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
The next day, Wayne told his men to track down the person Aunt Matilda wanted to kill Mr. Leo."Teach him a lesson and ensure he ends up behind bars," Wayne ordered. Little did Wayne know, Aunt Matilda had bigger plans in store for him. She had no intentions of harming him or Amber. Days and weeks passed without any sign of the assassin."Don't give up until you find him," Wayne instructed his men."Our presentation is in a few hours, and this is the script for your speech. I hope you're not nervous because I am," Amber mumbled, handing Wayne a sheet of paper."We've got this, alright?" Wayne reassured her."Okay," Amber replied with a faint smile.As every employee gathered in the conference hall, including the entire Cooper family, Amber heaved in a deep breath peaking through the backstage, felt overwhelmed."I don't think I can do this," she confessed to Wayne, who was standing behind her."I'm right here with you. Don't worry about anything." Wayne said, and in a split second h
Wayne left his father's mansion and headed to the Cooper's home, anticipating their confrontation.In the living room, Mrs. Emilia sat on the oversized couch, glaring at Wayne."Where the hell were you? Why did you skip the presentation? Do you think we handed you that role for you to mess around? You ungrateful fool!" Mrs. Emilia yelled.Her voice drew the attention of the other family members.Wayne didn't utter a word. He knew things would get sorted out soon, and the Coopers wouldn't have a say any more."You're a good-for-nothing! You dare to meddle in our family business?" Mr. Nathan chimed in."Father, this man is incompetent. I want my position back. I promise not to repeat my mistake. Plus, we all know they can't handle this company," Aunt Matilda interjected."Exactly! Amber did well. Matilda, you can assist Amber. As for this man, he'll be back to doing household chores. He's not fit for any job since he can't get anything right," Mr. Cooper declared disappointly, followed
Drex refrained from harming the man. "How much are they?" Drex asked the sales manager."Five dollars, twenty-five cents," Mark responded. Drex paid for his packs of cigarettes, and decided to wait for the man in his car.He pulled out his phone from his trousers, and dialed Wayne's number. Wayne lay exhausted in his room, having completed all the household chores.Weary and drained, he maintained his facade, biding his time until the opportune moment to reveal his true identity.Abruptly, the door swung open, disrupting his moment of respite. Annoyed, Wayne turned to find Bailey standing before him."Hey, nanny, I need you to drive me to my hair appointment," Bailey demanded."I just finished all the chores, and I haven't eaten since morning. It's evening now. I really need some rest," Wayne replied, disinterestedly."Are you defying your duties? Get up and take me to my appointment; I can't be late. Otherwise, I'll inform my mother when she returns from work," Bailey threatene
The next morning, Aunt Matilda and her husband arrived at the company. "Good afternoon," Pedro greeted them. "How can we help you?" Aunt Matilda asked bluntly, turning to look at Mr Nathan in confusion, wondering why their boss's lawyer was in their office that morning. "Your boss told me to give you this letter," Pedro said, handing them an envelope. "What is this?" said Mr Nathan, taking the envelope and opening it to see what was inside. He took out the piece of paper and ran his eyes over it, while Aunt Matilda watched him closely, eager to hear what the letter said. "What....Why?" Mr Nathan shouted, turning to Aunt Matilda in shock. "What does it say dear, what's wrong?" Aunt Matilda asked, her heart pounding with every beat. "We... we are fired," Mr Nathan stammered. Aunt Matilda was stunned, she couldn't believe what she had just heard. "No, no, you must have read it wrong, I'm sure you misunderstood the handwriting," Aunt Matilda said, forcing a smile as she took the
"One of Drex's men grabbed the assassin's left hand and placed it on the table in front of Wayne. Wayne looked deep into the man's eyes and grinned as he tried to pull one of his fingers away. "Please, no, I will tell you, please I will talk!" The man begged, then Wayne pulled back. "I'm listening!" Wayne said curiously. "It's Jeremy!" The assassin muttered. "What do you mean? Who's Jeremy?" Wayne asked. "Your brother," the assassin said as Wayne burst out laughing. Wayne never had a brother. "You're so ridiculous, you think I'm here for jokes, huh? I don't want to waste my precious time with you," Wayne said, turning his gaze to Drex. "Drex, torture him until he tells the truth, make him feel pain," Wayne ordered. "Boss, he is right," Drex muttered, bowing his head to the ground in fear. "What do you mean he's right, have you all gone mad?" Wayne shouted turning to each of them but he could see the seriousness in their faces, that's when Wayne realised it wasn't a joke. Wayn
