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. Obviously, Lilly is about to complicate things for him more. Before he could speak another lie, Lilly said with a brightened expression on her face. “I have always wished to meet a TikTok star. I'm glad I finally met one!! I'll search your username on my phone!!” She happily reached her pocket for her phone. Marcus's heart skipped! He didn't even have a good phone and neither did he have a TikTok app not to talk of having such terrific followers. The fabrication is digging more trouble for him rather than saving him from Lilly's suspicion. She looked at Marcus with an unwavering smile. “What’s your username on TikTok? He asked with traces of joy in her voice. Marcus's heart sank! His heart accelerated like a throttled bike. What would he tell her? Should he just tell her a username which he doesn't know if it exists. Oh no! What a dilemma! He suddenly heard Lilly grumble because she couldn't find the phone. “I can't find my phone. I think the men took it.” She said sadly. Marcus breathed out in relief and began to Walk out of the wooden building. “We need to leave here.” He could feel the cool evening breeze on his face as he walked on the sandy soil which leaves tracks of his feet behind. Lily also followed him behind, grumbling about her missing phone. Marcus shook his head as her grumbling became unbearable so he turned to her sharply. “You’ll get another phone. You're always vibrating like one.” He said with a hint of confidence in his voice as his thoughts drifted to the money in his account. He is yet to believe it and the only way to confirm the authenticity is by spending it. “Really!! You'll get me a phone!!?” She almost jumped on him as her river of happiness flooded heart. “I can't wait to have my TikTok account back!!” Marcus groaned when he heard her intention. “I hope she will have forgotten about it when I get her the phone.” He said under his breath. Still walking on the seashore, the breeze had their clothes glued to their body as they surged forward. Lilly didn't stop talking, following Marcus closely from behind, her charisma expressing how happy she is. “I know the Best gadgets stores in cloxx city! It's smart tech and gadgets!!!” Marcus turned to her with a mixture of surprise and confusion expressed on his face. ”Cloxx City??” He repeated strangely. Lizzy stood before him with her forehead knotted in confusion. “You don't know we're in cloxx city or what?” She spread her hands. Marcus didn't understand what was going on. First, he found a strange phone in his pocket and now lilly just told him he's in cloxx city which is several kilometers away from Beacon city. Furthermore, he looked at himself to see a military attire with blood stains on it on his body. He became more confused. He swallowed hard. “Of course I know we're in cloxx city.” He began to Walk again leaving Lizzy behind. “Weird!” she mumbled before following him. Marcus was yet to realize he's dead and only his soul evoked and settled in the body of a powerful man who was betrayed by his men and brutally murdered at war front. It was a soul reincarnation. They alighted from a taxi which took them to the main city. Lizzy paid with the driver with the last cash with her and happily propelled forward to the building of Smart techs and gadgets which stood in it's beauty and mighty some distance from the main road. The building is captivating just as the latest gadgets in it are. Still outside, Lizzy could see some of the devices from the transparent glass wall of the building. Marcus chuckled and shook his head as he followed Lizzy from behind. “Hey Stop!! No beggars are allowed here!!” A huge guard halted her harshly, killing off her happiness instantly. Lizzy looked up at the huge guards. She was like a David standing before a huge Goliath. Her face contorted with frown. “Beggars!!? We're customers and we're here to purchase some items!” She explained as Marcus also joined her, standing beside her. The huge guard scanned them from head to toe with a condescending look in his eye over their poor and filthy appearance. He grumbled slightly before he hesitantly opened the door for them to enter. Lizzy jumped inside happily, smiling from ear to ear as her happiness overflowed, propelling her forward. She had always wished to set her feet there even though she won't buy anything but she was just a poor girl who works as a maid for her wicked boss who treated her harshly. She was so engrossed with the beauty of the place which had captivated all her attention that she Didn't notice a woman hurrying out of the building until she unintentionally hit her shoulder against the woman's. The bag which the woman held slipped from her hand and crashed heavily on the floor. People who were around turned to the sound of the heavy fall. Something huge and expensive must have broken inside of the bag. “Oh my goodness!!” The woman exclaimed, the rage in her voice undeniable. She raised her hand to slap Lizzy but Marcus was Swift to hold her hand in the air. “Let go of me!!” She flung her hand away forcefully and glared at Lizzy. Her frown deepened. “Oh! It's you little devil!!” Lizzy's heart raced fearfully with her eye casted downward, her head cocked slightly to one side like a criminal who had just been apprehended. Oh no! She wished the ground would open and swallow her to save her from the impending embarrassment because the woman before her is her worst nightmare!! Her boss!

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

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.

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.

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
