Walls glittering with the sprinkles of designs littered all around them, perfect red carpets and the most beautiful lights dropping down from the sky. It was just the dream of a wedding that Louis thought he was going to have with his girlfriend, Jessica.And to crown his joy, they would be having a child together soon enough. Even though he worked round the clock, and the dark eyes of his finely cut face gradually sloped into dark circles, his joy remained."After everything! My hard work is going to pay and we will have the perfect ceremony together! Just like this one." The navigation remained on Louis's lips as he navigated through the halls.Even though Louis was trying to focus on his job, the sweet sound from the bride yelling I do with so much joy could not keep his ears from hearing it."But why does that voice sound so familiar?" Louis thought.His curiosity forced his head around to see who this person was and immediately his eyes laid on the couples? The cup in his hands
The anger in Louis' tone answered the questions in her head. The command that her master gave her would literally end Lord Kelly's company, even though Kelly was one of the richest men in their state. Without the money that Twin Tower lent him, he wouldn't have been in the discussion of the richest.She pushed herself to ask a question with her hands raised high.“Is there a problem?” Louis uttered, still fuming with the anger that reignited in his chest.“Not a problem, just wanted to know something”“Know what?” He queried her.She deliberated on whether to go through with what she had in mind.“Whatever, I should tell him anyway” Queen exclaimed in her mind “Sir, telling lord Kelly to pay up his debt would end his company” she uttered almost inaudibly.“I don't care but why do you say so”His eyes flared up for a quick response from her. It appeared that the sentence Queen had just uttered was what he actually wanted for them. Louis had already concluded that If they were brave en
Louis let go of Don and stepped back, filled with guilt for his ruthless behavior. He staggered at the sight of Don, bleeding profusely from his lips. He couldn't believe he did something like this to a human. He felt obligated to set him free but couldn't tell what Don's action was going to be next. The knife was still somewhere around him and he wasn't going to give into his sentiments only to get injured by a merciless man. So Louis just watched him writhe in pain as he waited for the police to find him. “I hope your time in jail teaches you to respect the life of others instead of treating it like it doesn't matter compared to yours” Louis managed to voice out when Don stopped groaning. They looked at each other, with no clue as to what the other one thought, but they knew how it was going to end for them.“Master!” Queen screamed with concern. She ran closer to him with other muscled men by her side, Louis feared she might tumble down because of her extremely long heels that sh
The grip on his neck became very unyielding as he struggled to breathe. The man realized that he had been outsmarted by someone he underestimated. His neck felt like snapping in half before he properly held the handle of his weapon and swung it out like a battle axe.He swung the knife in a different direction behind his back, trying his best to make Louis let go of him. His failure to pinpoint his exact position made him thrust the tip of the knife close to his neck forcing Louis to finally let go. He quickly moved his feet forward and turned to his back, gasping for air.He was met with a deafening blow from Louis that sent him falling to the ground with a loud thud. A kick at his waist, sent him groaning in pain, followed by a punch at his chest. Louis didn't give his stalker an opportunity to recover from his hits. He sent more to his face, venting his previous anger and discomfort that the man caused him.The man still lay on the ground, dazed and injured, when he felt Louis turn
Louis was already hitting one hundred kilometers per hour just to outrun the car that was tailing him from behind. His speed did not shake his stalker off his back, it followed him skillfully without crashing or puncturing his car. He then reduced his speed for his safety when he got to a much-crowded road.All his doubt at making sure he wasn't overreacting disappeared when the black car closed his distance on him. Louis tried straining his eyes to see who was driving, but the car was so tinted that he couldn't see anything inside.“Who could possibly send a hitman after my life?” His head ran wild with thoughts as he tried to think about what to do. He suspected James but it could not add up because he was busy making sure he wouldn't end up in poverty.“Could it be one of these companies trying their best to take me out? Come on! Think” Louis was out of the thought of people that could want to have him dealt with.He kept driving with his keen senses looking for a way to confuse hi
