I can't wait to indulge in all of this," Andrew remarked with a smile as he strolled along the desolate pavement.He was on his way home, which was nearby, when a group of individuals encircled him. Adjusting his glasses, Andrew peered up and down to ensure his vision wasn't failing him, only to realize that indeed, it was a band of men dressed in black who had surrounded him. They were not just any men; they were imposing figures, their faces bearing the marks of rigorous training."What do you want from me?" Andrew took a step back, already formulating his next move. Though the streetlights illuminated the scene, their faces remained obscured by shadows.Their collective gaze fixated on his finger, and as Andrew followed their line of sight, he immediately grasped the situation."Hand over the ring, or you'll regret what happens next," one of the men in black demanded, closing in on Andrew."You must be mistaken... I have no idea what you're talking about," Andrew feigned ignorance."You think you can defy us?" The man advanced menacingly, preparing to seize Andrew by the neck. However, to his astonishment, Andrew swiftly intercepted, seizing the man's hand and twisting his finger backward.Despite the vast discrepancy in size, Andrew held firm, even adjusting his glasses with a casual demeanor. "Do you honestly believe you can intimidate me?" Andrew's smile never wavered as he continued to exert pressure on the man's finger."What are you all waiting for? Take action!" The man, feeling intense pressure from Andrew, commanded the others to act.They all shifted into different positions, moving in a coordinated manner as they prepared to strike. There were a total of four men, in addition to the man Andrew had immobilized.Using his rubber bag containing all his precious food as both a shield and a weapon, Andrew strategically baited the first assailant. As the second attacker lunged forward with a punch aimed at the first man's stomach, Andrew deftly maneuvered, utilizing the bag to deflect the blow.With a swift twist of his body, Andrew redirected the force of the punch, causing it to land squarely on the first assailant instead. The impact sent the man reeling backward, crashing into a nearby trash can, while Andrew's bag of food remained securely in his grasp, untouched by the chaos unfolding around him."Who would have thought that you guys would end up fighting amongst yourselves?" Andrew remarked casually, his confidence unwavering as he dusted off his hands, the contents of his bag still intact."Now, all of you come at once!"

One of them somersaulted through the air, aiming to deliver a precise strike to Andrew's head. However, Andrew, amidst countering the other opponents, skillfully rotated backward, deftly evading their blows. In a remarkable display of agility, he used one hand to catch the airborne attacker's legs.The next move Andrew executed left everyone astounded.

They were at a loss for what to do

Andrew walked into the mall, greeted by an open space with stores lined up opposite each other. There was an excavator positioned in the right-hand corner of the entrance, leading to the upper floor.This was Andrew's first visit to the mall. Previously, all he could do was admire it from a distance, knowing that he couldn't afford anything sold there.But today was different. He moved with a sense of pride, as if he were the owner of the entire mall.Andrew headed towards the excavator, which would take him directly to the second floor since it seemed like the ground floor was mainly for groceries.As he held onto the moving stairs, Andrew was initially taken aback by the pressure from the excavator's motion. However, he quickly regained his balance, determined not to become the laughing stock of everyone present.Finally, Andrew reached the second floor. He scanned the area, looking left and right until he spotted a store selling men's clothes in the distance.He moved closer to the

Andrew had finished getting dressed, and he noticed that the outfit Hannah had chosen fit him perfectly. Thanks to her, he might finally be developing a sense of fashion."I had no idea he could look this good," Hannah's friends exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the transformed Andrew. It seemed he wasn't as unappealing as they had previously thought.Hannah had picked out all the clothes for Andrew, and as she stood up from the cushion she had been sitting on, ready to pay for everything, Andrew gently held her hands, stopping her in her tracks."Thank you for your kindness, but I can handle the bills myself," Andrew said, flashing her a grateful smile.Hannah didn't want to underestimate Andrew's financial situation, but she couldn't help but think he was still struggling financially. "You may not realize how much all these clothes are worth," she said, trying not to make him feel bad."Trash pretending to be wealthy... Haha. He's trying to show off in front of you," Nissan laughed,

