"I think it's time I taught that woman a lesson or two," Edgar said bitterly as he looked around the messed up kitchen which was most probably messed up on purpose for him to clean up.
"I think so too, but you should do it in a sensible way. Forget the messed up kitchen. You can clean it up with the flick of a finger. You have what a normal person does not. Powers bought with your father's money." Lucas, his caretaker since birth pointed out. He was 10 years older but looked as young as Edgar. Edgar frowned. Lucas came and went whenever he liked. It was annoying. Edgar sometimes liked the fact that Lucas was not like any other ass-licking servants he knew. However, he still found it annoying sometimes and whenever he did, he could say nothing. The Lucas he knew would never make an effort to change after all. Derp down, Edgar hoped he would not anyway."I have received enough insults from her. Does she know who I am?""No, she doesn't. If she did," Lucas paused and laughed. "She would die of shock. Edgar, her useless husband is far from useless, but the grandson and last descendant of what she has been trying all her life to get."Edgar snapped his thumb and middle finger together and the messed-up kitchen became sparkling clean."Told you. Just a flick of your fingers would do.""Edgar! Son of a bitch." It was Patricia."That mad wife of yours has started." Lucas pointed out with a small smile.Edgar scoffed. "Did you not hear? She's not my wife. That's a truth that's not legal but would soon be.""You're getting a divorce.""Patricia and that evil hag were talking about it."Lucas shrugged. "It won't be the first time they would be talking about a divorce.""I don't care any longer. Right now, I just want to teach that girl and her mother a lesson. They seem to have forgotten their place. I need to remind them.""Calm down. That's my advice. You wouldn't want to draw attention to yourself until you find whoever killed your family.""Edgar!" Patricia's voice had gotten closer."Looks like your missing rib is on her way here."Edgar glared at Lucas who just laughed."Adios." Immediately, Lucas was out of sight."Son of a bitch. Why the hell has my bed not been made?""It was." Edgar pointed out. The mad woman was just looking for a way to get him beaten.His words were followed by a slap across his face. "Are you calling me a liar? How many times have I told you that I want my bed well-dressed at all times? Whenever you make my bed I want to sleep, roll, and jump on it without it being ruined."Edgar raised an eyebrow. What she wanted wasn't hard for him. He was no ordinary person after all. She was, and, if he ever made a bed that way for her, she would freak out.Edgar clenched his fist. Yes, Patricia has done many things worse than this, but he has had enough. Patricia's cup was almost full.He feigned a smile. "I'm sorry. I would go to your room and make the bed the way you want it.""My room? What are you thinking? Pervert."Patricia placed her index finger on his forehead and poked it hard. "Do away with whatever evil thoughts are in those empty heads of yours?" She continued poking him hard. So hard that his forehead turned red."Do away with it," She continued. Then, she gave him a knock on his head. "I can help you." She grinned evilly. She knocked him again. This time it was harder than the first time. "I can knock out the evil."Another knock."It'll help cleanse those perverted thoughts."Edgar stepped backward before she could give him another knock on the head.At that moment, Patricia's phone rang."Don't think you're free yet," Patricia said with disdain written all over her face, then she walked away."Three knocks. Yish. That's a lot." It was Lucas talking."I hate when you come and go whenever you like," Edgar pointed out with a frown."So you wanted me to be here. If I were, she would have used a knife to give you those knocks instead of her knuckles. I wouldn't have gone scot-free too. The last thing I want is that mad woman touching me."But the mad woman is free to touch me." Edgar glowered at Lucas."She's your wife. Not mine," Lucas said."I'm your master. Do you even still remember? My well-being should be your priority""So you want me to die for you.""Well, that's basically what you're to do.""Young man, if I'm in front of you and 0ries to kill me and there's no way to save you unless I die, I'd kindly move away even if you'd get killed. I'd try my best to protect you, but that does not mean I would stake my precious life for you."Edgar rolled his eyes. Of course, most people will do the same, but he felt Lucas should not have said it out. If it was any other person, they would have sworn with their life that they would sacrifice their lives for Edgar. It would be a lie, but at least it showed they feared him. But, Lucas was different. Edgar liked the fact that he was not a hypocrite. On the other hand, he hated that he could do anything he wanted without minding what he thought."No other person would have dared to say such to me, except you.""No other person would tell you what they really think except me."Edgar looked away. It was true and that was the only reason Lucas was with him at the moment. He said how he felt and was trustworthy."So," Lucas continued. "Back to teaching that daughter of Jezebel a lesson. What do you have in mind?"Edgar frowned. "It seems like she has forgotten her humble background. I think it's time I return her to her place."Lucas smirked. "This will be fun."It will and he looked forward to it.Related Chapters

