Ryan was seated on his bed as he reminsced over his meeting with Rebecca. As he thought about their meeting, the only thing that could replay in his head was her smile which he deemed beautiful and captivating. He could still remember how happy and grateful she had been when he was able to save her mother, despite the bad news they got after the first operation. Fear had literally gripped him when he heard she was no longer stable. "Rise and shine Man - R." Draco's loud voice boomed in his head. "Ahh." He shook and sat up immediately. "Woah. What is it? Why are you so jumpy?" Draco asked amidst his laughter. "Didn't you realize that you were so loud? Why did you have to be so loud by the way? Remember you're in my head most times, so you don't get to give me a heart attack." Ryan said and got down from his bed. Draco let out a loud laughter after he heard what Ryan had said. "Yeah, laugh all you want." Ryan said and made his way to the window. He quickly opened his curtains, an

"I really don't want to ask what has gotten you so lost in your thoughts. But then, I'll be forced to since your mum is better now." Laura said, thinking her friend had heard her. She had just walked into their living room only to see Rebecca, her friend and visitor, so lost in thoughts. However, when no response came from Rebecca, she sighed and moved closer to drop the tray of drinks she had in her hands, and also tap her shoulders. Immediately, Rebecca shook. Just what she had been avoiding had happened. She didn't want to get lost thinking of the same thing over and over again."Uhm… what were you saying? I'm sorry, something just flashed into my head." Rebecca said as she adjusted herself on the couch. "What was it? Tell me. I would like to know." Laura leaned forward the moment she sat closer to her. Rebecca let out a light chuckle at Laura's attitude. She began to scold herself inwardly for saying it out loud to her hearing. Laura was one of the new friends she just recent
The Hidden Heir Chapter One Hundred And Thirty Seven
The cool breeze of the night kissed his skin as he stood still, waiting. He should have just stayed put in his car and waited. But, he chose not to.The night was cool and unexpectedly quiet especially at such a late hour which was usually the time for bustling activities. On the other hand, he thought it was so because of the fact that the lake side was not close to the road. It was a bit far from the main street leading to other buildings. The lake side consisted of a small river around it and a warehouse that was too small to contain an extended family. "What's keeping them?" He thought, as he kept checking what the time said on his wristwatch. He had been standing there for almost half an hour, yet there was no sight of anyone coming. Truth be told, dear Turner was beginning to get frustrated. "Were they not coming anymore?" He thought to himself. Or, probably he had been played. Turner knew that his decision to quit was something he should have done a long time ago. But,

"Yeah, I'll do just that." Evans said as he walked into his living room. "Oh no, that is no trouble. I'll check up on it and get back to you. All you have to do is make sure the word doesn't get to them. Since you want it to be a surprise for her, then it's better not to spill, even to anyone close to the both of you." He said. He bent his neck leftward, using it to hold down the phone to his ears so he could pull off his wristwatch. Asides that, he was tired, looking so exhausted that he also began to unbutton his shirt. Soon, the person over the phone, ended the call, and he immediately put his phone down."Ahh," he let out a sigh in relief. "What a night." He commented. Evans had just returned from Ryan's home, together with Turner and Monroe. Ryan who had been burning with rage, asked that they keep Monroe in his home. He had a warehouse where he could keep him hidden until he could think of the perfect punishment. Now that he was home, he had the time and chance to think of e

Ryan walked into his charity home, with his face beaming with contentment and pride. He still couldn't believe what he had been able to achieve so much in a short while. Despite the storms and challenges he went through, he was still able to pull through. That was something one should be proud of. Even if he knew he still had other important things to do before be would quit searching for more, he still felt the need to be proud of himself. Whenever he flashed back through the times he was a poor man, and the torment he received, he kept repeating his vow - the vow he made to deal immensely with anyone who tormented and tortured the poor as long as he was still alive, and could also get wind of the news.He had come to realize that people, especially the rich, saw the poor masses as beggars with an incurable disease, one that could get them infected if they mingled. However, he was glad to have become a proof that nothing lasts for long. "Good morning sir." His staff greeted as the

