James felt a seething rage boiling within him, his clenched fists trembling with an intensity fueled by the audacity of Alonzo's mother's words. He vowed to make them regret underestimating him."Mum, let me attend to this nothing before we go, he must get out of this place! The woman looked around and pretended that he did see James. "Just hear yourself, you said nothing, why would you be fighting nothing, nothing is nothing and worthless," she said as she grimaced mockingly"I wanted to respect you because of your mother, but I can see that she didn't deserve my respect, don't blame me for anything that will happen to you here, blame your mother for not giving you proper home training" he lips curled into cold sneer"Let me see you trying," Alonzo retorted Leave with your mother before you see the other side of me" James warnedYou must be out of your mind to open the toilet called your mouth, how dare you ask me to go out, have you forgotten who you are, a wretched orphan! "Do
Almost half of the companies in the state were affiliated with Winslow, James could see mother and son running after his car, he kept looking at them through the side mirror and was smiling wildly… The smile disappeared from his face when he remembered what Alonzo had done to him. He wished he could do more!What more did he want to do? He had stopped the means of their livelihood and that was like digging their grave.Before he could finish thinking about the punishment he unleashed on them, his phone started ringing and He took out his phone and saw Micheal on his screen. He did not pick it up because he always maintained road rules, he was driving and the rules say not to make calls while driving. He looked for a space where he could park near the road and pick up his call. James eyes fell on a caution sign that read : "Do Not Park" on the road. He drove some meters before he could see a nice place to stop his car and answer the call. Before he could park, the call had end
"I want the exclusive of $10000 for 2 days, they will check out before then". The receptionist wanted to interrupt and was shocked when James brought out his card. The card alone had shut her up, it was a platinum black card, she has seen cards like this, only the richest men possessed such card!James was tired, he ignored every negative thing she had been doing and focused on getting a room and going out. The reception hand began to quiver, she instantly bowed and started giving James sincere respect. James, who had noticed a a change in her demeanour, puffed a breath from his nose and muttered "Thank you star that I'm tired, I have dealt with two of your kind today, I'm sure they would never look down on people in their life. She gasped in extreme shock and her jaws wanted to drop on the floor as she saw James Winslow on the platinum card she was given, she became restless more than before and could not raise her head to look at him. The manager came in and saw her shaking a
James finally got home to have a night's rest, Maureen noticed he was tired and helped him to prepare a hot water bath. "I pray you to find a better job soon, This one is draining you, look at how tired you look. "There is no better job else here ma, they look good outside until someone starts before he or she will know what it entails, nothing beats being an entrepreneur, "You are right, nothing beats being your boss, but some works require less energy than others. I don't want you to argue with me on this, if you do, you will waste your energy, go in and relax." Maureen commanded. "Yes ma," James stood up from the couch he sat determined to go inside and freshen up but Maureen who had not seen anyone to disturb kept asking questions despite being the one that asked not to was it energy? "Did you hear of your friend, Micheal?""Yes, I heard from him," James responded"How is he doing and the case you talked about.? "I didn't see him today, I was busy with work, he just called
He stepped into his car, the engine purring to life as he navigated through the familiar streets. Thoughts about Maureen's upcoming birthday the next day lingered in his mind, and he wanted to make it special for her.As he drove, memories of the challenging times they had faced together flashed before him. The surgery, the recovery, the resilience—they had weathered it all. His commitment to preserving her well-being was evident in every gesture, including the careful consideration of her health post-operation. Maureen didn't know how important the day would be in James' life, he thought she would die when he didn't get money for her operation from Alice. Arriving at Lucas's place, he found Lucas waiting outside. The two greeted each other, Lucas bowed, exchanging a few words before setting off on their plan. Lucas was someone to be trusted, despite that James had been careful in dealing with people. Humans will always be human! He could have told Lucas about Vito's properti
Lucas looked at them with annoyance"Do you have proof that I stole them?""Are you a police officer to start retrieving stolen materials?"One low-ranking officer who had been watching the drama said "Let's see what he brought and interrogate him ma" he put his hand on his head and charged straight.The officer blinked his eyes continuously before asking James what he brought. "Whose stolen properties do you retrieve?"Vito's properties " The head officer laughed sarcastically and sneered "With your appearance, I don't think you can find Vito's properties and turn it in"James looked at himself very well before he replied "What happened to my appearance? What does it have to do with what I brought?""You are not bad but you look like someone who desperately needs money, why don't you take your so-called Vito's properties and go, I'm feeling sorry for you right now, if not, I would have continued with my arrest.""What will I do with Vito's properties when it is less than what I ha
The female officer realized her fate hung in the balance. If James chose to react to the unfolding situation, it wouldn't be a mere charge for defamation; she could be locked up for instigating a crime, given that she had encouraged James to take the properties to improve his life.Her eyes widened in horror as she witnessed James retrieving his phone from his pocket. The thought crossed her mind: could he be intending to report her? Panic set in as she questioned herself – did he know whom to call?"Hello, Brian," she heard James say. Her mind calmed at the mention of Brian; none of the people from the quarter had heard of Brian. She continued eavesdropping on his conversation."I need a contact of a high-rank officer," James requested."Okay, sir. It will text you now with his name," Brian responded.The female officer began to tremble as she heard what James asked on the phone. She prayed silently to avoid getting in contact with Garvin.James's phone beeped, indicating a text mess
He knelt and held James' leg so that he would forgive him. Seeing him on the floor made Garvin notice the female force who had been on her knee before he entered, he knew she might have disrespected him also, not knowing that she was the master planner Despite bowing her head, she could feel that Garvin was gawking at her, she became drenched in sweat and her body was shaking like a leaf in the wind"Jasel," Garvin called her and said, "Were you rude to him too?""Yes, sir," she replied, stammering."What is your punishment?" Garvin asked, shooting her a dagger look.Shaking where she knelt, she stammered, "Stripping and…" She couldn't finish her statement due to embarrassment. Shame overshadowed her, and she gritted her teeth as she cried.Jasel recoiled from the stinging slap, her cheek reddening instantly. Shock and humiliation flashed across her face, her eyes widened, and for a moment, tears welled up in her eyes, she remained frozen in the where she was. The reception fell i
