"What kept you there for this long? I hope Mr Hans didn't scold you." Nick asked Arthur, concern evident on his face. Arthur stared at him and looked around the place. Nick quickly got the point and they made their way to the dressing room. It was their safe haven. A place where they could be themselves and freely chat. However, they had to be swift because it was still working hours."Tell me, what happened there? Why did you take so long to come outside?" Nick curiously enquired and Arthur shook his head."My mouth cannot say what my eyes saw." Arthur replied, causing the man to be more confused. He didn't understand what Arthur was trying to tell him. "What do you mean? Did you see anything forbidden?"Arthur shook his head and smiled."Do you think Hans could be the man you heard his voice when you saw one of the twins at the store the night you told me about?"Nick was getting more confused. Arthur didn't tell him what he saw, now he was asking him another question.With furrowe
The Rise of Arthur McCain Chapter 44
After Bryan left Janet's house that morning for home. They drove the new car to her mother's coffee shop. Janet hadn't been happy with her mom about the way she hastily accepted the car. It was not like she wouldn't accept the car at last, she just wanted to push Bryan to do better. With the way that she acted, he'd think twice before getting any inferior thing in the future.They got to the shop and found no customers in the place. Even though it was a little closer to noon, the sales attendant hadn't made much sales. All their customers were all running off because they felt that the owner was not ready for business. There was no good customer service and the shop didn't sell any other drinks like juice, milkshakes and several other drinks. Sometimes, the shop would be closed. The other attendants had stopped working because they hadn't been paid for some time. It was just one person who was still trying her best to get the shop back on its feet.The attendant saw them and ran to we

Janet didn't know how to react. She started walking towards the door and halted by the door. Striding back to where her mother was, Janet gave her an intense stare. She was so remorseful and Janet could see it on her face."Janet, I'm so sorry. I was stupidly in love like a teenager that I didn't know what I was doing." Stella pleaded but Janet didn't say anything. She was still speechless.She opened her mouth and closed it again. Drawing out a chair, she sat on it and rested her head on both hands. Janet wasn't saying anything and this got Stella restless. She wanted Janet to pour out her anger until there wasn't anymore left to pour out."Janet dear, come on, say something. Anything. Call me names, a foolish mother. A stupid woman. Anything at all, I deserve it."Janet shook her head and let out a deep sigh. "How old is he and where is he staying?" She asked.Stella slightly tilted her head and said. "He should be a little older than you. Let's say around twenty eight years. He w

Arthur and Nick parted ways and went about their work. Arthur was yet to reveal the information about his relationship with Janet and Bryan. He wanted it to stay that way. If he were to tell the man anything, then he'd have to fabricate a lie. Those people were bad news so he didn't want to think about them. His thoughts suddenly went on someone he hadn't seen that day. He had to make her drive to House 34, Roban street the previous night. It was wrong on his part to mislead the lady. However, he had to keep putting on the facade. She gave him no choice when she insisted on dropping him off. He had to quickly think of the address one of his classmates gave to him some years ago.Jesse was a good person, no doubt. She didn't deserve to be lied to like that. However, Arthur was on a mission. If it meant that he had to tell a few lies, then he would. So long as he achieved his aim. He would apologize later on.Arthur remembered something, he had given Axel an assignment which might take

The duo quickly got into the elevator and waited for it to take them to their destination. Arthur stood at the right hand side of Jesse and a little behind her.He stole glances at Jesse but she was unaware. Arthur guessed that it was because she was very hungry. The thought made him smile.He saw something on her head and tried to take it out. "Thank you." Jesse said to him after he showed her a tiny piece of paper on her head. It was proof that she had indeed overworked herself. They stared at each other for a while and Jesse looked away, a smile plastered on her face. Arthur was smiling back.They got out and Jesse called the last number that called her. Arthur wondered what he was doing. Why did Jesse ask him to go with her? A lot of people were swaying around the mall like a hive of bees. He checked his time and realized that it was time for him to go home.Jesse soon came back to him. "You can just come along and grab a bite if you want. Moreover, I ordered a lot and I'm not q

"Why the heck did you say that to Bryan? How can you tell him to go and ask his father for money? It was you who adopted him when we got married so he's your son." Rosaline blurted out when she got to Gregg's study. She had earlier checked the room but he was not there. So, she deduced that he must be in his study. And as usual, with Oscar by his side.Rosaline had eyed Oscar when she got in. She never liked the man because he was always clinging to Gregg. He was Gregg's most trusted person who was also his right hand man. Rosaline thought that Oscar knew everything about the family.When the woman got into the study, Oscar wanted to excuse himself but Gregg stopped him. "Don't leave."Rosaline angrily clenched her fist and gave the man a stern look. However, he was unfazed because Gregg had asked him to stay put."Well, I don't recognize the son I adopted years ago." Gregg retorted. The mother and son had been acting all nice when he first met them.Gregg saw Rosaline at a mall and

