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

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.

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 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
