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 low life like you were once married to my wife boiled my spirit. Such a loser!"Ignoring their cruel jabs, Lamar focused on his work and decided not to let them get the best of him. He knew he had to grow above their insults and get what he came here to achieve.***********************As Lamar finished cleaning Mr. Andrew's office and turned to leave, Mr. Andrew's voice stopped him in his tracks. "Lamar, come back here," he called out, sounding very harsh and serious. Reluctantly, Lamar returned, his heart sinking as he braced himself for whatever humiliation awaited him.Mr. Andrew's eyes gleamed with malice as he gestured towards his son-in-law, who sat smirking in his chair. "Lamar, show some respect to my new son-in-law here. Clean his shoes," Mr. Andrew commanded, a cruel smirk dancing on his lips.Lamar's face burned with shame as he knelt down to scrub at the man's shoes, his hands were trembling with humiliation. He felt like nothing more than a servant, a pawn in Mr. Andrew's gnarled game of power and control.As he cleaned, he could feel the mocking eyes of everyone in the room on him. And Victoria laughed pathetically. But Lamar gritted his teeth and pushed through the humiliation, no matter what, he was there for a reason and he was never going to give up until he achieved his goals.Eventually, he was through. Without further waiting, Lamar exited the room. As he shut the door behind him, he leaned his back on the door and sighed.“Lamar you're stronger than this and I know you can overcome it. Just stay focused,” he mumbled to himself.***********************As Lamar tried to leave the office, he bumped into another employee, spilling the contents of his cleaning bucket onto the floor. The employee glared at Lamar with scorn. "Watch where you're going, janitor, what is wrong with you, do you have any idea of the worth of what I am wearing? Fool!" he sneered, stepping over the spilled water without giving Lamar a hand of help.Feeling a blush of embarrassment, Lamar quickly knelt down to mop up the mess, his cheeks burning with shame. "I-I'm sorry, it was a mistake, I didn't mean to bump into you," he mumbled, feeling sorry for himself.As he worked to clean up the spill of dirty water, he overheard a group of colleagues whispering and laughing nearby. "Did you see that new janitor? What a klutz!" one of them snickered, attaining laughter from the others.Lamar gritted his teeth, but then, they have the right to laugh and mockery.**********************As Lamar finished cleaning up the spilled water, he glanced at the clock and realized it was almost closing time. He hurried up to tidy up the remaining areas, making sure everything was in order before the end of the day.As he worked, he couldn't wait to meet up with Ella. He wanted to know her more and walking home with her will give him a chance. Moreover, he was beginning to like her and Ella shared almost the kind of pain he felt.Lamar worked quickly, his mind focused on the opportunity of spending time with Ella. As he finally finished his duties and prepared to leave, he sighed and glanced around feeling happy that despite what was thrown at him today, he was able to overcome it.***********************As Lamar approached the reception area, he spotted Ella waiting for him at the long client's waiting bench. With a smile spreading across his face, he greeted her warmly, "Hey, Ella! Ready to head home?"Ella returned his smile, her eyes lighting up. "Absolutely, Lamar. I've been waiting for this all day," she replied eagerly, standing up to join him.As they began to stroll out of the building together, Lamar felt satisfied walking side by side with Ella, telling stories and laughing as they made their way home. Fortunately, Ella’s apartment was close to Lamar’s apartment.As Lamar and Ella strolled home, they shared stories and laughter, enjoying each other's company. As they turned a corner, they noticed a suspicious figure walking behind them.Lamar's instincts kicked in, and he tightened his grip on Ella's arm, whispering, "Did you see that? That man is acting weird."Ella's eyes widened with worry as they both watched the man who covered his face with a mask disappear into the darkness. "What do you think he was up to?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly.But before Lamar could respond, they heard footsteps resounding behind them, growing louder with each passing second. With a sinking feeling in the pit of their stomachs, Lamar and Ella quickened their speed, Lamar was scared, he feared that they might have discovered his intentions and now they're after his life.And just as they reached the safety of their neighborhood, Ella turned to the direction of her house. Lamar was alone, scared to his stomach. Almost running down to his apartment Lamar heard a chilling voice call out from the darkness, sending shivers down their spines.“Lamar!"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
“Mr. Lamar, hurry up, you're free to leave, be careful not to commit any crime again.” one of the police officers warned, As he was opening the gate of Lamar's cell, he was the only officer who had shown him love while he was in prison.Lamar came out of his cell and walked down to the captain’s office where he needed to sign and do the paperwork for his release.The office was covered with awards and frames hanging on the wall. The entire environment looked serious and strict. It was an old-looking office, and the captain seemed corrupt.Lamar stood while everyone else sat. They considered him too poor to sit with them. He signed the papers quietly. Then, the captain looked at him and said, "Hey, you better behave. If not, you'll end up back here in jail." Lamar was shocked. He knew he didn't do anything wrong. "Sir, I'm innocent," he started to say, but the captain cut him off. "Say another word, and you'll remain here," he warned sharply.The precinct was popularly known for its co
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
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
