2024-10-29 19:42:56As soon as she set eyes on him, Ellen withdrew her hand for the stranger, with an expression of shock mixed with guilt. She turned to her mother who had a mischievous smile on her face and then back to Oscar.
The stranger on the other hand, did nothing but stare at Oscar With a smile, he couldn't help but behold the piece of trash that Ellen was married to, and he was fulfilled to see the jealousy in Oscar's Eyes, it was just the expression he wanted to see.Oscar snapped back to reality, he had already imagined strangling the stranger to death for flirting with his wife but refused to react until he could understand what was happening."Can I see you?" He said to Ellen and began walking up the stairs without waiting for her response, because the longer he stared at the stranger, the more he was tempted to react.When Oscar walked into the bedroom, he sat down on the edge of the bed with a sigh and waited for Ellen. All he wanted to hear was whether it was a prank or an illusion. Anything other than these was sure to fuel the fire that had been ignited by the incident at work.Just the moment he was waiting for. Ellen opened the door and walked in slowly, her long dark hair resting on her shoulder, while her beautiful face was hidden behind an expression of guilt.Oscar stood up immediately and walked up to her, the speed at which he did, made Ellen feel like he was going to hit her, but Oscar only closed the door that she left open and asked,"What was that, who is he?""Oscar, listen to me," Ellen was yet to complete her statement when Oscar cut her off."Why was he holding you like that? Who the hell is he?""Oscar!" Ellen snapped,"Can you allow me to talk?" She asked and stared directly into his eyes. She could tell that he was already frustrated and felt bad that she was going to add to it."I'm listening," Oscar replied and walked back to the bed. He sat down and stared at his wife, waiting for whatever she had to say."That man you saw out there," she began,"His name is Michael Hudson, son of Willam Hudson, CEO of the Caribbean enterprise _" Enough about his name or his worth," Oscar Snapped," I just want to know what he is doing here, holding your hands like that."" He wants me to marry him! " Ellen answered and averted her gaze immediately. She couldn't stand the look on his face when she said those words.Oscar on the other hand felt like a bomb had exploded inside his chest, he couldn't understand why a man in his right senses would see a woman with a wedding ring and still approach her for marriage."What are you saying?" He asked her. Oscar Stood up and walked up to her, he used his hand to move her chin so that she faced him directly."What do you mean!""Don't shout at me, Oscar," Ellen slapped his hand off her face."Just know that this is not about you, it's about protecting my father's company. He needs a successor."The more she talked, the more Oscar was left confused. How could his father-in-law need a successor, and not consider him worthy, but rather a total stranger just because he had some societal influence?"What about me?" He asked her,"Why would you want to marry someone else just because your father needs a successor? Why didn't he just pick me?"" You and I know that you are not worthy to take over my father's company, you don't have any influential background, you work as a financial secretary for a very small organization that no one on earth recognizes, you... you are just not... not rich enough. " Ellen explained and walked away from him.She went to the side table drawer and took out a piece of paper and a pen.Oscar on on the other hand was having a hard time processing the information he just received. He was speechless, angry, hopeless, and confused all at once." What is this? " He asked when Ellen handed the paper over to him.Ellen took a deep breath, she was positive that this was the right choice. Not that she wanted to do it, but to secure her father's company, she had no choice."It's a divorce paper, you can sign it whenever you want to, but I'm leaving this house in two days.""Ellen, are you seriously giving me a divorce paper to sign? Are you seriously leaving me for that ... that man? Ellen I lost my job today, my account is frozen because I was falsely accused of theft, and then I come home to meet this?"Ellen was dump-founded, she was right about him already being frustrated, but she had made this choice long before now and wasn't backing out."This is the reason why we can't be together Oscar. I love you but we aren't compatible. Let's call a spade a spade, you have no future." She said and tried to hold back the tears that threatened to escape her eyes."I married you and waited, and told myself that one day you'll be wealthy... But it's been two years and there is no progress. Once again, I'm not doing this because I hate you, but to secure my father's company. Sign the divorce paper whenever you want to." She concluded and threw the paper and pen on the bed.She gave Oscar one a last stare, and said,"I hope you become wealthy at some point in your life." Ellen walked out of the room and slammed the door behind her, leaving Oscar To decide whether or not he wanted to sign those papers."No, this is a dream," Oscar told himself as he sat back on the bed with the paper in his hand.He believed that such a coincidence was too good to be true, losing his job and wife in one day, but he refused to believe it."Just who the hell does that fool think he is!" Oscar Stood up and rushed out of the room like a wild beast, he couldn't sit back and watch a man take his wife away and do nothing about it."If he is going to take my wife, then he has to go through me first." He exclaimed in a fit of rage and rushed downstairs.

