2024-10-29 19:42:56Wayne knitted his eyebrows and looked at her, he could tell her any amount he needed and go home to his father so he could pay off his debt, but his instincts kept telling him no.
"I'm sorry, but I can't do that, Amber, I'm not a liar, and I've come a long way to honor my father's wish so I can't go back." Wayne explained with a straight face.
"So you're just here to ruin my life? I can't believe you!" Amber said angrily, and then stomped out of the room in a rage.
Aunt Matilda was sitting on the porch with her husband and daughter Bailey when Bailey said.
"I can't believe Amber's getting married to a homeless man."
"Well, she deserves him," Mr. Nathan said, taking a sip of his orange juice.
"We were looking for a way to remove Amber from the heir list and also from the will, but I guess fate has done it all," Aunt Matilda said mockingly.
"You're right Mother, she belongs to the poor family now, that smelly dirty slave," Bailey said as they all burst out laughing.
"I don't want to see you bring a man like that home, or I'll kill you both!" she said.
"Don't say that honey, you should not compare our daughter to Amber, you know Bailey has always been the best granddaughter in this household and everyone knows it."
"You're right." Aunt Matilda said, then paused for a second as if she had an idea.
"How about we teach them both a lesson, especially our new slave boy, and make this place a living hell for them." Aunt Matilda said with a sly smile as they all nodded in agreement.
Wayne dropped his well-worn duffel bag on the bed, he walked over to the closet and checked to see if there was enough room for his things.
His clothes were not many and they could fit on a couple of hangers, he took his duffel bag off the bed and started taking his clothes out and carefully placing them on the unused hangers.
He was done in no time. He walked out of the closet, he went to the window and looked outside, the Cooper's property was huge, he was still taking in the beauty of the scene when he heard the bedroom door burst open, he sucked in a breath knowing he was about to face another confrontation from someone.
It was Aunt Matilda.
Her eyes swept from his head to his feet. Wayne felt insulted again.
"Hey, I need you to trim the gardens, they're a mess." She demanded with a mocking smile on her face.
Wayne was about to refuse when Amber entered the room.
"What's going on?" she asked no one in particular.
Her face was slightly worried, her shoulders hunched in fear. She wondered why Aunt Matilda was in the bedroom with Wayne.
She looked at Wayne and raised a questioning eyebrow.
"I'm just trying to make your soon to be useless husband useful here, we all heard your grandmother say, and it would be a shame if he was worthless to this household, so I asked him to trim the garden."
"Oh really?" Amber asked.
"You doubt me?" Aunt Matilda asked.
Amber sighed coldly as she turned her eyes to Wayne.
"You heard her, do as she says." Amber ordered.
For a moment, Wayne stood clenching his fist and looking at them both, then he took a deep breath and said.
"Where's the garden?" he muttered, his anger sinking in.
"This way," Aunt Matilda said, grinning at him. Wayne turned to look at Amber for a second before leaving the room.
"Here is the garden, here are the tools you need. Oh, and just so you know, you won't be eating today if you haven't finished your work."
"Honey!" Mr. Nathan called in her direction.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
"Oh, I'm teaching this dirty scumbag how to be useful around here," Aunt Matilda said disrespectfully.
"Oh, that's good," he said, turning to look at Wayne.
"When you're done with the garden, you need to clean the hallway. The cleaners are not really doing a good job, so I need you to mop the whole hallway, oh yeah, after that you should polish my shoes, they are all dusty!" Mr. Nathan said mockingly.
Although Wayne didn't say a word, his blood was boiling with anger, as his fist tightened.

“These past weeks have been the worst days of my life.“ Wayne said to himself. The Coopers family had maltreated him so much these past few weeks, turning him into something less than a mere slave, he had gone days without eating, he washed their dishes, did their laundry, cleaned every corner of the enormous mansion, and even washed their underwear. His head came down and his eyes found his reflection in the mirror. Next second, Wayne balled his hand and swung it at the mirror. The first thung he felt was pain, he watched the glass break into big pieces and he watched as the big pieces landed on the floor and shattered into all pieces. He saw the blood dripping from the cuts in his hand, at first he made no attempt to clean it but soon it would form a pool and he wanted to avoid that. He grabbed a napkin and pressed it on his hand. The pain registered and he winced. Suddenly his bedroom door opened and Mr Nathan walked in. His eyes fell on the shattered pile of glass a

