"You're finally awake!" Louis's gaze interlocked with a familiar look as his eyes forced an opening.

The blurring vision before him gradually became clearer as the features of this familiar person carved out.

An attempt to rise from the ground that he laid sent a spike of pain running down through his spine and forcing him down his bed once again.

"Don't do that!" The hands tried touching him and helping him out

"You haven't recovered yet!" The voice forced a sudden bitter sense down the throat of Louis causing a scowl on his face as he snapped back the hands of this man in place.

"You're okay?" A creepy smile that was meant to be subtle crept to the face of this man.

However, his intended calming words only brought a growl to the face of Louis as dark memories from the past came racing back into his head.

The creepy face of his stepbrother, the one that presided over his justification from the family, stood before him.

"What do you want?" Inquired Louis, his face filled with resentment for Zick

"What do you mean by that, Louis? Can't I see my brother anymore after a long time?"

Louis refused a reply, his gaze only becoming strong and intense as he shot the question once again.

Zick straightened up with an evil expression to his face. His head straightened right up into the air 

"We want you back, Louis!" 

A bolt of lightning shock from these words came running down the spine of Louis. The same family that wanted him gone years back now wanting him back, it was unbelievable..

Louis' gaze interlocked into the sinister looks of the Hart family representative that was before him.

However they seemed to have forgotten that even though it was for a short period, he was once the heir of the Hart family....

The Hart family was streaming in the resources of manpower and would never need someone like him for anything.

Why the sudden change of heart. He was well aware that the Hart family would never carry out any act without an inner motive.

With his face loosened up, Louis stepped up until he could feel the hot and dark breath that came off from Zick nostrils.

"And what's the reason for the sudden change of heart?" Inquired Louis.

Zick's ever creepy smile deepened into his face. However, he could not hide that Villian looks that laid just beneath his brows.

"Of course the family thinks that it was too harsh on you years back. And is recalling you back!"

A burst of laughter from Louis was almost sent ripping through the heir in an instance. The Hart family not only hated him but also his family who they always claimed was born out of wedlock.

They had always wanted to set him up. And his decision years back was just the means to an end. 

Their motives definitely remained ulterior.

"Too bad to disappoint you! But I renounced being a member of that family years back!" Returned Louis, with a firm gaze.

"You should rethink your position Louis. You know the benefits that you could get from being a member of the family!" He said, however, Louis could not stand that irritating look anymore.

His lungs clustered in an instinct and the hot breath was stung in his lungs as he let out a low growl, in the same way that Zick did years back.

"Get out Zick!"

"You're not needed here!" 

Zick tried putting his calms, however, his words sent an echo rolling through the room once again.

The door splitted open and the Scent of a lady flooded the room. Her rose flower fragrance completely her heart shaped face and perfectly figured body that was enough to steal the heart of any man.

Even Louis that was hard on spec was immediately drawn in by her charms and the strength that she carried in her steps.

"You have to leave right this instant Mr. Zick. And don't ever return here again if you aren't instructed to!" Her words though calm embodied a sense of authority that sent Zick rolling off from his seat 

"You don't have to bite my head off!" Zick eyes were focused on her boobs as he rose, swallowing the embarrassment down his spine with one large gulp.

"Think about what I have said brother!" He said.

Louis still found it difficult to remove his eyes from the lady. Even though his stare dug deep into her gaze, and her perfectly situated facial features, he couldn't pick out any sense of where he had known her from.

"You must be the one that saved me from that accident. Thanks very much!" Louis swiftly reached the conclusion and sent a cold chill down the spine of the lady that was difficult to control.

The fear lingering in her eyes as quickly,she crashed to her knees and the earth trembled under her.

"Please forgive me Sir Louis for not properly introducing myself early enough. I'm your assistant, the one that had gotten you into this mess in the first instance.

I should not have sent you that text. I should have gotten to you myself!" Added Queen.

Her head was still bowed as she didn't dare to stare into Louis's eyes.

