Brandon walked inside the house, it was full of people, his in-laws and Aliana’s friends. “This was all planned without me?” Brandon said to himself.
Alianna is of average height, thick long black hair, dashing sexy red lips; her body is an art to be studied.She sat down right next to her father, Sir Alvarez, who ran a multimillionaire company.‘That dumb, wretched, poor man. I still wonder what you saw in him to have married him”, Grandpa Alvarez said.“YOU should let the pauper go his way, he doesn’t deserve you” one of Aliana's friends said.Brandon watched as they rained words and demeaning utterance right in Brandon’s presence.“Good evening Sir Alvarez”, Brandon breaks the ice. They ignored him and kept talking.“Aliana, there is someone I want you to meet” her father said to her.Brandon had had enough of their humiliation. He left the place before the visitor came in. “Here, junior, this is the gift I got for you”. Brandon handed the gift to Junior.Filled with a grin, he collected the gift and opened it. “Wow! Dad, this is just what I want”, junior hugged his father.“Good evening sir, there is a delivery for you! The gatekeeper said to Brandon.“I don’t have any delivery. It must be a mistake or is it meant for Aliana?”“They’re for me. Come out everyone, come see what I got for Junior”, the strange man called them all out.“it was a truck full of toys, video games and lots of chocolate”“Thank you Mr Silverio” junior said as he dumped the gift his father gave him, running into the van.“That’s from our company”, Brandon said as he questioned the driver.“That man/s name also rings a bell! Yes, that was the name of the person who had a brawl with a customer a few minutes ago.”Aliana slipped on the steps, all of a sudden Mr. Siliverio was there to catch her.“She’s so hot and ravishing, I wouldn’t mind a small price to pay for the night”, Sillverio said.“Stay away from my wife and stop flirting with her! He demanded, pushing Sillverio off his wife's body.Everyone’s attention was drawn to him. Seeing it as a good advantage, Silverio pulled a stunt against Brandon, tossing himself deliberately to the other side. That didn’t stop branding from throwing a punch aimed directly at Mr. Silverio’s face.“Stop that now, the both of you” Alianna cautioned as she stood up to separate them.“Let Silverio teach this arrogant fool a lesson!” Sir Alvares told her.“What kind of a man has to beg to make ends meet? Moreover, she has a good and stable family”, he added.Physically, there wasn’t much difference between Brandon and Mr. Sillverio.Mr. SIllverio was dressed up for the party, wearing a burgundy colored tuxedo with a matching Santoni Leather shoe. He had a baleful awkward smile on his face. His black hair was all perfectly swayed to the back with gel, and a sharp faded off. Making him look like a French man. He topped it all with a dashing accessory,Brandon, on the other hand, was in a simple shirt and long blue trousers, giving him the appearance of a loser as defined by Alianna’s father, Sir Alvarez.Brandon still had the best look any woman would go for. His muscular body and his height were an added advantage, but, The Alvarez’s were not, after all, those. They cared only about money.“The company needs help at this moment! In what way can you offer help to us?” Alianna’s brother taunted Brandon.He walked past him spilling drinks over Brandon’s body and acted sarcastically as if it was a mistake.Brandon ignored them all. “All I want is my FAMILY!” he retorted.“All I need is a little time so I can, make it up to you. If that’s what you want instead>” Brandon said to them.“We need a useful son-in-law, not a useless one! How hard is it for you to understand?”“We don’t need an old poor fool with no connection or power!” another slammed him. The mockery continued.Brandon had a flashback to his conversation with Alianna that same morning. Everything was fine and perfect. What went wrong?“I will work hard and get everything I have always wanted or dreamed of! “Brandon screamed at them.They all laughed again, making him an object of ridicule.“What else do you want me to go and steal?” he questioned Alianna.“Come with me” he said to her, “Let’s talk in private”, he added.“Let her be, this moment her mind is made up. you sore loser!” her brother said to Brandon.“I will fuck your wife and give her back to you!” Mr.SIlverio whispered into Brandon’s hearing.He was furious again. “Over my dead body will I let you do that!”They all laughed as he said so, even though they had no idea what warranted that loud reply from Brandon’s mouth.“You're dead, Brandon! Don’t you get it?” Mr. Silverio asked him.