She backed up a bit, uncomfortably itching her neck. Raul's left hand was still open for her but the man's grouchy attitude fought against his assurance.

“Raul,” she whispered, pointing to the room “it's dark. What if he's…” she inclined her head to let her husband complete her statement.

“Hey, look at how short he is, do you think he could be able to keep us captive for any of the security,” Raul assured her.

The man didn't take their trolling lightly. He placed his hands on the door, threatening to shut it if she didn't decide in four seconds. The four fingers he held up made Raul think of him as a garden gnome except for their caps; he bit his lips hard to hold back a chuckle.

She made her choice and threw her fear aside as she held Raul's hand and hopped in. The door shut closed along with their eyes as they could see nothing in the peak darkness of the room.

The man strolled around like he dwelt in the dark domain, and with the click of a switch, the room transformed luminous. Th

    “You've seen enough,” the man jibed at them “The transfer or I cancel your name,” he threatened.“Okay, we'll send the money to you,” Raul signaled to Jessica to wear a smile, but Jessica's shining teeth ruled her face.In less than a minute, they transferred the money to him and waited for his confirmation. After two minutes of anticipation, his phone chimed with a notification. The transfer was successful, he handed them their tags.“Here you go,” he said “Remember, I never met any of you,” “I don't want this scene stamped in my brain, so don't worry, our lips are sealed,” Jessica replied to the man as she stuffed the tags into her purse.“It's nice doing business with you,” Raul said, extending his hand for a handshake. His timid smile seemed forced like it was just a gesture he felt obligated to do.“Forgot about the formalities. I mean what I'm saying, I never want to hear of this again,” the man warned.Raul sighed and dropped his hands, looking at Jessica for her reaction.“H

    “Mmm, I don't know. Take a guess,” Jessica teased him.“You know I never guess anything right. Can you just spill it out?”“No,” she replied, shaking her head, the tip of her tongue dangling on her lips to heighten his curiosity.She looked at the handsome man and sighed with a smile, her eyes falling into his alluring build.“What is that for?” Raul asked, his temper getting heated at her gaze.“Calm yourself down, it's nothing,” Jessica assured him, caressing his chest with a soft massage “It's only nice I respect our second potential partner,”Raul flinched at the word as his head processed a thousand thoughts in just a split second. What did she mean by partner? Who was going to be the first ‘partner’? His mouth started to water, which he gulped down as quickly as they gathered.“Jessica,” Raul whispered, unsure if it was the right time to ask her what she thought of the man. The whisper was unheard by her. She continued staring while her hands massaged his chest until she came t

    He looked at the card with dreaded eyes, biting his lips as personified hate seeped through them.“Jessica, I know this is from the goodwill of your heart but I got this under control. I don't need any stranger, meddling in our relationship,” he muttered to himself.He looked at the number in the card and snarled at it. He dipped his hands into his left back pocket and brought out his phone “No not this one,” He checked the right pocket, and with a weird smirk, he brought out Jessica's phone, which he had stolen from her when she hugged him. He tried a first pin to unlock her phone but it vibrated with an error.“I forgot she changed it,” Raul muttered.He tried a second pin, and to his delight, the phone buzzed open. He stared at Jessica, who engaged in a discussion with the security guards, flaunting her tags at them. With his confirmation, he went through all her messages and notifications, deleting some that he felt were a little unofficial to be on her phone.He left no apps unt

    The addition of recruits never sat well with him because they never aided to his benefit; rather, they were most loud in voicing out their rude opinion when they failed. “This is the freaking reason I met those two hellcats,” he turned off his phone and tossed it aside in frustration.“Who would have told me this competition comes with a lot of drama? I'm sure I wouldn't believe them,” He went back to the video he was watching and plugged in his earpiece. With a lot of digging and a handsome pay, he was able to retrieve videos from the spy's broken camera. He couldn't stop his curiosity from trying to find out at least one member of the secret league or the person who sent a spy against him.The video was of low quality except from the last video he had taped. He watched countless tapes of himself taken unaware of him and they were from a distance. Most were side profiles of his face, and somewhere of him driving out of the college or in a discussion with another person.“I got to g

    “Fine and dandy, master,” she replied. “But what are you going to do now? You told me a new test is due tomorrow,”Louis smiled and arched his lips, indicating with a finger to the laptop on his table“I will go tomorrow, After all, I got sufficient data concerning my safety. That would suffice for now,”Queen grunted and looked away quickly, her face showing a repressed look of disapproval in her face.“Did I say something wrong?”“No master, not at all,” She swiftly replied “I just think it's not going to be enough this time,”Louis curled an eyebrow at her statement, pursuing his lips to control his thoughts.“Queen,” he snickered after a long trial of patience “How do you mean not enough?” He asked, staring directly at her.“Pardon me if I list them out. You have a competition to tackle, an identity to keep secret,” she used her fingers to number her points “Two companies to run, you also have to defend and scatter a secret league that would no doubt contain big forces,” she stopp

