Why are you trying to steal from me? Let go of me!" Jeffery began to scream as John attempted to send a punch to his face.

John stood confused, his face wrinkling up as his hands still clenched Jeffrey's shirt. "What are you talking about? Steal from you?" John asked.

The onlookers were agitated, edging closer to the scene, and soon enough, some security personnel arrived.

"I told you not to mess with me. Here is your punishment," Jeff whispered into John's ear, a slight smirk playing on his lips as people encircled them.

There were hushed whispers among those watching, accompanied by pointing fingers.

"Isn't this the same man who was called a thief outside?" One of the store onlookers queried her companions.

Modelisa also approached the scene, but she stood a bit far from Jeffery and John, watching with a smirk on her face.

"Let go of me, you petty thief!" Jeffery thundered, struggling with John while the guards intervened to separate them.

"Why are you creating this scene? When did

    "I should be dead by now," John thought to himself as he stared at the ceiling, his hands clasped tightly together. Dark shadows danced across the room, casting an eerie glow.He reminisced about his life thus far. Dinner with Miss B was just over, and he had retreated to his room, with Miss B insisting they postpone any conversation about Stephanie for the night, citing John's need for rest after the tumult of accusations and insults hurled at him in the boutique.Though John longed to discuss it, he couldn't bring himself to pressure Miss B. Despite being young, her determination rivaled that of a lion's.Yet sleep eluded John as memories flooded his mind. Each attempt to push them aside only brought forth more vivid recollections, like Jeffrey's callous remark on how he fucked his ex wife on their supposed one year anniversary , a cruel reminder of the betrayal that had festered long before. Was it solely about money? Had she ever truly loved him?Tears welled in his eyes as the hu

    “You've got to be kidding me, right?” John's voice trembled with sudden terror and amazement, and his face contorted with a mix of emotions. His eyes widened, then narrowed, struggling to comprehend.“No, I'm not kidding. Just as surprised as you are now, I was equally shocked when I discovered it,” Miss B replied, her voice tinged with seriousness and her nod affirming her words.John leaned back, his eyes darting around as he absorbed the newfound information. It felt like something out of a fictional movie, yet the gravity of the situation etched on Miss B's face left no room for doubt; she was dead serious.“I don’t understand,” John began, regaining control of his senses. “How did you uncover all of this?” he inquired, curiosity driving his words.“Well, after my father's passing, I entered the picture. You see, while my father was alive, I wasn't deeply involved in the business, and some of the workers weren't even aware of my existence. He was a private person.” Miss B paused,

    "Things feel fishy to me," John began, his fingers gently stroking his beard as his gaze wandered without focus."I've known Stephanie for a long time, and I may not have known about her shady side or that she was capable of all this, but one thing I'm sure of is that she's not capable of such elaborate planning on her own. This is beyond what she could do alone. It's a great, elaborate scheme," John added with a sigh, his tone heavy with concern."Voila! You get it. I thought as much," Miss B exclaimed, snapping her fingers with excitement. "I've also considered it, and honestly, this is a lot to put together. I don’t think she's in on this alone," Miss B asserted, taking a step closer to John."Stephanie has little to no knowledge about business, and even in her company, she relies on a couple of business and financial advisors," John reflected, his gaze turning inward. "Now I understand. I was wondering how her business skyrocketed so high in just a few months. Though I was too cau

    Two weeks had passed since the discussion between John and Miss B while planning how to bring down Stephanie and Jeffrey, as well as how to uncover those involved in the elaborate scheme.John had suggested that he wouldn't immediately confront Jeffrey and Stephanie, opting instead to allow them space to bond and potentially forget about him. Approaching them right away might raise suspicions. In the preceding days, John had diligently applied skincare products to artificially age his face and had eaten less to appear malnourished. He need to make Stephanie and Jeffery genuinely believe that he was impoverished.Throughout this period, John had resolved within himself that he would do whatever it took to bring down Stephanie and Jeffrey. He acknowledged the sacrifices he might have to make and was prepared to do anything necessary to accomplish his goal. He was ready to lose his pride and crush his ego."Are you still certain about this?" Miss B inquired, observing John as he donned t

    John followed Jeffrey into the house, each step deeper into the familiar surroundings, stirring up memories. It had once been his sanctuary, a home he painstakingly built with sweat and tears for himself, but then it all crumbled away, slipping through his fingers like sand. "Hey, babe, you're back." Stephanie's voice crashed into John's ears as they entered the house."Yes, baby," Jeffrey responded, embracing Stephanie and planting a passionate kiss on her lips.A sword of anger pierced John's heart as he watched his ex-wife tenderly embrace his best friend, their intimacy stinging like salt on a wound. He clenched his teeth and balled his fists in frustration."Who is that?" Stephanie asked, her face twisted in disdain as she pointed a finger at John, her once-beloved husband."You won't believe it," Jeffrey chuckled, casting a satisfied smirk in John's direction. "Guess who that is?""I don't know, but he looks like some kind of madman. Why did you bring a lunatic into our house?"

