2024-10-29 19:42:56Moments 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 who was still examining Henry.
"Take this man to the car right now! He needs immediate medical attention!" The man ordered.
The group gave a collective bow as they walked towards Henry and lifted him off the floor and began to walk towards the car. Henry was placed comfortably in the passenger's seat of the Lamborghini and the man entered a different car entirely.
After making sure everything was set, the fleet of cars began to drive out of the compound one by one.

The morning sun rose up and the rays of the sun flickered into the room through the window and shone brightly into the eyes of Henry, causing him to wake up slowly.
Henry opened his eyes sluggishly while groaning slightly. With his eyes slightly opened and he caught a glimpse of the ceiling, a puzzled expression appeared on his face.
Unlike the cracked and broken ceiling he had in his apartment, the one he saw now looked neat and a really expensive light bulb could be seen above him, which made him confused.
Henry moved his gaze to the side and quickly jumped up from the bed after realizing he was in a whole new location. The room was extremely neat with different modern and expensive designs. Even the bed he laid on was vast and comfy.
"Where the hell am i? Heaven?" Henry questioned himself in contemplation. The last thing he remembers was Danny's men beating the hell out of him before he blacked out. It wouldn't shock Henry if they did kill him and he was now in heaven.
"Relax, stop moving around, you are still very weak." A smooth feminine voice was heard across the room causing Henry to shift his gaze and all he saw was a pretty lady that was around Elena's age.
"Who are you? Where am i?" Henry demanded.
"I am Sophia. Mr. Luther assigned me to be your personal doctor." Sophia informed me.
"Mr. Luther? Who the hell is..." Henry paused in his words as he remembered the name Luther from somewhere. "You mean Mr. Luther? Like, Mr. Luther?" Henry questioned, trying to get things straight.
"Yes, Mr. Luther. The number one business tycoon in the whole of this country." Sophia answered back.
Henry remained silent after hearing Sophia's response with his fingers rubbing his chin in contemplation.
"What does he want with me?" Henry questioned with a slight look of confusion. Henry had no business with a man like Luther and he had never met him his whole life so he struggled to understand just what he wanted with him.
"I honestly don't know what he wants with you, but he found you severely injured and decided to bring you in for treatment. Do you mind telling me all what happened back there? Why did they choose to beat you up?" Sophia inquired.
Henry bowed his head with his fists clenched as he recalled Elena's hateful words and all the humiliation he went through back there.
"Let's just say i crossed my boundary and got what i deserved." Henry finally responded after several minutes of staying mute. He had no intention of narrating his whole embarrassing break up story to some nurse he knew, so he chose to keep it simple.
"You should be careful next time. The injuries they inflicted on you was really severe and you are only lucky to be alive right now." Sophia spoke in a worrisome tone and Henry gave a nod.
The entrance door of the room swung open and in came a middle-aged man clad in a black suit.
"Mr. Luther." Sophia greeted with a bow as the man approached them.
"How is he doing?" Luther questioned in a deep and matured tone.
"He is doing okay. I already took care of his injuries and all he needs now is rest." Sophia informed me.
"That's good. I will like to have a word with him alone." Luther declared. Sophia then gave a slight bow before walking out of the room, leaving Luther alone with Henry.
"Trust you are doing good." Luther sounded as he sat down on a sofa beside Henry's bed.
"Y-yes, sir. The nurse said you brought me in and took care of me, thank you very much, sir." Henry appreciated it with a bow.
"No problem." Luther responded, gesturing to Henry to raise his head.
"If I may ask..why did you help me?" Henry inquired.
"That would be a story for another time." Luther answered back. "Give me details on why they attacked you. Although I witnessed part of it, I couldn't quite grasp what it was all about." He added.
Henry let out a heavy sigh before starting to explain.
"Being poor is the worst thing that could ever happen to someone. I get treated like trash and nobody. The only person who treated me with love was Elena. I did my best to make her happy. Working over time, doing two to three jobs just to make sure she lacks nothing."
"Until she told me it was all a game and she never really loved me. I mean, who would ever love a worthless trash like Henry? As if that's not enough, she still went on to bring in her new boyfriend and cheat right in front of me. That's when i lost it and attacked him, and he called in his boys for defense."
Henry explained, his voice mixed with anger and sadness.
The room fell silent after Henry finished with his narration, until Luther finally broke it.
"I understand exactly how you feel. That's why I am here to elevate you, Henry." Luther informed.
"I understand exactly how you feel. That's why I am here to elevate you, Henry." Luther informed.
Henry sat there with a puzzled expression after hearing Luther's words.