The first thing Wayne noticed as he regained consciousness was the steady beeping of the heart monitor.As Wayne's senses slowly returned, he could feel his fingers twitching and then his toes. The scent of antiseptic crept into his nose. He heard two unfamiliar voices murmuring, both men."I think he's awake," one said softly."Thank God, I thought I had lost him," the other replied with relief.Wayne gently began to open his eyes. The room seemed blurry for a few seconds until his vision became clearer.Gradually, Wayne made out the figure of a man in white scrubs and another man who looked muscular for his age."My son, you're awake!" the older man exclaimed as he approached Wayne."Where am I?" Wayne asked, bewildered."You're in my house, Wayne," the man explained."Why am I in a hospital and why are you calling me your son? Who are you?" Wayne questioned. "Wait a minute. I think I've seen this guy before. He is with Drex when they attacked me!""What the hell?!" Wayne yelled as

A few days later, Wayne was finally ready to return to the Coopers family.Drex drove Wayne back to the Cooper's mansion, and a few blocks away, Wayne tapped Drex on the shoulder, startling him.“Sir…Master Wayne, what can i do for you?“ Drex stuttered.“Stop me here.“ Wayne ordered leaning back on the seat and without any hesitation Drex stopped the car.“I'm finally back .“ Wayne said, something under his breath, with a smile on his lips.When Wayne got out of the red Lamborghini, Drex came out and knelt down.“Please, Wayne, forgive me. I didn't mean to kill you. If you don't forgive me, your father will kill me. I didn't mean to hurt you, Wayne. You can hit me. I don't care. I'll do anything to own up to what I did.” Drex pleaded.“You know what? You hit me.” Wayne mumbled something.“What? Never! I would never do that to you, Wayne.” Drex hesitated.“You want me to forgive you? Hit me, hit me really hard to the extent I bleed. It's not a request, Drex. It's an order. Come on, do

It was a Saturday morning, Wayne had gone to the garden, he loved the smell of the flowers and the sounds of the chirping birds, he spent most of his mornings there or when the Cooper's family didn't send him on an errand, the garden had become his favorite and only place in the Cooper's mansion.He heard footsteps and hoped it wasn't Aunt Emilia or her husband, or worse, Aunt Matilda."Wayne!" Amber called out."My grandfather asked to see both of us." She said. Wayne got up from the grass he was lying on."I need you to be at your best for us, because whatever you do affects me, okay?" Amber mumbled."All right, let's go." He said.They both arrived at Mr. Cooper's office, where Mrs. Emilia, Mr. Nathan, Mrs. Matilda, Mr. Oliver and Mrs. Laurette were all sitting, staring at Wayne with hate and anger.And it was then that he knew he was in for another problem."I called you all here because I am going to let Wayne to work for our company!"

Tears welled up in Amber's eyes, and she was left speechless. This was something she had worked and pleaded for, and now it was all ruined."What's wrong?" Wayne asked, noticing the sudden change in mood."Nothing, let's just go home," Amber said, wiping away her tears.Wayne had a feeling that something was amiss. Someone in the family must have orchestrated this.Seeing Amber so dejected made him feel bad too.Pulling up to the mansion, Amber got out of the car. She gazed at the grand building, then took a deep breath before going inside. She knew her grandparents would be disappointed in her. She was in big trouble, and her heart continued to race.Entering the living room, she found the whole family seated, as they did during emergencies or important discussions."Look who decided to show up," Mrs Emilia said bluntly.Amber's heart leaped into her throat."You foolish girl! You had the audacity to turn down Mr. Rolland's appointment to go on a date with that lowlife!" Mrs. Emilia

Mr. Leo woke up feeling worried; he had barely slept through the night."What if they find out?" he asked himself over and over again.He dressed for work and walked to the bus stop. He was about to approach a taxi when two muscular, tall men in black suits and black sunglasses approached him."Are you Mr. Leo?" Drex asked."Yes...yes...I am Mr. Leo, but I have done nothing wrong to Mr. Bruce," Mr. Leo stammered."How do you know we are here because we think you have done something wrong, or have you?" Drex asked."No..no please spare my life. I'm clean, everyone in this town knows that if you show up, you've either done wrong to Mr. Bruce, the richest man in power, and most of them don't live to tell the tale, please I don't want to die," Mr. Leo pleaded."Well you're right, but it's not my senior boss you've offended, it's his son, but you're lucky he asked me to spare your life, now go to the car and get in," Drex ordered."Mr. Bruce has a son?" Leo whispered and fell to his knees.

