The Rise of James Winslow CHAPTER TWENTY
The President's office was on the top floor of the building and it occupied the entire floor.The President's office exuded opulence and power. The office had a massive, imposing desk sat at the center, a proof of authority. Behind the desk, was an expensive leather chair.In one corner, a private bar stood ready to cater to the president or any esteemed guests. A carefully organized bar cart displayed different premium spirits and crystal glassware.The glass walls offered panoramic views of the sprawling city below that allowed natural light to cascade into the room.James stood in front of the window looking at the City below as the warm sunlight brightened the room.A few days ago he was a common beggar who had not even a dime to his name and now he was one of the most powerful men in the world, even up till now he was not used to having so much power and wealth.A knock on the door interrupted James' thoughts as he turned away from the window to the entrance to see Anna standing
The Rise of James Winslow CHAPTER TWENTY ONE
Alice, shocked by the unexpected condition, stared at Anna. "Smash a cake into Darren's face on a live stream? What does that have to do with the hospital contract?"Alice could not believe what Anna told her, why would the head of Winslow Group want to embarrass her fiancee on live stream, she thought she had a romantic interest in her. Or maybe he was jealous of Darren.Anna, keeping her composure, I have no idea why the President wants you to do that. But If you agree to this condition, the contract is surely yours."Alice hesitated, her mind racing to comprehend the bizarre demand. How would Darren take the news? Would he agree to do it? "But what about his reputation?" This would be very humiliating."Anna shrugged slightly, "Mr. Winslow's terms are firm. Take it or leave it."Feeling the weight of the decision, Alice contemplated the options. Accepting the condition meant securing the contract and potentially saving her family's reputation. However, the cost was a public and v

Did we not get the contract?"Patriarch Alberto spoke up, his voice was filled with disappointment "The President of Winslow Group chose another family for the contract"Darren's face instantly morphed from confusion to anger, his blood began to boil."What?? even after I did everything they asked?"

Revenge felt so satisfying but he did not intend for him to get into a car crash, maybe karma was just catching up on him.Besides if he was drivi

Seth's eyes narrowed as he spotted James in the boxing ring, a mixture of surprise and disdain crossing his face. He approached the ring with a scowl."What on earth are you doing here, James? let me guess you now work here" Seth said with a mocking tone.Seth also had a membership plan in that particular gym, he had been working there for months before he met James today.James, catching his breath, replied, "Why do the Martinezs feel like they own the whole south district? This gym does not belong to you and I can be anywhere I want to be, I'm not part of your family remember?"Seth was taken aback by James new found confidence, something seemed off about him, he had lived with them for three years and never for once spoken to him in such a manner. Seth slowly paced around the boxing ring "So you now have the nerve to talk back at me just because you work here""And you told you I work here?" James asked glaring at him. Seth expected that James would be on the streets begging, strug

"Let's go! one! ... two! ... Three" Sophia, James' trainer instructed James as he was throwing punches at the punching bag. James had been training for the past forty minutes.It's been six days already, James has been training hard for the match with Seth.He would leave work earlier just so he could train at the gym, James already had a very good physique because of the tedious and strenuous work he had to do in the past to be able to afford to even feed himself.Sophia initially disapproved of him agreeing to the fight, but as his personal trainer, she had to train him and make sure he was ready for the fight.On the other hand, Seth was not putting effort into preparation for the showdown, to him James was not worth it.He only came to the gym not more than twice in the last six days just to mock James.Seth was very arrogant, and all he was focused on was beating the hell out of James."That'll be all for today, "Sophia said calling it a day.James nodded in acknowledgment of So

Sophia's desperation to get James to continue the match increased as she made efforts to try and get him to stand up "Come on, James! You can do this!"Seth stood on the other side of the ring, he was enjoying the show, he did not need to train just to fight someone like James, this boxing match was just a walk in the park for him.He felt so happy seeing James on the floor unable to get up as the referee was counting down."You are nothing! And that's what you'll always be... The useless son-in-law!" Seth said laughing hysterically at James who was on the floor.Seth's taunting laughter and last words 'the useless son-in-law' echoed in James' ears.4... 3..." The referee's countdown continued.All of a sudden James stood up, fueled by a surge of determination, James rose from the floor just before the final count, he stood tall, shaking off the pain that still resonated through his body.The whole gym fell into a stunned momentary silence.Seth's arrogant expression wavered, and was

In as much as James disliked Alice, his ex-wife, he would not let Friedrich kill her just like that.Luckily for them, Amelia had successfully disarmed the bomb in the car and even if the bodyguard tried to detonate it it would not work."Listen, Amelia" James spoke in a hushed tone."Here's the plan, I am going to choose our car and once they realize the detonator is not working, you will get out of the car and rescue Alice, while I will take care of Friedrich and his man""Are you sure of this James, this sounds very dangerous, it seems this man will stop at nothing until he kills you"James held her hand and reassured her"Just trust me, we will definitely survive this""Alright, I trust you," Amelia said taking a deep breath.Friedrich was still counting dramatically "Ten... Nine... Eight..." "Alright! I choose my car, just let Alice go"Alice's eyes widened with surprise, she was expecting James to sacrifice her, especially after all she had done to him in the past.What the hell

James's mind raced as he tried to come up with a plan to defuse the bomb and protect himself and Amelia."Don't think of doing anything funny, they are seat pressure bombs, any slight change in pressure of the seats and the bomb will go off, I also have the remote detonator if you try to contact anyone you'll be blown to pieces if you think you're smart to try me then"James turned to Amelia who was sweating profusely, if it was just him in the car, he could easily come out of the car untouched but now he had to try and save Amelia.James's heart sank as he realized the gravity of the situation. The voice on the other end of the line was cold and merciless, leaving no room for negotiation or escape.James then turned off the speaker of the phone so that he could not hear what they were discussing."Amelia, we need to stay calm," James said, his voice steady despite the fear gnawing at his insides. "We have to do exactly as they say if we want to get out of this alive."Amelia nodded,

They had heard rumors of his invincibility, but witnessing it firsthand sent chills down their spines."You still have one last chance to surrender," James declared, his tone final.

I am the one holding the gun here, I could end your life here and now!""Ohh really?"

How could someone be so wicked to tarnish the image of an innocent man"Maureen looked at James sympathetically, her eyes reflecting the pain she felt for her son. "My son I can imagine what you're going through," she said softly. "I know the son I raised is not responsible for any of those things they are accusing you of"Thank you, Mom," James said, his voice choked with emotion. "Your belief in me means everything."Maureen squeezed his hand reassuringly. "We will get through this together, James. We've faced far worse challenges before and conquered them, this is no different.""You look hungry did you have anything to eat for lunch?"James shook his head slowly."Come on inside, I have prepared your favorite meal"As they were about to enter inside, the sound of a c
