When the limo pulled at the garage of the Alcantara Estate, Nathan was already at a corner, waiting for Martin and Charles to step out. Immediately after both men stepped out of the car, a bodyguard charged toward Martin to get a hold of his backpack. Nathan walked up to Martin and immersed him in a side hug. “Welcome to Rockville City, bro.”Martin smiled and gave Nathan a friendly smack on the back. “It’s good to see you.”Nathan turned around and motioned to Martin to follow him into the house. “Come with me. I need to show you around the house.”“And after that, we’ll hit the city. Charles was arguing that the clubs here are the best on the continent. I disagree because I guess you guys haven’t seen the best of Rome yet.” Martin said while following Nathan into the house. Charles chuckled. “We’ll see about that.” *****“Are you guys set?” Martin demanded after reaching the living room. He was casually dressed. The trio had agreed to hit the streets by 8 pm and Martin who was
“I’ll be fine.” Nathan protested when Jackson tried to carry him out of the car. Right after his injury was spotted, the boys began to panic. Nathan had informed them that it was a scratch and there was nothing to worry about even though he was feeling quite dizzy. Jackson tore off his sleeve and used it to stop the bleeding and then raced the car down to the Estate. When Nathan stepped out of the car holding onto his arm, he staggered and was quickly assisted by Jackson. “We should take him to the private clinic. The doctor should be there.” Said Charles, pointing at the left wing of the estate. Don and his crew who were able to defeat the attackers arrived at the mansion and were soon hovering over the wounded Nathan. They were all worried. With Jackson’s assistance, Nathan made his way to the estate clinic. They met Felix, a nurse who was always on standby. “Where’s Doc?” Jackson yelled. “He stepped into town to get something. I just called him. He’ll be here in a minute.
“Where are you?” Charles demanded after stepping out of his car. After the hint he got from Kelvin over the phone, he didn’t waste any moment driving down there. “I’m inside the café. Second booth by the right.” Kelvin responded over the phone. Charles made his way inside and headed straight to the place Kelvin had described. When he got there, he saw Kelvin facing the glass window. There was a coffee mug in front of him and he was stirring the content in circles. Charles settled opposite him and dropped his phone and car key on the table. “This better not be a prank, Kelvin. Tell me what you have on Nathan.” Kelvin sighed. “I wasn’t sure you were going to show up but I’m glad you did.” “Well if it involves Nathan, then you know I’ll show up anytime so what do you have for me?” Charles said. Kelvin tossed his mug to the side and sat up. “There’s a plan to murder Nathan tonight.” Charles raised an eyebrow. Kelvin sighed and continued. “Look, I’m not making this up. Someon
Nathan was about to get into the elevator when Annabel squeezed herself inside. He tucked his hands inside his pockets and moved away from her. “So dingbat.” Annabel went on. “You didn’t give me a response earlier because you didn’t want those people to learn about your misfortune right? Now that’s it just the both of us, maybe you can start talking.”“I don’t have time for this,” Nathan said. The elevator doors were spread open and Nathan was the first to step out. Annabel went after him, trying to provoke him more. “Wait up, looser. This company is not for broke people.” Suddenly, Mrs. Wilson appeared clinging to some files.“Thank Goodness you are here, Mrs. Wilson. I just bumped into this rift raft downstairs. Can you ensure he doesn’t get a job here? He’s so useless.” Annabel said. The files Mrs. Wilson was clasping almost slipped through her grasp. “What the hell?”Mrs. Wilson and Annabel had known each other for a long while. They are neighbors so Annabel learned from Mrs
“Someone is here for you, boss.” Jackson said the moment Nathan arrived the living room. Nathan crashed on the couch. He had just taken a nap right after leaving phoenix media house. “I’m not expecting anyone.” He told Jackson and yawned afterwards. Jackson sighed. “You’ll be surprised to find out who it is.”Nathan hummed. “It’s Kelvin Tyson.” Jackson spat. Nathan’s brows went up. “Kelvin Tyson?” Jackson gave repeated nods. “I asked him whether he had an appointment with you but he insisted that I inform you that it was an emergency.”Nathan sat up. “Let him in.”“Are you sure?”“It’s fine Jackson. Let him inside.” Nathan maintained. When Jackson stepped out, he saw Kelvin at a corner by the entrance, rubbing his hands against each other anxiously. He had tousled his hair atop. “You can come in.” Jackson told Kelvin. Kelvin smiled. Jackson saw stars in Kelvin’s eyes. It was as if the response had given him a reason to be happy. Kelvin muttered an appreciation to Jackson an
“All set!” Mike told Nathan. Nathan adjusted his face mask and dashed out. He got into his G wagon and drove away with the convoy that had been on standby. It was the day of the election, the final lap where the president of the billionaire’s club will be declared. Nathan was dressed in one of his customized Alcantara suits, looking sharp as always. “Are you sure everything will go according to plan?” Nathan asked Mike after resting his back against the car seat. Mike glanced at his watch. “Our men are on standby. I’m sure Corrigan is on his way right now and by the time he hits the GreenWalk streets, he’ll be welcomed by our guys.”After Nathan and his loyal team met at dinner last night, they had agreed to launch an attack on Corrigan so a plan was set in motion. Nathan took a deep breath and stole a glance at his watch. The last lap of the election will kick off in less than an hour. “I assure you young master that today, you shall become the president of the billionaire’s c
Soon, more of Corrigan’s supporters sprang up to question Nathan’s leadership skills. Last night, while Nathan was meeting with his allies, Corrigan had met with his team and they also came to the event with a strategy. The strategy was to limit Nathan’s qualities with demeaning comments. Ryan was stunned by the chaos emanating. He needed to do something fast else the matter might escalate to a quarrel. “Excuse me my dear colleagues,” he called everyone’s attention through his microphone. “We are not here to argue or throw suggestions. I simply asked the contestants whether they had carried out their assignments so the response is up to them. I’ll appreciate it if no one interferes. Only the contestants will speak henceforth.”Corrigan abruptly stood up. There was a microphone strapped around his neck like Nathan’s for the purpose of responding to questions. “You are a man of honor Ryan. Don’t let the narrative change tonight.” Corrigan said and took off his dark spectacles. R
“You brought a gun inside here? What kind of a man are you?” Nathan spoke.Corrigan moved closer to Nathan with the gun directed at his head. “Keep your mouth shut you son of a bitch.”“I’m not scared of you.” Nathan fired back.“By the time I’m done with you, you won’t live to make such a statement again,” Corrigan said and cocked his gun. “All I have to do is pull the trigger and that’s it, Alex Alcantara will be history.”Nathan sighed.Corrigan flashed an evil smile. “So do you have any last words? I’m a man of honor therefore I can spare you a minute for a last speech.”“Speaking to you is like planting seeds in a dessert Corrigan. You are a despicable person.” Nathan replied and curled his lips in irritation.“Whatever. And guess what? I’ll ensure you die horribly. After I empty these bullets into your head, I’m going to take off your masks and hang you by the shower.”“A horrible death right? The kind of death you gave Dr. Edgar and all your one-time loyal friends.” Said Nathan
