2025-03-04 17:14:45The building of the zenith bank towered up in the sky, reflecting the ray from sunlight because it was made of gleaming glasses. At the middle of the building is the letter ‘Z’ stylishly emblazoned on it which symbolises the word zenith.
Fleets of cars, each speaking of the presence of elites, spark under the ray of sunlight, catching the attention of passersby. Bodyguards dressed kitted in black with a pistol on their waist stood at both sides of the entrance. Their hugeness and the fierceness of their as they darted their eyes around for any suspicious movement could ignite fear in anyone. Marcus in his shabby and withered dressing stepped down from a taxi with Lawyer Badmus and the other men. Sir. Hex followed them in his own car which he drove through the gate and parked among the other cars in line. He's not there for any transaction but to witness Marcus's getting embarrassed. He glanced at Marcus as he trudged forward towards the door, his pride flaring and his confidence noticeable from his quick pace. The guards, recognizing him, bowed for him, their faces beaming with a welcoming smile. “Welcome sir.” They chorused and opened the door for him. “Thanks.” He smiled, his head swelling with pride. He took a last glance at Marcus and smiled at him as if daring him to enter the bank. Confidently, Marcus approached the guards while Lawyer Badmus and the other men stood under a shade, watching him intensively. “This is not a hospital! Back off!!” One of the guards yelled at him, firing an aggressive gaze. Marcus's face contorted into a frown. “What do you mean! This is clearly a bank and I am here to lodge a complaint! Are you in any way referring to a customer as a lunatic!!” Marcus growled, his anger flaring. The Guards who were clearly irritated by his dressing gave him a condescending stare. “Back off now or you'll be forced to!” The other guard chipped in furiously. Marcus shook his head, his frustrations mounting and anger simmering just below beneath the surface. He gritted his teeth. “Listen!! I am here to rectify my account. Here, check my phone..” He took his hand to his pocket to bring out the phone but the guards halted him harshly, suspecting he's about to bring out a weapon. “Hands in the hair!! Now!!” They barked at him and sharply, they pulled out their pistol and pointed it at him. Lawyer Badmus and the men gasped where they stood. Marcus looked around to see crowds had gathered around, whispering something he couldn't hear in the air but from the derisive look on their faces, he had a clue that his presence vividly irritates them. “Your hands on your head now and go on your knees!!” One of the guards thundered, his hand gripping the gun tightly in readiness to open fire on Marcus at any suspicious movement. Slowly, Marcus raised his hand like a criminal caught at a crime scene. Before it could place it on his head, a mature tall man, impeccably dressed in a white suit and sparkling shoe came out from the bank. That is Han Caulfield. The manager of the bank. Hardly does he step out of the bank except if an emergency case arises. He had seen from the control room what was happening. “What is happening here and who is this young man!?” He directed his gaze to the guards after glancing at Marcus. The guards had lowered their guns and quickly they composed themselves, revering the presence of the manager. “He just came out of the blue saying he wanted to rectify an issue in the bank. He clearly doesn't look like a customer sir!” Marcus snorted and rendered a sharp reply. “Out of the blue you say! Did I drop from the sky or what do you mean by that particular statement?” He frowned and turned to the manager. “These men here are clearly unprofessional! They pointed a gun at an innocent customer. They should be arrested now!” The manager exhaled, his expression apologetic, trying hard to mask his doubtful and suspicious gaze as he was completely turned off by Marcus dressing. “I am sorry about that sir but are you sure you're at the right bank sir?” He raised his brow. Marcus nodded with a slight frown. “Alright. Follow me sir.” The manager led the way into the bank. Fresh air from the Air conditioners cools Marcus's skin as he steps into the bank lobby. The air carries the thick smell of varieties of cologne which wafted into his nose. On the counter were bankers professionally seated behind the desk, dressed in a crisp white shirt with a black suit over it. No queues but customers could be seen seated in the lobby, waiting for their names to be called. They were rich men and women, each handling a suitcase in twos, threes, fours!! Marcus didn't bother about the condescending gazes that bore into his skin as he followed the manager into his office. The man sat behind his desk which had his name boldly engraved on the nameplate on the table. “Han Caulfield.” Marcus read in his mind. The manager offered him a welcoming smile. “You may have your seats sir.” He gestured at a chair opposite him. “Thanks sir.” Marcus took the seat. The manager leaned forward on the chair and cleared his throat. “What is the issue sir?” He stared at Marcus, his gaze lingering on his shirt. Marcus reached out for his phone in his pocket to hear the man saying. “Are you in any way in the military?” Marcus raised his head with a light frown. “No sir. Why do you ask?” He stared at him. “Your shirt. It's military wear. I have a brother who has this similar shirt and he's an army of Stormtroopers, a powerful military sect with an extraordinary leader. Unfortunately, their war lord, Laurent Augusto was killed at war.” The manager explained a story Marcus never asked him but how will Marcus know that the man the same man the manager talks about was the exact man who he is now– the man who his soul penetrated at the shore was Laurent Augusto! Meanwhile, Mento got home and met his father, the governor of lagoon city in the living room on a call. The man frowned and ended the call immediately, seeing his son's face swollen like a punching bag. He approached him hastily and said with a worried tone. “Who the heck did this to you!!!” He roared, his voice dripping with anger. “It’s a guy dad.” Mento fumed in anger too. “What!! A guy did this to you. Did he not know who you are!! Did he wish for death!! Who the heck is the bastard!!!” Mento retrieved his phone and showed the video where Marcus was slapping him to his father. Governor Gavin's eyes furrowed. His whole body trembled as if he had just been hitted by a thunder bolt. Fear which Mento had never seen in his father's eye flashed across it! The phone slipped from his hand, hit the floor and shattered to shreds! “Him…him??!!” His voice came shakily like he had just seen a ghost.

