2024-12-06 15:05:27Clyde couldn't believe Clarissa dumped him for an ugly cow. The problem wasn't him not being lovable or caring or not doing his best.. no, the problem was Clarissa had already been cheating on him because she simply was just a materialistic woman who saw nothing but money.
Clyde couldn't believe this! He now knew exactly why Clarissa suddenly asked for a divorce; Clarissa was cheating on him, and when Seth couldn't bear to keep it a secret anymore, Clarissa then demanded for a divorce.. it all made sense now! He had been cuckolded without even knowing. When did it start? How long have they been having sex behind his back? Three months? Four months? Anger and hatred welled up in his heart for these two in front of him. Clyde looked at Clarissa's smiling face as she blushed and held Seth's arm as if it was a bag full of trium.. perhaps it was. His mind immediately flashed back once again to what the middle-aged man had said. “I once had a wife who didn't see me as a nice fit for her. She had come from a nice family and I was of a humble background. We got married due to the love we had for one another…But two years later, she demanded for a divorce, guess what? She had found someone else. Women who suddenly find faults in you and request for separation have one thing in common; they have found someone else and seek to ditch their former lover.” Clyde turned back to the very two people he now hated most in the world. They were acting all lovey dovey as if he didn't exist! Clyde had to use all his willpower to force himself to calm down. Perhaps it was better this way. He couldn't imagine how things would have been if she had agreed to stay back, perhaps she would continue to display that fake affection of hers and squander his wealth on useless things that would add no value whatsoever to their lives. As he stared at Clarissa, he couldn't help but wonder; 'How low had Clarissa fallen? How cheap was she!? And he had been married to her! Prepared so many expensive gifts and even bought a Cybertruck for tomorrow's wedding anniversary!' “Yo! Dog shit! My love and I are going out, yet you are still here! Don't have you work at the office!” Seth shouted at Clyde in hope to belittle and provoke him. He had been watching Clyde moping at them, he had seen his expression turn from shock to rage, then from rage to utter disgust. He didn't like the vibe he was getting from Clyde, so he opted to teach him a lesson right here. “Go to the company and clean my office! I will be returning after enjoying my darling!” Seth spoke again in a loud voice, hoping to get an embarrassed reaction from Clyde, but Clyde didn't even spare them a glance. In fact, if one could ask him how he felt at that moment, he would say he felt disgusted by those two. He was actually married to a cheat and worse, he was about to share his wealth and secret identity with her. Seth might think he was great because his father owned the Omega Lorenzo Royalty company, but in truth, Clyde could actually shut down the entire OLR company and render both father and son jobless and homeless with just a single phone call.. and honestly he was tempted to do just that. He even thought about secretly eliminating Seth in an inhumane manner. But thinking about the tens of workers in that building who would also be jobless and suffer, he tossed that thought out of his mind. He rather turned to face Clarissa. “I'm truly surprised with your choice of man Clarissa. I was thinking you'd have gotten a 'tall' and 'handsome' richer man, but it never crossed my mind that you would rather choose to settle for an ugly mountain goat with the physique of a fifth grader.” Clyde spoke with utmost disgust. He was seething with rage and it was evident in his tone and face. Clarissa was ashamed of the fact she left Clyde for someone who was not just slightly rich, but also extremely ugly and short.. If Clyde wasn't her type of man, then what about Seth? But in order to avert the shame and embarrassment, she began to speak in a slightly loud voice to boost her own confidence that she made the right choice. “Don't say that about Seth! While you could not even afford to take me to a decent restaurant, Seth took me to a five-star hotel.” She yelled. “A hotel even when we were married?.. To do what?” Clyde asked. That alone was enough evidence to show who he had settled with. “Shut your mouth! …He is extremely generous and helpful, and I can't even say the same for you. Don't you stand there to patronize Seth darling here, you should first look yourself over before making such a statement!” she kept shouting. For Clyde, he only smiled and shook his head gently. He knew he was about to give her the biggest shock of her life soon. “You know what I think Clyde? I think, no, I believe that even in the next fifty years you'd never be able to achieve what Seth has achieved. You are not even qualified to step into his shoes. You can't even hold a candle to him. It was truly wise of me to leave your wretchedness and choose Seth!” Seth, who had been annoyed at first at the statement Clyde made, now had a smug look on his face as he listened to all the hurtful words Clarissa said to Clyde. “Come my love, let's leave him be.” Seth said to Clarissa with a smile on his face. Both of them entered the car, and while turning on the ignition, he kept his eyes on Clyde as he stared at him with the same smugness on his face. BAM! A collision occurred. Seth's BMW X7 had just collided with a Cyber Truck limo that was on its legal track. It turns out that Seth hadn't been watching the way he was driving as he had kept his eyes glued on Clyde and was still smiling at Clyde. Now he had bumped into a car several times more costly than his, and worse of all, the question lingered. “Who was at fault? And what would it escalate into?”

