First a stupid script, now platinum Media?

Liam dropped the script and narrowed his eyes at Byron like he was going to uproot his head.

He brought his phone out and quickly texted a particular number before walking towards Byron… Since Platinum Media was here, instead of his family getting humiliated… Why don't he just spoil the fun?

He clenched his fist and walked up to Byron, ignoring the camera's flash light that was almost blinding him as he approached Byron's seat.

Byron raised his head as Liam got close, smiled and lowered himself to whisper something to him, “You are nobody, and since you asked for this, then be my guest.”

Just as Byron was about to talk, Liam stormed out of the hall. Within a blink of an eye, there was a sudden black out which left everyone extremely speechless.

The Armstrongs were stunned, so were the guests and there was so much noise. They couldn't see each other as the hall was as dark as a cave.

Byron frowned. This wasn't the agreement. He reached fo

    Hahaha! Platinum Media was on live stream and was also busy taking pictures as the scene unfolds. Everyone had their jaws slack and were staring at Byron with total shock. Even Derek couldn't believe his eyes. Did Byron just humiliate his men by bitting and giving them a card to sort out the medical expenses?wtf! He looked down at Byron sitting on his men's head then whispered into Liam's ear, “You didn't tell me my men were here to fight a wrestler.” Liam was actually lost for words as his gaze was fixed on Byron. Byron had been living with them for years but he had never seen this side of him. Never had he even imagined Byron would be so strong to take down eight hefty men in less than five minutes. “Neither did i.” Liam replied still in shock.Derek knew who Byron was. He was the ex-husband to the woman he loves and he had waited forever for him to finally divorce his beautiful flower.Seeing the useless animal sitting on his men's head fueled his anger. “Hey!

He heard what happened to his mum when he got out of jail and hasn't had enough time to have a proper discussion with him.He sat at the chair opposite his father, Don Smith as he kept tapping his foot on the floor. Since he got back, no one was saying a thing about his mother's death not even his father. There was definitely something fishy and he needed to find out. “Dad, I really want to know the truth and nothing but the truth. What are the circumstances behind my mum's death. Why was I separated from her when I was young? What are the things that I'm supposed to know that I don't know yet?”Byron asked as Beatrice, his step mother dropped a cup of coffee for his father then gave Byron a dirty look before exiting the living room.He had to admit, he doesn't feel secure whenever Beatrice was around but he just couldn't explain why. Don sipped his coffee and sighed as if contemplating on what to say. “Lets wait till the night of

    Lady Jane grabbed the TV remote from the table and pressed the power button, switching it off as all what transpired at the conference hall was all over the news.Platinum Media sure didn't come to play. She twitched her lips, wondering who on earth invited them… the part where Liam and the rest knelt down wasn't excluded. Even the stunt that mother fucker, Byron pulled with the son of her potential in-laws was trending.Just then, Liala dropped the newspaper on the table for everyone to see. “Last night's event. It's on the front page.”*THE ARMSTRONGS KNEELING AT A CONFERENCE HALL* was boldly written on the front page. This was a huge mess to the company's reputation especially since they had a few hours to pay up their debts with Mega Corporation. Lady Jane glared at the newspaper with anger and so did the rest. On the other hand, Maggi paced back and forth not too far from them, her eyes fixed at the entrance door. She couldn't help but worry, Liam wasn't back yet and there i

    Then it dawned on him that Derek must have sent assassins to him. He took cover at the old car which was parked in front of the gate. In less than 2 minutes, nine different cars stopped at the front of his gate. The door to the cars started opening one after the other. Different men dressed in an all black outfit walked out with different guns. They filled Byron's gate as if shielding Byron from any attack. They raised their fires and shot back at the direction the bullets were coming from. The gunshots from the other end stopped then an elderly man with white hair, dressed in a suit walked out of the first car. Just then, another set of cars arrived at the front of the men dressed in all black.A Lucas walked out and furiously walked towards the elderly man with a gun in his hands. “How dare you shield my prey?!” Both men stood opposite each other with their different men standing right behind them.“No, how dare you, Lucas Stones.” The elderly man thundered, staring daggers at