"Mother," Patricia cried out.It was for the sixth time since the day began.Edgar smirked. He was just starting. When he would be done, she would lose the voice to cry out.Angela ran to her daughter in the sitting room and Edgar watched them from the dining room."What again? Don't tell me there's another problem.""There's a huge problem. My business is no longer mine." Patricia broke down in tears. "More than half of my branches all over the country have been burnt down."Angela shrieked in anguish. "I'm doomed. My haters have won."Today was the worst day for Patricia. It started with a call out on social media by a customer. Then, it escalated to a high-profile lawsuit. Before afternoon, more than half of the company's shareholders had sold their shares. Afterward, more phone calls came. Each phone call was to tell bad news."What have I done wrong?" Patricia lamented. The new news was the last straw she could take. Any more bad news and she might die.Edgar watched as mother an

Edgar leaned back on his Plume Blanche diamond-encrusted sofa. He had to admit that the last thing he wanted was to go back to Patricia's house.He enjoyed life without having to deal with Patricia and her mother's nagging. Edgar smirked at the thought of Patricia and her mother. Since he left, they had been moving from one disaster. The man, Patricia had divorced him to get married to, left her. Of course, as a businessman, the last thing he wanted was a liability."If you continue relaxing all day, you would never get to at least avenge your family's death and you'd increase the chance of him finding you."Edgar frowned. He hated Lucas' voice and that was because it was always ringing in his ear whenever he did something he should not do."So you think me letting rude and good for nothing people mistreat me is the best way to stay away from the eyes of my family's murderer.""Exactly."Edgar rolled his eyes. He had listened to Lucas in the past when he asked him to disguise himself

The music, 'get busy' blaring from the speaker next to him and Lucas complaining about losing jobs he worked hard to get from him as a background did nothing to soothe him.He poured the last drop of beer from the bottle before him into his cup and gulped it. He looked up at the ladies flaunting their behind and throwing themselves at men they believed could spend as much as they wanted on them, and they irked him the more."I came here to cool off and your complaint is doing nothing to help," Edgar snorted and Lucas frowned."Nothing can cool you off, so stop wasting our time. Let's get out of here and figure out the best way to disguise you properly even if you're under his nose.""His nose?" Edgar scoffed. "His. Him. He. What the hell is his name? Do you know? Do I? Why the hell should I be scared of a man whose name I have no idea of?""The fact that you don't know anything about him should scare you the most. As humans, it is natural we get scared of what we don't know. It is sen

It was one pm.Edgar turned to glance at the lady he had saved last night.He frowned. How long was she going to sleep? She was snoring loudly and it made the scenario more annoying.The last thing he wanted was an unknown, snoring lady sleeping on his bed all day and it made him rethink if saving her was a good solution."I know you feel like beating her up till she wakes up, but don't think of it."Edgar frowned. He turned to his right hand side which was empty a few moments again to see Lucas standing. He could not emphasize how much he hated it whenever Lucas did that."Why are you always sneaking up on me? Dude, that's creepy. Don't do it again.""You're not the one to tell me what to do? I always keep on telling you this?""What do you want?" Edgar frowned. The dude was annoying. "Just go away.""You can't tell me to do that, either?"Edgar turned to him and frowned. "Didn't you say you would gladly leave if I told you to?"Lucas laughed. "Of course, that's a joke. You have no r

"Daddy!"Edgar smiled. He was very happy to meet Julian, Patricia's daughter, who he saw as a daughter too.He was not her biological father, but he saw himself as so and she saw him that way too. And, that was why he kept tabs on when she was returning home, so he could rush to the airport to see her before her mother did."Julian."Edgar's smile widened. He held his hands wide open for her and she ran into them."Dad, I really missed you."And, for the first time in a long time, a tear rolled down his cheeks. The last time he cried was when his family got murdered. Well, Julian was not murdered, but the thought of today being the last time he was most likely to see her hurt him."Daddy, where is mummy? Is she still treating you badly?" Julian's face fell. "I wonder why mother is mean to you. You're just so nice and she treats you badly."Edgar's chest squeezed in pain. Julian had no idea of the divorce."Julian," Edgar said softly. "You know daddy loves you."Julian was visibly scar

