Lydia was shocked and jealous at what had just happened. She widened her eyes and exclaimed, "So, you've been cheating on me since we were dating?"Marcus scoffed and walked slowly towards her. "Funny, I am not like you. It just doesn't concern you anymore, what I do with another person."Lydia was about to speak when Hales held her hand. "Just don't talk to these lowlife people anymore. I'm going to teach them a lesson. I'll call my father now," Hales threatened, then pulled out his phone and dialed his father's number.Lydia smirked and murmured, "You both are dead today."After speaking to his father, he hung up the call and pointed at them. "I am giving you both time to apologize, and nobody will be sacked."Kathie chuckled. "The one who should apologize is you, not me.""Oh, really? I see you still have some guts, and I will certainly remove them from you. Just you wait," Hales said as his phone rang. He smirked at them and answered his father's call."Hello, dad," he confidently
Marcus cleaned the company today without facing any discrimination, but he noticed that Kathie was not in the room. He stylishly looked for her around, and bumped into one of the staff."Um, please... where's the CEO in charge?" he demanded."She isn't here, she did not come today," the staff answered him, and left. Marcus wondered what happened; she did not even call him, so he called her instead, but it rang without anyone picking up.After the company closed in the evening, he left and stepped out. He called Paulina and Ivan to ask about Kathie's home as he didn't know it."Give us five minutes, sir," Paulina said. He waited without hanging up, and within three minutes, they had finished."Done, sir. I will send you the address now, sir. Do you need us to come?" Paulina asked."Nope, I told you I am okay by myself," he sternly said and hung up. His phone buzzed as the message entered; he was about to move on when three sturdy and gigantic men stopped in front of him.They were so t
Marcus arrived at Kathie's home, which was more massive than he would have thought, tall and beautiful with many trees. Almost every part of the building was built with glass.He pressed the intercom at the gate and waited for a response, but no one answered. He pressed it again, yet still, no one answered. He wondered what was wrong. He was about to turn back and leave when he remembered the bruise he saw on her hand the other day.Turning back to the gate, he pressed the intercom again, but still, no one responded. He banged on the gate instead, repeatedly calling out, "Kathie! Kathie! Kathie!" Just then, the door creaked open, and there stood a man of the same height as him."Hello," he said, putting on a smile, but the man frowned instead and demanded, "What the hell are you doing here? How could you be banging on the gate like that?""Oh, I have pressed the intercom, but no one answered me. Is Kathie home?" Marcus inquired, scanning the compound but couldn't see any trace of her.
Kathie weakly nodded, her voice barely audible, "No, you have to keep doing that. There is a lot of corruption in the company, deeper than you thought. You have to fish it out, and you will be able to achieve that only if you keep working as the janitor."Marcus was about to talk when the door was barged open, and Wilson entered, His face hardened as rock, he walked faster at Kathie.“Babe, are you okay? The doctor said you can now go home. Let's go,” he said, twisting her hand. forcefully twisting her hand.Marcus scoffed at the audacity and tapped his shoulder, “What do you think you are doing?”“It is none of your business, man. I forgive you all for barging into my house, but I won’t forgive you if you hold me and my wife as a hostage,” he claimed.Ivan was angry and stepped forward; Marcus motioned to him to step back.Marcus stated, “Hostage? You are so funny, very funny. Kathie, am I really holding you as a hostage?”Kathie looked at his face, her lips shook and trembled, not k
"I am sorry for the inconvenience... I am Sophia," the lady bowed to him again. Marcus was surprised by the level of respect shown by the lady."It's okay," he said, and then just left. The lady watched him as he went. The guard looked at Sophia's face, noticing her interest in the man. "Do you like him?" he asked."Yes, I like him. He is handsome and has audacity," she stated."I can see he is living a fake life. How can a janitor afford that room?" the guard questioned."Probably the room was for his boss; he just paid on his behalf. We should go, or else we will be late," she said.***The next morning, Lydia arrived at the Dynamite Company. She wanted to discuss more about their partnership. Meanwhile, inside the secretary's office were Marcus and Kathie."Why are you here? You should still be in the hospital," he told her."No, I have to be here. I am the one in charge, and I should not lack," she told him. Marcus was about to speak when someone knocked on the door.Marcus was sti
"What the hell", Hales yelled, his money his disappearing, it was decreasing so very fast."what's happening here", he uttered to himself, and the balance kept decreasing untill it hit Zero.His heart pulped very fast that it could leaped out of his chest, he broke into sweat immediately. all his clothes became wet."Hales, what's wrong. what happening", Lydia asked him, and moved more closer to him."My...my money, my money here, it disappeared!", he stammered, his voice barely audible."you know that is impossible, it might be a technical error from your bank, or the Network", Lydia assured."yeah, yeah, that must be it, let me check my second balance", he said and checked his second account. the 1 billion in the account was still intact.he exhaled loudly, "yeah, maybe servi....", he couldn't talk finish before the account start depleting. it was like a magic."Oh, no ... something is wrong here!", he yelled, the money was given to him as an investment from his dad. his dad made h
The sun shone directly on Marcus' face, he groaned as he opened his eyes. He was on his massive and top notch room. he checked his clock and it was already 12 in the afternoon."wow, that's long", he said and stood up, by now, Hales would have been regretting. he had made sure Kathie press life out of him, and made him drink of his own medicine. how he always looked down on someone, how it always feels.He walked inside the bathroom and have his bath, wore a black shiny suit, and oil his air. he was looking so cool today, as he wanted to live the life he should, A fucking billionaire.He whistled as he stepped out of his room, and dashed straight to the living room, he was very startled to see his dad in the room, Reading a newspaper with a tea in front of him. The bodyguard surrounding him immediately bowed for him."Dad", he called. Mr. thonks looked up and smiled."my son, come have a seat", he said and Marcus immediately sat beside him, he had a glance in the newspaper, and the he
Marcus looked at his charming self in the mirror, smiled at himself, and was about to step out of the salon when a lady pushed him out of the way. He lost his balance and fell on the ground. He frowned and was about to talk.The lady that pushed him seemed to be in a hurry as she swiftly turned and apologized, "I am sorry sir," she said and turned back. She hurriedly left."Uhn...," Marcus uttered. He recognized the woman; she was the one he met in the hotel, the hotel owner. He scratched his head to remember her name."Yeah, Sophia!" he exclaimed.He curiously watched her as she hurriedly went to her car. As she was about to open the door, someone held her hand. She looked scared and very terrified."Uhm, what's going on," he asked himself, and walked slowly to them. Before he could approach them, Sophia gently opened the door, and the man glued behind her as they both entered the car. Marcus could easily notice that the lady was under threat."Oh no.... something is not right," he mu
