Angela felt her anger build up as she felt George certainly had a hand in this. She viewed him as a shameless person since he did such. Just because he linked her with wealthy people who could patronize her doesn’t mean he could take all that away when he pleases.“I’ll be right back.” Angela said as she ignored his call.Mark grabbed her arm out of worry as he didn’t know what she wanted to do next after hearing such dis-heartening news.“Where are you going?” He asked, out of curiosity.“Don’t worry. I’m not off to do something weird or bad. Just let me go.” She said, with determination, and withdrew her hand from his grip, forcefully.Mrs. Adam calmed Mark down when he wanted to follow Angela, and he looked at his grandmother like he meant to say “Are you just watching her leave?”“Don’t worry. Angela is not someone to do something irrational. She might have a plan in mind.” She convinced him, and sat down on the sofa.Mark reluctantly backed down, and resumed his activity on his p

Charles drove back home, and when he got back home, he took a shower which relieved him of his tensed bones. He had a long day, and there was no time he dedicated to rest.He smoothened his hair under the shower, and shook his hair again, then he scrubbed his body a little, and walked out of the bathroom. After putting on his robe, he laid on his bed, staring up at the ceiling. “Tomorrow is another day.” He muttered under his breath, and shut his eyes to sleep.The next day, he got prepared for the meeting which he had been postponing for a while now; the Governor’s meeting with the board of members. He put a call through to his chief advisor which he had assigned for himself through a call.“Good morning, sir.” The chief advisor greeted, formally.“Good morning. I want you to set up a meeting with everyone necessary. Let’s meet in the conference room, and I should be there in an hour.” Charles instructed him, then hung up.He went through his wardrobe, and brought out the best suit

Charles drove back home, feeling a bit achieved for the day as he had done everything he wanted to do and they all went well.He picked up his phone while he was in the sitting room, then dialed Vera's number.“I need you to bring me the reports of those who have submitted their assignment.”“Noted. I'll do that.”He hung up, and exhaled sharply, then stood up and headed towards his room to have his bath. As he got to his room, he pulled off his clothes, and walked into the bathroom. He turned on the shower, and allowed the water to sprout on every part of his body.The water soothed him, and relieved him of all his tensed bones. For such a man who goes through so much stress, and hardly took a nap, this was a rare occurrence for him to have a nap.And he was going to use this time to go through a few files which Vera would bring soon. After having a shower, he dressed up into a more comfortable clothes.Soon after he laid back on his sofa in the sitting room, Vera arrived, and she h

Charles halted in his steps, and wondered who exactly was in there with her, or if she wasn’t the second person he was seeing, then who were the two people there?He wanted to wait to eavesdrop on anything they could be saying, but then, he feared that Rosaline could be in danger at that moment.So, he walked inside, and to his surprise, it was Rosaline, and her landlady. Charles gave a look like he was wondering why the landlady came over again, but he hoped there was no problem.“Is there any problem?” He asked, out of curiosity.“Oh! Nothing. I only came to check up on her as I do sometimes to my good tenants. I was about leaving when you came in.” The landlady said, with a smile, and walked out of the house.Charles’ gaze didn’t go off her until she was totally out of the house, and then he turned his gaze back to Rosaline.“I do hope there’s nothing wrong.” He asked again, out of concern.“No. There’s no problem. Come over, I prepared something for you.” Rosaline urged as he walk

Mr. Darwin looked at Charles with keen interest, and wondered what exactly he had to say that would benefit him a million times.He knew that Charles was a business guru, so he counted today as a rare lucky day, and was willing to do anything which Charles wanted him to do.“I’m all ears, Mr. Lincoln.” He replied, with composed excitement.“I’ll advise you not to go on with that deal anymore.” Charles spoke out, with confidence.“That’s Mr. Mark Adam. I would really love to take your advice, but Mr. mark is going to lose the money he invested if I decide to stop this deal as that’s what we signed to.” Mr. Darwin explained.Charles scoffed, and smiled as he shook his head lightly.“I feel it’s best if you cut off that sympathy, because the person involved doesn’t know how to deal business with a sincere heart. He would make you go bankrupt if you’re not careful, as well.”“Are you for real?” Mr. Darwin exclaimed in disbelief.“If you need proof about that, you’ll get it.” Charles said,

Charles wondered what she had to tell him so much that she looked a bit nervous. He understood that young people like him who are still tagged as adults could still act nervous, but seeing someone way older than him, act nervous, was surprising for him.“Are you okay?” He asked, worried about her.“Yes… yes, I’m fine. Uhm… So, I said I have something to talk to you about, and…”A call interrupted her, and Charles had to give her time to check her phone. He noticed her strange quietness, and looked at her. He could tell that her nervousness increased, and this time, it looked more like fear.It seemed to him that the call she was receiving was an important one, and probably one which relayed bad news.Then he waited for her to be done with her call before asking her if anything was wrong, hoping that she would speak out.Charles stood up, and walked around a bit, although, not far from Rosaline. He just decided to give her space, so if she wanted to spill out her emotions on the call,

