2025-02-16 07:01:41The 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 red race. “Who the heck do you think you are!! Tell your men to get out of the day now otherwise..” “Otherwise what?! Huh?” Mike interrupted him with a mockery laughter. “You’re just a nobody who thinks he's somebody because he stole a million dollars! What a delusional thief!!” “Remember you're just a manager! You can be stacked! You're just a common slave to your boss and I am calling your boss right away!!” Marcus stormed to the counter to collect the owner of the smarts tech store from the sales attendant. How would he know Mike is like the owner too because his brother owns the store. As he surged forward with Lizzy, he heard Mike's crackling laughter. “What exactly are you going to say? To beg for more money?” He laughed. “You must be a joker to think my brother will pick your call.” “We should get out of here.” Lizzy whispered fearfully. “I’ll do you the favour of giving you the number.” Mike laughed and called out the number. He will surely be humiliated! Mike concluded thoughtfully. The phone rang severally in his ear, anticipating to hear from the other end of the call but he was disappointed because no one picked. He didn't give up. He dialed the number for the second and someone picked up almost immediately. “Sir. Walton is currently in a meeting. He can't take any calls now.” A feminine voice came from the phone. That was Sir. Walton's PA. Marcus cleared his throat. “Listen, this is a matter of urgency. I have a deal for him.” Marcus said confidently. Mike Chuckled hearing what he said. Silence fell over the phone for some moments as the PA thought for some seconds before breaking the silence. “What deal is that and what is your name?” She asked. Marcus's patience slacked. He only wanted to speak with Sir. Walton himself. “That’s not necessary. I just want to speak with your boss!!” Mike guffawed as if Marcus had just cracked the biggest joke of the century. The PA became angry. Marcus was obviously not ready and he only wanted to waste her precious time. “Am sorry sir, I'd like to end the call n..” She was saying, her intention to end the call clear from her voice. Sensing the intention, Marcus quickly interrupted her before she could finish the statement. “I'd like to buy Smart tech and am offering $50 billion dollars!” Marcus stated the huge amount of money as if it was nothing. Mike couldn't hold his laughter. His cheek puffed as he tried hard not to laugh but he couldn't withstand the whole comedy drama Marcus was showcasing. He bursted into laughter even workers and customers joined him in the mockery laughter. He is the biggest joker of the year!! Lily pinched Marcus, a way to inform him to let them leave to avoid any forms of embarrassment because she thought he had made the statement accidentally. Silence emerged again on the phone after Marcus declared his intention. “Are you trying to waste my time here?” She broke the silence, doubting the possibility of the credibility of his declaration. “I'm not joking!” Marcus said sharply. “And I am paying the $50 billion dollars now if you're ready to make the store available for purchase.” Marcus continued with an unwavering confidence. Mike had almost collapsed with laughter. He held a nearby iron as he became intoxicated with laughter. “Alright. Sir. Walton has been looking for a buyer and I think he'll jump at this offer. I’ll give him the phone now.” She said with a trace of joy in her voice. Even though Marcus couldn't see her face, he sensed she was grinning. ““Hello..are you serious about this!” Sir. Walton's thick voice came sharply from the phone. Marcus smiled, his mind swelling with pride. “Yes and I can make the transfer right away.” He said. Sir. Walton swallowed hard, his astonishment obvious as he went silent for a moment. “This is huge sir! You can make the transfer now while I confirm and proceed with the documents.”The excitement in his voice was obvious. Marcus had offered twice the actual worth of smart tech store! Incredible! Marcus quickly made the transfer of $100 billion dollars without flinching a bit. Mike approached him with a red face due to excessive laughter. It was a satisfying comedy. “You’re a good comedian dude. I wonder why you haven't gone viral despite knowing how to crack jokes.” He mocked him. Two police men entered to bungle Marcus away. “He’s the suspect. Arrest him and make him confess!!!” Marcus pointed at Marcus. He didn't even flinch unlike Lizzy who had almost melted, shaking with fear. Suddenly, Mike's phone rang. His eyes widened when he saw the call from his brother. His brother hardly calls him unless it's for a crucial discussion. With a quivering hand, he picked the call. “Hello..hello sir..” He said with a shaky voice, his anxiety unmistakable. Listening to his brother on the phone, his eyes widened in shock. “What!! Someone bought the Smart..” Before he could complete his statement, his brother's lawyer entered hastily and asked for Marcus. He brought out some documents which he signed and shook hands with the lawyer before he left. Marcus almost burst into laughter, seeing the shocking expression on his face. The phone slipped from his ear and crashed to the floor as the realization hit him. He fell to his knee in such a way his forehead touched the floor with his two palms clasped together. Seeing their almighty arrogant manager kneeling before a worthless Marcus, the workers Express their surprise by murmuring. “Am sorry please.. please pardon me!!” He cried out from the floor. The one and only reason he had to be pompous and rude had just been cut off totally because he knew Marcus would definitely sack him and his brother had swore never to have anything to do with him because countless times, he had misused opportunities given to him by his brother.

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. He had never seen a man looking so poor and arrogant!Was he really expecting to call the manager? His status isn't even worth a qu

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

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.

“Move now!!" 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?"

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.

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."

“Don't flinch. Just follow my instructions and we'll be good." A voice whispered to her ear and she nodded fearfully.“Good. You'll go out now and you'll move straight to a black tinted Nissan Sentra at the hospital's parking lot." 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?" Claire asked fearfully but she got no answer.After driving for about an hour, the car pulled over in front of an old house in a secluded part of the city.

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
