"Why do we need to meet?" Oliver asked Harry who chuckled over the phone. Oliver stood up, and walked to the window, taking in a view of the city."I want us to catch up, son. There are things that I have been able to figure out while I was in the shadows. I want to share them with you," Harry said."It's a little too late to try and be a father, don't you think so?" Oliver asked Harry. "Look, just come to me, let's talk it over. I'm at the Louvre Resort. I'll keep a reservation for you," Harry replied and Oliver hung up.Although he was angry, Oliver wanted to know what his father had in store. Something told him that Harry had tricks up his sleeves and Oliver did not want to be caught unawares. So when he was done with the day's work, Oliver drove back home to change into something casual. He wanted to avoid detection and going in in a disguise was the best thing to do.Oliver drove to the Louvre Resort and parked his car. He stepped down, approached the building and entered insid
"You must divorce Cara now. You've been nothing but a fucking disgrace since you married my daughter. This family deserves more than a miserable son-in-law like you!"Tim, Oliver's father-in-law yelled at him. Oliver raised his brow while gazing at Tim, and tension filled the air as he stood before his wife's family.Their fiery eyes spoke volumes; a sheer hatred against Oliver that words could barely describe.He had wondered why they suddenly called on him that night. Since he married Cara, they've always made him sleep in the basement and never allowed him access to the main building except to mop and clean.Then, they'd ridicule him, call him names, and even spit on him for being a live-in son-in-law.But Oliver endured all of this for one reason only: his love for Cara. Even though she joined them and treated him less than an animal, Oliver made excuses for her inside his head.He didn't want to let her go.He so desperately hoped that she would pass his test, and show that she
"I am Dominick Torino, CEO of Torino Group. I've heard some embarrassing things about you, Oliver. Why don't you come to work for my company as a security guard? With that look on your face, you'll definitely keep people in check," Dominick said with a snicker."Take the job, Oliver, so you won't be wandering the streets after the divorce. You already know I've made up my mind to dump you," Cara said to Oliver unapologetically.Oliver frowned at them."I'll never work for such a small company!" Oliver snapped, and his response made everyone present erupt in a fit of laughter."Ignorant fool. My company is just about to receive a huge investment from Black Oil Incorporated. You don't know what you've missed," Dominick replied to Oliver.Oliver's anger suddenly swirled into surprise. His eyes dazzled with curiosity when he heard the name."Black Oil Incorporated has expanded into the country?" He asked Dominick who glared at him with curiosity in his eyes."How does someone like you kno
A taxi drove to a stop in front of Black Oil Incorporated's local branch. Oliver stepped down from the taxi and eyed the building. He paid the cabbie off and approached the establishment, but the security man standing there stretched forth his hand and pushed Oliver back."You cannot come inside," the security man said to him with disdain. Oliver arched his brow."What do you mean? This company allows access for everyone, do they not?" Oliver questioned."This company is a fast-rising advanced tech company that opens its doors to potential customers alone. You are not a potential customer! Take a look at yourself. You're a poor tramp in old, worn-out clothes. You belong in an asylum. Leave, or I will kick you out myself!!" The security man yelled at Oliver.Oliver frowned. His anger slowly twisted his heart as he dipped his hand into his pocket and took out a ring.The ring was made of pure gold and had a large "B" engraved on it.The security man watched as Oliver wore the ring, and
It's been three days since the divorce. Oliver stepped into his new office wearing an expensive black Italian suit with leather shoes. He had a good haircut and looked as sophisticated as they come.He looked different, like he had undergone a major glow up!When he entered his office, his phone rang. The caller was Jamie, his late father's butler, who had always told Oliver not to bring himself down and disguise himself as a poor guy to search for love."Young master Oliver, I have an update on your father's assassination twenty years ago. Tim, your ex-wife's father, is responsible!"Jamie suddenly blurted out, like the weight of the realization was too much for him to bear. Oliver frowned, his face darkening."What did you just say?" He asked in a menacing tone."Do you remember the Circadian Deal? The business deal that took the finance world by a storm years ago? Your father was the driving force. It would have changed the country's economic state for good. Lives would have been em
Oliver instructed Jamie to wait for him in his mansion with further news regarding his father's assassination while he and Geena took a stroll to a jewelry shop.He realized that he had not gotten Geena a present yet since they started going out and Oliver wanted to correct that.When they stepped inside, Oliver looked around, trying to see what would fit Geena best."Oliver, you really don't have to get me anything. I'm fine. You've already given me a promotion at work. That is enough for me," Geena said meekly, and Oliver smiled."Your kind is rare, Geena. I must reward you for being a good person. Besides, when we get married, you'll have a company of your own!" Oliver said to her, still looking around. Geena was shocked."You want to marry me?" She asked him. Oliver took her hand and kissed it."Geena. Since I set my eyes on you, I knew that you would become my wife. When the time is right, I'll ask you to marry me. But for now, just enjoy what I'll buy for you," he told her and sh
"Dominick, do you think gambling is the best thing to do now? You should be focused on getting your terminated contract back from Oliver Blaze," Cara said to Dominick while they stepped into the casino.Dominick's mind was made up, and his glares were intentional. He glided toward a table and then turned to Cara."You said it yourself, Cara. I'm broke. I have to make some money and fortunately for me, I'm an excellent cheat at gambling. Don't worry, I'll win so much tonight that we'll buy a private jet," he said to her and smiled.Cara rolled her eyes, she had a bad feeling about it. But at that point, Dominick wouldn't change his mind."Look who we have here. It's Oliver Blaze!" Dominick said to Cara as he pointed to Oliver's table. Oliver had decided to take some things off his mind as he played with a few people. Despite being an excellent player, he decided to let his opponents win just for the fun of it."Dominick, what are you thinking?" Cara asked him, her breath getting deepe
"Young master, there's been an accident! Your girlfriend Geena is dead!!" Jamie's words made Oliver freeze. Oliver had decided not to go to the office that day, and Geena took his car instead."What did you say?" Oliver asked Jamie like he didn't quite get it the first time."There was an explosion at the square. Your car exploded. The police are on their way as we speak-" Jamie's words were cut off when Oliver dashed out of the house.He quickly grabbed the first car that he saw, and got in. And then, Oliver zoomed off. His breath was heavy, and his chest sunk into his heart.Geena could not be dead. She couldn't! Oliver approached the square and saw a lot of onlookers glaring at the gory scene, and the police had made a line already.He stepped down from his vehicle and slowly began to approach the scene."Hey, sir, you can't go further. That's a crime scene," a cop tried to push Oliver back but he ignored the cop and went straight in.People watched as Oliver checked what was left
