Two days later, after Marvin was discharged from the hospital, he was driven back home. He was still sober because of the shocking revelation from his wife.
It was a dreadful reality because not only did he spend much energy and resources loving the wrong person, his wives revelation meant that he didn't have kids. After treatment was administered on his injured head, he had to be placed on therapy for twenty four hours. But was that enough for a man that had just lost everything? For a man that had lost his reason to live and love? "Hey man, I understand that you are going through a whole lot in your mind." Said Mr Fredrick. "But try not to be hard on yourself okay?" He continued. "Okay." Marvin replied before coming down from the vehicle. "I will be going now, if you need anything, just call me eh." Marvin nodded. And as Mr Fredrick drove away, Marvin strode to his opulent two storey building which was inside the Richmond estate. While he opened the gate, he saw a black G-wagon vehicle parked outside. That was strange because the vehicle didn't belong to him. Without much further thought, he hurried to the entrance and opened the house. To his greatest surprise it was empty. His furniture, his television, his home theater, winery, the decorations were no where to be found. "What the hell is this?" He exclaimed. "What on earth is happening here?" He knew something was not right. Was he robbed? That couldn't be the case because the Richmond estate was heavily secured and by the way, the environment still looked serene and undisturbed as always. However he was least concerned about the furnitures, TV's and stuff, and despite the pain at the back of his head, he rushed to his private room where all his research work, thesis and theories were. While he hurried towards his room, he prayed that those paper works of his were not tampered with because that was his life's work. It contained tech related research. In no time, he arrived the second floor where his private room was located, and what he saw was not what he wanted to see…his private room door which had been locked was open. Marvin entered inside the room at once and he got to discover that not only was it opened, it was also empty, save for the desk that contained his paperwork, and a hunky figure that was glancing at the white board that contained theories and advanced calculations. It was his father Mr Richmond. Marvin's heart skipped a beat and not only that, he jerked out of fear because he never expected his father in his house after what his father did to him. In fact, he expected to be welcomed by a lion than to be welcomed by the stern gaze of his father. "Dad?" Said Marvin. "You are really good with math." Mr Richmond began with a false calm. "Dad where are all my stuff?" Marvin looked serious. "What stuff?" "Come on dad, don't pretend like you don't know anything. Where are my stuff?" Mr Richmond let out a deep sigh and walked towards Marvin. "You say your stuff?." Mr Richmond furrowed his brows to the center. "When did you ever own anything in your life?" Marvin looked surprised because he found that question unnecessary, I mean even though the property was built by Mr Richmond, Marvin used his own money to refurbish the property and make it comfortable for himself and his family. "What are you trying to say dad?" Marvin looked confused. "You think that because you make some mediocre contributions to my company, generating chicken change that meant nothing at all and because you of that, you think you deserve to be regarded as somebody?" "You think that things you did or these scrap you call research is going to mean anything for my company?" Mr Richmond fury began to surmount. "Dad, please where are my stuff?" He decided to be calm just for the fact he wanted to respect his father. "I do not know about anything in this house belonging to you, because the money used in getting these things were generated from my company, my establishment not yours. By the way I had all of them burnt to ashes." Marvin gasped in shock. Did Mr Richmond mean what he was saying? Marvin couldn't believe his ears. "And by the way, you no longer own this house. Suddenly about three hefty men walked into the room with Daniel Richmond in their midst. Marvin was indignant upon seeing Daniel Richmond, but he was mad with rage upon seeing Martha and the two kids. "I wanted all your stupid stuff out so I could tear down this house and build a better and bigger house for me and my family." Daniel said proudly. "They deserve better, especially after waiting for me for all these years." "You surely have a good heart darling." Martha said and kissed Daniel on the lips. Marvin shook his head, disbelieving the fact that this was actually his reality. "Yes, we would be tearing down and we would build a