Marcus froze! The scene unfolding right before his eyes was unbelievable. His whole trembled along with his lips like someone who swallowed a hot food particles but no! That was not the case. The scene displaying before him was made his heart hurt badly. His right hand held the door knob while a carton of pizza rested on the other hand. His hand suddenly became weak and the pizza slipped from his hand, crashing to the floor in such a way the pizza scattered all over the floor.

Mirabelle and her new lover rushed to the window to see crowds gathered around the car with cops trying to disperse them. Their Siren wailed continuously in the air. Mirabelle gasped with both hands covering her mouth. She knew the police would soon come to interrogate them. Sir. Hex on the other hand had an indifferent demeanor. He was as calm as a stagnant water and that's because of his high status in the city. He's not only rich but famous. Just as Mirabelle thought, police barged into room 207 with torches flashing from their gun which they pointed at them. “Hand in the air!! You're under arrest!” Their commander instructed, pointing his own gun too. “Sir!!” He called surprisingly after recognizing Sir. Hex. “Lower your guns!” He ordered him men and the men did as instructed. He stepped closer to them and bowed. “I never knew it was you sir!” He said after raising his head. He glanced at Mirabelle then continued. “Someone fell from the window and the receptionist said h

His jaw fell leaving his mouth open like someone who swallowed the whole watermelon. “$2 million dollars!!!” He blurted in surprise, startling Lily who turned to him with an inquisitive gaze. “$2 million dollars!!” She took a step closer, stretching her neck to the phone but Marcus sharply kept the phone and forced a smile to look less suspicious. “Huh! Did I just say $2 million dollars?!” He chuckled and continued with the fabrication. “I mean..I have 2 million followers on TikTok.” He swallowed hard, his gaze meeting Lilly's whose eye grew wider. “Wow!!! You must be a celebrity on TikTok!” Her brow arched, seemingly confused as she stared at Marcus intently as if trying to remember if he had seen him before. “But I have never seen you on TikTok once! I know virtually all the celebrities on TikTok.” Hearing that, Marcus swallowed hard. Obvio

She shivered with her eye casted downward as the woman had swore to disgrace her so she began shouting. “This filthy sandbag just damaged the expensive gadgets I bought! She's nothing but a little rat who causes trouble around and she must pay for everything….” The fat woman continued ranting, her voice attracting more attention to them. Customers and workers present there gathered around the scene. Whispers and murmurs of abuse polluted the once serene atmosphere. If Lizzy was an ice, she could have melted because the embarrassment was too much for her. Each whisper cut through her heart deeply, making his heart ache bitterly. She felt tears threatening to spill from her eyes. A droplet of tears tickled to the floor from her eye. Marcus gritted his teeth angrily whe

