2024-04-26 18:08:31THE 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

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.

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

Helen and Davin both had unsaid words that lingered but they were most especially weighed down by Davin’s mother current situation. They sat at the waiting room quietly while Maya had excused herself to the cafeteria. The sedative were still kicking in Margrets’s blood stream as she slowly recovered from it, the sudden news of her sickness and then the transfer from one to hospital to another even made them question the severity of her sickness, was she deteriorating in health yet the doctors kept it a secret? Many thoughts ran through Davin’s mind, what did the nurse mean by she was only stable for a while? “Davin-I guess we should go eat something” “I am not hungry” Davin replied absentmindedly and then returning to his thought “You won’t seat there and tell me that-I won’t watch you keep thinking about thing you can’t change” Helen objected in a calm and soft way “I could changed all of this, by not allowing it to happen in the first place” Davin replied looking H

“Davin! Helen!” she called out, her voice loud enough to attract the attention of other visitors. “I heard about Mom. Is she okay?”“Maya,” Davin said, keeping his voice steady. “What are you doing here?”“I came to support my family,” she said, tilting her head slightly. “Isn’t that what family does?”Helen shot Davin a look, and he felt the tension rise between them. “Support?” he echoed, doubt lacing his tone. “Or to make sure everyone knows you’re here?”Maya laughed, a sound that felt more like a challenge. “Oh, come on. I know you’re not happy about my wedding plans, but can we not turn this into a competition? This is about Mom.”“Right. Let’s just focus on her,” Davin said, frustration boiling beneath the surface. “But don’t pretend that you aren’t looking for attention.”“Seriously, Davin?” Maya shot back, her voice sharp. “You think I’m here for a show? I’m worried about her too, you know.”“You have a funny way of showing it,” he replied, crossing his arms.“Enough,” Helen

Davin sat at the dinning table, a half-finished cup of coffee in front of him, flipping through a stack of paperwork from work. The morning sun streamed through the window, casting a warm glow, but a sense of unease gnawed at him. Just then, Helen burst into the room, her face a mix of urgency and concern.“Davin! We need to talk,” she said, her voice tight with anxiety.He looked up, instantly alert. “What’s wrong?”“It’s your mother. I just got a call from the hospital. She’s seriously ill,” Helen said, her words tumbling out in a rush. “They’re flying her out of Arctic City for specialized medication.”Davin’s heart sank. “What do you mean, ‘seriously ill’? What’s going on?”“They didn’t give me all the details, just that she needs immediate treatment,” Helen replied, her eyes brimming with concern. “They’re arranging a private jet to get her to the mainland for the best care.”“Why didn’t they call me?” he asked, rising from the table, the papers scattering as he stood.“I think t

As they finished their ice cream, Mia let out a satisfied sigh, her face smeared with chocolate and mint. Davin couldn’t help but chuckle at her delight. “You’ve got a bit of ice cream on your nose, kiddo,” he teased, reaching over with a napkin.Mia giggled, swiping at her nose with the back of her hand. “It’s part of the experience!” she declared with the seriousness of a gourmet critic. “Then I suppose I’m not allowed to clean you up,” Davin replied, exchanging a knowing glance with Helen. The sun shone brightly overhead, and the market was a riot of colors and sounds. Families milled about, vendors called out their wares, and the laughter of children filled the air. The moment felt suspended in time, a perfect snapshot of happiness that Davin wished could last forever.“Let’s take a stroll down by the river after this,” Helen suggested, finishing her ice cream. “I heard they have a small arts and crafts fair set up along the walkway.”“Great idea! Mia, what do you think?” Davin

The next morning, Davin stirred awake, his thoughts drifting back to the previous night’s adventures. He felt a warmth in his chest, a comforting reminder of the laughter and connection he had shared with Helen. As he stretched and yawned, he could hear the faint sounds of Mia playing in the backyard.After quickly showering and dressing, Davin made his way to the kitchen. The rich aroma of fresh coffee greeted him, and he poured himself a cup, savouring the first sip. Just then, Helen appeared, her hair tousled and eyes still sleepy.“Good morning, sleepyhead,” he said, a smile breaking across his face.“Good morning,” she replied, stifling a yawn. “Last night was amazing. I can’t believe how much fun we had.”“I know! We need to do that more often,” he said, taking another sip of coffee. “It was nice to reconnect.”Helen smiled, the warmth of his words wrapping around her like a cozy blanket. “So, what’s on the agenda for today? More adventures?”“Definitely! I thought we could take

It was weekend already and the sun dawned bright and sunny, reflecting its warm glow through the window as Davin awoke, feeling refreshed. After the previous evening’s eventful drive and the satisfying dinner with his family, he was eager to embrace the day and make it more eventful. He glanced over at Helen, still peacefully asleep, and smiled at how lucky she was.Once dressed, Davin tiptoed into the kitchen to make coffee. As the rich aroma filled the air, he thought about how to surprise Helen later. It had been a while since they had a proper date night, and he wanted to change that. He’d plan something special, just for them.After breakfast and a lively chat with Mia about her upcoming school project, Davin turned to Helen, who had just finished her coffee. “How about we have a date night tonight?” he suggested, a playful grin spreading across his face. “Just you and me.”Helen raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “Really? That sounds wonderful! But you know we can’t just leave Mia a

The evening air was cool as Davin drove home, the satisfaction of the day’s meeting still buzzing in his mind. He replayed the conversation with the senior management team, feeling a cautious optimism about the potential for change. But just as he was beginning to relax, a sudden jolt from behind interrupted his thoughts.He slammed on the brakes, heart racing. The sound of crunching metal filled the air. Davin glanced in the rearview mirror, realizing he had been rear-ended. He exited the car, already feeling the adrenaline coursing through him.As he stepped out, his heart sank when he recognized the sleek red Ferrari that had collided with his SUV. Emerging from the driver’s side was Derek, Mia’s boyfriend, his face twisted with anger.“What the hell!?” Derek shouted, his voice cutting through the evening calm. “Why would you let your driver bump into my car?”Davin’s driver, a calm and seasoned man named Richard, was already trying to de-escalate the situation. “I’m sorry, sir.

Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the room and hinting at a promising day.As he made his way to the kitchen, the sounds of breakfast filled the air. Helen was already bustling about, preparing pancakes while Mia sat at the table, her homework spread out in front of her.“Good morning, family!” Davin announced, pouring himself a cup of coffee.“Good morning, Dad!” Mia replied, her head buried in her math workbook. “Can you help me with this problem? I’m really confused.”“Of course,” he said, moving to her side. “What’s stumping you?”“It’s this one about fractions,” she said, pointing at the page with a furrowed brow. “I don’t get how to add them.”Davin knelt beside her, explaining the process step-by-step. He loved these moments of connection, the way teaching Mia helped him solidify his own understanding of concepts. After
