“I don't understand. What do you mean I have to wait for seven hours, don't you know I got places to be”

“Sir, it's not my fault, it's the storm,” Louis’ pilot replied, nervous at the moment.

“Storm! What storm? I want to be in the States in the next two hours. I don't care what you have to do” Louis threatened. A storm did not pop out to disturb the service when his cousins called to mock him, so it definitely should not ruin his plans. If a hurricane wanted to appear out of nowhere, it wasn't going to stop him from showing up.

“Sir, it's going to be a huge storm, and we don't want to put your life at risk,” his pilot reported, stating facts for him.

“Who's we? How do you…” Louis stopped himself from yelling at an innocent man, he clenched his fists and turned his back at his pilot before shouting at a wall “What in the hell”

“So you mean all the flights have been canceled, and there's no public airline I can join?” He asked

“Sorry, sir, but no,” the pilot answered, bowing his face

    “Didn't we lose my bodyguard following us in the storm, I don't think there’s cell service at a time like this,” Louis shouted back to allow his driver to make out the little words he could, “I should have waited! Shit!” Louis yelled, blaming himself for the mess he placed themselves in.The rain beat heavily upon them despite the umbrella they sheltered under to avoid being soaked. The other branches of the tree couldn't even withstand the storm’s intensity, as it allowed water to drip down its leaves effortlessly. They stood in the rain with anxious thoughts and worried looks on their faces as they waited for the second car, which carried his security guards, to reach them. The storm had separated them from doing their job, and Louis, though grateful none of them got hurt by the accident, couldn't bear another minute in the rain. A light flashed in their eyes, and luckily, it was his guards driving slowly along the road. His driver quickly flagged them down and opened the door for

    The Hart's did not come to play. They wanted to torment his life with shame. The crowd gazed in utter quietness, like they were expecting a formal introduction from him while Louis kept looking around for Zick. He had seen Gavin and Veronica who couldn't wait to welcome him with true intentions.“Do you mind closing the door? It's rainy outside and kinda ruining the vibe around here” a guest at the party stated, breaking the silence Louis glared at the guest, standing at the door wide open, waiting for anyone who had the guts to push him off. After what he had been through to make it here, he wasn't going to take horsecrap from a random stranger who was a pawn in his family's stupidity. Zick came out of the shadow, wearing a devious smile on his face, he walked up to where Gavin was and stopped, saying no words but letting his ego do the talking. Some of the guests finally removed their attention from Louis and interacted with themselves, while some still gazed at him to get any rea

    “You purposely want to get on my nerves, Louis, and I don't know why,” Selena said, loosening her grip on her husband's hands. The situation was getting heated and she was getting ready to lose her cool.“Ohh, I'm not getting on anyone's nerves. I'm just not used to the pretense I'm seeing. You guys are normally rude when addressing me; why the fake act?” Louis said, raising his voice for everyone to hear him.“Just shut up! I'm tired of your stupid behavior” Gavin yelled. He rushed to defend his mother. From the way he stormed towards Louis, he could feel Gavin was gonna pounce on him, so he knuckled his fist in preparation.“And if I don't. What are you going to do?” Louis lashed back at him when Zick stopped him from causing a fight.“You are a failure. You hear me, Louis. You are a failure who can't do anything without us” Veronica rained abuse on Louis. She hated the way Louis talked to them and she retaliated in any way she could. The only person who stayed calm was Kent because

    Questions spread through the air as Zick hurriedly ran forward to catch the envelope. Selena gasped in fear for her life, thinking that Louis was about to bring out a gun and threaten them; he looked very menacing at the moment.Zick caught the envelope and refused to open it, His heart beating fast with trepidation. What was in the envelope? And why did he have a certain look of doom upon him? These questions raced Zick's mind as his hate for Louis intensified. He couldn't figure out what the envelope contained with just a bare touch, so he fought with his curiosity to open it.“What is it?” Veronica asked as they gathered around Zick with troubled faces; only Hank and his wife, Selena, remained calm without any emotions visible on their faces.“Damn it! Just open the envelope” Gavin blurted out, thrusting his hands at Zick to grab the envelope.“Don't frickin' rush me and keep your hands to yourself” Zick warned Gavin with a stern gaze at him “If you can't open it, then hand it ove

    “What are you waiting for? Go ahead and do what I asked you” Selena yelled, hitting the guard at the shoulder. The bodyguard salivated nervously because that wasn't his job, and he looked scared to pick a fight with Louis, who exuded a deadly aura from his stare alone.“I'm sorry ma'am, I can't…”The slap on his face stopped him from completing his statement. He remained stunned for at least three seconds from the burning sensation of the slap.“Will you obey me now?” she thundered. “What are you still waiting for?”The man had not fully recovered from the first hit on his face before she launched two successive slaps to his face, panting speedily at him. She pointed at Louis and yelled for her guard to spring into action. The man exhaled angrily, he looked at Gavin and turned to Louis, huffing loudly as their eyes met his. He took a step forward, clenching his fist in anger.Meanwhile, Louis stood straight, ready for action; he did not move a step back in fear. The guard came closer

    Louis felt the cold wind of the rain sweep off the warmth from his skin, causing shivers to run down his spine. He stood close to the door, his left hand still on the doorknob and his right hand clutching his pocket to feel his license. After a few seconds, he huffed and let go of the knob, taking two steps forward and stopping to wait for his driver, who was running to the car, to drive closer to him.A thought flashed through his mind concerning his bodyguard's entrance, which he did not expect. He left with only one bodyguard, and somehow, the three he left found their way to him.“How did you guys meet up with me,” he asked the guard on his right-hand side.“We stood by your car, but the umbrellas were just not strong enough to shield us from the rain. Luckily we met a man who recognized your car and offered us a ride to meet up with you. I called your driver to describe your location,” Louis asked about the mystery man but they couldn't recall his name or physical features, so t

    “Stand down! Stand down, let him speak” Louis quickly commanded. He rushed in to help the innocent man from the ground. “I'm really sorry, they were only doing their job” Louis apologized as he tried dusting the hoard of sands from his body. Even his face was covered in dust.“Damn it! They did not have to go so hard on me. The way they pounced on me felt very painful” the man complained. It was futile dusting the sand away from his body because of how soaked he was, he could only hiss in disappointment and grumble out words. The man gestured to Louis to stop trying to dust the dirt off because he was only going to spread it. Louis obeyed and felt willing to thank him for avoiding commotion even if it meant losing his job.“Nah, it's okay. I was getting sick of the inhumane treatment already. I just needed something to make me confident about quitting, and luckily, it was you,” the man said, stopping Louis from apologizing further.“I still feel like I cost you your job, it must have

    His driver honked at him, a futile gesture to compel him to hop in. He could not wait to take Louis home and have a rest after an almost fatal journey. The impatience was vivid in his forced smile that widened awkwardly.Louis snapped out of his thoughts and opened the door but waited a few minutes before he entered. "I have to get to the roots of this," Louis muttered. He nodded his head and glanced at the shed, which was now empty, as people who were trapped in the rain rushed to their various places. " Something is going on and I have to find out before they bury it deep into the ground" He decided not to block Kent's number; he had a subtle plan of using him as a channel to extract information. Though Kent often joined his family in the awful things they did to him, he was easily manipulated and was easily frightened at little threats sent his way. That was the quality he could use to his advantage. Louis archived his number and deleted the unsaved number that Zick and Veronica u

    “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
