"I grew up in the ghettos, left there and saw a life that was a million times better than what I live through, when my parents died, I used most of their money to help some people in there, I couldn't do so much but I helped as many as I could." "I got back to where we lived and rebuilt it, i rented it to a few people and then later it was just deserted because they didn't take good care of it. After my wife died and I noticed that the cops were unto me, I went back there for a while until the day they came for me." "Hmm," Oscar sighed, "I'm not going to believe you," he added, taking Wade by surprise, the shock was evident in the young man's expression. "Everything you just told me could have been a lie... "Why would I?" Wade was yet to complete his statement when Oscar cut him off. "I'm going to assume that you are telling the truth. I have also seen the condition of the people living in that place and I have to admit that it wasn't good to look at. I'm trying to see ho
Same day Oscar arrived at the hospital along with his crew as usual, he didn't wait for long before being directed to the ward where Aiden Slytherin was being treated. Once he walked into the ward, a sanctimonious smirk crept upon his face, he looked down at his uncle whose condition looked worse than what he had been shown on the phone screen. "Beautiful," He scoffed, and thus utterance was all it took to wake Aiden up from his nap. He was unable to move but lay there staring at Oscar, the supposed reason for his current state. "Oh, you are awake now," Oscar mumbled, he looked at his uncle straight in the eyes and let out a slight chuckle intending to mock the old man. "Sadly you are not on your way to make a claim to the Slytherin Empire, I kinda thought you would have done that by now." He mocked Aiden while walking from one end of the bed to the other. "Look where you ended up," He continued, "In the hospital bed, so far away from the Slytherin Empire... what a sham
"I'm just as shocked as you are," Amy uttered, seated on the couch with her legs crossed, Oscar just stared in awe after he got full information on what William Hudson had done to make the Slytherin Empire lose a major deal. Not only that, but his statement had caused the Slytherin Empire's company in a few states to be temporarily suspended, including one of the biggest oil factories in West Arcadia planted by the Slytherin Empire. This left the entire cooperative speechless, and as the situation was still ongoing, calls came in from one company after another, so much so that Leo had to switch off his phone because the calls were too much to answer and currently they had no explanation for anyone. "This is just wrong," Oscar exclaimed, "No one just temporarily suspended a person's account without informing them about it, or at least without a warning, so what's with the immediate effect?" "If only they paid that much attention to the crime rate," Loe scoffed, " Tossing hi
“You wanted to talk?” Amy asked him as she walked into his room. She met Oscar staring out the window and he turned around as soon as he heard her voice. “Yeah,” He replied and ushered her to sit at the table positioned near the window where Oscar most often took his tea or did his paper jobs. Amy sat down, placed both hands on the table, and watched Oscar draw the curtain, making the room brighter than it was when she first came in. “What's the matter?” She asked him. “Did Aston Slytherin at any point hate the fact that you had a child?” Oscar asked, and Amy was taken aback by the unexpected question. “Huh?” “I know why I'm asking, Mom, did he?” Oscar sat down opposite her, and gave her a reassuring smile, to avoid making her feel like she was in a detective's chamber. He wanted her to be open to him because he wanted to understand the root of the situation. Amy took a deep breath, these were not conversations that she loved to indulge in, but for Oscar, she'd be willing to g
Amy looked up at the young man in front of him, the expression on her face was difficult to describe, but it said a lot about how she felt in the moment. She wiped the tears off her eyes and for a second her mind flashed back twenty-six years ago when she was told the same thing. ________ “How can you even say that, Ariel?” Amy asked, her eyes soaked with tears, it had been two days since her son went missing and there was still no news of his whereabouts. It felt like he had just vanished into thin air without a trace, and how was that even possible when he was just six months old? How could her husband be so careless, how could he have lost the child In his hand without knowing how it happened? Who did he give the child to hold at the mall? He was Aston Slytherin with numerous bodyguards flocking around him, how in the world could he have lost a baby? But Amy has refused any claims that losing this child was a deliberate effort from Aston, even though he didn't seem to care abou
Two days later, Secret location “What in the world?” Aston stared at the television screen in awe, the news about the acting CEO of the Slytherin Empire had spread across the country like wildfire. Aston , who strongly believed that the acting CEO had lost his life in the Netherlands incident, was amazed. He stared at the screen, eyes widened and jaws dropped. “Could they have gotten a new replacement that quickly? Did the Netherlands’ disasters happen for absolutely no reason? Did he survive? There were just numerous questions to ask and he needed immediate answers. He picked up his phone from the sofa and dialed a number waiting for the recipient to pick it up immediately. “Hello Lewis, I don't know how you'll do it, but get Miles here as soon as possible, I need to understand how Oscar is still alive.” Without waiting for the recipient to say a word, Aston disconnected the call and sat back on the couch with a frown, and just then a tall elegant lady within the same age
Ellen sat in the court, her eyes full of tears that were yer do drop, she tried to hold them long enough until the end waiting for the judge to pronounce his judgment on the matter. She knew her parents wouldn't be jailed if they were lost or killed, but regardless, it hurt her so much to think about it. She couldn't believe that it was still happening despite how much effort she had put into working at the Slytherin Empire. She avoided eye contact with her parents the whole time, because while she loved them she was still disappointed. After All this was the fruit of their labor. She would have been a lot more uncomfortable if Oscar was present, but the rich CEO was in another country dealing with other pressing issues. He has a few representatives here from the private equity firm, Amy was also present, but Leo had gone with his boss. With all that has gone on for so long now, Ellen was positive that the Slytherins had won the case, because all her parents and their team had d
“Are you going to come out or what?” The voice asked and Ellen's eyes widened in shock. “It can't be,” she thought to herself, the voice sounded too familiar, there was no way that he could have come to the court just because of her.The scene she had been avoiding for so long was now in front of her and she had no choice but to deal with it.“Micheal,” she mumbled, placing her forehead on the door and exhaling.“What are you doing here?” she asked.“I should be asking you the same question, Ellen,” Micheal replied, keeping his voice down but maintaining the same authority as he always had.“But that doesn't matter to me now, get out of that bathroom and let's…” his words were suddenly cut off and Ellen couldn't understand why, she raised her head in curiosity before calling out.“Micheal?” “Micheal, are you there?” She asked again, only to hear the sound of a gunshot, so loud that she closed be heard with the palms.“Oh God, Oh God what is it this time?” She sobbed, gently moving a
