Marcus was saddened when he heard the announcements of the Berry estate project, which almost made Pearl's father lose his business and almost made Pearl get married to a bully like Elvis. He's going to help them.“Don't worry, sir, we will help you. I'm friends with Douglas, and I'm sure he can get you space inside JSK shopping mall.”Pearl's father's eyes widen immediately when he hears JSK shopping mall, is not an ordinary shopping mall; it's the biggest in Summerville. He heard that the least money each store makes a day is millions. This will be a game-changer for him. “If that can be possible, it will make my company even better with our branches all over the city; it's definitely going to make us ten times better.”Marcus nodded. He brought out his phone and called Douglas; his phone was answered.“Hello, young master.”Marcus went straight to the point.“Is there any available space for a store inside JSK?”Douglas nods.“Yes, young Master, we don't give it out; it's only f
Emily remained in her position with panic written all over her face. She stayed because Sharon and Pearl are still here; it would be wrong and embarrassing for them to see her running away.Elvis couldn't take the nonsense behavior of some of his coward friends. They run away as if he's not here; a little fly like the manager can't lay a finger on him, and who does this big fool think he is anyway?“That's Enough!!”His voice stopped the ones that were panicking. Elvis glanced at everybody's face before he moved forward to Richard; he will settle this himself since his family isn't here yet. He saw the panicked look on Pearl's friend's face. They seem to be worried also. He needs to show them how capable he is so Pearl can be jealous; with this, she will know how reliable he can be and how useless his boyfriend is.Elvis walked closer to Richard.“It seems you don't recognize me; I will pardon your ignorance just this once, I'm from the Zen family, and I demand an explanation for
Elvis tried to move again, but his back hurt so much that he couldn't even stand up straight with pain written all over his face. He can't wait for his father to see what a mad dog has done to him. He knows what his father can do, soon they will stop existing, useless bastards who dare lay their hands on him. He's going to make sure his father deals with all of them; no one should be speared.Richard saw Elvis struggling on the ground, and he ordered his men.“Come drag this thing out of here immediately.”His men moved into action immediately; they grabbed Elvis and raised him up like a baby. He screamed out loud.“Auw, Auw, Auw....”Take it easy, you punk.The men did listen to him this time, and one of them pressed his back, which made Elvis almost faint as he screamed out loud again.“Aaaauuuuuwwww”“Damn you, you bastard, you did that deliberately, bastard… I hate every one of you.”Everyone in the hall didn't say anything, but watching how Elvis was carried out for someone who
They all smiled upon hearing what Pearl's father just said.“Who wouldn't be happy when his daughter just introduced his rich boyfriend to them, and everyone was focused on him and his friend when they entered the hall?Without being told they know they're not ordinary men?”said one of the ladies, while the other added.“The gifts and the manner in which he presented himself says a lot; they dealt with Elvis as if his family were nobody, not to measure their jobs; they are definitely from a top second-class family or even first-class family, which is why I don't know any of them.”Both of them started praying. Their daughter opened their eyes to see what a fellow young lady just did. She is getting married to a man of her dreams, capable husband material, not a poor bastard who pretends to love their daughter just to marry into the family and later run away with their money.Benjamin walked closer to Marcus. He knows it's because of him he made it this far, but he's worried he doesn
Elvis' father couldn't believe he was in this condition. He looks like someone who had an accident. The doctor said he was lucky not to have broken his spinal cord.By the look of things, he does not have any bruises on his body. Someone did this to him, and he wants to know.“Elvis, who did this to you?”Elvis managed to use his hands to wipe his face.“Pearl's parents, they have been lying to us, they never told us she has a boyfriend. You know, today was supposed to be my engagement party, but I was surprised when she introduced her boyfriend to her parents, and they accepted him with open hands and evil threats to keep me out. When I tried to confront them, the useless boyfriend of his friends pounds on me with the help of the manager of MZK, they threatened me and said I should inform every member of my family not to step their feet inside MZK again. That is the last thing I can remember.”Elvis couldn't stop his tears.“Father, you need to see how I was humiliated and treated as
Samuel at that moment couldn't say anything but nod at what his father just said: he's definitely going to succeed; he's sure of it, this kind of plan can't fail, soon Hazel will be his; however, he was curious, wanting to know if his father also has a plan for that useless husband of hers.With a low voice, he utters.“Father, what about that useless husband hers? What are we going to do with him now?”Gregory responded.“Don't worry about it; according to the information I gathered, he's the one who goes pick her daughter off from school, so my guys are already waiting for her as we speak. When they close from school, they will go get her even before the bastard arrives, and then they will call him and send the bastard to a different location. He needs to die for Hazel to look our way.That is what they are going to do?”Samuel's body vibrated a little when he heard they were going to kill Marcus, but he shook it off immediately. If the bastard has to die for him to succeed, he's fi
Marcus's lips started shaking. The principal must be lying. How can Ivy be kidnapped?His voice was shaking as he spoke.“Tell me you're kidding; it's not true, right?”The principal bowed her head, and she knows how Marcus feels at that moment.“Yes, it's true your daughter has been kidnapped.”Marcus's legs failed him immediately, and the principal words shattered his heart.He went on his knees and words refused to come out.Who could have done this to Ivy when she doesn't go looking for trouble? If anyone has issues with him, they should come for him, but not his little daughter, not her.Cold tears dropped down Marcus's cheeks.His head was full of thoughts. He didn't know what to do at that moment. How was he going to explain it to Hazel? If he had come early, none of this would have happened.Ivy will be so scared, and it's because of him, he failed her again.At that moment, his phone rings, and he immediately brings it out to see who is calling, but the number has no name.Re
The bright sunlight of the peaceful day, confusion, and curiosity swirled within the minds of those who stood witness to the scene unfolding before them.They had never seen police vehicles this many before, and to their surprise, the special team vehicle so many of them were also seen. Summerville has been so peaceful that they hardly see more than two police cars at a time.The chorus of unanswered questions played like a constant drumbeat as eyes followed the police cars and the flying helicopter moving with purpose through the streets.The outsiders, caught off guard by the sudden intrusion into their mundane lives, furrowed their brows and exchanged baffled glances. Some speculated about a movie being filmed.Others, more intuitive, sensed an underlying urgency in the air, detecting a real-life drama unfolding right before their eyes.One of them said, “Is this a terrorist attack or a hostage situation? From what I'm seeing, it's definitely one of them. After so many years in S
