Albert’s arm was broken!

All he could do was grab the broken arm, cry and groan on the floor like an injured kid.He grew up been treated like an egg, this was the first time someone was actually being hard on him, and it was pretty bad.

As if a broken arm was not enough, August wanted to render more injuries, maybe break a leg and a couple of ribs.

“No…Please…please don’t,” fear took course on Albert as August approached him on the floor with a tightened fist. His body was already all swollen and bruised, whereagain did he intend to punch? If at all delivered, the punch would surely kill him no doubt.

Albert closed his eyes as he waited for the blow but it never came, all he heard was Tina’s weak voice.

“August, don’t!”Though she was very weak, she still managed to voice out those two words. She was quite aware of the consequences of August’s actions; beating up a Wade.It may cost August his life when the family decides to take revenge, which they would surely do.

    Albert had succeeded in convincing everyone in the room into believing his made up story, seemingly thanks to his mother as well, her ignorance and love for him made all of it possible.Mr Wade was greatly exasperated, his eyes were blood moon. He had always held great respect for the Does, but considering what Albert had made them believe, he felt nothing but anger towards Mr Doe and his daughter.How could a lady as young as Tina be so immodest to seduce a man in his own office. That was not the reason for his anger; she had the nerve to bring in a henchman into his company to beat up his own son, a Wade!What Mr Doe couldn’t understand was whyTina would do such a thing to his son knowing too wellshe was not just stepping on his tail but that of all the members of the Pentad billionaires."Mr Doe and his daughter has picked the wrong person to start a fight with. I'll make sure they regret the day they met my son," Mr Wade growled, curling his fist into a ball."My family and I are

    “Mr Doe, we have a big problem,” the lawyer’s voice trembling as he spoke. The man was already agitated after hearing the whole Pentad billionaires were up against him, and now his family lawyer was calling to say there is a big problem. “Problem? What do you mean by a big problem?” the man in him managed to ask. His voice shaky and laced with curiosity.“Sir, the Wades have filed a case against you and your daughter, charging you with Assault and battery. And do you know who the prosecuting attorneys are? Mr Wood Kingsley himself and two of his sons,” the man disclosed quickly.Mr Doe’s jaw dropped, leaving his mouth widely open. The news sent shivers down his spine, and the mention of the prosecuting attorneys made his body to almost leave his skin; he was terrified.Everybody in the city knew who the Kingsleys were, the legal powerhouse of the city. An extended family with Mr Wood as its patriarch and over thirty intelligent lawyers, they held significant seats in the country’s

    “Hello, Mr Doe. Am inspector Jack,” the inspector said pointing his badge to Mr Doe’s face. Mr Doe felt like snatching the badge from his hand and throwing it out of the window. But he was already in too much trouble already, it would be unwise to do that.“We have an arrest warrant for Miss Tina Doe, we have orders to take her to the court for her hearing,” the inspector said showing the piece of paper to Mr Doe. “Miss Tina Doe, you are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent, anything you say here will be used against you in the court of law,” the inspector said as he approached the bed where Tina was laying on. “Arrest her!” he instructed gesturing for his men to seize her.“Stop!” Mr Doe yelped angrily. “What sort of heartless officers are you? Can’t you see my daughter is sick and admitted in the hospital? What law allows a sick person barely strong enough to stand on their own to be arrested? The doctors said she have to be admitted for two days, until then she is goi

I will not go anywhere while my son is in terrible pains. I’ll stay with him, that’s the duty of a mother,” Mrs Wade retorted.“Come on, wouldn’t you like to be present when that slut for a daughter of Me Doe is dragged away to prison in handcuffs. I promise that will make you feel better, then we can return here immediately to Albert,” Mr Wade tried to convince his wife.But she was persistent, always petting Albert like he was a five year old, no wonder he was such a feeble.“No Karl, I can’t see my son is badly hurt who will be here to tell him sorry when he starts feeling pains on his body and broken arm.

    Albert was pissed, he had August tied to a chair and stood in front of him with a cricket bat. How could he be so fearless?He brows furrowed and his eyes reddened with rage. “What is she to you that you had to take so much risk for her? Only if you turned a blind eye, it wouldn’t have come to this. She would have enjoyed herself with me and I would have given a partnership she was desperately looking for.Now because of your actions, she is going to jail only the almighty knows how long, her father will become a pauper even poorer than the poorest beggar in this city and you... You will die coldly by my hand. You should have just walked away, it’s all your fault,” Albert growled angrily.“My fault?” August snorted. “How is it my fault? You are the one that drugged her and almost raped her, you are the one that spread lies about her seducing you in her office. How is that my fault.And what makes you think she will go to jail and her father will loose a penny, nor I will die in your h

  • The Elevation Of August Steve   The Court Hearing

    “You…” Albert startled. The phone slipped from his hand and dropped to the ground. It now made sense to him; the Mr Kane, August called was definitely the Gibson’s emissary. Of all the families in the country only the Gibson’s were capable of pulling such a thing up. But what he couldn’t understand was how August was related to Mr. Kane. “Wait a second, are you the secret Gibson heir?” he asked curiously, his mouth agape in bewilderment. Though rumors had circulated the city about a new Gibson heir after Mr. Gibson's passing, nobody actually knew who he was, as he had yet to present himself to the general public.August did not say a word but left out a cold smile, and that was enough for Albert to get the answer he inquired, he was actually the Gibson’s heir; the most wealthy and powerful person in the whole continent.He quickly dropped on his knees and forehead, kowtowing before the man he had been throwing insults at for the past thirty. He even slapped him!“Forgive my ignoranc

    "Thank you, your honor," Mia sneered. "For the past ten months, Tina has persistently visited Mr Wade's office under the guise of discussing a potential partnership. However, she has secretly confessed to me that her true motive was an unending admiration for Mr Albert Wade. In reality, she was going there to charm him with her beauty. But Albert had never shown interest in her. She called me yesterday, and told me over the phone that she have had enough of Albert’s ignorance of her and she was going there today to seduce him…” Tina’s mouth dropped agape as Mia narrated the worst lie ever told in front of the whole court. Tina was completely bewildered by the lies coming out from the witch she had for a best friend all these years. There was nothing Tina despised more than seeing Albert’s ugly face. How could Mia say such lies against her? If Tina could remove the handcuffs on her hands she would walk right up to the witness box Mia was standing in, not minding whether it was a cou

    "You animal!" Mr Wade growled angrily as he jumped to his feet. His brows furrowed, and his fists clenched in rage as Mia exposed August as the one who had beaten his son black and blue.“He is the henchman?” Mrs Wade startled. “Somebody should arrest this moron already!” She added annoyingly gesturing at the inspector that had apprehended Tina earlier.Barrister Kingsley was stunned to see him, Mr Turner had instructed Damien to find and execute the supposed henchman. How come he is still alive?He then thought Damien and his men were after August that he became very afraid and came to surrender himself to the law. “All the same, either he dies by Damien’s or he gets years of imprisonment from the judge, the Pentad Society will have its way!” Barrister Kingsley thought to himself.August then stride quickly to where Barrister Mike was seated with Mr Doe, he bent down and whispered something into the attorney’s ear and the man’s eyes went widely open in disbelief. “Are you sure?” he s

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.

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

    ****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
