At the entrance of the Mega Corporation, a row of luxurious cars were parked and quite a number of them belonged to either the owner or members of the firm.
Judging from how expensive this car looked, Liam was sure the president of Mega Corporation was no ordinary man.Countless companies were seeking partnerships with them but most of them were rejected… given that the new president is odd.Liam heard the news, so before coming he had called one of his friends, Leo, who happens to be the company’s PRO and he was reassured that everything will fall in place.The shares Granny had promised kept ringing in his head as he approached the receptionist.He told the receptionist where he was headed then she asked if he had an appointment with the president.Liam shook his head and told her he was here for the bid.She gave him a quick once-over saying, “I'm sorry sir, but you have to book an appointment first before seeing the president.”He let out a deep sigh and was about to say something to her when he saw a familiar figure walking out of the company's elevator.“Byron?” He muttered more to himself with a confused look. His eyes left Byron's annoying face and fell on his outfit.He was taken aback. He tilted his head, glaring with his mouth almost wide open.Then he laughed and inched close to him.“Hey, Ex-convict! What is a poor lizard like you doing here?” Liam furrowed his brows, looking at Byron from head to toe.He couldn't help but wonder. This bastard must have stolen this outfit. There's no way in hell a poor fool like him can afford it.Byron laughed, “Lizard?”Liam was the last person he expected to see here, he had to admit, he was surprised.“Yes, you!” Liam made his voice even louder as he touched Byron's suit, “Wait…are these not mine! Don't tell me you stole my clothes! These are my favorites, you filthy thief!”Byron frowned. “I’ve always known you to be a dumb ass but you’re clearly not blind. We don’t wear the same size so how can I be wearing your clothes?”“Shut up you animal! Where else did you get this designer suit from? Come to think of it, what the fuck are you doing here? From what I know; Mega Corporation does not allow the likes of you entry into their premises!” Liam shot back. The smug look on Byron’s face was pissing him off.“There's no such rule?” Byron placed his two hands in his pocket, “Who made it?”“I made it!”Byron heard a voice behind him. It was Leo, the company's PRO and also the friend Liam had spoken to about the bid.Seeing him, Liam let out a devilish smirk.His ticket to kick this useless fool out and seeing the president of Mega Corporation to negotiate the bid was here!“You must be here to submit your CV for the janitor position?” Leo said to Byron with a stern look.He knew every member of Mega Corporation working in that building. It’s only obvious Byron is here for that spot. Because the janitor position was vacant and they needed one more person.He almost mistook him for a potential client until he heard Liam say he stole the suit he had on.Judging from how his friend sounds, it only shows that this man would only be a nuisance in Mega Corporation.“I'm not sorry. We won't be needing your services, so leave…” Leo said, nodding at Liam who had a smirk on his face… Leo knew how much Liam hated this guy ever since he got married to the girl he liked.Byron remained calm, “And why should I listen to you? Who are you?”What?Leo scoffed, “Liam, your Ex-brother-in-law is definitely deaf - listen, I won't say this again! Get lost!”“Hey Asshole! You heard the man… it seems you don't know who my friend is here! I'd take it as my unlucky day to have come across an housefly such as you, so read the fucking room and disappear! Like you don't exist!”Byron bit his lower lip, then turned to Leo saying, “Is this how you let your friends insult company staff for no reason?”Company's staff? How dare this man?Leo frowned, staring at Byron with disgust.“You fucking asshol…”Leo raised his right hand and was about to hit Byron but Byron grabbed his hands, cracked his joints and gave him two thunderous punches on his nose, causing Leo to stagger.Liam took two steps back, seeing Leo's nose bleeding uncontrollably. This single act got all eyes to turn to them.“Bastard!” Leo groaned on the floor with his hands on his nose, while Byron stood there like he never lifted a finger.Liam frowned and within a blink, he grabbed a cup of water from the dispenser behind him and was about to pour it on him when Byron knocked the cup off, causing the water to spill on Carol who just got out of the elevator.Woah!Loud noise was heard from the crowd as Carol's hair was half wet.Liam paused and immediately acted composed. He cleared his throat and pointed at the water on the floor.“Now get a mop and clean this mess like the janitor you might not be,” Liam said, helping Leo up.Byron scoffed. Then his eyes fell on Carol who was right behind him.Carol wiped the water off her face and turned to Leo, “What the fuck is this?” She asked, her eyes bloodshot.They got her wet!Leo shot Byron a harsh look and turned to Carol, “Madam Carol,” He started, bowing and dragging Liam to do the same.