Nathan was more stunned when Phoenix University released a circular through its social media handles. The press release was signed by the Vice-chancellor and it was stated that unless power is restored, the students must remain at home.

Nathan realized that the city was in crisis and at that point, he was starting to consider the possibility of the power grids being hit by something worse than a meteo rock because not only was their power blackout, all electric outlets across homes and other places were destroyed.

As for the Alcantara mansion, Mike had the power outlets fixed a few minutes after the blackout, and currently, the mansion was operating on one of its standard generators.

Pudolvkin’s scheduled time of arrival was 9 am that morning so Nathan had designated Mike and a couple of bodyguards to pick him up from the airport. It was a few minutes past 8 am and Nathan was standing before his large dressing mirror, getting dressed. He had asked Mike to lead Mr. Puldolvkin to Phoenix from the airport where they’ll be meeting that morning in his office at the company. Nathan was about to reach for a pair of cuff links when his phone began to ring.

Are you okay?”Phoenix University had resumed academic activities that morning. The school management had fixed all the electric outlets and was using a standard generator to power the entire school. “Yeah. I have an engagement

    A few minutes later, Mike returned to Alex’s office with a receipt. He positioned it ok the table before Pudolkvin. The man took the receipt and his eyes widened in surprise. “You guys paid in full?”Nathan cleared his throat loudly. “This is to prove to you that I want this project carried out ASAP Mr. Pudolvkin.

You are the best brand anyone could ever partner with.”Nathan smiled. “So when will you guys ship their plants?”“Give us 5 days. I’ll ensure the plants arrive in Rockville by tomorrow and in 4 days, my team should be done installing them.” Pudolvkin replied. Nathan shook his head. “Time is not on our side.”Pudolvkin sighed. “Fine. Give us 3 days. We’ll work round the clock.”“Deal.”“This cal

    Avery let out a mild groan and slowly opened her eyes. She shut her eyes against each other and open them immediately after her brain picked up a burning sensation. Her vision was blurred but after she rubbed her drowsy eyes with the edge of her palms, she could see her environment. She quickly sat up, her heart racing. She was confined in a bedroom with the best state of comfort. She was covered with a sheet. Avery began to panic. Where was she? She wondered and began to roll her heavy eyes around the room. When she turned left, she caught a glimpse of a portrait and when she arched a brow, she saw a familiar face. “Kelvin!” she muttered under her breath and quickly rolled down the sheet to her feet. It then dawned on her that she had encountered him at the bar and the last thing she remembered was falling into a deep snooze. She sighed in relief and checked herself. Her clothes were intact and she had nothing to fear about because Kelvin didn’t touch her. She quickly sprung ou

    Nathan sighed and shook his head.Mike placed a hand on his left thigh. “You don’t have to worry about a thing Young master.”Before Nathan could turn to Mike to demand how they were going to tackle the situation, the executive assistant had already stepped out of the G-wagon. When Mike stepped out of the vehicle, Don and the other bodyguards quickly surrounded him. They began to shoo the reporters away but some manage to sneak their way around the barricade. Mike whispered into Don’s left ear and quickly moved to the entrance where Elaine was hurrying out to meet them. “We had to place a barricade yesterday. The reporters won’t stop coming.” Elaine told Mike the moment she reached him. “I’m sorry for all the inconvenience this must have brought on Alex.”Mike turned to her with a smile. “I’ve got this.”There were dozens of reporters at the gate, trying to intercept the Alcantara vehicles from moving into the company in their bid to get a response from Alex. Soon, Don was able t

Elaine escorted them to the garage and their vehicles took off.While Larry was approaching one of the junctions, Nathan told him to pull the car to a halt once the area was clear. This means that Larry was to stop the G-wagon where people were not loitering.Nathan grabbed a bag pack from the car and then took off his mask. Inside the bag was a pair of casual clothes.They got to the junction and Larry stopped the vehicle. While he was waiting for the area to be less crowded, Nathan took off his Armani suit and changed into the casual clothes. He ran his hand several times into his hair and adjusted his sleeve.“The coast is clear,” Larry announced.Nathan turned to Mike. “We will keep in touch.”He turned to the other side, flung the door to the G-wagon and stepped out .Larry drove away.Nathan stood at the junction for about a minute until a cab pulled over.

