“You can always do that without proving it to me.” Robin said with a small smile on his face. He didn’t want to continue that depressing conversation with Mac, so he stood up to his feet.“What happens if you become the valedictorian? As always the best among the rest.” Mac said with a bit of mockery in his tone. He wasn’t even sure if that mocking tone was directed at him or Robin.“You don’t think you can be the one?” Robin asked back with raised brows. He failed to understand why Mac couldn’t remember how he had suffered all through his life. All because he got a breakthrough in the past few months, he was already termed the ‘always the best’.“I don’t think so.” Mac replied as he downed a bottle of whiskey in one gulp. His throat burned but he refused to stop. The pain in his throat overshadowed the one in his heart. He felt so low on himself and that was a pain he didn’t want to experience.“Prepare for our deal then. One of us has to win or fail.” Robin said with a calm look and
"Fuck! No!" Robin yelled as Angie was dragged up and toward a black car. He rushed after her immediately but in the next second, a shot was fired at his leg. He fell and tumbled on the ground with his bullet wound dripping with blood, unstoppably. "That's right! You are not gonna escape a bullet." The man said as he started to retreat toward his car. They had gotten what they wanted and that was all. "Who the fuck are you? Why do you want her? She has done nothing wrong and if you should take anyone, it should be me." Robin said as he held onto his bleeding leg. His eyes had turned bloodshot as he tried to suppress the pain. "I'm Jared's better half." The man replied with a sinister smile. For a fleeting moment, a look of love flashed across his eyes and Robin cringed inwardly. "You left him so injured that he couldn't do well for days. Of course, I'm not going to let you go scot-free." He added. "This is just the fucking beginning." "Fuck!" Robin cussed as he realized he had g
"What are you doing here?" Robin asked with raised brows. He thought he had not heard right and he thought maybe Adrian had gone nuts. "I mean it literally! Where is Angie? My father wants her back." Adrian spoke up again with a vile look on his face. "Well, it doesn't look like you want her." Robin replied with a calm look. He didn't want to reveal to Adrian that Angie was missing. He was starting to suspect that something fishy was actually going on."Rico! Take him out." Robin said, pointing at the door. Immediately, Rico walked up to Adrian but he was quick to evade Rico's hold. "Why? Why don't you want to bring her out? Is she missing?" Adrian asked with a sinister smile on his face. Robin was taken aback for a moment but then he had figured out what was going on. Rico tried to take Adrian out again but Robin waved him off. He wanted to know what Adrian was driving at. "Did you kidnap her?" Robin asked. "How do you know she was kidnapped?" He added. "It's because you bit m
"I never knew that Robin could be this wicked!" A commenter wrote."Yes! I wondered how he suddenly became the CEO of Hamilton Corps! It's obvious he is involved in dirty works!" Another commenter wrote. Several comments were bashing Robin and Rico was diligently reading them out while Robin typed away on his laptop. He was trying to find Angie's location from the video sent to him. At the same time, he was greatly worried as he didn't want Angie to get harmed in any way. It had been 24 hours since she got kidnapped and 4 hours since they sent that picture to him. Time was ticking and for the first time, he wished he had control of time. "Boss, there is bad news." Rico said as he looked up at Robin. He had to stop what he was doing on his laptop to look at Rico, in question. "The shareholders have announced that you are no longer the CEO. They are considering removing you from being a shareholder, as well." Rico reported. He knew just how much Robin had fought to become the CEO of
"Who is he?" Robin asked, turning in the direction of the car. The car drove to park before them and even though he tried to see who was in the car, he couldn't. The car windows were dark and he looked back at Leon with a curious look. "Do you think this is right? We don't have time on our side and Angie is waiting." Mac whispered with a frown on his face."Do you trust him?" He asked, pointing at Leon. "Yes, I do. He wouldn't harm me." Robin replied almost immediately. Leon was one of the people he trusted the most. He could as well be the only person he trusted. A few seconds later, the door to the car opened up to reveal a man dressed entirely in black. He had black shades on and he had brown lips as well. An evidence of how much he smoked. "Hi, Robin Claire, I have heard so much about you." The man greeted with a smirk. "Who are you?" Robin asked back, straightforwardly. He didn't cower at the sight of the man and even though the man looked so intimidating and deadly, he didn
Rico rushed down to the parking lot to see Angie standing beside Robin while two cars drove out of the parking lot. "Boss..." Rico called out with a confused look as he looked from Robin to Angie. "What happened? I got a call from the men I arranged that they were stopped on the way." He inquired with a worried look. "Nothing much! Angie is here and that's all that matters." Robin replied curtly. Leon, Mac and Angie all wondered why he would act so cold toward Rico like that. But they couldn't dwell on that. The public was currently roasting Robin online and he needed to clear his name, else his company would be down in the dumps soon. Ten minutes later, Angie had set up a camera in her room in the Dark Mansion. Robin forced his discharge and as he was about to instruct her on what to do, she shut him out. She shut everyone out as well, locking herself up. This time, she decided that she wasn't only going to vindicate Robin from Alexander but also herself. On the other side of th
Bruce's words kept ringing in Robin's head as he approached the crime police's building. The underworld was one of the most dangerous places in the world. He had never dreamed of stepping foot in there or going to places associated with the underworld. Now, he wondered if killing Jared would be worth joining. "Boss, Bruce has sent a follow-up message. He said he wants to meet with you, later on." Rico said as he drove into the parking lot of the building. Hearing those words made Robin sigh tiredly. It was just yesterday when Bruce had asked him. He was obviously putting pressure on Robin, not wanting him to have another choice. Also, Bruce had low-key threatened Robin that he was going to take Angie back if he didn't join the underworld. Now, it was either he protects Angie really well, not join the underworld, and then find a way to kill Jared on his own or he would just join the underworld without thinking about issues. But then, Robin wondered if Bruce had another secret moti
“Fuck!” Robin cussed as soon as he saw the old man. Flashes of what happened to his mother appeared in his head and he blinked rapidly, trying to get them off. Quickly, he walked forward, attempting to leave the office. As he walked past Alexander, he was tempted to hit the old man but he had to hold back.“Robin, I bet there are a lot of questions in your head.” Alexander called out but Robin refused to slow down his pace. He hadn’t really talked face to face and alone with the old man after what happened that night and he didn’t want to do so.Though he had questions, he was going to wait until Alexander’s death day to ask those questions.A few minutes later, Robin got into the parking lot with a calm look on his face. The reporters who were still hanging around the parking lot, saw him and were eager to run after him. But as they ran, they caught sight of the old man, also walking into the parking lot.“What is happening?” A reporter as in confusion as they were all confused.“Rob
