The envelope was laced with razor-shaped blades. It thrust deep into Louis’ fingers, causing him to yell in pain. The sight of his blood, dripping slowly to the floor enraged him.

What kind of sick human hides razors in an envelope slip, Louis thought. He locked in on his position, gearing to send James flying in the hair but stopped at second thought. James had all these planned; he noticed men in black suits and dark shades, subtly standing with alert senses.

Their physical build and standing posture gave them away to Louis. He knew they had been stationed to spring out and subdue him if he tried attacking.

He tried clasping his hands together but the pain didn't let him. His eyes caught a familiar name on the envelope. The thrilling delight of the men, muttering words in the delight of his hurt, made his blood boil.

“If you're wondering what's in the envelope, which you should” James laughed, staring at Louis.

“Are we gonna look past the blades you put in it or not” Louis fired,

    James was forced to kneel out of sudden depression, tears welled up in his eyes and he struggled to keep them from flowing. His hands clasped, begging for the news to be a deepfake. He lost control of his emotions and allowed his tears to rush down smoothly.There was already enough evidence to confirm that his company was no longer his but Twin Tower Company. “ How was this possible and I wasn't even aware?” James walled with a shaky voice as he crawled back to where he trashed the documents like a baby. He picked it up and read through it thoroughly a few times again, probably, looking for a loophole in the documents to hold onto. While James flipped the pages of the documents, Louis looked at him with sheer contempt, stating in his mind that James deserved every bit of the things happening to him.He thought of when to drop the next bombshell on his head but hesitated. It felt logical and reasonable for him to allow James to recover from his trance-like state before moving to pha

    The misfortune James faced after he made his attempt to attack Louis and humiliate him didn't go unnoticed, In Fact it made other owners tremble around Louis.It was a shock how James Roulette got eliminated in a short and disgraceful manner. Anyone with common sense would be careful with the battles they picked.Chris finally found the courage to meet Louis after days of avoiding him like wildfire. His tone became more lucid than that croaky voice that he may have been faking to appear harmless.Louis thought he knew his purpose for coming, but he liked the fact that he still had the boldness to meet with him. He was about to leave the building when he stopped at the call of Chris.“Leaving so soon,” Chris called out, slowly coming closer with a frail walk.“Yeah, since the last elimination, everywhere has been so quiet lately, and people are kind of avoiding trouble for quite a while,” Louis explained with an indifferent look on his face.“Why do you think that is?”Louis shrugged a

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
