2024-11-08 23:16:55All through the bail process and up until the point where Chris walked out of the police station, he was in shock. A while ago, he didn’t even have the hope of paying a huge sum of $5000 for his bail. But then a savior swooped in and paid.
It was unbelievable!
Fortunately for him, he had to believe because he had his freedom now. And now, he wanted to get back to his job as quickly as possible and not let his family know that he had been at the police station. He had already lost his girlfriend, he didn’t want to go through the heartache of losing his job and having his father disappointed in him.
A few steps forward, he saw an elderly man standing beside a black car. However, the man was all too familiar to him, “Uncle Steve?”
“Is that you?” He rushed toward the old man quickly. Steven Jackson was his neighbor, an old man who had always helped him and his family in every little way. Seeing him there, Chris thought that the old man had helped him once again.
He held the old man’s hand with a look of gratitude, “Thank you, Uncle. You saved me. I would be rotting in there if you had not come for me.”
“Chris…” The old man only smiled, slowly letting go of his hand making Chris frown. Why was the old man pulling away?
“You don’t have to thank me, Mr. Chris.” The old man bowed, with so much respect causing Chris’s frown to go even deeper.
“Mr?” Chris was confused. “Uncle Steve, what’s wrong? You are acting so weird.”
On the other hand, Steve was not fazed by Chris’s question, he only turned to open the car door, “Get in.”
Chris was beyond shocked at this moment, “You own this car?” He quickly ran around the car and he could attest to the fact that the car was an expensive one, luxurious, and one only those wealthy masters would drive.
He could never believe that the old man who lived in a poor neighborhood could own such a car. How did the old man even afford $5000 easily for his bail?
“Uncle Steve, are you into gambling?” Chris blurted out before even thinking. He covered his mouth quickly and shot Steve an apologetic look.
However, once again, Steve smiled but this time, he chuckled heartily, looking at Chris with a doting expression. “You are going to find out soon enough whether I am into gambling or not.”
“Get in.” He pointed at the car, directing Chris to get in.
Chris stood there for a few minutes but then he knew the old man wouldn’t be able to harm him. As a good citizen of the country, he was determined to find out whether there was an illegal scheme going on and he might be able to report it as he should.
“You better not hide anything from me, Uncle,” Chris warned sternly as the old man got into the car. Soon, the car started and the drive lasted for twenty minutes before they drove through a large open gate. The car then stopped before a large manor that had statues, trees, and even a fountain occupying the front yard. It gave an antique vibe yet modern.
The whole place screamed money and Chris knew he could never be welcomed in a place like that.
“Why have you brought me here? Do you want me to be embarrassed?” Chris was cautious as the old man opened the door and he got out. But the scene that greeted him as he looked straight at the entrance of the manor shocked him.
There were two rows of neatly dressed people lined before the entrance and he was sure there were more than twenty. How could a place house this many people?!
“Why are they here? Who are they?” He asked.
“Your servants,” Steve answered proudly.
“Welcome, young master Chris!” The servants’ voice boomed throughout the whole manor and Chris froze in shock. His head was reeling from what they had just said.
Was this some sick joke? Him? A young master? He could say that he was young but a master was taking it too far!
“You are playing a prank on me, right, Uncle?” Chris smiled, uneasily, seeking clarification.
“Wait until you get inside.” There was a subtle smirk on Steve’s face that shocked Chris. When did this man get this cunning? Steve led him into the manor and as he walked, the servants spread apart and lined up behind him, following him into the mansion.
He looked around, wondering whether they were trying to kidnap him. He knew that some rich people were engaged in trafficking and they could sell him at a high price. However, he was quickly distracted by the grandeur of the building. It was simply luxurious and opulent.
Soon, the grand door leading inside the manor opened, and Chris's eyes zeroed in on a man sitting on a luxurious chair.
He frowned, “Dad, what are you doing here?”