    The next morning, John was dragged out of the dog cage, confused about his whereabouts."Where are you taking me? Why aren't we going into the house?" John asked, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.Before he could finish his statement, water was forcefully poured over him, blinding him momentarily."What the hell..." John snarled, using his hands to shield himself from the deluge."What... what's going on here?" John demanded, still trying to comprehend what was happening as water cascaded over his face and body."You're taking a shower." Stephanie's sarcastic voice cut through the chaos.Stephanie, dressed in a classic white cotton gown, stood nearby, her hands folded together with a smirk playing on her lips. Beside her, Jeffrey wore the same demonic smirk, their dark intentions gleaming in their eyes."What?" John asked, struggling as the water forcefully scrubbed his body, his confusion and perplexity evident."Pay attention to his armpit. He nearly killed me with the smell that

    "What are you talking about? Is he rich?" Stephanie asked, looking at her mom, completely perplexed.John's face instantly turned rosy as he feared his secret would be revealed. He wondered how Modelisa managed to find out."Yes, he's not as poor as he appears. He's actually very wealthy," Modelisa insisted, her eyes fixed on John. "Or am I mistaken, John Beckham?" she added, shrugging and giving John a stern stare."I'm in trouble," John thought to himself as Modelisa insisted he was rich. Stephanie and Jeffrey narrowed their eyes and raised their eyebrows, looking at John suspiciously."I don't know what you're talking about. I think there's a misunderstanding. I don't know anything about what you're saying. I can't be rich and here begging for a job," John finally spoke after taking a deep breath. He made sure to maintain his composure so Stephanie and Jeffrey wouldn't realise he was scared and tense from lying to them.The tension between them escalated by the minute. John was afr

    "Welcome, the newest member of the company," Stephanie said, a smile lingering on her face as John walked into the office.Every eye was on him, some with curiosity, others with disdain, and a few with genuine interest. People looked at him disgustingly, and some began to murmur as they watched him walk in wearing those dirty and drenched clothes."Welcome," the members of the company said unanimously as John stood in the middle of the circle."I'm sure you all might know that he was the former owner of this company, right?" Stephanie began and stood up from the chair she was seated on. That was clearly one of the embarrassment schemes she was playing out. It was clear that she never got tired of embarrassing John at each opportunity that came her way. "I guess we are even," John scoffed, a little smile tingling around his lips."Most certainly," Miss B said. "So, what happened?" she asked.John sighed before saying, "A lot, actually."Just before John could speak further, he heard a

    “I still can’t believe we’ve finally gotten rid of Stephanie and all the drama she brought into our lives,” Miss B said, her voice laced with a mixture of relief and lingering disbelief. She was seated opposite John, her eyes scanning his face for any signs of the tumultuous emotions that had plagued them both in the recent past. The weight of the ordeal they had endured was still fresh, but so was the sweet taste of victory.John’s lips curled into a smirk, a subtle but telling expression that spoke volumes of the satisfaction brewing within him.

Stephanie, Jeffrey, and their cohorts, who had once loomed large over their lives like dark, ominous clouds, were now nothing more than a distant, fading memory.

    "It's not fair you know " Carl smirked as he advanced into the Training chamber. Seeing him disgusted me and also scared my ass out. He stopped abruptly where I stood and gosh, I felt like he really had an ulterior motive." Sorry Carl, we just needed to sweat a little before you arrive" Brad apologies smiling and Carl as well was smiling." No eish man, at least i am here now" I bawled and spanked my ass tight before he walked away giving me a wink. I shook on the spank he gave to me as I wasn't expecting such dirty behavior from him at that time." What's wrong?" Alexis inquired as she noticed the way I shook. I ground my teeth and scowled at Carl but actually that's all I could do." No it's nothing, I am fine" I said, staring at Carl angrily. " Are you sure you're fine" Alexis persisted and I gazed at her pissed off." I just said I am Fucking fine Alex" I snapped and she shrugged."

    " It's actually a long story" I said and dabbed my gaze away from hers. I became a little shaky and tense remembering my essence for coming in the first place." Are you sure? You can talk to me" she said and placed her hand on my thighs, slowly rubbing my pants. I glimpsed at her and grunted." Yeah, I am fine. It's really nothing important" I said stuttering but then had a valiant look to make my facade believable. She stared at me for a while and then nodded. I sighed and smiled as well.I sipped the tea but then I realized that I had nowhere to go after taking the tea. My eyes widened and the tea hooked in my throat. I didn't want Chloe's mom to know my broken side, but then I really needed her help in order to know where Adrian lived and how to get to him. "I will be right back, I need to go give Chloe her pills" she said and stood up."Umm hmm" I muttered and nodded, with a fake smile. I watched her walk away and when she was no longer in sight, I dropped the tea cup down and s

