Michael stepped out of his car, slamming the car door with a resounding thud, capturing everyone's attention in the cafeteria corridor. They all turned in awe at the unexpected sight.Michael Wayne, the campus student known for his humble demeanor and part-time work, was now emerging from a sleek Ferrari. Those familiar with him whispered among themselves, while others, unfamiliar with his previous life, stood frozen in disbelief.“It feels like I've been away for a year. It's good to be back from the suspension,” Michael whispered to himself, standing by his car and scanning the surroundings.“Don’t you recognize him? That's the campus student on scholarship, the one who worked at the cafeteria for his meals.”“Yeah, I remember him. He used to clean toilets to make a penny. But are we dreaming, or is this a scene from a movie? How did he get those clothes? And whose car is that?”Michael overheard some students whispering, but just as he ignored them when they usually humiliated him,
“I did that?” Diana gasped. She was trying to make it sound as if Michael was lying against her or something, but Michael remembered clearly. Even though it got on Michael’s nerves that she was trying to play tricks on him as though he didn’t know what he was saying, he still tried to be calm while he spoke to her.“You must be mistaken; I never really did that to you. Maybe you mistook me for someone else. I could never hit someone like you,” she said, trying to caress Michael’s chin shamelessly with her finger, and then Michael smiled gracefully and slowly brought her hand down.“No, I am not mistaken, Diana. We are not friends, and I don’t think that we would ever be friends. As you can see, I am trying to eat, so I will appreciate it if you can let me eat, please,” Michael said with a smile on his face, and Diana frowned. She was completely out of words; she didn’t know what to say. The fact that Michael wasn’t directly pushing her away but instead was only smiling while he pushed
As Michael's extravagant 2023 Ferrari 296 GTB eased through the school compound, it was like a scene out of a movie. Heads turned, and people were hit with a collective "whoa" as the car glided by. The air was buzzing with surprise and shock, and everyone had something to say."Did you see that? Michael in a Ferrari? Is this for real?""I swear, that car is worth more than my entire life. Where did he get it?"As the glass rolled down, and Michael sat there, all swanky and confident, people's jaws hit the floor. The school compound turned into a live commentary box."Is that Michael Wayne? No way, it can't be him. He's the janitor, right?""Wait, maybe he won a lottery or something. But a Ferrari? Seriously?"The car's interior was an epitome of luxury. Leather seats embraced Michael, and the gleaming dashboard hinted at cutting-edge technology. Yet, amidst the marvel, skepticism still lingered. Nobody could truly believe that it was him yet, some thought they were dreaming.Some folk
Michael found himself in awe, marveling at the glow that surrounded him as he stepped into his father's office."Dad, this place is like something out of a dream! Are we in a movie or what?" His eyes sparkled with wonder as he took in the luxurious features of the room.With a proud grin, Mr. Winchester clapped Michael on the back."You're absolutely right, son! And what you did at school today was nothing short of amazing. Thanks for giving everyone a moment they won't forget. This is just the beginning, Mike. Now, let's make a splash on the WINCHESTER TECH stage.""Wondering where I got the news?" Mr. Winchester said, seeing the surprise on Micheal's face."Yes dad, I'm wondering how you got the news and knew what happened in school today," Michael said and Mr. Winchester nodded."Ohhh... Your driver told me everything that transpired Michael. He told me how you embarassed your ex-girlfriend without making it look like you're embarasing her," Mr. Winchester said and Michael smiled.
