James rode on his electric bike back home, and the cool air brushed against his face. James felt fulfilled, realizing that despite Alice and Darren's attempt to humiliate him, the tables had turned against them. After all that Alice had done it was clear to him that all Alice cared about was money, she ended three years of their marriage just to be with Darren, and from now on James wanted nothing to do with Alice, and very soon will regret leaving him when she finds out his real identity."Good evening Maureen" James greeted Maureen as he entered the house, Maureen was sitting comfortably on the couch watching TV, she seemed to be enjoying herself."Good evening my son" Maureen replied to James' greeting and hurriedly strode over to James to assist him in settling the many shopping bags. James was carrying so many bags that he struggled to close the door behind him."Don't worry, it's fine" James smiled at Maureen's gesture as she offered to help with the shopping bags, Maureen was a
A video capturing the dramatic incident at the Golden City Mall boutique went viral, causing a buzz on social media platforms. Although James' face was not clear in the video, nobody could identify him, no one would even believe that the same man who was humiliated at Cherry Garden was now being treated with respect by one of the most successful businessmen in the south district.The online community came up with different theories about the unidentified man. Many believed that he was the new head of the Winslow Empire and people wondered why he had refused to reveal himself.Alice parked her car in front of DEX LOGISTICS, the company that had delivered the Tanzanite Heels to her office a few days ago.The company building was a three storey building designed in the latest modern architecture with the name written styled boldly on the building. Today Alice was finally going to find out the mysterious person who gifted her the Tanzanite Heels.Alice exited her car and headed towards t
The receptionist glanced around cautiously before continuing, "I happen to have the phone number of the person who arranged the delivery. However, giving out such information goes against our company's policy, and I could get in trouble. If you're willing to compensate me for the risk, I might consider sharing the phone number of the person who sent the Heels with you." The receptionist knew that Alice was desperate and decided to take advantage of it. She wanted to help her but not for free.Alice's eyes widened at the unexpected proposition of the receptionist, she didn't expect such a request from someone working in a high end company like this "Are you asking for a bribe?" Alice asked with suspicion written all over her face.The receptionist relaxed back swaying left to right in her office chair wearing a smirk on her face"Let's call it a gesture of goodwill. I understand this is important to you, and a small compensation could help smooth the process."Alice thought this through
Alice was taken by surprise, yes, she was expecting someone dressed luxuriously like the man in front of her but his voice did not sound like the person she spoke with over the phone, the man she spoke with on the phone had a more husky voice, and with how rich Alice imagined him to be she was expecting him to come in a convoy of expensive cars with many bodyguards, well she knew nothing about him aside that he was very wealthy, he might prefer to live a simple and not loud life."Are you the one I was speaking with on the phone?" Alice asked him with an inquisitive look."No, that's my boss. My name is Brian and I work for Mr Winslow, he could not make it here as he had something important to attend to, so he sent me here instead"Alice looked at Brian with confusion as there were only two people Alice knew that had that surname, James and the new head of the Winslow Empire whom nobody knew his identity.But it could never be James there is no way the boss of the man who was standin
Brian and Anna sat in the living room opposite James, James had called a meeting with them, he had a very important announcement."Thank you both for coming," James began"I called you here to make a very important announcement, the Winslow Group will be launching a very special project""I want to build a hospital," James declared, "Not just any hospital, but a state-of-the-art facility that can make a real difference in our community"James turned to Anna"Make the announcement and also a contract of two billion dollars will be awarded to a company to build the hospital, so companies should apply for the contract""Yes, Mr Winslow. I'll do that immediately" Anna said giving a small nod.The news released by the Winslow Group detonated the entire south district.Countless companies applied for the contract and most of them got rejected even Darren's father, tried to get the Winslow family to award the contract to the Harris family business but his efforts were futile.The entire const
"Shit!"James could not believe what just happened although he was not injured due to the impact but his electric bike was damaged at the rear, it was impossible for him to ride it now.The Porsche just had a few scratches on it.James felt like he wanted to cry, he was so attached to his electric bike.Meanwhile, people were already gathering to see what had just happened, and the loud bang made by the impact caught a lot of attention.A well-dressed man stepped out of the luxury car, with a look of annoyance on his face drawing everyone's attention.The man, with an air of arrogance, looked at James and barked"Watch where you're parking, you imbecile! Do you know how expensive this car is?" "Edward?" James was not expecting to see him on his first day at work.He remembered his last encounter with Edward when he threw him out of the Martinez mansion when he was in desperate need of the money for Maureen's surgery, the Martinez family must have sent him to apply for the $2 billion c
"what's funny? Why are you laughing?" The security chief asked through gritted teeth.How could someone laugh after just losing his job?Is this man crazy?Is like he had a death wish or something.The security chief turned to the security guards behind him who were already brimming in anger "Teach this useless man a lesson! Beat him up mercilessly that he won't even be able to smile again"The security guards who were already brimming with anger strode over to James ready to devour him with the sticks they had in their hands.By the time they were done with him, James would be unable to even walk.But suddenly, a deafening horn sounded and all the employees dispersed because the Bentley stopped directly in the parking space reserved for the President.a middle-aged woman with an aura of authority came out of the Bentley, she looked professionally dressed in a stylish white shirt and leather pants, and she quickly walked down holding her phone in her hands.She quickly walked up to J
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
