It took more shots of the alcohol than he expected to make Tessa drunk and in the end, the entire bottle was empty but still, his plan worked.

Once he got her drunk, years of using his power to guide conversations into whatever topic he wanted helped him lead the conversation into her opening up about what he wanted to know.

He did it so well that she even ended up thinking that it was her idea to spill everything to him in the first place.

She revealed how she got entangled with the Brothel in the first place about a year ago. How she needed money to look after her siblings after they ran away from their abusive father and alcoholic mother.

She said how to protect her younger siblings, she affiliated herself with the most competent person in any area she found herself while using her body as a bargaining piece, and whether man or woman, it worked every single time.

To make herself more indispensable, she started to realize that she could get information out of people with ease so tha

    Inside the Brothel headquarters, Buzz was on his knees, head down while wincing and gritting his teeth as he held back some tears. He was avoiding eye contact with two women who were scolding him and at the same time whipping him with a cane.This wasn’t a normal cane either, it was more like a short whip with blades all over its body. Buzz was made to kneel shirtless with his underwear and shoes being the only thing on his body, which meant that every stroke of the whip inflicted cuts and wounds on his skin.“You stupid piece of shit, how dare you to come back here without bringing that bitch along and making sure she’s a bloody mess!” said the woman with the whip and a scary scowl.“Even I would have done a better job if I had been the one who went after her! Why can’t we ever trust these stupid men to do their job right, huh sister?” Said the second woman who had a jug of lemon juice in her hand which she poured on Buzz whenever her sister whips him.“Beats me, sister, they’re utte

    They were all shocked, wondering why the call was coming in now. Who could it be that could access the Untitled Hotel that was coming around and those in charge had to start passing the message to everyone of importance?“What are you waiting for?! Go answer the call damn it!” Britney yelled at her sisters and Kate ran to the phone, stepping on the scantily dressed drug-addicted girls on her way there.She lifted the glass dome and dropped it on the floor then she held the headphone, raising them to her ear but before she could say anything, the call was terminated.They took too long to answer and if they want to find out what the message revealing exactly who it was that they were being warned about then they will have to wait a couple more minutes before they call back.The callers will all be busy getting the message across to everyone that should know about it so the sisters will have to give them time to finish that first before they’re free to answer their call.“You idiots was

  • The Midnight Heir    FREED

    Anthony walked up to Buzz’s resting body, kicked it in the ribs twice then stepped on his fingers to make sure that he was unconscious and that he wasn’t faking it. Once he confirmed that to be the case, Anthony looked down at Buzz with disappointed eyes. Not only did he go back on his promise of loyalty but he wasn’t even a worthy opponent to fight.“You should have just run away—“ Anthony said but was interrupted when all of a sudden..."Ahh!" All the scantily dressed drug-addicted girls in the middle of the room screamed, drawing Anthony’s attention to them.They were all on the floor together, squirming in fear of Anthony’s presence, and for each other’s emotional support, they clustered together, forgetting the fact they were just trying to kill each other over a small dose of drugs less than a minute ago.Anthony winced irritatingly and covered his ears when they screamed. He smacked his tongue out of annoyance then frowned at them when they wouldn’t stop and they were made to

  • The Midnight Heir    BANK STATEMENT

    "I'm fully aware that this is all just business so call your account number and the amount," Anthony said, squatting and passing his phone to Britney which once she looked at the screen she saw Mr. Rose Dana's name. Her mind didn’t automatically register that it was The Mr. Rose Dana of Dana Airlines that was on the other end of the call. How could it though, when she was under these stressful conditions?She took the phone and pressed it against her ear. The call had already been answered so all she had to do is just speak into the mouthpiece and call the figures she had in mind then it’ll all be over, at least that’s according to what Anthony said."Any amount? What if I lie about what it is and say something you possibly cannot afford to pay?" Britney asked and Anthony blinked slowly to show how unfazed he was.There was no figure that Britney could call for Anthony and Mr. Rose Dana that could easily go into her bank account which would dampen both men's moods. Mr. Rose Dana is w

    Outside the brothel building, Anthony thanked the men Mr. Rose Dana had sent to help him with this issue as they walked past him and got into their Jeeps.After that, he put out a call to Mr. Rose Dana while at the same time he helped Tessa's siblings get on his motorcycle.Tessa's little brother was at the back while his younger sister was in front of him and from how they spaced themselves, once Anthony gets on the motorcycle, he was going to sit in between them.Anthony trusted Tessa's younger brother to be able to hold on tight to him once the ride starts and he wasn't going to fall off. This assurance and trust came from the way Anthony saw him act back at the brothel headquarters.As for the little girl, Anthony was going to make sure that he keeps her safe in front so she doesn't fall."Did you get all you needed for the next phase, Mr. Dana?" Anthony asked, raising his head and looking directly at the headquarters from the ground down below.["Yes I did Master Anthony, and I'v