    The parking lot groomed busy with lots of activity. As many cars flooded into the company college, they flashed their lights, making an unnecessary show of worth and quality. Amidst the obvious showoff that slowly mutated into chaos, Louis walked out from the crowd, his self-assured walk, a vivid contrast to the others.He walked into the building, his eyes scanning the hall with curiosity and grit. It was filled, and like he had feared, there were a few new faces. The fluorescent lights and the mild chatter of strangers enveloped him; it was now an aesthetic of the hall whenever he entered. He made his way deeper into the hall. Rumors were usually carried by their muttering voices and they were usually proven right.As he continued walking, he felt a sense of dark humor course through him. The contestants had good faith and high dreams of coming in as the greatest; most of the absurd jokes were from fresh recruits and rivals who had not been met by other top CEOs with strangling gr

    Another member of the Billionaire's Club union was present in the game, and to worsen it all, Louis already had a series of conversations with him.”I hope I make it past this week without being seen,” Louis prayedHe hung around his new location, impatient for the next test to be revealed. In a feat of utter unrest, he scanned around him to check if he was at a safe distance away from any familiar faces. His tensed nerve from seeing Greg took a straight decline when he saw two other faces that he had resolved never to talk to.His ex-best friend, Raul, and his ex-girlfriend, Jessica. They stood in a separate space away from the crowd, their faces in an immersive conversation with a stranger. The air around them sparked with interest, as their mouths tattered without stop.“You must be kidding me,” Louis exclaimed in frustration. His hands clutched at their sight, transforming his worry into annoyance. He did not avoid Greg only to be greeted by an unwanted sceneLouis' eyes widened w

    He needed an escape from the toxic atmosphere that clung onto Raul and Jessica like a bad smell.With nothing but an assumption that he was on a road track, Louis quickened his pace, his heart beating irregularly. “A break would be very much appreciated,” Louis whispered. He couldn't wait to get out of there, to leave them to their scornful laughter.He was quite a distance away from them, a few seconds from breathing a relieved sigh when he heard the echo of his name in Raul's voice. His face sulked at the echo, causing his legs to lose motion. “Wait up,” Raul said; he sounded serious, much to his surprise.They caught up to Louis who didn't move a muscle. Raul stood in his front and Jessica beside him, a meter away from his shoulder.“What do you want from me again,” Louis tilted his neck, exuding suspicion with his narrowed eyes “Please hurry up,” his voice firm and stern“All Jokes aside,” Raul's tone became ominous but it only made Louis question his time with them. Did they th

    “I thought so,” Louis said “I don't really know anything about your company, care to enlighten me?” “With all pleasure sir,” he said and proceeded to explain to him the needed information. The man had not been involved in any public controversy since his come up and he wasn't a fresh recruit in the game. He was among the survivors of the heavy tests who made it out with a lot of hits on the face and a low score. He explained that he was in need of a successful collaboration or a deal, one that would boost him to a good spot in the rank.“I might sound desperate but that is what I actually want right now,” he revealed “If I score very low again or submit a lacklustre result then I fear I may be eliminated,”“Hmm,” Louis sighed as he listened to his plea “But you have never failed any test, so why are you afraid of being eliminated,” he asked“I was unaware of a rule in the competition until yesterday,” the man replied.Louis' ear stood awake, his eyes bulging as his brows raised upw

    “I don't understand, what's wrong?” the man asked “Are you angry at me because my company exploded?”Louis snarled at him and receded his steps again, causing the man to confuse Louis’ gesture as fright. He knuckled his fist like he was about to take advantage of the misread fear.“You don't have the right to judge me because we have different principles,”“Principles,” Louis fired back “this has nothing to do with principles, and I shouldn't give my reasons to anybody If I feel like not working with them,”The man hissed and scanned Louis from head to toe “Maybe, the scores you have in the competition must have been gassing your head up. Do you think you can survive this round without collaborating?” the man asked, growling like he was about to pounce on Louis.Since the man confused Louis who was trying to be the bigger person in the situation, for a frightened kid, Louis did not take any step away from him, he saw the energy he was given and wanted to perfectly match it. He smiled

    He marched in to start his new found goal.The chattering of the hall was unexplainable. He could hear the noises of the contestants but the hall stayed silent. It was like the people talked with no sounds from their mouth.He looked around, scanning for where he would perch to access his target. They had to be potential bosses with a familiar look on their faces. A middle class company or even a bigger one would be the perfect fit to ask.As he was watching, he got distracted by two random men who engaged in a heated argument of who brought an idea first. To Louis, they wanted to heat up the argument to catch others' attention but sincerely, if you weren't Chris or a big company owner, then nobody would give a shit about what was going on with you.It went on and on until one of them decided to back down. Their scuffle was not enough to buy the attention of their fellow competitors. Louis laughed lightly at their childish display, knowing they were wrong at announcing their plans to

