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 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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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