Louis woke up to a beautiful morning that was clouded with mist. The weather made him think about his family, and his mood shifted to a sour, hateful feeling; it always happened whenever the thought of his family, The Hart's, crossed his mind. His guts fell sick, and he remained short-tempered throughout the day.He hated them all, especially Zick, his stepbrother, for giving in to their jealousy and taking it out on him. That anger in him got to a point that he decided to meet them and show them how successful he was without them. His decision was permanent and he planned on going there with enough proof to show them.“What if they think you came for their validation?” The thought crossed his mind after promising himself. He began having second thoughts about going, they filled his head like air in a balloon.“I don't even want to see my cousins, they are all bunch of insecure weirdos with no care except when it comes to inheritance and wealth,” He walked around in his living room w
She moved her hands slowly to her bag, pretending to find her ID card. She smiled at the policeman, who stood upright with both of his hands by his side, waiting for her to bring it out. Her legs vibrated uncontrollably, and she placed her bags on them to stop.“Here it is” Annabelle smiled even wider as she handed him the ID card. She could feel her stomach growl in fright for her life.Her hands held her ID with so much force that she couldn't let it go. It was like she tried stalling the police from asking her if they could search her car.The policeman held the card and immediately gulped his saliva in a slightly loud manner. He was dumbfounded at what he saw.“Good afternoon, ma,” He greeted again, this time bowing his head to show respect.Annabelle nodded with a smile and immediately remembered who she was married to. Her husband, Lord Kelly, was one of the wealthiest men, and his name alone demanded respect from anybody. She realized that the policeman recognized her by her na
Annabelle felt like keeping a safe distance but she was drawn to him by his words. She had no choice but to go closer.“Tell me, are you the reason why the police got the whole area surrounded?” she asked, softly, dropping her bag on top of her car to concentrate on him.Don hesitated to tell her the truth but decided to because it wasn't looking good for him. “I don't tell people about my business but I don't see the need to hide it and your presence alone is forcing me to reveal everything, so I'll just come clean to you” Annabelle's gut blew up in exhilaration. She loved every bit of compliments Don gave her, even though Don wasn't aware of what his words were doing to her.“I'm a gangster, and I do anything to survive. I once killed a man and my involvement in drug activities has the police looking for me,” Don revealed before he paused to look at her reaction.He was surprised to see that she didn't flinch a bit in shock. He blinked profusely to check if his eyes were deceiving
The meeting went smoothly, better than what Queen expected. Though she stood at a corner, upright and frozen, with her eyes shifting focus from her iPad to the men who sat with Louis, they were done with the meeting in no time.Louis did all the work while she took tabs. These investors were large, wealthy people who looked for very successful companies to be a part of, and Louis did not just accept anyone who came for a business deal. He made it his job to find out if they have the interest of the company at heart.The ominous feeling he had earlier, which made him feel uneasy and worried, departed from him. He concluded that whatever plan they had for him, he was ready to take them on. Meanwhile, Annabelle walked aimlessly around her room with her phone in her hands, she appeared to be angry and dissatisfied. She struggled to tame her rage from shouting at the top of her voice at random.She held her phone close to her face, waiting for the person she called to pick up. Her forced
It turned out that Chris was part of a group that consisted of huge company owners twice bigger than that of Louis' Twin Tower. They all decided to band up and throw anyone who they felt was a threat to them.They were very lethal and a tough enemy to go up against. Most of them, like Chris, appeared casual to make you feel like they were not powerful company but it was only a disguise to watch others without blowing cover.These people who owned large companies believed Louis to be the owner of the Twin Tower company, and it didn't sit well with them. They planned to tail him but were left entertained at the constant embarrassment he faced at the hands of James, but after the series of events that resulted in the elimination of James Roulette, their radars became as active as ever.Chris was formerly sent to see if he was worth targeting but came back with his observation only to be sent again to Louis for answers.“What do you mean?” A deep voice said while the room brightened a lit
