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! Get off my men
Byron arrived at his father's house the next day. 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. This was the Uber driver that
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
