THE LORD'S MANSION
Davin had recovered fully, he was in his study with James, discussing all that had happened when he was absent.
"While you were away Lord Darius, we hadn't been having any war threats, and so we focused more on the family's business." James said.
"And how's the progress?" Davin asked. He was now dressed in an expensive suit, and his hair neatly combed. He was now appearing like the billionaire he always was.
"The business is doing well, Lord Darius, we have expanded our reach all over the world, holding 20% of the entire world's revenue." James explained giving the computer to Davin to see for himself.
Davin was amazed, the profit coming into the Lord's business empire was almost immeasurable, having 20% of the entire world's revenue, they were no doubt the richest family currently, not only do they have hundreds of companies they also have shares in others which weren't theirs.
"There have been a lot of improvements." Davin was impressed, there weren't so many companies owned by the Lords when he was away, but now they've been so many.
"Yes Lord Darius, your father really did a great job, he was indeed a wise businessman."
"I know, and that's why I'm going to avenge him and bring back my mum and brother." Davin clenched his fist.
"And I'll be by your side my Lord." James said with respect.
"I'll be going back to Sunset City tomorrow." Davin replied.
"What? But for what? I remember when we found you, you were almost dead, I believe you should go with some men just in case your enemies return to attack you again." James suggested.
"You don't need to worry about that James, they are just minor humans, I'll be able to crush them all with my bare hands." Davin smiled with one side of his lips.
"Then why didn't you the first time? Why did you let them make you bleed?" James was curious.
"We don't always have to show who we truly are. I'll get back at them in a way they will never expect."
"Okay my Lord."
"Hum, James. Do you know anything about the Mansion enterprise?" Davin asked.
"The Madison enterprise in Sunset City?" James asked to be sure.
"Yes." Davin affirmed.
"Not exactly, but I can check it right away."
"Yes please do."
Davin remembered when Victoria told him that the mansion company belonged to Derek, and if he would be planning to bring him down financially, that would be his first target. If he breaks Derek financially he'll be too weak to react.
James went through the system and read everything he needed to know about the Madison enterprise, their productivities and their relationship with varying organizations.
He showed his findings to Davin, and Davin's attention went straight to the Beta's Organization, the number one company in Sunset City. He also learnt that the Beta and Madison company had a strong relationship together, with Beta company being their number one business deal partners.
"James, can you contact the CEO of Beta industry?" Davin asked.
"Yes sir." James replied.
"Good, do so and also prepare for my flight . I'm heading back to the city." Davin announced.
"What, Lord Darius but...why so sudden?"
"I'm going to buy the Beta industry." Davin replied.
"You want to buy another company?" James Asked and Davin stared at him.
"Oh of course, pardon me Lord Darius, I'll do that right away." James said then went out to make the arrangements.
'Derek, you dare try to kill me, I'll show you how it feels to be punished by a god, I'll destroy you and give you a taste of your own medicine. The Windsors family will crumble under me feet and ask for forgiveness, but by then it'll be two late'
After some minutes James arrived back.
"I've booked for your flight Lord Darius, I made it as early as possible, and it'll be in two days' time." James reported.
"Alright, and one more thing James."
"What is Lord Darius?"
"No more dulling while I'll be away, I want you and the warriors to prepare yourself, because when I return it'll be war. We have to save my mother and brother at any cost."
"I understand my Lord, I'll do exactly as you say."
FEW DAYS LATER, BETA'S INDUSTRY
Mr Luther the CEO of Beta industry walked towards his office with his secretary.
"Sir, someone was here to see you." She said,
"Who is it?" Mr. Luther asked.
"It's Mr. Darius sir, he previously booked an appointment with you a few days ago."
"Oh, yeah I remember. Where is he now?"
"I told him to wait for you at my office, but I can tell him to come meet you right away."
"Alright do that."
Luther walked to his office, and sat on his chair, his hands on his table. He brought out some files and was going through them, signing the necessary paperwork and doing other necessary things. Just then someone knocked at the door.
"Who's it? Come in."
