“Ah…” Niko was in pain as he lay on the hospital bed where they'd rushed him to, “Vikkie’s gonna pay for this!” He managed to say out of anger! He couldn't remember who took him there but he knew for sure it wasn't his cheating ex “No one betrays Niko Foster and gets away with it, especially not the ones I trusted.” Niko was hurt not just by the wounds, but also by the fact that all these years, he'd been foolish enough to believe that Vikkie cared about him “She turned her back on me and watched that fatso spit on me. They shall all pay!”

The door to his room creaked open and a nurse walked in. “What?” Her eyes widened in surprise as she recognized Niko. She was Vikkie’s best friend and they always gossiped about him, she'd even told Vikkie to dump him many times before it finally happened. “Well look who it is, the Lord has finally delivered you to me, to specifically deal with you, fool.” Nurse Emma said with a smile curling on her lips.

She quickly reached for a syringe knowing that Niko was so weak and didn't really know what was going on, he kept speaking to himself in the darkness of his eyes being closed.

As Emma prepared the injection, she couldn't stop smiling “I'm gonna mess you up Niko” She whispered to herself “When you leave this hospital, you're gonna be a paralyzed man ha ha.” She said preparing an overdose of succinylcholine, a paralytic agent that's used to induce temporary paralysis, giving an overdose to Niko would surely result in prolonged paralysis and even death “yeah Niko, this is how much me and Vikkie hate you.”

Just when she was about to inject him, the doctor walked in.

“What are you doing Emma?” He noticed she was up to something fishy.

"I-I was just about to give him his medication.” She stammered, quickly hiding the succinylcholine behind her.

“You can leave, I'll handle this myself,” he said firmly, dismissing her with a nod.

Niko had never had such a bad day in his entire life, the day moved from getting cheated on, to being humiliated, dumped, beaten up and then spending a huge sum of money on treatment “Shit man I hate this day. And I'm gonna pay back everyone who contributed to making it a bad one. I'm gonna start with Vikkie and then that arrogant fat man she sleeps with.” Niko said angrily as he arrived at the small apartment he used to stay in. He picked up the keys from under the flower vase he used to hide it, and tried to open the door but it didn't open. “What the hell’s going on?” He tried again but the door still didn't open. “What's wrong with these damn keys?” He was super frustrated following everything that had happened “Stupid keys!” He angrily hit the bunch on the ground then kicked them away furiously.

“Your door lock has been changed!” A voice said from behind and Niko turned immediately to discover it was his landlord.

“Good day sir.” Niko greeted, trying to calm himself.

“Good? Ain't nothing good about the day Niko, your door lock had been changed, that's all I came to tell you.”

“But why’ you change my lock though?”

“Cos your poor ass refused to pay the damn rent.”

“But my properties are in that room Mr. Pewdishman.”

“I don't give a shit! If you don't pay the rent, I ain't giving you the new keys to that room until it's 12:00AM.”

“Who does that? That's not gonna happen!”

The day looked far to be over and Niko only saw more trouble coming, he always worked hard to pay his rent on time, this was the only time he'd missed paying, it was due just two days ago and Mr. Pewdishman was already on his neck, “Why are you doing this?” He asked.

“Listen to me Niko, if you don't pay me that damn money in two days, you'd come back to this house only to meet all your stuff outside.” He said tossing the keys to Niko “this is the last time I'm gonna be this nice, next time I show my face here, it's either I get my money or I kick your butt outta ma house!” He turned and walked out angrily.

“Shit! I'm messed up!” Niko’s backside landed on the floor out of frustration, he looked to his left and saw his neighbors laughing at him, a latina in her twenties and a skinny white girl with alot of piercings on her face, “he looks like his world would turn upside down if we deliver Vikkie’s message to him.” One of them said laughing. They were so loud that Niko could hear them, “What message are they talking about?” He wondered.

“Quickly let's go give him the heartbreaking message ha ha,” The Latina said bringing out a large box, “bring out your phone let's record his reactions and post it on social media ha ha…”

The girls brought the box to Niko and dropped it carelessly in front of him “Take this.” They said.

“What's this?” Niko’s forehead squeezed.

“A smart person would open it up and see for themselves instead of asking stupid questions.”

That just triggered Niko, “What the hell did you say to me?” There was anger in that voice, he wasn't gonna let all these people keep trying to match on him like that. “Say what you said again and I swear to God you're gonna wish you never did.”

“You wanna lay your hands on a woman? That's pathetic, you're surely abusive!”

“Well call me whatever you want, but if you dare trigger me again you're gonna have a taste of me.”

The girls could feel the heat coming right from Niko’s body, that young man already had enough going on and he could unleash the anger he'd been holding in on anyone, they better not be the ones.

“This box contains everything you've ever bought for Vikkie, she said we should give it to you and tell you it's completely over between both of you.”

Niko went straight to pick up the box, took it aside and set it on fire “I don't wanna hear anything about Vikkie, I don't wanna hear anything about love!” He said looking at the flames of fire “I'm in a different phase of life now, the phase of making everyone pay!”

