An awkward silence ensued between Jessica and Raul as they failed to believe the words that seeped out of the mouth of Louis.

“This must be a joke,” Raul stuttered in unbelief. He gritted his teeth and twisted his lips in disgust.

They said revenge is a dish best served cold but Louis served his frozen. He made sure they were stiff to the core and unable to grasp whatever action that happened in an instant.

“Tell me you did not come all the way just to mock us with this offer?” Jessica said, her eyes ready to release another round of tears far greater than the ones before.

Louis quickly raised his hands in denial, shaking his head diligently as if he was about to debunk a claim

“No, no. That's not what it is,” he said, stamping his feet to the ground “Mocking is for beginners. I simply came to return your favor back to you. Feel free to interpret anyway you please,”

Jessica gave up acting tough in Louis' presence. She dropped to her knees, her hands on her face as she covered the sha

    “Crap!” A hoarse voice said, peering at its phone. “Not again. At this point, how am I going to survive?”Raul stood in front of a company, waiting in line to get interviewed. He was in search of a job as he had promised his wife. Though he had underestimated the stress of looking for a job, the constant denial in his application at several companies made him clarify his notion.No company wanted to hire him despite his mastery in his field of work. At first glance, they would give him a reassuring smile that meant he would get the job, but a second glance at his face and then his name, they would make awkward looks that threatened his optimism.“It's nice seeing you in person, we will reach out to you when we make our decision. Have a nice day,” Those were the last words the employers would say to him before they sent him a message, denying his application five minutes later. A clear signal that none of them wanted anything to do with a public ridicule like him.Raul would have give

    “How can you say that?” Raul shouted. His eyes mirrored the terror he was about to face if Jessica made good on her words.“Am I not a human like you. I know my qualifications and I should be able to voice out my feelings when I feel like I'm getting cheated,” he thundered.Jessica laughed and jammed her hands together in mockery of him “I applaud such an awe-inspiring speech. Maybe you should stop searching for a job and be a life coach, because that's what I'm getting from you,” her voice echoed sarcasm around it.“Raul Simpson, Nobody cares about your qualifications. What I want from you is for you to provide food on our table. So if you are going to be a bitch about it, then hurry up and tell me. I can't endure suffering with you,” The words rang in his ears like a church bell calling for morning mass. That wasn't a joke and she meant every bit of it.“Do you want us to become cleaners?” He asked “I don't care. The question you should be asking is how is their pay,” she replied

    The workers at Raul's back tried to hold him from falling but he quickly stood on his feet, grappling his chest for air. “This is a mirage. No a lookalike, maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me,” Raul mumbled. He could not believe his sight, not even a thousand years of staring into the face of Louis would make him believe that Louis was also the mystery owner of Twin Tower company.Jessica shook her head, her brows began to wrinkle in fear and disappointment. She turned to Raul to confirm if she was the only one that saw Louis but Raul's pale skin, the depressed face he made, and his gasps for breath proved that he saw the same thing.She stared back at Louis and the assistant by his corner, her disappointed frown worsened as she wrapped her arms around her stomach. She felt a cold sensation wash down her body, sending shivers to her spine. Her legs felt too weak to hold her own weight and the noise of the people were bombs that dealt with her ears.“God, this must be a dream,” she

    “Okay. Just wanted to confirm,” Louis said with a warm smile. He turned back to Raul and the warm smile disappeared like a candlelight blown away by a mouth full of breath.His face gave way to a dead cold expression, his shadow inexplicably turned deadly as it rested on the legs of Raul. The room could feel the terrifying aura that covered Louis.Something was coming and it was going to be a lethal blow towards them. Raul could feel it in his bones and Jessica had somehow seen a blink of the future. “I wish I had listened to myself and walked out while I still had a chance?” Raul prayed to his maker.“How dare you?” Louis' deep voice sent tremors to the room, his wicked glare seared off the dumb confidence that coated the stupid couple.“You must think I came here to play. Trust me I'll make sure this is your last time seeing me,” Louis threatened.He took a step forward and Raul took two backward. As Louis drew closer to him, he hurried to the back until he was a few inches to the

    Raul raced in, begging her to stop her madness. He made endless promises to Jessica, swearing to set them back to the rich status they once were in but Jessica's ear had transformed into a brick wall. His promises fell flat to her.“Don't stop me from doing this. I have already concluded in my mind,” she stated, dragging a huge box out of the house.“Concluded? When did you do that? Remember our marital vows to each other” Raul continued.“What do my vows have to do with this? I don't want this marriage and my stupid vows can't stop me from taking a decision,” she fired at him.“Look if you ever decide to get rich again you know my number, besides you already hacked into my accounts already” she said Raul gasped in fear as she revealed his secret to him. How she got to know was a mystery to him but that wasn't his priority now.“What, Raul?” She clenched her right fist and gnashed her teeth, “You thought I wouldn't know that you were keeping tabs on the people I associate with.

