August jeered after Bob’s whisper. “Then today will be his first, and it is going to be before me,” August said in a low tone his composure still calm.

Bob’s lips tightened, he glared at August with contempt. “I can see you are not just delusional but also schizophrenic. You are going to take your fantasies to hell!”

He then gestured at Tina and left out an ugly smile. “Come here pretty, I’m dying to touch my hands on your enticing body. Come to me,” he said licking his lips.

Tina who was already clutching August’s arm, but hearing this she tightened her grip and moved a bit behind him in fear. She had just met Bob, but it seemed the hatred she had towards him was five times more than that she had for both Albert and Tom combined. What a ridiculous man!

Even with a broken arm, all Bob cared about was his selfish desires towards the beautiful lady before him. He looked like a dog while licking his lips, and he didn’t stop doing it.

    “Two things? I will do anything you want, just please don’t kill me,” Bob pleaded desperately quivering in fear.August sneered, it amused him when he saw how scared Bob had become when death was mentioned. Just few minutes ago he was bragging about being the son to the King of Boys and now even his father was equally trembling in August’s presence. “First, you will apologize to Tina for touching her indecently without her permission. If she forgives you, then I can tell you what the second condition is,” August disclosed with a sly chuckle.Without hesitation, Bob crawled to Tina. “Please forgive me miss, it was very wrong of me to touch you without your permission, I’m deeply sorry, please forgive me!” he pleaded frustratingly.Tina was too appalled to say a word, she took in the sight quietly and puzzled. Her mind was a whirl of questions; how did August got the great Don Maxino and his son on their knees in front of him? Was August using some kind of magical spare on him or what?

    Tina starred at August intriguingly, her eyes were a mixture of curiosity and confusion. Why wouldn’t she be confused? She just witnessed Don Maxino embraced himself in fear in front of August. Not only that, he went ahead to break his only son’s arm without hesitation in order to please August. And who was August? A loser who fell into Mia’s gimmicks and was abandoned for the richer Tom. Why wont she demand an explanation! August wished he could disappear from Tina’s presence and leave the questions unanswered. He knew the only way out of this situation was through a well told lie. But what lie could he give to explain what just happened. Tina was such a smart lady, she wouldn’t be easily convinced.“Would you say something already, August. Your silence is killing me,” Tina spat as August hesitated.August needed to say something, but what? He considered lying about being friends with Don Maxino but quickly realized that wouldn’t be believable, given Maxino's feared status. He thou

    It was the question that remembered Tina that she had brought August with her. “Oh!” she exclaimed in realization. “Mom, George, this is August Steve, he is with me”. Tina responded with a smile on her face.“August, meet my mom and my brother, George,” she introduced pointing at Mrs Doe and George.“Nice to you meet you ma. And you too man, nice to meet you all,” August smiled cheerily.But Mrs Doe did not say a word, instead she scrutinized him from head to toe. August was not comfortable with how she continually gazed at him, but he did not say a word and stood still smiling sheepishly.After staring at him for over thirty seconds, she then stared him in the face. “Your outfits its nice. It looks quite expensive,” she said slowly.“Thank you,” August said oddly as he forced a smile.The woman then gestured at her daughter and asked: “What again did you say his name is?” “August,” Tina said quickly.“I mean his last name,” she emphasized.“Steve. August Steve,” Tina responded.“Ste

    “Mom!” Tina exclaimed frustratingly, her eyes widened. “How could you say something like that?” Though August was not happy with her accusations, he was not at all offended when she claimed they were lovers. Only if Mrs Doe knew how desperate he wished her assertions were true. “Why won’t I?” Mrs Doe snapped. “If I am wrong then, explain to me why you are friends with this church rat? Oh, I can see what is going on here: this pauper wants to take advantage of you so that he can become a son in law of the Does so that he could wash off his poverty,” Mrs Doe accused confidently. She then paced towards August and whispered slowly. “Your plans will not work, not while I’m still alive. My family will never have a live-in son-in-law like you!” She declared disdainfully. August was exasperated, he secretly clenched his fist in anger. If the woman before him was not Tina’s mom, he would have unleashed hell on her. How could she claim August would be a live-in son-in-law to the Does? Th

    Mrs. Doe was exasperated, her face flushed a deep crimson and her eyes were blazing with a molten lava. “You wretched swine! How dare you interrupt while I’m speaking to my daughter?” She spat with a frown. “No mom, he didn’t mean to—” “Shut it Tina, I was not speaking you,” Mrs Doe snapped with a stern. She turned returned her enraged face back at August. “Tina will only get married to whoever I want, and there is nothing you can do about it. So, if you’re not so comfortable with my decision, the door is widely open. You should get out of my house! Moreover, you are not welcome here anyways,” she added firmly. August was equally seething with rage. How could Mrs. Doe, as a mother, force her own daughter to marry someone she didn’t even know? In that moment, August found himself wishing Tina had no mother at all, as he had previously thought till an hour ago. In as much as he was in disapproval in her course, she was still Tina’s mom.