    After exiting the estate, Byron looked up at Blake. “Thanks for earlier but… how did you find me.. you said you heard I was in danger? By who?” Blake was the owner of the place and Byron was just a customer who occupied one of the rooms, so how was he informed that Lucas was going to come?Blake waved his hands, “The good thing is that you're alive and unharmed. But listen, you need to be careful. A man as powerful as you shouldn't be walking without bodyguards…”‘Powerful as I am?’ Byron thought.He paused, staring at Blake as he spoke. The old man seems to know who he was.The man sighed and continued, “Am sure you know wealth and power comes with a lot of enemies even in your circle?” What? Byron feels the man knows something that he doesn't... but how? He's yet to reveal whose son he was but yet, Blake was speaking in the parable he understood.Byron nodded as the man kept explaining things to him until he arrived at his father's gate. Blake had advised him to be inaccessible. St

    Byron ordered a ride and as soon as the driver arrived, he got in and they left. Today he was going to get himself a car and some designer suits for his inauguration ceremony which is happening later tonight. Still on the ride, Zack, the driver noticed Byron was nodding his head as if enjoying the music. He looked at the rearview mirror and said, “Seems you're enjoying the music, sir.” “You can say that again.” Byron replied, almost singing along.Zack smiled slightly, “Then you must be an Eminem fan?” He asked, increasing the volume of music. This got Byron smiling real good.He had wanted to tell the man to increase the volume but he just wanted him to do it on his own free will. “A true fan all day everyday!” Byron laughed, raising his hands defensively, making the man laugh pretty hard.The driver really enjoyed his customer and so did Byron. At least he wasn't talking down on him. Byron had rarely had an encounter with a stranger that isn't scared to talk to him because of his

    As people were running inside and coughing, Byron was busy trying to squeez himself out. Someone or something might be in danger.At the moment he got out, he covered his nose. He could barely see through the black smoke.Then he saw the firefighters arriving. What in hell could have happened? They wasted no time in stopping the fire.“That man right there is the owner of the car.” A security who held a fire extinguisher said, pointing at a man who sat on the floor staring at the firefighters as they did their jobs. “I was so terrified, I thought we were going to be blown to bits!”Byron narrowed his eyes at the man on the floor. Without hesitating, he walked over to where the man was.When he got there, he saw the man being interrogated by a few police officers.“I don't know those men, they just left this with me and ran off after executing their plan.” Zack explained, his red eyes like he had been crying.Byron's heart sank upon hearing Zack's voice.

    Derek was the first to set his eyes on him. Lucas on the other hand just walked out of his toilet. Derek gulped as his eyes fell on the two lifeless bodies Byron stepped on as he walked in. After recovering from the hospital the previous day, taking revenge was the only thing on his mind. Luckily for him his father had his back. But what he doesn't understand is how the fuck his father's bodyguards were covered in blood on the floor and why was this terrifying beast in his father's office? “W-what… did you.. do to my father's bodyguards?” Derek asked as he realized their bodies weren't moving. Slowly, he raised his head at Byron then to his father, feeling more horrified. Did Byron kill their bodyguards? No. He shook his head and tried to remain composed. He could take Byron down with a snap of his finger, a fool like him couldn't scare him. “You should have come to me directly, but no, you chose to risk a poor man's life and source of livelihood?!” Byron said, walking up to