Andrew stood outside the store, preparing to head home, when Hannah rushed out to meet him, seeking to apologize for her previous behavior."Andrew, wait up!" Hannah called out.Andrew wasn't in the mood, knowing that Hannah would bombard him with numerous questions."I'm sorry for how rudely I behaved earlier. Please disregard my attitude," Hannah earnestly attempted to clarify herself."It's alright, there's no need to apologize. You didn't say anything wrong. However, I must be on my way now. I have other things to attend to," Andrew finally interjected, wanting to distance himself from Hannah, especially considering she had a boyfriend.Hannah couldn't quite comprehend why he was avoiding her. "That's alright. I'll give you a call later," she said with a smile, waving him goodbye.Andrew was taken aback since he hadn't given Hannah his number, yet she confidently asserted that she would call him. Nevertheless, he didn't dwell on it, attributing it to her own reasoning."She probab

"Forty million," Andrew muttered to himself, he knew that he couldn't win the bid with that amount. "That's a good start, but I can go much higher." Andrew tapped the amount section and impulsively placed a bid of $60 million without much consideration. "There, that should do it. Over $60 million transferred and ready to secure the Emerald Crest," he said quietly, his face filled with determination. Meanwhile, Damian still bid the official amount, Damian thought to himself. "That loser just seems to be bragging he can never afford even 40 million dollars, so there is no need for me to waste my time in placing a higher bet. This property is mine," Damian smiled as he looked at Andrew. Just then, Evelyn emerged from her office and announced, "The bidding has been placed, and we officially have a winner." Damian eagerly anticipated hearing his own name, but to his astonishment, the outcome was quite the opposite. "Mr. Andrew Everest, you have won the bid. Congratulations and yo

Andrew waved his hands to bid them farewell, but his gestures were indirectly insults. The girls remained outside, confronting the security guards."Do you even know who my boyfriend is? He lives here, and if he finds out you treated me this way, I assure you, your jobs will be on the line. Are you seriously telling me I can't enter?" Melanie, the owner of the Lamborghini, exclaimed angrily."We follow the rules, and if you truly are who you claim to be, why don't you call him over, ma'am? This is a peaceful neighborhood. Instead of getting worked up, let's have a civil conversation," one of guard advised, trying to diffuse the tension."Melanie, just give him a call," Trisha, her friend, urged, giving her a reassuring pat on the back.Melanie let out a frustrated sigh. She dialed her boyfriend's number, hoping for a resolution."Hey, honey, I've been here for a while, and they won't let me in," she sobbed into the phone."Who the heck refused to let you in? I'm coming, just wait for

He couldn't bear the thought of Andrew humiliating him in front of her, so he swallowed his anger and chose to remain use a different manner of approach.Face-to-face, he decided to insult him at least this would compensate for the pain he just received "You're nothing but a poor thief!

The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain Did I Make A Wrong Decision?
It was the beginning of a new week, precisely Monday, marking the start of the workweek. Andrew was determined that this would be the week he would seize full control as the CEO of Stellarite Resources. It was hard to fathom that at such a young age, barely in his twenties, he was about to assume such a prestigious role.This achievement would undoubtedly be one of his greatest accomplishments, especially considering he was now a billionaire in his own right. Andrew had been granted a semester suspension, providing him with the freedom to do as he pleased during this period, and he was determined to utilize it wisely.Rising from his spacious king-sized bed, Andrew stretched his limbs. It had been quite some time since he had enjoyed such a restful night's sleep, and he felt remarkably rejuvenated, as if he were capable of anything."I need to hurry!" he exclaimed, quickly getting out of bed and rushing to the bathroom to freshen up. Andrew was well-prepared, opting for a casual outfi