    “You won’t believe who is here with us,” she jeered, her eyes fixed on Tina. “I’m standing right in front of your future wife. She looks a thousand times more gorgeous than when last I saw her, seven years ago. You are one lucky man, Boris!”“Really? You are on your way here?” Mrs Doe exclaimed. “Okay fantastic, see you soon,” she added before hanging the call.In excitement she disclosed. “Guess what, Tina; Boris Harrington is actually on his way here to come see you”.Unlike her, Tina frowned at the news. “I don’t want to see him!” She growled under clenched teeth.August’s blood boiled vigorously, he was seething with rage at the moment. Though he had never met this so called handsome son-in-law personally, his mind was a whirl of only negative things he will do to him. The idea of giving his security a call and instructing them secretly, to find him and beat him to a pulp before he arrived the Doe’s mansion crossed his mind.Just as the thoughts roamed his mind, the mansion’s door

    Tina’s jaw dropped and her eyes widened with shock. “Uh? What did you just say,” she stammered out. “You are not aware?” Boris asked cheerily. “I can see your mom is yet to disclose the good news. Well then, it is my pleasure as your husband to tell you personally; our wedding will take place on the fortnight from today,” he disclosed enthusiastically.“You are joking right?” Tina startled, taking a step backwards. She was yet to approve on the marriage in the first place and her mom had even agreed on a suitable wedding date already? She was just a puppet to her, period!“No dear, you are shocked right? Just like you said in the love letters you sent me, I’m also desperate to get married to you as soon as possible,” Boris said with a smile curled on his lips.Tina was bewildered, she returned a puzzled gaze at him; staring at him like she had just heard a ghost spoke. “Love letters?” she stammered out.“Yes, Tina there is no need to be shy, I’ve always taken my time to read all the

Tina’s face twisted with confusion, her chest tightening as she struggled to make sense of her friend’s words."It’s only been four months, Tina. Four months!" Mia hissed, holding up four fingers as she stepped closer, her voice barely a whisper. "And already, you’re flirting with my husband. Don’t you have any shame?"Tina’s jaw dropped with the weight of the accusation hanging in the air. She opened her mouth to speak but the words were stuck in her throat.August frowned, he was already angered enough that Mia walked in to disrupt this special moment. Accusing Tina even made him angrier. Husband? What was Mia even talking about?"Is it really so hard for you to find your own man? Why must you meddle in my marriage?"

    The atmosphere was calm and steady when a convoy of ten cars arrived and parked in the parking lot of a certain restaurant in the city.A total of thirty to forty security men dressed in sleek black suits with black glasses on emerged from the vehicles. They scanned the surroundings with sharp precision before one of them opened a car door, revealing August.Since he wasn’t hiding his identity anymore, Mr. Kane insisted he took so much security with him.The onlookers were stunned by the grandeur of the convoy, so they began to gather around, curious to see which powerful figure would emerge from the cars."Look! It's the Gibson heir!" one exclaimed, pointing towards August with wide eyes as recognition spread through the crowd. “Oh my, he’s even more handsome in person. I can’t stop blushing,” one of the women in the crowd gushed.“I need to get a picture with him. The most powerful man in the city! That’ll blow up my social media for sure,” another chimed in as he eagerly retrieved

    "Nice question. That’s what you should’ve asked earlier, instead of throwing insults at us," Mr. Turner sneered. He leaned back, then added calmly, "Aren’t you going to offer us a seat first? Maybe some wine? Then we can start talking." “Why should I? You are not welcome guests in my house,” Alexander snapped.“Believe me we are, you will consider us the most valuable guests in eight years after you’ve heard what we have to say”.Still frowning, Alexander hesitantly gestured towards a couch without saying a word and the men made themselves comfortable."And what about the wine? Haven’t you had your servants bring it yet?" the obese Mr. Montclair asked, his tone laced with curiosity."No one’s giving you anything—not even water," Alexander snapped, his voice edged with irritation. "Now, tell me why you’re here and leave!""Relax, Alexander," Mr. Turner interjected, trying to lighten the mood. "Don’t mind Montclair, the man’s always hungry. His wife even complains that he wakes up in t

