"Cara, your father is dead!"These words from her mother through the phone had Cara chuckle in confusion, she removed the phone from her ears to look at the screen to be sure she was talking to the right person.But the name on her screen showed it was her mother."Mom? Please, I'm not even in the mood for your silly jokes. I have work to do, I'm busy." Cara said with a frown.She felt her mother went overboard with her jokes, why would she even say such nonsense?"Cara?! Your Father is at the morgue now. He is really gone!" Susan said and this time, Cara noted the trembling voice of her mother. She could also hear her crying through the phone, was this true?"I...I don't understand. How? When? What do you even mean? Do you see if... Mom? Where are you right now? I will be there in a few minutes."Cara quickly stood up from where she sat, she now realized this could be a serious issue and nothing to joke about. Because who in this world jokes about death??"I'm at the city hospital's
Matt let out a shaky breath as he was torn between whether to pick up the call or not. What could be the reason for this call? If only he had an answer and the only way to know was by picking up which he dreaded doing.He gritted his teeth and clenched hard on his phone and in that process his finger tapped on the screen, picking up the call without his conscious knowledge."Hello? Matt?" Cara's voice rang out from his phone out of the blue, filling the quiet place with the sound of her voice.Matt had almost peed on himself, not expecting the call to be picked up when he didn't want to pick it up. What went wrong? He wondered as he looked at the screen of the phone where the caller timer was ticking."Matt? Are you there?" Her voice rang out for the second time and Matt held himself back from cursing out loud, that would even be a mess.Deciding to just respond, Matt cleared his throat and said, "Hello? Cara, is there a problem? Why are you calling me?"Meanwhile, Cara on the other e
While Matt was still on his way to the police station, Cara and Susan were finally able to reach Nick through a phone call. And on hearing of the tragic news, Nick quickly arrived at the police station within minutes. His eyes filled with tears at the news of his father's death. And just like his mother and sister, he too was interrogated. He answered every single question directed at him in the most truthful and honest ways, after all, he wanted to make sure whoever killed his father would be discovered and arrested. The policemen listened to all Nick said but unlike Susan, Nick said he had left three people home this morning, which were his parents and Matt. And the policemen wondered why the family weren't even suspicious of this Matt guy, wasn't it obvious to them? Seeing the way they all sided with Matt and refused to think he was suspicious, the policemen couldn't help but wonder what was so special about the Matt guy that they thought of him as a saint. Waiting for Matt too
It was already noon time when the Broda family went back home to quietly mourn the loss of the father and husband. However, Matt refused to return to their home with them even when they insisted. He gave a measly excuse, saying his presence was needed in his father's company. With this excuse, they couldn't keep arguing with him and just agreed to let him go. With hurried steps, Matt went to the abandoned building where his mother's corpse was currently at, left unburied. Not that he planned to give her a proper befitting burial whatsoever, that's something she doesn't deserve. On getting to the place, Matt's face twisted in disgust at how badly the air smelled. It was hard to breathe, but he breathed in and out anyways, after all he had a lot to do. Walking to where the old lamp was, matt turned it on and like before, it wasn't bright and was going on with being dim and then brighter and then dim. But he ignored it and kept the lamp in a good place that would enable him see prop
By noon time, Liam was already occupied with work. Not that he had expected less but this was way too overwhelming for someone who was new to this. He wasn't complaining though. The pile of work was endless at this point. His thoughts drifted to Mr Broda. For a while now, Liam had been feeling uneasy. He thought it wasn't right to just leave without announcing his departure. But it wasn't really his fault at the time, he thought something dreadful had happened thanks to Alexander and his secretary. Liam was on the verge of cursing that old man. He would make sure to visit Mr Broda tomorrow again, at least to apologize for leaving his house suddenly without informing him. Liam dropped the pen he was using to write down something and stared at the laptop for a while. Afterwards, he leaned back on his chair and loosened his tie. With his head resting on the headrest of his seat, he shut his eyes closed to take a quick rest. However, exactly a few minutes later, a knock was heard on
"I honestly don't care what you are called, I can call you whatever I wish to," Liam responded nonchalantly with his fingers playing with his fountain pen. Right after he said that the air in the office felt heavy and suffocating. Even Nelson who was still standing by the door felt goosebumps rise on his skin. The smile on both father and son's faces vanished as they both half stared and half glared at Liam for his confidence and audacious words. "You sound so cocky and ignorant, just when I thought you knew something about me. But it turns out you don't know who I really am and what I'm capable of, I could make—" Aamon Chorro spoke in a threatening voice but was interrupted by Liam. "I must say I'm quite disappointed, Aamon. With the way you were being so confident back then, I thought you would have created a huge havoc by now. But it turns out it was just an empty word of threat." Liam said with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. He was referring to the voice message he h
