“Hello sis, how are you doing?” Linda's voice rang through the phone as soon as the call was picked up, and the receiver was left in shock. It took a while and there was no response.

Nervously, Linda peeked glances at the phone to see if it was disconnected, but it wasn't.

“Caroline? Are you there?” She called out again before a reply came through.

“What do you want?” Caroline replied seemingly disgusted. “Are you calling to make more trouble? Remember I don't have that time at the moment, please.” She concluded and wanted to end the call when Linda spoke.

“I am sorry.” She said and shockingly, Caroline couldn't bring herself to hang up. The words she just heard were too good to be true, yet it didn't feel like she was dreaming.

Linda just apologized? Caroline started doubting her senses. She was unable to let herself fall for such a trap like before. She had witnessed too much and it was energy draining. Her stepmother pointed a gun at her and would have killed her if not for a mira

    “Linda right?” Caroline asked, and the delivery man nodded at her before handing the flowers to her. She extended her hand and grabbed the vase. It was such a perfect piece as it had an ancient drawing sculptured on it. The material looked like glass, yet it was made of wood. The way it was polished alone was unique and must be a very costly piece.At once glance, Caroline took notice of it but what she was more invested about was how nice the flowers were. She couldn't resist the urge to dip her nose into it and allow the fragrance to waft into her nostrils.Bang!Just then the door was pushed open and Lucas pushed his head in. The moment he saw her with flowers he was shocked as he knew it wasn't there before and it wasn't like he saw anyone bring it in.That was when Caroline pulled out of the enjoyable feeling she was in. Her mind ran back to the lad who brought the flowers, and she wanted to thank him but after looking she noticed he was nowhere to be found. Rather, there was Lu

    Back inside the small cabin in the rural area.Edward and the others were seated on the couch watching the Television. They weren’t watching the news but something else. There were some wireless connected cameras fixed in some certain place while the television displayed each of those scenes that happened in each place Furthermore, there was a remote control in Edward’s hand, and he was able to make each scene that was showing in a mini spot on the screen occupy the whole screen, so everyone could have their view of what was happening.Right there, on the screen, it was showing that Harrison just walked into the hospital ward. Not only could Edward and the others watch what was going on, but they were able to hear the conversation that was going on.Meanwhile, Larry who was seated at the far end of the room was enjoying the show the most since he was the one who delivered the flower directly to her. He played his part so well that she was unable to recognize him. Of course, he was pu

    Being indoors for a long while had made their senses a bit shaken off and when they had to adjust to a sudden brightness, they couldn’t help but blink their eyes multiple times.Everyone was shocked to see someone had walked into a room. An unknown someone they didn’t know but were so desperate to see his face, yet their sight was failing to adjust to the light.However, after the figure spoke, every single effect of the sudden brightness was washed off and replaced with curiosity.Starting from the leg, everyone scanned the figure from the toe, slowly heading to his face. When they arrived at the finish point, they all nearly fell on their backs.“Ramon?” Everyone yelled seemingly as though they had seen a ghost. It had to be a ghost right, or maybe their senses were playing tricks on them? They just couldn’t figure it out as their jaws were wide open, almost dropping to the floor.“Jesus Christ!

    “You must have thought you were way too smart to be dealt with. You got me so bad that I thought I was done for. I have never faced an opponent like you and for that, I’ll give you a ten. You are damn good!” Harrison said with a hint of mockery in his tone and Edward became pissed.However, he tried to think about what went wrong to make his plan fail and how it was so hard for him to figure out what was going on. In a thousand years, he would never expect someone as low as Ramon to be able to exceed him in intellectual strategy.“What? Don’t tell me you are spacing out at such times. And why weren’t you able to figure out what was going on? I mean, you have cameras watching, don't you?” Harrison said sarcastically.Edward felt pressured and it felt like the right time for Harrison to make it harder on him. After all, Harrison suffered the same fate earlier.“How did I not figure this out?” Edward finally said, scolding himself.“Because you are so dumb to notice.” Harrison fired at h

  • Hidden Fortune’s Heir   Trash!

