The next day Jackson walked into Henry’s office with a cup of coffee. He saw that henry was on the phone and the TV was tuned on. The TV volume boomed a little too high but Henry didn’t seem disturbed. Jackson squinted. He looked around the office and found the remote, as he dropped the cup beside henry’s arm. Henry nodded in gratitude as he continued speaking.Jackson tried to put off the TV but Henry raised a hand. It didn’t take long, Henry got off the phone.“I was watching the news” he said.Jackson smiled. “You see anything interesting?” Henry shrugged, “the same old jargon. All they do is talk but they never act.” He sighed. “Now you can put it off. Just as Jackson moved to do so, he stopped.“Boss is that not Danny?”Henry looked up from his work. The headline was a picture of Danny’s father and the news. It read; GLANCH GROUP OF COMPANIES HAS BEEN DECLARED BANKRUPT. Henry smirked. “Boss what did you do?” Jackson smiled.“Nothing really” he grinned. Just then there was a l
Elena saw everything play out. Danny had come home that day, with his things in the car trunk. His father had kicked him out of the company and with a stern warning, never to appear in front of him, if he loved his life.Ever since that day, Elena had been at the mercy of Danny’s moods. One minute he snaps at her. The next he is asking for forgiveness. The other he goes ahead to trash the whole house. It was like he was some mercurial man. Like he was bipolar. Elena feared for her life. Any minute now, he would put the blame and anger on her, but regardless, she was happy Henry showed him, who the boss was. Happy that he was able to get his revenge, sad that it was because of her, all this happened.Well, she saw those bad times as a reward for her bad behavior.One night, after she had finished going on a crying spree, she got a call from her grandmother.“Hello grams” she said sniffing.“Baby aren’t you tired of all these?” she asked.“What granny?” she asked.“Crying? Are you an on
The cold wind slapped Elena across the face as she set out for the event. She was on a mission. And if she wasn’t successful, she could kiss Henry goodbye. She wouldn’t let him die. She still loved him. The business awards event. This was an event held by the many successful business men in the country. It served as a way to promote their business and also give awards to prestigious businesses. Of course Henry had been invited. In fact Henry looked forward to this event because he had launched a new product in the market. This was his first time, dabbling into the world of fashion. It was a line of suits. Elegant and fashionable. It had a bullet proof vest. Now which other way would he promote it, if not at events for businessmen. The only problem was that Henry was not wearing one.“But how do you sell to them, when you are not putting it in” Jackson asked as he stared at the stained suit. The new maid had spilled coffee on Henry and ruined the suit.Henry smiled. “Don’t worry, he
"What's with all these noises?" A puzzled expression etched on Henry's face as he walked into the compound and all he could hear was loud music and people chanting and having fun from inside.He wasn't aware of a party happening here today.Today was his girlfriend's birthday, and the couple had agreed to celebrate it quietly in the apartment and never said anything about a party or more people coming.Henry stood there, his hands holding the shopping bag that contained a beautiful dress he got his girlfriend for her birthday.Since it was her birthday, he thought it would be best to surprise her with something unique and expensive. Saving up his salary he got from delivering junk foods, he was able to buy a beautiful dress which he might not get to present the way he had planned with all these people present.After standing on the same spot like a statue for a few more minutes, he began to advance forward and make his way towards the entrance door.The more he approached the door, th
"Let me go.." Before Danny could finish his words, Henry sent out his clenched fist and it connected neatly to Danny's face, sending him sliding backwards.Danny's body slid across the room until his body hit the wall. The whole room fell silent with everyone's mouths widened in shock after witnessing the scene that just played out right in front of them."Henry, what have you done!" Elena voiced out as she ran towards where Danny laid. Danny's right cheek was now red and swollen, and blood could be seen trickling down his mouth.Danny laid on the floor for a few more seconds, and after recovering from the shock and pain he picked himself up and moved his gaze towards where Henry stood with his two fists still clenched tightly."You, poor bastard! You dare lay your filthy finger on me? How dare you!" Danny roared as he slowly made his way towards Henry with boiling anger. "I shall make you pay!"Danny quickened his steps and was now directly in front of Henry, swinging his right fist
"The person I want you to kill is that trash sitting across the room." Danny instructed, his finger pointing towards the mini bar stationed in a corner of the living room where Henry could be seen having a drink."Teach him a lesson he would never forget." He added with an evil look etched on his face. The thugs gave a collective nod as they began to walk towards Henry who just sat there unbothered and drinking a bottle of liquor."I heard you have been causing a bit of trouble, eh?" One of the thugs spoke in a deep voice as he stood behind Henry.Henry picked up another bottle and began to drink it greedily. Even if he was already drunk, he still couldn't stop himself from having another bottle. Not after all what has happened tonight.He thought it would be best to drown his sorrows and drink till he could no more."Can you believe this guy? He dares ignore us." One of the thugs uttered in anger as he lifted up his dangerous baseball bat and swung it down towards Henry's unprotected
Moments after Henry was dealt with and everyone in the party left, leaving him unconscious, what looked like a middle-aged man dressed in a black suit walked towards where Henry lay motionless.The man had been in the room the whole time the incident was happening and witnessed everything.He bent down in front of Henry to examine him closely."Those guys really did a number on him." The man mused, pulling out his phone and began to dial a number on it.The phone rang for a few seconds until the other finally answered."Bring in the cars and come into the building quickly." The man ordered before disconnecting the call.The sounds of tires screeching could be heard outside as different shiny black Lamborghini began to drive into the compound. The fleet of cars pulled over in front of the buildings and several individuals dressed in black suits alighted the car and rushed into the building."Boss, what's the matter?" One of the men amongst the group inquired as he approached the man wh
"What do you mean, sir?" Henry questioned."I can't tell you my reasons for doing so right now, but I wish to elevate you by giving you a decent job in my company, Henry." Luther informed me with a smile.Henry's eyes lit up in shock and disbelief."Really, sir? But why? You don't even know me." Henry questioned with joy surging through his body."Trust me, I know enough." Luther responded. "So, what do you say? Do you agree?" "Of course? Why won't I agree? I have lived in poverty and suffering my whole life, this is a great opportunity for me." Henry remarked."That's good." Luther spoke, placing his hand on Henry's shoulder. "The nurse said you are okay to leave. I will send a little amount of money to your account right now. Use the money to get things for yourself and also get a decent suit cause you will be resuming work soon." Luther added as he rose up from where he sat and began to exit the room.DingSeconds after Luther left, Henry's phone chimed on the table causing him to
