“Where is my opposition? Do you see anyone?!” Davidson asked with squinted brows even though Sebastian was right in front of him.“Opposition? I don’t see anyone, just the institute’s Laundryman and his sidekick.” Stanley replied with hate and revenge in his eyes.The little break he had from being a cleaner at the Luxe Cafe, he wasted no time in clinging shamelessly to his acclaimed political leader in school. Birds of the same feathers flock together! It wasn’t so shocking to see Stanley clinging to one of St Psalms Desperado’s, Davidson. He was so heartless and mean, even though Sebastian hadn’t had any physical alterations with him before, but it wasn’t any news how much of an oppressor he was.Davidson was one of the terrors of the institute, lecturers were afraid of his guts and he was even more political than the school's internal system itself. He was Donald’s best friend and the duo walked together to torment whoever crossed their path negatively.Sebastian kept mute, his h
“What the fuck babe?! Why did you smash your phone on the floor?” Sasha asked with furrowed brows, staring at Steve, whose eyes were now clouded with tears, threatening to spill.“Sebastian! Buddy! Why??” He asked in a high tone, scratching his scalp like one who was going crazy. His heart rate increased as he kept wandering from side to side forfeiting the description Sebastian added to the transaction.Before Seb could figure out what was wrong, Steve had already hopped on his body, hugging him tightly, his face buried deep in Sebastian’s chest as he wept inconsolably.“Put yourself together, man. Nobody should know about this transaction, please.” Seb whispered into his ear, making sure his tone was low enough so nobody would grasp whatever he said.“Why Buddy, why? This is too much.” He sniffed the mucus that was stuffed in his nostrils, tears falling freely from his face.“You deserve it, Thank you for being a true friend,” Sebastian stated a warm smile playing across his lips.
“We could have gone somewhere else where we can have peace and discuss properly regarding the elections,” Rachael stated with concern.“I’m sure this bully will do everything to disrupt this gathering. He is allergic to peace.” She added.“This is a public space, let's carry on, forget about them,” Seb responded firmly, paying zero regard to Davidson’s presence even though the restaurant belonged to his father.“Oh, my world! Their menu is so freaking pricy.” Rachael’s eyes widened as she flipped through the menu, with the least one-course meal stipulated for two thousand dollars.“Don’t do that, girl. Steve here is more than capable of footing the bill! right baby?” She asked Steve who nodded loudly. His whole countenance suddenly morphed into what looked like fear as he sighted Davidson and his guys.While they chatted with excitement and went through the menu, Davidson and his guys were laughing, their demeanor territorial as they made their way to Seb’s table as expected.He wore
The elderly waiter who Davidson had just abused physically and humiliated wore a slight frown while he pushed a silver trolly containing food. They were properly closed, and arranged to perfection, everyone ogled at the waiter as he got closer."Here is the meal you ordered for Mr.Davidson." The elderly man stated, from his shaky eyes and uneasy countenance one could tell there was something wrong but they all ruled it was Davidson's inhuman treatment."Very good, servant. If you keep adhering to instructions, you won't provoke me to the extent of hitting you all the time." Davidson remarked shamelessly before turning his psychotic gaze to meet Sebastian’s."Take this meal as a complimentary dish from your Institute president. Do not forget this great gesture of mine." He stated calmly, signaling the waiter to present the meal properly on the table.Sebastian, Steve, and the girls shared a suspicious glance at each other, wondering what he was up to."We can't remember ordering any fo
The waiter glared at Davidson, his eyes spitting out venom. He took a glance around the restaurant before untying his apron, taking off his badge, and placing it finely on the table."Hurry, check his name on the badge!" Sebastian whispered to Rachael who sat closer to where the elderly man had just dropped his belongings."Jones Beckham." She whispered back to Sebastian and her eyes widened in shock because Davidson’s last name was also Beckham. So it was true, how cruel!Davidson’s face was washed with embarrassment and shame, and his uncle spilling such heavy revelation was the last thing he expected and it could be used against him in the forthcoming election.Davidson, however, didn’t try to make amends, he turned to his uncle and sneered."Do well to also evacuate my father's boys' quarters, I don't care if you rot in the streets, we have favored you enough and it ends today!""I’d rather walk in front of a high-speed train than continue to condone what I term as an abomination.