“This riffraff came to apply for the janitor position here but he stole my friend’s clothes and insulted us, so I wanted to teach him a lesson but he ended up slashing water all…”“Really?” Byron cut him short with a questioning brow before making a face at Carol who got his message.“Shut up or I might just slap you real good this time!” Leo hushed Byron instantly.“You tried to slap him?! Do you even know who…” Carol had to pause herself, remembering that Byron did not want his identity revealed.“Guards!” She yelled, her face turning red with anger.Six giant men immediately appeared before her, all going down on one knee and bowing to her.“What hand did you try to slap him with?”“Huh?” Leo asked in confusion. Was his boss mad that he slapped a common man like Byron, an ordinary live-in son-in-law, to his friend’s family? SMACK! SMACK!Leo received two simultaneous slaps from Carol as her expression hardened even further. Her eyes narrowed at him and her nose flared.Ah! He real
“What did you just say!” Grandma Jane asked after dropping her fork. At the Armstrong mansion, the old lady sat at the dining table, staring intensely at Liam who looked extremely displeased. He had to admit it, his blood was boiling and he wanted to explode! How the hell could that lady make him do that in public? What was making him even more pissed was the fact that that stupid oaf, Byron, patted his head, calling him a fucking good boy!He just didn't get it! Who the fuck was that woman? And how in hell did Byron get close to someone that powerful? Even his friend who is the company's PR0 obeyed her like she was the president herself.At some point, he almost thought she was the president but everyone knows Mega Corporation's president is a man. ‘I smell something fishy!’ He thought. But he wouldn't give Byron the pleasure of having the last laugh.He cleared his throat then glared at Maggi and the rest before turning to Old lady Jane, “It’s all Byron's fault, Granny.” He star
Byron was about to go to bed that night in the rented condo he was living in when his phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and it was none other than Maggi. He frowned but he picked up the call, wondering why she would be calling him at this time of the night.“What do you want?” Byron said coldly from his end of the phone.“Byron…” Maggi let his name roll off her tongue in a seductive and coquettish tone.It was a trick she had honed over the years to manipulate him. She knew he couldn’t resist her whenever she spoke in that manner and she was right. Even though Byron was mad at her and wanted nothing to do with her, hearing her speak in that matter softened his tone, after all, she was a woman he had been in love with for years.“I asked you a question Maggi, what do you want?” “I know what I did is very despicable to say the least, and you have every right to be mad at me and never want to talk to me again but this is not about me, it’s about Ava, she misses you. She
Byron wakes up with no idea of what happened after he dropped the drink Maggi had given him last night. All he could remember was her trying to apologize before everything went blank. In the CEO's office at Mega Corporation, Carol's eyes widened in shock as she opened the email that was sent to her. Slowly, she raised her head at Byron who was busy going through the contracts he was supposed to sign for a new project. “Something wrong?” Byron asked, his aura chilling and his face still glaring at the papers in his hands. Carol gulped then reluctantly turned her phone for him to see. Byron raised his head and the files in his hands almost dropped out of shock. What?! It was a video of him and a woman in bed! He clenched his fist then stretched his hands to collect the phone for a close view. He narrowed his eyes and tried to zoom in but the woman was blurred out. “How did you get this, Carol?” He asked, his brows creased. “From a close associate, sir. The video is on
Shell-shocked, everyone stared at Byron, their mouths wide open with a complicated expression. Liam's eyes darkened. An apology conference? He must be out of his goddamn mind to give them such conditions. How can a poor loser who once lived by the Armstrong family's grace say such a thing? Old lady Jane bit her lower lip, staring bitterly at Byron who simply ignored the look on her face. While Liam was trying to control the urge of slapping sense into the fool's head. He stood from his seat and pointed his index finger at Byron, “Are you mad?! Or you're just out of your mind? How dare you give us such conditions? Do we look like beggars to you?” Liam roared, his voice sharp. “There’s no way in hell, I and my family are going to kneel before a disgusting lowlife dog like you!” Byron ignored him, adjusting his tie with a calm expression, “My rules; invite all the press and different reporters to the event. Lastly, it has to be tomorrow.” Byron said, rubbing his palms. He e
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! 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
