“Dad, great timing. It's Louis; he decided to show up today,” Gavin reported. He was the eldest of the cousins that stood there in the room, and with his father's presence, the head of the family, all the boldness they seemingly lacked at facing Louis crept back to them.

“Louis, so you've decided to show yourself today, after fighting hard to work your way to the top without reaching out. Now you have come back after all this while, I can't say I'm surprised” Louis' uncle spoke with utter scorn in his face. His two sons, Gavin and Kent giggled as they walked to their father's side.

His uncle noticed a change in Louis, but he never imagined he had made it big as a successful CEO; he just assumed Louis' hands stumbled on some quick cash, and he decided to show it off.

“Mr Hank,” Louis began, making it clear that he wasn't here to feed their ego. The annoyance of his uncle for calling him by his name did not trouble him at all

    “Hurry up and disclose it, if that's going to send the right message to your thick skulls, then I'm down for it. Don't tell me you're scared?” Louis said, his expression demanding Hank to quickly let the cat out of the bag, because his delay in speaking up only made him furious to pull out his voice box.Regardless, Hank looked unbothered by his nephew's ongoing impatience, he took every Little opportunity to use the blank spaces as an advantage against Louis. Already, he had placed Louis in a sticky situation, where if he walked out on them, they would consider him a liar and afraid of owning up to his words and if he decided to undergo the test, they would make it miserable for him to overcome.“Scared!” Hank laughed after he glowered at him “Louis, there's no need for me to be afraid. If at all, You should be the one. And I suggest you should just come clean about yourself before you suffer the shame of first hand embarrassment. Trust me, it's going to be ugly,” he replied after a

    Gavin looked very displeased at the door that was slammed on their faces; he stormed furiously to the door with his blood steaming with fury, his mouth already filled with complaints, but his father beckoned for him to return. Though the last statement of Louis troubled Hank, he remained rooted in his belief that Louis was going to fumble at the impossibility of the tests.He swore to make sure his nephew had a hard time figuring out the first test. He looked at both of his sons and he could easily see the slight worried look on their face. Their eyes wandered endlessly from side to side while their mouths tweaked in a futile attempt to hide their doubts about the task. He had to remind them about the history of the tests to calm their minds.“How many days do you think it's going to take him to wail back in shame?” Hank asked to boost their confidence but their stifled voices disappointed him.“I don't know, he seems pretty confident, and I think he has a trick up his sleeves,” Zick

    Before he could finish his statement, the lady rolled her eyes at him and continued clicking on her computer. She made a face that seemed to suggest that she did not want any sort of disturbance, but Louis tapped her table with his finger, trying to keep on his faint smile.“I said I have an appointment” “I heard you. Can't you wait a few seconds?” the receptionist rudely answered, a few pitches away from shouting at him. As she returned her attention to her computer, she quietly muttered some words that Louis could partially understand, or he thought he did. “Yet another leech trying to crawl its way into a fountain. They never succeed anyway, but I wonder why they keep trying?”He didn't know if those were her exact words but he was sure she complained and viewed other people who wished to join as leeches. If only she knew who was standing across from her. Louis took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, watching her as she got busy with an austere look on her face. It made Louis wonde

    Their eyes shot arrows at him and none of them missed a target. It made Louis wish he reconsidered cutting them short, but they were being too loud and would have gone on for hours if he had done nothing.“And who the hell are you?” The woman asked, frowning at him. “Speak up, since you don't know when important matters are being discussed.“Important?” Louis questioned in his head; that didn't sound important in any way; more like she was upset that he cut their fun for them. He started loathing the fact that he began on the wrong track.“My name is Louis, I'm supposed to have an interview here” They kept looking at him, expecting more information, but Louis kept silent, thinking he had said too much.“So we are supposed to know every Louis that steps in here for an interview,” the woman thundered “If you are one of those loser companies wasting my time, I'll make sure you pay dearly,” the man who made them laugh, threatened with a death stare on his face.One of the men came to Lo

    “I think that's a wrap. Now, can we go back to our previous conversation?” the old man hurriedly said, taking a whiff of his cigar. Everyone except Greg and Louis nodded in unison, smiling gleefully as they couldn't wait to get back to whatever made them so engrossed.Their excitement quickly died down when Louis raised his hand upright with his lips pressed together, showing he did not like being the wet blanket in their midst but it was important to him. They all sighed, making tired faces at him while thinking about what could be so hard for him to understand.“I’ll answer all your questions privately,” Greg jumped in; his reason for it was unknown, but Louis swallowed his words from coming out and looked around awkwardly, tired of the shady actions that took place. He watched them fade into their chattering before a worker ushered him to another room to get his handprints and other vital information. The room was a little smaller than the other one, but with a white background and

