The Hidden Magnate: Cephas Walter

Chapter 1 - Biggest ShockCephas was delivering cakes on a snowy afternoon. He struggled, driving his scooter on the slippery highway, as chilly air threw itself at his face.This was the last delivery he had to make before he returned to the warmth of his house and to his beautiful wife.He was trying to earn the last cash to complete the money he had been saving up to buy her a designer bag.His wife, Violet loved handbags so much but he could not buy designer bags for her. Because of the types of friends she had, she hated the idea of buying a knockoff bag. Besides the fact that he had to ride a long way to the hotel, he was happy that the next day was his birthday.He would turn 25 years old, his struggles and hardship he was facing was finally coming to an end.The thought of that made him more enthusiastic to work without thinking of the stress he was passing through.He parked his scooter on the driveway of the hotel. The place was closed, it seemed like very wealthy people ha

Chapter 3 - LoserCephas and Violet walk out of the divorce court after finalizing their divorce case. He was so sad to let Violet go but she didn’t want him anymore. There was nothing he could do about it.He had been begging her but she fell on deaf ears.He had even explained that he was expecting some money. She told him to move on with his life.She was done with him!“I hope women are wise enough to stay away from a broke man like you so their lives won’t be miserable.” She said scornfully to him.“Are you saying your life with me was miserable? When I gave you all you asked for?”“Getting me bags and shoes that were out of season isn’t living miserably? See why you don’t deserve to have any woman in your life,”She sized him from head to toe. “I made a terrible mistake marrying you. Hopefully no one else does the same. Take a look at all I wore today, kade bought them for me.”“I have bought more things for you, would it kill you if you tried to be satisfied with what I got

Chapter 5 - 5 Hundred Million Dollars “What’s wrong?” Cephas asked with concern written on his face. He had never seen her that way since he started working in her company. This situation was strange to him.Ms Williams broke down in tears and sank in her office chair, he offered her a clean handkerchief to wipe her face. He paced around her office then he sat down before he spoke. “It’s okay if you don’t want to talk, I am sorry for what happened.”Ms Williams sniffed and dabbed her face with the handkerchief. “I am sorry for acting like a child. It’s unlike me to act like that.”“You didn’t act like a child, sometimes crying helps to relieve stress.” He said to make her feel relaxed. Her eyes were red from crying but her makeup wasn’t ruined.“It must be waterproof” he thought to himself. At least her makeup wasn't all over the place, the other members of staff won’t be aware of what just happened.He didn’t like the way she was crying, he was eager to know what made her cry. She

Chapter 7 - In shockMs Williams could not speak for some moment. She was too stunned to speak, like the zeros behind the figure five hypnotized her.She didn’t expect to see that amount of money as her credit from him. It was like a dream, a fairytale.This was real life not some disney movie, she pinched her cheek to see if was really awake.She was indeed awake watching the fat sum of money sitting in her account. Her emotions were all over the place, she didn’t know if she was supposed to cry or laugh at her situation.She just managed to digest the whole situation.Cephas cleared his throat. “Ms Williams?” He called, he got no response from her. He went to her side to give her a tap. She recovered from her start for shock, adjusting her shirt, she sat on her chair to regain her composure. It was like something caught her tongue, she didn’t know how to talk. How was she supposed to react? Jump and bow to him to say thank you?But that would seem like she was doing too much. Gee

He excused himself from the gathering to join his sister then they went to the company. A team of bodyguards in black suits and shades were waiting for them at the entrance.The company had gone to be bigger than what it used to be. Sarah moved close to him.“You are going to reclaim your position as the CEO, Father was impressed that the Worbes magazine mentioned you as the Magnate of the year for the past three years.”The bodyguards quickly surrounded him as he got down from the car. He was impressed because he didn’t get this kind of treatment from father in the past.He drove himself without a driver or bodyguards, his father had banned all those services from his reach.His hard work while he was at the company paid off and his father finally gave him what he deserved. To keep him protected, she and the bodyguards helped him pass the back of the company. After the day’s work, Sarah took him to his hotel penthouse. “We are doing temporary renovations in your house, you should
