McDonald realized that Nathan had quite a difficult childhood so he quickly switched the topic after deciding not to ask further about the Alcantara ritual. “Let’s talk about business. What else do you do aside from supervising your family’s companies?”“Well, I plan to keep up with that until I reach a state where I’ll establish new companies but for now, I’ll just stick to supervising the ones at hand,” Nathan replied. “Sounds like some crazy big stuff.”“Yea, but We’ve got the Alcantara executive assistant. With Mike on the case, everything just moves well. What about you? What have you been up to?” Nathan asked.McDonald sighed and wiped his mouth with the edge of his palm. “My main focus is attracting the right investors. I’ve reviewed several companies that work in line with one of our brands. I’ve spoken to Tyson and associates, Johson and Sons group of companies, Lead city coal, Tsunami Ventures, and a few others.” He then gave a twinkle. “And now, I’m speaking with the Alc
Nathan was going through his phone in his office at the surveillance unit when a message popped up on his screen. He checked the notification. It was a message from his class’s group chat. It was from the social director and it read: Summer break party tonight. 8 pm sharp, Level 2 hall.Nathan quickly placed a conference call connecting Henry and Charles. “A party has been fixed,” Nathan said after they were all connected to the call. “Yes. I just saw the message.” Charles said. “I guess we don’t have to meet at the arcade station then,” Henry said. The boys had planned to hang out that night. “Yes. We will just meet at the party. So I’ll see you guys there.” Nathan said. The boys went ahead to talk about their day before Nathan disconnected the call. At Phoenix University, students throw parties twice during summer break. The first party is thrown for all the students a week after the break and a week before school resumes, each class throws its party. Nathan was looking for
Nathan was led into his vehicle before McDonald could reach him. “Take me to my rented apartment.” He told Larry with a clenched jaw. He pulled out his phone and began placing a call to Mike while Larry sped away. Mike’s line wasn’t going through. Nathan tried Mike’s other lines but couldn’t get across to him. All of Mike’s lines were off and Nathan’s frustrations grew worse. “I’m sorry, boss,” Jackson said. Nathan sighed and threw his head backward. “Everything will be fine. You just need to calm down.”Nathan turned to Jackson with fury in his eyes. “I can’t calm down Jackson. Didn’t you hear what McDonald said? They are planning to steal my company and as we speak, their plans are almost complete. I don’t even know where to begin from.” He lamented. “Don’t even tell me McDonald was bluffing because he provided all the evidence I needed to believe him.”“I wasn’t going to say McDonald was bluffing but the thing is, if he is a part of the group that wants to steal your compan
At quarter past 10 pm, the party came to an end. Nathan and his friends traced their way out of the hall together with Avery. The boys escorted Avery to her vehicle and bid each other farewell but Charles wasn’t done yet. He pulled Nathan by the arm before he could get away. “Is there anything we should know?” He demanded with a wink and cocked his head toward Avery’s direction. Nathan chuckled and shook his head. Henry turned to Charles. “You also noticed the way they were stealing glances at each other tonight right?”Charles gave repeated nods. Henry cleared his throat loudly and faced Nathan. “Are we missing anything here?”Nathan gave his forehead a mild scrape. “Let’s just say Avery and I are in a good place.”The boys exchanged mischievous glances. “I see!” Henry hummed. “But we are not a thing yet.” Nathan quickly added. “Now shoo, time to go home.”They dispersed. When Nathan got home, he tried to place a call to Mike but Mike’s line wasn’t going through. It then dawn
“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