mansion." Said Mr Richmond. "Dad, all these is insane." Marvin muttered. "Besides the fact that this wizzle here has synapticore force, he doesn't have the technical know how to run the company. He doesn't know anything about tech." Marvin said angrily. Mr Richmond's face was contorted into a frown. He moved towards Marvin and almost instantly his hand shot out like a flash. "SLAP!" Marvin's ear began to ring because the impact of the slap was great. "How dare you call my genuine son and heir to my company a wizzle?" Mr Richmond said with a stern tone. "You could never have been able to do what Daniel did for me." "It was because of him, the Bowen group ended their long lasted rivalry with us and agreed to partner with us, awarding us a contract of hundred million dollars." Mr Richmond said proudly. "Did you hear that? A hundred million dollars in just one day. Could you ever think of doing that? Could you have ever been able to fathom that?" Marvin was tempted to feel inferior due to the surmounting figures Daniel had generated for his father's company. But he knew his worth, he believed that no matter what they said about him, or what they felt about him, that never made him less than any of them. Since this was an unfavorable atmosphere with all the insults and belittlement from his father, he didn't see the need to remain in the building. "Dad, since you don't want me to be in this building, at least allow me to take my research work with me." "What research work do you even speak about?" Daniel asked. "Those paperworks on the table." Martha replied, pointing at the papers on the table. "And the write-up on the board." "Hmmm, interesting." Daniel strode towards the desk where Marvin's research was.Daniel's fingers brushed over the edges of the papers. His lips curled into a mocking smile as he skimmed through Marvin's meticulous calculations and notes."Marvin Marvin, you have really put a lot of effort into all this haven't you?" He mused, as his tone feigned admiration.His eyes darted back and forth over the equations, but the glint in his eyes betrayed his true intentions.He took one of the papers and held it in his two hands. "I wonder how it would be when it is torn into two." He said mockingly."Daniel, don't." Marvin warned with a voice that was firm but tinged with desperation. "Those are years of research, they are my life's work. You surely do not understand the magnitude of what you are doing."Daniel looked up from the papers, his expression shifted from fake curiosity to cold indifference. "Oh, I understand perfectly." He said with a smirk. "You see, Marvin, what you think is so important to you—these scribbles on paper—they are nothing but trash before my eyes."
A few days later, Mr Richmond was seated in his office, watching a hologram that showed how his production staffs were developing a Quantum Computing Algorithm.These were algorithms that could harness the power of quantum computing to solve complex problems, such as optimizing supply chains, financial modeling, or advanced data encryption.In a few minutes, Mr Richmond leaned back in his leather chair, his eyes narrowed as he focused on the hologram infront of him. With a deep breath, he raised his his hand to his forehead, where the synapticore mark began to pulse.As his fingers made contact, the mark ignited a blue light, bathing the room it's glow.The energy from the mark surged through him, connecting his thoughts with the intricate workings of the Quantum Computing Algorithms his team was developing.As the connection solidified, the hologram began to shift, displaying complex data streams and projections.With the aid of the Synapticore force, his mind raced through the poss
Marvin walked through the entrance of the company building to the reception. Upon reaching where the receptionist was and upon sighting him, her eyes were wide out of shock. "Good morning Master Marvin." She greeted. "Good morning Mrs Flora, how is everything?" "Everything is fine. How about you?" "I am good." Replied Romeo. "So sorry about what happened to you, I on you must be going through a lot right now." "I know Mrs Flora, but what would I do, my father has made his decision." Marvin shrugged his shoulders. "You know I really wish you had the synapticore force within you, you surely would have been a great leader." She was aware of how hardworking and passionate Marvin was during his time at the company. "Well, I don't have it." "About your wife…" "No Mrs Flora, don't go there, I don't wish to remember anything about Martha Arceneaux." Marvin interrupted. "I am sorry about that master Marvin, but what I really wanted to say, is that I have a niece that you c
