2025-02-16 07:03:37News 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 anymore. He stared at Marcus critically like a cop suspecting a criminal. “Who exactly are you? You've gone viral within fews hours in the city.” She broke the silence, her voice conveying her curiosity and inquisity. Marcus turned to her. “You heard the broadcaster clearly.” He said still without looking at the young girl. Lizzy frowned, wondering what exactly he was driving at. “Are you kidding me! A somebody is someone who is nameless. Someone who has no identity!” She raised her voice a bit, disapproving Marcus's words. “Then I want to be a nameless somebody.” Marcus smiled and turned back to the window, putting Lilly into more confusion with his statement. The young girl exhaled in frustration. “This is ridiculous.” She rested her hand on the backrest of the driver's seat. “Isn’t that ridiculous sir? Who the heck bears such a name?” She said the driver sarcastically. The man glanced at her with a smile from the rearview mirror. “I think the statement has a deeper meaning.” He said while Lilly adjusted closer on the seat to further hear from him. She didn't need to ask further questions before the man continued. “Anyone who is nameless is secretive and somebody means someone who is great.” The man explained smartly which made Marcus smile, admiring his intelligence. “Are you saying he's a secretly great man?” Lizzy wanted to be sure. The man nodded with a smile. Lizzy turned to Marcus and observed him critically. His appearance was in contrast to the man's explanation. How could a great person dress like a beggar? She imagined. A billionaire beggar! “Let the diver know once you get to your destination.” Marcus said without exchanging glances with her but Marcus noticed she was unusually quiet. She noticed her mood had changed and a worried look expressed on her face. “What is the problem? Have I said anything bad?” He stared at her only to see her crying. Marcus adjusted closer to her, staring into her eyes which continued to pour out tears “Why are you crying? Speak to me Lilly!” Marcus raised his voice, his worries mounted. “I have nowhere to stay.” She sniffed as the tears kept rolling from her eyes. “I have no family. All I have is myself after I left my harsh boss. Am tired of..” Her voice trailed off. Marcus swallowed hard. He could feel her pain from her voice and he could only imagine what she had gone through. She held her closer with her shoulder and rested her head on his chest like a mother about to breastfeed her crying Baby. He dried her tears with his hand. “You have me now Lilly. You're not alone.” He comforted her on his shoulder. Lilly raised her head. “Really?” She asked with a surge of joy in her heart. Marcus nodded with a smile. Lilly happily hugged him. “Thanks.” Her voice came from his shoulder. Marcus smiled, patting her back in consolation. “You’re such a mummy's pet.” He teased her. “You’re not even a mother, talkless of a father. You don't even have a wife. ” Lilly said, chuckling amusingly after she totally raised her head from his shoulder. Marcus suddenly went silent. The memory of Mirabelle's betrayal flooded his heart, causing him a heartache like a fresh injury on his heart. “Yes, I don't have a wife. Women are ridiculous.” He broke the silence while Lizzy looked at his mouth. She frowned. “Are you in any way saying I'm ridiculous too?” She camouflaged an angry expression. Marcus Chuckled. “But you're not a woman..you're just a girl.” He smiled at the hilarious expression on her face. “I'm a young woman, not a girl!” She defended. The driver observed them from the mirror with a smile. Lilly frown suddenly wavered into a smile as a thought crossed her mind. “Let's play a game brother. It's called the search for a bride. I’ll find you a woman who you'll date for 7 days. If she's good, you'll marry and if she's bad, we proceed to the next.” He said with a smile playing across her lips. Marcus stared at her surprisingly. “You must be kidding!”

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.

“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 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.

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.

Hex was not going to let Marcus off the hook easily. He continued, each of his words releasing more venom, aimed to spike Marcus anger and frustrations.“Oh, is that your poor mother? She's the pathetic woman who gave birth to a stinking bag li..”“Are you crazy!!!” Marcus yelled, startling everyone even Sir. Hex was shocked due to the sudden emotional outburst. People who were in the lobby averted their attention to the unfolding scene. “How dare you talk to her like that!!

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.
