Martin walked straight towards where Williams stood and said, "Mr. Martin, we had to come here because of your secretary's rude and fruitless response to us! The car that you damaged is yet to be repaired and the car owner demands compensation"Williams burst out laughing as if he was in front of a comedy show."Stella, did you hear that?" He said, still laughing while everyone else stared at him, wondering if he was insane."Honey, I think these people are serious," she said, causing Williams to pause before staring at Martin, sternly and asking, "But I don't know the owner of the car; as long as a thief was driving it when it got damaged, that thief should pay for it." He turned to Mike and glared."The owner of the car is Mike Duncan! They was a mistake in the name registered on it, and that has been adjusted," Martin informed, causing William's eyes to widen in shock."They must be a mistake. Come on! I know this thing, he can barely feed, and even with all the money he has worke
Martin walked to the front of the police station to meet up with Mike.“Sir, you called me,” He said, causing Mike to nod his head in response,“How’s it going in there?” Mike inquired,“The lawyer is being unreasonable, demanding to see you, but if you don’t want to, then you don’t have to” Martin responded.“Oh, please, I don’t want to speak with Williams or his lawyer,” Mike paused “They’re not ready to pay compensation. What’s next?” he asked the insurance adjuster.“Then we’ll take him to court!” Martin said, causing Mike to nod his head.“But then, he’ll have to pay double the money for damages and stress,” Martin said and a smirk immediately curved on Mike's lips,He gestured for Martin to come closer before whispering something into his ear.“Okay sir,” Martin said.“I’ll take my leave now, get back to me on the progress,” Mike said and left the court. He hailed a taxi and headed straight home Mike was about to get out of the taxi when he received a call. “Hello, young maste
"He's clean; there's no phone with him," the man who searched Mike informed, causing Mike to let out a long sigh, one that he didn't know he was holding."Okay, now get him into the car"Mike was dragged into another car. Two men sat beside him, each one with a gun in their pocket. The driver couldn't stop gazing at him through the front mirror of the car."Cover his face," He immediately instructed. Mike swallowed hard as they took a black sack and put it over his face, saying,"Now you close your eyes"Soon, they arrived at a location. The sound of silence was overwhelming. "Where is this?" Mike finally asked, arching his brows. They tried dragging Mike down from the car, but Mike was strong-willed. He sat still and asked again, "Where is this place?" Inside him, he was terrified, but physically; he pulled a straight face, not wanting to reflect his emotions."Will you shut up and comply, or we'll be forced to drag you?" One of the men said, causing Mike to narrow his eyes."Wher
“Timothy?” Mike said in shock. He didn’t expect to see his formal boss,“You son of a bitch! Do you think you can make me lose my job and go free? You must be joking!” Timothy said and pushed Mike to the ground, making his head face the ground. He dragged his hand backward and untied his shoelace. He immediately used it to tie his hand and screamed,“He’s over here, boys!” In 30 seconds, more than four men surrounded them. Timothy stood to his feet and let them handle Mike; he then threw a slap on one of their faces before saying in a rage, “Should I help you do your job? What are you being paid for? Huh? If Raymond finds out about this, then you’re gone!” He said, mentioning the name Raymond again, causing Mike, who had his eyes closed, to immediately open them, wanting to know who Raymond was.“This time, make sure you lock the door to his room. I don’t want this to be messed up,” Timothy said, causing the men to respond in unison,“Yes, boss!”They took Mike to a different room, u
Slowly, Mike opened his eyes to see that he was in a neat room, better than the room he stayed in a few minutes ago."You're up?" The voice fell into his ear, causing him to swallow hard before asking,"Where... Where am I?" His body was arching all over, but he tried to remain calm."We changed location, dear. They found us, which is almost impossible," Raymond said, causing Mike to realize that it could be the message he sent to Paul.Now, he has no idea where he was. "Who are you?" Mike asked,"You've seen me before, right? I know! But I want you to do something for me, okay?" He said, causing Mike to arch his brows before asking,"What do you mean?" Mike tried struggling to get to his feet but he couldn't, causing him to arch his brows."It's no use trying to stand up. I figured that the ropes were causing bruises on your hand, so I decided to use the modern method," Raymond explained"And what method is that?" Mike asked. He was wondering what they did to him and still trying to
“Why is she not here yet?” Mike muttered as he paced back and forth on the luxurious rooftop of a hotel. He walked towards the edge and gazed down at the city, wondering why Stella, his wife, hadn’t arrived at the address he sent her earlier.For 6 months, Mike has been working day and night, saving to pay for this VIP rooftop for a night. He planned on surprising his wife. Mike grinned as he walked back to the table for two that were set in the middle of the rooftop with a big TV screen in front of it. He checked his wristwatch for the time and was surprised to see that it was already 15 minutes past 8.“Why is she late? Did something happen?” He thought as he dialed her phone number. He sat on one of the chairs, waiting for her to answer, but she didn’t.Mike’s heart suddenly began to beat rapidly. He couldn’t comprehend why she was late and still couldn’t answer her call. “Is everything all right?” He thought and dialed her number again but still got no answer. “I... I hope she’s
Mike gazed at the tall, well-built man in front of him. He couldn't comprehend what a man was doing in the hotel room his wife called him to."Baby, who is that? Please tell me our food is here. I'm famished." Stella's voice fell into Mike's ear, causing him to furrow his brows"Baby?" He thought and tried to peep into the room but he couldn't"Williams..." Stella called the man's name when she didn't get a response."Oh honey, come over here," Williams said, causing Mike to swallow hard. He gazed at the door, waiting to see the woman's face."Baby, who...." Stella was stunned the moment her eyes fell on her husband. Mike couldn't bring himself to utter a word. He was still in shock."What are you doing here?" Stella asked abruptly, with a frown on her face. Mike shook his head as he took his phone out of his pocket. He quickly scrolled to her text and showed her, asking, "What are you doing here, Stella?" "How is that any of your business?" she sneered. Williams smirked and pulled
“Take your stupid ring and get lost,” Stella sneered. The ring was the only thing Mike had when the orphanage found him and took him from the streets.Williams slowly closed the door as he whispered to Stella, “Poor thing, he looks like a dejected dog,” Mike sighed. Realizing that there was no reason to stay, he bent down to pick up the ring,“Argh,” He growled and squatted, finding it hard to stand. He took his hand up to his head to touch where he felt the impact of the bottle. “Ow!” He winced in pain, biting his lips so hard they almost bled as he clutched his fist and struggled to stand upright.Mike stumbled and walked into the lift. Recalling Stella and William’s insults, he sniffed and tried wiping off the tears that welled up in his eyes.Bringing his hand down, his eyes fell on a mixture of blood and tears; the bloodstains were all over his forehead.“You’re so poor, and I can’t spend my life with someone like you. I never loved you,” Stella’s words echoed in his ear as he g
