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!
THE DEAL DAY…..The long-awaited day was finally here, it was the morning of the election, and also a sunny day. However very gloomy in Davidson’s family house or better said Mr Jones’s mansion.Davidson was agitated and provoked by his father, it was bad for his mood since that day was of great significance to him. He had a little misunderstanding with his dad due to his father's frustration with not being able to find his elder brother, Jones so he could silence him forever.Davidson had pleaded for his father's exotic Rolls Royce to add to his convoy but his father unapologetically declined not agreeing to dance to Donald’s tune this time. However, due to obvious reasons.He had been restless ever since he found out about Jones and his inability to find him made him anxious and frustrated. He needed to act fast because he knew everything he owned belonged to his elder brother and he knew deep in his heart his brother was going to strike back. That was the more reason he needed to
Sebastian and his entourage drove into the huge gate of St psalms institute in the grandest style. Their convoy was exquisite and finely arranged with the best sort-after cars, cars whose editions hadn’t even been made public.Benjamin had carefully ordered the best cars for Sebastian, even though Seb had refused to go around school with them. It was ordered directly from the brand and was customized to fit his person.From the high gates of the institute, students were astonished and perplexed to see such a fleet of cars in real life. Especially because they were limited editions. They brought out their phones to record the scene. Due to the entourage of finely selected machines, they believed the real owner of the institute had decided to witness the school's elections.“Oh my goodness! This set of cars is only available on demand. They cost a fortune!”“These Bentleys aren’t anybody’s mates, damn!”“This must be the owner of the school, you can’t tell me otherwise!”“Don’t be so c
A sudden rush of cold air engulfed Davidson and Donald’s skin. Their expression was a mixture of shock, anger, and pain when they raised their heads to see it was Sebastian they were bowing for. Donald gritted his teeth in annoyance and quickly walked out in shame. He couldn’t stand the humiliation.“Sebastian Sone? This is the sleekest entrance in the history of the St Psalms event. No student has ever matched that!”“I don’t think this guy is just a laundryman, there’s more to his name!”Davidson had walked out of the scene with shame, he had gone to meet Donald, their eyes were red and we were almost clouded with hot tears.“This dude is playing mind games! This stupid dude is freaking playing mind games.” Davidson sneered and Donald concurred with undiluted pain and hatred brimming from every angle of his face.“The students now see him as the coolest dude on campus. How the hell did he get out of the kidnappers….” Donald froze, his mind reeled backward to the time he thought he
Davidson glared at Stanley with anger and worry laced in his eyes before he forcefully snatched the phone away from Standley's grip.He stared at the video with shock glistening from every corner of his eyes, anger brimmed through his countenance, and his eyes were turning dark and darker. He clenched the phone very hard in his palm like he was squeezing life out of it."Who did this?!" He barked not minding if his voice dragged the attention of the students around.His chest was pumping up and down in anger, he first released the tie that suddenly felt like it was strangling him. His eyes were still fixed on the phone looking at the horrid comments that were popping up on the screen."Arggghhhh!!!" He growled and tossed the phone hard on the cemented floor, causing it to dissemble into parts.Davidson was poisoned with betrayal, he couldn't believe one person from his cycle would do that to him. That video call happened last night and there was no other explanation to justify how the
