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
The moment Liam had stepped out of the mansion, Nelson who still stood by the door with his cup of coffee smiled wider. With a slurping sound, he took a long sip from his coffee that had now turned warm enough for a person to drink in one gulp, but Nelson wanted to savour his coffee instead. He then turned to face the maid who stood by the dining table with her hands folded before her. Looking at her, Nelson asked, "Did you put what I ordered you to put in his coffee?" He was referring to Liam's coffee. The maid whose gaze had been lowered lifted it to look at Nelson, she nodded and him and said, "Yes sir, I added it to Sir Liam's coffee." Her response had Nelson nod at her before looking away from her. There was happiness evident in Nelson's eyes. Everything was going according to plan. Now he could only hope that Liam would drink that coffee till the cup would become empty and then await the good news that would soon. Nelson then turned around and stepped into the dining room, he
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
