2025-02-16 06:58:41You 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 when he saw her shedding tears. “Enough!!!” His voice rang aggressively and overshadowed the murmurs, making the atmosphere fall into silence. All turned to him. “I’ll pay the money!” He broke the silence, darting his eye on the crowd. They all stared at him and if he had just pronounced an abominable statement. They stared at him, taking in his filthy and unpresentable appearance. “He looks like a beggar! How the heck did he enter here!” Someone mocked. “He’s definitely a thief! Look at his clothes!!” Another person chimed disdainfully. Mike, the manager of Smart techs and gadgets had seen from a computer in the control room what was happening so came down to take control of whatever was going on. He is tall with an intimidating appearance. He approached the scene in a Navy Blue three piece suit, looking rich and charming but he's rude. Following him behind were two huge bodyguards with a baton in their hand. A deep frown knotted his forehead when he saw the crowd. “What the heck is going on here!!” He asked the female sales attendant and averted his eye to the crowd. Before the sales attendant could say a word, the woman blurted. “This girl here broke new gadgets I bought and she has refused to pay!! She was determined to humiliate Lizzy, knowing fully well she wouldn't be able to pay for the damages. Mike turned to Lilly. “Is that the case?” He stared at her. “You must pay for the damages you incurred otherwise.. “I said I'll pay for it!!” Marcus chipped in confidently. Mike stared at him with a subtle frown on his face. “And who are you sir?” He scanned him from head to toe, wondering how someone like him passed the guard at the door. “I came to purchase some gadgets and this girl here is my sister.” He referred to Lilly. “Good!” He turned to the sales attendant. “Come calculate the price of the damages.” He instructed her. All eyes fell on her as she walked out from the cut -out and squatted before the bag. She opened it and started taking the price of the damaged gadgets. “It’s $1 million dollars sir!!” She stood up and reported. Marcus chuckled as if she just cracked a joke, his confidence unscathed. “Just $1 million dollars?” He said as if the money was nothing. Mike stepped closer to him with anger noticeable on his face. “Young man, do you think this is a joke!! Do you know what trouble you just got yourself into because I believe you can't even afford the money! You should be pleading for mercy!!” Hearing that, Lilly started a fresh tear. Marcus snorted, his confidence in check. “Is this how you treat your customers!?” He glared at him. “Customers?! Huh And where is the customer?” He looked around sarcastically as if Marcus was never there even though he was standing before him. He looked at him, his upper lips shifted a bit, expressing the condescending look on his face “I see a beggar! A hungry man walking around with his poor sister!” Mike spat, his words cutting Marcus deeper. “I’ll make you regret this!” Marcus said loudly. Those who heard him laughed at him mockingly. He's actually threateningly the almighty manager of smart tech. Without him, smart tech is a pile because his brother owns the place. “You should start begging now because you'll be the one to regret it when you find yourself spending the rest of your life with your poor sister in jail!” Mike said with an undeniable assurance in his voice.He could do far worse if he wanted. “You heard her. You should pay now.” He said calmly but the sneer in his voice was obvious. He knew Marcus would definitely bite the dust. Without saying a word, Marcus walked to the counter to make the payment. The bold movement surprised everyone even Mike so he gripped him on his shirt and glared at him ferociously saying, “Listen, don't try to play smart with me here because I'm smarter!” He forcefully released his grip on his shirt. Marcus dusted his clothes sarcastically even though it was already too dirty. He smiled but deep down, anger was boiling inside of him. He gritted his teeth and approached the counter where he'll pay. The sales attendant called out the company's account number. Tension rose in the air as Marcus operated on his phone. Lizy had almost melted with fear where she stood because she believed Marcus was only trying to prolong time to prevent her from getting embarrassed quickly. She thought of escaping but seeing the two huge guards who stood at the door with their scary baton, she gulped hard and abolished the thought. It's a mission impossible! Mike pulled the two guards closer and whispered into their ears. They nodded and took position at the door. Buzz! Mike's phone vibrated in his pocket. He glanced at Marcus to see him staring at him with a smile playing on his lips. Dipping his hand into his pocket, he retrieved the phone, his eyes settled on the screen. His eyes grew wide. Staring back at him is a bank alert. A smooth transfer of $1 million dollars beaming on his phone!!! He stared at the screen with a look of disbelief on his face. He looked at Marcus to see him smiling at him. He averted his eyes back to the screen, his confusion obvious. Marcus Stepped closer to him and whispered to his ear. “You need to believe it.” He smiled at him mockingly and walked to Lily. He wiped her tears. “Let’s get out of here. They're not worth our presence.” He held her hand. He heard the female attendant asking Mike if the money was transferred but he couldn't respond, rather he stood there like a statue, wallowing in deep shame. On his way out, he heard a voice from the all- powerful system. “Congratulations host, you have completed another task.” He smiled. His phone buzzed at that alive and when he stared at the screen. $300 billion dollars stared back at him on the screen. He couldn't speak. His body trembled that even Lily felt it from his hand which gripped her. Dave realised his life had taken a new turn. A feeling of satisfaction and confidence washed over him as he walked out of smart tech. Mike was clearly frustrated and angered by Marcus's pride. He wouldn't let a worthless guy go Scot free after embarrassing him! “That man must not get out of here! Seize him!” He commanded the body guards.

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,

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.

