, his eyes serious. "Lamar, you need to be very careful," he warned, his voice low and urgent. "Eyes will soon be on you, and you need to watch your back."Lamar's stomach churned with fear at Mr. James's ominous words. "What do you mean?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.But before Mr. James could respond, Mr. James vanished. leaving Lamar alone scared. THE NEXT DAY…..The following day, Lamar trudged back to work with a heavy heart, dreading what awaited him in the office. As he entered the building, he braced himself for another day of humiliation and insults.Sure enough, Mr. Andrew wasted no ti