    "Sorry sir but we're closed for business until further notice. There was some issue here early this evening and they destroyed my place. If you want something then please go somewhat else or come back when we decide to open" the bar owner said.Anthony looked at the kids on his motorcycle then he pulled the owner to the side and talked to him.At first, the bar owner didn't agree with what Anthony told him but after looking at the kids himself the bar owner conceded and gave Anthony his way to do what he had planned."Come this way, kids" The bar owner went to get Joseph and Josephine."??" Joseph who was hesitant about trusting him decided to do so because Anthony was involved. Joseph came down from the motorcycle and then he helped his sister do the same.They both followed the bar owner into a separate section of the bar which had tables and chairs to sit on.That was the restaurant part of the bar where people can eat and it was only half occupied with chairs and tables because th

  • The Midnight Heir    THE BUSBOYS

    “Hmm?” Anthony grunted with his head still facing the top floor but his eyes flicked to his side where he saw two black vans parked close to the garage.“It makes sense that the Busboys are here too” Anthony mumbled.On sight, he already knew what those vans being here meant and which set of people came here in them. It was a dispatch team from an organization known as The Busboys.The Busboys are an independent organization in charge of doing clean-up for the underground crime world and that means all types of cleaning up which mostly leans toward the illegal side of things.The three groups they clean up for include The Mob and the two others.Aside from that, as a neutral party unaffiliated to any of the three groups, The Busboys are also in charge of looking after The Untitled Hotel and now that it was back to running because room 30 had been occupied, they are here to do their jobs.They were supposed to have done all of this for Anthony when he first came and they were in the pr

  • The Midnight Heir    REUNION

    A minute ago, the moment the elevator doors opened and the last floor was exposed to Anthony, Joseph, and Josephine, an elated Josephine was the first one to skip out of the metal box, innocently playing around the corridor while the other two watched her.She was very happy that they were just a few feet away from meeting their sister, Tessa while Joseph who also felt that way at the same time had the meeting with the Busboys dispatch team's supervisor playing over and over in his head.He couldn't help but imagine himself being dressed just like one of The Busboys, especially the man he talked to."Which room is yours, uncle?" Josephine asked, looking confused as she changed which room she was pointing at one after the other."Is it that one?" She said pointing at the last room out of all of them and looking at which room she was pointing Anthony creased his forehead and pursed his lips. "No, that room belongs to someone else and I would advise both of you not to go near it," Antho

    Abraham rose from his chair and looked at Johnathan with shock."Master Johnathan, what do you mean by that?! Are you seriously giving up on all of this and want to return home?!" Abraham asked enthusiastically.Johnathan was left speechless as he looked at Abraham and was grimacing in confusion.He never knew Abraham would react this way to what he said and it was like he was happy to hear him give up on the mission.Abraham grinned "Even though we've already done this much, it's not too late to stop all of this and return home Master Johnathan," he said then dropped on his chair.He immediately opened his desk drawer and searched for some documents which he started arranging, hoping to start packing what they needed so that they could leave this place first thing in the morning.Johnathan cleared his throat when he had seen enough."What is it, Master Johnathan? Do you have a cough? Sore throat maybe? Don't worry, I'll be right there to check what's wrong but first lemme put these d

    Johnathan looked at George and then at Abraham when he got close and he realized that he had forgotten a piece of vital information."Master Jo—" Abraham said but Johnathan quickly interrupted him."Not exactly. I forgot to tell you but this is Abraham, the person I called on the phone back at the bowling rink and he's the one sponsoring me so that I can attend Wellstone. I also call him my guardian like I told you" George looked at Johnathan skeptically then he looked at the luxurious apartment."So you're saying that none of this belongs to you but him?" George asked."Yes"George nodded his head and then started smiling."I thought so. No way a cool and nice guy like you comes from wealth. You almost gave me a heart attack there, not cool" George said.Abraham and the maids looked at George and they were all frowning that he could be talking to their master like this. He should show some respect.Seeing that they were going to lash out at George, Johnathan gave them a signal while

    Johnathan stared at this student, wondering if he wanted to get involved with him or not. He's already helped him wake up so should he involve himself beyond this point?In the end, he came up with his answer."I'm nobody," Johnathan said then stood up and stuffed his hands into his hoodie pocket."As you can see the party is over so you should start going him. That's why I'm doing" Johnathan said.The student looked around and he was disappointed that he missed the party. A reaction that Johnathan found strange because he was more concerned about that than the fact Bradly had knocked him unconscious."Whoever you are, thanks for waking me up. I should also start heading—" The student said as he was standing up but then his stomach started hurting and he crashed back down.The student grabbed his stomach and started wincing from the pain."What's wrong?" Johnathan asked him, worried that something else might be wrong."I don't know, my stomach just hurts like hell. Was it something I d

