Kelvin sat down on a wooden chair, his hands and legs bound with a strong rope. Blood oozed out of his mouth, as he faced the ground, trying to catch his breath.Duncan and Johnny had beaten him mercilessly, while the two policemen in the room just watched, till he fainted. They left him to wake up from slumber, before they would continue. When Kelvin woke up, he was bleeding from every angle of his body. He darted his eyes around, praying no one would notice he had woken up. But unfortunately, one of the policemen saw him and announced it to the others.Kelvin gasped in fear, seeing Duncan marching towards him. Duncan wouldn't stop trying to get Kelvin to admit that he stole the Strongbox.Once Kelvin has accepted, he would cast him to jail, and make sure he never sees the sunlight in the outside world again. But Kelvin had proved to be stubborn. "You're awake now boy. Let's talk, before you undergo more series of punishment," Duncan said, staring mockingly at Kelvin. Kelvin star
Sudden silence engulfed the room. Kelvin gazed at the crowd standing before him with satisfaction in his eyes. He let out a low smile, and frowned his face, feeling like the boss.Duncan couldn't take his gaze away from Kelvin. "Who the fuck is he? Is he that influential?" Duncan kept questioning himself in his thoughts, wearing a confused expression on him.He darted his eyes around and caught Pamela's gaze fixated on him. He quickly shifted his eyes to his father, who stared at him in disgust."Somebody get this fucking ropes off me!…" Kelvin commanded. The policemen plodded towards him with trembling legs. They quickly untied him, and gave his space. Kelvin stood up and raised his shoulders, feeling like the boss. He collected a handkerchief from one of the men, and wiped the stains of blood on his lips. The whole crowd had their gaze fixated on him, but he ignored everybody's eye.When he was done cleaning up, he raised his head and smirked at Duncan and Johnny, who stood with f
5 hours later, Kelvin was lying on his hospital bed alone. Everybody had gone, including Pamela. He fixated his gaze on the roof, reminiscing about things he had missed since he eloped with Katherine. Immediately, a knock came on the door, and Katherine entered. She wore a gloomy countenance as she stepped into the room. Her gaze was on Kelvin, she stared at him sorrowfully, due to his condition. She never expected Johnny to associate with such a plan of Duncan's, so she didn't care to plead on his behalf."Hey Kelv," she greeted, but he gave her a clumsy look, and returned his gaze to the ceiling like she wasn't there. She sighed and sat on the chair close to his bed. Her gaze traveled from his head to toe, assessing the wounds her brother, and her lover inflicted on him. "How're you feeling now?" She asked in a soft tone, she blamed herself for everything that had happened. All this is happening because of the one choice she made. A glimpse of what happened back at the police q
Katherine got home paranoid and confused. Kelvin's change of status was a huge blow, and she was struggling to accept the new development. She sat on the sofa, trying to wrap the whole situation in her head, "who exactly is he? What if he is the new Chairman Pamela spoke of? She questioned herself, like someone was out there who could hear her.Her heart began to race, if Kelvin eventually became the chairman, her job as the manager of the Fubris Company wasn't safe. She gasped softly, trying to calm herself. A sharp pain struck her head, and she cried out in pain. Over the past few days, she had been overthinking and overworking as well, just to impress Pamela, and now Kelvin's arrival in the company was looking genuine. How will she look him in the eye every day she goes to work?She laid down on the sofa to rest a little and free her mind from worries. But a call from Pamela woke her up immediately, bad timing it is. She sighed on seeing the caller. She dropped the phone back on
It was 9 p.m., in Boston, the Capital city of Euphoria. Kelvin and Pamela had got to the family house a few hours ago. The house was deserted, except for the presence of security men and servants.Kelvin was sitting in the sitting room, waiting patiently for the arrival of his big family. Pamela joined him shortly, and just in time, horns from different cars sounded from outside.They both smiled at each other, the house was about to book again. There was never a boring time in the Woodluck family home, not when Kelvin was present. But now that he had returned, a lot had changed."Where is he? Where is my son?" A deep masculine voice roared happily, his excitement could be heard in his voice as he spoke. Kelvin stood up from his seat with a smile on his face. It was Gregory, his father. He sauntered towards his father, and they fell into a warm embrace. "My boy!" His father said, patting his back, so much joy in his heart. After 3 years, he was seeing his son again. Then came a crowd
3 days had gone by, and it was finally time for the first board meeting, since Kelvin and Pamela took over the company. They had left the Capital and returned to Vancouzer a day earlier, to solidify their attendance at the meeting.It was snowing heavily that morning, as Kelvin sauntered towards his Lamborghini AVENTADOR SVJ, packed right outside the hotel where he lodged. He had sent back every security guard his family sent to look after him. One thing he hated was to appear rich and powerful amongst people.He loved and admired his ordinary life, he could go anywhere he wanted, at any time. As he got to his car, he waited for Pamela to join him. She came down afterwards, with two hefty security men following her behind. On seeing her and the security men, Kelvin sighed. He shook his head and crossed his hands together."Is that necessary?" He asked, but she ignored his question, with a smile on her face. Pamela liked to be respected and feared, especially when she was new to a pe
The sun was at its peak in the sky, but its heat had been shielded by the winter weather. Kelvin had landed in Boston a few minutes ago. He drove speedily to the Better Life hospital and ran into the hospital impatiently.All eyes fell on him as he sauntered past the nurses and patients awaiting one thing or the other. One of the nurses was coming down his path, on seeing him, she knew he was a Woodluck. Her jaws dropped, as she waved at him in amazement. "Good morning sir," a large number of the nurses greeted in unison, but Kelvin was not hearing them. He walked briskly, without minding what they were talking about. Back in his office in Vancouzer, he had received a call from Uncle Theo, saying his grandpa had collapsed, and was on life support now. He left Pamela to handle the company and rushed down to the hospital immediately. When he got to his Grandpa's ward, he stopped at the entrance door, on seeing his Mom sitting beside his bed. Her eyes were red and filled with despair.
It was raining heavily on a Sunday evening. Pamela and Kelvin had purchased two mansions in Vancouzer separately, for their comfort.Frank visited Vancouzer, he couldn't meet up with Kelvin in Boston, and he needed to see his best friend, even though he came mainly because of Pamela.That evening, he and Pamela had gone out for a walk. Pamela was sitting in the bar, her face sad and moody. No matter how Frank tried to cheer her up, she couldn't forget the fact that her Grandpa may not wake again."Hey," Frank whispered, as he returned to her with two glasses of strong alcohol. He thought maybe it would help ease her mind, but she wasn't drawn to his mischievous smiling face."You can't beat yourself up Pamela, come on, granny ain't even dead yet. You just have to believe that he'll get better, no matter how long it takes." He said to her, She looked at him and sighed. Some of her hair fell across her face, and he stretched out his hands and tucked them behind her ears. Their eyes met
