Sasha's eyes widened in shock, she moved her body backward abruptly while she stared at Steve. She was scared to her bones because she had never seen Steve in such form before. The sudden outburst was terrifying!“Whore?” She uttered in defense, her eyes blinking faster than usual in guilt.“Yes, you’re a freaking whore who sleeps around for peanuts!!” Steve exclaimed loudly, his chest pumping up and down in anger as he pointed to her face.Sasha’s mind began to reel, different thoughts clouded her mind and she immediately sensed Steve knew something he wasn’t supposed to know.Rather than sitting pretty and letting Steve rain curses on her, she stood up to counter all his allegations with a straight face.“How dare you call me names?!!!” Her voice rang off, her gaze piercing deep into Steve’s heart.“Huh??!” Steve uttered in shock.Sebastian on the other hand sat and watched how everything was playing out. He was satisfied because Steve’s reaction was one he had waited for so long.S
Four hours later….Sebastian felt light-headed, a sharp pain radiating through his neck when he regained consciousness.His eyes fluttered open gently, however, all his eyes could catch was total darkness. Everywhere seemed blanked and he was unable to see anything.He wiggled his neck a little from a pain sensation he felt, he tried to massage it a little but that was when reality kicked in and he realized he was tied down to a chair.The place had a distinct smell of plywood and timber, from his senses, he could easily tell he was in a furniture factory, but where? There was none around his school, which simply meant he was outside campus.He tried to untie himself from the bondage but each effort he gave, brought harsh lines to his wrist and it felt like his veins would rip off his wrist.“Who is in here?!” He called out boldly, although his heart was beating profusely in his chest due to the high dose of anesthesia that was administered to him unduly.“Hey!!!” A masculine and croo
The thugs massaged their temples in curiosity as they stared distinctively at each other. They marveled at how they had easily been bought over by their victim and even went as far as having a conversation with him.“What services do you speak of?!” The thug asked icily, still trying hard to maintain professionalism. Although there wasn’t any harm in trying to see if their victim had more stack to offer.“How much were you paid? just answer!” Sebastian repeated and they stared at each other before the leader finally uttered with a firm tone.“20k dollars, why do you ask?” He responded, unashamed of his disloyalty to those who had hired him first.Sebastian caressed his fingers and smiled, “How about I give you 100k dollars to carry out a reverse assignment for me?” Sebastian stated the deal but they scoffed in disbelief.Davidson and Donald had pre-fed them with a lot of misconception about the laundry man and they genuinely felt Sebastian had absolutely nothing to offer.“Tie him up,
“I know,” Sebastian responded with so much annoyance in his eyes as he clenched his jaw.“Do you want to go in?” They asked.Sebastian glared at them with anger in his eyes, “What would be the point of going in? Have you forgotten the plan?” He asked.They quickly looked away after shaking their heads in concurrence.Sebastian breathed deeply and his nostrils flared as he impatiently awaited those bullies to come out of the lounge. It was already 3 am, the environment was serene and people were already heading home from the lounge.More than anything he prayed Steve wasn’t going to walk out with those vipers, that would disrupt every atom of trust in his being. He was ready to even shut down the institute and just go back to his Dynasty away from the deceptive eyes of frenemies if that was the case. He burned within him, he was in pain and constant disbelief of Steve’s betrayal.“Boss… look!” One of the thugs called out to Sebastian’s attention.Some group of folks were coming out o
After a short conversation, the irritation in the receptionist's face quickly morphed into politeness. She dropped the gold-plated telephone on the desk and raised her gaze towards Steve.“You can go in now.” She stated politely following a slight nod.“I can? Oh sure, thank you.” Steve stated, his face brimmed with shock. Due to the ungodly hour he went into the skyscraper, he felt he would be denied access to the apartment but thank goodness!He had never experienced such a terror in his life. Where would he tell his parents he was before the kidnappers picked him up? His mind reeled with different thoughts but amongst all guilt had clouded his whole being.The one he had betrayed, he, was using his name to gain access for his safety.“I just hope Davidson does not harm Sebastian as agreed.” He muttered to himself, totally disappointed in his act but he was left with no choice.The elevator came to a halt and the door opened afterwards. He was on the last floor and at Mark’s apart
“Please, buddy! Please! Do not cast me away, I’m repentant and I regret every one of my stupid actions. Please forgive me!” Steve crawled towards Sebastian, he held his legs tightly and buried his face within his feet.Sebastian folded a bit, he loved Steve like a brother and could sense the sincerity in his demeanour. He understood why he acted that way and he was willing to give him a second chance.“Get up!” Sebastian ordered but Steve refused, he held tight to his feet and kept wailing and sulking in his tears.Sebastian exhaled deeply, it was indeed a great relief to know that Steve didn’t just want to backstab him, it gave him a sense of settlement and his being was calm for obvious reasons.“Get up, before I change my mind!” Sebastian’s voice returned sharply this time. Steve raised his head and looked at him and the anger in his face slowly morphed into what looked like neutral.Steve got up, wiped his face with the back of his palm, and took a seat on one of the couches in t
It was 8 am on a cold Thursday morning the next day, Sebastian and Steve had slept in the guest rooms so Steve wouldn’t suspect the apartment belonged to Sebastian.However, the abrupt echo of the doorbell made them fully awake and Sebastian got to his feet immediately while Steve remained in bed. Sebastian went to his master bedroom, checked through the security camera, and realized it was Jaden, the young hacker he had reached out to last night.Jaden was just seventeen and an international hacker from Uganda. Although he was based in Oakland and was the best in the game. Many banks and funds organizations used him to track fraudsters from all over the world.Ever since Steve had mentioned the blackmail to Sebastian, Sebastian took it upon himself to make sure he cleared whatever tool the bullies were using to blackmail Steve.Sebastian opted for the best in the game although Jaden was very pricy but also very confidential hence he invited him over.The gigantic door automatically
“This isn’t new! But you both have nothing to stress about. I recently got to know that Mr. Solomon’s hands ain’t clean.” Sebastian added with a grin which made Steve ponder about how much more Seb knew about Davidson.“But when we strike, We will make sure to destabilize them at once, in a way they would never recover,” Sebastian continued.However, while they were having their discussion, Steve’s phone ran off suddenly and it was Davidson.Steve glared at the caller ID without any emotion before his gaze darted towards Jaden and Sebastian, then he proceeded to pick up the call after Seb gave him a nod to go ahead. This time Steve’s demeanour was calm and his heart wasn’t beating profusely in his chest like it used to do whenever Davidson called.“Hello.” Steve’s voice came out strong and masculine, unlike his usual shaky demeanour His guard in shiny aarmourwas with him and he had nothing to be afraid of.“We have a meeting at the presidential dorm. You have ten minutes to be here!