The next morning, the whole family gathered in the living room as usual, including Wayne.Mr. Leo was seated amongst them, sweating profusely with his body trembling as fear raced through him. He was scared because he knew the family wouldn't take what he was about to say lightly. Wayne had left him with only two options: confessing to the Coopers and Mr. Rolland or paying with his life. And Mr. Leo definitely did not want to die."What did you call us here for?" Mr. Cooper asked sternly. Slowly, Mr. Leo turned to Aunt Matilda. She looked terrified and worried. Then he glanced at Wayne who sat there calmly, with a soft smile on his lips. Wayne winked at Mr. Leo, reminding him of the consequences. Mr. Leo's lips became loose."It's me, I lied," he stammered. The whole family looked at each other in confusion."What do you mean by it is you?" Mr. Cooper asked."I was asked to lie to Amber about her meeting with Mr. Rolland. Please forgive me, it was never my intention," Mr. Leo pleaded,

Later that evening, Wayne phoned Mr. Leo to remind him that his job was not yet finished.“Remember, your job isn't done yet. First thing tomorrow morning, we'll meet with Mr. Rolland and Amber must sign the contract. If not, you'll still have to pay,” Wayne said.“Yes, Master Wayne. I'll schedule a meeting with Mr. Rolland first thing tomorrow. I promise, I'll do anything you ask. I don't want to die,” Mr. Leo pleaded.“Good,” Wayne replied before hanging up.The next day, Wayne tried calling Mr. Leo but received no answer.“But he agreed to meet Mr. Rolland today,” Wayne thought to himself. He then decided to call Drex.“I need you to go to Mr. Leo's house. It seems he's forgetting our deal,” Wayne instructed.“Alright, boss,” Drex responded.A few hours later, Drex called Wayne.“Boss, there's bad news,” Drex stated.“What do you mean?” Wayne asked in curiosity.“Mr. Leo is dead. I found him lying on his bed with a gunshot wound to his head,” Drex said. Wayne couldn't utter a word

We could use it to unlock these locks. If you want to get out of here, we would have to work together,” Theresa mumbled.Ruby stared at the pin. Wondering how a pin was going to help get them out of the situation.“How does this basically work?“ Ruby asked.

A few hours later. The boss arrived.“Who would build such a beautiful cabin in the middle of the woods? I almost lost my way here,” The boss said. Two guards were behind him. Talia hadn't seen these guards before. Obviously they were his personal guards and they had no business in the warehouse where Talia was locked. Unlike those filthy, disgusting gang men. These men were dressed in uniforms. They both seemed unaggressive. But not like all these things Talia had noticed about these men would change the fact that she would be dead soon. And the sad part was that she had to bring Dannis and his brother with her.Speaking of Dannis, his bleeding had stopped. He just knelt there, quiet. Kelvin on the other hand couldn't stop mumbling.“If I knew, I would have stayed back, I would have let you face this whole bullshit alone. Now you're going to lose everything, both the company, and soon your life. Oh! God! I wouldn't have come here,” Kelvin kept rumbling until the Boss had arrived.

Talia took the phone from Dannis, she dialled Wayne's number, and on the last ring, he picked up.Wayne got into his car, he was on his way when his phone rang.“He finally decided to call,” Wayne scuffed. “Hello,” Wayne said.“Hello Boss,” it was a familiar voice, not that of Blake, It was Talia's voice.“Talia, where are you?!“ Wayne said.“Uhmm, I don't know, they kidnapped me, Blake…. Bang! Hey! get down, on your knees, all of you!”“He—Hello, Talia! Are you there?“ All Wayne could hear was shooting. But there was something intriguing about the other voice. It sounded so familiar. And why would she mention Blake's name, what was she about to tell Wayne? TALIA.Busy when Talia was about to warn Wayne about Blake. There was a loud noise on the door. “Bang!“ The door fell to the floor. The phone slipped out of Talia's hands.“Hey! get down, on your knees, all of you!” Blake walked in pointing the gun at all of them. Behind Blake were about five of the men who had kidnapped Talia.
