2024-04-29 01:32:51“Who the hell are you to counter my orders? I am the manager of Prime Enterprise. Who are you?!”
Brian was raging already, he couldn't see who it was that countered his order because the person was seated in front of the big hall.A man was walking towards the direction of where Brian was. Vivian quickly recognized the man and tried to warn Brian, but when she saw how Brian was so annoyed, she said nothing.When the man got closer to Brian, he removed the black shade he wore and Brian was able to truly recognize him.Brian was shivering as he broke out in a cold sweat, his sweat dripping, he said, “Chief.. Chief Prime, were you the one? I'm so sorry, Chief Prime, I honestly did not know.”It was Williams Prime. Brian did not come that early to the venue to realize that Williams Prime was already in the hall before him, seated in front.“Brian, were you actually questioning me?” Williams asked for clarity, even when he knew Brian wouldn't dare to.“No sir, I wouldn't dare to do that.” Brian said quickly. “I'm so sorry sir.”He looked at Vivian and Charles with a face of help while talking, but they looked in different directions, acting like they didn't know him or what was going on.“How could three of you dare humiliate this man in this event?” Williams said while pointing at Sebastian. “Don't you know he is….”Williams Prime was about telling them who Sebastian was, until he looked at Sebatian, and he gave him a facial signal not to reveal his identity yet.“Never mind. Now, you guys will apologize immediately to him at this very moment!”Just as Williams Prime made the order, every guest in the hall was stunned, including the Nike family. Brian, Vivian, and Charles' faces were looking shocked, as they were in great disbelief that they would apologize to Sebatian.“Excuse me sir, but…” Brian hesitated a bit.“If you don't do what I ordered, then I'll take it as an insult to my personality.” Williams Prime was quite firm as he did not want any explanation.“Who is this Sebatian to deserve such respect?”“I'd rather get swallowed by the ground than apologize to that beggar.”The drama at first was eye-catching, but this very one was more eye-catching as the guests were in awe, and murmured still. Their attention was totally focused on what Brian, Vivian and Charles were going to do.After a little while, just as every guest in the hall was still anxiously waiting to see their next step, Brian cleared his throat, and said humbly.“Please, please Sebastian, forgive me…” He said with a pleading impression, as well as Vivian and Charles.All the guests gazed wondrously, as Sebastian who was supposed to suffer absolute humiliation in the wedding event, was suddenly lifted high.On the other hand, when Cindy saw that a mere Sebastian was given so much respect, her face darkened. She stared at him, and said to herself, ‘You surely will pay for this Sebatian, for humiliating Brian himself!’Sebatian remained calm after the apologies, and showed no expression.“Thank you so much sir.” Sebatian sighed. He then shook hands with Williams Prime. “I’m fine now.”Soon, the wedding ceremony that was interrupted due to that moment of chaos, continued.***The clock was forward, and the wedding ceremony which produced so many actions and reactions was over. The invited guests who honored the occasion were filing out of the venue accordingly, as they sauntered to their respective cars.There was only Brian, Vivian and Charles in the hall right now.Every expression Brian made showed how frustrated and angry he was. He looked outside the window and said, “I don't know why Chief Prime will stand up for someone like Sebastian. That guy is nothing, absolutely nothing!”“He was just fortunate Chief Prime came to his rescue, that tartard thing.” Vivian was ranting as she also could not forgo the embarrassment she went through.“I hope I make him pay for this!”What happened during the wedding ceremony was not only discussed inside.Outside the Shaffon Hotel, all guests were also talking more about what transpired between Brian, Vivian, Charles and Sebastian during the ceremony.Romy even murmured, “I never expected Williams Prime to stand up for Sebastian in that manner, like he knows Sebastian.“How will he know a common Sebatian? I'm sure he just felt pity for him. Looking like a beggar.” Cindy snorted.“That useless thing must be a very good actor. He made Williams Prime feel pity for him which saved him from the humiliation he deserved today…” Luis said bitterly.The luxury cars that were parked inside the hotel were driven out by their respective owners, including the ones outside the venue too.The members of the Nike family walked majestically towards the family car, only for them to see Sebastian standing by the car, waiting for them to come outside.Luis was fuming immediately she saw Sebastian standing by the family car.“You stupid pretender! You made Brian a laughingstock today because of your foolishness. Get away from that car at this moment!”“You had better hope Brian is still willing to help our company out of the crisis, because if he is not anymore, I'll kill you myself!” Senior Nike said coldly as he pushed Sebastian away and entered the car.“You're going to walk home today, because you won't join up in this car, not after what you did to Brian.”Cindy, Juliana, Jade and Romy, entered the car as they all ignored Sebastian. Even when Juliana wasn't feeling okay with it, she had no other choice than to just act like she doesn't care.Sebatian was left alone stranded as the Nike family drove off without him. He waited to find a taxi.Just as he was waiting, suddenly, a loud car horn was heard. One of the costliest cars in the city, a Bugatti Centodieci came along and stopped beside him.“Hey nephew, are you stranded? Come on hop in, let me give you a ride home.” Williams Prime rolled down the car window slowly, requesting for Sebatian to join him.Without hesitation, Sebatian went in. He was fortunate to meet his Uncle on the way because he was already tired.Even when he could get himself as many cars as he wanted, he still preferred not to.“So nephew, what do you say you come to the company tomorrow? I mean, you assume your new office as the President of the company, and also check the investment plans we've compiled for the year.”“Okay Uncle, that won't be a problem. First thing tomorrow morning, I'll be at the Company.”The Prime Enterprise was gradually going out of the crisis they faced, so Williams Prime thought it'll be the right time his nephew assumed his new office.“I'll send my driver to pick you up, right…?”“No Uncle, don't bother, I think I'll be fine coming on my own.”