“There is no difference between a poor man and a dead man, they both can’t do what they want!” Mr.Sillverio said.“Look at your in-laws and your wife’s friend throwing insults at you and all you can do is sit and watch them”, Mr Silverio started, laughing.It annoyed Brandon. He picked up another fight with Mr.SIlverio. This time Alianna’s brother joined hands with Mr.SIlverio to beat him up.“That’s enough” Sir Alvarez cautioned.“What can you say you have? A job as a Manager?!” they burst into laughter as Mr. SIllverio licked the blood stain off his lips from the wound he sustained from fighting Brandon.“You can come for a vacancy at my place though, even my gateman earns far more than you do". "I don’t want to fight any of you!” Brandon threatened them.Brandon was stuck. He tried leaving their midst but they stopped him. ”Just step away from the road, I don’t want to fight with any of you. But don’t push me”. Brandon said to them.Alianna wouldn’t look at Brandon in the face. He went inside to take a leak. Staring at himself wide open in the mirror, Brandon smashed his hands on the mirror, letting the broken glasses crash to the floor like his ego that was trampled on by The sillverio’s and the Alvareze’s.“I won’t back down now! I'm not a coward. I can still win my family over” Brandon assured himself."Who will stop me!?"It was the world against Brandon wade. He was faced squarely by his In-Laws as they strongly supported Mr. SIllverio.“I’m sure you had to borrow to pay for that filthy thing you called a gift for my sister’s child” Aliana’s brother mocked Brandon. They all burst into sarcastic laughter. “I am trying my best, why don’t you just appreciate a thing I do?” Brandon asked.“It doesn’t matter if I borrowed it! All that mattered was that I got this done! I didn’t fail my son”, Brandon replied to them.“She’s with a better man now? What don’t you understand?” her father replied. “you have no right to barge into my house and do things the way you want! Let her speak for herself!” Brandon shouted.Alianna’s mind was made up. She was bent on leaving Brandon, “I’m going with a father!” she said to Brando, with no remorse or emotion.“Apologize to Mr. Sillverio this moment!” Sir Alvarez thundered.“Wait! Did I just hear you clearly? I should apologize to an intruder and a pervert?!” Brandon shou
What’s worse than a man who has lost everything? I have failed in life”, Brandon laments. “Without money no one would call you, No one would check up on you, NO one would support you, No one would love you”. Those were Brandon’s father’s last words to him before he left. “The call last night was from Arturo, my father’s right hand and most trusted man. I had no choice than to accept his offer, I would call my father!” Brandon said as he made up his mind.“Brandon wade Ramirez!” the voice said from the phone. It was Brandon's father. “Father!” Brandon managed to say after several minutes. “Yes young man, it's your father” the man replied. Tears rolled down Brandon’s cheeks. “You were right father, Everything you said was true!” Brandon said.“I regret going against your words, father”, Brandon added. “This is sudden and unexpected! When Arturo told me he found you I had doubts”, Brandon’s father said in a calm and cold voice. “I want to know what happened. Why did you decide to come
A convoy of exotic black Jeeps followed in a uniform order entered inside Brandon’s compound. Everyone in the street was out to see who they were coming for.“They stopped at that man’s compound. You think Brandon is his name”, a man said. Gossiping. “I guess that man is in trouble with some rich men” one of the neighbors said. “The man was an easy going person but I heard he’s a failure!” another said.Brandon heard all their gossip about him. He had gone out to get a few things from the grocery store. “Gossip all you want, it can’t hurt greater than the pain I felt”, Brandon said.He was wearing a big black hoodie with a face cap so no one could see him. “They’re here!” he said to himself walking as fast as his legs to carry him. “Arturo!” Brandon exclaimed, grinning as he saw his father’s right-hand man. Arturo smiled calmly. “Where is my father? It’s been a while” he asked him. His once depressed face was glowed up. “Will you take me to him?” Brandon asked in haste without giv