    Louis believed he heard every word right, they echoed in his brain, making a resonating budge to shift back a few steps, at least to fully access who stood at his front with an innocent look. Greg stood, staring intently at him, patiently waiting for an answer. All of a sudden, his shadow looked threatening to Louis; his upright pose seemed ingenuine, and if he had moved his mouth, Louis would have sworn he laughed like a demon with scathing teeth.“You need my help for what? I didn't quite get the last statement,” Louis inquired, anticipating to hear him change the word out of guilt but Greg stood ten toes down at what he formerly said.“I need your help to eliminate a rival company for me,”An urge to ruffle the hair on his head gripped Louis, and he began to itch his head slowly, thinking of the best response to give him.“That's straight to the point, but I'm sorry I can't help you. I try my best to mind my business and stay out of others,” Louis stated, unsure of what was the bes

    Taking down a company with solid evidence was too big of a deal to settle for only a black card VIP status, he had to aim higher. He wasn't sure how far it was going to take him but he had to try.“I did have my interest in acquiring the black card, but I don't think it will be easy the way you claim it to be” “I heard that I'd have to stay for at least five years, and I just got in, what? Few hours ago” Louis added. He did his best to not appear moved by the offer.“Leave that to me; I can make it work,” Greg beat his chest, promising easy access to it, “ my impact in this Union has made me respectable here; I'm sure they would pull some strings for me. Besides my relation with the government, brings them all closer to me” “I'm sorry, did you say government?” Louis asked, pondering what he meant by relation. Could he be killing two birds with just a stone, or his head was being filled with delusions? “I got close ties with the president, so some of them leech on me, just for the t

    She had no business uttering that name from her mouth; it could have been a coincidence, but that didn't stop Louis from walking up to her. The terror on her face spoke words of fright for her. It was her sane mentality that stopped her running out of her chair, she quickly got on her knees to beg him to keep her job.She made sure her head touched the floor, as she let out the tears from her eyes, crying out for him to forgive her. She kept weeping uncontrollably, giving Louis no chance to speak at all. Every attempt by Louis to speak was met with a greater intensity of tears flowing down her cheeks. He was forced to yell at her before she kept her mouth shut with occasional sniffing of her nose.“You mentioned a name familiar to me, who called you a few seconds ago?” Louis asked with a commanding tone.The receptionist lifted her face and dried the tears from her eyes, paying attention to Louis to repeat his question one more time.“Who phoned you just now?” Louis inquired “A man,”

    “Look who decided to show up after making us wait an eternity for him,” A woman thundered, immediately Chris stepped into the secret room for their meeting.“What happened? Were you applying makeup and forgot you have a room full of important people to address!” She continued.“It's okay, do it like you rehearsed,” Chris muttered to himself, taking a deep breath. He stared in the direction where she sat.“I see you have grown wings to talk to me that way.” He thundered back “Mind you, don't for a second who I am in this competition,”“Oh please, cut the shit,” A man lashed out. “If you are who you claim to be then a young man shouldn't be running laps around you,” Chris clenched his left hand in anger. His mouth seethed at the harsh remark of his member.“I see you are getting bold…” “Nobody is getting confidence,” Another man interrupted Chris ”You don't have the capability to handle a challenge, so why should I respect you?”“Enough!” The leader of the secret league yelled.

    Greg faked a cough and smiled instantly “You know it would take more than a fair fight to kick us out,” he boasted.“You are right, but I recalled you had a pretty low score at the last game,” Louis stated, raising an eyebrow “What happened to your collaboration?”Greg's face turned sullen immediately. The statement made him feel ashamed of speaking to Louis after declining to work with him.“Man, I didn't really expect I'd get a low score. My ideas were creative enough to get me to the top but my partner’s delivery was lackluster and genuinely, I found out he hated my guts,”“What?” Mrs Kimberly interrupted “Yeah. Please don't act so surprised. I should have known this already. He is a stranger and I have never worked with him before, I wonder what made me think it would work out,”“I'm sorry about that,” Louis uttered “Me too,” Mrs Kimberly added, clasping her hands below her waist.“But today is not about me, so can we keep the spotlight on Louis?

