He pushed the door open and walked into the building, he sat at the far corner of the restaurant with a smile on his face. Though the restaurant is not filled up but they were quite alot of people here even though this is night time. He preferred being the CEO from the shadows, pulling the reins from the shadow for now, the CEO is left open though. Everyone was being told that the CEO is on a business trip somewhere else. The workers are not dumb, they had caught on that the CEO is probably trying to keep his or her identity and the person might be among them, unknowingly to them. Hazel is known as the manager and the one taking control of things for now. Robert knew that at least if he is not making much income, he is going to be making more than an average businessman in a week more tim

Robert sat with Hazel in his office sipping his wine slowly and looking at the report for the day, the reports were always from six o'clock in the morning till eight o'clock in the night, since he always visit the restaurant mostly at eight thirty at night and the times he came earlier before the closing time, he might show up in the restaurant with his mask on and a suit.

They had gotten really close and deep down Robert could feel that he is beginning to develop feelings for Hazel, the lady who have been with him through thick and thin. He don’t want to discuss the matter any further again, the pain of everything he had to go through is starting to surface and it is taking everything that he have to suppress that pain as much as he can.

The Williams always wanted to pursue him out of their life but it will really affect their business life. They were starting to get pissed and poured out their frustration and grievances on him, telling him that he is staining their family ancestry with his poverty.

Cassy sat in front of the television watching the early morning news along with her mother, Mrs. Alice. Robert is quite surprised as he saw them sitting in front of the television, he had never seen them watching the news before except Mr. Derrick. When he woke up, he was surprised that he didn't wake up with a splash of water on his face since he had overslept after coming home early this morning. He walked further to see what they were watching and a smile spread on his lips. "Yesterday the Penfolds industries manager and representative Mr. Liam Richards opened a new industry yesterday at..." The newscaster said and a video of Liam opening the industry was shown on the television. Soon the media was shown crowding Liam."Sir, please can you give us information about the masked CEO or can you tell us who he is?" one of the reporters at the scene said, stretching her microphone to him.There was a pause as everyone waited for him to answer. This is the question that have been crowd

“I know” Liam said again calmly with a smile on his face, with his eyes on the road as he drove fast still maintaining speed limit. “Why are you smiling?” Robert asked with pouted lips. Liam decided to ignore his question, he have something else to ask him, “Have you told her yet?” “No” Robert replied immediately. This time they weren’t having that boss to employee conversation, it is a best friend to a best friend convo. Liam and Robert both know when to keep the conversation casual or official. Liam let out a soft chuckle “You should tell her before she gets hijacked from you, I noticed she have a lot of suitors hot on her heels. I have seen some at the conference meetings the both of us have gone to” Robert gritted his teeth and clenched his fist at the thought of seeing Hazel with another man, it irritated his skin and he wouldn’t take him a second to punch out the teeth of the unfortunate fellow. He felt his heart burn with anger, he breathed out calmly to reduce his anger,
Presidential Son-in-law CHAPTER TWENTY THREE
On the news the next day and on all social medias, there was an uproar as a mysterious lad come online and proclaimed that he have cracked the identity of the man behind the mask of the masked CEO, posting different photos of the back of a young man walking into the restaurant late at night after they had closed as proofs that he wasn’t joking and he added a photo of his front but he blurred his face. Robert was moping the floor when he saw the news on the television, he didn’t need his in-laws to tell him before he does it, he had become a clean freak over the years that he even cleans up any dirt he sees on the floor. Robert was shocked as he saw the images on the television, for sure this photos on the television is him no doubt about it. Robert stood transfixed to the spot unable to move a limb, his eyes were glued on the television. He was about to switch the television off, immediately Cassy walked into the sitting room and sat on the couch with all her attention on the televi
Presidential Son-in-law CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR
A smile stretched on Cassy's face as she heard what her mother had to say. "You want me to seduce this new and naive CEO?" Cassy questioned with a smile to be sure she heard what her mother said. She already knows her mother to always have a secret plan up her sleeves or come up with anything mischievous at the dying minute, or even turn the tables around in her favor when you least expect it. Her mother nodded. 'If Cassy marries this new CEO who is rumored to be among the top richest in the town. Her family will get up to their feet in the blink of an eye' Mrs. Alice is sure that nobody would be able to resist advances from her daughter, even the new CEO won't be able to resist her, or so she thought. "You have to use what you have to get what you want, this is just another way of trade. First of all you have to get rid of that thing you call a husband" Cassy scrunched her face in disgust as she looks at her mother, "Eww... I can and will never call that thing my husband. It's

