Chapter Five

Vincent found himself caught in the whirlwind of an extraordinary and dangerous event. With his heart pounding against his chest, he glanced around nervously, his eyes darting from one side to another.

As Vincent turned a corner, he noticed two colossal figures, dressed in impeccably tailored black suits, standing beside an expensive, black-tinted SUV.

Their stern expressions and bulging muscles made their presence known. A sense of authority emanated from them, leaving no doubt in Vincent's mind that they were bodyguards.

Curiosity sparked within him, and before he could think twice, Vincent found himself drawn closer to the enigmatic scene.

From his vantage point, he could see that the SUV exuded an aura of power and luxury. Its gleaming black exterior reflected the city lights, blending seamlessly with the urban backdrop.

Suddenly, as if by some unspoken cue, the two bodyguards turned their heads in Vincent 's direction.

Their gaze pierced through him, locking onto his trembling form. Panic surged within him, urging him to flee, but his feet seemed rooted to the ground.

In a swift, synchronized motion, the bodyguards approached Vincent , their confident strides echoing with each step.

Their stern faces betrayed no hint of emotion as they encircled him. With a firm grip on each arm, they gently but assertively guided him towards the open door of the SUV.

Vincent 's heart raced, his mind flooded with unanswered questions. Who were these imposing men, and what was their purpose? Was he in danger, or was this an unexpected stroke of fortune?

The interior of the vehicle was a world unto itself. Luxurious leather seats, immaculate craftsmanship, and state-of-the-art technology blended seamlessly to create an atmosphere of opulence.

The scent of rich leather and the gentle hum of the engine greeted Vincent as he was ushered into the plush back seat.

Once inside, the bodyguards released their grip, allowing Vincent to breathe again. He found himself alone, momentarily enveloped by a silence that seemed out of place within the pulsating city. The only sound that resonated through the vehicle was the soft purr of the idling engine.

In the back seat of the sleek black SUV, Vincent sat anxiously, his mind racing with anticipation. The leather upholstery embraced him, its smoothness adding a touch of comfort to his restless nerves. He adjusted his clothes nervously , straightening it for what felt like the hundredth time, his eyes darting to the rearview mirror in search of any sign of her arrival.

And then, like a vision materializing from the depths of his imagination, she appeared. A stunning woman, draped in an elegant business attire that exuded both power and allure.

Her curves accentuated every inch of her figure, highlighting her confidence and femininity. Her dark, cascading hair fell gracefully over her shoulders, framing a face that could launch a thousand ships.

As she approached the SUV, the world seemed to slow down. Her eyes, a captivating shade of emerald green, locked with Vincent 's, causing his heart to skip a beat.

The corners of her lips curled into a subtle smile, teasing him with a glimmer of mystery and excitement.

She slid into the back seat, her movements effortlessly graceful. The scent of her perfume lingered in the air, a delicate fragrance that hinted at passion and ambition.

Her eyes sparkled with a gleam of triumph, as if she held the key to a treasure trove of possibilities.

“This is not someone that I expect to see , why did you kidnap me? What do you want from me ?” Vincent asked impatiently

"I have good news," she purred, her voice a seductive melody that sent shivers down Vincent 's spine. It was a voice that commanded attention and demanded respect, carrying an air of authority that mirrored her business attire.

The young man leaned in, captivated by her presence.

"What is it?" he managed to utter, his voice tinged with a mixture of hope and curiosity.

Her smile widened, revealing a row of pearly white teeth.

"It's something that can change your entire life," she whispered, the words dripping with promise.

Vincent 's mind whirred with possibilities. Could it be a career opportunity? A chance encounter that would alter the course of his future? His eyes bore into hers, searching for answers.

"I've gone through your documents , your life and I even know what happened between you and your girlfriend Nina,she called you broke and uneducated" she continued, her voice resonating with admiration.

Vincent 's heart swelled with a mixture of annoyance and disbelief. To think that someone of her caliber had been paying attention to his life was beyond scary.

"I was asked to come here by tsome influential people who believe in your potential," she revealed, her tone filled with conviction. "They want to offer you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, one that could catapult you to heights you've only imagined."

Vincent 's breath caught in his throat. He struggled to absorb the weight of her words, the magnitude of the opportunity she presented. His dreams, so long confined to the realm of fantasy, now danced tantalizingly within reach.

The woman reached into her briefcase, retrieving a folder with meticulous care. She handed it to him, the weight of it symbolizing the gravity of the moment.

"This contains the details," she said, her voice tinged with excitement. "Take your time to review it. Consider it carefully."

As he held the folder in his trembling hands, Vincent couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude for the woman sitting before him even though he knows that it’s too good to be true. She was a force of nature, an enigmatic presence that had entered his life with the promise of change.

Their gazes locked once more, and in that instant, Vincent knew that his life was about to transform. He couldn't suppress the excitement that swelled within him, nor the spark of determination that ignited in his eyes.

With the taste of possibility on his lips, Vincent vowed to seize this opportunity with unwavering passion. The journey ahead was uncertain, but he was ready to embrace it,guided by the powerful allure of the woman in the back seat, who had arrived with the promise of a life-altering change.

“I thought you wanted to kidnap , why are you giving me this opportunity?” Vincent asked

“Your dream is to go to Kingston Emerald University and here are full time 100% scholarships for you. I hope you know that it will take you more than 5 million dollars to afford a prestigious university like this, “ the lady said with a sly smile.

“Yes , it’s all written in the documents but I want to know what you want from me “ Vincent said smartly

“Your silence , if you promise that you will not say anything about the accident that killed that young girl then this scholarship will be yours but you will either die or rot in prison the moment you open your mouth and tell a soil about this…” she said with all seriousness

“Think about it and sign the documents if you agree . Your girlfriend called you poor and educated, this is the right time for you to go to a prestigious university and change your life around “ she convinced Vincent.

“But it’s so wrong , the girl should get Justice …” Vincent said but the lady cut him off.

“Either sign the deal or face the consequences Vincent Hugo” she said with authority and seriousness.