Mr. Winchester traced his finger over the screen of his phone. Anxiety and weariness setting in. Anger rose within him as he became extremely worried. The fact that he couldn't even fish out his particular enemy who sent out the message was something that made him even more furious."They know about Michael," he murmured to himself, a knot forming in the pit of his stomach.He took a deep breath, exhaling slowly, struggling to catch the air into his lungs as the anxiety made it really difficult for him to breath. "Should I tell him?" he pondered, his gaze fixed on a distant point. "If I do, he'd lose the chance to focus on his newly found happiness, and then everything will be like it is beginning to shatter. The little joy he just found would be all gone," Mr. Winchester said.He thought about the consequences of shedding light on this before Michael. Getting to know that his life was in grave danger would make Michael really worried and it may distabilize him.Suddenly, the door
2 DAYS LATER"Michael Winchester? Of course, you are. I can tell from the resemblance. Please come inside, sir and ma," the shopping guide ushered Michael and his new girlfriend, Emily, into the mall."Mr. dad's secretary personally phoned the manager to inform him of your coming," the guide added as he walked Michael and his new girlfriend inside. The eyes had no mouth to describe the beauty of I.K shopping mall.The mall was regarded as the best on the continent. It was no place for the poor and average families to shop; the least cookies were sold for 10 dollars. People from different parts of the world traveled to shop in the grand mall.Though Emily was also from a wealthy background, she had never been to the mall before now. It wasn’t Michael’s first time, so his expressions were different; he literally shopped here every weekend since he met his father. Emily could not help but awe at every section of the mall they passed."Oh! Michael, this place is fascinating. They even got
"That is enough, Mr. Add the dress to my bills and replace the torn one with the same color; my girlfriend loves the dress," Michael finally spoke out. Every eye in the mall turned to him, looking at him with disbelief."Who is he?" One of the shoppers whispered. "You don’t know who he is? He is Michael Winchester, the only son of Gareth Winchester, the CEO of Winchester Technologies," the shopping guide responded.“Yes, it is true. He is the one that has been trending in the media these days. I was wondering where I have seen that face before,” one of the shoppers said in agreement.“You are lucky, girl. He saved you a lot of money today. You should go and kneel before him to thank him,” the shopping guide said as he went on to replace the torn gown.Though everybody, including Michael and Emily, had stopped looking and were doing their respective shopping, the shame on Sydney's face was still there.Angrily, she walked towards Michael and his girlfriend. “Michael Wayne, I didn’t say
The van rumbled along, and inside, Michael Winchester was between 5 thugs. He was kept in their midst and they all seemed pissed.Michael's entire body trembled with fear. Confusion gripped him as he had no idea where he could have gone wrong or hurt these me and eventually leading to him being kidnapped by them. "If you know what's good for you, don't even try to escape. For each failed attempt, you're going to get beaten up so bad you won't be able to move a muscle," one of the person's under a mask said to him and he gulped as the fear persisted.The particular one that spoke walked to a corner of the van and grabbed a really thick, black sack. Michael wondered what they were going to do with it until he realized it was meant to be used on him."No, no, no!!" Michael screamed.They put the coarse sack over his head and, he struggled to take it off but they hit him to weaken him."Hey, where are you taking me? Can you please tell me what's happening?"Michael pleaded, the urgency in
Mr Charles sat in the living room with a bandaged arm, watching the news alongside the Winchesters. The atmosphere in the room was filled with the aroma of relief and excitement. It was just few hours after the incidence at Arturo’s underground lair and their faces were all over the news. Michael made a chuckle as he switched from one news channel to another, their faces on any channel he switched to; the whole world was talking about them.This was not the first time he had appeared on the news but this was the first time he had received so much praised.“This ingrate! I hope he rots behind bars,” Mr Winchester said as the anchorwoman confirmed the arrest of the Chief Justice of the Federation.He was merely one out of the 250 EVA members, which included mostly government officials and other prominent persons in the country that were being arrested at the moment.The whole country was in uproar when the vice president himself was dragged out of the government house in handcuffs by M
Michael stood shivering his bones out with blood spilled all over his face and the gun he once pointed against somebody’s head now pointed in the air.To their greatest dismay it was Mr Jones that was shot by Arturo’s men. “Yo-you shot your own man?” Mr Winchester asked in disbelief. He could have instructed them to shoot Michael instead if he wanted, but he chose to order for his own man’s execution. “Yes I did, I was going to kill him anyways. His life ended the moment he let my sister to be killed by you and your men. I did not just expect his death to be this quick, your son false my hand,” Arturo responded coldly.There was no need for the gun in Michael’s hand anymore; his hopes of using the gun to escape died with Mr Jones. Now he must again face what was before him, so he dropped the gun to the ground slowly.“Did you possibly think, I will allow a single man step between me and getting my revenge on you? You underestimated my course, Gareth Winchester!”“When have you becom
The men reacted differently following the disclosure; Mr Charles and Michael’s jaws dropped and their throats went dry in fear. They could only wish the ground should open up and swallow them. They were startled not because they were standing face to face with the man who led EVA and controlled the whole government officials low-key, but the fact that their security men killed his sister and he was probably there to get his revenge on them.But Mr Winchester was kind of excited rather than shocked like the others were. “Arturo! Is it really you? Oh my God! Look at you! I should have recognized you earlier, you’ve grown to be a carbon copy of your dad. Come on, give me a hug man,” Mr Winchester said ignorantly as he opened his arms towards Arturo only to be pushed away.He was so caught up in the realization that the man was the immediate younger brother to his childhood friend Vincent, that he forgot the man he tried to hug was the one behind all the terrible things happening in their
