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
Dory made her way into the private lounge with a Hermes Birkin bag tugged under her left arm. She got to room 15 where the group had agreed to meet. It was a few minutes past 8 pm. When she walked into the private lounge, she discovered that all the men were settled around the glass table. She stared at the watch on her left wrist, heaved a sigh, and aimed for the vacant chair opposite McDonald’s. “You’re not even the president of Phoenix yet and you’re already keeping us waiting,” Fredrick remarked after Dory sat. She dropped her bag on the table and flipped her hair. “I was just a few minutes late.” She replied to Fredrick, looking directly onto his eyes. He smirked. “We would have gotten over this meeting if you didn’t take three days off to play a good daddy to your violent son.” She added. Frederick clenched his jaw and pointed a finger at her. “You will not talk about my son that way. Don’t you dare?”She pouted her lips and fell back on the chair. “Next time, keep your
“Why are you smiling like that?” Charles asked Nathan the moment they stepped out of the cafeteria.“She’s here!” Nathan professed, pointing a finger toward the garden facing the cafeteria. Avery and Henry were at a corner transferring some files to their phones.Charles arched a brow and saw Charlotte taking steps toward the garden. He turned to Nathan. “You got her to come to school didn’t you?”Nathan confirmed with a nod. “Yeah. I gave her a call a while ago to cheer her up.”“Impressive!” Charles remarked. “You are such a wonderful friend Nathan. Some of us have been entangled with the fun part of the scandal that we failed to consider the impact it might have on Charlotte.”“I’ll go speak to her. I’ll be back in a minute.” Nathan said and began taking steps towards Charlotte.After Avery and Henry were d
It was a few minutes past 7 am and some of the students were hurrying to the lecture halls for their first lecture of the day when Kelvin’s G-wagon with its customized number plate pulled into the school premises.When the car drove in, the onlookers came to a halt. They watched the car drive to the parking lot. Kelvin stepped out.“Here comes Kelvin!” one of the students announced.Two of his bodyguards quickly alighted from the vehicle. One of them took the lead in his bid to lead Kelvin to the lecture hall while the other bodyguard followed Kelvin closely behind. Kelvin was wearing Prada joggers and had covered his face with dark spectacles. With his left hand plunged inside his pocket, Kelvin cast his gaze on the ground and followed his bodyguard.Murmurs began to erupt among the students.“Do you think he’s sorry? It seems like he was forced to make that apology.”“