Seth and Clarissa came out of the car, irritated and ready to have a fierce quarrel with the Cybertruck driver.. Seth had a reason for this; he knew that if he pleaded, he might get off with a fine, but he didn't have the funds to pay a heavy amount of such fine.. this was a Cybertruck limo for crying out loud.Unknowingly, the driver of the Cybertruck limo was actually the Personal Assistant and Adjutant of Clyde.

Clyde took a cab to the Omega Lorenzo Royalty company building. He knew what he had to do, but how to do it and get the best result was what he contemplated on.'I think I should call Danielle, she will give me the best idea there is.' he thought as he took out his phone and dialed a number.“Sir, do you need for anything?” Danielle's voice rang forth.“Yes. I want take over the Omega Lorenzo Royalty company. Make it happen. Also replace Seth's father with one of our trusted person.” Clyde spoke in a serious authoritative tone.“Hohohoho!” Danielle chuckled“The young master is out for revenge. I love it. I will get it done in just an hour.” Danielle replied.“Good, I will be waiting for your call in an hour then.” Clyde said and disconnected the call. He then walked over to the cafe nearby for a cup of coffee while he waits for Danielle's call.He was in the cafe when he saw Seth's BMW pull up at the front parking lot. Then he saw Clarissa and Seth holding hands lovingly and walked r

“What young master!?” Seth questioned manager Howard.“How can you call this lowly slum dweller 'young master'? Don't be deceived by this conman. He's nothing but a poor and wretched slum dweller.” Seth's frustration was already piled up.“Are saying I don't know who my Boss is?” Mister Howard questioned with a frown on his face. He was clearly angry at Seth's rambling, but this only excited Clyde more.'The higher they are, the bigger they fall.'Clyde felt someone staring at him, he turned around and saw Clarissa's eyes on him. She had this thoughtful expression on her face as if she was finally comprehending all that was happening.“Your Boss!? What Boss!? Let me elaborate these to you Mister Howard! That man sitting there is the full definition of poverty. If he was rich enough to buy this building, then he won't be living in that shack at the slums!” Seth then turned to Clarissa.“If he was so rich, it won't be easy for me to get under the pant of his wife! He's so poor that hi

BADOOM!It felt as if an atomic had been dropped on Seth. He certainly could not believe what he was hearing; did the slum dweller just told him to clear out his office or else he would call security? No, he must have misheard. There's no way that the low sonofabitch who used to work as cleaner will suddenly become the Boss.'And where the hell is Dad!?' Seth could not help but panic. Just then the door opened and Seth's father stepped in.Mister Mandeep was average in height and bald, he was just a little above fifty but now he looked like he's aged eighty.“Dad! Right on time. This trash here says he now owns the company and he even had the guts to ask me to clear out my office in five minutes else he would call security to throw me out.” Seth laid out his complain but his father didn't even once glance at him. Mister Mandeep's attention was on the plain clothed handsome man who could pass out as any street bum, but he knew better. This man in front of him was Clyde Darkfang, heir t

Seth stood there, holding the phone to his ear, his mind struggling to process what had just happened. The words from the bank manager seemed like a bad joke: his accounts, his entire wealth, were frozen indefinitely. There was no way this was real.“What the hell is this!?” Seth yelled at the now silent phone, his voice trembling with disbelief. His grip tightened, as if the pressure could somehow reverse the bank’s decision. His heart raced, and he could feel the anger and panic rising like a tidal wave.He glanced at his father, expecting some kind of support, but Mister Mandeep’s face was ashen. The old man was staring at the floor, wringing his hands as if trying to wish away the nightmare unfolding around them.“Dad! Tell them to fix this! Tell them that this is a mistake!” Seth’s voice cracked as he turned to Mister Mandeep. But his father remained silent, too terrified to utter a word.In the silence that followed, Clyde’s calm voice cut through the tension.“Everything you’ve