A dark cloud hung over his head, and hot tears began to flow freely down his cheeks. He was hearing his heartbeat and it felt like it was going to burst out of his chest in the next seconds.“Hannah... Hannah..” He stuttered the name of his deceased wife subconsciously. He saw death right in front of him and he was willing to embrace it wholeheartedly, the strong will to fight for his life, was all gone.While he was surrendering to what looked like his end, he heard a car with a thunderous engine approaching him with so much speed. Surprisingly, reflex kicked in and he summoned his last energy to jump out of the way.A white-tinted Van screeched and halted hastily in front of him, "Is my brother after me now?" He muttered to himself in terror, unable to even see what was going on properly due to his blurred vision."Mr.Jones Beckham?" A young gentleman of the Asian race called out. He was muscular, dressed in a blank tank top and chinos trousers, he looked like he was in his late twe
“I told you at the restaurant never to give up on life solely because of a stupid bully! It isn’t worth it.” Sebastian walked into the room with a stern look on his face, Mark followed closely behind him and shot the door afterward.Mr Jones fell back to the bed with his butts, unable to share eye contact with Sebastian. He wept bitterly, the pain in his heart had doubled and it was very important he let it out, so it didn’t pile up and result in another cardiac arrest.“Cry all you want Mr. Jones. Let it all out. When you’re done we would talk man to man.” Sebastian stated, his voice was firm and lacking emotions.He had asked Benjamin to look into Mr. Jones's profile online through a renowned private investigator and in less than an hour, Benjamin had sent Sebastian all there was to know about Jones Beckham.Humiliation was one thing Sebastian had always faced right from his young age at the orphanage, even now that he was fortunate enough to come in contact with his fortune and ide
Mark was a bit startled by Sebastian’s boldness and certainty in his speech. Although he knew Benjamin was the big shot who linked him up with Sebastian for the sole aim of helping Mr. Jonas, Seb’s composure and command were worth raising a brow for.Benjamin, of course, didn’t disclose Sebastian’s identity to Mark but Mark had high regard for Sebastian because whoever Benjamin was affiliated with was more or less a VIP.“Reassuring him about getting all his properties back without any proof of legal documents would be a bit difficult,” Mark stated, his eyes laced with concern.“You have played your part, Mark. Leave the rest to me.” Sebastian stated with a warm smile.The smirk on Sebastian’s lips was a hint of the mapped-out plans he had groomed in his mind to tackle Davidson. In the course of helping Mr.Jones, Seb intended to kill two birds with a stone. He would ensure Davidson and his father diminished to the bearest minimum and never get to taste wealth again.Mr. Jones, for so
Boycotting the medical doctors and staff, Sebastian quickly went towards Cherry with haste and urgency in his pace. When he finally reached her he quickly tore off her dress.He got a needle from the sterilized tray that was kept just beside the head of the bed. He was about to prick her chest with it before Dr Jude held his hands tightly.“You are joking with your life young man!” Dr Jude stated holding his wrist tightly, trying to overpower Seb so he could let go of the needle. But Seb was stronger, he was very determined and he didn’t even pause for further explanation.His eyes were red and his hands clenched hard to the needle making his veins prominent. Without further hesitation, he held the lower part of her chest tightly and stabbed the needle into the lungs.Her eyes widened in shock and she gasped loudly, the doctors were furious and pondering what was going on.“What have you done?!” They sneered, shifting babackwardshinking he had worsened her condition.They shared an e
In no time, Cherry was already lying flat on the floor, rolling and biting her lips in pain.“Get help!!!” The MC raised the alarm and in no time the medical team arrived with a stretcher.The crowd was in shock, they all stood up to their feet wondering what was going on. Why they were mumbling and gossiping, Cherry was in severe pain, wincing and locking her eyes as they took her away.Sebastian, for some awkward reason, felt very uncomfortable, he felt restless in his guts even though there were certified medical practitioners who would attend to her. But why was he feeling that way?Unable to hold it in anymore, he clenched his fist in his knees till his knuckles turned white. “Why are you so restless Buddy?” Steve asked, he was also feeling concerned for Cherry but he didn’t seem to understand why Sebastian felt walked up for a lady he didn’t know personally.“Do you have any idea where she was taken to?” Sebastian asked with urgency in his tone.“Dude! I don’t work here, we cam
It was around 10 pm in the night and the runway event was situated for 11 pm prompt. Steve was excited and very eager to see some of the models he had always crushed on television and in magazines.Modelling had always been part of his life choices but his parents blatantly disapproved of his interest and insisted he read medicine instead at the prestigious St Psalms Institute, hence the reason why he was struggling with his academics.However, Sebastian wasn’t so eager about the runway show till he heard it was at the Adams Hotel and Resort. He remembered seeing that file among the files his grandfather had shown him while he was on the island and he suddenly became expectant of the evening.To him, It would be a great opportunity to see one of the Adams properties and get to know their standard so he could send feedback back to his grandfather. He was now strict and wasn’t willing to let the bullies go scot-free.When they got the the gigantic gate of the hotel, the Adams emblem wa
