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
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
