Turning around, Alex caught sight of a woman. He frowned, he knew this woman from somewhere but couldn't place his finger on it. Her dark purple lips stuck, where did he know this woman from again? He kept thinking but it seemed to have slipped off his mind. So much for being unimportant. He turned away from them and continued speaking with the sales girl when he heard again, forcing him to turn around the second time. “Hey, you!” Beside her, was a man who had a scowl on his face. He looked like Alex had once stepped on his tail and he was here for revenge. Alex stood still wondering what he had done to the man. He can't recall causing trouble to this man. The man and the woman began to walk towards him while the sales girls watched, including the girl who was attending to Alex. They wondered what was about to happen, they wanted to watch the drama because they could see how the woman and the man were talking toward them in anger. “You! How dare you cause my baby trouble!” the ma
Alex suddenly raised his brows like he had just realized something. He turned back to the man, looking at him with contempt and then chuckled.“Why would I even do that?” Alex asked, still raising his brows. His sudden question shocked the man. He looked surprised to see someone question his command.“Beca—-”“I don’t need your flirty reason and besides this old hag here should be blamed for whatever happened between us. It had nothing to do with me” he replied and proceeded to walk out when the young man yelled.“Don’t you dare! You would kowtow to my woman this instinct with no further argument” he yelled. Alex sighed and turned back to the man.“You keep saying impossible things and I’m starting to think you might just be looking for trouble or someone to upset and I would say you have picked the wrong guy cause I don’t have time to entertain your nuisance and drama. Take your…..baby and fuck off!” Alex replied and this time he sounded more serious than ever. He looked tired and ju
Alex looked at the men again and shook his head, pitying them for having a foolish boss. He heard an hysterical laughter and looked up to the see the young man laughing arrogantly. The lad was happy to have had Alex stuck in a tight corner and helpless.He has definitely not heard about Alex amazing martial skills.“Apologize Now! And they would back off” he yelled, giving Alex a last chance to save himself before the brutal beating. Alex ignored him as he was getting tired of his wit and just focused of the men before him.“So who among you is going first?” Alex asked the men. The young lad got angry that Alex would dare ignore him.“Beat him up!” he yelled. The men rushed at Alex and he sighed. Punches and scream filled the quiet store, it went on like that for a while and when the noises eventually died down. Everyone had a shocked look on their faces. “H…..ho….how did you do that?” the lad asked, trembling in fear and shock.Alex scoffed.“You should learn not to really judge a b
“Ugh! That bastard really stressed me today” Alex sighed as he finally got home. He was too tired to drive so he took the bus instead and got more weird and harsh remarks. He blamed the young lad at the store for making him drain all his strength on those scumbags.His tired and frustrated look was suddenly replaced by a smile, he had remembered the sumptuous delicacies waiting for him at the dining area and he couldn’t wait to dig into them but he has to freshen up first. His hands were stained with blood and his body was sweaty but before he freshens up, he wanted to speak with the chef.“Steve!” he yelled out to the head chef. The elderly man was in the room in the next few seconds.“Oh. How are you doing?” Alex asked, smiling widely.“ Fine young master” Steve replied with his head bowed. Alex sighed. He was previously known to be strict and commanding but the three years bet had changed him, the workers still feared him though.“Okay. The dishes are ready right?” he asked.“Yes.
'How are you doing? I hope you love your stay at Orange City. I’m so proud of you for staying all through the three year bet, withstanding the insult, humiliation and embarrassment from the rich and influential. You have proven that you can live well below your standard and survive making you sharpened in both worlds( the rich and the poor). The purpose of the bet was to curb your pride and see things differently which would greatly help with decision making and investment. I apologize for not receiving you after your bet but I’m sure Albert took good care of you. Anyways, enjoy your stay in Orange City and you would be seeing me soon. I love you Son' the text read.Tears welled up in Alex eyes but he quickly wiped them off and smiled. His grandfather was the only one there for him after his parents death and even when other influential family friends deserted him and left the company to collapse, his grandfather taught him management and leadership. He misses him so much and can’t wa
Alex got to work immediately, he had already thought of a plan the only thing standing between him and victory is to implement the plan. It won’t be a difficult task to carry out the plan as he was well aware that the relationship between the five families was fragile, they might be best buddies and strong union to the outer world but Alex knew deep down they were jealous of each other.To have power and dominance in a City would require a lot of illegal activities mostly especially when they are other active competitors around. The five families all have hidden dirty secrets and they all know each other secrets so to avoid loss of power, they pretend to be friends when they actually seek your downfall.The five families envy each other and each of them is thirst for power to rule alone with being called in groups. Penetrating that fragile relationship won’t be a tough task neither would it be easy but Alex was ready. He was ready to let them finally know who they were dealing with, h
The shocked look plastered on Isaac’s face made Alex road with laughter for a while. Isaac was shocked that his master could plan something so unique and smart, he had expected him to maybe report the families to his grandfather or fight dirty with them but he wouldn’t. He would prefer turning them against each other and watch them drag themselves down. “It wouldn’t be fun going details into my plans so I just gave you a summary. Just watch things unfold.” Alex finally said after the longest laughter.“Why do you look so surprised though?” he asked. “That’s the smartest idea I have ever heard. It’s so epic and different from what anybody would have done” Isaac replied.“Okay. It gets more interesting as it unfolds. Secrets known and unknown would be made public, just get ready. But before then, I would like you to run few errands for me” Alex said, twirling in his chair and chewing on his pen cap.“ Sure young master. What’s that?” Isaac stood up, ready to note down instructions.“
Alex was so focused with whatever he was reading on his laptop that he didn’t hear Isaac’s knock on the door. He had stumbled upon information on the internet that could be of great help to his plan. He smirked as he read the information further. Unable to describe the feeling of pride and victory that filled his heart, Alex just kept smiling mischievously. Je was so sure his plan would be the best and there was nothing the Adams family or the Edward’s could do to stop him.“Young master?” Isaac voice jolted him back to reality.“Isaac! I’m so glad to see you” Alex yelped in joy.“Is anything wrong Sir?” Isaac asked surprised to see his master in such an excited mood despite the sensitive of their mission.“No no. Not at all. So?” Alex said, knowing Isaac could only be in his office for one reason, report.“I was able to find your friend and he waiting in the reception as we speak” Isaac answered.“Good. Excellent. I have always trusted you. Let him in” Isaac smiled sheepishly at the
