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

James looked down on him and said "From now on you'll think twice before belittling someone."As Seth rose from the floor, his face flushed with embarrassment, if someone told him that one day he was going to bow down and kiss James' feet, he was going to laugh at the person, but now he had just kissed the feet of the same person he used to look down on, he really underestimated James.The cheering of the crowd continued as Seth left the boxing ring with his head low, people were really excited at the outcome of the match.James stood tall in the ring, he did not only win the match but also gained respect in the unexpected turn of events."I am so proud of you, James!" Sophia said with a beaming smile."Thank you, Sophia. Thank you for all the training, it really paid off," James replied, still trying to catch his breath.Sophia smiled warmly "Thank you for being the best student, you deserve all the congratulations"James proceeded to exit the ring the gym members continued to shower

The guards glared at James, it seemed he was not satisfied with the beating they gave him the other day, they were even surprised that he survived, they guessed he was back for more.James, maintaining his composure, looked at the guards with a calm expression. "I'm here to make a reservation for the Sky Garden.The guards exchanged glances and burst into laughter simultaneously. The guard on the left wiped the tears from his eyes, and managed to speak, "You? Make a reservation for the Sky Garden. You this miserable pauper Where would you see the money for it?"The other had recovered from his laughter and finally spoke "You can't even afford an ordinary table reservation and you want to reserve the Sky Garden?"Cherry Garden has four types of reservation, each type of reservation has a floor in the building.Ordinary reservation, you can only eat in the lobby, which is on the ground floor of the building, a reservation costs only $1000.Silver reservation can eat on the second floor

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,

James stood there, standing strong amidst the chaos, his demeanor unwavering despite the gunfire."You fools think a mere bullet can stop me?" James's voice cut through the tension like a blade. "You underestimate the power of the Winslow Empire."The gang members exchanged nervous glances. 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.

"You've got a lot of nerve showing up here, Mr. Winslow," the guy in the mask said with a smirk on his face."I know someone that will pay me half a million dollars just for your head""I don't know who sent you but I will advise you to put the gun down if you want to live"James said coldly.The gang member laughed out loud but still pointed the gun at his head "If I still want to live? I am the one holding the gun here, I could end your life here and now!""Ohh really?"

James sighed heavily, leaning into his Maureen's embrace "I'm holding up, Mom," he replied, his voice tinged with exhaustion. "It's just been a lot to deal with.""I also heard the news, what manner of evil is this? 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
