When Anta and Cephas got into their first and only meeting for the day, The head of finance was waiting for them to give his report, but the heads of the other departments were also there, Cephas as was already annoyed at the events of the day, but he still sat down at one of the chairs there. Jose cleared his throat and began. "Good morning sir, we are so happy to have you back after such a long while at work. I know you asked for the head of finance to give you a report this morning but I felt that it would be more effective if we had the reports from every department in the company since they are connected in some way." he had missed having Cephas around to talk about work and was excited about his presence in the office. Cephas didn't know about this but just stead of getting angry about this unseen event, he waved his hands for them to go ahead. The departments in the company all came forward one by one to give reports of the progr3ss that had been made since Cephas last saw
After all he scolded he got from violet, he received a text from Walter’s corporation. He opened it and saw the most expected message. He knew Violet wasn’t going to take it well. She was expecting so much money on a platter of gold for offering just her body. Marcus loved to reap where didn’t sow. Instead of them starting working with the little resources they had. If he was in their shoes, he would have asked his talented employees to create projects that clients can invest in. That will give investment companies a little spark of faith in them. Of course he would have shared the tip with them but they weren’t willing to listen to him or anything. So he was going to save the penny to himself and watch them suffer. “Violet…” he called and she looked up from her personal phone. He had received the message from her business phone earlier. She was so engrossed in the game she was playing. He wondered how she’s able to stay on her phone 24/7 without working but she is quick to call h
In the Marcus House, they were all having dinner around the table. Mrs Marcus was making Cephas do all the things that the servants were supposed to do. She was the only one that still picked on him the most but was very lenient with everyone else in the family.Asking him to add syrup to her food or telling him to refill the jug, but he did what she asked without complaining because he didn't want to cause a scene.Plus he had been in a good mood since Violet has lost the investment she wanted through fraudulent activities. To him sleeping with a CEO for an investment is fraud.Though Walter’s Corporation was losing its money, they were still strict about whom they gave their money to. They were already in a tender place and making the wrong investment right now could completely destroy the business. It was none of his business anyway.Mrs Marcus had been quiet because ever since everyone in the family found out about her gambling addiction, she had no access to the family’s cash
As Lucas opened the door for Jimmy to come in, Jimmy stepped into the room all decked up in the latest brands, his black hair shining and his teeth shining brighter. He looked like a potential billionaire bachelor but unknown to Marcus in reality he had nothing.He had even gone to borrow the suit he was wearing. Violet lost her composure at how he looked, the jimmy that she remembered wasn't this handsome. Her eyes kept scanning his full look.He was a scrawny boy who was shorter than her, had a nose that was always running and couldn't defend himself whenever she picked on him in the past.He has grown taller, gained muscle or just his newfound confidence that makes him more attractive.The jimmy who stood in front of her looked confident and clean. He was wearing a suit that belonged to a brand that even his father only wore once or twice each year on special occasions, because of the price.She looked over to her mother and saw that her mother was also staring at him with her m
Cephas faced off against Jimmy in a fierce showdown. The air crackled with tension as fists flew and feet stomped. Cephas ducked and weaved, showing off moves he learned on those very streets. With a swift kick, he knocked Jimmy off balance.Jimmy, determined but caught off guard, tried to land a punch, but Cephas dodged like a street-smart ninja. Cephas retaliated with a powerful uppercut that sent Jimmy staggering backward. Violet, her parents and Lucas gasped as Cephas unleashed a flurry of punches, channeling all the frustration and betrayal into his every move.In a final triumphant move, Cephas delivered a roundhouse kick that sent Jimmy sprawling to the ground. The victory was clear as Cephas stood over his jimmy's limp body, breathing heavily but victorious. The streets, once witnesses to conflict, now whispered tales of an unexpected hero who stood tall against the odds. Cephas had won not just a fight but a battle for respect and justice in the gritty landscape he called
Flash backJimmy wasn’t having it anymore. He just got beaten by Marcus' useless son-in-law that didn’t even have a job. The men that he had called to deal with him, chickened out, saying that they couldn’t inflict physical harm on anyone.Who could a useless man possibly be?Cephas on the other hand texts Jose and Anta on their private group chat.“Sorry to disturb your night, my Favorite couple but who is Jimmy at our office?”“Good evening sir, he is a new recruit. Is there any problem?” Anta was the first to reponse.“Jim is the new boy on our team. He has begun work with us already. I was going to notify you when you came to the office.” Jose replied after.“Your boy just showed up in the house, proposed to Violet and promised them investment deals because he was close to the management.” Cephas typed as fast as he could while Marcus was still sucking around Jimmy.“What!” Jim answered first this time.“He has broken the code of conduct; promising people investments. He hasn’t eve
“Bang! Bang Bang!.” there was a loud thud in Marcus’ residence…“Who is that?” Lucas yelled, reducing the volume of the tv. The person had been knocking the door for a long time, he had even given up pressing the bell a long time ago.There was no response.“Give me a moment please.” He yelled. Without confirming the person’s identity.”The person pushed Lucas to the ground and four other armed men also came in, all of them stepping on his head like he wasn’t there.One of the armed men pulled him by his top. “Where is the rest of the family?”“They,” he stammered and the armed man gave him a dashing slap on his face.“Speak normally before you receive two more.” He yelled in Lucas’s ear.“They are in their rooms.” He answered quickly as he struggled to sit properly.The armed men rushed into the rooms to fish everyone in the “Please don’t shoot me. I promise to do whatever you ask.”They brought everyone together in the sitting room. All of them were screaming for their lives."Alrig
Violet stood fuming on the porch of their elegant family home, her frustration boiling over like a cauldron on a hot stove. Her cousin, Lucas, stood before her, his expression a mixture of confusion and defensiveness. The afternoon sun beat down mercilessly, mirroring the intensity of their exchange."You imbecile!" Violet spat, her voice dripping with venom. "How could you bring that incompetent fool into our home?"Lucas recoiled at her words, his brow furrowing in disbelief. "I didn't know things would turn out like this, Vi," he protested weakly. "He seemed legitimate, and he assured me he had connections to the CEO."Violet scoffed, her anger unabated. "Connections? More like delusions of grandeur! That so-called secretary of his nearly caused a riot in our living room with his empty promises and half-baked schemes."Lucas shook his head, his frustration mounting. "I had no idea he would act so unprofessionally. I thought he could help us secure the investment from CW Investment