    THE END

    “Yes boss.” They replied and claimed in the truck, cutting the rope in his legs, causing Derek to fall on the floor. “Hmmm.” Derek groaned as his head landed on the floor. His body aching from the burns he had gotten due to the fire. He couldn't open his eyes as his eyes lid was closed, and squeezed together. He forced it and tried to see how badly burnt he was but he couldn't. He couldn't barely hear a thing to say the least…. He needed water but he couldn't talk. The heat he was feeling was unbearable. Suddenly, he felt his body being dragged on the floor. “What are you trying to do to him?!” Sophia yelled as Byron's men dragged Derek to the river side. “Shut up and watch!” Byron frowned at her. The river wasn't far from where they stood so they all turned and watched as Derek was dumb at the edge of the river. “What the fuck?!” “Christ! Jeez…. Oh my God!” Woah! Byron heard the three of them screaming as a crocodile jumped out of the water and dragged Derek's body into it.

    TORTURED

    “Raise your hands, you Moron!” Marcus, one of Byron's men, ordered Derek while Byron sat, crossing his legs with a smile as he watched Marcus and the rest do their job.“What are they going to do to me?” Derek barked, struggling to free himself from this white guy's grip.“It's a surprise!” Byron mocked.Marcus and four of his colleagues pulled out the rope before tying the end of the rope around Derek's both legs like a goat that's about to be slaughtered.“What the fuck is this, Byron?! Stop them!!!” Derek thundered as the smug look on Byron's face only irritated him.“I have your cousin! You kill or hurt me? You do the same to him!! I gave my men an order! If in 20 minutes they don't see me, they put a bullet in his skull!” Derek screams on top of his lungs.“It's funny how you think you still have up to 20 minutes to live!” Byron laughed as he watched his men tie the other end of the rope at the huge truck beside Derek.“Fuck!” Derek yelled as his head it hit the ground then Marcu

    LET THE WAR BEGIN

    The black dude with Sophia walked over to them, then Sophia pointed at Byron, “Hey the cards from him!” She commanded the man who ran past her, intending to grab Byron but then, the place exploded, causing his body to scatter all over, his flesh dropping on the floor.Though the bomb wasn’t designed to cause that much explosion, it was meant to kill just a person who gets close to the string! Sophia, who covered her ears due to the loud noise, felt something trickle down her face. She raised her hand to touch her face.“Christ!” She screams. The black dude's blood scattered all over her face.Meanwhile, Sucre was at the Jeep where Sara was, trying to untie her.“Where is Byron? Where is he?” Sara asked as Sucre helped with the rope around her legs.“He's trying to get this war over and down with. Once and for all.” Sucre replied.“And…. And Sophia?” She asked, getting down from the car.“With the explosion we just heard? She should be dead.” Sucre added. “Come, you're my responsibili

    STRING

    Byron arrived at the address he gave Derek. He got out of his car, handed the key to Marcus, one of his most trusted men. “The three of you get the five cars out of this vicinity. No cars should be seen here when they arrive.” He ordered, walking away while the rest of his men all surrounded the entire place just like he instructed them.They trooped in, hiding in the rooftop of the building, digging the sand close to the sea and burying themselves; in anticipation of what was to come. There were about a hundred and fifty of them, and they were all dressed in black. And had about three to four guns were with them.Their guns were fully loaded, and as they took their different positions, they set their guns in front of them, aiming it in the direction Byron, their boss instructed them.In about 10 minutes, the 150 men had successfully hidden themselves and when Byron turned to inspect the place, it was as calm and clear as if it was just him and Sucre that were present.“Brilliant, Byr

    LOCATION

    Sophia took her seat not too far from Sara who was tied to a chair. She could still remember when she arrived at Derek's residence, with the aim of ending his life for all the pain he had caused her but then, she yelled a chaotic noise, causing her to raise her head up to the balcony at the seventh floor. Derek's room.To her shocking surprise, Sara was jumping out of his room. At first, she thought it was ridiculous for Sara to be in her baby Daddy's room but then, she knew how much Derek was obsessed with Sarah, not knowing she was Sara, Byron's wife. An idea dropped in her head then she changed her plans. Why kill Derek and be jailed and still lose at the end with no money, when she could get someone else to do the job and still get a lot of money with her?It was then she turned and patiently waited for Sara to swing off the water before tailing her down to this small hut, without being noticed.“I'm sorry we had to meet this way, Sara….” Sophia smirked, her gaze fixed on Sara.“