Robert walked further away from the Williams mansion and inhaled deeply with his hands stretched apart. "The smell of freedom is wonderful" Robert laughed out loud. "Fate is really working my way huh" He wanted to stop a taxi but he decided against it, he didn't know where to go from here. He sighed as he tried to think of other places he can go to. "It is high time I finally get my own house and car" Robert thought out loudly He is finally free to do as he pleases, without being bound by the Williams. He is finally free from their shackles. In the past it was either he didn't have the money to get what he always wanted, he was always held by something but this time felt different, he is free and have enough money to get more than his daily needs. He dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out his phone. He dialed Liam's number severally but he did not pick his call. Robert sighed, Liam is probably asleep after drinking to stupor overnight, so the only person he can call is

EPILOGUE
EPILOGUE A few years have gone by since Robert had defeated Lucian, immediately after he had brought Hazel to rest a bit there and had stepped out, the rest of the clan members have all walked out of their hiding to thank Will for defeating Lucian who had always been a threat to them and had always made them live their lives in fear that he might attack again, but now that he is dead, there is a huge peace of mind finally for all of the clan members and they didn’t fail to show their gratitude to him at all. Robert stood in front of the ceiling to roof glass in his office, staring at the view with his hands buried deep into his pockets, his mind slowly drifts back to the past few years, that very incident, just after he had saved Hazel. "Where are we?" she finally asked the question that had been on her mind for a long while, since she woke up. "Oh! We are at that castle we once came to through one portal, you remember, right?" "Yes" she nodded her head."Anyways, how are you?"

“Well, you are a very dumb guy, you think I can’t use that same, exact powers you just used to destroy Liam” Robert said with a cold smile and look. “I knew that, I took that into consideration and took steps ahead of time, which was poisoning you, au revoir Robert” he said with a dark chuckle. “What—“ Robert coughed out and he covered his mouth, he felt a liquid on his hand, he raised it up to his face and he saw the red liquid on his palm, “fu—fuck” he muttered and fell face flat to the ground. Lucian let out a loud laughter that was filled with so much joy as he made his way to the clan’s head castle and sat on the clan’s head seat while Wayde followed behind him closely and stood beside him as he sat on the chair. His heart danced with joy as his hands ran through the clan’s head chair. “Fuck! It’s all my goddamned fault” Robert sobbed silently with a deep pain in his heart, his body was slowly feeling numb all over, he was losing consciousness, in a matter of a few seconds,

Robert charged towards him and grabbed him by his collar, he raised him up and was about to slam his back on the ground but Damien grabbed his arm and broke free of his grasp and landed on the floor with a slight cough. Robert doesn't look like he was going to stop any moment from now with his continuous attacks, he kept on throwing several punches on Damien which were all becoming successful hits. Surprisingly still, Damien didn't retaliate, he only tried to step up his defense and increase his speed to match with Robert's current one but his body can't keep up again like in the beginning when he had blocked and evaded almost all his attacks successfully due to the impact of the successful attacks. He struggles to stand up from the floor with a groan, he wiped his nose with the back of his nose and stretched his hand forward, “See, I am your mother’s subo—“ Before he could finish his statement or stand properly, Robert charged at him again and gave him a kick from under his bod

Robert kissed her on her forehead, “Keep her somewhere safe that you know she won’t be attacked and put a very powerful barrier that will prevent anyone from entering there, around the place” he said and walked out. The aura radiating around him was so powerful, overwhelming and intimidating, he walked towards the weapons room and took out a long, curved sword, that he heard that hi