Matt couldn't help but curse his luck. The man whom he had bumped into earlier stood there with his hands akimbo as if waiting for someone. And Matt hates to admit that that someone might be him. Matt would have just chosen to walk out quietly. However, the man was currently standing on the only route that would lead Matt out of this place. The entrance of the abandoned building had grass and weeds growing around it, it looked crusty, dusty and definitely not attractive. The entrance door was metal and though it looked closed from a distance but at a closer look, one would notice it was slightly open. Not very wide but wide enough for a person to enter the building without having to push open the door and not to mention, the door looked like it would be extremely difficult to open due to how long it had been there. Filled with nothing but confusion, Matt anxiously shook his right hand that held the bloodied spade in an attempt to calm his raging self. Seeing he had no other option
The moment the Broda family reached their home, grieve soon filled their presence and their household. They had lost an important member of the family and it felt like a hard blow for them. The children had lost their father and Susan had also lost her husband. With sadness written all over her face, Susan walked slowly with each steps heavy, she entered her bedroom with her children following behind her. This was the bedroom she shared with her husband and it hasn't even been up to twenty-four hours since she lost him but the room already felt empty and cold. Walking to Mr Broda's side of the bed, Susan sat on it and laid her palm on the bed, it felt cold. The bedroom had nothing special in it, just a regular normal sized bedroom with furnitures around the place. "Mom? I really think you should rest, it's almost evening and you need rest." Nick said with a worried face, he stood before the bed with Cara beside him as both siblings shared glances occasionally. Nick felt sorry for h
A fight would happen soon and it was Liam against almost thirty armed men. But with the guns in their hands, Liam wondered if there would be a fight at all or if they would fire at him before an actual fight would break out."Deal with this idiot," Chorro ordered and the men yelled in response but before anything could happen, Liam spoke up,"You do realize that killing me means killing your children, right? Then your legacy would become useless if you have no son to inherit them, you would age and die and leave everything you ever had on this earth for strangers to take. Do you want strangers to reap what you sow when you are gone? Keep me alive and I'll give you the antidote to save your children as long as you meet my demand," Liam said, hoping Chorro would reconsider his decision."Do you also realize that I can as well find the antidote somewhere else? I'm sure there are doctors who can make them for me at a cheaper rate," Chorro responded, not giving up."And do you also realize
The moment Liam stepped into the room alongside the man who led him into the building, he noticed the armed men that were scattered around the room, it was a spacious room. A room large enough to contain two hundred people, who knew what the old man was up to.His gaze met Chorro's glare but Liam smiled back at the angry old man instead, disregarding his anger. Liam stepped forward and took the empty seat opposite Chorro, there was a huge table in between them. He leaned forward with his arms resting on the table's surface, he stared at Chorro for a few seconds before looking around the place with a knowing smile on his lips."I thought this was supposed to be a one-on-one conversation between us, who are these men?" Liam asked, referring to the armed men whom he could tell were obviously Chorro's bodyguards."That's not important, let's go straight to the point. I'm a very busy man and time is not on my side," Chorro grunted, he couldn't believe an idiot like Liam could use his own p
The call between Liam and Chorro ended after Chorro agreed to meet up with Liam. Liam was excited because this meant he should be prepared to hit the jackpot with Chorro. Of course, he knew it wouldn't be easy because that old man was a stubborn conniving goat and would try to pull off some tricks.Checking the time, it was just ten AM in the morning, he had about two hours before he would leave to meet Chorro. Getting up from the chair, Liam left the room to search for Alexander, he would be informing Alexander about the newest update.Reaching Alexander's office, they both had a long conversation and talked about Liam's plan. It was a risky one and Alexander suggested Liam go with some of his best men and Liam agreed to it. They couldn't afford to make any mistakes or fall for any of Chorro's tricks.At this point, it was either you kill or let yourself be killed and Liam was definitely ready to kill.Chorro had had the balls to threaten him and Alexander's company, it was best to g
