The Don was scribbling into a document when Shadrach and Melvin walked in."Good day Don," They both greeted.Don dropped his pen and looked at them. "I remember you two, what do you want from me?"He looked at Melvin. "I thought I told you the contract has been terminated so why did you get your brother to come here with you?"Shadrach exchanged glances with Melvin."He's the managing director of our company and he is supposed to be in charge of the contract. We are very sorry for the negligence on our part," Melvin replied.Don raised a brow. "Your apologies mean nothing to me actually, I have already cancelled the contract which was breached and I am waiting for the compensation or else we will take it forcibly.""Mr. Don, can't you consider your decision? That company is our family's only means of livelihood, if it's taken away from us, we could be ruined," Shadrach said."There's nothing I can do Mr Marshall. Policies are policies and rules are rules and we must abide by them to
Leonard drove into the parking lot and walked out of his car. The Don was waiting beside his car."Let's go."The Don showed the guards his invite and walked in with Leonard. "This way. I've prepared a place for you where you can see what's going on without anyone noticing your presence.""Good. Take me there."The Don led him through the staircase, on the top floor there was a secret compartment. Don typed in a password and the doors opened, the room was quite spacious and from there he could see what was going on downstairs.It's seems no one was allowed upstairs which made everything perfect."I like it."Don smiled slightly. "I know you would. The auction will start soon."Leonard said nothing and only nodded in response.Downstairs, there were both men and women of opulence. They were all dressed in expensive wears. In such gatherings like this, wealthy families send their representatives who would be dressed in clothes to outdo other families and show their position in the socie
After Leonard went missing for three years after his last mission, his position as the king of the dark dragon was vacant and someone had to fill in the space.Dark dragon group had alot of talents and Micheal who was in the top tier of three was chosen as the king dragon based on his abilities. Now that Leonard is back, he felt threatened.Michael walked over to a seat and sat down with a smirk."Doesn't he know he shouldn't show himself out in public this way?" Leonard glanced at Don."I think he only wants to show his superiority over you.""Hmph," Leonard sighed.The man beside Micheal whispered some words to him which made his expression darkened.The guests at the auction were staring at him with confusion etched on their faces. No one spoke a word as it was well obvious that this was some sort of a commercial war after hearing the staggering prices they spat out.Others with foresight knew that it was more than the Diamond Heart necklace."$120 million, " Leonard's voice rang o
8pm, Shadrach's Home. A soft knock came on the door. Catherine wiped her wet hands with a napkin. Opening the door, she raised a brow quizzically. "Yes, how may I help you?" She asked. "Good evening ma'am, have been instructed to take you and your husband to the banquet." Catherine was confused. "What banquet are you talking about?" "What's wrong dear? Who's at the door?" Shadrach asked. He walked up to the door. "Shadrach, he said he's here to take us to a banquet. Do you know of any banquet?" Shadrach nodded. "A mysterious rich man appeared in the auction and soon a banquet was been announced to take place, so most people say this concerns the rich man. He bears the last name Marshall." Catherine looked at the driver and back at Shadrach. "What do you say? Should we go?" Shadrach sighed and nodded. "Yes. Maybe if this was a misunderstanding we can get it solved there." He glanced at the driver, "Give us some time to get dressed." … The Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Chandler and
"After I made you to rape that girl and make it look like it all his fault and now this had to happen!" Melvin yelled."All to get the recognition of that old man!"Chandler stared at the people staring at him. He was utterly confused.Soon the clips turned to that of a college courtyard. It was all dark and the light around came from a faint streetlight.A young man was on top of a young lady who was crying terribly."Please let me go! Don't do this to me!" The lady pleaded.The lady was no other than Marilyn Everett. Emily's cousin.But the young man gave no heed to him and did his deed, leaving her in tears. The lady was too occupied with crying and covering her face with shame.Another lady was passing by, the streetlight shone on his face, it was Leonard. He had just finished his last delivery of the day and was to retired to his room when he heard the cries of the lady when the rapist heard someone's footsteps, he ran away but the streetlight also shone on his face.It was Victo
The car which had brought them to the banquet was waiting for them in the parking lot. Leonard led his parents to the car.The car drove away to the Pacific estate. The Pacific estate gates looked even more beautiful than Leonard had seen in the pictures.As the car approached the gate, they were being greeted by two impressive and intricately-designed pillars that stand tall and proud, symbolising the grandeur of the estate. The gates themselves are crafted from the finest gold and adorned with intricate details that shimmer in the sunlight, casting a warm, golden glow across the landscape.As they got closer, the gates slowly opened to reveal a long, tree-lined driveway that winds its way to the sprawling estate, promising a glimpse of the luxury that awaited them.Catherine gasped in surprise staring at the estate with glistening eyes, she held Shadrach tightly. Shadrach couldn't believe his eyes, was this where they would be staying?Leonard smiled, from the look on his parents'
"Dad, I know you have put in all your efforts into building what the Marshall's corporation is right now. All the heights achieved were all because of your dedication but it was unjustly taken away from you," Leonard said, staring at his dad.Shadrach sighed, "Leonard, why are you bringing this up now?""I have successfully brought back what was yours," He replied with a smile.Catherine was just coming out of the wardrobe area. "What do you mean Leonard?""Here are the ownership documents that Don had collected from Melvin. The company is now yours once again, the contract will belong to you so we both will have cooperation between our companies.""I'll help in my little way to build your companies."Shadrach eyes shone with tears in them. He hugged Leonard tightly and tapped his back, tears rolling down his eyes."Son, you've made me proud. Thank you so much."Catherine folded her arms with tears in her eyes as well. "Leonard, come here."Leonard hugged his mother. "Mom, do you like
"Max?"The lady in front of him nodded. "It's been awhile Leonard. I always believed you were never dead, I always did and now I've proven myself right."Leonard stared at her with a little smile. She was still the same Max he had known. The rose on her ear says it all, no matter the weather or mission, Max always wore a rose on her ears and no one knew why.It was her signature look."How did you know I was here?"Max giggled. "It's easy. No one here in California can do what you did, buying a mansion at such a staggering price and I've been tracking you down."Leonard nodded. Aquafina and Diana were right then."Can't I come in?" Max asked, looking inside."Sure," Leonard answered, paving the way for her. "I was just having breakfast before you came.""Good. I'm damn hungry."Leonard scoffed and rolled his eyes. "You haven't changed Max, you are always hungry.""Hey, don't blame me. It was so draining trailing you the way I did so I'm bound to be hungry.""Leonard, who's that?" Cath