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

Laurent shrieked without lowering the gun from the bodyguard.Seeing the eagerness and seriousness in his expression, the bodyguard obeyed though hesitantly, moving forward passing through the crowd with a gun pointed to his head behind by Laurent. When the other guards saw them, they wanted to attack Laurent but Kain simply raised his hand, stopping them from carrying out the act.“Stand there!" Laurent instructed the guard, gesturing at a spot. The bodyguard glared at him before standing at the spot which is in front of the lady who he threatened earlier.The guards stood face to face with the lady. The lady was confused about whatever Laurent was trying to do and she got scared.“Fall on your knees and apologize to her!!" Laurent commanded.“What!" The guard exclaimed and glared at Laurent as if he had just been asked to do an abominable act. His face contorted into a deep frown and he boiled in rage, swearing to retaliate on Laurent whenever he had the slightest chanc

Frightening gasps rippled through the crowd when the guards pointed the pistol to the young lady's head who fear had gripped. Beads of sweat clustered on her forehead, rolling down like a stream of water.“I said who the fuck that fucking statement!!" The guards barked again, his voice filled the air, instilling chilling fear into the heart of everyone. His finger locked on the trigger, ready to open fire on the girl.Parr!!!He shot the gun in the air which made the people gasp with hands flying to their mouth. Those in their car quickly wound up their side glass because they don't know what the outcome for whatever is going on would be. The cry of a baby cut through the silence, raising the tension in the air.“You all think I'm joking right, huh?"

The people stared in amazement wondering if the car just touched down from heaven because the body was too smooth and shiny.Whispers of assumptions linger in the air from the people as all were confused on who could own such a luxury.“Could it be one of the powerful men in the city?"“I have never seen this kind of car in my life." “Wow! This is luxury!!"The astonishing comments continued to fly around.The cars pulled over in front of Netflux and several men dressed in crisp black suits hurried out of the cars and stood beside them. On their faces were black eyeglasses which they used in looking around as if sniffing for any suspicious movement. The men have guns hidden in their suits which they would use to send rebellious beings to an early grave.One of the guards who stood beside the door of the first car- a Rolls Royce sweptail looked around before carefully open

Laurent entered the control room to see several computers displaying the live coverage outside. No one was seated on the chair before the computers so he hastily sat on it. His finger tapped on the keyboard furiously as he backward the footage to six hours ago when the accident happened. Bullet didn't stop raining on the door outside as the men were hell bent to get to him and kill him. Luckily, the door is bullet proof so if at all they'll get to him, it'll take long.Laurent looked at the footage with keen interest as it displayed the footage of six hrs ago. One could see cars moving along the road and pedestrians going about their normal activities when Laurent's car suddenly came into view and it stopped in the middle of the road then in the next Moment, the trailer crashed into his car.

The man with the dagger raised his jacket for Laurent to see the hidden dagger. Laurent simply snorted. Customers in the restaurant who saw the weapon quickly left the restaurant while those who recognized the four men didn't wait either.“It's the deadly four. Let's leave here now!!" One customer said fearfully and quickly left the restaurant.The restaurant which was occupied with people a few minutes ago became void of customers except the deadly four, Laurent, Sir. Hex and the female attendant who hid behind a desk, watching whatever is to unfold.The man with the dagger stepped forward with a deadly grin and started swaying the dagger in the air. The sharp weapon moves swiftly, slashing through the air.Swish!Swish!Swish!“Threat noticed. Combat mode activated." Laurent heard the system's voice.“Right on time." He muttered without even taking any move. He just stood there with hands buried in his pocket, watching the man display the weapon.Tactfully, the man dashed forward an

Clinking of cutleries against breakable plates could be heard in the restaurant. Customers sat in threes and fours round a circular table. On a particular table were four muscular men seated round the same table. They all wore leather jackets which strained against their biceps. The look on their faces was cold and uninviting.One of them who looks like their boss has a scar, jagged and deep, running down the left side of his face just below his eyes as if he had once been at the losing end of a fight which he survived by sheer will.Laurent noticed them as he engaged the Female attendant in a conversation.“I need your help." He said and looked around.“What kind of help do you want me to offer you if you're not here to purchase something." She stared at him.“I need to see the CCTV footage of the event that happened in the past six hrs." He stated.The lady crowned slightly, leaning with both hands on the desk. “I don't have that authority. I'm sorry sir' You should see our boss f

The voice added and Claire nodded again.The man released her and she went out from the corner, going straight to the parking lot. She saw the Nissan Sentra as described, parked at the parking lot. She looked around before she entered the back seat to see a man dressed in black on the driver seat.The man grinned at her through the rearview mirror. “Good job." He said and drove away.“Who are you and where are you taking me to?"

Mirabelle's part of the plan is to divert the attention of the doctor from going to Laurent ward so that mirabelle would perfectly execute her own plan to inject Laurent with the deadly poison. It won't take up to 2minutes before he'll give up the ghost.Mirabelle pushed the doctor with the tip of her finger in such a way he hit his back against the door which opened immediately and they both found themselves in his office. She pushed him against the office desk and pressed her body on him with a lascivious grin on her lips. She leaned closer and whispered into his ear like a cheap prostitute.“Let's get this done, naughty boy." She hit her hand on his trousers right on his rod.The doctor's rod had risen, kicking against his trouser which shows his eagerness and to press on with the sexual entanglement so he grabbed her on the waist and leaned closer to kiss her on the lips but she angled her head backward and placed his index finger across his lips.“Easy boy..Easy with me..Giv