CheckmateSeth furiously stared at Clyde, anger smoke oozing from his ears and nose. If stares could kill, his was definitely throwing daggers at Clyde. “How dare you!!” He roared and opted to get physical with him. The security men around held him down immediately. He struggled to be set free but they held him in strong bonds, he only managed to throw fists in the air. “How dare you lock up all my accounts and funds! Who do you think you are, huh? You wreck!You'll pay for this! Mark my words!” He threatened, pointing fingers at him.“Take him out of my company. I don't need a psycho in my business premises.” Clyde said nonchalantly_ obviously he wasn't bothered by any of these at all.“You heard the Boss! Get this filth out of here!” Mr. Howard yelled at the security guards when he noticed their sluggishness. They quickly picked Seth up in the air and carried him out of the company.“This isn't over Clyde! You hear! This isn't over!! I'll deal with you! You haven't seen the last of m

Who would have thought Clyde was a billionaire?“Clarissa?” Rachael called but heard no response. She was in the kitchen making dinner. She heard someone enter the house, she thought it was Clarissa and so she waited for her to talk or call out her name as she was fond of but instead, it was a long gravy silence that ensued. She called out her name again, yet no response.. she decided to find out who it was with her special weapon, the frying pan.“Oh! it's just you.” She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her. “Why didn't you answer me?” She fumed.“Clarissa_?” She called, stunned at Clarissa's awful appearance and calm demeanor, she lowered her weapon and approached her.“Don't!_” Clarissa warned. “Stay away f

Is he Jealous?Back at the hotel, Danielle paced the room. Clyde’s abrupt departure left her uneasy, and the news report on the tv hadn’t helped. She couldn’t shake the image of Clarissa’s bloody, broken body from her mind.She felt a pang of guilt and pain. She felt it was all her fault. For shutting the door at her without letting her get to speak to Clyde. Maybe that would've changed everything.The sound of the door creaking open made her spin around. Clyde stood there, his face unreadable.“Young Master,” she said, her voice a mix of relief and worry. “What’s going on? You left like the city was on fire.”He stepped inside, his movements deliberate. “It’s complicated,” he muttered, brushing past her.Danielle grabbed his arm, forcing him to stop. “Don’t give me that. Tell me the truth. What's going on?”Clyde sighed, running a hand through his hair. For a moment, he softened and she saw the storm raging inside him. “Clarissa’s in the hospital,” he admitted. “Someone ran her off t

He took heavy, mechanical strides towards the Tv, his pulse pounded like a war drum in his ears, his mind confused. He snatched the remote from the table and pressed the power button, channel after channel he kept searching, blurred past them until he tuned to the local tv station, he froze.The screen showed Clarissa’s body being carried from the mangled wreck of an accident site on a stretcher and into an ambulance van.Security men scattered around the venue as they kept tags on the scene—exhibits and evidence. Rolling the usual caution tape over the part the accident took place.Her limbs were soaked in blood, she looked more like a broken doll than a living person.

The building seemed endless, its reflective windows catching the glow of the late afternoon sun, and freshly installed flowerbeds added a vibrant touch to its modern aesthetic. She glanced at her phone, double-checking the address Rachael had sent her. It was the right place.The hotel was breathtaking. Memories flooded her mind—her first and only visit to a five-star hotel years ago with her father, back when he was still a man of importance. If Clyde was here now, it only confirmed what she’d heard—he had wealth beyond imagination.Taking a deep breath, she smoothed her dress and clicked her stiletto heels against the paved path leading to the entrance.*A man watching keenly from the comfort of his car stared at Clarissa. He picked up his phone and placed a call.“Target sighted. What should I do?” He said.“Make it swift and quick. Make it natural.. no suspicions.” The voice at the other end instructed.“Okay boss.” H

A mere assistantOutside the palace_The night air was crisp, carrying the faint scent of jasmine from the palace gardens. The tension between them was almost tangible as Clyde tossed the sleek leather luggage into the boot of the newly released, limited-edition Mercedes. Only four of its kind existed in the entire world, and he was privileged to own one.Danielle stood nearby, leaning casually against the car. A book was in her hands, her glasses perched delicately on her nose, giving her an air of quiet brilliance.She looked every bit the intellectual, lost in her own world, but Clyde couldn't take his eyes off her. A smile tugged at his lips, unbidden, as admiration coursed through him."All set. Let's go," he said, stepping closer, his voice low and warm.She raised her head from the book, her expression calm but unreadable. "Sure," she replied, moving to open the car door. But his hand shot out, stopping her."Uh…" He hesitated, his usual confidence faltering. "Are we still goin

