In a far-off place, the mysterious figure stood in front of a collection of photographs, his gaze fixed on them. A wicked grin spread across his face as he said to himself, "If they want to destroy him so badly, I guess I should lend them a hand."

A man approached the mysterious figure and stood in front of him with a respectful demeanor. "Boss, should I get in touch with them?" he asked.

"Yes, of course," the man said, his voice filled with determination. "The more, the better. Jerome is a tough opponent, and we need to act quickly before he gathers more resources. We need to hit him hard and fast before he has a chance to recover."

"Alright, boss," the man said, ready to leave and carry out his orders. But as he turned to go, the mysterious figure called out to him again.

"And what about Mia?" the mysterious figure asked, his voice suddenly cold and calculating. "Do you have any news on her?"

The tone of the man's voice shifted, from deferential to icy in an instant. It was clear th

    James made arrangements to meet this anonymous person who was ready to help out of nowhere. As he got into his car and made his way out, a lot flooded his head. "Should I call Annika and tell her about this person?" James murmured to himself. He took his phone, ready to call her, but stopped on second thought. "Let me find out who he is first, then I can bring her into it," he concluded, putting his phone away and concentrating on the road. Meanwhile, Annika had also made plans to meet this stranger. Unlike James, Annika never considered adding him to her plans. "Why should I involve that old fool? Besides, he will drag the CEO position with me when everything is over. I already have plans to get rid of him when I'm done with Jerome," Annika said with an evil smirk, adding more speed to her normal driving, screaming with excitement like a crazy woman. It seemed wild imagination had already gotten into her head.VB ClubJames could be seen sitting restlessly in a dark corner, waiting p

    Rosca was resting on her couch, watching a movie on her huge flat-screen television. For the past few days, this is all she has been doing ever since she woke up: resting the whole day and catching fun with Eleanor. Just as expected, Eleanor was in the kitchen trying to fix something for them to eat since it was already afternoon. For these past few days, the two friends had been spending quality time together. Surprisingly, Jerome allowed this because he knew the two ladies deserved some time alone to catch up, not without security though. The little noise from inside the house did not cease to attract the attention of these able-bodied men. The girls had fun and chilled until, of course, like every day, they heard a knock on the door. Rosca would always roll her eyes when the knock came in, while Eleanor, on the other hand, chuckled at the sudden change of mood. As expected, Eleanor would greet and, behold, the almighty Bright was the expected person she would always meet."Good da

    Jerome sat in his chair, his fingers massaging his forehead. He had been overworking himself lately, trying to clear his head. Deep down, he felt a sense of impending danger looming over his family, himself in particular, but he couldn't quite pinpoint what it was. All he could do was to keep increasing his security measures.His solitary moment was interrupted when Bright entered his office, studying him as he approached the desk. Bright could tell that Jerome was truly disturbed, but he hesitated to ask what was wrong."Boss!" Bright called out, but it seemed Jerome was lost in his thoughts."Boss," Bright moved closer and tapped him gently on his shoulder, jolting him out of his thoughts."Bright?" Jerome came back to his senses and called out to him."Good day, Boss. You sent for me," Bright said, hesitant to ask the question he had in mind."Yes, I'll be meeting with a company concerning our business deal. Since Eleanor isn't returning to work anytime soon, I need you to come wit

    Rosca and Eleanor was still having a good time in Rosca's house when Eleanor felt a strange sensation in her, it felt as if something bad just happened.She picked up her phone to check for any message or call from Jerome but there was none. She grew worried and called him but his number was not going through."What is wrong Eleanor? Your mood suddenly changed," Rosca asked when she noticed her friend's change of mood."Something is just not right, I can feel it in me and it has been almost an hour since Bright left but Jerome has not called me and that is so unlike him. I just pray everything is alright," Eleanor complained"You think too much bestie. I am sure he is in the middle of a meeting or something, he get back to you when he has time. We were all here when he called Bright for work remember, so just chill ," Rosca assured her"His line is not going through at all that is what makes me worried.