Andrew leaned back in his chair, a rare smirk tugging at his lips. His fingers drummed rhythmically against the mahogany table as the boardroom fell silent. The projection screen at the front of the room displayed the financial reports of Blackwood & Associates, flashing red with losses."By this time next month," Andrew said smoothly, adjusting the cuff of his suit, "Blackwood will be nothing but a cautionary tale in corporate history."The board members exchanged glances. Some were skeptical, others impressed."You're certain of this?" one of the executives, a man with gray hair in his sixties, asked.Andrew turned his sharp gaze toward him. "I don’t make moves unless I’m certain, Caldwell."The numbers didn’t lie. Blackwood was bleeding. Their recent government contract dispute had cost them millions, and their internal executive infighting was turning their boardroom into a battlefield. Andrew had meticulously orchestrated their collapse, feeding just enough misinformation into t
Scandal Release
The boardroom was silent, all eyes on Andrew as he stood confidently at the head of the table. His executives had been debating all morning.Some wanted to sell off underperforming subsidiaries to stabilize Stellarite’s finances. Others were hesitant about expanding during a volatile market.Andrew had let them argue. Now, it was time to shut it down.He clicked the remote in his hand, switching the presentation slide."You're all focused on playing defense," he said, his voice smooth but firm. "But defense doesn't win wars. We don’t survive by retreating—we thrive by expanding."One of the executives, a sharp-suited woman named Lorraine, crossed her arms. "With respect, Mr.Andrew, expansion requires capital. And given our recent setbacks—"Andrew smirked. "Which is exactly why we need to strike now."Another slide appeared—financial reports on Blackwood & Associates.Andrew continued. "An example of companies we should be working on is the Blackwoods enterprise which looks stable on
Acquiring Neighbouring Companies
The city lights blurred past as Andrew twisted the throttle, pushing the bike to its limits. Hannah clung to his waist, her pulse racing as bullets whizzed past them, some sparking off street signs.A quick glance in the side mirror showed three more pursuers closing in.One of them pulled ahead, raising a gun. Hannah reacted instinctively.BANG!Her shot hit the guard’s tire, sending him skidding sideways before crashing into a parked car. The explosion lit up the night behind them.Andrew let out a low whistle. “Damn. You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?”Hannah grinned, breathless. “Not gonna lie—this might be the best day ever!”Andrew’s smirk vanished instantly. He shot her a quick glance.“What?”She laughed, still firing back at their pursuers. “I mean, come on! The adrenaline, the chase—this is insane!”Andrew’s brows furrowed. Hannah never enjoyed violence. She had always been the calm, logical one. The one who hated the reckless chaos that came with their old life.Something wa
Escape Plan
“Alright, you’re close,” Taylor said through the comms. “The item should be in the next room. But heads up, boss—this is Blackwood’s most secured vault.”Andrew smirked. “What’s life without a little challenge?”Hannah shot him a look. “Define ‘little challenge,’ because this entire day has been nothing but chaos.”He ignored her and pressed forward. A large steel door was ahead, with a high-tech biometric scanner.Taylor’s voice was sharp. “Andrew, this thing is fortified like a government facility. How do you plan to—”Before Taylor could finish, Andrew pulled out a small device from his jacket pocket and slapped it onto the scanner.Andrew’s fingers worked quickly as he cracked the encrypted safe. The screen blinked green, and with a quiet click, the door swung open.Inside, resting on a velvet cushion, was a black hard drive—small, unassuming, but packed with enough information to bury Vincent Blackwood’s empire.Andrew picked it up, smirking. “Bingo.”Hannah peered over his shoul
Birthday Heist 2