He said coldly, “What are you trying to do? The earlier you accept Brian, the better for you! The useless husband you have now has nothing to offer you.”Grandpa Nike was not having it, he was determined to persuade his granddaughter to marry Brian, just for the good of the company and the family.“Look here my daughter, I'm your mother and I know what is best for you. Don't toss aside a bright future all because of indecision.”“Cousin, this kind of love Brian is willing to give to you is so enviable.

“You?” Brian was dumbfounded at first. He then placed his hands on his head in amusement.It was another reason for everyone present to be in silence at that very moment. They all stared at Sebastian with amazement.This live-in son-in-law just spoke with absolute certainty. Could it be that he's indeed the President of Prime Enterprise?Grandpa Nike wasn't ready to even think about the pronouncement Sebatian just made. He didn't believe him. He smiled and said disenchantedly, “The so-called husband to my granddaughter, has gone totally insane.”The moment Grandpa Nike said that, Romy, Jade and Cindy broke into laughter. They gave Sebatian a look of them being highly flabbergasted by what he just said.“You're nothing but a poor thing who is a live-in son-in-law. How dare you use Prime Enterprise to elevate your status?”“What in the world did my sister marry? I mean, this guy is a clown.” “Do you really think the Nike family are joking here, or do we look like a joke to you?”“Sebas

It was the twenty first hour, and the mood in the Nike family house was darker than the night.Brian seeing how the guards he called to throw Sebatian out of the house were finding it hard to carry out his order, made him furious.He was already looking humiliated in front of the entire family of Nike. 'Why can't these useless guards take this thing out, do they want to humiliate me?’ One of the guards was the security guard who tried to stop Sebatian at the Prime Enterprise gate from entering. The second one was a friend to Sebastian back then when they were on the street together.“Since you two can't carry out my orders given to you, then you are both fired!” Brian was raging.Then out of frustration, Brian went close to Sebastian, and held the top of his shirt. “You loser, I'll make sure I make you pay for this!”He wasn't ready to make Sebatian go free after the humiliation he had just faced from his two personal guards. That moment Brian was sure to make Sebastian pay.“Come on