    ORDERS FROM TWO ENEMIES

    “Ahhh.. ouch…” Sara cried.Not her stomach again! She had been protecting this one with her life. And now this monster wants to kill it before it even gets the opportunity to form in her stomach!“I'd kill you myself! Before you think of going back to that husband if yours, I'd gladly have your blood as wine!” He had a bloodthirsty look as he placed the broken bottle on her skin, slowly dragging it and cutting deep into her flesh.“No…” Sara whimpered as he cut her hands and her blood gushed out of her body.Enduring the pain; behind her, she placed her hand into her pocket, grabbing the pencil knife she placed there when she was leaving the warehouse. She knew dealing with Derek was a dangerous idea, but not being armed was a foolish idea.Without warning, she pulled and slid it across his cheek. Not satisfied with it, she raised her hand and stuck the knife into his chest.Derek gasped, “Shit!” He yelled as she stabbed him and tried to flee but he grabbed her by her legs. “Let me g

    Lincoln didn't realize a car had stopped behind him when he was trying to pass through the gate to go back and look for Byron who was obviously still in the yard, probably getting cooked alive.The sound of the burning place and the fire made it impossible to hear the cars driving towards him, not until a bullet crashed on his right hand. As he turned, he saw Derek pointing his gun right at his face.There was no time to alert Tbaj, he had gotten to his car and was still being shot at when Lincoln himself was pushed into Derek's car. It was after Tbaj was smart enough to zoom off, that Derek walked over to him to ask for Byron's whereabouts.“Oh, he's in that burning yard?” Derek laughed, “Hahaha! Funny!” He said coldly.“You must really think I'm a fool to believe that.” Lincoln shook his head, “I don't think you're a fool, I know you're a bloody big time fool! I even heard you're 39, it's only a matter of one year until your foolishness becomes permanent!” Lincoln thundered, his e

    BYRON’S REMAINS

    “If Byron's is in there….You can't get in!” Tbaj announced, his voice trembling.If both Byron and Sucre were in there, there is a big chance that are probably being cooked by that fire. Just by standing a few feets away, the heat was making his temperature higher than usual.“No, we have to get him!” Lincoln yelled on top of his lungs, his eyes dark with pain and bitterness! He was breathing heavily and sweating hard at the same time! “Shit… Byron! Can you hear me!” He shouted, trying to go over to the gate but the fire was almost brushed over him, but he was quick enough to dodge.He shook his head in frustration. But was determined to go get his cousin. The sight of how greatly the fire has spread across the entire place was to be questioned. Just a bomb couldn't do this! Something or someone definitely has a hand in this! “Don't! Lincoln, it's too dangerous! You wanna get your skin fried?!” Tbaj yells out, far from where he stood, still carrying an unconscious Vanessa in his ha

    “Don't fucking ask questions! Just fucking do as I've instructed, do you hear me?!” Drew barked, frustration evident on his face. He would be a dead man in ten minutes when the timer is off! And these fools are asking questions instead of doing their jobs! If only he could open his chest and tell them that they would be all blown to bits if this isn't carried out but that was going to put him in more trouble with Byron.“What? Do you want me to call the boss now and explain to him how you all are trying to discard and disobey his orders?!” Drew thundered.“Okay… relax… are you crying?” One of the men noticed Drew's eyes ask, concerned in his tone.Sucre resisted the urge of bursting out laughing. “Hold it in, Sucre… don't blow this up.” Byron whispers.“I'm trying..ha..” Sucre bit his lower lip, trying not to laugh. The situation was so fucking funny as he could see the bomb they set on Drew's chest was doing a great job. He must commend Byron for bringing out such brilliant ideas e
