2024-12-11 19:03:41The landlord revealed he sold Snow to the Nightingale family at an underground slave auction.
He revealed Reeves Nightingale ran the transaction, buying Snow in cash. Barry almost went nuts as the thought of Reeves claiming ownership of his sister's life filled him with cold dread. “You cold-hearted bastard,” Barry bawled at Barnes' face. “How could you do this to me behind my back? You didn't have to sell my sister just because we owe you rent.” Barnes was scared of the viciousness in Barry's eyes that he lost most of his colour. “I-It's not my fault,” Barnes retorted nervously. “A member of the Nightingale family needed a heart transplant. They took your sister to the Central hospital, and she was a perfect match. I couldn't resist the price Reeves offered me.” Barry smacked a blow to the side of Barnes' face, dislocating his jaw. “You're evil,” Barry said breathlessly, his voice laced with malice. “When I get back, I promise you, I'll have this apartment torn to the ground. Mark my words.” Without caring to check on Barnes, Barry rushed out of the apartment, waved down a taxi and urged the driver to drive as fast as he could to Central hospital. * * * * Barry stormed into Central hospital, approaching the reception desk with hurried strides. “I need to speak with the doctor in charge of the transplant surgery for the Nightingale family.” The receptionist hesitated at first before she responded. “He's currently having a meeting." Barry glanced over the counter at a list laying on her desk. It contained office numbers and names of each medical specialists. Barry was quick to grasp the little info on the heart transplant doctor and took off without waiting for her. He looked around every corridor and passages, his mind filled with desperation. Finally, he found the doctor's office and rushed in without knocking. Seated before the doctor was the Nightingale family. Reeves Nightingale was startled when he saw Moses. He jumped to his feet. “What the hell are you doing here, Barry?” Barry's blood boiled as he gazed at Reeves. Ignoring his tone, he stepped forward towards him. “Reeves, I learned you bought my sister from my landlord. Hand her over. I'm here to take her back.” Reeves was taken aback by Barry's bold demand. “That girl was your sister? It's a small world indeed. If I had known she was related to you, I'd have paid lesser for her.” “I don't want any trouble,” Barry said. “Just hand her over. She's all I've got left.” A cruel smile lit up Reeves' face. “What gives you the stupid idea I'll hand her over? Forget it, Barry. Your sister belongs to the Nightingale family now.” Barry spread his arms, his voice rising with frustration and anger. “My stupid landlord sold her without my permission over our unpaid rent. I have every possible rights to claim her back.” Reeves' grin widened. “That's no skin off my nose. She was brought to the underground slave auction this afternoon. I paid good money for her. She's mine now.” “Then let me pay you back,” Barry pleaded, staring around the office. “I'll double the price if it suits you. Just hand over my sister back.” Reeves slapped Barry hard across the cheeks, startling him. “You're too loud and annoying, Barry,” Reeves spat out. “You seem to forget you're standing before the Nightingale family– the top elite families in North Hills. Bow and show some respect.” Barry waited for the other members of the Nightingale family to say something, but they all looked at Barry with their nose up in the air, expecting him to bow and beg them. To their surprise, Barry ignored Reeves, then turned to Kane Nightingale, the patriarch of the Nightingale family. “Mr. Kane. You paid $250,000 for my sister. I'll double the price. Just release her.” Kane Nightingale frowned at Barry's unusual confidence. “Double the price, huh? Aren't you the broke son-in-law who's a leech from the Raven family? You can't even afford to pay your own rent without help from the deceased Mrs. Evelyn.” Barry clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white. “I'll get the money. If you want it now, I'll deliver.” Kane's eyes went icy. “I'm not giving your sister back, you piece of trash. My youngest daughter, Patty, is gravely ill and in need of a heart transplant. Your sister, Snow, is a perfect match.” “But if you do that, what's going to happen to my sister?” Barry demanded, almost viciously. “She would die. I can't stand and let her die just to save a total stranger. Name your price. I'll pay you whatever amount you demand to find someone else.” At that moment, Naomi Nightingale, Kane's wife, stood up abruptly and slapped Barry across the face. “You heartless pig,” she cursed. “So you would rather prefer my daughter to die while your stupid sister goes on living, right? Here's a news flash for you! Snow belongs to us now. You're never getting her back until our Patty's life is saved.” Barry realized something at that instant. These people didn't care about him or his sister. They were confident in their power and wealth to bend him to his knees. However, Barry wasn't intimidated anymore. Twenty-four hours ago, he would have broken into tears and pleaded on his knees. But not today. Barry was rich. Far richer than any human has ever been in the history of humankind. Something died inside Barry instantly. It was his humanity. He wanted to destroy these people. He wanted to dominate them and make them crawl on their knees. Not only that, but he wanted to make them suffer the humiliation and pains he endured all these years. Taking a deep breath, Barry narrowed his eyes and turned to the doctor. “How much are you willing to sell this hospital? I want to buy everything.” The doctor and the Nightingale family were taken aback by Barry's sudden demand. They weren't expecting it. “This institution is owned by the government,” the doctor replied. “It's not in my power to sell it.” “Everything has a price,” Barry said coolly, placing his hand on the table and leaning towards the doctor. “Call your superiors and inform them Central hospital is under a new management. If the government is willing to sell, I'll buy it.”

