Charles woke up, and was feeling much better as his health condition had improved, and he was now stable.

It was only left for him to be discharged, which he had no idea when that would happen.

He managed to sit up, and was still pained regarding the news of his buildings which were set on fire.

“Just when I was down, you decided to strike. Whoever did this, will not go scott free.” Charles spoke out in anger.

Then he picked up his phone, and a breaking news popped up on his phone.

BREAKING NEWS:

CHARLES LINCOLN'S JUST LAUNCHED SOLAR PANEL INDUSTRY HAS BEEN SET ON FIRE.

Charles almost had a heart attack when he saw it. He quickly called James to be certain that he saw right.

James’ phone only rang once before he answered it.

“Did you see the news? Is it really true?” Charles questioned in disbelief.

“I was about calling you, Charles. It's true. It must be the same person who burnt down the other building that did this one too. But you need to calm down.” James said, hoping it wouldn't

    Charles' ears were at alert, and keen to hear what the cop had to say. He was so ready to deal with whoever was behind it.“It's Miss Angela, and Mr. Jefferson who sponsored the arsoners to work against your building.” The cop revealed, and a gasp of shock escaped my mouth.He couldn't believe that both of them would go to an extent of setting my buildings on fire. Why would they do that to me? Charles felt that even if they wanted to get back at him, they wouldn't get to that extent. Now, he knew how much those two hated him.“Alright, thanks officer. Please arrest them. There is no way they're going to go scot-free.”“Noted, sir.”Charles hung up and felt even better that he had found out the culprit, regardless of who they were. Then he began to make calls, fixing up investment deals with those who were more than ready to receive his investment.He needed to make those investments just so he would remain financially stable as he couldn't afford to keep losing.After spending the

    James was on his way to a restaurant to eat, and he decided to play a little music to get him in high spirits.He got into his car, and turned on the music to a minimal level. While driving, he caught sight of someone he had known for a long time now, but he lost contact with her.“Hold on! Isn't that Amelia?” He squinted his eyes to be certain he was seeing right.He rubbed his eyes one more time to be certain, but she was the one. She looked so much like the Amelia he once knew, and she seemed to be waiting for a cab.James quivkly parked to one side of the lane, and got down from the car. He adjusted his clothes, and ensured he looked cool as he was walking up to her.Before he got to her, Amelia looked in his direction and screamed, happy to see him. She ran gently like a lady, and hugged him tight.“James, is this really you?” she exclaimed in surprise and awe of how he looked, and then James smiled.“It's me. You now look so gorgeous.”“Come on, drop it.” She giggled, and slappe

    From that moment, James and Amelia hung out more often, and James ensured that it didn't affect his work for Charles or sort.He ensured he did all he was supposed to do, and never left any stones unturned. Today, they planned to go on an outing, and Amelia was really excited to go on an outing with him.Having so much fun with him was one of her dreams back then, which came true, now. If they told her that she was going to have James back into her life, and they were going to get close so quickly, she wouldn't believe it.“So, I hope you're ready for the big day?” James asked, feeling elated.“Of course! More than you could ever be.” Amelia teased. Amelia prepared breakfast for both of them, and they were enjoying quite the delicacy of a feast, literally. While having breakfast, they had so much to talk about, and they kept laughing about it like they were not going to stopThey were more like the kind of lovebirds which one would wish for.After breakfast, they got ready for their

    Amelia stood up abruptly and walked outside, then James followed her to know what happened, and why her expression suddenly changed.“What’s going on, Amelia?” He asked, out of concern.“I… I need to get back to my hometown to settle something.”“What's that? Did something bad happen?” James asked, worried about Amelia.“You don't have to worry about it. I have to go now.” Amelia said as she turned, about to leave as fast as she could, but James held her back.“You have to speak to me. If it's that urgent, tell me when you're going to come back.” James said as he held her hand.Then Amelia calmed down, and looked into James’ eyes apologetically. “I don't know when I'll be back, James. I just don't know, but I'll definitely be back. Just let me go, right now.” Amelia said, staring into his eyes with affection.She didn't want to leave, but she had to, and she also had no intention to tell James what exactly was going on, as she planned to end the issue once and for all in her hometown.

    Mr. Lincoln squeezed his face, annoyed by how Charles had hit the right spot. If he hadn't found the right word to use against him at this moment, he wouldn't have had to pay.“Alright, I'll pay.” Mr. Lincoln grudgingly agreed, and immediately paid for the premium card before anything important was done without him.They were all here for shares which all the influential men who were here, were interested in investing in, including Charles.They were interested in registering as a shareholder for the investment. “Alright, so you can all invest depending on how many percent of shares you want to attain.” The person who was put in charge to conduct this, spoke up.Charles had it in mind to attain all the shares completely, but as he checked the points he had, and converted them into money, they amounted to 3 million dollars.“Shit! Why did it have to be now?” He uttered in his mind.“Mr. Charles, how many percent of shares would you like to acquire?” The man asked, and Charles bit his l

    Charles asked the driver to turn around immediately, and while his guards were baffled, and wondered what was going on, they had no choice than to stay calm.Charles was beginning to have different thoughts about what Angela had to say about the poisoning. He was beginning to suspect that he might have detained the wrong person.Although, he felt a bit excited about it not being the maid, because he really wanted to believe that she wasn’t the one who tried to eliminate his life for personal gains.As soon as he got to the station, they allowed him to see Angela, one on one.“So, this can make you rush over to the station to see me.” Angela scoffed, and smacked her lips. “Get straight to the point. You know about the poison. Speak!” Charles urged her, not ready to dilly-dally around.“Alright, actually, I thought about this deeply. I thought about what I could do to make you know that I have really changed, and deserve a second chance.”“So?”“I decided to confess of my wrong doings,

    Charles moved closer to Mrs. Campbell with a confused look on his face.“What’s going on, Mrs. Campbell?” “Welcome back, Mr. Charles.” She smiled weakly. “I’m just glad that my name was cleared, and that I have been released. Thank you for ensuring that they released me today.” She appreciated him.Charles smiled, but he wasn’t satisfied with her answer yet, and he was waiting for more.“I’m grateful you gave me a chance to work in this beautiful home, but at this point, I think I may not be able to handle working here again. I would love to go back to my hometown.” She said to Charles, and gave the floor a long stare.Charles was a bit shattered because he knew he let her down, and she was no longer comfortable staying with him if she wasn’t able to gain his full trust.He didn’t know how to make it up to her even when he really wanted her to stay, but he thought deeply to himself that it could probably be for the best if she left.He couldn’t really trust people because of all the b

    Charles got to the bottom of the stairs, and was wondering what his next action should be. If he had brought his phone along, he would have dialed James’ number, and his security guards as well.“How did they break into my house? They must be experts at this for them to have achieved this.” He thought to himself. Then he saw the shape of something sitting on the center table. He couldn’t make out what it was exactly, but he noticed there were other things there.He slowly found his way to the switch, and when he did, he turned on the light.“Surprise!” Vera and James voiced out together.Charles was dumbfounded, and still couldn’t believe his eyes. He never expected James and Vera to come to his home to throw a surprise party or whatever they intended to do right now.It was even more surprising to have Vera do this as well.“You both had me there. What’s the surprise for?” Charles asked, out of curiosity.“Well, you’ve been working a lot, lately. So, we decided to throw a small party

    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
