The customer care lady strode out of the manager's office and approached Nathan.
"Hello sir." She said respectfully. "Here's your coffee, cream filled." She handed Nathan a cup of coffee.
"Thank you." Nathan smiled, sipping his coffee, just the way he loved it. Money was indeed powerful. Now he understood the saying: money rules the world.
Anabel laughed horribly. "Sir? Common miss, don't waste your time. He's not worth the V.I.P treatment, he's got nothing less than 50 dollars in his account." She looked at the man she was with, rubbing his chest. "This is the real deal."
"Oh no girl," The lady shook her head. " He has 100 million dollars in his account, currently he is our most valued customer."
Anabel and the man laughed.
"I'm telling you miss; he is poor. Just yesterday he was just a loser with only 100 thousand dollars, not millions. Don't let him fool you."
"He makes a living by washing dirty clothes for the basketball team in the university. He couldn't even afford to buy me a decent dress." Anabel added.
"Exactly! He is broke, dumb and useless!" The man said.
The lady looked at Nathan in confusion. He looked exactly like a cleaner, a beggar. Her mind thought different things. Maybe the money was mistakenly sent to his account, from his expressions he for sure wasn't expecting such amount. No wonder he was desperate about checking his account balance.
"Well." The man took out his card, flipping it around his fingers.
The lady's eyes focused on his card. It was a black card! She suddenly turned very respectful, because the card is exclusively from the headquarters of their bank, only those who had over 200 million dollars could have it.
She quickly grabbed the coffee from Nathan and passed it to him. She looked at the card. The name there was Austin Delano.
"Good morning, Mr. Delano." The lady said.
Austin sipped the coffee then spat out. "Yuck! I like my coffee without cream, plain."
"Noted sir." The lady collected the cup. "I'll see you have exactly what you want."
Austin Delano grinned in an evil way. Only if they knew he stole the card from his father. This was his father's card and he was used to stealing from his family. With the card he was powerful and women looked his way. The card was his beauty.
He lavishly spent his father's money, day - to - day. He was afterall the only son, his sisters would definitely get married someday and live with their husbands. His father's name was also Austin so it made everything easier for him. He was Austin Delano while his father was Austin Delano Peters. But often times the Peters was always silent in his documents, giving Austin opportunities to steal from him.
"Can I see the manager now?" Nathan asked.
The lady's countenance changed. She looked at him mockingly. "Please don't talk to me in that tone. Keep your manners in check or I will kick you out."
Nathan looked at her in confusion.
"Oh, please don't give me that look." The lady snapped. "I have to run a thorough check on your account." Her voice contained suspicion.
"We call him bonehead, or dingbat!" Anabel laughed. "I'm just saying. just in case you were wondering what to call him."
The trio laughed. Looking at him.
"Bonehead! Dingbat!" The lady laughed.
Nathan looked away, furious. If poverty was a person, he'd beat it to death by now.
Just then the manager's door flew open.
"Are you Nathan?" The manager, Bart, questioned.
"Yes," Nathan nodded his head. "I am Nathan."
"To my office, your account has some problems." Bart said, in a very high and serious tone.
Nathan quietly walked after Bart to his office.
"See?" Anabel looked at the customer care lady. "I told you he is fake."
"I can bet he is a fraudster!" Austin said.
"You did tell me." The customer care lady said, rolling her eyes in irritation.
"Can you grant me a favor?" Anabel moved closer to the lady.
"What do you want?" The lady asked.
"Just incase he comes asking for a student loan, do not grant it to him, understood?" Anabel's statement sounded more like a warning.
"But why?" The lady asked in curiosity.
"He never pays them back. He is owing thousands of people at the University, please don't fall prey to him and his counter schemes. He cannot be trusted, one bit."
The lady smiled gratefully at Anabel. "Thank you so much, you are a life saver. I will make sure he gets no loan from the bank."
"You'll be making a wise decision!" Austin winked.
Austin looked at Anabel. "I forgot my handkerchief in the car, could you please get it for me?"
"Yeah." Anabel walked out.
Austin looked around, then pulled a paper and pen from the lady's table. He folds it into her hands after writing on it.
The lady rolled her eyes first, before opening the note.
It read. 'CALL ME ASAP, I WILL SPOIL YOU WITH MONEY."
The lady adjusted her uniform, smiling in a coy - like manner.
"I promise, I will treat you like a queen." Austin assured.
"And what of her?"
"Who?"
"Your girlfriend?"
Austin waved the thought away. "She's nothing. She is just a call girl."
"Ohhh. yeah.
"Yeah." He winked. "Put your account details in here, I'll send you something for dinner."
"That's really sweet of you." The lady blushed, putting her account number on Austin's phone.
Ding Ding! She receives an alert. She gives him a very attractive charming smile.
"Money is not the problem. Just be a good girl."
"Anytime, anywhere." The lady said her eyes filled with excitement.
When he notices Anabel walk towards them, he changes the topic.
"What did I miss?" Anabel asked.
"Nothing." Austin and the Lady almost say together.
"Your boyfriend is really generous." The lady complimented.
"He is. The best." Anabel rolled her eyes, hugging Austin for show off.

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.

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
