After we finished eating, I packed the dishes and took them back to the kitchen.The cleaning lady was still there so I politely asked her to help us do the dishes.She nodded in approval and I commended her for a job well done, and she smiled heartily.I then went back to the outdoor lounge and spoke to Logan.“Well I know it wasn’t much, but I personally made those sandwiches. What do you think?” I asked and smiled.“Actually they were very nice, it’s not like making sandwiches is a big deal though, but you did good Malcolm,” he said and we both laughed.I was glad the mood had lightened a bit, that was my intention exactly when I brought the food.We chatted about some non business related stuff a bit more, and soon we were totally relaxed.As I saw that we were both calm and in good moods now, I seized the opportunity to ask him what was wrong.“So Logan, dude what exactly is going on with you?” I asked.“Well Malcolm, I got fired,” he said calmly.It didn’t come as a surprise to
The second arc begins and the story takes us to the halls of the Ruby mansion, where a lone figure is seen making her way across the grand, brightly lit room.That person is none other than, Mrs Alice Ruby.She swings open two large doors when she gets to the edge of the hall, bringing her into the personal workspace of someone of unknown origin.He sar across the room at a large desk, and was seen writing something down.[Stepmom’s POV]‘This feeling, it’s appalling. It’s the first time I’ve tasted defeat from him in so many long years. Consecutive losses at that,’ I thought.The thoughts danced endlessly inside my head, and as I made my way across the large halls of the Ruby mansion, I had only one thing in my mind, revenge.I got to the edge of the room and swung the large oak doors open, and I was brought into an office where i could see a lone figure, at a desk at the end of the room.That lone figure, was the illegitimate head of the Ruby family, my father, Mr Anon.I made my wa
[Malcolm’s POV]I found myself checking in at a hotel, but not to spend the night, it was for my meeting.A meeting that should’ve come way earlier, but for some unknown reason, perhaps of fear of me, or fear of my step mother, had been avoided.Either way, it was a long time coming, and as I paid for the room, I went in and prepared myself to meet up with the criminals, my henchmen as I often referred to them as.After I declined my phone call with them, I’d arranged for a meeting with them, and here I was.It was the evening of the day I’d met up with Logan, and I chose to meet up there, because I didn’t want them to have any information of my whereabouts.It was kind of ironic however, my house address could clearly be seen on the magazines I had my face published on, but I guess my estate’s security was well to do.I waited patiently in the room, rocking my usual face mask and hoodie.‘Come to think of it, are the media allowed to just publish my face in a magazine, without my kno
The phone didn’t ring for long before he picked it up and I spoke to him.“Hey Logan, come over to my place, I have some things I need to discuss with you,” I said.“Alright then, I’ll be there in a few moments,” he responded.“Good I’ll meet you there,” I said and hung up.I zoomed out of the hotel and headed back home, as usual I needed to utilize these months I had at home effectively, so I would be discussing business with him once again.I arrived home shortly and thankfully he wasn’t around yet.I didn’t have much to do, so I waited till a cab pulled up directly at my gate.The gatekeeper opened the gates for them and sure enough, Logan came down from the taxi.He paid the cab man and they were on their way and he came into the house and was greeted by me.“How did you get the cab to come all the way in here?” I asked him.“I’m rich now,” he said simply and we both burst out laughing.We sat down at the outdoor lounge and chatted for a short while before getting down to business
The next day I woke up in high spirits, my results would be coming out that morning and I was eager to see how they would turn out.I was told at an earlier date that a link would be sent to our emails, where we would be able to check our results.I immediately jumped to my feet and rushed to my computer.Sure enough, the email was right there waiting for me.I clicked on the link and after a few steps, I was finally able to access my result.What I saw exceeded my expectations, I finished the exam top of the set, and I had perfect scores in all the subjects.I expected this, but I didn’t think it would actually happen. I ran downstairs and met Logan in one of the living rooms, he was doing some push ups.I jumped on him and we both crashed to the floor, thankfully we had a soft landing.He sat up first and was scratching his hair, “heyyy, what was that about,” he said.I jumped up to my feet and asked him to follow me, and I practically dragged him up the stairs.When we got to my ro
I finally finished packing my bags and I got dressed shortly.I got back onto my computer to reply to my texts.I congratulated them both and I informed them that I passed as well, but I didn’t go into much details about my results.I also added the fact that I would be unavailable for a while, and that I wouldn’t be able to entertain online conversations.When I was done, I took the packed bag and headed downstairs.I’d packed enough necessities to last me for a night, as that was probably all I would need.When I got downstairs, I saw Logan fully dressed.“Malcolm, I was just about to inform you that I’d be leaving now, are you going somewhere?” He asked, and he looked at the bag I swung over my shoulder.“Well, you’re right on the money, I’ve decided to pay my loving family a visit,” I said.“Oh? I’ve never heard you mention family before. What’s the occasion?” He asked and smiled.“Nothing too special, I’m basically going to rub my perfect scores in their faces,” I said and we bot
I was being dramatic, very dramatic, and I was just having fun on the spur of the moment.When the head of the security heard me say this, he looked up and saw the menacing look in my eyes, and quivered in fear.So it really was working, even I was surprised.“Please sir, I beg you to forgive my incompetence,” he said and he looked back down.‘Okay I think that’s enough with the dramatic antiques,” I thought to myself.I got back into my car and simply drove into the compound, the gates were already left open.I found a parking spot and I drifted into it, my tired screeching the floor loudly as I did so.The idea was to get my fathers attention, and let him see me in the car, but that didn’t seem to work.I got down from the car, a little bit frustrated, but all my angry emotions soon became null and void when I saw a familiar face.It was Benjamin, he was standing in front of the mansion, up the stairs.I practically ran up the stairs in one single leap and met with him.“Welcome Mas
“Master Malcolm, you'll need headphones for tha….” He said.Bang! Bang! Bang!I hit the shots with incredible accuracy.My shooting had improved drastically, I couldn’t tell if it was because of my upgraded attributes, or if it was because of my larger frame.Benjamin stared at me in disbelief, he was in awe of how accurate my shooting was.When I finished, I blew the smoke from the muzzle of the gun with one small whiff, and I returned it back to where it was supposed to be.Benjamin walked up to me and spoke.“Master Malcolm, you really shouldn’t be shooting without headphones, you could damage your hearing,” he said with a concerned look on his face.“Yeah, yeah I hear ya, I won’t do it again,” I responded.Shooting a gun so large was a workout, and I was sweating profusely when I was done. I took off the tank top I was wearing and left my bare chest out in the open.I was panting a little bit, and I let the air blow against my body.Benjamin had another reason to be shocked, and s