    It left Louis thinking he had struck a nerve in him or snapped him back to his old self. Either way, Louis was not comfortable with the expression Greg had on his face. He coughed lightly and looked at the floor.“What is there to play safe?” Greg replied, his tone deep and authoritative “I already won the case and his company is already in the lurch.”“No, what I meant to say is, are you ready to put yourself in another scandal?” He glanced at the door and tilted his neck back to him “A cheating scandal with another CEO is pretty controversial,”“The public is not going to tell me what to do. I will do whatever makes me happy and I'll answer to no one,” Greg declared.Louis' face twitched, a testament that he was not in support with his statement. He swallowed his saliva and ruffled his hair.“I have no business with whatever you want, but I don't like the idea of using our alliance as a means to get closer to her,”“It goes against everything I planned for this to be. You will defin

    Louis' eyes almost bulged out of his eye sockets, his hands tweaked In disgust as his feet vibrated to move away from his position. “Nobody told me Greg was this insensible,” Louis muttered to himself. He couldn't believe the words that just slipped out of his mouth; they were shards of glasses that were waiting to be stepped upon.“Greg,” Louis called out confidently “Please, I want you to understand that I am not forcing anybody to work with me,” he stared intently at him.“What I simply said is, as a new team I thought we would do the collaboration between ourselves. You know, to avoid indecision and make it easier for us as a team,”His words were like darts that launched straight into the scoreboard. It corrected Greg's notion but it wasn't sharp enough to make him utter an apology.“Okay, I've noted it,” Greg uttered, prompting more response from Louis.“This isn't what you should be knowing now, we are supposed to grasp this already,” Silence filled their atmosphere as shame

    “I'm guessing you are the third person of this group,” Mrs Kimberly continued “I am whatever you want me to be in this group. The second man, the third member,” Greg leaned close to her ears, but fixing his eyes on Louis “I can even be the master of this team,”She chuckled lightly, flashing her eyes at Louis “Can you call me when it's time for the ultimate showdown,”They kept laughing; Mrs Kimberly appeared to be having a good time with Greg while Greg enjoyed being close to her. Louis got tired of seeing them whisper words to each other. He furrowed his eyebrows and pretended to cough while pointing at the empty seats.“Kimberly, welcome.” Louis voiced “It's good to see you. I don't want to keep you both standing, so can we take a seat,”She exchanged glances at Greg and Louis before walking towards one of the chairs. Greg appeared to be displeased by Louis who sat between them. He signalled to Louis to scoot over to the left chair but the purpose of Louis forming the alliance was

    “So when can I get to meet my fellow ally,” she winked at him.“We will be having a meeting tomorrow. I don't know if you'd be available, but it is our first meeting, and it is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 10 am."Mrs Kimberly's eyes lit up with excitement as she nodded slowly. "I'll be there," she said. "Where are we going to have it?"Louis smiled confidently at her. "I have booked a room at the Drickons Hotel just a few blocks away.”Mrs Kimberly nodded. Her mind raced with the thoughts of who the last person was, but she stopped herself from asking Louis. Instead, she resolved to wait for an official introduction.Moreover, she already decided to look her best when the day comes."I will make sure I arrive before any of you,” she quipped, but her voice lingered with a hint of determination.Louis finished his conversation with her and waited for Mrs Kimberly to ask him any questions that bothered her but she had none for the moment.It was time Louis took his leave after comp

    “No, trust me. It is not because of that,” he revealed “Then what? I told you I would like to join, so why are you rejecting me?”“I'm not rejecting you. I just don't want to force you into anything,”“How is that forcing me? Did you plan to hold a gun against my head?” She asked, her voice dripping with sarcasm.Kimberly, with a blur of desperation in her eyes, leaned forward to Louis “I know you must have heard everything that came out of my mouth, but I am willing to make my first try with you,”He raised a brow at her, skeptical of her forced statement “Why would you do that? I told you already, you don't have to because I'm not forcing you,”Mrs Kimberly inhaled deeply and raised her shoulders “I have seen the huge things you can do as a CEO of a little company like yours. How you raised it to compete at this level, and I can boldly ask you how many of your peers can claim to reach the success you have in such a short time,”“You helped me get my treasured buildings back from th

    “She came begging me to collaborate with her,” Mrs Kimberly revealed “Just imagine the imp’s audacity,”Louis couldn't bring himself to tell her that he was here for the same reason. He could not believe that the person whom he had spent hours finding reasons not to add to his alliance hated them. And now it seems Louis needed her to control Greg's mouth.“What human being in their right mind would beg someone they tried to attack in the past? I could have smacked her teeth out but was busy pretending to be cool with her,”Mrs Kimberly rolled her eyes and pointed to the middle of the hall“There's more?” Louis asked, surprised at her decline. She hated alliances with all her bones in her body and she made sure to show Louis.“That man in a white suit,” she said.”Forget about his angelic act. That man is a demon and a lapdog to Chris,” She walked closer to Louis like she was about to whisper, “He came to me and pleaded I work with him, but I declined. I hope he fails this round of the