The world belongs to the strongIn the dimly lit VIP room of his favorite club, Seth sat ensconced in luxury.He leaned back on the plush leather couch, surrounded by women laughing at his every word.His expensive whiskey glistened in the dim light as he reveled in their attention. His hands wandered freely, eliciting giggles, and his laughter boomed across the room, a testament to his dominance and indulgence.The mood shifted abruptly when the doors bursted open. Four men in black stormed in, their faces concealed by menacing masks. Their mere presence sent the women screaming and scrambling for the exits, their high heels clacking against the floor in desperation.Seth froze, his smirk fading. His sharp eyes caught the fifth figure entering the room—a mountain of a man, towering and broad-shouldered. Dark hair spilled over his hoodie, which hung like a cape, casting an ominous shadow over his face.As soon as he crossed the threshold, the man lunged forward, gripping Seth by the t

He stiffened for a moment, then melted into her embrace, his arms wrapping around her as if holding onto something precious.The two of them stood there, the weight of their shared grief pressing down on them in the shadow of their mother’s grave. The world around them seemed to disappear as they held each other, the silence broken only by the quiet rustle of the wind.“I wish she could see us now,” Robin murmured, his voice thick with emotion. “See what we’ve become.”Danielle closed her eyes, letting the tears fall freely. “She would be proud. Of both of us.”Robin pulled back slightly, his eyes searching hers, his face a mixture of sorrow and longing. “You think so?”“I know so,” Danielle said firmly, her voice steady despite the storm raging inside her. She managed a small smile, brushing a stray strand of hair from his face. “You’re eve

A determined HeartThe first day was grueling. The recruits were subjected to endless drills—running, climbing, sparring, and endurance tests. By the end of it, Danielle’s muscles burned, her hands were blistered, and her vision swam with exhaustion.“Still standing?” Lythos asked as she staggered to the line where the others stood.“Yes, sir,” Danielle gasped, barely able to catch her breath.“Good. Tomorrow will be harder.”The boys didn’t make it any easier. They teased her relentlessly, sabotaging her equipment and tripping her during drills. But Danielle didn’t retaliate. She focused on her training, pushing herself harder with every challenge.The turning point came during a sparring match. The trainees were paired off to practice combat techniques, and Danielle was matched against Garrick, a towering boy with a cocky grin.“This’ll be quick,” Garrick said, brandishing his wooden sword.Danielle said nothing, gripping her weapon tightly.The match began, and Garrick came at her

A skinny, bookish man, but a man nonetheless.”Robin adjusted his glasses, a sheepish smile on his face. “I’ll take that as a compliment.”Danielle’s gaze softened. “It is. I’m proud of you. You’ve always been destined for great things, and I can see you’re well on your way.”He blushed but tried to contain it.She held his hands, her eyes scanning his face. “How has it been over there?”Robin adjusted his glasses, a nervous smile tugging at his lips. “Busy with studies, mostly. But I brought something for you.” He rummaged through his coat pocket, his movements precise and deliberate.Danielle watched him with quiet admiration. Her little brother was now a man, though his slender frame, pale complexion, and tired eyes told her he had likely been pushing himself too hard.From his pocket, Robin produced a small objec

Yet, as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows over the palace grounds, his thoughts returned to Marula.The insurgents remained a looming threat. Though his cover had been blown, Clyde vowed to continue the fight against them, working from the shadows.For now, the road back to Marula awaited—a path paved with danger, uncertainty, and the weight of unfinished business.*Danielle had one wish before leaving for Marula with Clyde: to visit her mother’s grave.As she made her way to the graveyard, the air grew colder, and the wind carried the faint rustle of leaves. The moon bathed the path in silver light, lending an eerie tranquility to the night.Approaching the grave site, Danielle froze. A dark, frail silhouette knelt before the cremated tombstone. The figure was wrapped in a long coat, holding a bouquet of freshly cut roses. He sniffled