Immediately Niko said that his phone beeped with a new message, “this better not be a useless text.” He reached for the phone in his pocket, looked at the screen and was taken aback “What? Is this some kinda joke?” He couldn't believe what he just saw. He stretched his eyes to read the message again and it was from his bank.

    “What? This has to be some kinda prank!” Niko kept looking at the credit alert, wondering “who would send such a huge amount of money to me? And why?” He asked out loud and the girls heard him. “Ten million dollars? This is some crazy ass amount of money.” he couldn’t even tell if he was being loud or not but yes he was and the girls became more curious “Wait he's got 10 million dollars? Girl, we gotta seduce this dude, let's apologize for our behavior.” one of them whispered to the other's ear.Niko had never seen such an amount before, he'd never earned up to two thousand dollars at once, and it was hard to believe this. “You should spend that money, Niko.” The latina said, trying to be nicer than she really was. “What money?” Niko turned back to look from the corner of his eye. “The 10 million dollars” She winked. “Look at these thirsty girls, already being nice to me after hearing about money.” Niko mumbled then said “I don't know what you're talking about.” He spit on the bur

    The early hours of the morning weren't the same as they've always been for Niko, he couldn't get enough sleep and all he could think about was the mysterious transfer of money into his account and the voice of that random caller telling him he knows so well about him and his family “That man better not be playing games with me.” He muttered getting out of bed. “Four O'clock I need to be at the Winxel building, man I'm so nervous right now.” He stepped out of the house seeing his Latina neighbor doing some exercise on a mat placed on her corridor. “I hate this girl but I gotta give her credit for her daily workouts. Good determination, bad girl.” He briefly watered the flower at his backyard and before he could go back into the house he saw a black SUV approaching with speed “Who the hell drives this crazy in the morning?” He wasn't about to get an answer. The car powerfully stopped infront of him after a crazy drift, the doors opened and three men rushed out all dressed in black and

    “What?” Niko couldn't believe it, “My brother?”“I'm your elder brother!”“My elder brother? You're a liar!”“Well you believe what you wanna believe fool.” Zayne hissed. “I don't have a brother.”“Well this is it, I was adopted by Mr. Foster Kinon, our father. He took me into his family as a baby and I grew up believing I was his legitimate son, enjoying his riches and building up my confidence, knowing fully well that I'll one day inherit all of his riches and good name, but in the past few years, I noticed that dad was busy investigating so hard about something. He was so obsessed with this investigation to a point I noticed it and I decided to eavesdrop all his conversations and secretly read all his files and messages, and it is at that point, I got to discover that I am not the biological son and he has been seriously searching for his child to inherit all of those companies I helped him build. Who does that? Huh? And now I've finally been able to trace you, Niko Foster, the su

    “I gotta hurry up and meet this man before the kidnappers come here to get me again!” Niko rushed into the shower and was out in a flash. He looked at the table knife close to the teapot, fighting the temptation to carry it in his pockets. “Sometimes I wish I had a gun to protect myself from all these fools.”He hurriedly put on a simple outfit, rushing to the mirror to look at his face, eager to meet the mysterious stranger at the Winxel building. “I thought this was all gonna be some prank but now it's getting serious. These dudes wanna take my life over a fortune I know nothing about.” He fell to the temptation, he slid the knife in his left pocket “just in case.”His mind raced with thoughts about the stranger who'd been speaking to him on the phone, “I still can't get why or how this person knows so much about me. Well I guess I'm gonna find out soon. Just as Niko reached for the door, his doorbell rang, making him freeze immediately. “Oh shit! That must be the kidnappers! They

    "I ain't lying, you'll understand when I explain" she replied, still smiling. "I am a woman.” “You care to explain this whole twist to me?” Niko took out a handkerchief to clean the sweat on his face, the twists and turns were already too much for him. “I used a male AI voice to speak to you over the phone." Aaliyah explained. “Oh shit” Niko stared at her, “ I guess the world is too advanced, it's all getting scary.” Aaliyah laughed. "But… Why did you use an Ai voice to speak to me though?" Niko finally let the question out. She crossed her arms and nodded toward the Winxel building. "Your father owns the AI voice company, and I wanted to show you just how realistic our technology can be. I used it on purpose to introduce you to one of the many innovations you're about to take over.”Take over? “They already want me to take over a company? Man… This is happening so fast.” Niko took a deep breath, then smiled nervously. Aaliyah turned to check the time on her wrist watch, and t

    “CEO?” Vikkie asked mockingly, “Are you referring to Niko as a CEO?” She laughed out loud, not believing it. “Maybe he's the CEO of broke people ha ha.” Trevor joined in the mockery. Vikkie moved closer to Niko saying “Hey are you maybe the chairman of Pizza guys association?” She enjoyed doing this, making Niko shift backwards. Aaliyah could see Niko struggle to hold himself, he was obviously angry and had already set a reputation for not letting things slide easily. Aaliyah knew he would strike if the annoying talks from Vikkie kept coming, so she held him by the hand saying “Let's get the fuck outta here Niko. They're gonna regret this soon.” She turned, leading him away. “Who's gonna regret? We ain't regretting nothing, and you guys better stop wasting your time, you're not gonna get a job here.” Vikkie shouted at them as they walked away. They thought Niko and Aaliyah were there in search of a job, just like them. Vikkie and Trevor exchanged glances and laughed at each othe