“Nonsense! What are you sitting here saying?”Grandpa Nike was enraged. How could Sebastian be the President of Prime Enterprise?“That's who I saw seated on the President's seat during the meeting today. You can call Brian to confirm what I've just said.” Charles said with assurance.“Yes Grandpa, let's call Brian. Let's ask him if what he's just told us is true.”Grandpa Nike picked up his Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 on the table, and searched for the number of Brian. He called and Brian picked up. On the phone, he said, “Hello Brian, how was the meeting today?” “Oh, the meeting was alright. It's just that I will have to discuss with the President again tomorrow.” Brian lied.Grandpa Nike was already feeling that Charles had given them a false report, but still went further to ask, “That's good you know. And again, I know it's false, but was Sebastian in the meeting?”“Sebastian? I don't understand…”The response Brian gave was what everyone was waiting for, especially Grandpa Nike. He

Could it be that he indeed can help the Nike company from crisis?Brian did not believe the promise Sebatian just made. He smiled coldly, and said, “How can you do that? You can't even help yourself, and you want to help others.”Sebastian stretched his hand and pointed to himself. He then said, “I have enough money in my possession that can take the company out of crisis.”At the moment, it was so shocking to everyone that they kept silent, and said nothing.But after some time…“You?” Cindy was surprised at first.

The imposing tower served as a stark reminder of the power housed within. But they were all unwavering in their determination. There was nothing that would stop them from seeking answers.Clearly taken aback by their unexpected arrival, the front desk receptionist asked them to wait while she verified their meeting. They spoke briefly over the intercom, and then she pointed to two guards standing at a door further inside the structure."The Director General is expecting you," she announced nervously.The guards unlocked the doors and ushered them down a long corridor lined with pictures of former officials. Their resolve to face the man behind the questionable order echoed in every step of the seemingly endless walk. They finally came to a big oak door.

After hanging up the phone with Anthony, Sebastian sat still in his chair for a while, his thoughts racing with incredulity and frustration. Although there was a lot of tension in his office, he did not waste any time moping. He got up from his chair, grabbed his office phone, and called William Prime's extension. "Uncle William, please come to my office right away," Sebastian said in a stern and demanding tone. He hung up without waiting for a response, then dialed Abigail. "Abigail, please meet me in my office now. It is about the Nike lawsuit and the commissioner." --- In a matter of minutes, William Prime infiltrated Sebastian's office with a worried expression in place of his customary composure.

As he tapped on the holding cell's metal bars, the officer stared at Cindy, Romy, and Senior Nike. "You might want to hear this," he said in a casual yet excited tone. Senior Nike looked up from his seat, his face tired but intrigued. Cindy and Romy looked at each other, their faces hopeful but tense."So, what is it?" Senior Nike inquired, his voice steady despite the weight of their recent ordeal.The officer was holding up a phone. “Miss Angelina's work has been going above and beyond. The application for bail has been filed. Although it is not yet complete, it is a positive step.”As the words took hold, there was a brief pause in conversation. After that, the three felt a wave of relief as though a switch had been flipped. For the first time since their arrest, Senior Nike's stern manner softened as he exhaled deeply.

Greene unhappiness was unhidden, as an overwhelming sense of failure pervaded the air as Greene and his group filed out of Gray's deserted hideout. As the group left the ramshackle building, the sun was sinking, illuminating the streets with a grim orange tint. As they returned to the black SUVs parked a few meters away, the only sound they heard was the crunch of their boots on gravel. Greene continued walking forward, his thoughts racing with frustration and unresolved issues. Once more, Gray had escaped their grasp, and this time it felt intimate. He believed that the timing was ideal and the mission was flawless. Someone had told him, and Greene could not get rid of the suspicion that the system itself was the source of the betrayal. "Back to the station," Greene said curtly as he climbed into the front passenger seat of the leading vehicle. Parker cautiously glanced at him as he slid into the driver's seat, but remained silent.