The air vents were narrow, almost suffocating as Andrew and Hannah crawled through, their movements tense and calculated. The cold metal pressed against their bodies as they maneuvered through the tight space, forcing them to stay close."Move faster," Andrew muttered, his voice low and focused."Easy for you to say," Hannah shot back, her breath warm against his back. "It’s not like I crawl through air vents every day."Andrew ignored her, keeping his attention ahead. Taylor’s voice crackled in his ear."Alright, boss, take a left at the next junction," Taylor said, "And try not to break anything. That vent system is old."Andrew grunted in acknowledgment and adjusted his position, leading Hannah through the metallic tunnel.Hannah, ever the troublemaker, smirked in the dim lighting. "You know, Everest, if you wanted to get me this close, you could've just asked."Andrew didn’t even blink. "If I wanted you close, I wouldn’t choose a cramped metal box to do it in."Hannah rolled her e
Birthday Heist
************Andrew didn’t dwell too much on the fact that Hannah was being inconsistent, knowing she would eventually return to him. He had more important matters to handle, one of which was teaching Vincent a lesson.Taylor had tipped him off that today was Vincent’s daughter’s birthday, and Andrew saw it as the perfect opportunity to execute his plan.He arrived at Blackwood Tower, the skyscraper owned by Vincent Blackwood.The building resembled a five-star hotel with its chandeliers, polished marble floors, and high-profile guests dressed in designer suits.Security was tight as armed guards patrolled the entrances, and high-tech scanners screened every guest. But Andrew moved through the crowd with the confidence as someone who owned the place, drawing curious glances from some of the elites. He wasn’t invited, yet he was here—because he wanted to be.As he reached the upper floor where the private gathering was being held, a waiter passed by with a tray of champagne. Andrew ca
Realization
Hannah’s head pounded as she stirred awake, groggy and disoriented. The morning sunlight streamed through the hotel room’s curtains, casting a soft glow across the bed. She blinked, adjusting to the brightness, and then—her breath caught in her throat.Andrew’s bare chest rose and fell beside her, his face relaxed in sleep.Her pulse quickened. Slowly, she pulled back the blanket and froze.She was naked as a sharp scream tore from her lips. “Ahhhhh!”Andrew jolted awake, his eyes snapping open as his instincts kicked in. His head turned towards her, confusion laced in his expression. “What the hell—”His gaze flicked between her panicked face and the way she desperately clutched the blanket around her body. And then, to her horror, he smirked.“Good morning to you too."Hannah’s face burned with a mixture of embarrassment and anger. Her hands gripped the blanket tightly as she pressed her back against the headboard, glaring at him.“What did you do to me?!” she demanded,Andrew, st
Drunken Encounter
Andrew clung tightly to Hannah, unaware of her presence as he grabbed her waist. He was completely naked and had no idea that Hannah was sleeping beside him as he felt the softness of her waist. Drawing her closer, he felt a sensation as her waist region pressed against his lower body.In her intoxicated state, Hannah mistook Andrew's touch for rough hands gripping her waist but found it strangely pleasurable, feeling the sensation inwardly.As Andrew slept, he started to become sexually aroused, his lower body responding as he began to awaken.Soon, Hannah sensed something inside her, moving with a rhythm that she instinctively followed. Both of them were too drunk to fully comprehend what was happening, lost in their intoxicated state.Moaning softly, Hannah felt the pleasure intensify as she responded to the sensations.Andrew, increasing his pace, gradually opened his eyes as he withdrew from her.Waking up, Hannah felt the pleasure subside and turned to see Andrew. In a drunken m
Unpredictable
The beeping of the heart monitor was the only sound breaking the heavy silence.Andrew stepped inside, his heart pounding as he saw Hannah lying on the bed. She looked fragile, her expression unreadable as she stared at the ceiling.For a brief moment, relief flooded him. She was awake. She was okay.But then—she turned her back to him. His breath hitched.“Hannah…” he called softly, stepping closer.She didn’t answer. The doctor, who had been checking her vitals, glanced between them awkwardly.“I don’t want to see him.” Hannah’s voice was quiet, yet Andrew could hear what she said as his chest tightened.“Hannah, what are you saying?” she still didn’t look at him. Instead, she turned to the doctor. “Please… ask him to leave.”Andrew froze in place. This wasn’t happening.“Hannah,” he lowered his voice trying his best possible way not to make her angry“You remember something, don’t you?” A small tear slipped down her cheek, but she quickly wiped it away.“I remember enough to know