    The curiosity of Greg and Louis heightened as they drew their back closer to the middle.“What is it?” Louis whispered, staring straight at her.“The secret league only needs one big blow at them to send them crumbling to the ground” she said “If you can manage to deliver a massive hit then you are sure to come out victorious,”Greg nodded his head and tapped Louis “They emptied all their ideas on us, trying to kick us out when we blocked most of their attacks at you,”Louis listened with attention. That meant the game was soon coming to an end and if they managed to kick Louis out, it would mean the end.“What do you suggest I do?” He asked, squeezing his left fist “How can I get revenge for the both of you?”Greg and Kimberly looked at each other before Greg spoke up “Nothing.” He stated “What you need is a break from the college,”An awkward silence ensued as the answer failed to sit well with Louis. He subtly bowed his head and frowned at their response.How could they tell him to

    “What is it with the people of my past?” Louis complained in a soft whisper. “Can't they leave me alone,”He banged his fists at the table and stared at Queen with a tired look.“What does she want? I thought I made it clear to her that I don't want to see her face,” Queen covered her mouth and cleared her throat ”She claims she has something to tell you, but I have sent her back previous times. She keeps persisting regardless,” Louis dabbed his forehead with a handkerchief and let out a frustrated sigh, “Alright, let her in. Let me hear what she has to say,”“O…okay,” Queen's reply was uncertain but she walked out of his office to bring her in.In four minutes, his door chimed open with a slim, malnourished woman whose neck bones looked like they were about to fall out of her skin. Her cheeks were dry and her lips needed moisture, The flesh on her body was lean and took a striking resemblance to her skeleton.The lady took four steps into his office and Louis felt like reducing the

    If Chris was going to be thrown out with nothing, it would have been better for him, but the worst was yet to come. As he got closer to the door, the sound of a police siren rang aloud in his ears.It was time for him to spend his old age in prison. “No, let me go. I'm too rich to go to jail,” Chris struggled, letting out a devastated cry “Please somebody stop them,” he begged, but it was too late to ask for sympathy.“It can't end this way, please. I'll die the first second I get to jail. They'll kill me. Do you know the number of people waiting for me there,” Chris continued, screaming his lungs out.The people laughed as Chris was escorted to the police. His screams fell short in Louis' ear and Mrs Kimberly couldn't bear but feel satisfied at the fate that Chris was met with.“Finally, I get to see him pay for all the crimes he did to me and others alike ,” She said with teary eyes. “Karma really took her time to take a jab at him,” “I won't lie, it sure does look good to see him

    Everyone's attention shifted to the center of the hall. They gaped around as their heart panicked Who was going to be eliminated next? Who was going to win the game? Worst, what would happen to those who stood the test of time till the finals of the competition? Were they going to be compensated or left with nothing while they celebrated the victor? These questions were audible in their head. They couldn't find an answer as to what was going to happen next. “It's time for the results,” Chris shouted, acting like he had gone crazy. “If you stupid panel members have any ounce of respect left for me, you'd make it right and call me the winner,” He brushed past everyone and stood at the center of the hall, beating his chest with force “I made this game what it is today, very competitive. I deserve some credits for lasting long in this competition,”In a feat of rage, he forcefully grabbed a member of his secret league by the collar and dragged him to the center.“Look at all these peo

    “It's all Raul's fault. I was afraid to tell you but I have gathered up courage to tell you the truth,” Jessica continued.She got very close to him and placed her left hand on his shoulder with a seductive eye staring right at him.“You know how I used to make you happy, how I made you feel like a man and brave enough to strive for success,” She placed her finger on her lips and winked at him “I can do that again. I can make you happy again. Let's both forget about what Raul destroyed and make peace again,”Louis gave her cold look, threatening her to remove her hand from his shoulder but she latched on like a seat back on an airplane.“Get your filthy hands off me before I do it myself and trust me, you are not going to like it,” Louis threatened.“Come on Louis,” She said, placing her right hand on his other shoulder like she wanted to embrace him. “Try to understand me, Raul is our enemy and we must join hands to eliminate….”A muscular guard picked up Jessica from her waist away

