Charles could not believe his ears. He sat abruptly, and pressed the phone against his ear.“Did I hear your right, Mr. Grayson?” Charles asked again.“Yes. We can talk more on the reason if you’re able to make it to my office before I leave.” Mr. Grayson suggested.When he hung up, Charles stared into blank space, because he was still shocked by the news. Even if he wasn’t solely depending on the income from his partnership deal with Mr. Grayson, it was awkward to be the one to be cut off.“Is there anything wrong?” James asked, out of concern.“Drive back to Gray Tech company.” Charles ordered his driver, and he immediately made a U-turn.Then he turned to James, and sighed.“Mr. Grayson just informed me that he has to cut off our partnership deal. So, I need to go to his office to hear the reasons. Probably it might be something we might be able to fix.”Fortunately for Charles, there was no traffic congestion, so they were able to get to Gray Tech Company in no time.As soon as Ch

Charles stood on the same spot, hands. deep in his pockets, watching Carlos. Carlos was the smart and calculating type. He wasn't as reckless as Tyson, nor did he do things impulsively or without reason. For him to ask to meet up, it meant he had something to say, and it wasn't something to be taken lightly. After assessing Carlos for a while, he began to stride over to him. Charles decided in his mind not to be cowed by whatever Carlos said to him because it could just be another of his father's strategies.His father already knew Carlos rarely talked or lost his temper and was probably trying to make Charles think something big was going on."Start talking." Charles told him, raising his wrist to stare at the expensive watch on it. "I am a very busy man." He added, dropping it and placing his hand back into his pockets. "Well, I'll cut to the chase. I also have no time to waste. Charles, back off. It's time you relax. Those properties are for our father…" Carlos started, and Charl

It had been quite hard to secure the same poison Mark had given Angela to use and when she finally laid her hands on it, she made her way instantly to Charles' house without being invited because she didn't want him to decline. She got to his home and was informed however that he wasn't around and she knew it would be the best opportunity. Angela walked to sit on a little sofa in front of another with a little table in between them. Then she dialed Charles' number and informed him that she was at his home and asked if he was around on purpose so he'd think she wasn't probably just arriving, and he had told her he was on his way."Please get me wine, two glasses and some fruits. Charles is on his way." She called out to the maid, holding her bag securely and the maid immediately went to carry out her order. "Here it is, ma'am." She said, after getting the things Angela asked for."Serve wine in both glasses. He should be here by now. I'll call him again." Angela said, picking up her

Vera hurried up to Charles' room, and a deep gasp of shock escaped her mouth as she met Charles lying lifelessly on the bathroom floor.“Oh, my goodness!” She screamed out, and then ran into the bathroom. “Come on, let's take him downstairs.” Vera urged, and both her and the maid carried Charles downstairs.As soon as they laid him down in the sitting room, Vera hurriedly took out her phone, and dialed a hospital's number for an ambulance.“Charles, Charles, can you hear me!” Vera called out to him and then checked out his pulse.He was still alive, but his pulse was weak, which meant that he was dying. Soon, an ambulance got to Charles’ house, and he was wheeled into the ambulance.Vera felt for him because this wasn't the first time he was poisoned, and his enemies were sort of getting to him too much.On getting to the hospital, they wheeled him into the emergency center, and both Vera and the maid waitied impatiently and in fear.Vera phoned James, and when James heard the news, he

"Tonight?” Angela asked, surprised it was happening rather quickly, but then, she thought again. It was actually for the best. Charles was no longer needed on the surface of the earth. He had exceeded his stay, and all he did was cause problems for her, and her mother. Her poison plan had failed woefully, so it was best another one replaced it, and it had better work out. She was about to ask for more details to be certain Charles would be finished off without failure and any more disappointments when her phone buzzed, and she, upon seeing the message, she stopped. She had totally forgotten all about an issue she was yet to fix. “Excuse me, mum.” She said to her mum, whose phone had begun to ring. “Sure.” Mrs. Penny replied, and picked her call. Angela left the living room to her room, and when she closed the door behind her, she stared at the text on her phone screen. Her heart began to pound and, for some reason, cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She sucked in a deep breath

“Mark!” Angela screamed out, as her heart jumped into her throat. She couldn't even look down. If she took even the slightest step backwards, she was going to fall, and Mark himself might not be able to hold her up.Angela's chest fluttered like a crazy butterfly, and she felt so weak, so weak to the extent that she felt she was going to cry out loud, if he didn't pull her away.The furious wind didn't help matters, so instead Angela closed her eyes tight, and tried not to think of the numerous feet below.“How do you feel right now, Angela?” He asked, still holding her wrist, with a hand on her shoulder, not pushing her, and not pulling her. Just holding her there. “Mark, please… please. Let's… let's talk over there. Over there, away from the cliff.” She begged, sobbing with her eyes still closed.“I asked how you feel, Angela.” He insisted, giving a little push, and Angela screamed.“Scared! Damn it, I'm scared! I feel… I feel like my heart's going to burst, so please stop!” She sc

Charles watched Angela carefully. She was behaving strangely, although he couldn't pinpoint what it was that had her so restless. “How did I know it was wine? Wasn't it wine? I just thought wine would be effortless to poison because I also ate the fruits, so she couldn't have poisoned that.” She explained, staring at Charles with wild, unsettled eyes.“It might not have been wine. The doctors can't say, but they're guessing it was probably the food.” He told her, pushing off against the wall, and she nodded. “Oh, that's very true.” She replied, moving to go towards the door, and Charles followed her. “I just… I just hope you're okay now. I've checked on you, and… I guess I won't feel guilty anymore since I've finally come to check on you.” She continued, as she left Charles' house. “Why would you feel guilty?”“Why have you been attacking me with questions? Isn't it weird for you to get hurt, and I wouldn't even check on you? It's not like we're strangers or something.” She snapped

Charles was thrilled at the idea of having a new investment, and was instantly thrown into good spirits. When it was time for the meeting, he walked in confidently, while still keeping a humble appearance. Mr. Holmes was seated at a window seat in the restaurant they had agreed to meet. He stood up. He was quite the burly type with a wave of long hair, brushed to his right. Not only that, but he was fit, and had an intimidating aura, but age had begun to tell on him.To Charles, he looked to be in his early fifties, and his wealth was not to be spoken of lightly.“Finally, we meet.” Mr. Holmes said, in a deep, but cheerful voice, holding out his hand for a handshake, and Charles extended his, politely. “It is such a pleasure to meet with you, Mr. Holmes.” Charles remarked, as they sat. “I assure you, it is the same with me. I've been interested in your company for a while now, and I wondered why I was so interested, until I realized it was because I had to invest.” Mr. Holmes laug

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