    It is evening now and yet the doctors are yet to come out,"What is happening in there? Are they trying to give me a heart attack or what?" The old master yelled impatiently, he was acting all strong before his family but deep inside him, he was scared to death. "Grandpa, why don't you take Grandma home to have some rest? I will give you a call when the doctors come out," Annika said, trying to convince the old master"I am not going anywhere till my grandson wakes up," the old lady muttered weaklyThe intense crying seems to have taken a toll on her, her system is slowly shutting down"Come on mother, do not be stubborn. Would you rather have your grandson meet his grandma sick because of him? You know Jerome will not like that," Cornelius, Jerome's second uncle said.He has been quiet all this while observing the situation. He just could not place what at all was happening to their family, ever since Jerome came into the family. The young man looks harmless, though he can be a dev

He took long strides into the basement, his men did not stop bowing at him as he walked passed them.The butler felt his presence and acknowledged him"Where is he?" The old master muttered coldly"He is in the torture room," the butler replied quicklyThe old master walked briskly to the torture room and barged in, the sight he met gave way to a murderous grin to plaster his face.The old master stretched his hand and took a gun from the butler, walking to his prey immediately. He turned on the lights, and the man came into view.His face is almost unrecognizable as a result of the beatings he received from the guards.They thrashed him mad after capturing him according to the old master's order.He was tied to a metal pole, and he couldn't even move his neck to look up. He's as good as dead.The old master's neck veins were revealed when he remembered how bloody Jerome looked.How his wife

    James kept pacing around in his room while Annika just sat on his bed feeling relaxed.Jerome has passed one night in the hospital already and yet they seem not to find a way to end him. Of course just as expected the old master did not fail in getting a military enforcement to guide both his ward and the whole hospital as well with the help of Steve.Steve was not in town when the unmentionable happened but he had to rush down to the hospital together with Gaius when they heard it. Currently, the only people allowed in the ward are Bright, Eleanor, the old master, Mrs Cadell, Gaius, and of course Steve. They gave that kind of instruction for the sake of his safety. This is making it difficult for James and Annika to execute their plan. The bottle they were given by the mysterious man is still in their custody but how do they inject it when all these hefty men are standing in front of the ward?James tried going in this morning but he was blocked and denied entry...........a few ho

Somehow the injection got him drowsy and not long after he fell off to sleep, making Steve frown."What did you do to him ?" Steve demanded."I just gave him his afternoon medication, it will help him to relax more so that his wounds will heal faster," the nurse explained, she picked up her tray and began walking to the door but Steve stopped her with another question."Who are you?" he questioned.The nurse sighed when Steve began to ask too many questions but she answered anyway because she knew it was for the safety of the young Master of the Cadell's family."My name is Grace, I am the nurse who has been assigned to take care of the young master during his stay here," the nurse answered."Are you the only one who is suppo

The police have been working non-stop to find any traces of Jerome, but so far, there's been no progress.In the Cadell's mansion that evening, Steve and Gaius were present, visiting frequently. The old master, however, was visibly distressed, sighing every few seconds out of worry and fear."Is there anywhere else you think he might be?" the old master asked Steve and Gaius."No," Daniel replied."Sir," a guard interrupted, entering the room."The cops are here," the guard reported.Sitting on the balcony upstairs, they watched as four cops entered, and the old master stood up expectantly."Any news?" he asked."We found this... by the bridge," one of the cops said, handing over a piece of note to the old master."What is this?" the old master asked, his hands shaking."It's a supposed suicide note written by your

    Steve stayed back with Gaius and his family, as well as Jasmine. Jasmine has been crying nonstop, Steve tried consoling her it seems too difficult. Gaius watched his friend suffer and feel uneasy trying to calm Jasmine down."Fuck this is frustrating!! Why does she cry too much? Does she have an ocean under her eyes?" Steve mumbled under his breath with a frown.Gaius helped him out by putting Jasmine's head on his shoulder and taking Steve's hand to stroke her hair gently. She came down shortly and Steve smiled, not long after sleep took over her and Steve positioned her well on the couch, allowing her head to sleep on his lap as he continued stroking her hair.Her beautiful face caught him and Steve began staring at her full eyebrows, nice nose, and such lovely lips too. He didn't know what was going on but his heartbeat is racing abnormally right now.Jerome had called the guys earlier and told them he would spend the night in the hospital with Eleanor since she had been attended t

She prayed a silent prayer thanking God for giving her a second chance.They are currently in Jerome's car on their way to see her. Jerome's phone rang and Eleanor had to pick it up for him since he was driving.She put it on loudspeaker so that he could hear “Man. You guys are going to keep me here till night falls right?" Gauis fumed over the phone" What are you talking about? " Jerome asked innocently."Don't tell me you forgot?" Gaius said."What day is today? I don't remember today being any special or am I missing out on something?" Jerome asked clueless.“What hell with you Jerome!!! We were supposed to go and pick up my family today, can't believe you forgot," Gaius said, annoyed already."Shoot!!! I'm so sorry man. Take the lead I will join you soon I promise.

