2025-02-16 06:53:29Mirabelle 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 he is a delivery guy.” He directed his eye to the floor to see the smatched pizza on the floor. “Did he come to deliver this to you?” He pointed at the pizza. “You mean the guy that tried to rob us? He must have disguised as a delivery guy to carry out his mischievous act!” Sir. Hex stated convincingly. “Rob?” The commander repeated, a hint of suspicion in his voice but he dared not intercept him because he knew he'll face a bitter consequences. “I think he's a criminal because he also tried to rape my lady here.” He pointed at Mirabelle who started shedding fake tears immediately just to make everything convincing. The commander exhaled deeply looking down from the window. “ He must have jumped from the window thinking he'll escape without a scratch.” He turned to Sir. Hex and bowed. “Am sorry for the inconvenience sir. We'll make sure to strengthen our security more. We'll leave now.” He walked out, followed by his men. Mirabelle exhaled in relief and collapsed on the bed after the men left. “What a relief.” She breathed out. The ambulance drove to a hospital where Marcus' body was deposited in the morgue. Inside of the morgue was dark, creepy and silent. Suddenly, a black smoke evoked from Marcus's body and passed through the closed door to outside. *** In a strange city, several kilometres away from beacon city. A lifeless body washed off at a seashore by the sea tides. Cuts and stabs could be seen on the body of the unknown lifeless man. He looks like one who was killed in a battle. The black smoke from Marcus entered through the nose of the man and gave him life. The cuts on his body surprisingly healed and the man coughed awake. On the muddy and wet shore, he looked around to see nothing but water. “Where am I?” He muttered, his eyes scanning around the strange environment. “How did I get here?” The last thing he remembered was falling from the window of a building. How come he woke up at the shore of a sea with blood on his cloth? He thought. Unknown to him, he had reincarnated into the body of another man and he was yet to realize it. He stood on his feet to feel the cool night breeze on his face. Memories of what happened flooded into his brain. “Mirabelle!” He gritted his teeth angrily, remembering her betrayal. “You must have your revenge on her!” A strange voice came in the silence. “What was that!” Marcus looked around in the silence to see nothing. “Did I just hear something?” The only sound he heard was the splashing of water. “I am the All-powerful system! You awakened me and I am here to serve you master.” The strange voice startled Marcus. Marcus went dumb, thinking critically. Was he dreaming? He had only watched something of this sort in movies hence it seems he's acting in a movie. “How are you going to serve me?” He spoke up with doubts in his voice if he'll hear the voice again. “You’ll complete a task after which you'll be rewarded for it. Failure to do it will lead to a more difficult task!” “Reward? What kind of reward!” Marcus swallowed hard, his curiosity growing. “Money.” The voice said. Marcus gulped down saliva. The evening wind had his hair dangling backward. Everything felt surreal. “Are you for real?” He gulped again. In the stillness and tension, Marcus heard a shout for help coming from a distance. “Your first task is to save the girl and help her get revenge. You have just 20 seconds.” The system voice came again. “What!! Are you kidding me!! I don't even know where the girl is! Damn!!” Marcus lamented, instinctively running towards the direction of the voice. He ran blindly, his feet leaving footprints behind on the sandy soil. With his steps he took, the voice became louder. “Help me! Help!!” The noise was coming from a building some metre away from the sea. Marcus got the door panting heavily with both hands on his knee. “10 seconds left!” “Shit!!” He kicked the door open forcefully. Surprisingly, the wooden door totally broke away from its hinges, hitting down two men who were trying to sexually molest a girl. “How dare you, rats!!” Marcus jacked one of the guys up with an unimaginable strength. He gave him a punch in the face sending him crashing through the wooden wall of the building. His body created a hole on the wall. Seeing the act, the other man shivered and ran out fearfully. Marcus rushed to the girl on the floor. They had torn her clothes in such a way that part of her thigh was exposed. “Are you okay?” Marcus asked warmly, his gaze settling on the girl who should be 16 years old. The girl nodded. “Thanks sir.” Her voice was barely audible, shaking with fear. Marcus stood up and stretched his hand for her to grab. She looked at the hand for some moments with hesitations in her eye before grabbing it. “What are you doing here whe..” Marcus was saying but he was interrupted by the system. “Mission complete! Good job host. $2 million dollars had been deposited to your account.” “What!..oh..I mean..yeah..” Marcus was shocked. He tried to compose himself before the strange girl who couldn't hear the voice of the system because only Marcus could. “Is everything okay?” The girl who later introduced herself as Lizzy stared at him wondering what came over him. “Oh yeah…I am.” Marcus stuttered, trying not to get suspicious. Just then, something beeped in his pocket. He touched it to feel something that had the shape of a phone. He dipped his hand into the trouser and brought out a strange phone with the picture of a man in a military outfit smiling with a woman and a little girl. Marcus frowned, his gaze firmly fixed on the screen looking at the family picture. He wondered how he got the phone but something more interesting caught his attention on the screen.

Impossible!!! Marcus's eye widened in shock, an unbelievable look glistened in his eye which settled stagnantly on the screen. 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

You scoundrel!!” The fat woman growled. “You think I'll never find you!!” Her voice dripped with hatred. “Today is the dead end for you!!” Her harsh voice startled Lizzy, sending shrills of fear through her spine. 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

Kane wasn't an ordinary bodyguard, his brother is the largest shareholder holder of Twinkles hotel which was why he's so arrogant. His brother couldn't take it when he heard what happened to him. Immediately, he called him on a video call. Kane laid on hospital bed with a heap of bandage around his head. His face had swollen, leaving one of his eyes bigger than the other. He could feel his brother boiling in anger at the other end of the video call. “Who the heck did this to you!!?” The brother sparked with anger in his tone. Kane wanted to reply but felt a burning pain in his mouth which couldn't allow him to speak. He twisted his mouth, trying to nurture the pain as he managed to say. “It’s a guy brother. I don't know his name. He just walked up to me and started hitting me.” Kane said without narrating the full story of what really happened. “What nonsense!! I’ll deal with the idiot who dares mess with you!!” He blurted with gritted teeth. He couldn't hang it around his neck,

Marcus snorted, casting the duo a menacing gaze. “If you think I'll do that then you must be joking!” Marcus stook a step closer, his gaze intimidating and fierce. “Do you think this is about your money huh? Is your money worth my sister's life!!” Sir. Hex smiled at his bold confrontation. He held him on the shoulder. “You know what young man, in this life, only money can solve everything. Do you know why some patients die in the hospital? It's because they have no money to treat themselves. Now tell me, can money buy life or not?” He dropped his hands but the smile remained stagnant on his face. “Someone who has no money is a dead man!” The smile on his face suddenly changed to a frown “Apologize now or face the brutal consequences!” Marcus shook his head without moving an inch. “If you think your money can buy life then you are a joker and you’re the dead man here because you have nothing but you're yet to realize it.” He retaliated. Sir. Hex laughed out loudly. He scann

The 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.

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

“I knew it! He's just an empty barrel polluting the air.” He said amidst the cracking laughter.Marcus gritted his teeth, his urge to show Sir. Hex his place clawed back into his heart.

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.