    The results were going to be revealed the next day and the attacks would finally stop; the message specified that if any contestant persisted with attacks against anyone, they would terminate them and follow up with legal actions.He heaved a sigh and covered the laptop that he felt like smashing to the ground. “Finally, it is over,” He declared “Finally!” Louis banged on his table in excitement as he read through the message, taking numerous screenshots of the message. He stood the test of time till the final cut and now he could have time to breathe without chasing a tail down the hole.The competitors were going to feel stupid after throwing everything at Louis, only to witness him remain on top. He was sure they were going to question his intelligence or try to make him feel sad about his win but that depended on if he let them have his way.However, in opposition to his imagination on the day of announcement, the people that flooded the college looked weary and ready to move on

    The station still aired fake news about the auction of his company. The worst that could happen to Louis was encountering traffic on the way while his secretary swamped him with calls of false buyers and government agencies.“Shit! Shit!” Louis punched his wheels as he honked at the cars before him to move. Time wasn't on his side nor were the competitors who attacked him through different means.“Fighting me won't get you any points,” Louis stated, venting out on his steering wheel. The lawsuits, the price inflation and the fake news all happened in a span of three hours, making him think the other contestants had an idea of what the next round was going to be.Luck decided to shine its light on Louis by paving a free path on the road after making him wait half an hour in traffic.His anger welled up to the brim when he finally got to the channel office. He raised hell on the manager of the station, threatening to sue him and take all the property tied to their name. His presence alo

    To her expected surprise, he ripped it into pieces and wished he had a lighter with him to burn the shreds to ashes.“My results have them so mad and angry that they want to gang up on me in this round,” he said aloud, kicking at his table.The secretary grimaced her face and quietly left the office. Louis watched his door slam shut before his television caught his attention. His bright mood was already ruined by the game of fair fight and he wanted something to distract him.He used his remote to switch on the television and the first channel to pop up on his screen was a news channel. It was no myth to him that the news was not a good way to conjure up a smile. He tried to change the channel but the mention of his company's name caught his attention. The headline was about an auction; the biggest auction event in his district. Initially, he felt he misheard their pronunciation but they mentioned it a second time.His focus panned towards the reporter’s face, wondering if he verifie

    His senses tingled as he felt the vibration of his phone. He wanted to leave the college before checking his phone but the action that led to Mr Deep Lens postponing his meeting with him dissuaded him.He slipped his hands into his pockets like he was forced to and opened the message.“The company college?” Louis jibed “weren't we all inside a while ago?”“Why couldn't they say whatever they wanted to before they announced the results? This is unreasonable,” he continued complaining.He clicked on the email message and read it with all his attention fixed to it.“You thought it was over,” Louis' heart began pounding as he saw the threatening first sentence.“Think again! Welcome to the next round, starting the moment you clicked on this message,”“What the hell?” Louis exclaimed. People rushed past him like they were in a race or something and Louis was unaware of their reasons.They glared at him with dead cold eyes, waiting to seize an opportunity to end his confidence.

    “I'm sorry. I'm just a little worried,” the man confessed.“I thought you said you had faith in our product, so why are you worried over nothing?” Louis lashed at him.“Nothing,” the man kept shut, keeping a long face at the scoreboard. Louis was not up for anybody to corrupt his good mind with their doubts, even if it meant scolding his collaborator; He really needed a pep talk but now was not the time for Louis to give it to him.“Calm yourself down and wait for the results to be announced. We are not going to be eliminated, not today,” Louis whispered to the man after his guilt made him feel sorry for acting mean towards him.“Okay”Their little conversation, along with the room, was interrupted by a buzzing sound that glowed red on the television. It brought the names and pictures of certain people in the competition and with successive speed, they were eliminated and escorted out of the building.Some of them tried to resist while demanding an explanation for their termination b

    Without waiting for a grand entrance from Mr Deep Lens, he proceeded to read the words he could make out aloud.“Zick,” Louis began reading, exchanging glances between the paper and Deep Lens who crossed his arms.“I know somewhere deep down your guts you still crave for your child, and it pains me that we have to get a two-week reservation before seeing you. If you really want your kid around then claim us,” Louis stopped and exhaled loudly, shaking his head in astonishment. “Forgot about the inheritance, it's not yours to take and no amount of children you try to have will make you legally the owner of his property,”Louis stopped again and wondered what inheritance the writer was talking about and whose. His family's plot thickened by the moment, and he just sat there, unable to bring it to an end.“I have reserved tickets for me and my child to Paris, and if you don't rush to see your child, then this is the last you will ever see us,” Louis heaved. The hairs on his skin stood s

    Louis ignored the investigator's finger and looked at the picture one more time.Was Selena aware of Hank and Zick's action? What happened that made them bankrupt? Louis thought.“God, I'm supposed to be excited at the news but what is this feeling?” Louis asked himself He knew it was far distant from love and care, and his sympathy towards the Harts were far from a thousand kilometres. It was his unbelief. His inability to believe that the Harts were going broke. A wealth that they protected with their life and guarded with barbed wires, poison darts and eagle's eyes. How did they let it slip away just like that?Louis knew Hank and Selena were masters of strategies and handled money effectively, even Zick, though a selfish, wicked and devlish stepbrother, was never the type to lavish money under Selena's radar except when she was unaware of it.“Is business failing?” Louis thought to himself. There was no possible explanation to justify their visit to a loan shark.“Snap out of th