    "All eyes fell on James, somehow they were happy he was here because he was the only one who could handle Stanley's madness.""Have you gone nuts? Do you want to kill your grandpa, someone who cared for you as an infant even though he has never liked existence? He did his best by giving you capital to start a new life. You wasted the money and showed your stupid face here like the burden you are, and now you want to kill him? I swear to anything you hold sacred, if you do not put that gun down, I promise you will regret it, little boy," James barked at him.In a normal circumstance, Stanley would have thrown the gun away as soon as James scolded him, but this time around, he had a smirk plastered on his face. He started laughing maniacally, showcasing his madness."You fool, do you think the little stunts you pull still affect me? Grow up, man. Those empty threats of yours don't affect me anymore. I will advise you to clear my way, or do you want to die in his place?" Stanley glared a

    "How did all this happen right under my nose without my notice?" the old master said with shock."You have a good mindset, Grandpa, but it doesn't mean everybody's like you. James chose to take the part of envy. You did not choose for him, so do not blame yourself. As for Annika, she is just a green snake in the grass," Steve said, trying to calm the old man down."I knew that Annika's silence was a threat, but I never expected her to join forces with James. Nevertheless, I'm not surprised. I expected one thing or another from her," Jerome said without concern."Steve, can you tell me exactly how you managed to get them together?" the old man asked."Before grandma left this morning, I was with her in the house when James and Annika came down together, ready for work. I got suspicious, so I asked Grandma when the both of them became that close... She replied that it started not long ago, but from her speech, I could sense she was happy at the new bonding. I don't know why, but somehow

    Steve went straight to Cadell's company, needing to see Jerome immediately. He had been avoiding the fight that had arisen between himself and Jerome, but he was lucky enough Eleanor had talked to Jerome on his behalf, so they were fine now."Is your boss in?" Steve asked as he chanced upon Bright, who was just coming out of the elevator."Yes, he is in. Should I inform him about your arrival? He is currently in a meeting with the company board," Bright answered."Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait for him in his office," Steve smiled.Bright escorted him to Jerome's office, offered him a glass of water, and excused himself to continue his work.James came in with Anika, rushing to the meeting room, which ended abruptly at their arrival. All the board members stared at them with disdain."Why are you just coming, Mr. James, and Miss Anika?" One of them asked with a frown."Had to take care of some personal stuff," James answered simply."What about you, Anika?" Another person

She always has a new story to tell of her youthful days.Eleanor and Jerome had left early that morning because they had work."I do not see you busy of late," the old lady asked curiously."I took a break from work; my second-in-command is taking care of everything perfectly. He contacts me anytime he has difficulties," Steve explained."Okay, I was just wondering because the Steve I know is a busy person who has no time to spare," the old lady chuckled.There was silence in the room till the old lady spoke again."Why don't you use this opportunity and find yourself a lady who will take care of you? I know everyone has been urging you to get married, and you find it irritating, but let me give you a clue on what a partner in your life can do for you. She is going to be

    Jerome and Eleanor were still in Jerome's grandparents' house when a call came to Jerome's phone. He excused himself to take it; it was a call from the doctor who is taking care of Jasmine."Why are you calling me at this hour? Do you need anything?" Jerome asked."I have good news for you instead, the lady you asked me to be taking care of is awake," the doctor broke the news."Finally, I can rest. It took her long enough," Jerome breathed out."What should we do about her, Boss?" The doctor asked."We will come visit her tomorrow; it is already late," Jerome concluded."Allow her to be in the hospital for now; I will be sending someone over to bring anything she will need. Keep her for now till I come for her myself," Jerome instructed.The call ended, and he joined his family."What took you so long?" Eleanor pouted."Just business," he answered."Where are my grandparents?" Jerome asked."They said they had to go get some sleep, and also your grandfather said we should stay for the

    There was silence between the old man and his grandson, none of them was ready to talk. The old master was expecting his grandson to say something but the bitterness down his throat is preventing him from saying anything."Did you call me to sit here and watch you or you're going to say something," the old Master started to break the silence in the room."Why did you do that?" Jerome said simply."Can you talk in simple words? What do you mean by what you just said?" the old master replied."Why did you take such a decision and ask my friend to keep it away from me? It is not just anything this issue here, is something that involves my life. You should have at least told me about it if not for anything for the bond we share. Not for once have I taken any decision without telling you about it because I thought you were my everything and we have that kind of bond but then you proved me wrong," Jerome spoke bitterly."Why would you think that of me?
