"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 man smirked as he stared at Harrison with disgust.He couldn't hide the disgust in his eyes any longer, hiding it would mean giving the rest in front of his face and he couldn't do that. It wasn't in his nature to do stuff like that."But sir, I've never done anything to annoy you, nor do I know you, so why is it like this?" Harrison sighed hoping to get an answer."You want to know?" The man sneered as he looked at Harrison."You don't deserve to know, besides, you're just trash and very useless.""But...""Shut the fuck up and get out of my office! I'm done entertaining your nonsense." The man interrupted Harrison coldly.Just then, two blurry men with the clothes of security guards walked into the office."Throw him out." The man ordered pointing at Harrison.Before Harrison could have a chance to argue, he was caught by the men and dragged out of the office. Getting out of the company, the men coldly threw him onto the floor as they stared at him.The disgust in their eyes was evident, and even they looked down on Harrison who looked rather disheveled at the moment.Harrison smiled bitterly as he stood up. There was nothing he could do anyway. He had no power to fight back, so he could only watch. He was truly powerless against the men and there was truly nothing he could do about it.Dusting away the dirt on his clothes, he stood up as he walked away from the company. Since he didn't get the job, there was nothing he could do about it. He could only sigh in defeat as he walked along the pedestrian way on the highway.At this point, he knew he was useless, he had no use. He couldn't even take good care of his wife, nor could he give her what she wanted. Sometimes, he wondered why she hadn't left him for another man.His wife was surely beautiful and was one of the most beautiful women in the city. No matter how hard he thought, he just couldn't understand why his wife wouldn't divorce him and go to Another person who had money and power.There was nothing he could do anyway. He could only stare at the birds in the sky wishing he was one. They were free and no one would consider them to be useless. But what of him?He felt that even the birds were better than him, at least, they could serve as food when caught, but what could he serve as? He was just as useless as they had described.He truly didn't have any use and wished he was just going to die and leave the world. He didn't have money nor power which was what made the world go around. Those two were only what was recognized by the masses. If you don't have any of them.Then you're considered useless. Dating from the fact that he didn't know who his parents were. He had been alone since a young age and had been forced to fend for himself. He had to endure all kinds of humiliation from a young age.But it seemed he couldn't take it again. He was finally going to snap. Harrison was sure that if it was anyone else, they would have snapped. He had endured for too long."Uncle, Uncle, gimme some money." A voice drifted into Harrison's ears as a hand tugged at his trousers.Harrison smiled as he looked down only to see a little boy with his hand outstretched and staring at him with his big eyes."Here you go." Harrison smiled as he removed the ten-dollar bill from his pocket and gave it to the boy."Thank you, Uncle." The boy smiled happily before running off.Harrison sighed and shook his head seeing this. The little boy reminded him of his younger self when he was forced to either work to earn just some steam buns to eat or beg for money.Sometimes, he'll get unlucky and people could kick him away cursing at his ancestors, and the nicer ones would give him a little bit of money. But most times, he was unlucky and didn't get on the good side of anyone.Harrison sighed as he slowly came back to his senses. Now that he had given the boy the ten-dollar bill, he was penniless. How was he even going to get home?His house was quite far from here. Well, he was going to have no other choice but to walk back home no matter what. There was nothing he could do. Since all the companies rejected him and didn't give him a job, he was just going to go back home and come back to try again the next day.He had never given up on what he had set his sights on, nor was he good to give up. He was confident that what he wanted was just within his reach and he wasn't going to stop until he got it.Vroom! Vroom!Just then, rows of luxurious cars suddenly parked in front of Harrison making the latter confused as he wondered what was going on.Then, men in black suits came out of the car and stood quietly beside one of the cars before opening the door.Out of the car came an old man with a walking stick. The aura surrounding him showed he was a very powerful person and his clothes were one that even Harrison couldn't recognize."Young Master, we've finally found you." The old man sighed as he walked towards Harrison who stood rooted to the floor."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
Harrison sighed as he looked at the black card in his hands, he just didn't know how to feel at this moment. Just like that, he went from someone with nothing to someone who had $100, 000, 000 and it was merely for his upkeep.His brain couldn't process what was going on. Could it be that fate was playing tricks on him, well, that shouldn't be the case, he was sure about it.Sighing, Harrison pushed the thoughts out of his mind, he knew that it was time for him to give the life his wife deserved to him. His inlaw's net worth wasn't even ten percent of the Sterling Co-operation. No one would bully or insult him again, he wasn't useless and he was going to show them all.Looking around, Harrison saw a shop where they were selling bouquets. It would be nice to buy one for his wife to show his appreciation. Besides, she deserved it a lot.Thinking like this, Harrison walked into the flower shop with a smile on his face. The assistants in the shop frowned seeing the way Harrison was dresse