Oscar's presence startled everyone in the living room due to his pace and furious gaze. He didn't hesitate to grab Micheal by his collar and lift him off the chair."Who do you think you are!" He asked Micheal, who didn't react immediately. Rather, he kept a mischievous smile on his face, just to make matters worse than it already was."Oscar, what do you think you are doing?" Ellen intervened and attempted to separate both of them with her hand, only to get yelled at."Ellen, stay away!" Oscar yelled and kept his gaze fixed on the man who came to take his wife from him without an iota of shame."Take your filthy hands off my clothes you imbecile," Micheal warned him with a sneer, for someone as wealthy as he was, he couldn't bring himself to wrestle with a man that he considered to be worthless."

The smell of cigarettes filled the air, alcohol and laughter from both responsible and irresponsible men echoed throughout the room, yet one man sat at the far end, spending the last few West Arcadian Dollars in his pocket on a bottle of drink. "Mind if I join you, mate?" A tall man whose face was barely visible under the dim light requested, and without waiting for Oscar's reply, he drew out the chair opposite him and sat down. "What's good?" The man asked and Oscar felt irritated, he wanted nothing more than to sit alone and wished the folk would quit bothering him. "Nothing good, man," He replied, without hiding the fact that he felt disturbed. "You know," the man continued, after taking a sip from his bottle of baijiu. "If you don't want to talk about something, it's okay to say so. No need to feel bothered." He concluded and lit the cigarette after carefully placing it in between his lips. "Do you smoke?" He asked, handing his second cigarette to Oscar who politely declined

"Carefully fill this form, Mr Oscar," one of the cops handed a white piece of paper to him while he stood at the counter.Without responding, Oscar took the paper and pen from her and silently filled up the document, after which he handed it back to the cop."You left the surname blank," the female cop complained and Oscar nodded his head,"I know," He said."Is there a reason why?" She asked him with a hint of curiosity in her eyes."I never met my parents, and I don't use the surname given to me by the court, I don't like it. I only used them for document's sake." Oscar replied and the cop sighed."I'm sorry," she said."It's okay," Oscar uttered and followed her to the chief's office, the man who will decide his fate for the time being."Good evening, please sit down." He ushered and Oscar did as he said, all while keeping a straight face and composed demeanour. After looking through the files in front of him, the chief looked up to Oscar and said "I believe that you are aware o

Do not touch that man!” The police chief yelled at the cops as they took Oscar towards one of the cells.They all turned to face hi, including Oscar, and the chief looked at his phone again to confirm that the person looked just like him.The striking resemblance was astonishing, such that anyone would assume that it was a picture of Oscar that was taken a few months back. The only difference was the hairstyle.Having this knowledge, the chief knew that he had hit the jackpot, because Oscar wasn't just from any family.“Please Pardon me, sir," He approached Oscar, who was stunned by the sudden remark. Even the cops who had escorted him were confused."Your mother must not know that you were arrested, I beg you," he apologized and Oscar frowned. He couldn't help but feel that the chief was mocking him since he had no parents.“Prepare the car!” He ordered the cops."The Slytherin family is about to get some good news.”At that name, both officers raised a brow, the chief did not say an

By nightfall, they were all seated in the car, Oscar, the chief, and two cops along with him. The three of them were not dressed in uniforms and did not go along with an official police car.The fact that they also chose to drive at night made no sense to Oscar. It'll take them three hours to get there, and they left the station by 7 pm."Why didn't they leave earlier?" He kept that question to himself.He also contemplated whether or not to ask the chief about the Slytherin family, and why they were taking him there, and he couldn't come up with any reason to be afraid to ask."Am I the man in the picture?" He asked the chief who was seated next to him at the back, and the chief replied with a smile,"Wouldn't it be wonderful?""Wouldn't you confirm first? What if I am not their son? That will put both you and me into a lot of trouble. It has been twenty-six years since that child went missing, what are the chances that he is even alive?" He asked the chief, to further understand how