    "Of course we remember," one of the men snapped, his frustration evident. "He was disowned and banished after his father discovered he was behind the attack and framed his own brother for it. But what does that have to do with saving ourselves?""Gosh, how can you be so shortsighted?" Mr. Turner groaned, slamming his hand against his forehead. "If Mr. Wade were still here, he'd understand exactly what I mean. The rest of you are no better than children!”Mr. Turner sighed, lowering his voice to a near whisper. “We all know how obsessed Alexander has always been with becoming the heir. What if we join forces with him, convince him to reclaim what he believes is rightfully his? He’s selfish and ruthless—he’ll agree. Not only would we save ourselves, but we’d also form a powerful alliance with the new Gibson heir once he takes control.”The other three men exchanged uneasy glances, they were clearly not buying with Mr. Turner’s idea."How is that even possible?" Mr. Kingsley snapped. "No

    Let's Save Ourselves

    ****In the living room of the Turner mansion, Mr. Turner lounged comfortably on the couch, his face hidden behind a newspaper as the television played softly in the background."These damn headlines again!" he spat, tossing the paper aside in frustration. "Six days, same nonsense. I'm done with it."He stood up, gesturing towards the television he frowned, "Even the news on TV is boring these days. I’d rather go fry in the sun than watch another second of this mind-numbing news," he muttered under his breath as he prepared to leave the room.Just as he turned to walk away, something on the television made him halt in his tracks."It's no secret to anyone in this country that the Gibson family's heir, Mr. Gibson, tragically passed away a few months ago..." Mr. Kane's voice came through the speakers."Mr. Kane? What's he doing on the news now?" Mr. Turner's brows knitted in confusion as he turned back to face the television. "At last, finally the Gibson heir has decided to unveil himse

    Boris's heart pounded in terror as he caught the burning rage in Mr. Kane’s eyes. "Him... the Gibson heir? Impossible!" he stammered, clutching his chin in disbelief.Mr. Kane, seething with fury, unleashed a brutal kick to Boris’s stomach, knocking the air from his lungs. Boris doubled over, groaning in agony. "You ignorant fool!" Kane spat, delivering another vicious kick. "You're only breathing because of the young master. How dare you disrespect him like that?"Grabbing Boris by the collar, Mr. Kane yanked him up to his feet with a rough pull. As soon as Boris stood, Kane slapped him twice across the face with resounding force."Just a few days ago, your coward of a father was on the phone with me, begging for your life, too scared to face Don Maxino himself. I refused, but the young master? He went. He's the reason you were spared that day. Frankly, he should have let you die!" Mr. Kane sneered before going ahead to slap his face a few more.While Mr. Kane continued to punish Bor

    "What do you mean?" Boris frowned, his brows knitting together as he looked both offended and confused.August smiled nonchalantly and shook his head mockingly. "Despite how bad you’ve treated me, I’d be generous and tell you to escape through the backdoor before the next two minutes," he said, his smile fading."Or else what?" Boris growled, his eyes narrowing with rage."You have one minute left," August replied ignorantly, his chuckle sly.James, flushed red with fury, stormed up to August and slapped him hard across the face. "You piece of shit! Will it kill you to stop bluffing?" he spat, seething. Gesturing to one of his men, he added, "Go get the sedatives and psyche-twisters. Since he can't keep quiet, we’ll make sure he does."Boris scoffed. "Such a shame, August, you’ll not be awake to hear our pleasure moans. By the time you wake up, we'll be long gone, and you'll be surrounded by the police. Maybe you should've kept your mouth shut." With a mocking laugh, he gripped the ri

    August was exasperated, despite being at the mercy of Boris and James, he didn't seem to be afraid of them. "I wouldn't threaten me if I were you!"Boris's face flushed red with rage, he frowned and slapped August two more times. "Don't test me, you filthy waiter. You are at my mercy yet you dare to speak such nonsense. With just a snap of my fingers; these men will hit you to death," Boris warned, his voice trembling with rage."Try, if you have the balls," August sneered slyly. He knew Boris and James needed him alive too well to take all the blame for what they planned to do to Tina. No matter how far he pushed Boris, all he got was a slap or two across the face."That's enough, Boris," James interjected, gripping Boris’s arm as he prepared to strike August again. "I see what he’s trying to do, but what’s the point of hitting him? He’s already in a worse position. The charge for rape and murder is death by hanging—unless the judge is feeling generous, in which case it might be life

    Seeing that August was no longer a threat as he was tied to a chair, a smug smile painted on Boris face."I thought you were the almighty Iron fist; you knocked me out with just a punch and look at what you did to James' face. I was beginning to think you would knock all these men down with your Iron fist. But Maybe I overrated you, you are not as strong as I thought"August seethed with rage. If he could untie just one of his hand, then he would've shown Boris just how much he deserved to be called Iron fist like he was mocking him. "I swear this time I'll make sure I knock you off for good" August growled.Boris then frowned and slapped his face hard. "You are lucky we need you alive for our plan or I would've killed you already!" Boris spat angrily yanking August's chin before slapping it again."Stop hitting him," Tina protested defensively. "Your problem is with me, right? You already have me, what do you want from him?" She asked frustratingly.James then approached Tina and ru