His secretary walked in with Davin, he was in a red suit, his hands dipped in his pocket. He then walked in and extended a handshake.
"Nice to meet you Mr. Luther. I'm Darius."
"Nice to meet you Darius, have a seat." He offered Davin a seat, and gestured for his secretary to excuse them.
"So what brought you to my office, I heard you booked an appointment days ago." Luther asked.
"Yes I did, I wanted to discuss something very important with you." Davin said.
"Something important? Alright I'm all ears."
"Mr. Luther, I know your company is one of the top in the City, and I am planning to strike a very big deal with you."
"A big deal? What kind of deal Mr. Darius?"
"I want to buy your company." Davin announced.
Mr. Luther laughed over his statement, the Beta industry is among the top three richest and largest companies in the city, worth over billions of dollars and some nameless individual wants to buy it?
Darius wasn't known in the city, so there was no way he could afford to buy the Beta industry, if he was that rich he would be well recognized.
"Is this some kind of joke mister?" Mr. Luther felt insulted.
"No it isn't, and I am very serious. I would like to hear your opinion on my request." Davin leaned back on the chair.
"The Beta industry is worth 2 trillion dollars and I make approximately 100 billion annually, how can you be able to purchase it? " Mr. Luther sounded a bit upset.
How can a common man be asked to buy his company? Who does he think he is? And does he even have the money to buy it?.
"You don't need to get upset Mr Luther? How about ten trillion dollars? Will you refuse to sell it even if I offer you such an amount?""What the hell? Stop joking around man, do you know who I am? You can't be joking around with me.""I'm not joking around Mr. Luther, I'll ask again, will you sell it at that amount? Or how about I make it twelve trillion? Is that good enough?"Luther was dumbfounded, Davin was calling the amount like it was just some little change. No single person is worth twelve trillion. "I'm waiting for your response Mr. Luther I came with my card." Davin said, bringing out his black card."I hope this isn't some kind of prank?" Mr. Luther asked to be sure."I'm dead serious."Mr. Luther stroked his jaw, selling his company at that amount isn't such a bad idea, in fact it was a double profit, and he could even build a bigger one with that amount, why would this man even want to buy it when he could build his own. So many thoughts ran through his mind."But why'd
Davin sat in the Beta office as he sipped on wine, watching the day get darker, a smirk formed on his face as he knew the Madison Enterprise would run out of time very soon. The thought brought him peace and satisfaction. He was going to make them pay for every single thing they did to him.On the other hand, Derek sat in his office, the weight of loss and debt pressed him down. His mind raced, searching for a way out of the mess he found himself in. The thoughts of Mr. Luther, the CEO of the Beta company, would do this to him, swirling like a storm in his mind, confusion evident on his face as he couldn't wrap his hand on what could actually be happening.Derek sat there for hours as time passed, his mind far away from reality until a knock came from the door,“Come in,” Derek answered.A lady came in, a grin vibrant on her face as she walked into the office majestically as she held an envelope,“Good afternoon sir, I'm here to ask for your permission to go on a one week break. ” Sh
Maya was worried as she tried Derek's line again and it went straight to voicemail.Different thoughts started going through her head.‘Is he still mad at mom for what she did the other day at dinner or maybe he's at a business meeting and he has just been busy lately' she thought as she tried to console herself.She tried his line again but it still went straight to voicemail, she finally gave up and decided to go look for her mum.As she got out of her room she heard noises coming from Isabella's room, it sounded as if Isabella was fighting with someone. She walked closer to check what was happening, before she could open the door she heard a loud sound.It sounded as if someone got hit, she quickly opened the door and saw Isabella on the floor.She looked away from Isabella to the man Isabella was arguing with, as she processed everything, realization hit her.“You slapped my sister?” Maya walked furiously to the stranger standing above Isabella, as she threw slaps to his face.Th