After much discussion between Wayne and his father, Wayne decided to move out of the Coopers' house and into his huge mansion so that he could plan better, for who knew if he was Jeremy's next target. "Hey idiot, I've been looking for you all day," Aunt Matilda said to Wayne as she walked towards him in the hallway. "Why?" Wayne asked. "How dare you ask me why, aren't you a slave to this family?" Aunt Matilda asked, her eyes were swollen, it looked like she had been crying all day because she had been fired and now she wanted to take out her frustration on Wayne but there was no way she was going to do that this time, it was time for Wayne to leave and make better plans for his life, he didn't care if the Cooper's found out his true identity as the richest man in town but even if they did it wouldn't stop Wayne from making the Cooper's pay for what they had done. "Now listen, I have some dirty laundry in my room, I need you to go and wash it now," Aunt Matilda ordered. "No," Wayn
"How dare he do this to Father! What has come over him?" Aunt Matilda shouted. The whole family gathered around, Mr Cooper still in great pain. "Why did he leave all of a sudden? And what did he mean when he said we had no idea who he was?" Mrs Emilia asked in confusion. Amber stood there speechless, she couldn't explain what was going on, she didn't even know who Wayne really was, she didn't care to ask or get to know him better, after all he was just a useless, dirty husband to her and her family. Wayne walked into his mansion, he stood outside to take in the view, after all he was a trillionaire, he didn't care about hiding anymore, he didn't care if the Coopers found out his true identity. The grand mansion was a stunning sight to behold, with its towering columns and numerous balconies overlooking the countryside. Wayne was amazed as he looked around with a sense of satisfaction; the mansion had been built not just as a home but as a statement of wealth, power and status. It
******Talia had called the Cops with Wayne's phone. And a few minutes later, the Cops arrived alongside the ambulance who took Dannis and Wayne to the hospital.BAILEY.Bailey arrived two days later like she had told Diana. They were both seated at a coffee shop.“You've changed so much, I can't believe it's barely six a year since we saw each other, hey you look like you're a different person, come on, spill me the tea,” Bailey teased.“Please Bailey, quit flattering me,” Diana chuckled.“So why did you call me here? You said it was important,“ Diana said.Bailey cleared her throat.“Yes, I called you because I need a Favour from you,”“And what is that?““I want you to help me lure someone into dating you, I want you to seduce him and all that,” Bailey said. Diana laughed.“This is so ridiculous, you're joking right?“ Diana asked. Bailey raised a brow.“Does it look like I'm joking?“ “How would you expect me to lure someone I know not of? For what purpose, if I may ask?“ Diana as
Talia gasped because he was bleeding terribly. His white shirt had already turned to red, due to blood stains. Most was from the men he had dealt with outside.Blake turned to face Wayne. Wayne giggled bitterly.“So this is really who you are. You were working for them all this while and had the guts to pretend to my face?“ Wayne said. Blake had handed the gun over to Mr Kain. His gun was in his car, so right now he was harmless.Wayne could see how terrified Blake was. And even from the distance between them, Wayne could notice Blake trembling from his head to his toe.“Boss, please,”“Don't fucking call me that, Do you dare call me your Boss,” Wayne said.While Wayne was busy, focused on Blake. Mr Kain felt it was the best opportunity to end Wayne life once and for all.“Bang!!!!“ Talia gasped. Her eyes focused on Mr Kain who was just shot on the head. His eyes opened facing the ceiling as he laid down flat on the floor. He was dead. Gone!Wayne was all focused on Blake, but he wasn