The two guards stood before Marcus, stopping him before he could take a step out of the door. They gripped their baton tightly as if waiting for a command to pounce on him. Maverick tightened his grip on Lily's wrist staring back at the men confidently. “What is this all about?” He glared at the men, his grip firm on Lizzy's wrist. “It’s about you.” Mike's voice came from behind before he totally came into view and stood before him. “You need to tell me who you duped with such a huge amount of money.” Marcus frowned. “How the heck is that your business?!” He glared at him. Mike Chuckled and took a step closer to him. He was determined to make Marcus get embarrassed one way or the other. “I see you're the stubborn type. You'll confess once the cops get here.” Mike had earlier called the cops, informing them he held a suspect hostage. Marcus gritted his teeth. Mike was trying to falsely accuse him and that was one thing he hates most!! His anger spiked, expressing boldly on his

News about the change of ownership of smart tech had gone viral. Some wondered who could have pulled such an incredible transaction string. Some ladies had already planned on how to meet the secret billionaire and start a relationship with him. Marcus was seated at the backseat of a taxi with Lizzy beside him. He stared out through the window watching cars and pedestrians along the road. Lizzy on the other hand stared at him, wondering who exactly he was. Only the humming of the car engine filled their ears. Marcus noticed the lingering gaze so he broke the silence. “Stop staring at me that way.” He said calmly without turning to her. Lizzy leaned forward to say something but a breaking news coming from the car's stereo interrupted her. The broadcaster was saying thus; “....smart tech has been purchased by an unknown billionaire. No one knows his identity yet but people believe he's incredible, a somebody ....” The broadcaster was still reporting but Lizzy wasn't listening anymor

The taxi stopped at the gigantic gate of Twinkle hotel where Marcus wanted to spend their night Lizzy. Both stepped out of the car after paying the driver with extra tips. Twinkles hotel is not the kind of hotel for ordinary people. Those who patronize the hotel are top and rich men in the city. The hotel is no place for pauper and the management had made it a top priority to scan customers, based on their appearance, a way to make sure the rooms are made available for only rich customers. The workers are smart and professional. Even to be employed as a cleaner in the hotel, such a person must have some satisfying skills. “Wow!!!” Lizzy's mouth fell open, carefully taking in the opulence of the hotel. It was a majestic hotel, a five story building seated in a U shape in the expansive compound, each room reflecting light from within. Not only did it look like a royal castle in the eye of Lilly but also, Marcus wondered if the structure staring at him is paradise itself because

Ava, the manager of the place, had seen what happened from the CCTV camera transmitting live video to her office. So she rushed out of the hotel in heels with two nurses rolling a wheel bed behind her. “Take her to the hospital now!!” The nurses carried Lilly from Marcus and laid her on the bed. Their next destination became an emergency ward which they rolled the bed into. A doctor soon entered the ward and Marcus watched from outside with an unstable mind to see the doctor doing his best to revive her. He rubbed his hair haphazardly, a feeling of disorientation cruising in his body. He rested his back on the wall of the passage in the hospital, tapping his feet on the floor continually like a man whose wife is in labour. Marcus rushed to the doctor when he came out of the emergency ward. “How’s she doc? Is she fine now! Can I see her!” Marcus threw millions of questions at the doctor. The doctor exhaled deeply and stared at Marcus for some moments. “She sustained a fatal head

Marcus nodded, his determination resolute, not deteriorating a bit!“I’ll send it now.” He said curtly.In the still silence which evoked tension in the atmosphere, Marcus types away on his phone, his eyes glued to the screen. The bank app resurfaced on his screen, the multiple zero staring back at him, a reminder that his life had changed drastically overnight, from a poor delivery guy to a trillionaire. The thought alone sent shrills of happiness and satisfaction through his body.He punched in the account number meticulously and clicked on the transfer icon but an error message popped up on his phone: “This account has been frozen!!” Marcus frowned, staring at the screen momentarily. Sir. Hex seeing the look on his face angled his neck forward slightly to have a glimpse but Marcus shifted back, concealing the phone away.“I am sorry. An error message just popped up on my bank app.” Marcus glanced at the lawyer who's doubt has heightened. The other men who had come with him, tappe

Mento turned, his eye red like a hungry predator, casting Marcus who had just Pokenosed in his affair an aggressive gaze.“Let go of me you bastard!!” He forcefully flung his hand away from his hold but Marcus gripped it tightly refusing to let go. The smell of alcohol hit Marcus' nose which made him twist his face in annoyance. Obviously, Mento had drenched his system with alcohol and he's blaming the poor lady for his misfortune.“How dare you drink and drive!!” He forcefully released his grip on Mento making him stagger backward a bit. Marcus stamped toward him and slapped him. “How dare you attempt to hit a pregnant lady!”Parrr!!! The slap landed on his cheek, pushing him backward. His trousers totally fell off his waist, revealing his underwear which shows the uncommendable size of his dick which curled like small doughnuts in the underwear.What a humiliation being faced by Almighty Mento!Some girls among the clustered crowd giggled, their voices amusing as their eyes went t

