“Mr. Ryan, you need to do something or you might lose your uncle.”The word kept on ringing in Ryan's mind while he was driving to deliver packages to their prospective locations.Ryan Baker works for Express Cargo, he works as a delivery driver. Express Cargo is one of the best delivery companies in Brentwood.Ryan had known Uncle Mitchell as his guardian, his uncle had told him that he picked him up from the street and the only thing he knew about him was the necklace he had on and that he noticed he had a birthmark on his left shoulder.Uncle Mitchell taught Ryan how to have skills in martial arts and driving. Uncle Mitchell had always warned him to stay away from trouble and not get into a fight. His Uncle Mitchell has been sick for four years after losing his property due to a fire outbreak and Ryan has tried his best but it was still not enough. He has emptied his savings for his uncle's treatment and is now left with nothing. The house rent is due and the landlord continues t
Ryan got to his apartment at Bathwick Drive, and when he got there his bags were outside, he was shocked and a written note was placed on his bag. It was a quit notice, for him to vacate the apartment.His landlord was able to get his property outside after getting a court order. Ryan had not paid for a long time and had been sneaking in and out of the building.His uncle has been in the hospital for months and all his money has been used to pay his uncle's medical bills.He didn't know whether to feel anger, pain or disappointment. In less than five hours he has lost his job, was betrayed by his girlfriend and is now homeless. He had no other place to stay and he couldn't stay at the hospital with his uncle and didn't want his uncle to know he had been sacked or chased out of the house.He was still thinking of how to get money to save his Uncle, he didn't mind doing anything even if it meant doing something illegal. All he wants is to make sure his uncle is alive.The thought of
Ryan ran and It was like he was out of breath, bending to his knees with his two hands.He got to the location given to him, he spotted a Ford Explorer driving towards him. He stood still not to cause any problems.The car parked some miles away from him, and a hefty man came out from the front seat of the car. He was dressed in a black suit and wore a black shade to cover his eyes. Ryan was a bit scared but had to summon the courage to face them.He had skill in martial arts and he could defend himself in case of any conflicts.The hefty man came closer to him, Ryan's eyes were roaming around the environment to be sure no other car or person was coming again.“Are you R.B., did Andrew give you our package?” the man asked in a deep voice.He looked at Ryan from head to toe, he was looking tattered and was breathing heavily.“Yes.”He nodded intermittently .“Can I take a look?” The man asked as he stretched his hand to collect the bag from Ryan.He handed over the bag which contained th
“Hello…..Hello…..” he screamed again into the phone.“What do you want?” Andrew asked.“Andrew, I did the job and you didn't send the money for my uncle's treatment,” he said, with his voice brimful in anger.“Hello, Andrew.”Andrew chuckled.“Do you think a low life like you deserves such an amount of money?” he taunts.His eyes widened in shock and his eyes reddened in anger.“Andrew, you deceived me into doing a job for you and you did a fake transaction,” Ryan uttered.“Why Andrew, why.” Ryan's eyes were brimming with frustration and anger.“Your uncle doesn't deserve to be alive,” Andrew stated.“What!!! He exclaimed.“You killed my uncle, Andrew, you will suffer for this, you will pay for what you have done.” Andrew Laughed out loud over the phone.“A pauper like you threatened me, do you know I can make you rot in jail or I can get you killed with just a blink of my eyes? Andrew said.“I will deal with you, I promise. You will pay for it.” Ryan said in a tone of finality.He c
The server interrupted the conversation, “Sorry for the delay sir,” she said in an apologetic tone.Ryan's eyes were fixated on Joseph as he wanted to know what he had to say before the lady interrupted.But Joseph looked at the lady, signaling her to go. Before turning to continue his conversation with Ryan.“What is the name of their son?” Ryan asked In curiosity.“The name of their son is Ryan Baker," Joseph said.Ryan gave a light laugh.“I'm not the only Ryan baker in Brentwood, and there are other Ryan bakers out there who might have the same birthmark as mine and the same necklace," Ryan said.“Mr. Fred Baker had the same birthmark on his left shoulder and he gave the necklace to his son when he was two years old,” Joseph said.“Mine is on my right shoulder,” Ryan said.“You are the real Ryan Baker, I have been following you for a while now.”“You don't belong to the street, you belong in a place of power, affluence and wealth.” Joseph Said.Ryan stared at him with confusion wr
“Welcome home young master.” the servants said in unison.Ryan's eyes widened in surprise at the number of servants that had bowed before him.He alighted from the car and walked past them as they moved towards the entrance of the big mansion. The flowers were scattered along the path creating a beautiful and fragrant carpet as Ryan walked.His expression was mixed with happiness and joy. He never thought a day like this would ever come when he would be treated like a king.The servants ushered them inside the mansion, the house was the most beautiful place Ryan had been to, with nice marble tiles and artwork hung around the living room.He sauntered around the living room to catch the ambience of the mansion, he stared at each artwork that was hung on the wall and finally stood in front of a portrait, it was a portrait of a man who looked like Him and had the same necklace and his name boldly written “Fred Baker” underneath his picture and beside it was that of a woman with her name
Ryan inhales and exhales deeply, before uttering a word.“I grew up with my uncle Mitchell in Bathwick Drive,” Ryan retorted.“So where is your uncle Mitchell?” Mr. George asked. “He is dead,” Ryan replied, with worries etched on his face.Mrs. Ashley was about to say something but she was interrupted by Mr. Caleb.“Can we eat In peace?” Mr. Caleb asked.Mr. George and his wife frown at Ryan, They are not happy with his return, and it will spoil their plan of taking over the companies.Ryan saw the looks on their faces and noticed that his uncle George and his family were not happy with his return.After the meal, Mr. Caleb ordered Ryan to meet him in his home office. He smiled at Ryan, Ryan's mother tapped him on his shoulder and ordered him to eat his food so it wouldn't get cold.******* Mr. Caleb was seated on his leather chair, While Ryan sat opposite his desk. The office was filled with files and portraits of his three wives and children.“Ryan, How are you?” he asked.“I'm fin
Ryan looked at her in disgust, with his eyes brewing in anger.Victoria works in the event marketing department, as an event planner for buzzworthy media.Victoria stood in front of Ryan with her hands folded on her chest and she looked at him from head to toe, Ryan was looking handsome and smelled nice but she knew Ryan couldn't afford anything he was putting on. She felt maybe he had gone to borrow it from his rich friend Andrew or any laundry agency just so he could apply for a job because there were vacancies in the media house.“I asked you a question, what are you doing here, we don't have a job for pauper.” She uttered. Ryan gnashed his teeth, as he gave her a cold look.“I'm here for something important and not you,” he said, his anger rising.“Who would want to see someone like you, I guess you came to apply as a cleaner, it would suit you.” She said laughing out loud.“Mind the way you talk to people, You might end up losing your job.” He said.Victoria's expression was en
