“What’s your plan?” Nathan asked McDonald.McDonald opened his palms wide. “I want you to speak to the Italian mafia lord.”Nathan arched a brow. “You want me to speak with the man who is trying to steal my company?”“Listen Alex. I’ve come to realize that Hose Luis is the major contender in this game. He helped the Tysons deliver their share of the bargain and if you want to turn things around, only he can help you.”“It makes no sense to me,” Nathan said and shook his head.“Hose Luis is a businessman and when money is involved, he can switch sides any day. I dug up some things about him and I realized that he can do anything for money. He’s greedy. Get him on board. Speak to him and trust him, he’ll turn against us all in no time.” McDonald explained. Nathan was about to speak when Jackson leaned toward him and began to whisp
“I thought we agreed that your phones are going to be off when we are asleep.” Mrs. Tyson groaned while shaking off her husband on the left thigh.The incessant phone calls had interrupted her sleep.“Sorry!” He mumbled and opened his drowsy eyes wondering who had been blowing up his phone at 6 am. He sat up.Fredrick arched a brow after noticing that he got six missed calls from his assistant. He was about to respond to the incoming call when his other phone began to ring.He stared at both phones in confusion wondering whether to respond to his assistant or William, his brother. “Why are you blowing up my phone? Didn’t I tell you to only call me from 8 am?” Fredrick barked at his assistant after responding to his call.His wife sighed and tossed to the right. She began to rub her drowsy eyes with the edge of her palms.“I’m sorry boss. T
“Those papers are mine!” Dory blurted. Nathan wanted to tell her that Alex Alcantara sent him to get the documents but he felt that it might complicate things and ruin his plan. He had come to demand for the papers to find out if they were still with Dory and to also detect her reaction and now that he had seen things himself, he resolved to completely believe McDonald. Indeed, Dory was the mastermind behind the plan. “Listen to me, Nathan. You have no right to barge into my office and demand certain documents that do not concern you. As you can see, I’m in a terrible mood right now.”“I’m sorry ma. I just wanted to have a glance at…“Get the fuck out of my office.” She shooed him, pointing at the door. Nathan sighed and left. “Damn it!” She lamented and picked up her phone. She continued calling Fredrick. When Nathan got back to his office, he summoned Elaine to review their targets for the month. He had promised that he wasn’t going to allow the situation with Dory to distrac
Mike passed the third piece of the suit to Nathan. Nathan took it and Mike went for the face mask. He selected the one made of gold material and handed it over to Nathan. Nathan wore the mask. “Are you ready?” Mike demanded. Nathan exhaled and turned to stare at his reflection in the mirror. “I am ready.”Mike gave him several pats on the back. “You’ve got this, Young master. You are an Alcantara and Alcantara always find their way.”Nathan smiled and stepped out right after Mike. ***”Hurry up, I need to check up those supplies before 10 am.” Hose Luis told his assistant who has neatly arranged some files inside his briefcase. He was dressed in an immaculate white suit and seemed to be in a hurry.One of the guards came running inside the mansion. “Good morning, boss. You have a visitor.”Hose Luis raised an eyebrow. “A visitor?” he wasn’t expecting anyone that morning. “It’s Alex Alcantara.” The physically built bodyguard revealed before Hose could demand who the visitor wa
Nathan ran his hands through his hair. It was a few minutes past 8 am and he was ready for his first lecture after the summer break. He went for his backpack and hung it around his left arm. He sighed. The bag felt heavy so he couldn’t wait to arrive at school and empty its content inside his locker. He then traced his way outside where Larry was waiting for him by the Rolls Royce. It was a new school session and he was looking forward to it. “I’ll help you with that,” Larry said and quickly took charge of Nathan’s bag. “Thanks.”Nathan sat right next to Larry in front. “Are you ready for a new session?” Larry demanded with his hands on the speedometer. Nathan smiled and put on his seat belt. “Ready as hell.”“Let’s hit the University then. I miss seeing those beautiful girls on your campus.” Larry said and stepped on the wheels. Larry drove Nathan to the school premises and offered to take his bag to the locker room but Nathan objected and Larry left. While he was tracing hi
Mrs. Tyson abruptly stood up from the edge of the bed the moment her husband walked in. Lately, he had been working around the house like a ball of fire and had only said a thing or two. It was two days since the video of Kelvin’s violence video went viral and to date, the Tysons are still trying to stop the matter from escalating.“Where is your son?” Fredrick threw the question at his wife. She sighed. “He’s in his room. He didn’t have breakfast and when I sent Lara to deliver breakfast to his room, he didn’t open his door.”“I don’t fucking care!” Fredrick barked. “Go and fetch him right now.” He commanded and took off his tie. Mrs Tyson hurried to Kelvin’s room and after several pleas, he opened the door for her. She walked into a stuffy room filled with the stench of alcohol. She turned on the lights and was greeted by several bottles of beer on the rug. She sighed and sat beside Kelvin who was lying on the bed, face-down. “Stop acting like a loser Kelvin. Get freshened up an
Mike sat right next to Nathan and passed him a glass of water. “You got the number?” Nathan demanded after taking the glass from Mike. “Just a second!”Mike dropped his glass on the stool beside him. He slipped his hand inside his breast pocket and pulled out a card. “I got it from one of my contacts.” He said and passed the card to Nathan. “It’s his official phone number.”Nathan took the card. “Thank you, Uncle Mike.”He brought out his official phone and imputed the digits on the card. He then placed a call to the number. The call was instantly responded to. Nathan cleared his throat loudly and sat up. “Good afternoon. This is Alex Alcantara.”Nathan heard Hose Luis chuckle over the phone. “I see!” Hose Luis said. “I trust you are doing good, Mr. Hose.”Mike rested his back against the couch and went for his glass. “How may I help you, Alex?” Hose Luis asked ignoring Nathan’s pleasantries. Nathan gave a half smile. “I think it’s the other way round Mr. Hose. How may I hel
Nathan dismissed the waitresses after they scribbled down the orders on their manuals. Mike turned to Hose Luis. “Let no one know about this meeting or the agreement you had with Alex and by no one, I guess you know that I’m referring to Dory here.”Hose Luis threw his back against the sofa. “You don’t have to lecture me about discretion.”Mike chuckled. “It’s not a lecture Mr. Hose. I just want us all to be on the same page. Carry along with your plans with Dory and on the day of the switchover, Alex will step in.”Nathan confirmed with repeated nods. “I’ve said it earlier and I’ll still maintain my stance. We have a deal.” Hose Luis maintained. “Good.” ***Dory shifted her gaze from one paper to the other with a bright smile plastered across her face. “Perfect!” she muttered under her breath and collected the papers into a single file. The expert she hired to forge the Alcantara signature carried out the task efficiently. He had been rehearsing the signature for about three d