The following morning, it was a Sunday morning, Liam woke up on his bed with Gianna next to him. They both had a steamy night last night and for some odd reason, he felt energetic even when yesterday had been a busy day which was a good thing for him.He quickly got out of bed and took his shower, after which he walked to the kitchen and made a quick breakfast of bacon sandwich toast, and coffee. He ate it up like a hungry dog and left the kitchen.Making his way back to his bedroom, Liam crosses paths with Nelson in the hallway. He gave him a side stare and just as Nelson could walk past him, Liam quickly held him back, stopping him from moving any further."What are you doing?" Nelson demanded with a deep frown, he glared at Liam but Liam wasn't fazed at all."I thought I should be a little troublesome this morning, why not?" Liam asked with a subtle smile as he looked down at Nelson who was shorter than him.Feeling agitated by Liam, Nelson let out a slow sigh, he was trying to cal
Apart from the servants and workers of the house, there were only five people in the mansion. Which were Liam, Alexander, Nelson, Kalel and Gianna. Amongst these people listed, everyone knew of their mission tonight except one person, Nelson.Chances are, Nelson sneaked in on their conversation and heard what Liam and Alexander discussed and while trying to leave the room, he accidentally pushed the flower vase and it fell and broke."Nelson was here," Liam stated with a shrug, he then placed his hands into his pocket and looked down at Alexander, and said, "Why did he run away though? We have nothing to hide from him and we equally have nothing to share with him," Liam said with a chuckle."So how is it going with the board of directors?" Alexander asked, changing the topic as he was equally curious to know.Maybe if Nelson got busy with work, he wouldn't find the time to act out of place at every chance he got, Alexander thought as he waited for Liam's response."Stubborn, they've r
The moment Liam stepped into his bedroom, the exhaustion from tonight's event finally came striking him hard and throwing him into the bed, with a tired sigh, he landed heavily on his soft bed as he hummed in satisfaction. The night had been a long night and Liam felt great that everything they had planned was executed successfully even though it had been a rough ride. There were times during the fight when as he threw punches and kicks he would wonder to himself how he even got to that point and why he was there to begin with. But then, he also had to remind himself that it all started with Chorro himself and whatever that old wag was going through, he deserved. Not only did he throw threats at Liam when he barely even started work as the new CEO, but he had planned to attack both the company, himself, and Alexander and take what wasn't his. Thankfully, he would never get to succeed because Liam was way stronger than anything Chorro would ever. After a short silence in his bed
As Lady Flora reached the door, she held the doorknob and before opening the door, she turned to face the guests who had briefly stopped their heated arguments and she said, "Bunch of fools that can't think properly with their brains. Since you all have legs and have refused to use them, then remain here," and after saying those words, she opened the door and stepped out, closing it behind her with a loud bang. Leaving everyone short of words and in astonishment, it was a long silence between them as they all took their time to understand what Lady Flora meant. Meanwhile, Lady Flora with a subtle smile on her lips left the suite and walked up to where the car was parked with her driver waiting for her, she got into the car and ordered the driver to drive off. While the other guests had been loud and rampaging, she had been standing quietly in a corner observing the whole situation. And from that moment up until now, she couldn't help but think how stupid the others were, just lik
Gianna looked around her in search of something to use to cool down the chaos around Liam, her eyes narrowed down at the sight before her with a soft hiss, she looked around until her gaze fell on the gun in Kalel's grasp and without wasting time, she quickly snatched it from him and as she cracked the gun, she screamed, "Everyone! Calm down now!" And afterwards shot right at the ceiling above them. The loud bang of the gunshot inside the room was finally able to get the people to quiet down and to finally let go of Liam as they all scrambled away to a corner for fear of the gun being shot at them. The ever so grateful Liam who came to stand beside Gianna, huffing and puffing for air had not expected that this would happen to him. These people were animals, he thought. Thankfully nothing bad happened to him and his body was still perfectly intact. After glaring hard at the guests who had now gathered in a corner as Gianna still had the gun pointed at them, they dared not take a s
"Do not take one more step forward," a voice was heard from the side when Kalel felt something cold being pressed on the side of his forehead, it was a gun. Now this was something unexpected for the both of them, Kalel had never thought they would encounter this, he wasn't even prepared. Meanwhile, Gianna who was the least worried or scared tried to hide the small smile that crept up her lips. Not because she was happy that they might get attacked or possibly killed I'm here, but because she would use this as a cue to prove herself to Kalel. That was the actual reason why she had told Kalel she wanted to go search for Liam and the others along with him because this was a chance for her to prove she was not weak. She would prove that by showing her fighting skills, she wasn't just all about beauty. And with that thought in mind, instead of remaining standing still like the man pointing the gun at Kalel had asked, she immediately turned around, and from behind Kalel, she used her
