“What?” Henry screamed. His jaw dropped to the floor.

Nathan and Charles exchanged mischievous glances.

“Shit!” Henry lamented and gave the table a tight slap. He then cocked his head toward them. “How dare you guys do this to me?”

They laughed.

Henry threw his back against the seat. “That's not fair, guys.”

Nathan sighed. “If Charles wasn't stubborn, I wouldn't have brought him on the mission either. I don't want to put any of you in harm's way.”

Henry slapped his face. “I just missed a lifetime opportunity. I've always wanted to go on a mission you know.”

After Wayne left, Nathan met the boys at the cafeteria and then shared the details of his meeting with Wayne with Charles. Henry was lost so the boys decided to update him about the recent adventure that almost cost them their lives.

“Why don't we eat first? I'm starving.” Charles lamented and propelled his plate of pasta toward him.

“You guys owe me,” Henry said.

They laughed and went on eating.

Tonight was the award night of the Millionaire’s Club and during such parties, the club invites its ambassadors, sponsors, and well-wishers.“Where the hell have you been Fredrick?” one of the high commissioners asked.The hall was busy as more elites kept trouping inside to take seats across the round tables.Frederick chuckled and raised his glass to his face. “I needed some fresh air so I went for a vacation to a private island,” he said.“I heard rumors that you fled because your business was in shambles.” the other man said.“Nonsense!” Fredrick replied. “These haters are just pissed because they had no idea where I was so they decided to make up stories but I'm glad I gave them something to talk about while I was away.”The men laughed and shared a toast. “To Fredrick!”“To Frederick!” they chorused.

    After a series of applause and loud cheers in honor of Nathan’sepic return, the crowd finally settled on their seats while Nathan was set to address them.Nathan looked through the array of tables before him and caught a glimpse of Derrick and Kelvin. From the expressions on their faces, Nathan could tell that they were not happy to see him.He cleared his throat loudly and began. “It's with great delight that I stand before you all, hale and hearty.”Frederick tightened the grip he had on his glass. “Son of a bitch!” he muttered under his breath.“I want to begin by apologizing to you all for your patience throughout the past two weeks that the Alcantaras have been silent on my attempted assassination. However, the silence was necessary and we don't expect the public to understand.” Nathan said.He then turned to Mike who encouraged him to carry on.“It was a period of trial for us but the Alcantaras always come through.” Nathan confidently stated.Cheers and applause reigned.“I'm s

    Suddenly, a group of men dressed in black tuxedos stormed the hall wearing dark spectacles. There were about a dozen of them and their entrance distracted everyone, causing people to stare at them suspiciously.From the stage, Corrigan stood up and waved at the crowd. “They are my men. No need for any agitation. Can we get back to business?”Nathan couldn't help but wonder why the men had showed up just when the bidding was about to begin like it was some hostile endeavor and the last time he checked, Corrigan was no resident of Rockville but lately, the man had grown comfortable and was gaining more prominence by the day.On his part, Mike was also uncomfortable. He turned to McDonald. “Did you know that Corrigan was participating in the bid?”McDonald sighed. “First of all, I had no idea that he was an ambassador of our club and neither was I aware that he was affiliated with the billionaire’s club.”Mike hummed. His research on Dale Freeman had been leading toward Corrigan but he w

    Nathan roved his eyes around and caught a glimpse of two government officials settled at one of the VIP tables. One of them was the mayor and the other was the state governor. Nathan concluded that they were out to cheer the mayor’s son-in-law.When he darted his gaze back to the contestants, he noticed that all of them had their eyes on the God’s eye which Garvin was already slipping back into its case.Nathan quickly pulled out his official phone while the items were been transferred from the stage to a corner. He then sent a text message to a call.A few seconds later, Nathan received a response.He had sent a text message to Cole to demand the total amount in his main account. Nathan had entrusted Cole with managing his account and for accountability's sake, Cole provided weekly updates on the state of the account.900 billion dollars. Cole texted back.Nathan sighed. He wasn’t sure if 900 billion dollars was enough to secure God’s eye in the bidding exercise.After the artifacts

    Garvin lifted the Japanese sword. He pulled it out of its sheath. The sword had an illuminating reflection that caught everyone's eyes. Garvin carefully slipped it back to the sheath and turned to the contestants."Who would want to raise the bar for this beauty?"Frazier bided 10,000 dollars.Garvin turned to the crowd. "10,000 dollars on the run."The crowd cheered but when Garvin turned to the contestants, hoping they would raise the bid, they were as silent as a tomb."We've got about five minutes gentlemen so go ahead and raise the bid.""12,000 dollars!" Fredrick said with his gaze averted from the item on display. Like the rest of the contestants, he was not interested in the sword but just wanted that session to end."Going for one!" Garvin's bell went on.Silence ensured. There were three minutes left.To ease the crowd from the boredom, Nathan raised the bid to 15,000 dollars and a few seconds later, Corrigan mentioned 20,000 dollars.When Nathan turned to Corrigan, the man

    Cole walked up to Garvin with his laptop stationed under his armpit. "I'm Alex's account officer."Garvin shook hands with him."We are ready to wire the amount to the committee's account." Said Cole."Come with me."They left the stage.The bidding was the segment that had kept most of the audience in the hall so when Alex was declared the winner, the crowd began to disperse.Mike followed Cole to the room Garvin took him so he could supervise the transaction process.Frazier and Jerome walked up to Nathan and congratulated him. They took turns to shake hands with him and then commended him for securing God's eye.The pissed Corrigan stood up to meet Frederick.After Frazier and Jerome left, the mayor and the state governor walked up to Nathan. They got to his table and stood before him."You must be over the moon, Alex." The mayor remarked.Nathan smiled. "I'm bound to. God's eye is such a treasure. That's why we all wanted it right?""Well, it's evident that everyone wanted it for

    Kelvin threw the last content of his wine glass into his mouth and turned to Scott.“You said you have something for me.” He wiped his mouth with the edge of his palms.Scott slipped his hand inside his pocket and pulled out a small brown envelope. He passed it to Kelvin.Kelvin tore the seal and opened the envelope. He looked intensely at the photographs he had just pulled out.“Isn't this Mike? The famous Alcantara executive assistant?”“That's right!” Scott replied and then sat up. “Yesterday, your little rabbit returned to his apartment after weeks and then a few minutes later, Mike showed up. I saw them heading out of the house together so I decided to take these pictures from afar.”Kelvin was studying the pictures. They were captured when Nathan and Mike were speaking. Both men were standing by the lawn, facing each other.“What could a low-life like that be doing with Mike?” Scot wondered.Kelvin hummed and tossed the pictures aside. He recalled how the restaurant manager had

    “This is 911. What’s your emergency?”“My friend has just been kidnapped,” Avery said through clattering teeth.“I need you to take a deep breath, ma’am.” The male respondent said.Avery felt like pulling out her hair. There was no way she was staying calm.“Where are you? Can you tell us the location of the kidnap?”“I’m currently At Lifeline Axis. Right beside the city mall. My friend was kidnapped right there. I watched them push him into a van.” Avery supplied. In about an instant, she was sweating profusely.“Find somewhere safe and stay there. Our team will be right there in a few minutes.” The man assured her.When Avery lowered the phone to her chest, she felt her heartbeat skyrocketing.Who were those people and where could they have taken Nathan to? She roved her eyes around the street. Everyone was going about their business. It was as if no one saw the incident.She moved away from the driveway and when she got to the edge of the building, she quickly placed a call to Char

    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