“What do you think?” Chris’s dad, Jones Westminster smirked, spreading his arms like a king sitting on his throne.Chris had to rub his eyes repeatedly to confirm if he was seeing things or not. His dad was suddenly looking so regal and refined, unlike the poor man who struggled all his life.“Come here, son,” Jones called out to his son, standing up from the chair. Chris could only move slowly, his body stiff from the thoughts in his head. “Why are you here, Dad? Are you playing pretend in someone else’s house?” Chris asked with a displeased tone. He would be mad if his dad was doing this because he wanted a feel of luxury. “You and Uncle Steve are in on this, right?”“Of course not.” Jones chuckled, alongside Steve. They laughed heartily throwing him into a confused fit. He could only wait for them to come clean to him.“You see, Chris.” Jones started to lead his son toward the same chair he stood up from. He made Chris sit on the chair. However, he looked so small compared to the

“This way…” Steve quickly led Chris out and toward a large open garage. The lights in the garage shined brightly and coupled with the flashy colors of the cars in there, he almost got blind.“Woahh…” Chris stood at the entrance, admiring the rows and rows of cars. “Just how much are these?” The car he rode in with Steve was small, compared to what he was seeing now.“Maybe a few dollars.” Steve shrugged like the cost of the cars was nothing. “We have a Porsche collection, Ferrari, BMW, Maybach, Rolls Royce, and a few others you can think of.”Steve was beaming with pride but on the other hand, Chris was in shock. All this was too surreal for him.“And all those belong to me?”“Yes. What car do you want? You can choose any.” Steve stretched his hand forward and Chris stepped forward, touching the cars with a hint of curiosity. However, growing up in a humble background made him think those cars were too flashy and he might damage them unexpectedly. He was bound to attract attention if

“What the fuck are you doing?” Chris glared at the tackily dressed man and swiftly, he took the man’s hand off him, throwing him off to another side. It was so easy for Chris to throw him off like he weighed nothing.“How dare you touch me!” The man was annoyed that he was easily tackled and he went for Chris again, aiming to throw a punch. However, Chris was quick to dodge making the crazy man punch the air.“You are testing my patience.” Chris was growing furious. He was still trying to be civil because he had somewhere to go and he didn’t want to embarrass himself in a public space but this crazy man wasn’t about to let him go.“And what the fuck are you going to do? Huh? Do you know who I am?” The man pointed a finger at Chris with a condescending gaze, “I am Bastien, haven’t you heard of that name around here before?”Chris’s patience was wearing thin, he was past the time when he would let people bully him and now that he had his father’s backing, he was fearless.

Bastien swallowed a big lump in his throat seeing the menacing look in Chris’s eyes. He took several steps back, and said shakily, “Don’t scare me, little boy.”However, his back hit one of the men in black and he staggered to the side. “Hey! Apologize!” He snarled but then the man didn't even spare him a glance as he walked up to meet Chris. He seemed to be the boss and he bowed before Chris, “Hello, Young Master Chris. I hope we didn't delay for too long.”“Nahh… it’s alright.” Chris waved his hand in dismissal. “What’s your name?”“Mason, young master.” Mason straightened up and then his eyes zeroed in on Bastien who had his mouth gaped in shock. “How do you want us to punish the man who offended the heir of the Westminster family, young master?” “What?” Bastien let out in shock and not only was he shocked, but the car insurance expert was also shocked. “Little kid! Don't tell me you are the heir of the Westminster family. The owner of the biggest consortium in the country?” Th

“What are you saying?” Chris felt a burst of anger and he frowned, displeased. “I am not a beggar and don’t look like one. You are the one who shouldn’t be in this store since you can’t be respectful to other buyers.”The rush from his encounter with Bastien was still registered in his mind and he wouldn't let another person try to insult him again. “You!” Mrs. Wales was shocked that he talked back at her. “You dare to talk back? You dare talk to me about respect?” She shouted, and even pointed her fingers, poking Chris in the head.“Can you see anyone dressed like you in here? Is this someplace where you can walk into just as you please?” Her pokes moved from his head to his chest as she almost dug her sharp nails into his flesh.Even the female attendant, did a double take at Chris to really see if he was dressed as a beggar, and to her, it was kind of true.“Get your hands off me.” Chris took a step back, slapping her wrist away from his sight.“And what if I don’t?” Mrs. Wales st

“Honey, you are here.” Mrs. Wales, ran toward the burly man, looking all coy, different from her arrogant self. She hugged her husband, swooning like an earthworm with her body glued to his. She didn't even care that she was in a public space!However, the husband loved it. It only took a few whispers into his ears and an angry look formed on his face. “Who dares to bully you, my wife?” The husband thundered and before Mrs. Wales could answer, Bella walked forward warily.“Hello, Mr. Gareth, it’s good to see you here.” Bella tried to be respectful to tone down the situation. Gareth took one look at Bella and glared at her arrogantly, “Did you bully my wife? I am sure you know who she is, right?”“Oh, she is your wife—”“Yes, I am!” Mrs. Wales cut her off, looking so proud. “Honey, this ordinary store manager insulted and bullied me. She didn’t even apologize to me and even dared to support that beggar over me. And that poor man over there dares to disrespect me.” She pointed at Chri