"You don't have to worry. It was just a minor fault that was totally not from you! And I'm alright!" Added Louis.

Queen was stunned beyond her thoughts. It was difficult for her to believe these words that echoed in her head.

All the previous bosses that she had have always treated her like she was an object. Some even try to go beyond the broad lines of work to have her.

Louis so far has been the only one to talk to her without an authoritative tune and not to throw blame at her too.

Queen's face was widened with shock.

"You should stand already!" Louis added once again, snapping her off from my thoughts.

Quickly, she nodded her head getting up from her kneeling position. Even though Louis knew that it might not be the right instance, the curiosity that burned through him, wanted to know more about his winning ticket.

"About the message that you sent me. I'm a little bit bored, so can we talk about it?" Inquired Louis.

"Definitely Sir. Louis. As said, your investment in the company boomed and has accumulated over the years.

My previous boss, due to some financial issues, would love to transfer total ownership of the high tower to you for monetary consideration!" Queen explained with her smoothing voice 

"And how much would this money be?" 

"About a billion dollars sir!" Queen returned.

A forced dry cough came running off from the throat of Louis after hearing these amounts. The investment that he made years ago wasn't even close to that.

It was just about five hundred thousand dollars. His bones boiled over with heat as he appeared to stay calm, while inside, he was tossing all over.

"Are you okay sir?" Inquired Queen.

"Yes! I am. I just wanted to know. What do you really think about it?

I feel that you have been with the company for a while and know a lot about it already. So why don't you tell me?" Louis inquired.

"The current stock of the company runs close to half a trillion dollars Sir. So I feel that it would be worth the investment."

Louis's eyes almost came crawling off from his eye sockets. The words sent a quiver immediately running through his body.

It was unbelievable. That he had almost 80 percent of that money that had been mentioned.

His body ran over. His head suddenly ran blank with numbers. 

A few moments with his head still storming off with the shock that ran through his body, Louis nodded calmly.

"You're right. Due to my state, I'm afraid that I would have to task you with carrying out the process!" Louis said 

Queen, though shocked, nodded her head. It was her normal duty to go through all the paperwork of her boss.

"I will get everything ready Sir Louis. And also bring All the documents needed to be signed over to you!" She added.

Queen's strong steps were about to evict the room when Louis stooped her, his eyes forcing itself to run down her boobs but he controlled the urge.

"I want you to also do a quick check on the Hart family and their current state!" 

"Okay sir!" Queen returned and was off from the hall.

Louis was basking with excitement. He almost ripped off from the drip that had been placed into his arms.

He was close to a trillion dollars rich from an investment that everyone thought had failed years back. He was rich again.

Though Louis remained glued to the bed, he was still boiling over with excitement inside.

His body surged. Somehow, he felt that the sudden return request from his once family could be related to this. However there was only one way that he could find out.

Louis's spring flow of excitement was suddenly interrupted by a barge right through the door.

His eyes met with scornful stares and a man that would pass for a doctor, shivering in his white robe as he pointed out to Louis with his words quivering on his lips.

"That's him!" He announced to Louis utmost confusion.

    “A different name?” she forced out a laugh“Yes, a different name,” Louis replied with certainty; in fact, he had never been more sure of anything in his life than this. He could sense her obvious doubt in his decision which she tried to cloak with a faint smile.“Do you have any problem with what I just said?” He stared at her blankly, giving her room to express herself a little bit.She jumped at the opportunity to spit out all her questions without wasting time. “How would others know we entered the game? This would be a first in history, if we do this, keep in mind that we definitely will be sabotaged and picked on?”She kept on asking without pausing for breath or answers. It seemed new to her and she worried that Louis might end up being the helpless boy they'd pick on without demanding respect.“Easy with the questions, I can only answer the most important, and trust me, I know what I'm doing,” Louis assured, using his hands to gesture that she should take a breath.She apologi

    Louis rolled his eyes around the building as he noticed that everyone was waiting for him to give his answers. He muttered a cuss word and clenched his fists behind his back.

