Don Bosco began to fidget. His eyes dilated in their sockets. Leonard seemed to have been angered by someone. He regained his composure and turned to observe the surroundings. A man was holding his arm, wailing in pain. Damn! They must have made master angry. "Who stopped him from entering into the company?" Don Bosco asked, this time he was no longer fearful but back to his authoritative self. The guards exchanged glances with each other. None being able to say a word. "Bosco, I didn't expect you to have such snobbish guards. I told them I forgot my card but one actually pushed me away. What do you think I should do to you for that?" Leonard asked, folding his arms. Don Bosco's eyes widened and he swallowed hard. "Who pushed my most honoured guest?" He roared. The guards shivered in fear, they were too stunned and scared to speak. "A cat caught your tongues?! Since when have you three become dumb?!" Silva walked up to Don Bosco with a smile. "Good day Mr Don, my father sen
In a presidential suite in the four seasons Hotel, moans and groans filled the air until the sound of a phone ringing distrupted the sweet moment for both Collins and the lady. "Ahh," The Lady groaned with displeasure as Collins pulled away from her. It was his dad. "Hello." "Collins, what the hell did you do?!" His father's angry voice yelled over the phone. Collins immediately glanced at the whore who understood and taking her clothes, she left. "I don't understand dad, what's the problem?" "Where exactly are you? And the hell did you offend to make them target us in this way?!" "I'm with some friends besides I haven't offended anyone recently," Collins replied. Suddenly the thought of his encounter with Leonard flashed in his mind, but he threw the thought away. Leonard isn't someone to worry about. "Collins, we are on the verge of getting bankrupt. Someone is targeting us on purpose and I haven't offended anyone as well. The Don cancelled all our cooperation with the Me
THE MARSHALL’S RESIDENCE. “Leonard,” Shadrach called out as he watched Leonard eat his breakfast in a hurried pace. “Yes dad, you need anything?” Leonard asked, wiping his mouth with a napkin. “You’ve been really busy and you don’t even come back home early, is there any problem?” He said with concern. Catherine also looked up at Leonard waiting for his reply. “Yes Leo, since you came back home, you’ve changed.” Leonard smiled faintly and glanced at his parents. “Mom, Dad, you don’t have to worry too much about me. I’m fine.” Bang! Bang! A sudden knock came with all force on the door. Catherine held the napkin on the table with fear in her eyes. Leonard stared at them, noting the scared reactions of his parents he already knew who was at the door. He stood up and walked slowly to the door. The knocks became persistent. Leonard held the door’s handle and pulled open the door. It was victor, he almost fell to the ground when the door was “Didn’t your father teach you how to kno
Shadrach looked at his dad whose face was swollen with anger. "I'm sorry dad." Chandler only glanced at him and didn't say a word. Leonard curled up his fist in anger. This family only derives joy in humiliating father! I'll definitely bring back the lost honour and respect for my father and they will kneel and crawl on the floor in front of father for the ill treatment given to him! ... The party continued and the whole family and guests had given up their gifts. Chandler stared at Shadrach and his family. "Don't tell me you didn't bring any gifts for me." Every eye turned towards them. Leonard stepped forward. "Of course grandpa. It's your birthday and so we're supposed to bring a gift for you." Taking out a small sized bottle from his pocket. He handed it over to the servant beside Chandler. "What's this?" Chandler asked, puzzled, staring at the white crystalline substance in the bottle. "Salt." They all exchanged glances. "What do you mean?" "I brought salt for you
"Young man, how did you manage to lay your hands on such a rare commodity. I've been looking for this salt for years now but I haven't been able to lay my hands on one," Edward said, staring at Leonard with amazement. Hearing that the salt was actually real, rare and expensive. Chandler's face immediately brightened up. "Get the salt off the floor. Put it back into a bottle, my grandson gave me an expensive gift," Chandler whispered to the servant with a big grin on his face. Upon hearing how expensive Leonard's gift was, he hurriedly spoke to the servant beside him to get the salt off the floor but suddenly, Edward said with a wide grin. "Mr Marshall, I hope you don't mind if I get the salt? You threw away such a priceless and expensive gift meaning you never wanted it so I will love to get it for myself." Leonard smirked widely, he had heard Chandler whisper to the servant to get the salt off the floor. However, it seemed Edward also had his eyes on this rare salt. Chandler's
Mega Conglomerate. Sounds of ruffling papers filled the air as Leonard was going through some documents on his table, signing and discarding some into the dustbin. His phone rang loudly interrupting him. It was Amanda. "Hey Leonard, it's been awhile. How have you been?" Amanda's cheerful voice came through the other end. "Yeah, I've been good. Just busy lately. What about you?" "I'm okay, just been busy with the bank and all. I'm on lunch break now and I decided to call you." Upon hearing the word 'bank', a thought popped into his mind. "Amanda, I remember your bank has many branches in New York, do you also have branches in California?" Leonard asked with a raised brow. "Yeah we do." "Good! Can I ask for a favour from you?" "Uhm yeah. If it's in my power to grant your favour for you then shoot, I'll see what I can do." "Can you investigate if the Parker family in California has business cooperation with any of the branches around?" Leonard asked. Since