Gareth’s head was down low and all he could see was his boss’ shiny shoes. A proud man a while ago was now bowing like a dog. However, his boss didn't even pay any heed to his greetings. He walked past Gareth and went to stand before Chris. “Kid, can I see that badge again?” He asked. Chris looked from the man to the gold badge. His father had told him this could be used anywhere to declare his family status, had someone finally recognized the badge?“First, tell me who you are.” Chris didn't show the badge to him. He wanted to be sure this man was a really sensible person, or else he ran the risk of being embarrassed again about his badge. “Oh, my bad.” The dignified man chuckled. “I am Alexander McQueen, owner of the McQueen brand. I own this mall. I used to work with the Westminster family and I know that badge.” “Oh, really?” Chris raised his brows, he was impressed. At least, this man knew about the Westminster badge. He looked trustworthy enough. “Yes. I would like to take

Gareth and his wife were dragged away, leaving the atmosphere tense and overwhelmed. The onlookers were wowed and unexpectedly, they burst into a round of applause. “Wow… look at him. He is so cool.” “I wish to be the heir of the Westminster family too. Imagine how much money he has.” Listening to their words, Chris felt proud but he didn't let those words get into his head too much. He wanted to go back to his main purpose of visiting the mall. The applause came to an end and everyone dispersed. “Can I shop for the things I want now?” He asked Alexander. “Yeah… sure. But you don’t need to worry. You will be taken to the VIP section and everything you need will be brought to you.” Alexander suggested. “That will work.” Chris nodded. Alexander started to lead Chris toward the top floor of the mall. But then Bella Shaw stepped forward, pulling the edge of his clothes. “Thank you for not letting me get fired.” She whispered. “It's nothing. You didn't do anything wrong in the fi

Ria looked down at her phone as she got off the call with the masked man. She was shocked to her bones that he would ask such from her but as she stood there, right in Chris’ office, she knew she was doomed. If she didn't find a way to complete the deal, she might not be able to leave in time. In that case, Chris and butler Rico were bound to discover her involvement with The Reds. “What do I do?” Ria whispered to herself, her heart beating rapidly. For a moment, she regretted what she did, she regretted helping the masked man to get to Chris. She had aided Mr. Deco, the reporter in getting into the press conference venue. If not for her help, they would never let him through, as the gun on his body would have been detected. While she paced in the office, the large smart TV in the office started to ring really and the words flowed smoothly into Ria’s ears. “THE NEW CEO OF THE WEST CONGLOMERATE WAS SHOT DURING THE PRESS CONFERENCE HELD IN THE COMPANY.”“THE NEW CEO, CHRIS WESTMINS