"Don't you think you are overdressing, especially for an occasion you say you're not interested in." It was Lucas talking.It was the day to do Edna 'a favor '. She had invited him to a party of which she had to come to with a plus one."It's a party filled with those snobbish rich people who love showing off. How am I overdressing?""Isn't it obvious? You're wearing a suit worth fifty thousand dollars. That's too much even for a party filled with snobbish rich people who like showing off. Aren't you doing the same?"Edgar rolled his eyes. He wished he could cast a silencing spell on Lucas. He was disturbing his peace."Plus, with news going around of you trying to kidnap Patricia's child, the last thing you want is to draw more attention to yourself."Edgar made a fist. He turned to Lucas abruptly. His face was red hot. "I watched those evil people take Julian away from me. Why? Because you don't want me to get the attention of a man who might even be dead. Don't you dare try to scho

"News of you being Edna's boyfriend has spread like wildfire.""Let me guess. It's a bad thing and I should find a way to stop it." Edgar's eyebrow pulled down."You're being on the news too much," Lucas complained."I'm not the only person who is always on the news, Lucas."Lucas sighed. "I just want you to be extra careful. If anything happens to you, I would end up not doing what your Grandma expects me to do. I don't really care that much about you, but your grandma once saved my life. I owe her.""That's your business not mine. I won't let you control my life so you can pay your debt," Edgar said hoarsely."I used to think you cared about your grandma too.""I do. Why do you think I still listen to you? Why do you think I let those brats that are nowhere near my level call me a church rat?""Then don't let those insults go to waste. Finish what you've started."Edgar scowled at him. "You made me start this. I didn't.""The point is that you've started it already, so complete it."

Edgar stood before the mansion standing tall before him. Everything about the mansion spelt money even for a descendant of the god of money. The intricate carvings adorning the facade of the building suggested that it was an ancient one- ancient and majestic one.Edgar turned to the oak door.What was next, he thought to himself. The owner of the building, father of Edna, would warn him to stay away. Edgar scoffed.He was a hundred times richer.He looked around the building which was most likely his best. He had plenty like this and they were nowhere near his best.The oak door was pushed open by the man at the door as Edgar got close, revealing a luxurious and large room."Edgar?"At the center of the room was a Lockheed lounge sofa on which a tall man sat. His aura was the most masculine he had ever encountered- proud.Edgar thought his expensive sofa didn't quite fit the decor of the room. He frowned. Humans liked to show off their money in any way they could."Edgar?"Meyer Jone

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have begun our descent into New York. Please turn off all portable electronic devices and stow them until we have arrived at the gate. In preparation for landing in New York, be certain your seat back is straight up and your seat belt is fastened.""Finally," Edna muttered under her breath. She was scared of heights and she hated being in an enclosed place.Edna looked at her wrist. She gave a small smile. It was Edgar who gave her. He said something about the watch alerting him if she gets into any form of danger."Hope you know that wristwatches are not allowed in."Edna frowned as her father spoke. "I thought we could not take phones in.""And wristwatches too," Meyer added."Oh, okay."Well, that wasn't a problem. Edgar had told her to hide the wristwatch if it was not allowed along with a small phone he gave to her. According to him, no one could detect it even with a detecting machine or whatever it was called.She trusted that he was right. Edgar was f

Edna gave Edgar a small smile when she saw him walk into her office. Somehow, she was grateful for the accident that almost took place. She liked the fact that Edgar now picked her from work after closing hours."Ma'am, your husband is here," Sid, who was standing before her, announced as soon as he saw Edgar too."She saw me so you don't really have to announce it," Edgar glared at Sid. "Stop trying to find a place here when you obviously can't fit in.""Don't you think you're sounding a little bit like Violet and her daughter?"Edgar scoffed in disbelief. "Are you seriously comparing me to those evil family members of yours?""I'm not. I just feel like you're making Sid feel how they both tried to make us feel. I feel we should be able to connect to Sid and not try to discriminate him because —""Because he is poor? You think I am behaving the way I am towards him because I feel he is poor?" Edgar scoffed.

The news of Edgar being the brother of the owner of The Clique restaurant was everywhere. Questions of Edgar's true background were asked by everyone.Edgar watched Lucas pace up and down his room. He hated the publicity they were getting, regretting the action he took at Edna's workplace."Have you seen the downgrading video that the daughter of the devil herself made for me?" Edgar spat angrily after watching a video Patricia uploaded online.In the video, Patricia told the whole world how He was the lazy brother. How he and Lucas were from the street but Lucas was just smart enough to con a rich old man and became rich himself. She said that Edgar had tried to do the same by marrying rich women like herself and Edna but won't succeed because he is stupid."That vile woman called me stupid." Edgar was pissed."Don't we have better things to worry about? The news is everywhere. My face is