Robert stepped into the portal and sat on the couch with a tired sigh. He stood up back and went into his wine cellar, he picked out a new wine and pick out a glass cup on his way to the sitting room. He sat on the couch and poured the wine into the glass cup. He picked up the wine glass, looking at the red liquid, it was like he was about to puke because of the resemblance of the red liquid content from the bottle to the blood of a human. He dropped the wine on the table in front of him and sat back on the chair, he pulled out the phone from his pocket and dialed a number, placing it in his ear, the sound of the line ringing was the only sound that could be heard in the sitting room. The phone was picked and Alice's voice came in. "Hello sir' she said with a bit of excitement in her voice. "Liam said you went on a vacation, that is the major reason why you couldn't be reached during the past few days, is it true sir? I don't quite believe that man" she said with a slight chuckle.

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THIRTY ONE
Liam sat on a swivel chair in the board meeting room with his back turned towards the entrance, his face could not be seen from any angle, apart from the front, it was only his back that could be seen. He heard when the door was being pushed open and when it was locked, the person that brought in Dennis was dismissed with his hand. “Have your seat” he said without looking back. He turned the swivel chair around and faced Dennis with a grin on his face. “Here is your anonymous caller” he said, stretching his hands apart with a smirk on his face. The surprised look on Dennis face just made the smile to widen the more. “Wait, is this a joke, you are telling me that I lost to you” he said, pointing his fingers to Liam with a shocked look on his face that didn’t seem like it was going to be wiped off any moment from now at all. “Well, I am sure that you didn’t expect to lose to someone like me, I am one of his secret trump card who just seem to have a thinking of my own and can make

"If you want to continue this game of yours, then I am ready" Dennis said with a devilish smile on his face, his finger was hooked in the hole of a knife, which he twirls playfully around his fingers. A switch was on his other hand and a mask was on his face. He sat on a desk in an empty room staring at Carlton who was sitting on a chair with his hands tied behind it. "Ain't playing games man, I already told you times without number" Carlton answered shakily. "If you don't admit your crime, then I will have no other choice than to press this switch in my hand and you know what happens when I do" Dennis raised the switch up in the air to show him clearly, he waved it at him. "Don't involve my family in this shitty game of yours, you bastard!" Carlton yelled at him furiously, jerking the chair and trying to break free off it, not minding the pain that he was feeling as he dragged his hand apart but it was all to no avail. "I can also sit here and watch your futile effort to bre

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWENTY NINE
Robert walked towards Lucian and Wayde all covered in blood, from the crown of his head to the sole of his feet, even his shirt glued to his shirt and the sight looked quite scary to look at, the aura radiating around him was scary and overwhelming also. The look on his face was cold and void of emotions, his eyes was dark, he looked like the complete monster himself while walking towards Lucian, and his aura had changed completely. “Fuck!” Lucian muttered underneath his breath as he stared around, from the wall that was covered with blood and guts spilled on it, bodies with incomplete limbs, to the ground that was bathed in blood also. It was such a scary and disgusting sight to behold, the heavy stench of blood filled the whole passageway. He raised his finger and pointed at Lucian, who looked a bit shaken immediately he saw the hand being raised towards him, "make preparations, we are attacking them in a few days, I am not holding back again, the more I stay, the more I get atta

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWENTY EIGHT
Robert made a stance against Lucian and Wayde, who also made a stance, Robert charged in against the both of them with insane speed, Wayde and Lucian weren’t matching his speed but they made up for that in their numbers which gave them a slight advantage against him to cover up what they lack compared to him. Upon the advantage they have against Robert, he still didn’t seem to be fazed by it, he faced the challenge head on. He stopped abruptly in his steps as Wayde and Lucian evaded him in the nick of time immediately they saw him approaching them. “Come on, you all really need to stop running and fight me heads on are you both scared?” he said while taking slow steps towards Lucian, Wayde saw the opportunity that Robert was finally open and he dashed forward. “Gotcha” Robert muttered under his breath and with perfect timing he turned back and grabbed Wayde who was running with full speed by the neck and he slammed him on the floor, not taking his eyes off Lucian completely and wa