Rosaline stood up from the table and started towards the door. "Bryan is your son and you must fulfill your duty as his father. If you want him to accept your apology, then you must give him a raise." Gregg scoffed. She's got to be kidding.Gregg let out a smirk, he would never give in to such demand and give the spendthrift a raise. If he could reduce the money or even stop it, then he'd do so. Bryan had no sense of responsibility."If this is a trick between you two, then I'll not fall for it. I keep saying that you indulge this young man so much and you're still doing it."Gregg stood up and strode towards Rosaline before saying in her face. "I will not give him a raise when he's not setting up a business with it. Tell me, what does he do with all his money? Is it not to spend it on that useless girlfriend of his?"He turned his back on Rosaline who had been chewing her lips out of annoyance. "I know that you gave him money and he bought a new car for her."Rosaline was stunned.G

What kind of impression was he trying to make? That he was a rich dude. Arthur stopped in his tracks and slapped his forehead again. He was still putting up a show before the lady. He didn't want her to know where he lived because it would blow his cover. However, he forgot to dress the part.Actually, Arthur wore a very expensive suit and one of the most expensive perfumes. Does he expect that Jesse would pretend not to notice his outfit and perfume. She would surely raise eyebrows and ask him a lot of questions. Arthur quickly put a call through to the driver.Ring Ring Ring."Sir, I'm already waiting for you outside…""I know." Arthur cut into his words and he kept quiet. "I'll be out in a few minutes, I forgot to do something." Arthur swiftly replied and ended the call.The cab driver looked puzzled and wondered what the problem was. There was a sense of urgency in Arthur's tone. However, the man had to wait.It was not like he would poke his nose into something that wasn't his bu

“Dad?”Arthur could not help but to panic when Gregg suddenly went mute. He had just said something to Bryan. Why was he not speaking again?Tilting himself, he reached out and began to shake his father. “Dad?”“Doctor, please find out what is wrong with my Dad. He's no longer moving.”Swiftly, the doctor went ahead to check Gregg's vitals while Arthur turned to glare at Bryan. He was praying in his heart and hoping that nothing happens to his father.After about a minute, the doctor lifted himself and turned to them with a very sad face. “I think we should take my dad to the hospital.” Arthur suggested even before the doctor was able to say something.He beckoned on Kimora and the guards to come and carry Gregg. However, the doctor stopped him.“There won't be any need for that because your Dad is gone. He's dead.”“No.” Arthur screamed and fell on his father's body, shaking it vigorously.“Dad, no. Please don't do this to me. Wake up and talk to me.”Bryan, who was kneeling on the

With a stunned look, Arthur rushed towards his father. He tilted himself and tried to lift Gregg's face which was not visible to him. “Dad?”That moment when his father did not open his eyes, Arthur's heart began to pound hard. He thought that Gregg was dead.Turning to face Kimora, Arthur asked him with a raised voice. “What happened to him? I thought you said that he wanted to see me.”“Yes, that's what he said to me a while ago. Maybe he slept off before you came.”Without wasting any more time, Arthur checked Gregg and saw that he still had a pulse before he began to shake him. “Dad, wake up.” “Kimora, call the doctor immediately. I think my Dad's not well.”While he was vigorously shaking his father, the man gradually opened his eyes and called out his name.“Arthur, you're here.”“Oh, Dad. You scared me. Are you okay?” Arthur let out a deep sigh as he kept gaping at his father.He tried to help him sit up but Gregg refused. “I'm ok this way.”“Are you sure?”“Yeah, I'm sure. I

Jesse stood up and started towards the door but Nick didn't follow him. He was still so dumbfounded.Dazed, he kept staring intently at Arthur and also at the sisters.“Um, Sir….. Do you mean, uh… Did you just promote me as the new manager of this great organization?”With a smile that reached his eyes, Arthur nodded at him. “Yeah, I just did that. You're now the manager of this organization and I hope you'll not disappoint.”Placing his left hand on his mouth, Nick let out a gasp. “Oh my God. Wow!” Out of impulse, he fell on the ground and began to thank Arthur. “Thank you so much Sir. This is really unbelievable.”“Thank you, Thank you Sir.” Nick kept appreciating him. He could not also get himself to address him as Arthur after what he had just done for him.Arthur has changed his status. From a mall guard to a manager. It was indeed a very huge elevation.“It's ok Nick, stand up. You don't have to fall on the ground to show your appreciation. I can already see how grateful you ar

