"How was your meeting with him?" Lewis asked the moment he walked into the house without an invitation. Turner stared at him in confusion. He had not ushered him into his house. So, what guts? He thought. It wasn't up to a few minutes ago when he got back from where he had gone to. And just as he was about to lock up his gate, he saw Lewis drive in immediately. Now, he was already inside his house. He began to wonder if Lewis had began to keep tabs on him. "How did you know I was back home? You could have called. Or, have you suddenly started keeping tabs on me?" Turner asked as he walked towards him. Lewis had already gotten himself a perfect spot to sit in the living room, not minding the questions. "Are you really going to ask that?" He scoffed. "Come on man. I possibly can't keep tabs on you. I just happen to know your movements." Turner moved to sit across from him. His eyes held suspicion. He didn't like the idea that Lewis had visited him alone in his house. And that was
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 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