"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

Well, yeah. If you do not believe me, why don't we make a deal? If i am able to pay for the items i pick, you two are to get the fuck out of here immediately, and if i fail, i will be the one leaving." Henry sounded with a smirk.Elena had her eyes fixated on the young man that stood in front of her in bewilderment. The Henry she knew back then wasn't this confident and anytime he was being mocked he would only remain mute and bury his head down in shame.But for some reason their hateful words weren't affecting him in any way which made her shiver a bit. She could tell something was different about him."Haha, quit embarrassing yourself now, Henry. We both know you came out here to stalk me and not to buy anything. Even if you save up your entire salary you get from your crappy delivery job you wouldn't be able to purchase a single outfit here, let alone a bunch of them." Elena finally regained composure and voiced out with a sneer."Yeah, bro, give it a rest and move on with your wo

Henry exited the Mall's location and began to make his way back home with a heavy heart and his mind filled with thoughts. Just when he had the chance to show off in front of Elena and Danny, his card failed him and instead he was the one who got humiliated in front of everyone.Luther did say there was a total of one million dollars in the ATM card, yet the transaction declined. While Henry was walking through the streets, his phone began to chime in his pocket. He chose to ignore it and kept on walking, but the phone rang again.Henry slid his hand into his pocket and took out the phone to glance at the caller. It was an unknown number."Hello?" Henry spoke after answering the phone."Mr. Henry Barlow, your presence is requested by Mr. Luther right now." A deep and rugged male's voice sounded over the phone."I don't even know how to get to his place." Henry responded."A ride will be sent to you immediately after I hang up this call." Saying those last words, the call was disconnec

Hearing the words of Henry, Luther rose up from where he sat and walked towards a table meters away. He picked up a piece of document and walked towards Henry."Here you go. Sign this." Luther informed, handing the documents over to Henry. Henry retrieved the documents and pen and examined it closely."All you have to do is sign. Once you put in your signature you get a signing bonus of ten million dollars." Luther informed with a smirk.Henry gulped at the sound of the amount. He said signing bonus, not salary. If a bonus can be this grand he wondered just how much his salary would be.Henry read through the contract for a few minutes before signing it and handed it back to Luther. Luther glanced at it and nodded his head before making a transfer.DING*CREDIT ALERT: $10,000,000Henry glanced at his phone and saw the alert of the signing bonus instantly."Oh my God, this is..." Henry was truly speechless. He has never had such a huge amount of money in his account before. Before he m

While Henry was being restrained by the security, the remains of the chain fell to the floor and landed in front of Mr. Pedro.

Mr. Pedro voiced out in anger.All heads in the area turned and they saw Mr. Pedro, the owner of the company walking towards the ongoing scene with his face bright red in anger. Catching a glimpse of his father, Danny stood up from the floor with his nose bleeding and rushed up to him."Father, look at what this lunatic here did to.." Before Danny could finish his complaints, Mr. Pedro slapped him real hard on the face and caused him to stumble backwards."How dare you all harass an important guest like this!

Luther’s men went over to Pedro’s company and began tearing down the place. They scared away the workers and clients. They broke the revolving glass and used spray paints all over the building.“Dad I have called the police” Danny rushed into his father’s office. Pedro turned away from the window and walked to his desk.“It’s useless Danny” he said sitting.“Dad! How? How could you be calm when the company is going through chaos” Danny paced his father’s office. He was boiling in rage. He clenched and unclenched his fist. Henry was now a threat.“ You should have thought it through before you attacked that man” Pedro sighed. The calm he had on was pissing Danny off by the minute. “what?” Danny stared at his father with wide eyes. What the hell does that mean, he thought. He walked to his father’s high rise window and looked down. The police had not yet arrived and damage those men had caused was getting bigger. They had successful taken down the huge signboard of his father’s compan

Henry wanted to scream his innocence, but doing that could warrant something that looked his death, so he looked away. In his life, he had been accused of a lot of things but none of them had seemed so true like how it was now.He sighed inwardly wondering if he had made a grave mistake by joining Luther’s group. He gulped and focused on the conversation between Luther and the Russian man.“ Just a little advice, you have to weed the bad ones out” the Russian man looked at the goods and smirked.“ You are in no place to tell me that, why don’t you begin to weed yours—" and just like that, hell was let loose. There was gunshots blaring from the other side. It was like a dominos effect, everyone began to shoot. Henry ducked lower and didn’t peep anymore as he panted. His eyes wide. He saw as the others shot at the center and he did same. He wondered where Luther might have gone. The shooting went on for the next 5 minutes till everywhere went silent.

Henry opened his eyes. Call it shock or death, he didn’t understand why he dropped to the floor. The warm breath fanning his arm made it known to him that he wasn’t dead.He recognized the floor. He was still in Luther’s house. And clearly he wasn’t dead. He noticed some wet liquid on the floor. It smelt like iron. Then it clicked.Blood.He sprang up like one that had been stung by a bee. It was then he saw everything. Staring at the floor in front of him was Luther. He looked deadly. Ready to kill. His eyes glazed red and his nose flared. Henry followed Luther’s gaze and flinched. There was a dead man on the floor. He had blood oozing from the wound on his head. It’s his head. Obviously he was dead.When Henry looked away, he faced Luther. “Clean this up and all of you get out” he snapped and sat back in his chair.The men walked out of the sitting room. They went outside and some of them carried away the body. Luther wanted to know where they would dispose of the body. On a s

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.
