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 few minutes ago back at the abandoned building, Matt had forcefully dropped the spade on the ground with a loud harsh thud. At first, he wasn't sure if that was a good idea, but then, that was the only thing he could come up with at the time and not to mention, he had to leave somehow.With the men chatting and laughing so loudly, they looked like they were all relaxed and having fun. But the loud sound coming from a distance was more than enough to grab their attention. Silence soon fell amongst them as the sound of the spade hitting the ground echoed around."Hey, what was that? Did you all hear that?" One of the men asked no one in particular. But they nodded and the man who was supposed to be their boss who had bumped into Matt earlier said, "I sure did hear that."With their heads turned in the direction of the building, one of them pointed at it and said, "It's coming from that building, should we go check it out?"They all nodded in agreement and slowly stood up from their res
"Matt? You look worn out, what happened to you?" Nick who had been staring at Matt since he stepped into the house asked, his stares were scrutinizing Matt. And with his intent stares, he was quick to notice what was off about Matt. One would think the young man was chased by death himself.Nick's voice resonated in the quiet dining, grabbing everyone's attention as both Susan and Cara gave Matt a close look. Hearing Nick's question, Matt felt his soul would leave his body. He lifted his gaze to stare at Nick while he wondered why Nick suddenly had his full attention on him to the extent of noticing how he looked.Realizing that Cara and Susan were silently waiting for a response from him, Matt chuckled and a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes followed before saying, "Ahh...you see when I heard how desperately Cara had begged me on the phone to come over for dinner. I had to leave the important meeting I was having with my father to make sure I didn't miss this dinner. I ran as qu
"Is this blood on your shirt?" Cara who held a deep curious frown on her face asked Matt while still staring at his clothes. Matt whose eyes were closed as he was ready to sleep off snapped them open with a confused look. He first stared at Cara who stared back at him before looking down at his clothes, Matt cursed in his mind as he slowly closed his eyes. The blood stains on his shirt were because of what he did in that abandoned building where he buried his mother. He had used the spade to cut her head off which had caused blood to splash on him. Though he had not noticed it but when he was leaving that building after he had dropped that spade to cause a loud sound, he had grabbed a black jacket he found while leaving the small neighbourhood. And when it was time to go to bed, he had removed the jacket, leaving only his shirt which was stained. Deep down, Matt was thankful he hadn't removed the jacket when they were having dinner, he was sure Nick would have noticed the blood stai
That same night, inside a luxurious bar, people could be seen around drinking and having fun. The bar had a piece of loud music booming from the speaker and the people inside the bar danced to it.Amongst these people was Aamon Chorro seated on a VIP chair, three bodyguards stood beside him and seated before Chorro was Nelson who held onto the cup of alcohol in his hands. His small frame seared on that chair was constantly drawing people's attention towards him and that made sense because it wasn't every day a person would come to see someone as young as Nelson in this bar. It was mostly older men and women, especially the rich ones. And if you were to find anyone as young as him, they would be ladies."So to what do I owe this rendezvous?" Chorro asked as he dropped the glass of whiskey on the table after taking a sip.Nelson looked at Chorro while wondering if this man could be trusted. Earlier today when he saw the interaction between Liam and Chorro, although Liam had seemed to h
Nelson stared at Chorro for a good one minute before saying, "You'll get the highest control over Sterling Global Ventures."Chorro smiled broadly on hearing the young man's words. His statement did sound enticing and Chorro could tell he lacked proper knowledge or experience with things like this, using him without the young man even realizing it was super easy."Doesn't sound bad but I'd like for you to elaborate," Chorro said with a daunting smile, this was getting interesting for him and he liked where the conversation was going.Nelson who did not feel anything was odd looked at Chorro before saying, "What I mean is, although I would become the new CEO once Liam is removed, you will have at most eighty percent control over Sterling Global Ventures, even more than my uncle has. I don't even care, for as long as Liam is removed from the picture." Nelson explained with a determined frown on his eyebrows.Again, silence prevailed between them as Chorro said nothing in reply to the yo
The following morning, Liam who had no idea of what was brewing against him was already awake and was prepared to go to work. It was past seven and in a few minutes, it would clock eight. Looking at what the time said, Liam was sure Alexander had already left for work. These days the old man hardly bothered him.Liam had a different plan for this morning, instead of going to the company, he would go visit Mr Broda in his bar to apologize to the old man for leaving abruptly without informing him.And as usual, Liam wore a pair of suits, dark I'm colour. His shoes were also black and spotless. An expensive designer watch was on his wrist, of course, he didn't buy the watch, he just found it in his closet as Alexander had made sure everything was prepared for him.Like he always did, his hair was styled neatly to his satisfaction. Liam picked up his suitcase and stared at his reflection in the full-length mirror, it had become a daily norm for him to check himself before stepping out. Af
