“Oh look Mrs Doe, your son-in-law has already peed in his pants— he promise to help us get back our money but it seems he is the one that needs the help now. Poor fellow, he shouldn’t have messed with Don Maxino if he knew he wasn’t so Influential. Oh my, we shouldn’t have put our faith in him, I thought he was someone from a very influential family. It turned out he is just another average kid with some dirty guts,” one of the protestants said in a low tone, her voice tinged with disdain.“Oh my gosh, I can’t believe he was bluffing all this while, what kind of a man piss on himself after speaking with so much authority. Don Maxino will show him no mercy, he even had the balls to slap him on his face,” another chimed in.Mrs Doe was ashamed, she thought Boris would have the store owner return all the protestants money and they will sing her praises for having such a powerful family. But right at the moment her reputation was a stepping mat in front of the protestants.“You people mis
Tina panicked as Don Maxino’s eyes remained fixed on her, demanding an answer. She considered revealing that they had met at a cafeteria while she was with August. However, she feared that Don Maxino might become enraged remembering the incident from that day—when he had been forced to break his own son's hand. Tina was still bewildered by why Don Maxino was so fearful of August and complied with all his demands.The best option to think of was to deny they had not met before. “No—no We’ve not met before, I think you are mistaken,” she stammered.“She? There is no way you could’ve possibly met her before. You are surely mistaking her for someone else,” Boris snorted with disdain. “Her father is not as significant as mine, more reason why her mother should take my punishment. I have an idea, why don’t you spare me and I’ll go talk to my dad, He will definitely listen to me and return all the money he backstabbed you and refuse to share with you thirty years ago,” Boris said slyly.Don
****At the Gibson’s grand mansion, August and Mr Kane were seated in the living room. Mr Kane was enlightening him about the things he was yet to know about the Gibson family; their businesses, the people acquainted with the family, his grandfather, parents...As they discussed on, Mr Kane’s phone shrilled. He frowned and ignored the phone completely when he realized who was calling. But in as much as he ignored the call, the person at the other did not stop calling.“Your phone is ringing, Mr Kane why won’t you answer it?” August asked intriguingly.“Young master, the call is not worth a response in your presence, it is no one of significance. It is Mr Harrington, he only calls when he is in help and needs help. I wonder what trouble he is in now. But I’ve given him enough help, he’ll have to deal with this one by himself,” Mr Kane snorted dismissively.Harrington? Was that not Boris’ last name? Boris used his family’s last name to brag in every twenty minutes, why would August not
“I guess its Aurora Diamonds, that’s the only store I know that is owned by Don Maxino,” Mr Kane disclosed, still puzzled.“Get a car to take me there, right now!” August instructed with a firm tone. Mr Kane could not understand why August wanted to go to the store all of a sudden, but seen his facial expression, he knew best not to ask questions. “On it young master, but would you not want me to come with you?” Mr Kane inquired.August shot him a glare and turned him down with a shrug, “No, I can handle it by myself,” he retorted.****Back at Aurora Diamonds the onlookers were horrified watching Don Maxino’s men slap Boris hard across his face. Though they had barely slapped him up twenty times, his face was all bruised and swollen with over 9980 slaps to go.Don Maxino glanced at his wrist, “come on boys, what the hell!” he yelped with a temper. “Is it that hard to give a powerful slap? You boys are rather romancing his face with those baby slaps. For goodness sake, someone hit th
“Forgive me for not recalling she was the lady with you at the cafeteria that day,” Don Maxino continued to plead, his voice trembling uncontrollably.He then gestured at his men, “you fools, what are you still doing there standing? Come kneel and plead for forgiveness from the young Gibson, you have slapped his friends face till it’s swollen. Beg for his mercy lest he have all your hands cut off!” August was not actually mad at Don Maxino and his men. Infact he was excited that they taught Boris a lesson he’ll live to remember, he deserved it!“Friend?” August sneered as he turned his gaze towards Boris. Though he had only been slapped for a few times his face had become swollen and shapeless, he looked like a swine at the moment. He couldn’t raise to his feet, he remained on the floor groaning in pain. “He is not my friend,” August dismissed. “He-he isn’t your friend?” Don Maxino stammered out, his face turning back menace. “If this bastard is not friends with the young Gibson, I’
At the hospital where Mrs Doe was taken, Tina panted on the corridor in front of the room. She paced back and forth several times, her shoe clinking on the ceramic tile. She and her mom have been apart for seven years, she had just return home with George barely a week ago, she would feel terrible and devastated if something were to happen to her.As she continued to ponder in front of the hospital room, the door finally opened and a doctor and a nurse emerged. “Doctor, please tell me my mom is okay, please tell me she is fine and out of danger. Please tell me that,”. Tina persuaded keenly.“Relax, Tina,” the doctor sighed. “I can’t lie to you, I’ll be frank with you: your mom is stable for now but I can’t promise you she is out of danger,” the doctor disclosed.“But why? You are the doctor, it is your duty to make sure she is alright and out of danger. What is this you are telling me now, that you can’t do your job?” she asked devastatingly.“It is not like that, my dear Tina,” the
Tina might’ve been friends with Mia for a very long time but it seems she was not quite aware of who her son called friend truly was.“Will you stop it there with your nonsense. I’m a business woman, and I keep away emotions away when handling businesses, what if she played motherly role in my life when I lost my mom as a child. Did I ask her to that? Don’t make it sound like I owe her a thing cause I don’t!” She spat callously.Tina was stunned to hear that from Mia. While they were both six years ago, Tina lost her mom and her father was up and down with business that he couldn’t have time to read her bed time stories nor pick her up from school or play any motherly role in her life.When Tina’s mom discovered this, she brought Tina to come stay with them for over three years where she took care of her like she were her own flesh and blood.But now that an opportunity presented itself for her to return the good deeds the woman did form her when she was still a child, she seems not t
His words lit a little form of light in Tina. “You’re O-?” she startled, her face beginning to gleam bright. “Are you sure you of what you are saying. How is it possible that you are O-?” she tried to doubt his words.“What are you saying Tina? I’ve been donating free blood to the hospital for over three years now. I know exactly what my blood group is, I’m O-negative,” August explained.“That’s great!” Tina exclaimed in excitement, a profound smile crawling her face. “Thank goodness, August, you’re an angel right now. Quickly, let’s go to the doctor and tell him I’ve found a donor,” Tina excited, led the way as they headed to the doctor’s office.The thirty minutes had already elapsed and the doctor was also leaving his office to come prepare Tina for a bone marrow transplant, they met on the walkway. Tina excitingly disclosed to the doctor that August was O-negative and is capable of donating blood to save her mother.The doctor arranged for August’s blood group testing and screeni