“You rotten piece of trash,” Reeves roared, slamming his fist on the desk. “How dare you ignore us and make such an outrageous demand? I'll have you skinned alive.”Before Reeves could make a move at Barry, Kane Nightingale stood up and raised a hand, stopping him immediately. He gazed at Barry with growing interest. “Don't push it, Reeves. Barry, you've piqued my interest. Do you really think you can buy this hospital which is owned by the government?”Barry looked straight into his eyes. “I will. Once I acquire it, the surgery won't happen.”Kane threw his head back and laughed as loud as he can. “This is just remarkable. You? Buy Central hospital? You're the same broke bastard who couldn't pay rent without the assistance of a dead woman.”Barry gritted his teeth. “Don't make mockery of Madam Evelyn.”Kane's smile widened into a smirk. “This is really entertaining to say the least. I'll humour you, Barry. Here's a deal. If you acquire this hospital this very night and prevent the s

Barry didn't want to reveal the entire truth. “I made a call to someone I knew.”He made it sounded so simple. As if he just pressed a few buttons. “Bullshit!” Kane Nightingale bawled angrily at him. “There's no way you could have pulled that off. Not only was the hospital bought out, but the government also forbade us from proceeding with the surgery. How did you pull it off?”Barry dug his hands in his pockets and gazed down at Kane. “What's this? I thought we had a deal? If I'm able to prevent the surgery, my sister leaves. That was the deal, or are you backing out on your words?”“You bastard!” Reeves yelled at Barry. “You had better start talking, or I'll rip you apart right here.”Barry frowned. “You can't do anything to me, Reeves. We had a deal and that's that. I won't disclose how I pull it off. I owe no one any explanation.” Barry approached the doctor in charge of the surgery and placed both hands on the desk. “About my sister, doctor. Where is she?”The doctor cleared hi

“Take it easy, that's painful,” Barnes groaned as his wife tended to his busted jaws. His wife hissed as she removed the ice bag from his jaw. “How could you let your tenant hit you that hard? And Barry for that matter.”“I didn't expect such a reaction from the kid,” Barnes barked, feeling humiliated at being punched by his tenant. “I can't believe you'll let that bastard get away with it,” his wife ranted. “You're a disgrace if you allow Barry to walk freely around without fixing him.”Barnes knew his wife would talk about this for weeks. She would definitely gossip to her friends and her friends would in turn tell their husbands.Soon, word would circulate and Barnes would end up becoming a laughingstock. His other tenants won't respect nor fear him. If Barry, a nobody could punch him and get away with it, the other tenants could feel the need to do the same when Barnes demands for his rent money. No, he can't allow that. No matter what, he must find Barry and make an example

Barnes heart skipped a beat when his wife delivered the bad news. “What do you mean they destroyed our house?” Barnes asked, grabbing her shoulder and giving her a little shake. His wife snapped angrily at him. “Are you deaf? Our home was demolished five minutes after you left. They said they were given orders and permission to demolish all our properties. As at this moment, they're currently demolishing our shopping complex. Do something, Barnes. They'd ruin us all.”Barnes eyes widened in shock. He glanced at Barry and saw the seriousness in his eyes. That was when he realized Barry wasn't fooling around. “Barry, what have you done?” Barry wore back his dark glasses. “I kept my promise to you, landlord. You never should have sold my sister in the first place. This is your punishment for your wickedness.”Barnes owned the block of apartments which his twenty tenants lived in. He also owned a small shopping complex and a private house. If what his wife was telling him was true,

How can I be of help to you?”“I need a house,” Barry answered. “Preferably at Diamond estate.”“What kind of house do you want, Barry?” Veronica asked. Barry smiled. “The best money can buy.”“Say no more,” Veronica replied him. “I'm going to contact the real estate board. You don't mind me giving them your number do you?”Moses shook his head. “No I don't.”“Very well, Barry,” Veronica said.

