WHAT IF WE GET CAUGHT?

“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 started, frowning a bit more. “Listen, I went there, saw the president of Mega Corporation…”

“Omg! You saw the president?” One of Armstrong's damsels cut him short.

She thought no one knew the president yet.

They all rolled their eyes then turned to Liam who continued, without sparing her a glance. “We discussed and negotiated the contract. But just as the president was about to sign the papers, that imbecile, Byron walked in with a woman beside him… She was none other than the executive assistant to Mega Corp!” Liam clenched his fist then continued, “He is her boy toy, Granny.”

Samantha twitched her lips as she dropped her glass of water on the table, “Liam is right, Grandma!” She stood from her seat, explaining what happened at the restaurant.

“That uncultured gigolo even went as far as kicking my friend, her husband and I out of Fab.”

Liam nodded in agreement.

“Byron disgraced me, grandma. He didn't just spit on the Armstrong family, he ridiculed our family name. His sugar mommy had me beaten and tossed out of the building, banning our family, after all we did for that riffraff!” He added, seeing everyone frozen with shock.

“Jeez!”

Maggi's mouth fell wide open. Even the rest couldn't help it… most of them quickly turned to see her expression.

“Byron, had you beaten up?!” The old lady dragged every word, not hiding the displeasure she felt hearing that that son of a bitch didn't just have the guts to get her grandson beaten up but is also the reason they weren't able to seal with the almighty Mega Corporation deal.

Maggi's face was now pale, she felt like someone had snatched or probably stole something from her.

So, Byron already has a new woman so fast after they divorced? The woman is even his sugar mommy!

‘How shameless!’

She swallowed hard then stood up abruptly from her chair and silently walked to her room.

Was she jealous? No, the heavens forbid that she felt that way. Byron was a good-for-nothing idiot, why should she care if he had a rich sugar mummy?

Later that night, Liam walked into Maggi's room but didn't find her there, then he turned and saw a figure at the balcony.

He went there but she was busy with her phone. He wanted to call her name but noticed she was so engrossed in what was on her phone. His eyes widened as he saw what she was searching on the net.

[How gorgeous is the executive assistant of Mega Corporation?]

She scrolled down, zooming in and glaring at the lady's picture then suddenly she heard a familiar laughter behind her.

“Hahaha! Don't tell me you're jealous!” He laughed really hard.

Then she stood up, putting her phone into her pocket with guilt written all over her.

“I…I wasn't…” She tried to deny it but he didn't stop laughing.

“Seriously? How gorgeous is she? Hahaha! Is that how jealous you can be?”

His laughter was full of pain and bitterness. Though he was trying to hide the pain, it was obvious in his voice. The one he loved was jealous of her ex-husband's sugar mummy!

“Listen, instead of checking her up? Why don't we just sabotage their relationship?” He said, his voice firm.

Maggi glared at him, creasing her brows. “Hell no!” She tried to walk away but he held her back.

“Hey… Do you really want that bastard to slap us with all the money he's going to get from that sugar mommy of his?”

Liam paused then continued, “Do you even know how powerful that woman is?! She's the assistant to Mega Corporation's president! Think about it. Your Ex-husband will be living in wealth, we won't get that partnership, and it's going to feel like karma!”

He explained with a stern look while Maggi just crossed her arms over her chest, trying to think.

“Think about little Ava. She is going to suffer. We have already lost this bid, the business is going downhill. Imagine what will happen if he decides to come after us for what we did to him. It will be catastrophic. We have to do this,” Liam stated emphatically.

Maggi paused, thinking Liam was right. Besides, why should Byron be with a woman who was more beautiful, sophisticated, and powerful than her?

“What do you suggest we do to ruin their relationship then?”

“It’s really simple.” Liam moved close and whispered something into her ear.

Maggi furrowed her brows, “Are you out of your mind?! I will never do that. You better come up with another plan or forget it,” Maggie replied snarkily, her face etched with a deep scowl as she glared at Liam for even daring to suggest such.

Her skin crawled at the thought of a lowlife like Byron ever touching her again.

“Oh please Maggi, get off your fucking high horse. It’s nothing you haven’t done before,” Liam shot back. “Look, it’s the only way this can work.”

Maggi looked intently at Liam with furrowed brows.

“I don’t want to become a laughingstock. What if we get caught? That would even do more damage to us than Byron ever could,” Maggi voiced her worries reluctantly.

Liam let out an evil smile, “Not at all. I got everything under control.”

    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.

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

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.

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.

    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

    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.

    “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

    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….

    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

    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.“

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

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!

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?

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