THE MEGA CONGLOMERATE Melvin stood beholding the magnificence of the high tower building office complex. He arranged his tie and collar and proceeded to enter into the building. “Hey where’s your permit?” A guard said with a stern face, staring at him. Melvin let out an annoyed scoff and brought out a card from his pocket. The securities were strict with visitors and employees. Every visitor was to have a visit permit, which will show to the guard. Most of the formalities were to be done via the company’s website; employees were to show their cards before entering. Once I get the contract with this company, let me see how you will behave towards me. Puffing his shoulders up with pride, Melvin entered into the company’s complex and was met by Mr. Daniel Reigns who was standing by the door, checking his wristwatch time to time. “Mr. Reigns,” Melvin greeted with a smile.A look of irritation appeared on Daniel’s face as he stared at Melvin. “You’re ten minutes
THE EVERETT’S RESIDENCE.Collins walked into the villa with a train of servants behind him carrying wrapped gifts. “Hello everyone, it’s anyone at home?”James appeared at the staircase at the sound of his voice alongside his entire family. Upon seeing him, Amelia rolled her eyes with irritation and walked away. Emily stared at her sister and was about to do the same.“Emily? Please I’m sorry,” Collins said, kneeling on the floor with one knee. “Please don’t take what happened between us to heart. Find a space in your heart to forgive me, I’m a changed man now.”James immediately ran down the stairs towards and tried to help him up.“No uncle, don’t try to help me up. I won’t stand up unless Emily decides to forgive me and if she doesn’t, I don’t think there should be any need for a marriage between us. I’m sure my decision is fair,” Collins said with a hidden smirk.“Huh?” James turned to look at Emily.“Emily dear,” Rosalie called out, holding her shoulders affectiona
Unknown to them, Leonard had seen their gestures and as soon as their eyes met, Justin couldn’t help but turn his gaze away, intimidated by his sharp gaze. At a dark corner, a man stared at Leonard with interest as he sipped his drink.…New YorkKeith had been introduced to Bella who granted him audience. “Miss Hadid, I have come here to see for your help as I can see that you are the only one who can help me.”Bella had switched to professional mode instantly and looked up Keith and said, “What kind of help would a model offer to an influential man like you?” “Miss, I am sure you must have gotten information about our ongoing projects from your agency already and I will like to collaborate with you to help my company.”“There are other A-list models in New York, Mr. McDonald. Why did you decide to come to me?”Keith inhaled sharply and responded. “I didn’t think that they will be fit enough to battle with our competitors.”“The Maldivians” Bella said with a small smile. “They are yo
Harry’s eyes widened in shock. He was shaking terribly. If Leonard wanted, he could wipe out the Hades family in seconds and now his foolish daughter had probably gotten him angry.The guests were confused at Harry’s disheveled posture. They glanced at Leonard, some of the guests remembered who had met him outside recognized him.“He was the one who said he trampled down on the Hades family and destroy them in seconds,” One of them said to her friend.“Such audacity! He doesn’t even look like a rich scion; he looks like an ordinary man to me. I’m very sure Mr. Hades is going to teach him a big lesson.”“But he has a gold card and can’t you see how slightly bent Mr. Hades is.”“Why would he be covered in sweat?”The guests bean to murmur, wondering who exactly Leonard was to make Harry so visibly frightened. One of the heads of the four great families was scared of a man? Then his identity definitely wasn’t going to be simple.Vanessa stood at one section of the hall, listening to the
Everyone gasped in shock.Leonard actually rejected Agnes. Agnes was really pretty and had right proportions in the right places; her skin was as white as snow and also flawless. She had the height and looks to pose for a model but she opted to working for her father in the company. Many men will die to have her but Leonard had rejected her instantly. Roman also thought Leonard to be stupid for rejecting the young miss in that manner, but he couldn’t swallow the fact that his woman had taken the initiative to ask him out. Once again, Leonard had the attention of the woman he wanted.Agnes stared at Leonard’s disappearing figure and felt humiliated. No one has ever rejected her in such a manner, making her feel so insignificant. This action from Leonard even made more interested in him so she went in, completely forgetting about Roman who had no invitation and was merely tagging alone.…Inside, Leonard found a spot away from the crowd and sat down. He spotted Justin and the other head