Smith walked into his office with annoyance. The moment he got in, he banged the door so hard that the hinges would have gotten off and the door would have fallen off too."Who do they think they are to put an invisible man on top list? Do they even know who he is? Have they met him? Do they know how he amassed such a great wealth?" He barked in anger and at the same time tried loosening his tie. He was ultimately frustrated at the turn out of the day's event.If anyone walked into the office at that moment, it was possible that they would literally feel his fury throughout the office. "I worked hard for years! I have done incredulous, and even the terrible ones just so I could maintain my position. But now, it is all about to go down the drain all because of one stupid son of a bitch from the pit of hell. Never! I won't ever allow it." He fumed in anger. After his first meeting with his business partners about Man-R which they seemingly didn't take too serious like he did, Smith de

"Do you really have to dress so whack?" Draco's voice boomed in his head. "Can't you see how you look so ordinary in the mirror?" He questioned again. And Ryan could guess the irritation in his voice. "Oh, I am nothing but an ordinary man just like every other man." Ryan answered as he went on brushing his hair. He wasn't ready to back down on what he had already put on."No, you're not." Draco rejected immediately. "Don't you know who you are? You've now become the first and only billionaire topping the charts. You even beat down your enemies. So, why do you have to portray yourself before them as a commoner?" Ryan, who had moved from his mirror to sit on his bed, began to put on his shoe. He burst into laughter at what Draco had said. "I haven't beat them yet. We still have a few steps to take." Ryan said. "That doesn't matter. You're still at the top." Draco argued. "Oh, Draco please." He said amidst laughter. "I am not going to meet anyone of them for a business meeting. And

She walked into the house, her house help hot on her heels as she brought in the bags of groceries.“You have to marinate the chicken with the new sauce we got today because I want to know whether it’s worth all the hype and the money spent." She told her from the sitting room as she slumped heavily into one of the cushion chairs and discarded her purse beside her. For someone who had only walked up and down different aisles pointing out what she wanted, she was bone tired.“Do not use the cloves in the chicken soup. Let’s try cinnamon instead this time around” She told her, remembering that she wanted to try it out since the chef on the food channel swore that cinnamon was amazing in chicken soup. She didn’t see how, but she was going to try it before discarding it. Even though she was on her way to the kitchen and her voice was lowered, she knew that she could hear her. That was confirmed by her answer.“Okay, Madam Jennifer”She slung her arms over her eyes, hoping to rest them for

“Why are you so nervous?” Turner asked Ryan who was pacing the floors of his home, sweat running down his back and his breathing a bit chopped.“This is huge, Turner. This is huge!”“But you both are on the same page, right? There’s nothing to be nervous about”“No, the streamers shouldn’t go down that way. And why are they yellow? I don’t want anything yellow.” Ryan said to one of his staff who was hanging up the streamers, not answering Turner.“Okay, you’re one step away from scaring them and making them run for the hills. Come have a drink.” Turner smiled as he stood up and guided Ryan out of the living room and into the dining room.“Why is the cake still out? Shouldn’t it be cooling off in the freezer? It’s not yet time for it to be out.” Ryan commented as he spied the cake with lettering on the counter.“Apparently, this place is off limits too.” Turner added before he dragged him up the stairs. When Ryan protested, Turner stopped at the landing and spoke to him.“Listen, Ryan

“Greetings.” One of the students who passed by the school greeted me with a bow. Ryan who had been staring at the completed and now functional school building tore his eyes away from it and responded to the student who was already several steps ahead. He looked around to realize that sometime during his gazing, the students had let out for their lunch break. From where he was standing, he could see that some were milling around in the garden and having lunch while some preferred to make use of the outdoor café. He knew and was quite aware that others would be scattered around the indoor cafeteria and different lounges at the different corners of the school. He had decided it was best the students had a wide variety of places to choose from to have lunch. Experience they say is the best teacher, from experience he knew quite well how it felt to suffer through humiliation in the cafeteria and even worse not to have anywhere else to go. This even sponsored his reasons and gladness to

“Roberts, you never told us how it went on your end.” Lewis said as he popped open another bottle of red wine, poured into his glass and brought it to his lips.“What are you talking about?”“How did the project with Jessica pan out? Was it completed successfully?” Smith asked, irritated at how slow Roberts was being.“Oh, that?” He said flippantly as he swirled the wine in his glass.“The assassin carried out the job without a hitch. He told me that he stabbed her more than 5 times and left her to bleed out in a dark alley. She was taking her last breaths when he left and there was no one in sight to help her so now, we have nothing to worry about because our tracks are clear.”Smith smiled and raised his glass, inviting the other men seated around him to a toast. They celebrated Jessica’s death. Her death meant that there was no one who could point fingers at them especially with Turner one step away from the grave.“Soon, there will be no more obstacles in my way and I will have my