“Dodge the bullet!” Butler Rico’s voice was blasting through the device in Chris’ ears. However, the gun was pointed right at Chris’ head, how would he be able to dodge in time? It was all too sudden for Chris and when he saw Deco put his finger on the trigger and the security men tried to rush forward to get the gun from him, Chris did what he could do at that moment. In the next second, he grabbed Deco’s hand and turned the gun away from his head. But then the trigger had already been pulled and there was a loud sound of gunshot in the air. Bang!!And then another….bang!!The whole hall went into an uproar and the reporters scrambled around in fear while some were bold enough to stay and cover the whole scene. Even the security men were in shock and they stood still as the scene before them unfolded.“How dare you…” Deco shouted, pointing straight at Chris. “How dare you dodge?!” He was so angry that Chris had dodged the bullet and now, Deco was left with turmoil and an impend
Press Conference
“Ria is acting so weird.” Chris with his hands in his pocket stared at the glass words of the elevator. His expression was staring right back at him and he was so worried. Rico put a hand on his shoulder, patting it lightly.“Don’t worry.” Butler Rico assured. “As soon as you are done with the press conference, you can talk to her.” Chris nodded and the nervousness of speaking to the members of the press set in. He was a young man and they were definitely going to ask him silly questions and hard ones, in other to test his ability.And when the news hit the public, everyone was going to wonder if he was competent enough. Soon, they got closer to the conference room and the voice of the host flowed into their ears. “Now, let’s welcome the new CEO, Chris Westminster, who will take the West Conglomerate to the highest levels in the world.” Instantly, everyone burst into a round of applause and Chris was tempted to make a joke that they were already high enough and maintaining their l
Ria’s Encounter
Ria maintained a smile on her face as she walked straight into Chris’ office. As soon as the door closed behind her, her smile turned into a vicious one, scary and alarming. The skimpy dress she had on was worn intentionally and she was so sure Chris would turn her away if she dressed so provocatively. Swiftly, she sashayed toward Chris’ chair and sat back behind his chair, hissing sinisterly. The suffering she had endured while she was in captivity in the den of The Reds wasn't to be quantified. She felt like her soul left her body and the scar on her face was the last thing she was most pained about. She closed her eyes, reeling in what she went through at the hands of that masked man. “When you go back to him…” The masked man whispered in her ears as he pinned her down to the cold ground of his prison. “Remember that that bastard is the cause of this. If he had protected you well enough, you wouldn't be here suffering in my arms!” His words kept haunting her for the past two
Ria’s Strange Attitude
“What do you mean?” Chris asked. “What thoughts? Do you think I despise you for the injury on your face?” He arched a brow at her. Even though her words sounded harmless, he couldn't help but think they had a double meaning. “Don’t think too much, Chris…” She chuckled, waving her hands nonchalantly. “I will be waiting, we will leave together.” She stood up from the desk and sashayed toward the door. As she walked, Chris noticed she was dressed differently, not like the elegant way she used to dress. Now, she wore sexy clothes that showed off her curves and every other thing. He started to wonder if something had gone wrong with her or if she had been affected by her injury. Chris made a mental note to ask the bodyguards and servants assigned to her if they had noticed anything unusual. Thirty minutes later…“It’s time, Chris…” Rico came into the office with an eager look on his face. “Everyone is waiting on you…” “Alright…” Chris finished a few things on his computer before sta
Ria’s Is Weird
Ria had been discharged from the hospital for two days and things had been calm on The Reds’ side. However, Chris had his eyes on them steadily. “Any move from their side?” Chris asked Rico who stood before his office desk. “None for now.” Rico shook his head. “Like I said, The Reds wouldn't dare to attack us and if they do, they are at a disadvantage.” He assured. “But we can never be too careful…” Chris shook his head worriedly. He had not trained enough yet to lead an attack and he was currently swamped with work. “I know your concerns. All you have to do now is work and head to the base to continue your training. Remember, you said you will achieve your goal in six months. Time flies much more than you think.” Rico said, feeling very concerned about Chris. “Alright.” Chris nodded, with a serious look. “Let’s get things done then. What’s on my schedule?” “You have a press conference soon. Your father wants you to be announced as the CEO.” Rico dropped a bomb on Chris and he l
Fatal Blow
Chris sat beside Ria’s bedside in the private hospital. He looked calm but his heart was in turmoil. The more he thought about what he had asked Rico Axe to do, the more he felt like he had been too forward. He didn't think of the pros and cons. What if Rico Axe wasn't able to get out all alone? What would happen if Axe died? Of course, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself. He let out a tired sigh, feeling overwhelmed. He just needed a day of rest at this point, but it seemed rest was not for him the moment he stepped into this new country. He was so lost in thought that he didn't notice Ria had her eyes open.“Chris…” She called out weakly, her eyes blinking slowly. Immediately he heard his name, his head whipped to look at her. “Ria, are you okay?” He asked frantically. “I will get a doctor…”He was about to rush out of the hospital room but Ria held him back. She held onto his hand so tight that her fingers were digging into his skin. “Please… don’t go... I am scared…” She

“Hello, Miss Genie.” Axe smiled, his eyes twinkling with mischief. Immediately, he drew out the gun he hid and pointed it at her. On the other hand, Genie was on the floor, writhing in pain. She felt like her back had broken in two and she couldn't breathe. “Who the fuck are you? Why are you not Dan? Where did you come from?” She asked, scrunching up her face as she tried to sit up. She wasn't even scared by the sight of the gun. “Are those not too many questions?” Axe chuckled and then sneered.“I say who the hell are you?” Genie yelled, feeling dread start to overwhelm her. If this was not Dan, then she was in deep trouble. “What do you think?” Axe smiled. “You were so confident that you had gotten Dan, thinking you fooled my boss, but look at you…”“My boss was right, after all, you are going to get punished.” Axe smiled, the scar on his face covered in makeup, was straining on the thick layer of foundation.He wanted to clean it off but he couldn't reveal his identity yet.

On the other end, the boss went quiet, as he had not expected that good news so soon.“Are you sure?” He asked. “Yes, boss!” Genie replied. “I am bringing him to the base now. You just have to tell me the location–”“No!” The boss cut her off, with a stern tone. “You can’t visit the base yet. You have not reached that rank yet.”“What?” Genie stuttered, her happiness deflating. She was just a spy to The Reds