    “Low Props, Master,” Queen uttered, knowing Louis was lost in his thoughts.“What's happening to it?” Louis asked, a tad bit disinterested on the topic.“Hello,” she waved her hands. “You just revealed you are the CEO of Twin Tower company, of course Low Props' hotline is going to be buzzing with calls,” she said.Louis nodded and raised a brow at her statement. “What's that got to do with me?” He asked.Queen exhaled loudly, trying to hold back her surprised expression “You told me you'd want to go to Low Props after your reveal,” She said, her tone loud and assertive.“Oh… that. Well, there's a change of plans. I got something better to do,” Louis stated, looking at his watch “The college will send a notification anytime soon and I'd like to be present,”Queen ruffled her hair and adjusted her skirt while looking down at her feet “How do you know that? I don't think it will be safe enough to go there at this moment,” she raised her head and pointed to a replay of Louis' reveal ”The

    “Hello sir, twelve branches of your company have been shut down globally,” his secretary reported through a phone call. She was too scared to meet with her boss physically.Chris, with a heavy sigh, ended the call in depression. He decided to stay at home and wail in his sudden downfall. Most of the few remaining members of the secret league had quit their membership in the league, all in the aim of cutting off any relationship with Chris.The fake leader he had hired to act as the leader of the secret league was nowhere to be seen. He was just a few hours from hitting rock bottom while his name was being trash talked throughout the globe. “At this point I might as well give up the ghost, coz I have nothing left to fight for,” Chris wept silently. He stayed in his house for hours doing nothing but cry and stare into the abyss of emptiness.At the strike of twelve, his phone beeped with the notification of a Livestream from the world's biggest news channel. They claimed to have a big

    “You tricked me, you bastard,” Chris yelled, punching his table in anger.“No, I outsmarted you,” Louis continued laughing, unfazed by the tremor in Chris' voice “What were you thinking I was going to do? Sit by and watch you drown me in problems,” he said in a sarcastic tone.“You worthless fool, better watch your back because I promise, you will pay for this,” Chris replied.Louis put his phone on loudspeaker and placed it on top of his table. He then proceeded to cross his arms and snicker at the weak threat Chris made towards him.“I wonder if you have paid for the crimes you have committed,” Louis calmly said “You know, the ones you do behind the scenes and pay people to cover it up,”Chris gnashed his teeth and looked at his watch. With a gruff and rushed voice, he yelled “What do you mean by that? Do you have any evidence against me, you stupid fool?” “Chill, chill. I got time for you okay.” Louis said in a scornful voice. He ruffled his hair and exhaled lightly “The bribes yo

    The headline wasn't celebratory nor was it informative; It was a blasphemy to Chris. What he saw on his television screen made him stand up from his cushion and gasp in fright.“CHRIS, A FALSE HERO TO SOCIETY IS EXPOSED FOR THE TYRANT HE IS AND ALWAYS WAS,” The headline read along with the ugliest reporter Chris had ever thrown words at in his sitting room.He walked closer to his television, feeling threatened by the news they aired.“What is wrong with these people, have they forgotten who I am,” Chris blurted out with his hands on his head. He began breathing heavily as he felt the urge to hold the reporter by her throat and strangle the life out of her. His chest became bloated with held back emotions of the news. He wasn't trying to find out why they labeled him as a tyrant but was bent on making the editor pay for picking a fight with him.The crimes he had committed behind the curtains without justice giving him a piece of her blades had left him feeling too big to be called o

    The next thing Chris was greeted with after a day's work was a lawsuit, perfectly laid on his table and waiting to draw his attention. As Chris slipped into his office to catch a break from plotting nonstop about his final plan to end Louis, he saw it lying on his table.There it was looking at him and he in turn was staring at it. He drew close to his chair, his chest slowly pounding as he managed to sit. He dropped his walking cane on the floor and placed his hands on the table, trying to calm his disrupted nerves from causing a rampage.“My secretary didn't tell me there was mail for me,” he said, touching the envelope with a finger which he quickly withdrew after the envelope moved from the force of his hands.“It's light, what could it be,” he muttered. He tried to call his secretary but hesitated, thinking it was too trivial of a situation to yell at her.With a swift move of his right palm, he grabbed the envelope and ripped the seal off. As he brought out the document his eyes

    Chris made a dubious smirk as he strolled towards Louis' direction. His face turned menacing as he smiled callously with a glare but that was ineffective to a boiling Louis.“I am tempted to believe you are following me,” Chris continued. “Coz, why am I seeing you in such an awful state,” He laughed in scorn.“You are really senile to think I'm in an awful position,” Louis fired back.“With those rusty, tired face of yours, of course it safe to say that we have been giving you more than you can handle,” Chris instantly replied with a sneer. “How's your teammates? I heard they were terminated,” He laughed and cleaned the tip of his walking cane “That's a gift from the league, I hope they liked it?”“You old fool,” Louis flared up and rushed to attack him.“Please by all means, punch me, hit me. I need it right now, that would be a fast way to claim my victory,” Chris hollered with a smirk.Those words were truthful enough to chain Louis in a spot while his chest pounded heavily. A sli