“Would you like to see your new appearance sir?” the woman asked Brandon. “Yes!” “Show me” he responded.They took him to the viewing room. It had large mirrors on both sides. “ Now I look Like a Real Man”, Brandon said smiling balefully with an evil smirk.Brandon’s life took a new turnaround within a day. Not only did he have a glowed up change, but he had a new mindset. “Thirsty for revenge!” he replied, smashing his hands together briskly.“We are leaving now! Young master” Arturo said to Brandon.“Welcome to The Golden Prime Inc. Your father’s first company here in Rivera”, Arturo said, as he led the way. “It’s all the same but a lot has changed. The colors, the buildings and the water fountain are no longer there? That was my Mother’s design”, Brandon said. No one cared to listen, they were all focused on entering the building. All the men came to a halt except Brandon, who walked side by side with his father.“Until you are installed and accepted as the new heir, you cannot w
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
“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. With no words she accepted his offer.Brandon told Natalie to dri
Brandon’s new couldn’t sleep. Fredrick’s words kept flashing back into his head. The harsh words from his father-in-law, Sir Alvarez, calling him a loser and a failure. How Fredrick and Alianna’s brother joined hands to beat him up, making him kneel and beg for his family. The humiliating sacrifices he made for Aliana when she got ill, begging Mr. Casanova for a raise even though it was meant rightfully for him.“I have money now. Why don’t I feel happy?” “I have bought the mall and the Sillverio’s.” ”Why do I still feel empty?”Brandon left his room and went to the winery at the sitting room. He was surprised to see Natalie and Madrigal there. “You guys can go home. I will be fine” “The house is so big and empty.” “No sir, we chose to stay!” Natalie responded. She was faster at words than Madrigal.“Your phone has been beeping Sir”, Madrigal called his attention. “ I don’t want to speak to anyone.”“It might be important, Sir”, Natalie added. “Fine, give it to me.” “Hey Brandon
Dawson Capentrano walked into the building briskly with high shoulders, stamping his toes on the rugged floor of the lighted room at the gallow’s last floor.He seemed to be conscious of his surroundings as he patiently observed his environment and, maintaining his bold composure, he reached the reception and himself comfortable on the sofa close to the door, watching the entrance.He beckoned to the receptionist and requested a cocktail drink. The receptionist went ahead to get a waiter to attend to his needs, but felt bothered... she went ahead to ask him if he was waiting for some;“Sir, are you waiting to see someone?Not really! He retorted! Just get me my drink. He said firmly, without gazing at her.The waitress returned to her post but murmured some words to her colleague, who left the post counter, and went inside the third wing door.Shortly, a smart young short man came out….Who are you sir and how can I be of help, the young short man that seemed to be the manager asked.
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. Dragging out a black power bike parked at the edge of the wall, he covered the helmet and start
BRANDON. "When we get to the glass house, go back to Manila and make sure none of our men are left behind; this is my home; I’ll be fine," Brandon said to the pilot. "No, boss, I’ll protect you with my life; Estrellia, Madrigal, and Nathalie are there; I can vouch they’ll protect Vanessa and our men," he responded baravely. "Then stop here; I want to go in unnoticed," Brandon commanded. He told the pilot the signal to give if he needed him to return for him. I discovered something strange and haven’t confirmed it, but right now you’re the only one I can trust. I am on my way from death to life, whatever comes up. At least one of us deserves to know the truth. Meet me at the glass house. The truth lies there. Brandon read the text. Olvido sent him the second time. He tried opening the gates, but no one was there, and he got in by himself, which was strange. The lounge room was also opened. He got in quietly when he noticed some movements. "Where are you, Olvido?" He
MADRIGAL. "How do I find her easily without getting spotted? Madrigal brooded, sreching, with his eyes all over the place as he hid behind a door. Leaving the room where Brandon was fighting with Frederick and Torillio was hard, but he knew he would be fine without him.A masked man snooping around for any intruder stepped into Madrigal’s trap. He zapped his neck from behind and slid him behind the door with him. "Sorry man—I need your uniform and this shady mask.""Vanessa!" "Vanessa!! Vaa—" "What are you doing here?" He alarmed, running to meet injured Brandon, forcefully dragging himself as he continued fending off RAD and Torillio’s men. "We walked into a trap; Fredrick is not RAD; Torillio was also fooled, and he’s fighting. I called our men; they’ll be arriving a bit late; they blew up my airline." Brandon’s breathing was over his chest. His leg was bleeding, and he tied it with a piece of cloth.Madrigal felt so much pity for him. He had gone through hell, and now w