    "Hey Bradly, how come it seems like you know the Welfie on a personal level when none of us have ever seen him before?" One of the two students who came with Bradly asked.Immediately, a grin popped up on Bradly's face."What do you think worm, should I tell them?" Bradly whispered in Johnathan's ear and Johnathan jolted.Johnathan knew instantly what Bradly's plan was and what he was going to say to everyone and his heart started pounding fast."Listen, Bradly, don't say anything. Even though it was fake, we were still friends for—" Johnathan said but Bradly cut him off."Oh, you thought I was asking? For reminding me how I had to listen to your stupid complaints which made my brain melt all those time, watch this" Bradly said then stepped away from Johnathan and in the process, he brought out his phone and raised it in front of everyone.Bradly quickly went to the Bubble Tv platform, found a certain video, copied the link, and then sent it as a comment underneath the post on the scho

    Back at the apartment, Abraham was seated in his office chair and was going through some documents when his phone on the desk suddenly started ringing.Seeing who the caller was, Abraham hurriedly answered the call.“Master Zebadiah, good evening or should I say good afternoon in your case,” Abraham said.[“Thank you Abraham and greetings to you too. I was just calling to ask how are you and Johnathan settling into the apartment? Hope everything is to his liking”] Zebadiah said.“Yes master, Master Johnathan gave his approval of the place a while ago. He told me that he’s happy to have somewhere like this close to his school to hang out during days he wants to get away from school stress”[“That’s good to hear. And Johnathan, where is he right now?”]“Well, master Johnathan told me that his level-mates were organizing a get-together somewhere close by so he went to go check it out. He wants to make as many acquaintances as possible before he starts school officially”Zebadiah grunted.

    Johnathan was almost a whole foot taller than Zack was and because he wasn’t sitting and hunching anymore, his hoodie didn’t seem as big as it used to.Zack and his friends were starting to see that not only was Johnathan tall but he was also muscular and all three of him were speechless.“Hey Zack, don’t just stand there, teach that Welfie a lesson not to mess with people like us,” Someone from the crowd said.Even though he didn’t want to, Zack just had to show himself and there was only one way he could try to conquer Johnathan since he couldn’t attack him physically.“Listen here Welfie, as I said before, I’m Zack Griffin from the Griffin family and I’m sure you’ve heard of me. If you know what’s good for you, better let go of my hand right now or else you’ll receive a message from the school first thing tomorrow morning about your expulsion. Trust me, I can make that happen” Zack threatened then smirked.Johnathan shrugged “You can try but you’ll be surprised by the outcome,” he

    The reason they were treating Johnathan this way was because they hadn't seen him anywhere around the school before and that only meant one thing.In Wellstone, the kids from the richest family are given their admission first and they are also given top priority in everything else so they are the first to start the academic session.The school would never admit that this preferential treatment exists but it does nonetheless and it is usually the students who enforce it with their actions.The later your resumption shows your level of importance in the school and with that mindset, even though the school is massive with thousands of students, everyone knows who the important people to look up to and respect are.For them not to know Johnathan only means that he either is just starting his academic session now or isn't that important for any of them to know. This makes him someone under scholarship or someone who's barely able to attend Wellstone.None of those two options are good posi

    The more they walked, the closer and louder the music became and there was a door in front of them which had the bowling alley behind it.Johnathan could see colorful lights escaping from the cracks which let him know that it isn’t just bowling but there should also be a party happening in there.Whoever organized this must have paid a pretty penny to transform a regular bowling rink into a disco party but since they are students of Wellstone, the money should be considered a cheap change to them.Because of how close Johnathan was behind her, Shirley got annoyed and stopped walking."Why the hell are you following me?" She asked and Johnathan grimaced.He also stopped after hearing the ridiculousness of the accusation."Who said I'm following you?" He asked."You are so there's no use denying it," she said as a vein bulged on her forehead.Johnathan scoffed then he smacked his tongue."Listen here miss Vice President or whatever you call yourself—""It's Shirley, Shirley Price.

    Johnathan grimaced as he leaned closer, getting all up in her face."Oh really? You don't know her?" He asked and she avoided eye contact."If that's true then why don't I believe you? Something tells me that you do know her and you're lying to me to protect your friend" Johnathan said and Shirley got irritated."I told you I don't know anyone like that so get the hell out of my personal space!" Shirley got aggressive and pushed him away.Because of how tall and more muscular than her Johnathan was, her shove didn't really do much but he moved back on his own accord anyway."You said this entire place was reserved for the students of Wellstone, those were your own words, and that right there was where she robbed." Johnathan pointed at where he made contact with the girl with red and black hair."What other proof do I need to show that she was a fellow student of Wellstone and as the Vice President you know or at least have an idea of who she is" Johnathan pursed his lips."I said I do
