Her heart raced, and she could barely open her mouth to say a word. Ellen had just watched her life flash past her eyes for a split second, and thought she'd be on her way to the spirit world now. "I'm not that evil," Micheal uttered with a frown, the look on his face said otherwise, and anyone could immediately assume that he was a murderer and has always been one. "But I can be evil," He added, looking at his very scared girlfriend in the eye. He enjoyed watching the fear, the horror that shook her body from head to toe, but if he had kept that up for so long, she may just pass out before he could do anything to her. "You can't leave me, Ellen, and if you try, I'll force you, or better still, I'll take this knife and shove it up your throat because I've gone through a lot to have you, so letting you go is a loss to me." "Step away from me or I'll call the police, Micheal," Ellen muttered, finally finding her voice. "Oh, now you can speak, I just hope you don't think I'll
Oscar had seen the phone call and immediately silenced his phone, he had been expecting one of the two to call since the beginning of the day, because he knew what he had done to them was too dire to overlook. But he didn't just silence his phone because he didn't want to speak, rather he did that because he was seated outside the mansion with Stephen, the spy to who Doctor Philip had introduced him. "Hope it's not an important call sir?" Stephen inquired, having noticed how Oscar put off his phone and silenced it, "I can wait if you have to take it." "No, no it's alright, it is not that important," Oscar replied with a sigh, "Just some random nagging client, so what was it that you were saying about Tristan Coleman?" "Oh, well he is the one who trained me, I've been on a few missions with him, but now I work for the government most of the time... "And Tristan?" Oscar inquired. "He is a busy man, running one of the most prestigious computer science industries in th
One of the workers in the park had come and directed Oscar to a gazebo, built on a spot where Axel City can very seen below. The sitting area were so beautiful and cosy, Oscar had never seen anything like it. "Do you want me to get you anything, sir?" The workers asked him. Nodding his head, Oscar responded, "Yes, a bottle of fruit wine will be fine." "Any specific fruit or wine in mind?" asked the worker but Oscar shook his head. "No," He said, "Just give me the best." 'I might as well as enjoy life now that I have it haha,' Oscar thought to himself as he watched the man exit the gazebo to get his order. While he waited, Oscar saw a car pull up at the parking lot far from the gazebo, and having known his father-in-law long enough, Oscar recognised that car anywhere. "They are here sir," Tom announced. "I can see that," Replied Oscar as he adjusted his sitting position, shifted his necktie so that it was centralised, and finally took out his phone from his pocket
"Well you finally said a word, please take a seat Mr. Briggs and let's discuss the matter that brought you here," Oscar said, keeping a smile on his face, that evil smile that ignited flames in the hearts of his in-laws."You are the CEO of the Slytherin Empire?" Mr Briggs stuttered while taking his seat."Is that a question or a random compliment?" Oscar asked with one raised brow, he filled his glass with the fruit wine and sipped from it as he awaited the response."Are you?" Briggs asked him."What do you think?" Oscar interjected,"Who were you told that you were coming to see, Oscar or the CEO of the Slytherin Empire?" "How?" Briggs asked,"How did you become the CEO of the Slytherin Empire..."Correction," Oscar cut him off,"I never told you that I was the CEO of Slytherin Empire, don't say what will get you in trouble.""What do you mean?"He asked."I am not the CEO of Slytherin Empire," Oscar answered, leaving both Briggs, his wife and those with him confused."No one wil
"Permit me to ask what you know about my relationship with this family?" Oscar shut him out with a frown, "I mean, let us assume that you were correct, what would you have said caused the dispute?" Oscar asked him while waiting for his response with a furious glare. "I'm just saying the truth and you know it but refuse to accept it, that's the way it is, Mr Oscar, you... "Stop it, Marcus," Briggs cut his assistant off immediately to stop him from saying anything to make matters worse. Only he understood the intensity of the dispute and wished that Marcus had never brought it up in the first place. "Mr. Briggs, the least I expected from you was to bring your assistant to insult me. I've known him for quite a while and he never watches his words. Just tell him to be careful with me, or he will regret it... "You'll also try to silence me now huh?" Marcus interjected. "I said, shut up! Marcus!" Briggs yelled, resisting the urge to slap his assistant across the face. He then tu
While resting on the seat, Oscar was able to contain his fury, he came out of the car and took a deep breath, and all that he could think in his head was, "Let me give this person another chance to apologise, and if Marcus as much as says one more word to me at that table, he'll go home with bruises." Upon getting back to the table, they all stared at him like a figure to behold, even the Great Pyramid would be shocked if it were to get that much attention. "Ahem," Oscar cleared his throat first, "I apologise for walking out of the table, but if Marcus says another word to me, he'd regret coming here today, and I won't repeat myself, I'll just take action. " In response to his words, Marcus rolled his eyes and looked away, while Oscar proceeded, "Now," He said, "What have we agreed upon?" "Well," Albert decided to speak for all, "If you are not willing to settle this amicably without involving the court, then yes, we are okay with it." "Good," Oscar interjected.
Oscar's flight to Netherlands was quite exciting, it was his first time on a first class aeroplane, and not just that, the plane belonged to him, and the exterior and interior all had the Slytherin Empire logo on them. He had never had such a peaceful flight, with just him, Leo and Tom on the plane. A couple of bodyguards were with them as well, but that was just it. It was both spacious and very luxurious, but it did not change the fact that Oscar was uncomfortable on air, but he was too mature to show the uneasiness. After they landed at the airport, he took a deep breath and thought, "Well that was a safe flight, thank God." But when he stepped out of the plane, he couldn't believe what met his eyes, there was a whole media crew, with cameras and microphones. There was also a red carpet running from the end of the aeroplane steps to his car not too far away. "How were they able to set this all up in a matter of seconds?" He pondered, but chose not to dwell on it and it d
"The train station?" Oscar asked. He looked out the window but saw no train, nor any signs that indicated that there was a train station around the area. "Yes sir," Leo replied, "Remember when I told you that I can't explain the process? Well, you will understand that now." Before Leo could finish his words, Tom opened the door on the left side for Oscar and the young man stepped out of the car, not knowing what he was about to face. Upon stepping out, he saw that they were in a large hall, like an abandoned airport all, without a single furniture or gadget. Before he could wonder what was happening, another car pulled up in front of him, but calling this a car was just wrong. It drove on a track, just like a train, and following the trial, Oscar noticed that the track led into a tunnel at the far end of this empty hall. The length of the car was two times the length of a limousine but its exterior design looks like what came out of a futuristic science fiction movie. As s
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. After accessing the information, which
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. The menu was a large book, having pictures of
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. The tales he's heard of this man from Stephen are not ones of he was willing to share just yet, but even though it was not part of their plans, Oscar felt that it was time to introduce his mother to Nigel. Stephen had introduced Nigel to him and had told him how far they had gone in their research befor
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. He also approached Amy and tried to stop her once again. "What a way to welcome me, Amy," Aston scoffed, staring a
“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. Amy's re
Within three days, the drama had subsided, all the Slytherin Empire companies were back to resume operations, and as easy as it may seem it was truly hell for all of them, both CEO and those under him. When Oscar returned to the mansion, Amy had already hosted a party to welcome him, inviting a lot of people to the Slytherin mansion, both within and outside the Slytherin Empire The celebration was grand, and Oscar was delighted to have come back to such a gathering, and he appreciated all those who came to celebrate with him. 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. He spent more money than he had ever spent all his life, trying to solve the problem at hand, leaving the Slytherin experts to deal with William Hudson, but the suspension was yet to be reconsidered and he never thought it was going to be
