“A code red?” Bashan whispered to himself as he got off of Camilla. “A code red with the Parker family is only possible if the members of your family elders and the patriarch himself are present.” He spoke these words while gazing down at Camilla. “What’s going on?”Camilla glared up at her fiancee, the hatred swimming just beneath her eyes. “I have no idea.” She then got up and gathered her ripped dress, heading to her room to change. “But if it’s a code red with my family, then I have to be there as the heir to the empire. I’m going with you.”About an hour later, the engaged couple arrived at the estate that had been purchased by the Parker family after the engagement between Camilla and Bashan Khan had been finalized. True to their words, they did find the elders of the Parker family and Camilla’s parents showing up there.Usually, the private estate would only be occupied by the head of the branch of the conglomerate being established in the Middle East. As for Camilla’s parents,
Before Bashan Khan could turn his angry attention to his fiancee, Mariona King spoke up. “Young Lord Bashan Khan, if you read through that file, you will understand why we’re taking this chance with the McArthur Conglomerate I rr the Arab Coalition. No matter how many years we spend here post-establishment of the branch, we will always be considered outsiders. We accepted the deal with the McArthur Conglomerate also because it gives us so much advantage in our homeland. Business-wise, I hope you truly understand.”“Lies!” Bashan Khan quickly countered as he glared at Camilla’s parents. “I refuse to believe any of this until I have proof.”That was when a different voice reached everyone’s ears, pulling their attention.“Then what about me as proof? Is that enough for you?”The voice made Camilla’s heart tremble as she recognized the overly familiar tone. Praying to the heavens that she was not hallucinating, she slowly followed the direction everyone else was now staring at to find a
“Hey!” William suddenly clapped his palms at Bashan Khan’s direction. “You seem to have a lot of pent-up anger. You’re in desperate need of venting out. How about another match? The last time you fought me, I was not at my best, which is unfair.” He then pointed at Bashan Khan. “You and I, a wager duel, right now.”Bashan Khan calmed down once he heard these words and he let out a laugh. “You want to fight me? Sure, no problem! But the wager better be worth it.”William went right to the point. “If you win, I have the authority to nullify the McArthur’s business agreement with the Parker family. That way, the Parker family will have no choice but to give in to your demands. In other words, they’re all yours.”“William, what are you saying?!” Camilla was shocked at William’s words. Then William stared at her with an ominous gaze, containing a silent message that she quickly understood. William was urging her to trust that he knew what he was doing.Bashan Khan didn’t catch this, though
It turns out that those who had arrived with William were actually Abigail and over thirty McArthur bodyguards disguised as businessmen and women. Abigail and her team suddenly dashed forward, catching even the special soldiers off guard. Abigail and her team moved towards the soldiers with pre-planned tactics. They quickly weakened these soldiers before injecting something into their bloodstreams. This led to every single one of Bashan Khan’s soldiers screaming in pain before they fell straight to the ground unconscious.“Wha…. What’s happening?!” Bashan Khan gazed around at his fallen soldiers in utter shock before turning to William. “What did your bodyguards do to my soldiers?!”“They simply returned the favor. Or have you forgotten what you did to my bodyguard when you attacked my club estate?” William gazed annoyingly at Bashan. “I’m simply giving you a taste of your own medicine.” He sneered.Bashan Khan had lost miserably. His men were down and he couldn’t physically fight W
A week later, Camilla confronted William about his true identity, gathering a lot of clues from all she knew following her rescue from the Middle East. That night, William confessed his true identity to Camilla as the grandson of Billiard McArthur and the heir to the business empire. Everything finally made sense to Camilla, but she promised to keep William’s secret.Months passed by once again and graduation was getting closer. It was around this time that Woodruff decided to bring his twin sons and daughter into the company as executive figures. Unfortunately, he couldn’t do this without the McArthur family’s approval, as they owned a significant portion of his company. Therefore, a meeting was scheduled.The Camillo family had no idea that this would be the day things would be revealed.They arrived at the McArthur estate and were led to the patriarch’s office after waiting for so long. Finally, they got in to find…..“William, what the fuck are you doing here?!” Wilson glared hat
The intense glare of the high noon sun was unrelenting on every single area of Bel Air University – an elite ground for tertiary education granted to only the wealthy kids of the city.A six-foot-tall young man was heading towards the university’s exit on foot when he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket. He picked it up to hear the distressed tone in a familiar feminine voice. “Oh my god! William, you finally picked up. I’ve been trying to get to you for half an hour now. Didn’t you get my texts?”William’s brows furrowed. “Wait, Tracy, calm down. I left class less than an hour ago. What’s going on?”“William, you need to come to the estate right now. I just got home to find my dad yelling at your mom. Then I saw his goons going inside the house to pack out her belongings. William, I think my dad is throwing your mom out of the house.”William’s heart froze as his eyes stared into space. “What? Your dad wouldn’t do that. Why…” He was struggling to form coherent words when he sudd
Ever since William and his mother got thrown out of the Camillo Estate, William quickly hunted down extra jobs in order to provide for both of them; one of his part-time jobs is a cleaner at MURKY CAFÉ. This café not only earned him a living, it was also convenient working there as it was close to the university.He had clocked in for his three-hour shift for the day and he began mopping the floor as multiple customers came and went.“Watch out!”The sudden warning had just reached William’s ears when a solid object smashed against his face and something extremely hot was poured down his face, making him yell in pain and fall to his knees. He opened his one good eye, as the other one had turned bruised, to find a broken ceramic cup on the floor. He realized the hot liquid burning his face must be the hot coffee.“Dude, you gotta watch where you’re going next time.”William looked up to find Wilson and Donald standing over him with evil smirks. He didn’t notice when they had entered t
When William had gotten that gig, he was elated. All his life, the highest salary he had ever earned was fifteen dollars an hour, and this gig is offering twice of that. He immediately accepted the offer. Later, he found out these top-tier party hosts were Donald and Wilson and he realized the offer had been a trap. He had already accepted the offer though, and the person who sent him the offer had made it clear that he would be affected if William didn’t show up for the event. William was sure the manager had been bribed by the twins to pull him into this trap, and yet, he decided to look at the bright side. As long as he survived tonight’s torture, he might end up getting as much as three hundred dollars. It’s the weekend and night parties among the wealthy students of Bel Air University tend to stretch up to ten hours. He decided it wasn't all bad.Once he arrived at the event, his job had begun immediately, and so had his tortures.“Hey, mop boy! Clean this floor!”“Mop boy, go