Jones's eyes brimmed with fulfillment as he moved around the living room this time, staring distinctively at anything his eyes caught till his sharp gaze fell on Davidson again.“Adhere to these rules with everything you’ve got! Failure to do so…. You must not set your foot into this house from today henceforth! Nothing binds us anymore.Secondly, the least I can do for you so you don’t die of hunger in school is to give u a job at the restaurant after its renovation by next week.”“Holy hell!” Davidson muttered but straightened his face immediately when his uncle glared at him. His heart was beating profusely in his chest, but he couldn’t bring himself to doubt what his uncle had just said.“Did I hear a complaint?!” Jones sneered and Davidson immediately shook his head in terror, holding his lips firmly with his hands.“Better…”“You would earn the same penny as every other staff and you wouldn’t be treated preferentially. If you disrespect or make life miserable for any of my new s
“You are such a pretentious liar!” Jones stated through gritted teeth. “It pains me because if my son was here today he would be older than you and probably you and your gold digger father wouldn’t have the opportunity of robbing me of my properties” He sneered.Davidson became mute, now tears ran freely from his eyes even though they were fake.“How do I make this old demon reconsider me? I thought my father always said he was soft-hearted and easygoing!” Davidson questioned himself even while kneeling on the floor.“Please, uncle!!! Please… don’t cast me away, I beg you. Even though you don’t forgive my dad, please have compassion towards me. My dad influenced me greatly, I wasn’t like this.” Davidson begged while he kept sobbing and sniffing to everyone’s hearing.Sebastian’s eyes widened, followed by a giggle. He took a sip out of his champagne glass before taking his eyes away from the pretentious Davidson. He was enjoying the scene.What better way of celebrating his victory, r
Hearing such a ridiculous amount, Davidson was perplexed and was beginning to feel overwhelmed. If a consultation fee costs a million bucks how much more is the main fee?The feeling of betrayal and guilt engulfed Davidson, how was he going to face his father after he entrusted him with such great responsibilities? Who would come to his rescue?“Dude? Please tell me, what is your suggestion for all of this? Going back to that old man who threw my father in jail isn’t even an option.” Davidson said, worry evident in his gaze.Donald glared at him now, the worry that was plastered on his face had suddenly morphed into irritation. “Are you even for real??? Instead of you being humble, you’re still calling him names. Go ask him to drop the charges, he is the only one who can help in this case.” Donald spat, even though his tone was low, ensuring he didn’t annoy any of the officers walking around.Davidson bit his fingers hard in regret, gritting his teeth in utmost frustration. The day w
As they walked through the very busy hallway of the police headquarters, the tension continued to build up in their bodies, spiking over the roof. With each step they took their heart had already beaten a million times.As they walked carefully, the officers on duty glared at them with furrowed brows making them tremble within. The police headquarters wasn’t a very pleasant place to be in. It could make a good excitation venue if only you were there for a good course. But with what brought them in, it was a no-no for Davidson and his friend.After a few minutes walk, they arrived at the senior Deputy’s office. Davidson who was already trembling with fear was asked some important questions before signing some important documents as his father's next of kin.“Seat here, he will be with you shortly.” The deputy said in a husky voice before he ordered the female police officer to bring Solomon out of the cell.The two friends were seated still, they hadn’t been so chilled and respectful
Davidson's eyes narrowed in disbelief, he stared at Donald with confusion and disappointment in his gaze. They had been friends for a long time and now things looked like they were falling apart for him Donald wanted to start acting differently.Damn! “What do you mean dude?” Davidson asked him.“If your father is really in jail, I’m sorry my father wouldn’t want me to associate with you for the sake of my safety.“ Donald stated with calmness and guilt brimming from every part of his face. He and Davidson had been friends since the beginning of their freshman year. They did everything together and even went on vacations during holidays. If Davidson who was his right-hand man had refused to accommodate him who will? It was adding up.“Sort things out with your uncle or better still go and look for your father. I need to go now, I have booked a taxi already.”Donald said before turning to leave.“Wait.. wait ..buddy… please wait.” His voice rang off stopping Donald. “Please, I can live
Davidson's eyes widened with shock, at first his emotion was a mixture of anger and shock due to the presence of the one he hated the most and the one who had snatched his political position away from his hands.But after some seconds, the anger had morphed into fear, shock, confusion, and worry when he realized his father could be in prison. He had been so preoccupied with his election duty that didn't yield any fruit that he forgot about the greater matter at hand. He felt his father had covered it after all.Damn!!! He stared deeply at all of them one after the other, unable to even utter any word. This thought had overclouded consciousness and it was taking a toll on him.“This fool…” He gritted his teeth in annoyance. Clenching his fist hard. “If it were normal circumstances, would this idiot have the rare privilege of sitting on my father’s expensive chair?” He kept muttering to himself unable to voice out due to the fear of his uncle who looked healthy and refurbished. He
