Later that day, an unknown man carrying a large bag walked into the King company building. He wore all black and his long pale blonde hair covered most of his face completely. The employees in the building watched the man in suspicion, wondering who he might be. The man walked over to the receptionist's desk. Her name tag read Clarissa. She looked at him warily but chose to act the way she was taught to. "Good day sir. How may I help you?" The man scratched his chin. "I'm looking for Alarick King." Clarissa typed on her computer. "All right. Just give me your name so I can see if you're on the system for today." The man didn't speak and continued to scratch his chin. The receptionist noticed what was going on and asked him a question. "You don't have an appointment, do you?" The man shrugged. "No but I am meant to see Alarick King." Clarissa looked away from her computer and then at him. "I'm sorry sir but if you don't have an appointment you can't see him today. I suggest
Alarick sat in his chair pondering on what he could do to get Charlotte back. He couldn't believe that the person whose father's death they bonded over would do such a thing to him. It was hard to believe. How would she even have a plan that would lead to her father dying or did she underestimate Jonathan's friendship with his father? Alarick tried to piece together all the information he had gotten some minutes before with everything that had happened so far, just as Chiny walked into the office. He had accumulated all the information that he could find on Charlotte and approached Alarick's desk holding a flash drive in his hand."I've got it." Chiny said, pulling Alarick out of his thoughts. Alarick brought out his hand to collect the flash drive but Chiny hesitated."The money."Alarick sighed."Give me your account number."Chiny smirked and called it out.Alarick typed on his computer for some time before speaking."Done."Chiny's phone dinged. He checked it and saw that he had
Ethan had signed the documents that handed over his firm to Alarick immediately they settled down in Alarick's office. Once Ethan was gone, Alarick finished up some menial jobs before deciding to head home that evening. On his way out he spoke to Vivian who sat at her desk typing on her computer."Vivian, email all the members of the board that there will be a meeting tomorrow by 8:00 am to review what we spoke of at the last meeting. I'm done for the day. You should go home.""Okay Mr Alarick. Have a nice evening."Alarick walked off. He left the company building and drove to his house. He parked, entered the mansion and went straight to his room, opting to have a bath before calling his father to inform him of what happened today. The warm water that touched his body relaxed his tensed muscles. He was tired but he had things to attend to. Rest would have to wait. After his bath, Alarick had dinner in the dining room. The place was somewhat empty with only him being there. Everyone
"Welcome back Charlotte." Charlotte looked to the door and back to Alarick at the desk. She walked closer to Alarick, dropping her bag on an empty chair and confused. "Alarick, why are you here? How do you even know where I work?" Alarick unfurled his fingers. "It isn’t a government secret, finding out wasn’t a problem." "Where's Ethan, my boss? This is his office." "He isn't here and he isn't your boss anymore. Well he is, just not at the top of the command chain. I'm your new boss because as of yesterday, I bought this law firm." Charlotte stepped back and chuckled, covering her eyes. "You can't be serious. Bought the firm I work at? Why on earth would you do that?" Alarick stood up from his chair. He had to convince Charlotte to go back to the mansion with him where he could question her before handing her over to the police. He didn’t want to take the chance that he would get tipped off and have time to run away before getting to the mansion, if not he would have waited s
Alarick walked back into the room after some minutes holding a flash drive and a laptop in his hands. Charlotte sat on the lounge chair with indignation. Alarick set the laptop in front of her and put in the flash drive. He opened the document on the laptop and faced the device towards Charlotte. Charlotte saw a picture of herself with her name beside it in bold letters. She scooted forward on her seat to get a better look."What's this?" "Evidence against you. That's what I'm going to use to put you behind bars for the rest of your life." Charlotte surfed through the documents on the file, her face frozen with shock. She thought she had left this part of her past behind but here it was, staring her in the face. Charlotte sniffled and turned the laptop away."You did a background check on me? How dare you?"Alarick scoffed."Yeah right. Like I didn't have a right to do that when you stole confidential files from my company.""I did no such thing."Alarick walked over to her and tur
Alarick and his men drove east towards Lexington avenue. As they drove they searched for a man in a red baseball cap. Lucky for them, one of the guards found him. He picked up his phone and called Alarick."Sir, I found him. He's in a brown Volvo, straight ahead on your left."Alarick searched for the car where he was told it would be. His eyes landed on the brown Volvo some distance in front of him on his left side. He caught the image of a red baseball cap from the side view mirror of the car."Got it. Don't lose him." Alarick instructed the men.Alarick drove around a black jeep directly in front of him in order to catch up to the Volvo. He made sure not to lose sight of the car as he navigated several cars blocking his path. Soon enough he was right behind the Volvo. He came round to the right side of the car to make sure it was the man he was looking for. Alarick's eyes came face to face with Avon's. Avon gave him a small smirk."You!" Alarick shouted out but before he could re
Alarick walked through the doors of the police station after arriving shortly. He headed straight for Maurice's desk."What is so important that you called me down here? I have things to do."Maurice turned to him, looking pissed off."Oh, I know the important things you have to do."Maurice tossed a phone on the desk. Alarick picked it up and looked at it. It was an article from an entertainment news outlet.HEIR TO THE KING FORTUNE ALARICK KING ALLEGEDLY KIDNAPS A MAN IN BROAD DAYLIGHT"Just keep on flipping between all the sites, I have them lined up for you." Maurice said with a frown.

The press had already gotten a hold of what happeneda while ago and they were having a field day with it."It's everywhere. Did you see how many views? A million. A million people have seen this in roughl
Alarick and Maurice arrived at the station with Avon in tow. Avon had already been carried in and taken to the interrogation room for questioning while Maurice held Alarick back to speak to him."I know you're going to come in with me to ask Avon questions, I won't deny you that right. I only have one rule for you to follow. No threatening. Not like last time."Alarick nodded in agreement before he and Maurice went to the interrogation room. Avon was seated down looking at the 2 way glass mirror in the room. He turned to the men as soon as they walked in. Avon glanced at Alarick with aversion and turned away. Alarick took his seat as Maurice spoke while he did the same."You would have to cooperate with us if you want a light sentence." "Tch. What made you think I want a sentence at all?""We already have you. You're meant to be in a prison cell right now but you're here. Don't you know what that means? You might still have a chance." Maurice continued, trying to goad him into ratt