Marvin's words hung in the air, and the mood in the room shifted. David who had been so confident, now looked a bit nervous.Marvin's smile grew, but there was no kindness in it.Marvin calmly pulled out his phone and started making calls. David watched him, confused and nervous, not knowing what Marvin was about to do.Marvin dialled the first number, and he spoke confidently into the phone."Hello, Mr. Charles Williams?""Hello Master Marvin, how are you?""I am fine Mr. Charles.""So what is it?" Mr Charles asked."Um Mr. Charles Williams, I just wanted to let you know that I am no longer working at Richmond Tech group. I think you should take your investments out of the company right away.""Marvin, this is sudden. Why are you leaving Richmond Tech Group? Did something happen?" The voice at the background sounded surprise."Let's just say that there has been a shift in the company's direction that I can no longer align with. It is a strategic decision on my part, Mr. Williams. I b
Marvin and his mother had relocated to Mr Fredrick's family home after they were sent parking from the Richmond estate.At the moment, he and his mom had nothing but a few thousand dollars in the bank, however Mrs Richmond's hopes were on the final court order to make sure that Mr Richmond had paid the hundred thousand dollars pre nuptial agreement.Now that all that was not forthcoming, both Marvin and his mother were totally dependant on Mr Fredrick and his wife who was a nurse. To keep himself busy, Marvin worked at Mr Fredrick's restaurant as a dishwasher. He had been working in the restaurant for two weeks now, but today was going to be very different.Marvin was done washing the first set of plates that morning and stepped out to get breakfast of toasted bread and some cheeseburger when he bumped into Braun Velcan. "Hey, who do we have here?" Said a surprised Braun Velcan."Good day old friend, longtime no see, how are you?" Marvin greeted with a smile, stretching his hand ou
After a journey of about fifteen minutes, Marvin arrived the corporate walls off Diamond Bank. At once, he alighted from the cab he boarded. Due to the impromptu call from the general manager of Diamond Bank, Marvin did not bother to change his drenched clothes. He didn't even bother to check himself as he was still clothed with his apron.After paying the taxi fare, Marvin immediately rushed into the bank. While he was at the protocol room, people looked at him with condescension and surprise.As Marvin stood in the protocol room, he could feel all eyes on him. His drenched clothes and apron made him to stand out among the neatly dressed customers waiting in the line.Within a few seconds, whispers and soft chuckles began to fill the room.A middle aged woman with a sharp nose and bright red lipstick leaned over to her friend and whispered loudly enough for Marvin to hear. "Is he the new janitor or something?"Her friend, a man with a thick mustache and a briefcase clutched tightl
Mr Benney the general manager walked straight to where Marvin was standing and shaked him. He was shocked at Marvin's appearance, but at the moment, what clouded his mind was the deal he wanted to get over the line with the person that intended to purchase the massive shares that Marvin owned."Hello Mr Marvin, you are here, we have been waiting for you." There was some level of concern in Mr Benney's voice. "Like I told you earlier on Mr Benney, one of your bankers here disregarded me, just because I had appeared in this manner." Marvin's tone was sharp, as there was a level of anger in his voice."Which of the bankers here disregarded you Mr Marvin?""This woman right here." Marvin pointed at the banker who had been awestruck ever since the Mr Benney spoke to Marvin with respect."This one?""Yes Mr Benney.""SLAP!"Mr Benney's backhand landed on the disdainful banker's cheek, causing it to redden at once."Are you crazy?" He snapped. "Like seriously, you had the guts to mock Mr
Braun was shocked and confused at the same time. He tried to think of the reason why a loser like Marvin would be in an executive office at this point in time, with this manner of clothing. "What are you doing at this place?" Braun asked. "For goodness sake, you are supposed to be washing dishes, and cleaning up dirt, not in the office of the general manager of Diamond Bank." Marvin didn't respond to Braun's questions, he just walked to the seat beside Braun, sat down and made himself comfortable. "Mr Benney, I came here for serious business and you decided to entertain a dirty looking pig of a fellow who came for a job interview alongside an influential and powerful personality such as myself at the same time? My God, that is an insult of the highest magnitude." Braun looked infuriated and also visibly disgusted at what had panned out. "You have coffee in here?" Marvin asked. "Oh yes, there is coffee." "Alright, let me have some of it." Marvin requested. Without any hes