“Remember that we have to remain calm no matter what he says or does.” Evans said to Ryan as they walked towards the place where they had kept Monroe all the while because he knew Ryan had the propensity to be erratic sometimes.“I know that.” Ryan nodded“Okay, good.”They got to the room and without any hesitation or stopping to think about the decision they had arrived at concerning their hostage, Ryan turned the doorknob to reveal the inside of the room. There, Monroe was, strapped to a bed; his mouth duct taped so he didn’t make a sound and alert anyone. Not like there was a single living soul that could be found for miles but still, it was better to be safe than sorry.“Hello, Monroe. It’s been a while, hasn’t it?” Evans asked, as he strolled into the room behind Ryan, a smile on his face.Monroe saw them and began to wrestle with his bindings eager to be out of them. He thrashed and thrashed on the bed while screaming at them or rather attempting to scream at them seeing as th

She ran like her life depended on it, weaving between parked cars and alleys because it did.She was being chased by someone she didn’t know. She had on Nike shorts and a plain black tank top with her hair in rollers looking like she was about to go to bed because that was what she had been trying to do when she heard a crash from outside her bedroom door, down the hall from the toilet.When she crept out, she saw a shadow from under the door because the light was still on and she hightailed it out of there, hoping to get a bat or something to defend herself. However, when she saw a big, burly guy coming to her with a knife, she took off outside the house, to save herself.She was still running, looking back at intervals to see where he was. Previously, she was several steps ahead with a large gap between them but the last time she looked back, she saw that he was way closer. She cursed her luck at not keeping in shape with her body when she finally had enough money to afford a gym

Ryan walked into the hotel where he was meeting Smith and went straight to the receptionist who was all smiles.“Good morning.” He greeted her before letting her know that he was supposed to be meeting with Mr. Smith and wanted directions to the private meeting room Smith had asked to be met at. It was a new upscale hotel that was the rave of town. It was no surprise that Smith had chosen the hotel for them to meet because it was a neutral ground as neither of them had shares in the hotel though there were rumors that Smith planned to acquire it. After all, he liked the way it was growing rapidly. “The maître d’hôtel will be here to escort you shortly. I will just place a call to him now.” The receptionist said after confirming his identity and checking that indeed Smith had reserved the private meeting room.Ryan nodded and took a seat in the lounge as she asked. He was not seated for long before the maitre d’hôtel appeared to take him to the meeting room. He stood up and after adj

“What I need is a hot shower, a hot meal and sleep. Exactly in that order.” Ryan muttered as he dragged his tired body into his house. He plowed straight into the shower in his room and proceeded to have his bath.He had just finished the first task he was given, which was to give out 100 million dollars to a hundred beggars in 3 hours and he was extremely tired, who wouldn’t? It had been a hell of a day and he wanted his bed badly.He quickly sent a text to the chef to send his dinner up because he didn’t have the strength to trudge downstairs. He laid on his bed covers, still tying his towel. He knew that if he got under the covers, he would be asleep faster than a light went out.Suddenly, his phone rang. He stretched his hand out on the bed and picked it up, his eyes squinting to see who it was and he was excited to see that it was Rebecca calling. He sat up in his bed and leaned on the headboard, his finger about to slide up to answer it when he stopped. He remembered the mann

“What exactly are you saying to me? I don’t understand all the medical terms you just mentioned.” Jessica said as she looked at the doctor from her seat at her mother’s side. The doctor blinked at her slowly.“Let’s have this conversation outside, please.” His voice was almost a whisper as he directed her outside the room her mother was lying in and then began to explain what he had said earlier in clearer terms.“What I am telling you is that your mother has no chance of living anymore. From her prognosis, she has at best, a few days to live. I’m sorry!”Jessica was shocked and she gaped at him for a while before she got her words back.“No, no, no!”“I’m sorry.” The doctor apologized as he shook his head.“No, doctor, there has to be something that you can do. My mother can’t just die like that. You can’t just abandon my mother like that.”“I’m sorry but there’s absolutely nothing more we can do for you. Her cancer has spread and eaten into so many of her organs. It is a miracle tha
