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
Lily leaned in, excitement dancing in her eyes. "Violet, I've got some intriguing news. Oliver is quite taken with you, and he's also interested in investing in your father's business. It's like hitting two birds with one stone!"Violet, caught off guard by the unexpected twist, raised an eyebrow. "Really? This is about business for him?"Lily nodded enthusiastically, "Absolutely! He sees potential in the company and believes in your father's vision. Plus, he genuinely likes you. It's a win-win situation."Violet's mind raced, processing the information. "So, he's interested in me and the investment?"Lily grinned, "Yes, it's like a perfect alignment of stars. You get support for your father's business, and maybe a little romance on the side. What do you think?"As Violet pondered the proposal, Lily's eyes sparkled with mischief, thrilled by the prospect of weaving together the threads of business and romance for her friend.Violet didn't care about the romance, all she wanted was an
Cephas strolled down the upscale avenue, his steps measured and deliberate. His eyes scanned the elegant storefronts that lined the street, each one boasting the latest in high fashion and luxury. He adjusted the collar of his designer jacket, a subtle flex of his own affluence as he approached a boutique adorned with sleek, minimalist signage that spelled out "Elysium."Pushing open the glass door, Cephas stepped into the pristine interior of the boutique. Soft lighting cast a warm glow over rows of meticulously arranged clothing racks, each piece more opulent than the last. A sales associate, impeccably dressed in a tailored suit, looked up from his clipboard and met Cephas's gaze with a practiced smile."Good afternoon, sir. Welcome to Elysium. How may I assist you today?" the salesman inquired, his tone oozing with polished charm.Cephas returned the smile, though his eyes gleamed with a quiet confidence. "I'm in the market for some new attire. Something... exquisite."The salesma
“Boss, there is something I would like to discuss with you.” Jose said as soon as Cephas arrived in the home that he had given to him and Anta. “What is that?” Cephas replied to him as he scrambled through the wardrobe to pick a suitable outfit.“I think I know the real reason why the chairman wants you home.” He said.Taken aback by his statement, he reduced the pace at which he used to ransack his wardrobe. “What is that?” he asked with curiosity.“The Walter Corporation is in it’s reds.” Jose announced to him.“That is none of my business. I am only going to see him because of Tyla. he probably knows that I am aware that Tyla is not dead.” Cephas as he finally picked out an outfit.“It has to do with what I was going to do today. The Chairman is going to ask you to receive the company in order to find out where she is.” Joose said.“What! Did my father think I would fall for his schemes againn? Anta has found Tyla, hasn’t she?”“Yes, she has. We are cureenlty working on your tr
