Nathan didn't fall asleep the entire night. He kept pondering over his parents’ revelation. Imagining and fantasizing on how his life would be from now onwards.
He got up early, had his bath, did his chores, and rushed over to his bank. He was too nervous to even have breakfast. He had to figure out if his parents were playing a prank on him. He nearly got hit by another when he got down from his.
The bus driver cussed him out.
"You rascal!" The bus driver yelled. "Do you want to get me in trouble with the legal authorities?"
"I'm sorry." He apologized even though he wasn't at fault. The driver was simply a careless man, without a driver's license, maybe.
"Sorry for yo mama, stupid!" The driver yelled.
He ignored the driver and raced towards the bank. He saw the driver park his bus and step out, chasing after him. The hell! What a lunatic that shouldn't be behind a gear. The driver continued chasing after him until the driver bumped into the police.
That was Nathan's savior. He stopped running, panting. He quietly walked into the bank. He was initially ignored by people he tried to have conversations with. Even the bankers on the counter ignored him.
"Good morning." He greeted the bankers over the counter.
"Pick a form and fill before I can attend to you." A man at the counter said.
"No, I am not here to make withdrawal transaction." Nathan corrected an impression.
"Then why are you here?"
"To check my account balance." Nathan replied.
The man frowned then paid him dust. He watched the man attend to other customers. He moved to the next person over the counter and same thing happened. They all paid him dust.
Feeling stupid, he quietly went over to customer care service and asked the staff he saw to check how much money he had in his account. He only prayed he met a nice person.
"Excuse me ma, good morning." Nathan greeted.
"How may I help you?" The customer care, whom was a lady harshly responded to him, her voice was impatient and she wore a very unwelcoming look mere looking at Nathan's shabby clothes. She concluded he was one of the poor people that came to disturb the bank over 20 dollars failed transaction.
"Could you please check my account balance? I want to know how much is in my account." Nathan demanded.
The lady frowned. "Is that why you are bothering me?"
"Excuse you?" Nathan snapped. Was this a required behavior in their Bank, because what the hell did, they mean. His temper was raising and he was out to lash at them. He was also a human like them! Whether or not he was looking badly dressed, he deserved to be attended to.
Once again, he felt useless. Cursed. No one liked him. No one treated him with mutual respect. He couldn't even afford the basic necessities of life. He lacked literally everything.
"You can do that with your mobile phone." The lady snapped back. "You don't need to walk into the bank and bother us with that, please! We have more important customers to attend to."
"Miss, please just check my account balance." Nathan insisted. He clenched his jaw, trying to stay calm.
"Call out your account number." The lady said, rolling her eyes. She couldn't wait to dismiss him.
"Here's it." Nathan handed her his account details neatly written on a piece of paper.
She reluctantly checked Nathan's account, and her eyes widened when she saw the figures in his account, her lips slightly opened. She looked at Nathan again. She stood up, and addressed Nathan respectfully.
"You have 100 million dollars in your account." She said, wearing a bright smile.
Nathan was shocked. He ignored the lady's sudden nice attitude and buried his mind in thoughts. What his father said was real! He was rich! They were rich! He struggled with his breath trying to mask his joy and surprise. How possible?
"You must the client I have been expecting." The lady said. "Any client with 100 million dollars and upward in his or her account is our most important and valued client in our bank, you are to be served by our manager himself."
"Okay." Nathan simply said, impatiently.
"While you wait for the manager, what do you care for, coffee, tea, water?" She asked respectfully.
"Coffee with cream." Nathan replied.
"Right away." She responded with a smile and strode out.
Nathan glanced around the bank, studying the environment. He saw Anabel walk into the bank with a man by her side. Frankly speaking, the man was tall, but ugly and badly built.
Anabel spotted Nathan at a single glance. She walked up to him.
"Hey bonehead!" She grinned. "Looks like you still have money left in your account that you refused to give me, huh? How much is left? 50 dollars?" She laughed mockingly.
"Is this the guy who mobs the floor and washes dirty clothes for basketball team to make a living?" The man asked. "Interesting."
"Yes sweetheart." Anabel answered, putting her arm around his neck. "He is the one, we call him bonehead or dingbat."
They both laughed hard at Nathan.
"Maybe he's here to take a loan, don't forget he gave you all his money - 100 dollars." The man laughed again.
"Aww. Poor thing." Anabel made funny faces. "Maybe I should just return his miserable 100 dollars to him, I'd be saving someone's life, don't you think so?"
"Yeah, I think you should." The man nodded his head in agreement.
Nathan didn't say a word. He stood there looking at them, relaxed and chilled.
"You're not saying anything? Are you dumb or deaf?" The man turned to look at Anabel. "You didn't tell me he is dumb and deaf." He turned back to face Nathan. "This is no place for a challenged person."
"Sweetheart just ignore the bonehead, let's go cash out." Anabel said dramatically, leaning against the man's chest.

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.

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.

“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.

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