    “As you can see, I’m trying to shop.” Nathan maintained with a hand on his hips.“Can’t you see that there’s a real VIP customer here?” she retorted and then walked up to Nathan. “This is the last time I’m going to ask you to leave unless you want security to kick you out.”Pathetic, Nathan thought and swung his head from left to right.Steph was still pointing at the exit. “Your eye shopping is over young man.”“Fine,” Nathan replied and aimed for the exit. He was about to step out when the rich guy spoke.“Wait a second!” came his husky voice.Nathan turned to face him.“I can see that you love this place right?”Nathan turned away. Now this man was also going to ridicule him too? He wondered.The rich man turned to Steph. “Let him pick anything he wants. It’s on me. I can see that he has eyes for one of those jackets. He can have it.”The impressed Steph turned to Nathan. “Your broke ass has to thank Mr. Gideon for being so generous.”Gideon smiled. “Sometimes, it costs nothing to

    Steve pulled the car to a halt in front of the airport building. Nathan turned to Avery with a smile. “You still want to do this?” He asked with his hand stretched out toward her. She took his hand into hers. “More than anything in the world. I’ve been running around for years and I never told you this but the main reason why I came back to Rockville was to make peace with your soul and then build my brand from scratch now that you’re here, I just want to spend as much time with you as possible, away from the whole chaos and drama. Just the two of us.” Nathan planted a kiss on her forehead. “Thank you so much, Avery.”She smiled. “I’m excited. It’s going to be my first time in Russia and I just can’t wait to explore the city with the love of my life.”Steve cleared his throat loudly. “Looks like I also need to find the love of my life and take her to Russia.”They laughed.Suddenly, Nathan’s phone began to ring. He heaved a deep sigh and turned to Avery. “It’s Charles.”“It’s over.”

    Morgan turned to his bodyguards who had been inside the lounge with him all this while. “Call for reinforcements. We’ve been tricked.”Derrick darted Morgan’s attention toward the chip on the table. “It’s a camouflage. It’s all programming shit.” He said and began to take off his jacket. Morgan was already sweating profusely. “I must find the real Alex. I need to kill that bastard today.”“Are you even serious?” Derrick cried out. “We are in a mess. That chip proved that this whole session was recorded.” He took his head into his hands. “I should have listened to Kelvin. This was a bad idea and now, we’re doomed. I’m not even sure if we’re the only ones in this building right now.”“I reserved the whole damn building and apart from the staff, there’s no damn customer here.” Morgan retorted and threw his gun on the floor. “My backup team will be here any moment from now and we’ll get the hell out of here. As for that recording chip, I don’t care about what’s in it or who had access t

    “Now that your girlfriend is safe and out of the picture, let’s talk business,” Morgan said to Nathan’s camouflage who was sitting before him and Derrick. Both men had no idea that the man sitting in front of them was a product of science programmed to function like Alexander Alcantara with a chip buried in his head. The camouflage was programmed to follow Cole’s instructions and ever since he walked into the longue, his words and actions were being directed by Coke from outside. “Why did you kill my parents?” The camouflage asked Morgan. Morgan broke into a laugh. “Seriously? Do you think I have time for this? Do you want me to respond to your stupid questions? You’re doing this to buy time right?”“Isn’t it obvious that you have me under your mercy? If you are going to take me out then at least I deserve the chance to know why you killed everyone in my family.” Nathan replied. “For my brother’s sake.” Morgan quickly replied. “You killed Corrigan, the only person in the world wh

    Nathan stretched his hand toward Avery and held her hand tightly. “You’ll be fine.” He mumbled to her lovingly. She nodded repeatedly.Derrick clenched his jaw and looked away while his bowels continued to heat up with rage. “You’re lying,” Morgan replied. “I gave you ten minutes to come here and according to my guards, you came alone so how did you get to rally troops and station them here?”Nathan chuckled. “I didn’t bring any troops from home. If you and your partner were smart enough, you’d know that this is the Grandiose Hotel and the Grandiose Hotel belongs to the Alcantaras.”Derrick and Morgan exchanged glances. “Shit!” Derrick cussed and rubbed his hair repeatedly. “It didn’t cross my mind.”Morgan frowned. “All I had to was give the manager a phone call before coming in. I told him that if four minutes pass by and Avery does not come walking through the door, he should tell the restaurant security squad to start firing.” Nathan said. Suddenly, Derrick snatched Morgan’s g