“Go on, apologize to her,” Roman ordered.“You seem to have forgotten how you were chased out of Amanda’s party and humiliated. Do you want another dose of that?” Leonard said with a sinister smile.“You…” Roman was furious. He didn’t expect Leonard to bring that up in front of Agnes. “If anyone is meant to be thrown out, then it will be you! Agnes, don’t even bother letting him in. Order your guards to throw him out and break a few bones as well for insulting your family.”“Gladly,” Agnes sneered, motioning at her bodyguards to throw him out.Roman searched Leonard’s face to see any trace of fear but he saw none. He couldn’t help but sneer.Still trying to act tough!Agnes’ bodyguards were heavily bodied compared to the slim-looking Leonard. They were so trained from renowned boxing rings in the world and were professionals in martial arts.Leonard narrowed his eyes as they approached him. He wasn’t in for this, all he wanted was to go in but Roman had decided to cause trouble for hi
“Leonard, you must apologize to my fiancée immediately,” Roman sneered, his eyes narrowing. Back then, he had known Leonard wasn’t an ordinary person but that was in New York, he wouldn’t have that power in Oklahoma after all Amanda and Mary were not here to save him.The lady looked up at Roman, “You know him?” “Yes. Back in New York, he had caused a lot of trouble for me. But that doesn’t matter; he must apologize for almost running your dress. I promise you that Agnes.”Agnes glanced at Leonard. Her eyes were clearly filled with scorn as she stared at Leonard’s wears. He was dressed rather shabby, dressed in a brown leather jacket and a dark wash jean trouser.What can of man would dress so shabby to a party filled with distinguished guests? He looks so ordinary. I won’t wear this dress anymore. It has been stained!Leonard sighed and said, “If you look at me, you bumped into me and I have no reason to apologize to you because your dress isn’t ruined in any way.”“How
7pm,Oklahoma.“Mr. Leonard,” Gabriel said with courtesy as he opened the door of the car for him. Leonard nodded a greeting and they drove out of the estate.“From the invite, I’m sure you already know the venue of the party. Mr. Justin had thrown the party to celebrate his granddaughter’s graduation from college.”“So we are going for prom?” Leonard asked.Gabriel couldn’t help but chuckle. “Not really. Justin’s family is one of the four great families of the city; the party is trying to bring the families under one room to discuss the impending danger and also to introduce his daughter to the business circle.”Leonard nodded at Gabriel’s explanation. The four great families of Oklahoma City comprises of: The Davison, The Hades, The Brighton and The Wades, Justin’s family.The recent attack has been on the Hades and the remaining two families were also attacked by the same person. There was a high possibility of an attack on the Wades which might even happen during the party.“The
“Leo?” Keith called out, comporting him. “I wasn’t expecting to hear from you so soon.” “I apologize for not calling earlier.” “Leo, you don’t have to apologize to me for anything. I understand that you will be quite busy there,” Keith said with a smile.“I saw the news.” Keith went silent. In fact, it was everywhere. He had already contacted some media houses to pull it down or he would sue them. Not hearing a word from him, Leonard said, “You are a brave man, Keith. For coming out to face the public and protecting your son. My company is in good hands.”Keith went cold at the mention of the company. If all things don’t go as planned, e would lose his seat and who knows what action the board will take. If he loses the seat, Leonard would be removed as the chairman. No, he won’t let that happen.“Keith, is there anything wrong happening in the company? If you need my help do not hesitate to ask for it.”“Don’t worry Leonard. Everything is under control, we are just waiting for your r
All the while Keith was on phone with Seth; Marilyn was attending to the reporters so no one took notice of him. Keith stared at her with disgust on his face. This time she truly went too far.He glanced at the board members who were staring at him and he sighed deeply. “My son will like to speak to his mother,” Keith announced.Marilyn looked at him with amazement as well as the reporters. “I thought he said he was never going to talk to me again.”“Well, if you know he said that, why did you put on this show? You are embarrassing his father publicly!” Keith fumed. “But I’m also his mother!”Keith ignored her words and stared at Seth on the phone. “Are you ready now, son?”Seth nodded. “I will do anything to kick that woman out of our lives.”Keith turned his phone screen in such a way that it would face the ground.“My name is Seth Donald and I am Keith’s son. That woman over there is not my mother.”Marilyn immediately went closer to Keith in an attempt to grab the phone but Keith w
Wills Rogers World Airport, Oklahoma.The plane arrived at the airport and passengers streamed out. Leonard walked out the airport and spotted a black car waiting for him. A man dressed in black suit walked up towards him with a mysterious air excluding from him.“Welcome to Oklahoma city, Leonard. I’m Gabriel Pierce.”…The car drove through the city of Oklahoma with silence. Leonard stared at his phone and saw 5 missed calls from his parents and he couldn’t help but smile. Once, he’s done with this mission and he was sure that there were no impending danger; he will take them both out for a family vacation.He sighed deeply and tired.“I’m taking you to house we have prepared for you. I’ll come pick you up tomorrow evening for the party. Everything you will need to know about the family is in this flash drive,” Gabriel said, giving him a purse containing the drive.Leonard nodded, not seeing a word, feeling Gabriel’s eyes on hi. At this point, her still couldn’t let his guard down.
