The new boss looked at Bruce and pleaded with a trembling voice. “Please Bruce, I beg you. Do not leak these pictures. Please do not destroy my career and life. Please!!”Bruce expression softened a bit, but he was still firm with his request. “Alright.” he said with a measured tone. “I will keep them private and secured but my demands has not changed. In exchange, you would have to give my position back to me. You will leave that position and make sure that I am reinstated back as the head of this company.”The new boss was clearly disturbed. His mind was racing. This was a very difficult situation.“But you know that will not sit well with the higher management. They would want to know why a sudden change like that is happening, especially without prior notice.”Bruce’s eyes narrowed at this point and he spoke with an air of authority. “That is your problem now. You need to figure it out and make them see why it is happening. Just make sure the higher management accepts your decisio
Later that night after Justin had taken Robert to an hotel to get him a temporary accommodation, back at the landlord’s house, he was seated in his living room, quietly enjoying the calmness of the night. He was oblivious to what Robert may be going through after he had evicted him from his apartment. He had only acted based on instructions. But little did he know tonight was going to be a night he would not forget in a hurry.The first sign there was trouble tonight was when the power suddenly went out. The lights flickered once, twice, and then it was out, putting the whole building into darkness. The landlord was surprised as he tried to reach for his phone, but before he could even reach it, a loud crash resounded from the front door. The door had been kicked open with a huge force.The landlord turned around as he panicked, jumping to his feet on reflex. He could hear muffled voices, which appears to be in the middle of a struggle. He didn’t know that his bodyguards were being ta
The landlord saw that underground boss was not a man he could bargain with. He swallowed hard as the reality of his situation was beginning to sink in. The underground boss was not just making a threat, he was giving him an Ultimatum. Sign the papers, or face consequences far worse than being broke.One of the man’s bodyguard moved forward and said. “Sign them. Or we will make sure you can not sign anything ever again.”The landlord looked at the documents on the table again. He knew what was coming and his fear was obvious. But in spite of that, he could not just bring himself to sign. This property was his legacy. How could he just give it away so simply?The boss looked at him and said. “You have had time to think. I hope you have made the best decision.”But then, the boss noticed the landlord’s hesitation. “You are making this more difficult than it should be.” He said with a dangerous tone. “Sign these papers and we can all get it over with.”The landlord shook his head as he s
Justin was still looking at him with a small smile on his lips. “We have a lot to do today.” He said calmly. “But first, I want you to go to the hospital and meet with your landlord.”Robert was confused as he blinked his eyes, the words taking some time to register in his mind. “The hospital? Why would I need to go there and meet my landlord?“Because you need to make the payment for the property.” Justin explained. “The twenty five thousand dollars as seen in the document. Once you pay that, the whole property will belong to you legally.”Robert’s eyes widened in shock. “Are you serious? Yes. I saw it on the document, but this is happening for real?”Justin replied. “Yes, it us happening for sure. The landlord is at the hospital as we speak, and this is the perfect time to make the payment and ensure everything is finalized. I understand it’s a lot to take in at the moment but trust me, its for the best.For some time, Robert just stared at Justin, trying to process all that has bee
Robert nodded, drawing strength from the words of Justin. After that Justin opened the door and stepped inside with Robert following closley behind him.The sight that they met as they moved in was sobering to say the least. The landlord was on a hospital bed with an heavily bruised arm which had been bandaged. His face was also swollen and bruised from all the beating the men of the underground boss.He looked up as they entered, his eyes widening in alarm as he saw Robert walked in behind someone he didn't recognize.The landlord thought of the times he had dismissed Robert in his mind as just a small fry and now, it seems this man had connections to the powerful people of the underworld.The landlord tried to talk but he could only manage a low voice which was almost like a whisper as Justin and Robert got closer."Ro..Robert, How do you know those people? The ones who did....did this to me?"Robert was surprised by that question as he stopped in his track. He looked at Justin quic
The transformation that has taken place in Robert's life since he and Justin reconnected can be described as dramatic.It started with getting new clothes as his worn out clothes does not befit him anymore. He now have an impressive wardrobe filled with high end clothes, owns and driver an exotic sports car and now, to the latest one, he is now the owner of a building that's worth million of dollars.Everything had happened so suddenly and it made him feel bewildered as to how it happened. The feeling was exhilarating.As he and Justin drove away from the hospital, the new life seems to weigh on him and he sighed heavily.He looked at Justin, who has been behind the changes in his life and he couldn't help but feel that there is more to his friend that meet the eye.He had to ask him because he was both in awe and was confused. "Justin, who are you really? I mean, my life has changed significantly since we reconnected and I can't help but wonder who you are or have grown to become. Yo
Jolce arrived in the country where Justin was but she didn't inform him before hand. She wanted it to be a surprise for him. She had missed him and given the fact that she didn't know when he would be back, she decided to go see him where he was.But she didn't want to ruin whatever effect her coming may have on him by letting him know.That's why it's meant to be a Surprise. To make sure the person was not expecting it.As usual, she was dressed in a graceful and elegant manner. She seems to radiate as she stepped down from the plane. She strode gently towards where her luggage was and picked it up.Her mind was already thinking about howJustin would react when he finally gets to know she's in the country to see him.She giggled lightly as the thought flooded her mind.However, her thoughts were interrupted by an unexpected person. As she was making her way towards the taxi stand, a man's voice rang out, cutting her thought short."Excuse me miss." The voice said with confidence. Jo
Jolce was visibily frustrated and it seems to grow as each minute go by.She stood close to where the playboy was standing. This should not be happening. She just wanted to come into this country and have a little fun with her Man, whom didn't know she was even in the country. She came here to surprise him only to be held up by an unwanted interference in her journey.This was a huge inconvenience.If she had called Justin, this can be averted but she did not want to call him. She wanted to handle it on her own.Luckily for her, she has friends in the city. It was actually one of the reasons she came into the country without telling Justin. She had people she knows there. So it was not like she just woke up one day and jumped on the next available flight out of the country to this place. She had planned it all out.She decided to reach out to them and let them know about her situation, and also bring a car with them to the airport to come take her away.She reached for her phone and
