The Midnight Heir OFFENSE
Anthony who had been keeping quiet all this time and allowed Benjamin to do what he wanted, waiting for the right moment finally made his move.He grabbed Benjamin's wrists and started to squeeze them with all his strength.He might have been lenient earlier when they were both outside, but this time Anthony was being serious. It was time Benjamin knows what was going on and so he squeezed Benjamin's wrists until they started to make some snapping sounds."Ouch! What the fuck! Stop that you asshole—" Benjamin exclaimed, groaning and wincing in pain but Anthony kept on, interrupting Benjamin when he finally had something to say."Sorry to say this to you Oswald but this company no longer belongs to Mr. Dana, it's mine now," Anthony said with a malicious tone of voice.He had been waiting for this moment after the promise he made outside."What?!" Benjamin exclaimed from what he heard, grimacing and going down on his knees from the pain of Anthony's grip "You're the owner of what?!"Ant
The Midnight Heir MIGRAINE
Anthony grunted, not knowing how he should react to this news but then looking at Mr. Rose Dana and how enthusiastic about this he was being, he could only shrug and sigh in concession.He leaned back into the chair "I trust you so do as you wish Mr. Dana. Making my presence known to my cousins now is as good a time as any" Anthony said, giving Mr. Rose Adana the go-ahead and Mr. Rose Dana became even happier.Mr. Rose Dana walked out from his side of the desk, walked across Benjamin's distraught body then stopped in front of Miss Charlie.Mr. Rose Dana said "You'll be coming with me too. This isn't just for the Midnight family but also for the people of Polaris and the world at large. They should know that my daughter is now the chairwoman of their favorite company"Miss Charlie's heart raced, smiling from ear to ear as she bowed her head to Mr. Rose Dana. Suddenly, letting loose of her emotional control, she dashed and hugged him.For the split second that she hugged her father she
The Midnight Heir BENJAMIN GOES INSANE
Inside the elevator, the two secured men who were grimacing, annoyed at hearing Benjamin's crazy ramblings did what they could to hear it less and so they both looked away from him.His rambling had been consistent since they left the last floor but started to reduce and sound more coherent when they got halfway down the building.Going through the second floor, he finally stopped."Huh? Why am I in an elevator?" Benjamin asked himself as his senses came back and then the security who realized that what he said made sense both looked at him."Hey, am I also going crazy, or what he just said kind of made sense to you?" the security holding on to Benjamin's left side asked."Yeah, it did! Do you think he's snapped out of it?" The one holding on to Benjamin's right side asked and Benjamin who felt numb all over his body looked at them one after the other."What are you two talking about?" he asked looking confused as to who they were before lowering his field of vision and seeing that th
The Midnight Heir AFTERMATH OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT
Immediately after Mr. Rose Dana’s announcement was over, all the reporters packed up their gear and rushed out of the scene, returning to all the news companies they work for.They were done with the live broadcast but their editors-in-chief still needed them to provide additional information about the event that wasn’t caught on camera and they wouldn’t be able to do that if they aren’t present in the meeting.This was a required step because, in this business of theirs, the first to bring out the most efficient news story always had the eyes of the public which in turn brings more money for the media they represent.“That was a great speech Sir, you never disappoint with whatever you decide to do” Miss Charlie said to Mr. Rose Dana while they both stood outside by the entrance of the building.They were watching the vans that the reporters came in drive away as fast as they could under the speed limit.“Thank you, Charlie,” Mr. Rose Dana said then suddenly, Miss Charlie’s smiling fa
The Midnight Heir ANTHONY’S NEW DEBIT CARD
"Don't mind this buddy, just a security measure after some idiot brought a gun and shot in here a month ago. Now we're required to do this by the city even after it's been a week since this place opened up again" said one of the security guys who used to be one of the ticket takers back when the incident happened.Anthony grunted, realizing that it made sense for this to be happening then he gave his phone to the guy there so he could pass through the metal detectors without setting off the alarm and he walked right through successfully."Welcome to the Nostalgia cinema, tickets and up ahead so just keep walking and you'll get there," the security guy said very apathetically as he extended and gave Anthony back his phone."Thanks," Anthony said.Once he got back his phone, it started to ring and on checking the screen, it was a call from Mr. Rose Dana.Anthony was surprised at first so he answered because it had to be something important for him to be calling just minutes after they se
The Midnight Heir LOGOS
"What are you talking about? Trouble? How? From who?" Anthony who was completely confused as to what Murray was talking about, asked.As a response, Anthony watched Murray lower his head in a heavy sigh, got away from the door, and walked around him, only to return to his desk where he sat down in his office chair.Murray meditated for a few seconds, readying himself for what he was about to say before finally facing Anthony and saying "I'm talking about some dangerous guy in a trench coat who has been looking for you everywhere for an entire month now"Surprised by this revelation, Anthony walked up to the desk and stood at the other side from Murray, where looking at the edge of the desk he saw a skipping rope and some exercise balls which felt completely out of place.Disregarding what he saw, Anthony asked "Looking for me? Why?!"Murray stared right into Anthony's eyes, describing what he could remember of Saul Solomon's features aside from the trench coat and then asking "Do you
The Midnight Heir COURIER
"Wait, what?!" Murray's tiny smile that he was holding on to in hopes that Anthony was going to say would be good, vanished."Do you want me to put it in writing? It's all the same to me either way. I came to resign" Anthony said, sounding indifferent to how his words were making Murray feel.After what happened that day, becoming friends with Todd, Corner, and then the other workers at the cinema, Murray concluded that it all happened thanks to Anthony and as a result, he ended up seeing Anthony as one of his closest friends.He had promised himself that when Anthony comes back then he would address how he treated him before, apologize for it, and then they move on as friends. However, since then things weren't going the way he wanted.He had tried to call Anthony after the day of the trial but the number Anthony used in his application later was fake and unreachable. Murray could only wait, hoping that he sees him again but now that it's happening, Anthony was telling him this?Unex
The Midnight Heir CASEY’S REPROACH
"I came to see the manager," Anthony said nonchalantly, pointing in the direction of the manager's office.From the looks, it's obvious that the place had been renovated and it was like a completely different restaurant in the interior from what Anthony remembered. After the destruction his altercation with Julius had caused here that day, the manager ordered a renovation to change the mood. She wanted to make herself forget what had happened, instead of just replacing the things Anthony had destroyed.The only thing that was the same was where the manager's office and the changing room were. Everything else aside those those was different which is why Casey was at the entrance.Even their uniform was different to match the new theme"You came to see the— come here!" Casey said, rolled her eyes then grabbed and pulled Anthony to the side to make way for other customers."What is it?" When they stopped, Anthony asked with a creased forehead, getting annoyed that she was still holding