She is my daughter!The revelation came as a shock to Marcus, sweeping him off his feet. Before he knew it, the woman slumped to the ground, having felt the legs weakened, too weak to carry the weight of her body as the trauma of the situation pressed down on her but Marcus held her before she could get to the floor.“Are you okay ma?” Marcus held her up on both arms, staring into her teary eyes. From the close proximity, he saw the exact image of Lilly from her face– Her pointed nose, sharp blue eye, small lips…they look exactly like Lily's. Could she really be her mother?! Marcus wondered, still confused.Marcus led the woman out of the ward, holding her hands tenderly as if she was her mother. Oh no, he's an orphan who knows nothing about the whereabouts of his family right from childhood. Both juxtaposed on a long chair in the lobby. Marcus glanced at her to see the traces of tears still on her face.He swallowed hard, his mind spiralling with doubts, imagining the possibility

“I have another plan.” Mr. Joe, one of them chipped in with a factitious deadly smile crossing his lips. Everyone turned to him to let the cat out of the bag. “We’ll set him up. He's not going to escape it.” The man said, his tone laced with the sinister intention in his mind. “How?” Sir. Hex adjusted enthusiastically on his seat, his inquisitive gaze settled on Mr. Joe. Mr joe stood up and walked to him. He leaned closer to his ear and whispered into it. “What!!” Sir. Hex exclaimed with a widened eye. “Is that going to work?!” “Trust me. He's not going to escape it. Let's make that a plan B.” He smiled. The other men wondered what the plan was. Nonetheless, if it'll work perfectly to humiliate and make Marcus hit the bottom rock as planned, it's a good one and a bad one for Marcus. Back at the hospital, Marcus entered Lilly's Ward. The beeping of a heart beat monitor caught his ear as he approached the bed where she laid and stood before it. He stared at him with a painful h

The video had gone viral with many people streaming it. People couldn't see Marcus's face because the camera only caught his back, keeping his identity a secret. People love him more even without knowing his identity. Inside of a long bus were passengers watching the videos too.“Isn’t he the guy called the nameless billionaire from smart tech?!” A boy said beside his friend, watching the video from his phone too.“I don't think so..hold on..I think he's the one. He was wearing this Same shit.” His friend observed smartly, his eyes narrowed to the screen.“But why will he wear the same old clothes and claim to be a billionaire? Isn't that suspicious?” The first boy Said with a slight frown.“I think he loves his identity to be kept secret. He's nameless afterall.” The second bit smiled.“Not just nameless, a nameless billionaire!! I want to be like him!” The first boy punches the air happily.“Same here!”***Sir.

Just fire him!” Marcus cut her off, his tone dismissive and cold.The doctor quivered with fear. He battled within himself, his heart shaking with thoughts, whether to fall to his knees and apologize to a poor Marcus who he just found out to be his boss or to keep mocking him like he was doing earlier.Ava was more shaken! Seeing the stunning and fearful look on their faces, a satisfactory smile tugged at Marcus lips.“I said fire him!” He repeated apathetically, dipping his hands on his pocket and staring at Ava to carry out the instructions. “Or Are you also going to disregard your boss' command?” Marcus chuckled inwardly, flattered by his own utterance. The confidence and power that his utterances exude now is astonishing. He's no longer the poor delivery guy who licks boots just to make a meager amount, he's now extraordinary.Ava's lips quivered to follow Marcus's command. Seeing that, the doctor almost collapsed in fear. His family depended on him. Oh no! His 8 years of strugg

Unscathed, Marcus returned to the hospital. He once again stood before the window of the emergency ward to see Lilly resting on the bed, her eyes shut in unconsciousness. Seeing her in such a deteriorating state, Marcus' heart bled painfully. Her health condition seemed not to change a bit.“You’re here Mr Marcus.” The voice of the doctor in charge of Lilly's treatment came from behind.Marcus turned to see him staring at him, his expression was pitiful and helpless. “I’m..I’m so sorry to announce that the free treatment charge for your sister has been withdrawn. You need to start paying for..” “By who?” Marcus interrupted him, a hint of anger in his voice.“I don't know sir..only the manager knows.” The doctor said, his voice wavering with anxiety.“Call me the manager now!” Marcus instructed authoritatively, the command in his tone amazed the doctor.
