In the next few days, Byron was already at Gate Corporations. His identity unknown, and the actions he was going to take on the people who took the life of his father still lingered in his mind.

Otherwise, the months he was away planning all this would be a waste.

He had been working here for over two weeks. At first he was shocked when he was given the lowest position to work but since he was the founder, he didn't let it bother him.

At 4pm that evening, Byron checked the goods received today and packed up to finish work for the day.

Since he was a paid employee, he dressed as casually as the rest in order not to get suspected or anything.

“Good day, director Drake!”

“Greetings director Drake!”

Byron could hear the polite greetings from other staff right from where he was. Then suddenly, his door pushed open and a bald fat man in his late forties walked in.

“Are you free?” The man asked almost immediately as he walked. Causing other employees to murmur with envy.

Even Director Drake

    “Let's talk business. You may have your seat.” Lady Bianca said with a rather cold voice.“Waiter!” Drake raised his hand.“I'm not here for food, Mr. Drake. It's either we go straight to the point or this is canceled. Start talking… I wanna know when you'd be supplying the Captain store. How do you intend to go about the whole process?”Drake took a deep breath. That was the point… That was the main reason he had come here. He was an old man but the lady's tone made him uneasy. He didn't expect this to go smoothly but he also didn't expect this to go this hard as well. She wasn't even talking about a negotiation. Sensing this was going to be a difficult one, Drake shifted his gaze to Byron who was standing behind him. This is the particular time where Byron comes in. He needed that help now. If he had the knowledge on how to handle this and everybody gets what they want in the end, he wouldn't have let Byron in on this anyway.Lady Bianca cocked a brow and followed the line of Drak

    Byron narrowed his eyes as Lady Bianca raised her head to look at him again. She had this look like she just realized something.Suddenly, she brought something out of her bag. Byron could see that she was staring at a picture but he couldn't see who was in the picture. She creases her brows, looking up at Byron then looking back at the picture as if trying to spot the resemblance.“Are you by any chance Byron Smith? As in, son of the late Don Smith?” Bianca took a closer look, her face etched with an expression Byron couldn't read.“I asked a question first.” He said his voice was firm. Last he remembered, he was meeting lady Bianca for the first time and Drake didn't make mention of his name during this meeting to her. At least not one he was aware of.Even Drake calls him manager, rather than ‘Byron’ especially because he had a new identity and would love to keep it that way till he makes everyone pay!Byron's eyes darted at Drake who lowered his head, then to Maggie then to Lady

    Drake kept mute. He didn't know what to say to Byron. He really had no idea why Lady Bianca wanted him. All he knew was that she was in search of the man in that picture.At first, he just wanted to give it a trial as he wasn't sure the manager and Byron were the same person. Especially since the man in the photo had long shoulder length hair with no beards at all, while the manager behind him was bald with full beards. Even his brows were almost invisible…. Like he shaved almost everything, leaving just a little.He was the complete opposite of the man in the picture so he wasn't sure. But since Lady Bianca promised to get Derek to promote him and also a cheque to do it, he was more than willing.“Here–” Bianca handed him a cheque, and since Byron was standing behind him, he could see the amount written boldly in the cheque. 10.1 million dollars. Byron shook his head one more time with a dry smile. Drake was the Judas he never seemed to notice.Cunning Fox!“That's for a clean job.

    “The car keys,” Byron said and walked back to the driver's seat. Sara could see some money, brown envelopes and of course, a gun in the briefcase.“Where is the car taking us to?” She asked.Byron sighed, “This car was arranged for me by whosoever, I don't wanna believe it just yet.” He hoped. “Lady Bianca was supposed to take me in this car to hand over to someone…. There's an address in her phone, so I guess we'd just get there before she does.” He said, started the car then they zoomed off.After about a 50 minute drive, Sarah scanned the area and whispered, “I don't think this address is an apartment, house or anything close to it… it's an airport.” Sarah announced as the car stopped.Just then, they heard a phone ringing. “Is that yours?” Sara asked.Byron shook his head, “No, that's not my ringtone. I think it's coming from the briefcase.” He said and they both walked out of the car.“It's a private number. Do you think they could track our current location with this?” She aske

    “Excuse me… what are you doing here?” The man asked, raising his both hands as he saw the gun Byron pointed at him. “Don’t ask questions, just do as I've said and no one gets hurt.” Byron said and moved closer to the man. “I need you to call up to the tower with a message for H629Jk.” Meanwhile, on air, the pilot heard his radio from the tower. “H629Jk, this is an operative reporting from your tower, we just got word from another craft that your plane should be land immediately.” After listening to it, the assistant pilot looked around as if not understanding what he was hearing, they rarely had an immediate landing, then he placed his walkie-talkie close to his mouth, “Tower clear across the board here, am really good for landing?” As the pilot spoke, Byron and the man could hear from the radio. “Tell them they need to land at the south end, following emergency protocols.” Byron tilted his head, his gun still pointed at the man who had worry etched on his face. He shook his he

    Meanwhile, Derek was in his apartment, fuming with anger. He grabbed the nearest flower vase beside his TV and smashed it across his door.“Are you all fucking kidding me right now?!” He yelled on top of his lungs. “Are you telling me that that bastard had been working in Gate Corporations for weeks now and no one had a single idea!” What if Bianca didn't find out?Sophia, Alex and Richard all sat in silence. Beatrice wasn't here, she was at out, while they had to face Derek themselves.They hate to break it to her but they all saw this coming. They were aware that Derek was definitely going to find out sooner or later. It's been what? Just three weeks and he already found out.Will they be getting what Beatrice promised them? Because the one month she promised was now remaining just one week. But now that Derek had gotten the news, did they just waste three weeks of loyalty to Byron, or Beatrice for nothing?“Calm down, I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding, are you sure Byron and th

    Sucre slapped the tired man one more time before grabbing a seat then placing it in front of him. He sat face to face with Henry White who was tied to his seat and had blood dripping from his nose and mouth.“You love to get tortured, don't you?” Sucre said to him. “Make the fucking call!”Sara on the other hand walked over to the bathroom as she was starting to feel some kinda way due to the blood she was seeing from the man.He deserved it and more but for some reason, she felt like throwing up. She was a doctor and seeing blood wasn't new to her but she just had this weird feeling.“Are you okay?” Byron asked as he saw her right from where he stood.She nodded, “Yes.” Before walking away.Byron stood not too far from Sucre as he watched him trying to get the old man to make the call.Yesterday, he had expected Beatrice or Derek's men to come after them since they had what he wanted. Fortunately, they were able to shoot back at them and get over to this mansion at pinnock estate.Th

    Meanwhile, Sara sat on the chair Lincoln had placed opposite Henry and had been talking to him while Lincoln watched from afar.She held his phone that has been ringing non-stop for about 5 minutes now but he has refused to pick up.“Your boss has been calling a lot, they must be wondering where you are.” She said to him, looking down at the caller ID, it was Beatrice and Derek calling.Henry smiled faintly, “You're right. They must be wondering. The longer they do, the more danger you in particular are in.” Henry explained. She was the only female here, and since the men weren't close, this was his time.“Just call Beatrice and Derek then say what Byron wants you to say to them.” Henry laughed, “Then what? You'll let me go?”Sara cocked an eyebrow, “Never. But Byron would make sure you spend the rest of your life in a decent facility without a death penalty.” Sara explained calmly.“Hahaha!” Henry laughed out loud, “Whichever way. If I make that call…” his gaze fell on his phone on

  • THE END

    “Yes boss.” They replied and got on 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 in

  • 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

    “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

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