We got another Mama's boy in our midst” A man echoed from a corner.Everybody bursted out laughing, and the building, which was dead silent, swiftly turned into a hall for the loudest cackle. Louis' heart sank to the floor while he felt the cold welcome of everyone sear his flesh away. He hissed at their childish behavior of making him feel worthless but he knew he wasn't at a place where he would be met with open hands and a warm embrace.Louis shook his head in disapproval and finally spoke up. “ If I wanted to go to a circus, I'd take a train.

He shut his mouth and waited for the end of the meeting.“What happened? Cat got your tongue.” James kept making fun. “I thought you were about to flare up..”“Please, can we wait till the end of the meeting?” The old man pleaded with obvious dissatisfaction on his face.James held back on any scandalous comments he had on Louis.

    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'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

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.

    “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

    “So what do you say, Greg?” Louis interrupted his fantasy. “Are you ready to join my alliance?”Greg's eyes burned with desire, he shone his eyes at Louis, nodding his head in quick motion.“Yeah, I will,” he smiled “You gotta introduce me to Mrs Kimberly,” Louis shrugged at his statement. “I hope you know she's married and living happily,” Louis interjected. “Why are you interested in meeting her?” “It's nothing, I just liked her since the day she caught my eye,” Greg said “Those eyes of yours shouldn't be catching anything that has already been claimed,” Louis warned for his good.“These eyes can catch whatever they want, as long as I can afford it,” Greg replied Louis cracked up at his statement, his laughter echoed through the restaurant. He found it amusing that Greg thought he could charm Mrs Kimberly, yet more thinking she couldn't take care of herself. If she demanded a price, Louis could confidently bet a million that Greg would not be able to meet up.“Whatever you say,

    Was Mrs Kimberly a good person to associate with? He wondered. Was she worth any trouble? And if he turned out she was actually devious, would he be able to protect her?It also puzzled Louis why he never thought of this; maybe it was his instincts.“Desperate times call for desperate measures,” Louis stated. He decided to add Mrs Kimberly as part of his future alliance. He hoped they would work in his favor and never backstab him.The day went by without Louis making up his mind about his pick for the designs, but he was resolved to decide who would form his alliance.The next day, Louis went to a location to meet up with Greg. It marked the second time he waited for him. Louis subtly prayed for Greg to put any thought of wearing disguises aside. He wasn't in a mood to attract attention, especially when people knew who Greg was.However, to Louis' dismay, there was Greg dressed in casual wear at a five-star restaurant. The address was sent to him an hour after their last call, making

    “I told you I need to see our record sale,” Louis stated before she walked out.That was the documents she came to compile early in the morning before she got distracted by the works of their guards. She gnashed her teeth in fear and cooked up an excuse in her head.“Yes, master. I'm on it, I just need to extract the file before sending them to you,”She rushed out before he could reply. She did not want to give him a chance to fish out the threads from her lie.“Extraction!” Louis muttered, wondering if he heard her right. He left her to whatever excuse she gave him and busied himself with a portfolio of designs that was on his table. His company, Twin Tower, recently won an innovation award and was one step ahead of crossing another milestone. Due to this, they planned to do a new branding of their products and they needed his final decision. Those designs had slept on his table for more than three weeks, but he still didn't feel like picking a choice at all.He stared at the diff

Everything sounded like facts to him but he couldn't hold himself from handling his problem. His fingers itched to get busy and his conscience wanted a dismissal of her pleas. However, deep down in his heart, he wanted to see if Queen had what it took to hold true to her words. With a grudge filled heart and a reply that felt like the weight of the world, crumpled upon it, muffling the volume of his voice.“Okay, thank you very much,” Louis uttered.Queen gaped at him, thinking Louis gave her a response to another question. She asked again if Louis would fuss over the situation but Louis gave her the same half-hearted response.“Gosh!” She exclaimed, brushing her hair to the side. “I didn't know you'd agree so easily,”Louis kept silen