As anticipated, the drive through the night took three hours, and at exactly 10:32 p.m, they arrived at Axel City. It was quiet throughout the city, mostly because those who live here are very influential and wealthy families. The streets were not filled with clubs, only a few, and also it was past ten pm, so most people had returned to their houses. The drive to the Slytherin's house took twenty minutes, they passed numerous checkpoints, and being a police chief, the man had easy access through these checkpoints by showing off his official license. The Slytherin family bought a massive plot of land, enough to create a small town. Not just that, the position of the land was spectacular, being situated above the city near the rocks. Each member of the family had their house at different points, but the Slytherin house itself was situated at the far end of the land on the left, a mansion built on the rock.The breathtaking view of Axel City from the mansion was spectacular, and the

With his heart racing, Oscar walked into the biggest bedroom he had ever seen, so spacious yet so beautiful. And by the edge of the bed in front of him, a woman was seated, it was none other than Amy Slytherin. She looked quite young for her age, so beautiful and elegant that no one would assume she'd have a twenty-six-year-old son, her dark hair rested on her shoulder, while her eyes were already covered in tears."Frederick," she mumbled and stood to her feet. She looked away from the paper and let the tears drop from her eyes. She closed the distance between them, and looked into Oscar's eyes."I thought I lost you for good," she cried, her body shaking slightly as she was overwhelmed by the unexpected news."A mother needs no tests to tell who her son is," she added and drew Oscar in for a hug.She sobbed in his arms, the true reaction of a mother who had just reunited with her son. These tears of joy could not be contained, and she could only hold back from screaming on top of h

Inside the room, Oscar stood in awe, the sight of what now belonged to him was spectacular, no one would reject a life like this, and Mrs Amy did not even give him a chance to say no."I'm adopting you today," He recalled what she had said and smiled. He tried to recall if he had any memory of his mother. He closed his eyes and tried to picture what she must have looked like but he couldn't remember anything beyond Pere's house."Hmm," He said and sat down by the edge of the bed, he took out his phone and searched for the Slytherin's long-lost son again, and once again those images were shown. He read through the article again, and a few assumptions from the detective who had been on the case, all while trying to figure out if any of them matched something he could remember, but none.He was just trying so hard to see if he truly belonged here, but nothing came to his mind. "I can't let the public know of this yet," He mumbled, unless he was truly their heir, he couldn't let the pub

As he walked into the Slytherin mansion, Nigel couldn't believe his eyes, it looked as if they lived on an entirely different planet because their home was just grand both inside and out. For a moment, he wished to become a member of the family, just so he could visit the mansion every day or even live there. But his admiration of the mansion was cut short when the voice of a young man called his attention from behind. "Please sit down," He said and Nigel nodded before taking his seat on the sofa, waiting for them to attend to him as soon as they could. Mark came to him in less than five minutes and he submitted the papers. Mark signed on to other blank spaces and spent a lot of time reviewing the information on the documents. It has a lot to do with Nigel's contributions to the company handed down directly from the managing director at the London branch, and it was meant to help Mark determine what kind of promotion Nigel was to be given.

Inside the elevator he took a deep breath and waited until he got to the sixth floor. He stepped out and walked his way down the last office and knocked gently on the door. “Come in,” Aston's voice responded from the inside, and without further ado, Nigel walked into the office and met the CEO of the Slytherin Empire staring at a picture on his phone. The expression on his farces was somewhat disturbing, like he had just seen a dead body or a gruesome sight from a crime scene. Looking at him again, anyone could think he was irritated, but Nigel would rather not ask him any questions since it had nothing to do with him, but at the same time he hoped he wasn't being too insensitive. “Good afternoon sir,” He greeted Aston and the CEO lifted his head from the phone and replied “Yes, sit down,” His gaze returned to the screen, and this time, Nigel couldn't hold back his curiosity. “Hope I didn't come in at the wrong time?” “Huh?” Aston raised a brow, clearly he was distracted, bu

They picked up Nigel not so far away a headed fod a garden far-off into the city. The drive was rather peaceful, no one said a word to each other, not even Oscar. The lively moments between mother and son ended and now the depressing moment carried on until they got to the reserved park. Once they got into the park, there were several suits and exclusive restaurants scattered across the land mass, and with the help of Tom, they got a reservation at the best sitting area. It was situated inside the hotel at the park, designed for the elites. As the walked in, drinks were already set on their table, with clean glasses for them to drink with. As they sat down, a waiter approached them to take their orders, and in this place, whatever food was ordered will be cooked and served fresh, and just to make it more exciting and luxurious, the customer were given the exclusive menu, consisting of the most exotic dishes from across the world.