    Trevor rose up from his seat in panic. “Why are you standing? Where the hell do you want to go?” Vikkie asked, trying to drag him back to his seat, holding the sleeve of his white shirt “Get your ass back down Trevor.”“Don't speak to me like that! I wanna go ‘nd apologise to Niko.”“Oh hell no! You ain't doing that shit! You ain't gonna disgrace me like that!”“What the hell do you mean?”“Niko is my ex and you are my man, so you can't go begging my ex for forgiveness, where's your pride?” Vikkie’s voice got louder, it was all slowly becoming a yell and the people around could notice the tension. “Listen to me Vikkie, I am a man and I take drastic measures when necessary.”“What you wanna do is not necessary.”“I have waited for a very long time for an opportunity to work in this company and it's my only hope, I can't let it slide.”“Fine! Do whatever you want. But better not mention me in your damn apology!” Vikkie let go of him angrily, squeezing up her face as she turned away to

You think I’m scared of you? Or you think I’m gonna cry cos you wanna leave?”“I’m gonna let this slide right now. But I swear to God if you dare lay a finger on me again, I’m gonna forget the fact that you’re a woman and we’re in public, I’m gonna make sure you regret it.”“What are you gonna do huh?

Go ahead then, woman beater!”“Say whatever you wanna say, I don’t give a shit!” He turned back to leave, pushing away the chairs to make way out of the crowd. But Vikkie wasn’t going to stop talking now, not yet.“Well, leave now! Leave like you didn’t just tell me you loved me last night” She said at the top of her voice and the crowd we

    “This is got to be the most pathetic family I've ever seen” Niko spoke to himself angrily as he took out a phone to call Aaliyah. He walked out of the house, leaving them to their so-called peaceful family meal. “They call it a family meal but as soon as this new guy Orlando goes broke, they're gonna dump him and say terrible things about him.” He said to Aaliyah on the phone as their conversation got deeper. “But why did you go over to your ex’s house anyway?” She asked. “I left my laptop there while me and Vikkie was still together. It contains very important info, now I'm out of the house and I can't get a taxi to go back home. It's late and it seems all the taxis are gone.” He sounded angry, burning with thick liquid fire that could consume a whole city. “Where is Vikkie’s house? I'll come pick you.” She'd only known Niko for a short while but she understood him so easily. Niko couldn't believe it, “a good looking lady like Aaliyah isn't easily humble, considerate and ready t

    “When I walked in and smelt the stench, I knew you'd be here. What are you doing here? We have already broken up!” Vikkie started as she walked towards Niko with an angry face.“I know we broke up. I personally called for the break up so I remember clearly.” Niko said looking directly into her eyes as she walked closer like she was coming for a stare down.“Then what are you here for?”“I’m not here for any relationship stuff, I’m here for my laptop.” Niko said, resisting the urge to smell himself.“What fucking laptop?” Vikkie turned away, pretending not to remember, but knowing fully well she’s been using the laptop every single day. In fact she created a folder in that device where she saved nude photos of herself and different other guys she chatted with on social media.“What stupid laptop did you leave in this house?” She asked again, pretending to be more confused.“The same laptop you’re gonna use to meet another man on a dating site if I don’t take it from you.”“You’re a foo

    A man shot right before his eyes with a bullet that was meant for him, now a car exploding right behind him, almost claiming his and Aaliyah’s life. Niko was already reluctant about moving on with his new life of wealth “I just wake up one day to an alert of millions of dollars and all of a sudden, people want me dead. Is that the price I gotta pay for being rich? Then I don’t want it” he said in a low voice as he sat at the back of the Taxi, heading back home. He couldn’t get over the words of Aaliyah when she said “It’s only the beginning Niko, it’s normal to have enemies you don’t even know, people make you an enemy just because you’re rich.” They both decided to use a Taxi back home instead of calling a luxurious car from the collection of Niko’s father. There was silence for a while before Aaliyah finally voiced out “Mr Foster, your dad’s gonna be back in the country soon, he really wants to see you. He’s gone sick looking for you all these years.”“He isn’t in the country?”“H

    “Somebody call the police!

I was aiming for Niko.”“Well you hit the wrong man. Now let’s get the fuck outta here.”From that conversation, everyone could tell that there were two men on that roof, and they came to assasinate no one else but Niko Foster. "Whee-oo, whee-oo" the sound of police sirens quickly sorrounded the Winxel building and the snipers were still yet to get away. “Shit man, we’re baked! What the hell are we gonna do?” One of the bad guys said, looking around nervously.“There’s a ladder at the back, let’s go quickly. We can make away from there.”They left their weapons at the scene, running quickly to the only way that could be their escape route “