    "Shut your twerp you trash." A feminine voice resounded in the villa as she looked at the figure kneeling in front of her, the disdain in her eyes was evident."Mother, I just need some dollars...""Don't call me that, you're not worthy to become my son." The woman, Rachel, snorted, interrupting the man."But..""Shut up trash, haven't you heard what my mother said?" A voice boomed, interrupting the figure once again.Harrison sighed as his head dropped low looking at the floor. He couldn't meet the gazes of the two figures before him. One was his mother-in-law and the other was her son.He had come to the villa to ask his mother-in-law for money as he didn't have a job. Ever since he had managed to graduate from the University five years ago, he had been jobless, and no matter what he did, he just couldn't get a job.He had been all by himself since a young age and didn't know who his parents were. He had relied on some menial jobs to keep himself going. Then some years ago, he got ma

    "You're not fit to be in here, get out!" A voice said calmly pointing at the door."But, you can't do this to me, I need this job, sir." Harrison sighed as he pleaded."No, we can't give you this job, you're unfit for it, so get out." The man shook his head, still pointing at the door."But...""Just get out of the damn door!" The man suddenly flared banging the table as he stood up in a fit of rage."Sir, you have to be considerate, I met all the qualifications for this job, yet you don't want to give it to me." Harrison sighed as he continued to plead, not caring about the anger of the man."Security, come throw this trash out of my office." The man shouted, ignoring Harrison who was still shouting."Sir, you can't do this, I meet the qualifications for this job, so why can't you just give it to me, besides, I need it." Harrison continued to plead, hoping the man was going to agree."You're nothing but trash, an unfinished product, so why do you think you qualify for this job?" The

    "Found me?" Harrison muttered, feeling shocked.Could it be that the old man was getting senile and thus had thought he was someone else? Yeah, that had to be the case, he didn't have any source of power nor did he ever run away from home.For as long as he could remember, he didn't know who his parents were so he wondered why the old man called him young master and was looking at him with so much reverence and respect."Sir, I think you've found the wrong person." Harrison frowned as he said slowly.He was afraid of speaking too loud so as not to anger the old man and his terrifying bodyguards. What was he going to do if he mistakenly angered them and then they beat him up?"Young master, you can't say that." The old man sighed looking at Harrison."I can't say that?" Harrison frowned, feeling rather confused at the old man's words.What the hell did he mean, he wasn't who he thought he was. He was a whole different person. There was no way he was a Young Master. He didn't have any m

    The callers intention

    “Shit! The police department?” Whitman murmured the words out, as he would rather not be noticed by the caller. Moreover, everyone had their guard up thinking the place was surrounded by the police.There wasn’t any siren sound or any movement, so it must be an unnoticeable operation, right? Those were the thoughts that were running inside their heads as quickly Larry and Raymond took a peep at the window but there was no one outside.They felt a sigh of relief, but that didn’t quench their suspicion. They knew not to let their guard down. Never.“Yes, who am I speaking with?” Edward replied trying hard to keep his composure. He suddenly looked calm and collected like he wasn’t the same person who was nervous not long ago.Already he had speculated that whoever it was, it had to be someone who knew him. The number was private and after picking up, the caller said he was from the police department.After realizing all this, Edward wanted to laugh out loud, but he chose to play along fi

    Stand down

    “What’s the meaning of this? Why are you pointing a gun at my head?” Whitman was shocked by the turn of events. He didn’t expect them to come to his house and threaten him.“You are his ally ain’t you? I’ve seen you a couple of times with that brat called Harrison. Who knows, maybe you are here working for him undercover.” Larry spits his suspicion while Raymond nods his head in support.“Stand down!” Edward snapped but was being ignored. “I said bring the gun down!” He said again and yet no one paid a listening ear to him.“It’s the opposite. I am working with Edward here to bring Harrison down.” Whitman explained.“What? Don’t be shitting me. You are the same person who gave out our hideout to Harrison, and you want us to believe you? You should talk fast before I put four bullets into your thick skull!” Larry threatened.The look on his face was so cold, signifying his threats wasn’t a bluff. Already, he had adjusted the gun and had his finger wrapped around the trigger button. Any

    Loyal to the young master

    The tension became hot and it felt like air was sucked out of their lungs leaving them dry and vulnerable. That should be the time when they should bow their heads and beg for forgiveness, but the men didn’t look like they would.Though they were shocked by his words, there was no trace of fear radiating off them. It felt like they had gradually made up their minds to accept death.Noticing this, Whitman was quite stunned. He knew their loyalty was as tough as a rock, but in the face of death, anyone was supposed to shiver.Smiling, he pulled out a gun and cracked it, then pointed it at one of them.“Swear loyalty to me and I will spare your life.” He said instead as the thought of using them against Harrison would seem befitting to him.“Tch!” All the men spat at his face at once as though they were all in sync with each other. Their eyes were stern as they held nothing but disgust. If not for the fact that they were being tied, they would have lunged at him by now.“Wrap things up