In her office, Angelina’s phone rang. She picked it up immediately, recognizing her cousin’s number.“It’s done,” the Director General said in a low voice. “The commissioner has agreed to submit a request for bail, though it’s far from certain that the court will approve it.”A wave of relief washed over Angelina, but she knew better than to celebrate prematurely. “Thank you, cousin. I know this wasn’t easy.”“Just remember, Angelina,” he warned, “this could backfire on both of us. If the Nikes don’t show up for even a single hearing, we’ll be implicated in their escape, and the fallout will be devastating.”She nodded, though he couldn’t see her. “I understand. I’ll make sure they know the gravity of the situation. They won’t risk it.”As she hung up, Angelina sat back, her mind racing with the next steps. She was painfully aware of how high the stakes had risen, but she was determined to see this through. She dialed the Nikes, instructing them to be prepared for the bail hearing and

Angelina paced in her office, her mind spinning with possibilities. She knew the stakes were sky-high, and any chance she had to protect the Nikes was slipping away. Her only option now was to secure a bail for them, if only to keep their case out of the public eye for a little longer. Taking a deep breath, she dialed her cousin, the Director General, her fingers tightening around the phone as it rang.He answered after a few rings, his voice as calm and steady as ever. “Angelina, what is it now?”“Cousin,” she began, her voice steady but with an underlying urgency, “I need you to do something else for me. I know it’s a lot to ask, but please consider it.”He paused, as if bracing himself. “Go on.”“I need you to arrange bail for the Nike family,” she said, every word carefully measured. “If they’re kept in custody, their reputation will be tarnished beyond repair. Their businesses, their livelihoods, will crumble before they’ve even had a chance to defend themselves.”The Director Ge

Greene and his group charged into Gray's hiding place, braced for battle, their movements coordinated and soundless as they broke through the door and spread out. There was a strange stillness in the air, like the calm after a storm, and the room was oppressively dimly lit. They moved quickly, checking corners, staying vigilant, and keeping their weapons at the ready, but with every second that went by, the team felt more and more uneasy. Greene quickly realized that Gray was not present.Greene straightened, his jaw clenched in frustration as he looked around. He had thought Gray would be in the shadows, huddled in a corner, about to run. Rather, the space was lifeless, frigid, and empty, as though Gray had departed long before they did. Some papers were strewn about, a chair was overturned, and there was a slight smell of cigarette smoke, all evidence of hurried packing. He had definitely been here recently, but he had left before they could apprehend him.Greene took out his phon

Gray's pulse accelerated as he gazed at his phone, his fingers clenched so tightly that his knuckles went white. He was taken aback by his private investigator's news, and a cold shiver went down his spine. He had been hoping for positive news, perhaps even proof that his adversaries were losing sight of him. Rather, it was a shock to learn that Elliot had given the special unit team a lead."Are you sure about this?" Gray demanded, attempting to maintain composure in spite of his growing panic. "To what extent do they know?"In order to emphasize the gravity of the situation, the investigator's voice was tense. "From what we can tell, sir, they are getting closer to where you are. Elliot's tip appears to be specific enough to give them a ballpark estimate of your location. The team has already mobilized and is probably currently on their way. There is not much time for you."Gray's thoughts were racing as he weighed his options, and his eyes were darting around the room. His hiding

As the day went on, Greene walked around the dark precinct office, reviewing all of the things he had said to Eliot. Despite his natural tendency to exercise caution, Greene was aware that Eliot's assistance might be crucial to destroying Gray ShelfHe looked down at the screen as the phone in his hand suddenly vibrated. An unknown number. Greene answered, bracing himself as his heart began to race a bit."This is Detective Greene," he stated firmly."Detective," Eliot replied, maintaining the same guarded tone as before. "I have given it some thought. If you want my assistance with Gray, I have some conditions."Greene gripped the phone with clenched fingers. "Go ahead."After a brief silence, Eliot spoke again in a composed yet firm tone. "First and foremost, I do not want my name on any arrest lists. When this is finished, I will walk away clean. No trials or handcuffs. Second, I need to be compensated. A million dollars should be enough to cover the costs of risking my life. Fina