Charles’ eyelids fluttered open as he gained consciousness. He looked around, and noticed he was in a hospital. He felt relieved that Vera acted fast on the issue.Vera noticed he was awake, and moved closer to him, with an expression of worry. “Are you okay now? How are you feeling?” She asked, out of concern. Charles managed to sit up, although with little pains here and there.“I’m much better, I guess. Thanks for helping me before it became too late.” “You’re welcome. So, what happened?” Vera asked, out of curiosity.“I really don’t know. All I know is I felt really weak, and dizzy as soon as I got home.”The doctor came in before Charles could continue speaking, and silence reigned except for the taps which the doctor’s shoes made.“Good evening, Mr. Lincoln. How are you feeling now?” The doctor questioned, with a slight smile.“I’m much better, doctor. What does the test say about my condition?” Charles asked as he noticed the papers in the doctor’s hands.“Oh! Well, it says

About two weeks passed, and Charles had gotten better. He had also rushed up his plan on stepping down from the governor position.He had passed it down to Mr. Daniels and people were gradually adjusting to the change. Although, some people got annoyed, but they came to forgive him for the change.Charles was in his sitting room, tapping his feet at intervals, and waiting for his guards to arrive. He had dismissed them because he didn’t think he was going to go out again that night, so he had to wait.He so much wanted to shake his father, and step brothers by letting them know that he knows they sent Rosaline to him. He wanted them to lose their confidence when the court day drew near.He knew that when they got to know that he knows of their secret, they’ll be careful in while crossing paths with him.Soon, his guards arrived, and they and Charles got into his car. The chauffeur drove them off to the Lincoln’s house, and when they got there, Charles got out of the car, signaling his

Charles couldn’t get rid of the whole shock immediately. These three seemed like unlikely allies. If someone had predicted that Vera was going to partner up with them in the long run, he wouldn’t have believed.He was lost for words, and the only thing he could do next was to applaud them.“I really don’t get it. How could abducting James be worth all these?” he questioned, finding it difficult to understand how they would think a stupid idea was worth how they waned to get back at him.“Shut the hell up, Charles! You have nothing reasonable to say. We have had what we want, and it feels so good to know you’ve experienced defeat. If you thought you could have a nice life without me in it, then I hope this incidence have taught you that you can never be as big as you want.” Vera said, looking like she could hit him with any sharp object if she was allowed to.Then Tyson pushed James towards Charles. As Charles wanted to bend down to pick James up, Tyson shot him in the leg.“Ahhh!” Cha

The siren blew as they all parked their cars around Charles’ house. They had even called the fire trucks to put out the smoke and fire that had been caused by the explosion.Charles sat at the back of the ambulance as they ran a quick check up on him to be certain he was okay.“You are fine sir. You weren’t affected in any way.” One of the paramedics informed him.“Thanks.” Charles responded in a low tone.Just when he wanted to celebrate one of his biggest wins, this calamity befell him, and worst of all, the man who had abducted James had not gotten back to him, since then.“Mr. Lincoln, do you perhaps know of anyone who might have a grudge on you that could have done this?” One of the cops who walked up to him, questioned him, while holding a note in his hand.“I don’t have an idea. It’s more like I’ve gotten rid of the enemies who let themselves known that they are my enemies. Right now, I have no idea.” Charles spoke, sounding really broken.“Alright, we’ll ensure we get to the r

The next day, Charles woke up to James’ call. He rubbed his eyes, and then managed to sit up as he was feeling very tired. Although, he was meant to wake early today, especially because he had a flight to catch, but his bones were too tired to help him act as sharp as he ought to. As he answered his call, his eyes opened up immediately due to James’ overjoyed tone. “Boss! Boss! We did it! We finally did it!” James voiced out happily.Charles adjusted himself on the bed, and made his feet to touch the ground, wondering what news James had this time that made him to sound this way.“What’s going on?” Charles asked, with his curiosity taking the best of him.“Boss. Mr. Van actually did something great, last night. He told me this morning that he sent an email to Mr. Jayla about our need for vibranium, then he mentioned your name. About an hour after he talked to me about it, I received a response through the company’s email, from Mr. Jayla, expressing his joy that we had actually reac