Just as Wayne signalled the gang man who seemed to be their leader, threatening him to come forward. Wayne watched a sly smile escape his lips as he retrieved his steps, gesturing at two other men who went for Wayne instead. Wayne exhaled slowly. Focusing.********Wayne had taken down those two men, leaving two more men and their leader. Panting heavily as he stared at three of them. At this point, Wayne was about to give up. His whole body arched in pain. The last two men who came for him had punched on the spot where he was shot. “Bang! Bang!“ Wayne and the rest of the men heard gunshots coming from inside the warehouse. Wayne's eyes flew open in shock. What if Talia had been shot.Wayne ran towards the door. One of the men ran after him, gripping him on his shoulder.“Where do you think you're going, huh? Bang!“ Wayne heard another Gunshot.With Wayne being distracted again. The man threw an unexpected punch at Wayne's left rib cage. Wayne heard a cracking sound. He groaned in
Wayne stood firm positioning himself to take the huge guy who was coming for him.The huge guy paused on his track, turning back to face another car that had pulled up behind them. The boss might have called in more of his men.Four men hopped out from the G-wagon, all armed as they advanced towards the order men.They glanced at the ground, gazing at the guns on the floor. They all giggled, turning to themselves. Throwing their own gun to the floor. Because they understood what was going on.Wayne stood alone injured with gun shot all over his body, facing twelve men.Without warning, the first man lunged towards him, fist swinging widely, Wayne dodged, delivering a quick and swift punch to the man's temple. Sending him sprawling. Another charged from the right, Wayne ducked, his fist connecting with the man's guts, leaving him winded.The remaining men surrounded Wayne. Wary, Wayne eyes flicked between them. Calculating. Two came at him with their goat raised towards Wayne. Wayn
are you Mr Kain gasped in shock.“You're not deaf, I said I need you to let her go right now,” Wayne said.“Not until you release my daughter,” Mr Kain mumbled.“Mr Kain, don't let me lose it. Tell your men to let her go,” Wayne took a step closer, pointing the gun at Mr Kain.Mr Kain took out a blade from his pocket, he held the knife at Talia's neck. Pressing it tight that it gave Talia a little cut.Dannis attempted to stop Mr Kain, but one of the gang men held him back. “Where do you think you're going?“ The gang man said to Dannis.“I'm sorry but you'll have to go through my men, provide my daughter if you want your girl back. Boys! handle him,” Mr Kain ordered.Wayne turned back because two cars had pulled over behind him. More gang men stepped out of the car. Holding all kinds of weapons.Talia, Dannis and Kelvin were all taken inside while Wayne had to face about a dozen men alone.******“He knew my name, How did he fucking know my name?“ Mr Kain kept rumbling. His eyes met
An Explosion..Ruby eyes flew open in shock, what was that noise. It came from outside, immediately Theresa had stepped out. Could it be that Theresa, No! No way!Wayne had planted bombs specifically for Those gang men. In case they would find their way to Theresa and Ruby. Wayne had chained Theresa and Ruby, thinking they wouldn't be able to leave until he was back. He hadn't planted those bombs for Theresa nor did he plant it For Ruby.But it was quite unfortunate that Theresa was a victim. Ruby was scared to death. What if Theresa had released her. What if they both were together. She would have died too. Sometimes good things come in bad ways. And TmRuby had just realized that.TALIA.Talia was being carried because she had been shot on the leg. She was unable to walk and the warehouse was hours away, Dannis and Kelvin were behind, with three other guards who followed behind them.“Move!“ one of the guards pushed Dannis. Dannis missed his steps and fell to the floor.“Get up wea
Take them back to the warehouse, we'll figure out what to do with them, first we have to make sure my daughter is released,” The boss ordered.THERESA AND RUBY.When Theresa was sure that Wayne was gone, she spat out an object, one that resembled a Bobby pin.She had managed to take out her hair pin, hiding it in her mouth before Wayne had their hands chained backwards.Ruby stared at Theresa, disgusted by what she just did.“What did you do that for?”Ruby asked.“Shut that whole of yours, I need you to try and pick up that pin. 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. Theresa rolled her eyes in annoyance..“Just pick up the pin first, i'll tell you what to do next,” Theresa said. Ruby tried to reach for the pin because Theresa spat the pin next to the chained hand, so t
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.