ANDALLIO. “You’re uselss, you’re fat and dumb”“You can’t even lift yourself and you think I need your help?” “You’re a failure! You failed at everything,” “Get out of my head!” Andallio wailed smashing the glass of liquor in his hand against the telivison screen in his room. He walked down to the swimming pool at the lass house. “It is over, I won, they’ll kill theirseleevs and destroy it all—and me Andallio Ramirez will become the owner of it all,” He mused with a smile and leaped inside the pool. The perfecet plan crossed his mind after his call to Brandon. Torillio and Arturo would become a menace to him in the future if he helped them get what they wanted form Brandon. Fredrick was also he sore he was planning to remove at all cost. When he was calm form the drugs he gave him, Andallio made him an irresistible offer. The revenge he has always wanted to have on Brandon for dragging the face of the Silverrio’s in the mud and running his family. Fredrick’s ego
BRANDONThe call with RAD seemed so unreal and strange. Brandon needed more answers. "How did she end up with him?" He asked his team to work hard to track down the number. They were back at the mansion, but he didn't stay."Where is Esmeralda?" Is she in the mansion?" he asked Natahlie. "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. "Esmeralda, come; we should have a word before you leave; your mother can leave," Brandon roared. Esmerald didn’t respond; she kept rolling her travel bag behind Hailey. "Look at this—you want it right?" Brandon wiggled the
BRANDON. "Did you meet him?" Brandon rused out ot meet Brandon who was dresched and walking slowly in the rain. "Yeah, and I told him to watch out for me. I'll hit him with every inch of my strength," he holererd lifitntg his heart in his voice. "I won’t let Lamar’s death slide, they knew he was coming for me, they killed him right before me and I couldn’t do a thing," Brandon packed his hair with his hands and faced up to the rain. "Your days are numbered, he viled, taking the lead inside the PROVOCATOR;s night club. He returned ot the VVIP spot with Madrigal. " Zino—call him up, to meet me here, I’ll pay whatever ti cost to bring him out of whatever hole he’s stuck in," Brandon graved his voice sild with anger and an itch for revenege. "I have given the orders boss, you should change your dress and take a rest," Madrigal uttered inconveneitnly. Brandon’s rage has never been this great. He went out of hi reach to forcefully meet with RAD even though they stope
ANDALLIO. "Ouch—" Andallio exclaimed, playfully squezzing his face in mess. He rewatched Lamar’s death clip again and again with no remose but a broad, domineering smile on his face. " This is what will happen to anyone who goes against me, I can’t wait to see Fredricks’ reaction when he watches this—" he chocked, laughing. Where's the tape?" he asked worriedly and the gave it to him. Lamar was so close to handling it over o him and he ad ot take aderastic step to get him out. " Pople will do anything for money, do you believe that my last minute genius plan wanst a oart of my plan?" he asked his men beaming with pride. " You’re an ultra genius boss; Lamar outsmarted us, he didn’t had over the evidence o Bardon at his house but insisted on a meet, if Brandon had come ealier we would have sabotaged all your plans," one of his men responded telling him the truth he loved to hear. "Yes, I save you all again; your head would have been off your body if it went bad,"
TORILLIO. The thunder struck strongly; the cloud was darkened, and it rained heavily. 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. Do I have to do everything for you?" he asked him insignificantly. Arturo was drenched, sitting in the rain. "Sorry about that. It's all gone now. Whatever happened with RAD and Anton, I think you should let it go; The girl is safe, and with me, did you take care of Olvido?" he asked him, rolling up another stunk of weed. He looked up to see Arturo, as he didn’t give a response to the question he asked him. "Cat caught your tongues, old friend? Do you rem
BRANDON.Brandon stuck his hand out in traffic. It was raining under the cloudless, serene sky. " 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
