Don Soriano, Arturo and Esmeralda were waiting for Brandon. He wanted to show him his army.

“Here are the best Ten. Pick any one of your choice. Pay details to the specific things that you want”

There were about a hundred aside the best ten Don Soriano set aside for him. Brandon walked in, their midst scrutinizing the man. He noticed there were a few women in their midst. “You” and “You” “Step aside”

“What are you doing? Picking from the hundred instead of the best ten?” Sir Dawson mocked Brandon’s choices.

“What are your names?” “I am Madrigal Sir!” the man said in a husky voice. “That was unexpected you look cooler than the way you sounded”, Brandon said to him. You will be my new body guard. “What’s your name?” he said to the girl.

“Natalie, Sir” she answered sharply. “I have made my choice, father.”

“Your reasons are best known to you! Choosing these ones means you have a lot of work to do on them.”

“I know father. I will do more than I am expected”.

“I knew Arturo rained those best ten personally so they would be loyal to Arturo and not me! I would build my team myself!” Brandon said to himself.

“Here is the Certificate of ownership. You now own your first small win”. Don Soriano handed it to Arturo, who gave it to Brandon. He opened the envelope. It was to own Sillverio’s company.

Coupled with the complexity surrounding acquiring a multi-billionaire company, Brandon found it hard to believe his father truly got the company in his own name.

“Yes, believe what you see, you have two weeks to get prepared. Your work starts then. You have an assignment waiting for you!” Don Soriano left with his convoy.

“There's somewhere I want us to go!” Brandon said to Madrigal and Natalie. “Our first outing together, I don’t like what you’re wearing!”

Madrigal and Natalie wore army camouflage “We will go change, Sir” they both chorused.

Brandon intended to see Esmeralda now that he was in a good mood, the new owner of Silverio’s company. “Hey, can I have a word with you?”

“NO, she’s with me!” Sir Dawson responded rudely. “I know Toy-Boy it's about business, your mother will be back soon”, Brandon taunted Sir Dawson. He was furious and aimed at Brandon to hit him. He was held back, his arm was twisted backward by Madrigal.

Brandon laughed out loud. He wasn’t expecting Madrigal and Natalie to turn up that fast. “I’m starting to like the choices I made.”

“Stop it! Let him be!” Esmeralda accepted Brandon’s invitation to have a word with her. “Make it snappy ! I have places to be”, Esmeralda said, flaunting her hair.

“That’s rude talking to the new CEO” “I care less about who you are! What do you what?” She asked in haste.

“I don’t forget things easily, Miss Esmeralda,” Brandon said arduously.

“I just wanted to let you know, I’m here to be your rival, but I have changed my mind. I would love to combat with you!” Brandon left Esmeralda there despite being the one who called her.

“Look who called me rude? Leaving me here all by myself and he even dared to call a combat with me?” “What audacity!” She scoffed.

“Did he ask you out?” Sir Dawson domineered over Esmeralda. “Get a hold of yourself. You have done enough today”. She angrily walked out on him.

Sir Dawson hurried off to catch up with her. Hitting everyone he met on his way.

“I am shifting our engagement day forward or should I make it sooner?” Dawson asked Esmeralda, locking his lips as he asked her with predaciousness.

“I am not scared of you Sir. Dawson, my father must have agreed to our marriage, but I called the shots. I will think about it.”

“If you would excuse me now, I want to work.” Natalie asked to see Esmeralda from her secretary.

“Let her in” she responded. “What does he want this time?” She asked wearily.

“You need to accompany him to a place. It's an official outing” “He is really stepping on my toes”

“Lead the way” Esmeralda got to where Brandon was waiting for her. “Go, I’m taking my own car!”

“You’re defying my orders, miss Esmeralda” Brandon said jokingly. “My time is precious to me!” she replied bluntly”.

Madrigal drove the car while Natalie guarded Brandon. “We are going to Crown Hall’s Mall!”

Madrigal turned the car around sharply, making the car tires give out a loud screening sound.

“I love the sound of that!” Brandon said, relaxing.

Madrigal came to a stop inside the mall. Brandon stood outside in front of the mall. “It still feels like a dream, I used to work here. A few days ago, it felt so good knowing that I bought it.”

“Why are we here? I have more than enough groceries at home”, Esmeralda grumped, coming out of her own car.

“What do you want Sir? How may I help you?” “You must be the new employee?” Brandon reoiled the man.

“Yes sir! What should I get for you?” “Call the senior Manager for me.” The new sales representative was hesitant. “It’s no problem, I just want to have a word with him.”

“Hi, I am the manager Sir!” “Come with me!” “No Mr. Cassanova, let us talk here”

The senior manager was shocked as he couldn’t comprehend how the neatly dressed rich man knew his name. “I don’t think I know you sir!” he said with a mild grin.