It was of no use struggling, the men overpowered them and covered their faces so that they did not see where they were been taken.Though the car drove on for only forty minutes, to them it felt like forever. Who wouldn’t feel that way when being taken to the unknown by thugs with your face covered.The car finally halted and the men dragged them out as Mr Charles continued to throw empty threats like he had been doing for the past forty minutes. “You morons! Get your dirty hands of me. Harm a hair on Michael and I promise you will never see the lights of day again”. But it fell on deaf ears, the men continued pushing and dragging them where they wanted to without uttering a word.Finally the thugs stopped, they thought they had arrived the location the thugs were supposed to take them. Suddenly, an electronic beep echoed and they could feel the room descending; they were actually in an elevator.It took several minutes before the elevator reached the ground floor. It was like descen
They could not even consider the possibility of Mrs McCoy lying to them about the identity; the Winchester slayer had proved to be wealthy and Influential like they were told about Arturo Adams.Michael was deeply pondered, not for the fact that his dad was a hostage to a drug baron who controls the government but what he might do to him considering the fact that his sister was killed by their security.“What do we do now?” Michael asked his father’s emissary whose legs were already shaking like he had just seen a ghost, anxiety painted all over his face.“Come on Michael, can’t you see the man is almost wetting his pants? The mention of Arturo’s name has taken away his ability to even reason. But let me help you and answer the question for him; the only thing you can do now is return home, pray and hope he doesn’t kill your dad today, but for sure he will definitely kill him not even the almighty could prevent it,” Mrs McCoy said coldly as a wicked smile invaded her face.Mrs clinch
“Do you by any chance happen to know who this Winchester slayer is?” The inspector asked curiously.“No inspector, the Winchester slayer’s real identity still remains a myth to us. But we have come to learn he is not just rich but very influential as well; even the government officials are answerable to him,” Mr Charles said dejectedly.“There are billions of places where he could be holding Mr Winchester. Without knowing who he is, it’s almost impossible to find your boss. Do you at all happens to have any clue of how we might find him?” The inspector asked intriguingly but Mr Charles shook his head slowly.“I think I might know someone who might have a clue of who he is,” Michael said setting the men on their toes. “Mrs McCoy, am sure she knows who this Winchester slayer is,” Michael added.“I will send my men to bring her in for questioning, right now. Don’t worry she will definitely give us the information; even if it requires beating the hell out of her till she vomits it”.“No i
“Nonsense! Lies! I am not going to seat here and let you spread lies against me. There is no post or whatever, you are just making this up,” Mr Raphael said in anger as he banged the table with his fist before getting to his feet.“Yes, Mr Raphael can never abuse a woman; you are fostering lies,” one of the shareholders defended Raphael.Michael made another sly chuckle, “you think am making this up? Okay fine, Mr Charles please display the video before us,” Michael instructed and Mr Charles also made a sly chuckle as he connects the projector to the laptop.Within a minute Mr Charles was already done setting up all the necessary things and the video displayed before everyone in the boardroom.They all watched with their jaws dropped as Mr Raphael’s ex-wife was sobbing while putting her luggage in the trunk of her car before she drove off. The clip was recorded the day she left Mr Raphael’s house, 5 years ago.The video had garnered so much attention that it had more than 2 million vi
“What have you done, Charles! You should be smarter than this; why didn’t you phone me directly to confirm whether I was truly the one that sent them?Even if they are real police officers like they said, why would you let them arrest your boss without an arrest warrant?” the inspector asked almost like a scold.It is funny how the tables turned for Mr Charles; just few minutes ago he was accusing and threatening the inspector for sending police officers to have his boss arrested. But at the moment he felt nothing but guilt and anxiety for the fear that he might had handed his boss into the hands of fake cops.“Come on, inspector you can’t be that certain they were not real police officers,” Michael asked with a false chuckle as he tried to keep the hopes of his father being in the hands of real police officers alive.“Beat it Michael! If your father was in the hands of real police officers, his face would have been all over the news before you arrived the station; it’s been all over
“Look here inspector, we are not here to play games. You have exactly, 30seconds to release Mr Winchester to us or face the consequences,” Mr Charles said with a grim.The inspector’s face spoke his confusion “What are you saying Mr Charles, who would give me the balls to arrest Mr Winchester without a warrant?” He said with a puzzled chuckle.“Does this look like some kind of joke to you? For the last time inspector, where is Mr Winchester,” Mr Charles said furiously hitting his hand hard against the desk, making the inspector’s coffee cup rattle.“Get over yourself Mr Charles, you are overreacting. If your boss was truly arrested, then I promise you the police men are not from my station,” the inspector dismissed.“Wow! Impressive I must be mistaking then. What do you take me for, inspector? A fool? The police officers were clearly your men and they admitted that you; inspector Louis sent them.And their badges were clearly having 5th precinct station on it. Maybe you can also argue