Charles stepped on the throttle and zoomed off, trying to cut through and ensure no one was going to take up space on the road which he could take advantage of.“If I’m able to drive faster than this, I should get to the nearest hospital very soon.” He thought to himself and then sped up.Fortunately, there was no traffic congestion this time, and the hospital he planned to go to was just right around the next main road.There was just ten minutes left and apart from getting to the hospital, there would obviously be some little process one would have to go through before making payment. Soon, I got to the hospital, and then walked in immediately, heading to the reception.“Good day. Please I’ll like to make payment for any patient who is need of medical attention or anyone who hasn’t been able to make payment.” Charles said to the receptionist.“Alright, sir. We’ll go through the records now. Please kindly have your seat while I make my research.” “No. I need to make an urgent payme

When it was evening, he packed up his bags and was ready to leave for his home when James walked in.“You’re about leaving.” He said, noticing that he had packed up.“Yes. By the way, Mr. Van will be the one to go with me to Paris, and I’ll like to leave you to the company to take care of other things.”“Oh, are you sure about this? You know, you might need someone who you’ve really known, to go with you to another country.” James expressed his concern.Charles understood that he’s more vulnerable in a different country, especially with someone he hasn’t worked with, long enough to know if he had good intentions for him or not.“I understand. But I also need someone with experience, someone I can trust, that can stay back and that’s you. You don’t have to worry too much. Just do fine, here.” Charles spoke.“Alright, boss. I understand. So, are you going to set your eyes on the physical idea which the production team will prepare first, before you leave, tomorrow?” James asked, out of c

When Charles got to his office, he asked to be left alone as he needed to strategize and see how he could make things work.“System, show me how many points I have gathered altogether.” He inquired and waited patiently for the system to show him his points.YOUR POINTS ALL EQUAL TO 15. DO YOU WISH TO USE THEM? YES/NO.Charles tapped his chin lightly, thinking if he can get through with anything with those fifteen points.“Show me the skills I have as options.” He uttered, and focused his eyes on the screen before him.YOU HAVE THE VARIOUS SKILLS OPTIONS AND THE POINTS YOU CAN USE TO GAIN THEM AS WELL ARE AS FOLLOWS: A. FIGHTING SKILLS (15 POINTS) B. MIND READING SKILLS (20 POINTS) C. MARKETING SKILLS (25 POINTS) …Although, Charles was a bit worried with the number of points needed for the various skills and the points that would be needed for the last skill which the system would bring up. But more than that, he was more worried about if the last skill that would be brought up would

“We’ll talk more on this, tomorrow. As for today, you know how sacred it is for me. I won’t be engaging in any work, no matter how pressing it is.” Charles said, standing on his ground.“I understand, boss. It’s noted.” James replied, acknowledging what was more important to Charles, at this moment.They both stayed at the cemetery until it was 6pm.“Alright, it’s time to leave.” Charles urged as he rose to his feet.James also rose to his feet and helped Charles pack up the few things he had set up and then placed it in the car.“Thanks for your help, James. You should go home to rest and then tomorrow, we’ll look into the problem we have. Thanks for your concern again.” Charles appreciated him and then got into his car.James smiled and then walked to his car as well, then got into it and stared the engine immediately Charles drove off.He was glad that Charles was okay and nothing bad had happened to him, but he also hoped that their current problem at work would have a solution.

James tried to call him again, but his phone was still switched off. He rose to his feet, then rushed to his bedroom, preparing to drive out to where Charles was, but he stopped halfway when he got back to the living room.He already had a second thought and which was to be patient. He felt that the information could wait. After all, all he just needed was confirmation if they were to go on with the idea of using vibranium or not.In a situation like this, he was used to reaching out to Vera, but now, he couldn’t. Well, he was going to get used to it, soon. He decided to put a call through to Mr. Van and the reason he decided this was so Mr. Van could get a hang of this work quickly and know what to do in different situations.“Hello, Mr. Van.” He greeted.“Good afternoon, Mr. James.”“I hope you’re getting the hang of things at work?” James asked as he sat on the sofa.“Yes, I am.”“Alright then. I need you to make a research on people who have vibranium in possession.” James instruct

The next day, Charles had had his bath, and was searching through his wardrobe for something simple to wear.Today was his mother's memorial and as usual, he doesn't do anything on that day. He decided to wear a dark suit as that's how it has always been.After dressing up, and ensuring he was leaving nothing behind, he walked out of his room, with his shoes making tapping sounds which echoed as he walked down the stairs leading to his living room."Good morning sir." Martha greeted politely."Good morning." He responded with his hands in his pocket."Here are the flowers you ordered. They came in an hour ago." Martha informed as she handed the bouquet of flowers to him.Charles removed his hand from his pocket and received the flowers, then sniffed the scent in."Smells nice." He spoke as he nodded his head in acknowledgement. "Alright then. Until when I get back home."Charles turned towards the door and then halted before he turned back to her."You should also take the day off." He