They were her ex boyfriend and ex friend, Anderson and Michael. The duo came to shop at the mall when they saw the media hovering around some people. The couple decided to find out what was going on. It was then that they saw Jesse and her sister standing alongside some rich young guy who just announced himself as a rich heir.Once their eyes met with each other, Jesse smiled and raised her brows at them before clinging tightly onto Arthur's arm. She no longer cared about the multiple cameras before her face. At the moment, she just wanted her ex friend and ex boyfriend to feel envious of her.When Arthur was no longer interested in replying to their numerous questions, he turned around and began to walk into the mall together with Jesse and Jenny. As they made their way into the mall, the journalists wanted to follow after them but were stopped by the bodyguards and the other security guards.Anderson and Michael could not get themselves to go into the mall as they stood back outside

“But I didn't ask you to kidnap anyone. I didn't ask you to commit a crime. Why did you have to kidnap Arthur's girlfriend? You should have….”“That's enough mom.” Janet replied with her voice raised as she turned around and faced her mother. Her raised voice distracted the others and an officer came to give her a stern warning.When the police officer left, Janet let out a deep sigh before saying to her mother. “It was all your fault, Mom. You pushed me into doing what I did. If you were ever a good mother, I would not have turned out like this and ended up here.”After glaring at her mother one last time, Janet snorted at her. “Just get me a good lawyer. That's the only help you can offer right now.”Stella was about to say something when a policeman came to meet them. “Ma'am, you should leave now. You've had enough time with her. Just go and get a lawyer because she'll be charged to court soon.”Without another word, Stella turned around and left the place to get a good lawyer.Des

“Please, have pity on my daughter.” Stella's voice was heard as she ran towards them and fell on her knees before Arthur.“Please, forgive Janet. I promise that she'll never do anything like this again.”Stella, Janet's mother, had been informed of her daughter's current predicament. She was also informed of her actions that led to her arrest so she hurried to the station.Even though she pushed Janet into such action, she never asked her daughter to commit a crime just to get money. However, she also took some blame. She had not been a good mother but Janet was still her daughter and she loves her dearly.“Arthur, for old times sake, please don't send my daughter to jail.”The trio watched the woman with disdain and exchanged glances. They said nothing at first. Turning to Jesse, Stella held onto her legs. “Ma'am, I understand that you're the victim. But please forgive my daughter and talk to your boyfriend. I promise you that nothing like this will ever happen again, I'll make sure

Swiftly, he took out his phone to pick the call. It was from the police and they had found Jesse.Jenny watched in anticipation as Arthur answered the call. She was even distracting his conversations with the police.“Is that the police? I hope they have good news this time?” Although from Arthur's tone, she could deduce that it was the news she had been anticipating.Arthur raised a finger at her and she stopped disrupting his call. However, she was already pacing the place in restlessness.“Ok, we'll be on our way.” With so much delight, Arthur turned to Jenny and nodded at her. “Jesse's has been found. I told you that the police will find her.”“Wow! That's great. Come on, let's go meet her. In fact, I need you to put a call through to that number which just called and let them give the phone to Jesse.”Jenny had started walking towards the car but stopped in her tracks to talk to Arthur.“Hurry up and dial the number. I want to speak with Jesse to find out how she's doing. I hope

“Please, just go back home and let us do our job. We understand that you're trying to help. However, the best way you can help now is by not getting involved so as not to escalate the whole situation.”After a long pause, Arthur nodded at the policemen and instructed Dario.“Please drive back home.”“Right away Sir.”The officers drove away from there while Dario turned to the direction leading to Arthur's home.Meanwhile, the policemen that had been following Janet were surprised to see her pull over at her mother's coffee shop. From where they were watching, they saw her alight from the car and started towards the door of the shop.They had thought that she had other places to go. After waiting fruitlessly for some time, one of the men stylishly went closer to her car and placed a tracker on it. After that, they left the place.The police were certain that Janet knew about their presence which was why she stayed put at the coffee shop.After successfully placing the tracking device

Arthur stood speechless at a spot. He could not believe that Jenny was blaming him for Jesse's kidnap. She was even calling Janet his girlfriend.“She's not my girlfriend and will never be one. Jesse is the only woman I love.” Arthur spoke to the retreating figures of the ladies. However, no one replied to him.Once Jenny was out of sight, he took out his phone to make a few calls. He also contacted Axel to make the necessary arrangements for Benita's education. He had already made the promise to the girl and won't go back on it.After forcing himself to eat something, Arthur tried to plead with Jenny to eat. However, she was able to come out of the room after much persuasion.“Please, come and eat something.”“Have you heard from the police?” Jenny asked Arthur with a serious face, she was already looking sick from getting worried for her sister's safety.“Nothing yet.” Arthur replied with his eyes glued to hers. “Please, eat something first so you can have the energy to worry about