The Real estate agent scoffed. “What mistake are you talking about? Get lost, or I'll have no other choice but to call the cops to kick you out.”Just then, the agent's phone rang, breaking the tense silence hanging in the atmosphere. He hurriedly pulled out his phone and was startled to see the caller ID was his superior. “Hello, Mr. Hemsworth,” the agent said respectfully. “Has the buyer arrived yet, Jerry?” Mr. Hemsworth asked over the line. Barry who had been listening caught the agent's name. "So the agent's name is, Jerry," Barry thought. Jerry sighed, pacing up and down. “It's been nearly an hour and I still haven't seen him.”“What! An hour? What's taking him so long?” Hemsworth demanded. “Is he serious about buying this house or not.”“Beats me,” Jerry turned to Barry and sneered at him. “There's someone here though, but he's a nobody.”“A nobody? Who the bloody hell is that?” Hemsworth asked, curiously. “Oh you wouldn't know him because you're new in North Hills,” Jer

Later that evening, Barry returned to the motel to pick up his sister. Snow was reading a book when Barry barged into their room. “Pack up Snow,” Barry announced with a big smile on his face. “We're moving out of this cheap motel.”Snow kept her book aside, curious about Barry's improved mood. “We're moving? Where to?” She asked. Barry sat on the bed, stretching his hand to caress her hair. “Remember that interview I told you I was going to?”Snow nodded. “Yeah, sure. How was it?”“I got hired at the spot,” Barry lied. “My new boss seemed to like me. He needed someone he could trust. Someone who could look after his house while he's away on business trips.”Snow raised an eyebrow. “You're going to be a caretaker?”Barry nodded, feeling embarrassed at the lies he was spilling to her. “You see, my new boss bought this expensive mansion, but he's rarely in the country to live in it. He needs someone he could trust to live inside and look after the house for him while he's away.”Snow

The Cafe meeting
Barry finished his last drink in one swift motion, then he set the glass down on the table. He leaned back in his chair and let out a deep breath. "Thank you for listening to my backstory. I haven't told anyone about this except Madam Evelyn."Sebastian stepped forward and began clearing the table in silence. "Master," Sebastian began, breaking the still silence, "what do you intend to do about your father? He seems quite determined to see you."Barry's eyes narrowed, his jaw tightening as he considered the question. "I'll set up guards at the gates," he said firmly. "If Loid shows his face around any of my properties, they'll kick him out without a second thought. I don't want him anywhere near me or Snow."Sebastian nodded, placing the last of the dishes on the tray. "It's fortunate that Miss Snow is still at school, boarding. I imagine you wouldn't want her to see him and be reminded of... everything.""Exactly," Barry replied sharply. "Snow doesn't need to be dragged into this
Loid Reeds
Barry left Elite High School in a good mood. He had spoken to Snow about Sebastian. She seemed to be doing well in school. Barry couldn't have been happier. As he drove his bike back to the diamond estate, he met a man standing right outside the gates of his mansion. "Excuse me, can I help you?" Barry asked, killing the engine of his bike. "This is private property.""I'm looking for the owner of this house, King," the man said, turning around to face Barry. "I heard he's housing a servant named Barry."Barry caught his breath sharply as he instantly recognized who this man was. This was the man Barry had always hated. The same man who abandoned him and Snow when they were kids.Loid Reeds is Barry's father. * * * * Loid and Barry stood staring at each other in silence. Barry was still wearing his helmet which hide his entire features from his father. He couldn't believe his father had traced him all the way to his home. How dare him?Loid cleared his throat.