The next day at work, news of Edna and Edgar getting a VVIP invitation to The Clique restaurant was what everyone could talk about.Edgar, afraid that there might be another accident, decided to take Edna to work and as they both walked in, the volume of the gossip only reduced.Everyone whispered what they thought to each other as they watched the court walk past them.‘It must be the doings of Meyer Jones.’One of the workers said and Edgar clenched his fists. It took a lot of willpower for Edgar to walk pass without throwing a fist at his face. ‘It is not, Meyer Jones hates that Edgar had taken his daughter out of his house and Meyer Jones himself has never gotten an invite.’‘Then, who did?’ Someone else asked."She probably slept with the owner to get two tickets for herself and her husband," a brunette said. She wore a red dress which showed half of her breast and barely passed her hips. She had a cake face. It was hard to know if she could breathe well with so much makeup on h

"Am I dead?" Edna asked as soon as her eyes flipped open. She looked around and after a while began to recognize the room she was in. She was at home and in her room with Edgar and Lucas peering at her."Is heaven a replica of what our environment looks down on earth? Or, are we in hell? And, why is Lucas with us? Was he in the car with us? Why—""We are not dead," Edgar had to chip in."I saw the truck. We should definitely be dead by now." She sat straight up on the bed and began to inspect Edgar's body. She did the same to herself. "And how on earth did we not sustain any injury." Then, she gasped. "Was I in a coma? What year is this? Were you in a coma?"Edgar shook his head. "I'm also as confused as you are as to how we survived but today is still the same day the accident almost occured.""Almost? It did not?" Edna was shocked. She was happy, but shocked."It is a miracle. If you ask me how? I honestly don't think I can give a reply."Edna heaved a sigh of relief and with a smil

The next day at work, Edna met her office cleaner than it used to be. Most times, she arrived at work earlier than the cleaner so her office was always like she had left it the day before.Edna heard a soft knock on her door, then someone opened the door slowly and peaked in.It was Sid."Good morning, ma'am," He greeted as soon as he stepped in.Edna said nothing in reply, then she looked up at his face. "Were you the one who tidied up my office?""Yes, I am," He replied with a smile. "I saw—""I'm grateful but please do not do it again. Strangers are not allowed to walk into my office the way they like. The fact that it is not always locked does not mean a random person can walk in the way they like."Sid's face fell. "I'm sorry ma'am."He turned to leave then paused and looked at Edna. "I know you don't need it in any way, but I would be happy if you let me work for you. I can do anything for you.

"Are you ready to do this?"Edna looked around the room.Her PC looked fine, the camera was in place, the lightning was good, her microphone, internet, everything she needed was in place.She turned to Edgar who was at the door watching her and nodded. "Yes, I am ready."She took a deep breath and clicked on the ‘start recording’ button."Hello," Edna began, waving. "So, there's a funny video of me trending that I had gone mad. Well, this is me, perfectly fine contrary to the rumor flying around. That video was supposed to be for a commercial. A commercial portraying the effect of hard drugs and not a video of me going mad. However, someone thought it was funny to upload my part of the video and caption with words that suggested I had gone mad. That is untrue and I would make sure the culprit is caught and punished. And, the voice note that supposedly ‘leaked’ was a fake one. I am not mad and no one is trying to kill me."Immediately, Edna clicked on the stop button and took off her h

It has been days since the news of Edna running mad had gotten out.Edgar looked at Edna who was sleeping peacefully on the bed beside him. It has been days since she woke up too."What did you give her? Will she wake up anytime soon?""She will. Just have patience," Lucas reassured and Edgar frowned."You told me the same thing a few days ago, but Edna has still not woken up."Lucas shrugged. "Well, a few days ago does not sound long to me."Edgar glared at him.Lucas frowned. "I am not obligated to wake her, okay? Stop acting like it is my job too.""It is your job to do whatever I want you to do.""Perhaps, you should get another butler if that is what you want. I thought by now you would have realized that I cannot do whatever you want me to.""Edgar," Edna whispered softly and Edgar beamed."She said something. She has woken up."Edna's eyes slowly opened.

The past few days had been a peaceful one for Edgar. Life was simple and peaceful. Though it seemed boring but he liked it- and a little bit more than he thought he would ever do.He woke up, ate, laughed, and talked with Edna, ate, ate, and then slept back."I sincerely needed the rest and peace of mind," He muttered to himself as he looked through the window.He wondered why he was truly at the window. Was it to watch and appreciate nature or was he awaiting Edna's return from the market.Edgar frowned.Edna was back but she was with someone else. "No random person was allowed to enter this place and now she is bringing a man," Edgar crossed his arms."You can come in,"He had her say as she pushed the door open."Who can?" Edgar asked, frowning."Oh, I told you I needed an electrician, rememb