    I pulled the door open and peeped outside. It was perch black but then I saw Zelda not so far from the door." Zelda?" I called out not so sure if my mind. She quickly rushed her head and turned back to me. She was backing me earlier before I beckoned on her. " Alina, why are you outside?" She queried and quickly rushed back to me. She walked back to me as I was also standing outside. She stood in front of me and I could read from her uncertain visage that something was wrong."I spoke to Chloe and she told me you were outside. I came to check up on you." I bawle gently, whilst my eyes traveled around still surveying for anyone or anything weird. I was sure I heard a voice when I opened the door before it died off."Oh okay, let's go inside" she said and led the way but then I held her as she tried walking past me. " What's wrong? I am sure you are hiding something from me." I snapped staring into her face. She glared at me and then pushed a smile up. Thought It was very evidently

    " You!!!?" I queried in surprise..I was caught off guard seeing that Zelda was the one who rat me out to Tiana. I was still shocked how she knew I was hiding something."Yes, I did it, '' she said, smiling. My eyes widened in fear and my jaw cracked slightly.we both stared into each other's eyes but then I wondered why she was smiling so broadly."How did you know and why did you do it?" I questioned whilst she took steps closer to me. My eyes didn't blink as I fixated it on her. "I wanted to make you happy and put a smile on your face, '' she bawled. I was totally confused at what she was driving out. She ratted me out to Tiana and said she did it to make me happy. I gasped and gaped in shocn for a couple of seconds. But then how did she know that I was hiding something. That was the question that filled my mind and head."You wanted to make me happy? How is that, I never thought you'd do such to me. What did you even know?" I asked with a firm scowl. Suddenly the smile she had on h

    "Let's go now and avenge Chloe's death,” Zelda snapped. I was also enraged and ready to attack. “ This is what I wanted to hear. I want war” Maddy snarled at me. I huffed and shook as she spoke. I wasn't really expecting it to take as it seemed she ran away when Chloe lost her life.“No, we are not doing that” Adrian said. We all turned out gae at him. He seems very serious but rh I wondered why he was throwing the mission out through the window.“ Why!?“ Zelda questioned immediately before I could even speak. I had to swallow my words which were vait coming out.“ That's because we are not ready. Tiana is not Someone we are going to attack when we are not prepared. She is fully ready for us and she will be waiting for us to take this move. I'm sure she has already laid a trap for us as she did today but this time around we aren't going to get entangled in it”. Adrian said. Thinking about it made me see the reason for his disapproval and it was the best idea.“But what's about Chloe'

    "What the fuck!!" Adrian snapped, staring around. There were about five who walked into the room. One if reh faces looked very familiar.I remembered quickly, it was Jared Adrian's friend who had visited with him. Palaska. He wore a bold face and a scowl. It was obvious he was ready to do and undo." Adrian and his love bird, so this is where hiding" Jared asked. The rest four men wehere behind him..they were all. Dressed in black clothes. He had a smirk. On his face as he swung into that room.I turned to Zelda who seemed very surprised and scared. The atmosphere of the room switched. We would have ran outside using the backdoor, but then the house didn't even have a back door." Jared, so she sent you to get me, '' Adrian added and walked in, standing in front of Zelda and I. He clenched his fist so tightly. His eyes were narrowed."Oh yeah, I am here to get you"Jared poured out and smiled.

Sir Luca led the way whilst adiea flower and I and the Zelda ass behind me. “This place Is quite dark” I said dn before I could finish my statement, there was light that just popped right on. It was Adrian who turned it on as he flipped a switch. I strolled my eyes around and it was well built and situated.“Do you like it?“ Adrian asked and hid my hand. He stared at me sideways as dropped a scoff.“ I think I do” I whispered. He hid and shook his head. We went deeper into the well widened space. My eyes strolled around as usual and I loved what I saw. There was a bench at the side of the room. The floor was concrete and there was a ring in the middle .“ So Alina, are you ready?“ Sir uxks spoke for.the first time as well entere ..my eyes rolled around and then intoona Depp sigh as I was about entering a different chapter of my life ka trying to see if truly u was capable of being called an Arctic wolf and if truly I was the savior of the region.“ Ye

    " What's wrong Alina?" Adrian questioned with his eyes widely opened in shock as to the way and swiftness with which I sprouted up from the couch."Zelda and Chloe" I said and my hands pressed around my head. I never thought about it but then Tiana was going to get to them if I didn't get to them first. I told her she was my only family. I paced the room very distressed. My heart throbbing out of my body."Zelda and Chloe? What happened to them?" He queried with a stressed gaze and narrowed brows and eyes. I pulled himself up from the bed with his bare chest popping right in my face as I wasn't so far from him." They are in danger. Zelda and her daughter are really in danger. I stayed in her house whilst I worked at the mansion. Tiana knows her and I am very sure she is going to want to get to her. She is going to want to inquire from her where I am because we had lied to her that we are siblings. Tiana is surely going to question her if not harm her" I spat and my hands started shak