Daphne's father
Barry was clad in a black leather jacket over a simple white t-shirt, paired with fitted denim jeans. His boots clicked against the polished marble floor as he strode confidently toward Snow. A pair of sunglasses rested on his face, elevating his looks.The moment he entered, the room shifted. Girls whispered among themselves, their gazes locked onto him in admiration.Even Daphne’s cheerleader squad suddenly straightened up, eyes widening at the sight of him.Snow, seeing her brother at last, ran straight into his arms and embraced him tightly. “You’re late,” she pouted, looking up at him with slight annoyance. "Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting for you?"Barry removed his sunglasses, tucking them into his jacket pocket as he smiled down at her. “Sorry, kiddo. I got caught in a traffic jam.”Snow studied his face for a moment before sighing. “I was worried,” she admitted, stepping back. “But I’m glad you’re here.”Just then, a scoffing voice cut through the moment.
Visitation Day
Snow sat in the grand visitation hall of Elite High School, her fingers nervously tapping against the edge of the polished mahogany table. The hall was reserved for parents who had come to visit their children at Elite High boarding school.To Snow's surprise, the hall was filled with the wealthiest families in the country.Around her, the other students were surrounded by their families, their tables occupied with lavish gifts and treats. One girl’s parents had brought a limited-edition designer handbag that wasn’t even available in stores yet.At another table, a boy was handed the keys to a brand-new sports car. Snow’s eyes flicked to the piles of shopping bags, the gleaming jewelry, and the latest tech gadgets being passed around. But Snow’s table was empty. No gifts, no family, no one. She wasn’t jealous—she had everything she could ever want.All she wanted was just to see her brother.She glanced at her watch for what felt like the hundredth time. Barry was late. He was ne
Sebastian
The Mario brothers exchanged glances after Barry called for Sebastian.Then they burst into laughter. PLorenzo tilted his head, a mocking grin spreading across his face. “You never cease to amuse me, Barry. Who do you think you're calling for help?”Antonio chuckled, leaning back in his chair. “I don't think anyone is coming for your rescue. Give it up, boy. You're a dead man.”Barry’s face went pale. His heart pounded as he glanced around the room. Where was Sebastian? He had promised—no matter where Barry was, all he had to do was call. So why wasn’t he here?A cold sweat broke out on Barry’s forehead as the realization sank in. Sebastian wasn't coming. Had he misjudged the butler’s loyalty? Or worse, had Sebastian been a figment of his imagination all along?Barry’s heart pounded in his chest. He had gambled everything on Sebastian’s promise, and now he was alone, kneeling before two of the most dangerous men in the city.Lorenzo stood up, his laughter fading as he reached for t
The third option
Barry waited for days, then weeks, expecting the Mario brothers to make their move. But nothing happened. No threats, no ambushes, no attempts to intimidate him. It was as if his rejection had been met with silence. Life went on as usual. Barry attended to his studies, managed his investments, and even found time to relax. Sebastian, true to his word, proved to be an impeccable butler. He kept Barry’s mansion spotless, prepared gourmet meals, and handled every task effortlessly. Barry was slowly getting used to having him around.Still, he couldn’t shake the feeling that Sebastian was a walking enigma. Barry had an uneasy feeling he had struck a deal with a demon but he couldn't be too sure. He was yet to witness the full force of Sebastian's powers before he could come up with a conclusion. One morning, as Barry sat in the dining room enjoying a cup of coffee, he glanced at the calendar on the wall. “Today’s Visiting Day at Elite High School,” he said, more to himself than t

“Alright,” Sebastian stretch his arms. “First order of business—I'll unfreeze the young lady and wipe her memory. She doesn’t need to remember any of this.”Sebastian snapped his fingers, and Roxanne suddenly blinked, her body relaxing as if she had just woken up from a trance. She looked around, confused.“What… what just happened?” she asked, her voice shaky. “Why are we standing here?”Barry stepped forward, a calm expression written on his face. “You zoned out for a second, Roxanne. Are you feeling okay?”Roxanne frowned, rubbing her temples. “I… I think so. I just feel a little dizzy.”Barry placed a hand on her shoulder, his tone gentle. “You should go home and rest. It’s been a long day.”Roxanne nodded, still looking dazed. “Yeah… you’re right. I’ll see you later, Barry.”As she walked away, Barry watched her leave, his mind racing with excitement. Sebastian’s power was unlike anything he had ever seen.With a snap of his fingers, he had frozen Roxanne in place and erased he
Sebastian Graves
Barry and Roxanne exchanged glances as they stared at this strange man.“Serve me? What are you talking about?” “Yes,” Sebastian replied smoothly. “I wish to pledge my undying loyalty to you. I have heard about you and deemed you a worthy master.” Barry frowned in confusion. “I think you're mistaking me for someone else. I don’t need a butler.” Sebastian chuckled, his fingers tapping against his briefcase. “Ah, but you do, Master Barry.” His red eyes gleamed. “The Order has taken an interest in you.” At the mention of The Order, Barry’s expression turned serious. Sebastian noticed the change in his demeanor and smiled wider. “Ah, I assume I've finally caught your attention.” Barry’s voice dropped low. “What do you know about The Order?” Sebastian stepped closer, lowering his voice as well. “I know they are not offering you protection out of goodwill.” Barry frowned. “What do you mean?” Sebastian tilted his head. “You are a wealthy man. Far wealthier than any man who's
The strange Butler
Barry leaned back in his chair, pressing an ice pack to his swollen eye. His mind was still racing from everything that had happened with the Mario brothers. Without wasting time, he grabbed his phone and dialed Veronica’s number. She answered on the first ring. “Hello, Barry?” “Are you busy, Veronica?” he asked, adjusting the ice pack against his bruised face. “Not really,” she replied. “Is there a problem?” Barry exhaled, shaking his head slightly. “Today… I was taken in by the Mario brothers. They made me an offer. Have you heard about The Order?” A sharp gasp came from the other end of the line. There was a brief silence before Veronica spoke again. “The Order?” she repeated, almost in shock. “Barry, do you have any idea what the Order means?” Barry raised a brow. “I take it you do?” Veronica took a deep breath. “My late grandfather was once a member of The Order… back in his younger days.” Barry sat up straighter. “Your Grandfather?” “Yes,” she confirmed. “