Derek's face reddened with rage, his voice rising in disbelief. "All of them! The entire company is refusing to work with me!" Peter's eyes widened in shock, "Sir, I think there must be some mistake," he ventured, trying to placate him. But Derek just stared, his anger boiling over. "I'm dead, I'm dead," he muttered to himself, his frustration and desperation palpable. Peter stood frozen, unsure how to respond, fearing anything he said would only fuel Derek's ire. Despite the cool weather, Derek began to sweat.Derek's face contorted in a mixture of anger and desperation as he dialed the J.K company, his hopes hanging by a thread. The call connected, and he launched into a passionate plea, "You can reconsider our proposal, it will greatly benefit your company!" But the response was curt and unyielding, "Sorry, we don't need this offer, thank you." Derek's voice took on a hint of desperation, "Okay, take 70%, let me take 30%." The silence on the other end was deafening, followed
Derek dialed the number again, but the call went unanswered. His mind raced with questions. Who was this mysterious person, and what did they want from him? He couldn't think of anyone he'd wronged, anyone who'd hold a grudge against him. "What's going on, Sir?" Peter asked, confusion etched on his face. Derek's gaze narrowed, his eyes locking onto Peter. "I need all the information you have on the Beta Group. Something's off." Peter hesitated, "Sir, what's the problem?" Derek's expression darkened, his voice stern. "Just do as I say, Peter. Now." Peter flinched, muttering a quick apology before scurrying to gather the information.Derek let out a frustrated hiss, loosening his tie as he sat down. He was certain it wasn't Mr. Luther's voice he heard. With a groan, he tried to focus on his work, but his attention was diverted by a notification on his phone. He unlocked it to see a chilling message: "Dearest Derek, we have taken 50% of yours. Sincerely, Beta Group." His eyes wide
The receptionists watched him go, their mouths agape, their earlier smirks and snickers replaced with shock and embarrassment. The sound of Davin's whistling faded into the distance, leaving behind a silence that was both awkward and telling."We need to apologize," one of the receptionists whispered urgently, "what if he's a friend of the boss? We could lose our jobs!" Her colleague nodded in agreement, and they quickly chose someone to accompany her to Davin's room. They stood at the door, knocking nervously, and Davin answered, his chest glistening with water droplets. One of the receptionists couldn't help but lick her lips, her eyes fixed on his chiseled physique. "He's so hot," she whispered, her voice barely audible. Her colleague nudged her, reminding her of their mission. "We're here to apologize, compose yourself," she whispered, her voice firm. Davin's deep chuckle sent a shiver down their spines. "Why are you here?" he asked, his eyes sparkling with amusement."We... w
Maya sauntered into the room, blissfully unaware of the tension, a bright smile on her face. "Dear, things are getting expensive," she said, dropping her shopping bag on the desk. "You won't believe how much this bag cost." She rummaged through the bag, pulling out another shoe, completely absorbed in her own world. Derek's expression darkened, his eyes fixed on the debit alert on his phone. "Maya, are you responsible for this?" he asked, his voice low and accusatory, holding up the phone for her to see. The smile on her face widened, and she looked up at him. "Yes, darling, I was thinking of telling you when I got back, knowing you wouldn't have a problem with it," Maya said, her tone casual. "Or do you have a problem with it?" She looked at him innocently, unaware of the storm brewing. Derek’s eyes widened in disbelief, his face inches from the phone. "Wait, you spent this much on this?" He gestured towards the shopping bags, his voice rising in outrage. "Come on, baby, stop a
"What are the police doing here?" Derek asked, confusion etched on his face.Before he could ask further questions, the door burst open and the police strode in. "Derek, you're under arrest," one of the officers announced, their handcuffs at the ready.Derek's eyes widened in shock. "What?! You can't be serious!" he exclaimed, but his protests were met with firm resistance.The officers handcuffed him swiftly and dragged him away, leaving him feeling humiliated and ashamed in front of his employees. Paul, called out, "I'll contact your lawyer, sir!" but Derek could only nod, his dignity stripped away.As the police car drove away, Derek demanded, "What is my offense?" But the officers remained silent."Answer me!" he barked, his anger rising."It's advisable to stay quiet, sir," one of the officers finally replied, their tone firm but calm.Derek scoffed, "Do you know who I am? I will get my lawyer and deal with all of you!" But his threats were met with silence.At the station, he w