    The waitresses returned carrying food trays. They graciously placed it on the table. Morgan reached for the plate of steak and began to devour it like a hungry lion. Avery kept staring at her plate of pasta and meatballs. “Are you okay?” Derrick demanded. “Yeah.” She replied and looked up. “Don’t eat that.” Nathan’s voice came through the chip. She heaved a deep sigh because that was exactly what was on her mind. What if the food was poisoned? She kept thinking. Nathan continued speaking to her. “Leave your bag there and get up. Act normal and tell them you need to use the restroom then you head out.”“I think I need to pee,” Avery announced. Morgan stopped eating and dropped his plate immediately. “But you just got here?”“Yeah.” Derrick agreed with a nod. Avery faked a smile and quickly stood up. “I think I had a lot of water earlier and now, I need to pee. I’ll be back soon.” She said. She was about to turn around when Morgan spoke. “Excuse me?” Avery turned around lookin

    “You look as gorgeous as ever,” Nathan commented while Avery was tracing her way down the staircase. It was time to meet Derrick. He had already dropped the location and had called a while ago to say that he was on his way. Avery was wearing a short black floral dress with black sandals to match. Nathan had insisted that she apply makeup so that Derrick doesn’t sense her insecurity. “Are you sure about this?” Avery asked when she reached Nathan. Nathan took her face into his hands. “You’ll be fine. I promise you with my life.”She smiled. “If you say so.”“Remember, act normal and do as he says. Okay?”“Got it,” Avery replied and walked away. By the time she arrived at the restaurant, Derrick was already inside because he had texted her about three minutes ago that he had arrived. On her part, Avery had convinced him that their meeting was a secret because Nathan was not going to approve. She had taken a cab to get there. When Avery walked into the building, she was stunned by i

    “Welcome, bro. What can I offer you?” Nathan demanded the moment Kelvin walked into his living room. Kelvin marched in and didn’t even look at the couch Nathan was presenting to him. “I don’t think I can sit.”“You look restless. What’s the matter?”Kelvin sighed and faced Nathan. “It’s Derrick. He had been in my place for the past three days and he’s been looking like shit.”“Did you ask you to come here and convince Avery to go back to me?” Nathan asked. He then raised an index finger. “Listen, tell Derrick that if I see him close to my woman, I’ll kill him so he should leave her alone.”“That’s not why I’m here.” Kelvin sharply replied. “Last night, he went on a rampage and drank several bottles of my wine and when I walked into him in my living room, he was half conscious and he said some things.”Nathan abruptly stood up. “What did he say?”“You and I both know that it’ll be difficult for a man like Derrick to change.” Said Kelvin. “It’s not like I’m condemning him.” He quickly

    “He’s coming out shortly,” Daniel reported and sat with the rest of the team. That morning, Morgan’s allies stormed his mansion to talk about the tragic events that were unfolding. It was no news that his biggest warehouse was burnt to ashes. That evening, another one was looted and by midnight, Morgan got information that his security guards were attacked on their way back from the club and 6 perished while two were in a coma. Morgan made his way down the staircase, carrying the weight of his problems. However, he was sober and didn’t display any angry reaction. Perhaps, he was too beaten by the incidents that he had lost his will to react. His Allies looked upon him as he made his way toward them. The group consisted of his friends and partners who had helped him execute shady deals in the past. After he sat, Daniel stood up and cleared his throat loudly. “There is no denying that we all know who is behind the constant attacks. Without mincing words, I’d like to inform you all t

    It was Saturday morning and during the weekends, Morgan plays tennis with Daniel, his assistant. Daniel is no fan of table tennis and barely knows how to hold the bat but every Saturday and Sunday morning, he shows up dressed in shorts with his gears just to impress Morgan. Also, Morgan knew that his assistant was bad in the sport so it gave him an edge to defeat him completely all the time. This morning, Daniel was already seated by the court in Morgan’s house and was waiting for his boss to show up. Morgan had just stepped out of his room and was on his way toward the living room before heading out to your court when his phone began to ring. He frowned and didn’t pick up the call. Even though he was a workaholic, he had made it clear to his workers that none of them would disturb him with work matters except if it was an emergency. The call persisted and the warning bells in Morgan’s head began to ring. What if this particular call was a case of emergency?The call was coming fr