Brandon removed his Bold Sun shades. “Still don’t recognize me?” “Yes Sir, I don’t ”

“There was a blonde guy that used to walk here. I want to see him”, Brandon pretended. The makeover was so perfect that even though he had worked with Mr.Cassanova for quite a while now, he still couldn’t recognize him.

“He didn’t show up and the business had to move on” the manager said, still smiling. “He bought this company !” Brandon said to Mr. Cassanova.

Mr Cassanova laughed uncontrollably, “you….. You….. Said? You mean Brandon bought this place? Tell me a better joke”

“OK, I need to tell you this. He defrauded the company before he left, collected an early fee without working for it.”

“You are either in the wrong place or you want to see someone else. I need to get back to work. Another VIP like you is here.” Mr Cassanova replied, still laughing at Brandon.

“Show him the proof of ownership”. Natalie handed it over to Mr Cassanova. He couldn’t believe his eyes. He looked closely at Brandon. “Are you his brother?” “Yes.”

Esmeralda hugged Brandon out of the blue, dragging him away from Mr.Cassanova, who was dumbfounded. “I would never underestimate anyone again, if what you are saying is true.”

“Why, what is going on?” “Why did you drag me away from that place?”

“Esmeralda?!” A coarse, strong male voice called out to her.

Esmeralda placed Brandon’s hands on her waist, looking deep into his eyes. She kissed him forcefully.

    “Thank You Brandon, right?” Esmeralda smiled, asking if she got the name right. “I am caught in the moment!” “What just happened?” “You moved on so fast. I wasn’t expecting you to,... you know. Isn’t it so fast or should I say it took you so long to get over this pretty face!” The strange man pestered Esmeralda.Brandon stepped in to defend Esmeralda. “Who is he?” He asked decisively. “Opps! she didn’t tell you about me. No qualms,I am…….”Esmeralda jumped into the conversation right before the man could answer Brandon’s question. “He is a nobody. Let’s leave now, she said, jittering”, forcing herself into composure. They left the mall and moved towards the car. “Do you want to talk about it or some other time?” Esmeralda maintained her silence.Whatever effect that man had on her would be of great interest to me. “Would you like to take your car or you ride with me?” Brandon asked in a meaning to console Esmeralda.

    THREE YEARS LATER. Brandon brushed his long golden hair to one side as he carried a little girl with curled blonde hair in his arm as a young, tall boy stood next to him. "Mummy," the little girl said, forcing herself down into his strong arms to greet a woman who seemed to have attracted her attention. "Vanessa, we missed you." Brandon hugged and kissed her. "It was just three days; stop acting like I spent the whole year away, and it was fun—sure, you don't want us to come together with you?" she asked, leaning on his strong arms. "Take care of the kids; I need to go now." Brandon planted a kiss on her head. "Keep the family safe till Daddy returns!" he said, roughening the young boy’s hair. "Please be safe; we’ll be waiting for you at home." Vanessa kissed him, and he smacked her ass. "Stop—the children are here!" Brandon entered the garage at the back of the building.

"Yes boss, I guess they’re packing, but they haven’t left.He raced up to his room to get the original documents from his safe. "Do you think she’ll talk if we give her?" Madrigal asked him closely, knowing how important it was to his plans. "My child, I need to confirm if it’s true; I can save Vanessa, but if he’s really pregnant, the babay might die; you know RAD, he’s brutal; I’ll do anything to save my child," Brandon responded, picking it up and closing the safe.

Torillio lurked on the balcony on top of his house looking at the other houses in the street and the lightened up neighborhood. " I used to enjoy these," he whispered, puffing out smoke. "That phone, I found with Anton, Olvido's right-hand man, the one I almost got framed for him murder, linked with RAD, the phone repairer was found dead and the phone is missing, you caused it, I couldn't monitor him" "Arturo—you made a stupid mistake.

" It looks so peaceful—the kind of life I cherish is near, I can feel it," he said to Madrigal, sitting next to him in the driver's seat. "Yes Brandon—about that man, Lamar, don’t you think he’s dangerous? I didn't want you to see him," Madrigal streched adjusting his seat to fit his back, as the lane they were on wasn't moving.Lamar had met them at home earlier, before they set out. He claimed to he came there to deliver some packages to Hailey but she wasn't home. He then went ahead to ask Brandon’s men that he seeked audience with the boss." I don't think he is—and he looks familiar I just can’t fugure it out," Brandon responded as he gleaned over the car’s window. " Jordan, don’t you think he’s hdidng something? He just menstioned only Hailey—I know she’s connected to RAD but do you think he would send that much men just to defend her?" Brandon questioned him. The thouts