Harrison on the other hand walked out of the store feeling rather happy. He was sure that his wife was waiting for him at home and he couldn't wait to go home to see her.Even though he wasn't going to tell her what happened today, he was at least telling her some good news and it was that they were never going to have to suffer anymore. Harrison's mood was extremely good at the moment.Vroom! Vroom!Suddenly rows of police cars surrounded Harrison making him frown and wonder what was happening."Yeah, that's him, he's the one, he has to be one of the robbers." An excited voice drifted into Harrison's ears just as Harrison was surrounded.Harrison frowned hearing the voice. When the hell did he rob a bank? He knew there was a bank robbery days ago, but then it had nothing to do with him, this was a pure misunderstanding.They had mistaken him for someone else. Besides, the voice he heard just now was rather too familiar. Wasn't it Janet's voice?"Suspect surrounded, stay back he may b
"Did you come to beg for money again," Rachel smiled seeing Caroline walk into the villa."And who cares about your money." Caroline sneered as she stared at her stepmother."So tell me, why did you come here?" Rachel chuckled."Well, my husband found a job, so now, he's a lot better than all of your twerps," Caroline said coldly."He got a job at which company?" Rachel frowned as she asked."At the sterling Co-operation." Caroline smiled.Haha! Haha!Rachel suddenly burst out laughing, after some time, she managed to suppress her laughter as she looked at Caroline, "You almost got me there.""You think Sterling Co-operation would give that useless trash of yours you call a husband a job?""I think you've been desperate for so long that you became delusional." Rachel chuckled as she continued."I'd advise you to go back and ask that useless husband of yours where he got a job. I think it must be a useless men's Cooperation instead."Caroline frowned hearing Rachel's words. Well, she c
Stephen's mouth twitched violently hearing Harrison's words. How dare he talk to him that way? It seemed like he had underestimated him greatly.Groaning, Stephen managed to get up as he left the place, his face burning with embarrassment.If only he hadn't met that cursed person at the gate, then this wouldn't have happened. It was just as his mother had said, Harrison was truly a bad luck.---Harrison on the other hand felt rather happy as he walked into the Company. The guards even though repulsed by his appearance didn't dare to look down on him as he carried a kind of demeanor ordinarily people wouldn't have which made them quite wary."Excuse me, sir, how may I help you." The receptionist's polite voice came as she stared at Harrison in disgust.If not for the fact that she had been warned not to look down on anyone, she would have long called the guards to throw Harrison out because of the way he was dressed.Besides, she remembered that the receptionist who was fired before s
"And here you are Ramon." Harrison smiled seeing Ramon who was walking hurriedly towards him."Young Master," Ramon smiled bitterly as he walked hurriedly towards Harrison.With the look on Harrison's face, he knew that the latter was about to lose his patience which made him quite angry with the receptionist. Didn't they more than look down on someone?It has taken a lot of effort for him to invite Harrison over to take a look at the company, and yet these foolish guards wanted to take them away.The receptionist on the other hand was scared out of her wits as she couldn't believe her eyes. Ramon was someone she had never seen since she started working at the company, and yet this man in front of her was able to make him come.Who the hell was he? It seemed like she had managed to offend a big shot like she had feared. It turned out that he wasn't running his mouth all this while. It was her who was running her mouth."I think, I'll just head back, your company doesn't welcome me." H
Harrison's face went dark upon hearing what Caroline said. What the hell was happening? He was sure that someone was behind it."Young master, what's wrong?" Ramon frowned seeing Harrison's expression."Someone is trying to demolish my house saying it needs to undergo a renovation." Harrison frowned as he rushed out of the office."Young Master, I'll drive you over," Ramon said hurriedly as he followed Harrison out of the office.Harrison didn't deny it and patiently waited for Ramon even though he was quite anxious as he didn't know what was happening.In no time, Ramon came over with a car, and immediately, Harrison got in and off to his house. Since Ramon had taken Harrison home the day before, there was no need for Harrison to direct him or tell him the location.---"You can't demolish this building, it's been here for more than fifteen years." Caroline frowned as he looked at the man in the tractor who had a grin on his face."That's one of the reasons for me to destroy it, the
"I don't think it'll be appropriate to stop at this time, I think you should just let him do his work." Harrison chuckled."You..." Stephen turned around as he gritted his teeth glaring at Harrison."You're not a dog brother-in-law, it's not good for you to brush your teeth in that manner." Harrison laughed."Hey, stop what you are doing right now!" Stephen continued to yell ignoring Harrison as he ran towards the excavator."Are you sure he'll hear your screams, it'll be better if you just go and watch." Harrison continued, not being bothered by Stephen who had ignored him."Hey stop!" Stephen continued to yell as he ran towards the excavator, he had to do all in his power to make sure he didn't pull down the building.Just now, his mother had called him that there was a team of excavators in their villa wanting to pull it down as they claimed that the legal team asked them to do it and that something was wrong with the building.Even though his mother just asked him to hurry up and

“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
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! What the hell is this?” Edward yelled, shaking his head from side to side to see if ever
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
“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
“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
“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
“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
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
