Tyson and Carlos’ face expressed disbelief. They couldn’t bring themselves to believe that they had actually pitched their tent in their enemy’s camp, and now that they couldn’t pay up, he could do anything that pleases him.Sandra felt so embarrassed, and all the words she had spat out, just when she didn’t know that he was the owner of the resort, made her feel more embarrassed.She cleared her throat, and tried her best to push away her pride. After all, there was nothing she could do, right now.“I wasn’t aware you’re the owner of this resort, and trust me, it wasn’t intentional.” Sandra chuckled awkwardly, trying to act nice.But even the way he had been treated when he disguised as Andrews made him more bent on ensuring that they suffered for their misdeeds.“Now that you know, I believe you know what next to do. Pay up or work here at the resort.” Charles replied firmly.Sandra chuckled awkwardly again.“Please Charles. Like I said, we are kind of stranded. Our cards have been

“So, why are you here?” James questioned without making eye contact with her.He had invited her inside as he could not bring himself to ignore her physically, or tell her to go back.“I see you ignored my texts. Anyways, it’s understandable. I understand you.” Amelia spoke as she stared around the house.“Amelia, you came here for what reason? I didn’t expect to see you waiting at my house. What if I didn’t come home?”“Thankfully, you came home.” She smiled, and my heart melted like when larva melts things down.I became speechless, and looked away, then ruffled my hair.“I actually came because I wanted to make a change. I’m tired of holding back, and running away because of someone else’s desire.” Amelia voiced out, with tears filling her eyes up.James became so emotional and all the hard cover he was trying to put up came crumbling down. “What’s going on, Amelia?” He asked, out of concern.Amelia sniffled and cleaned her tear stain with her handkerchief.“Actually, there’s a lo

Charles fluttered his eyelids again to get the situation at hand, but this time, he could see again. He gasped, and leaned on the dining table, breathing heavily like he had just escaped something sorrowful.His whole body became weak as he had been agitated from the brief blindness that attacked him, but as his sight came back and his body released the whole agitation, he became weak.He moved away from the dining room, and walked up to his bedroom, then turned on the lights, and looked at his eyes in the mirror.There wasn’t any weird thing in his eyes, and in fact, it looked as normal as it used to look.“What the hell went on back there?” He muttered under his breath, squinting his eyes in bafflement. There was only one action he could take on after this, and that was none other than to see the doctor.~The next morning, Charles got dressed up after having his bath, then he walked down the stairs swiftly, and headed towards the door.“Good morning, sir. I prepared a little somet

On getting home, Charles loosened his tie, and sat on the sofa. Because he didn’t get a solution or an answer to what he experienced last night, he cancelled all the meetings he had today.Then Martha brought him a bottle of wine, and a wine glass. He was really troubled with what happened because he knew what happened to him was blindness and not dizziness.What was even more frustrating was that all the hospitals he went to today, were the best hospitals in the city.Then the doorbell rang, and Martha went to get the door. James walked in, and met Charles drinking. He had come over because he heard of Charles cancelling all his meetings.“Is there anything wrong?” He asked out of concern as he got closer to Charles.Charles looked up at him, and sighed as he gulped down the wine in his wine glass.“I heard you cancelled all meetings you had today. I get that, that could happen, but seeing you drink is giving me this vibe like something is going on.” James spoke, getting more concern

Later that night, Charles was at his balcony, leaning on the balcony rails when he suddenly remembered there was a particular key to a safe deposit box he had retrieved from the Lincolns’ house.He needed to know what exactly his mother had kept for him there. But he was hoping deep inside that his father had not messed with it, because he would have no idea what to search for, or where to search for it as he didn’t find anything else in their house which was relating to him.Charles went back into his room, and laid on his bed, ready to sleep just so he could wake early enough to get things done.Whatever the outcome of his outing tomorrow would be, would determine if he was going to acknowledge the schedules he had once cancelled.“Mother, you don’t have to worry. If I have to swim the greatest ocean, just to retrieve all you prepared for me, I would.” Charles determined in his heart.The next morning, he rose to his feet, and had his bath. As soon as he was done having his bath, he

The address was actually a place, located in a faraway town, so he knew there was no way he could do other things physically.But hopefully he would be able to get what he needs to be done as soon as possible. The reason he cancelled the whole schedule for the week was because he couldn’t tell if there were going to be some other things the lawyer might need to show him or let him know about which could obviously not happen in one day.He got into his car, and then his driver started the car to drive him home.“I need you to drop me at the nearest restaurant.” Charles said, and then his driver nodded, acknowledging him.Charles leaned back on his car seat, and then exhaled. He knew Vera was going to be curious and probably worried about the reason he cancelled the rest of his schedule for the week, but he didn’t want to tell her anything about it.Charles sometimes preferred to share some information with her and sometimes, he wouldn’t. What he was trying to do was to not give away al

After listing out what he wanted Anthony to do, Mr. Lincoln ordered for Anthony to be freshened up and well taken care of just so he could look presentable, and so it would be easier for him to carry out the job he asked him to do.Then his phone rang and he discovered it was a call from Michael.“And what’s the feedback?” Mr. Lincoln questioned as he crossed his lap.“Actually, I don’t think they are there either. The employees checked their check-ins and out, and it seems your family have already checked out.” Michael informed him.“Oh, I see. I guess they must have gone off to another place to have fun. They are quite the fun type. When they are done, they’ll get back to me. For now, I have a different job for you.” Mr. Lincoln spoke“And what job is that, boss?”“I need you to go in search of Mr. Thompson. He is one old, annoying frog lawyer whom I really need to get rid of.” “Okay, noted boss. I’ll be expecting the location of the person.”“Sent it already as a text. Do a really

“What!” Charles exclaimed in shock.He felt like a rock had been left to sink down in his heart as he heard the shocking news from this stranger.To him, it felt like it was a waste of time, and he was so annoyed at himself for not sending someone trusted, over to this place instead, to check if the man still lived there.“Yes. But what’s surprising is the fact that before he left, he paid five years rent more, for this house. So, no one else lives here, and he hasn’t come back since then. In fact, I don’t think he’s ever coming back.” The woman uttered.Charles almost felt dizzy because all these were too sudden for him to digest, and it wasn’t good news either. He staggered back a few steps and James held him back.“Are you okay?”“Yeah, I am.” Charles replied, then he exhaled sharply. “Do you perhaps have his contact or an idea of where he stays, now?” “No, I don’t. He never really shared private information, so we’re all clueless.Charles and James both went back to the car, and

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