Oscar did not just take Amy out of the room but out of the mansion, she made her get into the car and for the first time in a long while, Oscar was going to drive into the street alone. But Tom having spotted them from afar, signalled other bodyguards and immediately followed them from behind, whilst maintaining a good distance. Neither Oscar nor his mother said a word while they were together, he knew the emotional tumult, he knew that her heart was broken, shattered to pieces. He knew that she wanted to strangle Aston to death and he didn't blame her for feeling that way. Aston was a dubious man, nothing about him was good maybe the fact that he founded the Slytherin Empire.

She paced back and forth in the room and both Oscar and Leo watched her without saying a word, she was in a very bad state, and if only Oscar would let her, No was willing to run out of the room to make trouble with her husband. For a woman in her mid-fifties, Amy was quite strong, she knew how to get what she wanted and would go to any length to get it, but with Oscar pleading with her to stay calm and keep the door locked, she has no choice but to inhaled and exhale repeatedly until she was a little bit calm.Suddenly a knock was heard on the door, looking through the peephole, Oscar sighed in frustration, it was none other than the man whose presence had ruined their whole day.He opened the door to let him in, and as if Amy knew he was the one, she threw a pillow at him, one after the other until Oscar came in between them and stopped the pillows from hitting Oscar.

“I see that we already know each other,” Aston smirked, his eyes staring into the eyes of the young man who was supposed to be his son. How quick they were to conclude, how swift they were to make him the CEO in his absence without even knowing whether or not they were related.The striking resemblance was too much to go unnoticed, but most people will argue that it's possible because people look alike in the world and this could just be a sheer coincidence.“Yes, so it seems,” Oscar nodded his head in agreement,“And from what I know, you went missing three months ago, it's good to see you back,” Oscar said and didn't let go of Amy, the lady fuming with anger and Oscar could feel it build up with each passing second. “Well yes, I have been away for a long time,” Aston uttered nonchalantly, and stole a glance at Amy, “And oh, before I forget,” He added and turned around to face Miles.“This is my son, Miles Slytherin,” He said, leaving everyone's jaws to drop to their feet.

As for William Hudsons, he had confirmed by himself that Micheal was alive after he noticed that the detectives knew the truth. He tried to conceal it but only went into more trouble with the authorities. He was arrested under several charges, and his company was suspended. Micheal's son was also arrested for conspiracy, and as if that was not enough, most of their assets were confiscated, including their homes and land across west Arcadia. The case ended

“Why do you think so?” Oscar inquired, even believed that Micheal was dead, the evidence was so clear even though Micheal's pictures were not shown. “Think about it sir,” Leo replied, “Mr William Hudsons did not say a word about his son's death until two days after the supposed incident that caused him to lose his life, and while many people think he was grieving, I don't think so.” He came out two days later and claimed that the Slytherins had killed his son, and it had been four days now since the incident and Micheal is yet to be buried, what's causing the delay.” “He didn't see the need to publicize his son's funeral?” Oscar replied but in such a way that it seemed like he was also asking a question. “I thought of that, but Mr Williams is not known for keeping quiet, he announces everything very quickly. Take when he lost his mother for example, the funeral took place two days after, and there was a full life coverage broadcasted on the news, so what makes Micheal different?”

Days turned to night and things were not going well with the Slytherin nor with the Caribbean enterprise, the company clash became a more brutal war, especially after the death of Micheal Hudson. Without any logical evidence, Williams concluded that the Slytherins had everything to do with the death of his son and no one could tell him otherwise. He went as far as suing the Slytherins for murder, but as powerful as the Slytherins were, proper investigations needed to be carried out before the arrest. And in this case, the Slytherin Empire had the upper hand and no action was taken. Oscar was already sick and tired of the travels. Within the past week, he has visited five top political officials, people he never thought he'd meet in his lifetime.
