Angela was on edge as she watched Charles tip the glass of wine over. Just one more tilt, one more tilt. Suddenly everything seemed too slow. Why was he so slow just to drink one glass of wine?Then his phone rang and he dropped the glass of wine immediately.Angela swore under her breath, squeezing her skirt tightly in frustration. He had been so close, even the tiniest gulp was bound to do something. Charles held up his phone in hopes of it being James calling, but it was not. Instead, it was Vera calling. Charles sighed, and picked up the call. "Vera." He called as he moved to sit and in doing that, he accidentally pushed the glass of wine off the little table and it fell to the ground, shattering and sending wine splattering on the sofa. Angela shrieked as she watched the glass of wine seep onto the carpet close to where it shattered.There went her poison. Charles stared at her, wondering why she was overreacting over a glass of wine."Couldn't you have been more careful!?" S

“This could have only been done by a hacker.” Vera suggested, looking like she was thinking critically on who could have done this.Then Charles’ phone beeped, and he brought it out to check who had sent him a text which read:“If you want your money back, then come over to this address.”“Oh, my goodness. The hacker involved in this, just sent a text of the address.” Charles informed Vera and James.“Holy shit! Should we involve the cops, secretly?” James asked, wondering if that was okay.“No. We have to be extremely careful with this. He might be a man of one chance. If we fuck it up, I might never be able to retrieve that money. And you know, we have less than 3 days to acquire that building.” Charles reminded.“Oh, yes. That’s true. I guess the hacker wants something else, then, and not your money.” James replied, and folded his arms.“It seems so. I’ll be on my way there, and I’ll go alone.” Charles said to them, and dashed out of James’ house, immediately.Charles drove off to

“You want him? How do I give a whole human being to you?” Charles chuckled, and stared at the masked man like he was weird.“You know what I mean by “I want him.” I know it was going to be a bit difficult to get you to do what I wanted, because you are a powerful man, known almost all around. So, I had to think of something I could use to pin you down.”“What do you mean?”“There was a time I bumped into you. Well, I placed a bug on your phone. It blended with your phone’s color, and it’s quite smooth, so I ensure to eavesdrop on every of your plans, and the one which was a check for me was your building acquisition. That’s the only thing I can use to threaten you.”“If you don’t give me what I want, I can sell out your business idea.” The masked man threatened, and laughed out, because he loved the way his plan was working out.“What! How dare you!” Charles raised his voice in anger.“Trying to raise your voice at me, won’t work here. Your subordinates won’t even try to find you, bec

About four hours had passed, and Charles had seen or heard no sign of any people coming closer to the basement.“Why did you have to give me a task in this current situation?” Charles spoke out bitterly.Those men had tied Charles up so tight that even if he lost a little weight now, he still won’t be able to wiggle out of the ropes. “Hello? Anyone here?” Charles called out to anyone who could hear him, but all he got was an echo.He was beginning to get frustrated, and was about to fall himself to the floor, probably progress could come out of that, but the door creaked open, and he heard footsteps.“Thank goodness.” He muttered under his breath, with relief.“Our boss just gave the orders to release you from where he is. Remember, if you act wrongly, you’ll blow up.” One of them said to him, and they all laughed out, mockingly.Charles was glad that they weren’t wearing masks like their boss, so it was going to be easy to track them, and give back to them, the treatment they deserv

The next day, Charles got a call from George.“I assume you were the one who sent me 5 million dollars. Was that a mistake?” George questioned, over the phone call.“No, it’s not. I need you to do something for me, George.”“Alright, I’m all ears.”“Come over to my house, and then we’ll speak about it.”After hanging up, I got ready for whatever today had in store for me. But I hoped that I would be able to get back my money before the time given to me to fetch the money for the building, expires.Soon, George got to my house, and I slowly walked down the stairs, and gallantly to the sitting room where I took my seat, and stared at George.“I guess what you need me for, must be serious for you to have sent me a sum of 5 million naira, and asked me to come to your house for a discussion.” George said, looking overly curious.Although, Charles had never thought that George would be looking this humble to him after dealing with him, but he was glad that he was willing to do anything he w

George woke up, and met himself in a well-lit room which was receiving a good amount of sunlight. There weren’t decorations on the walls, and the room looked dry, and old.It was more like they had put him in a room-like-basement. After scanning everywhere with his eyes, then he noticed that he was tied up, and left hanging in mid-air.“Hello? Is anyone there? Please let me down. I’ll give you anything you want, just let me go.” George pleaded, earnestly.Then he noticed the masked man and his men, coming out of a corner.“Wow. He is awake. Get me a chair to enjoy the wonderful view.” The masked man requested, with excitement.As one of his goons dropped a chair, politely for him, he sat down, and let out a satisfied sigh.“Alright, bring in the specie.” He instructed, and crossed his legs, staring at George who was looking lost.“Please I…I know I… may have wronged you or something. But… but I can settle it with a huge amount of money. How much do you need?” George stuttered, and flu

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

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
