Daniel's POV•She smiled and then slowly inhaled the air while her hands were placed on the stomach of the old woman."What is it?" I asked to know what was wrong. She didn't reply me instantly, but after many touches, she took her hands off the old woman's stomach and looked at me."She needs a few treatment and will be okay. Good thing you found her in time. We will need to give her some drips and few drugs and she will bounce back to normal." The nurse said and I sighed."So, how much does all that cost?" I asked in fear. Knowing fully well, I had no cash on me."That will be $3000.84 sir." She said with a smile.Immediately she said that huge amount of money. I felt my heart skip. Mehn! I was broke, so broke I couldn't afford $50 right now. And here you are, telling me about $3000? Mehn! Am fucked. Many thoughts began running through my mind as I stood at one spot, calculating and thinking on what to do. I noticed how strange the nurse looked at me, but I didn't bother about tha
.....She smiled and stared at the place for a while."Is this the place you brought me too, for treatment?" She asked me, looking really serious, but a smile was on her face the next minute I stared at her."Yes, yes ma. I couldn't think of anywhere of else." I answered looking so stupid in front of her.Was this supposed to be the first thing to say? Waking up and knowing your life was saved by an unknown man, were you supposed to thank him? Or ask some shit questions. I was disappointed, and unhappy at this moment. Any more word from her, my anger would explode and she won't like the outcome of it."Of course. You won't be able to think of some place better, when an old womans life is in danger. Thank you so much my boy. I am indepted too you." She said, grabbing my hands.Finally, she said something better and heart touching. I was expecting her too say some other trash, but guess she knew what she was doing. Now we can talk more."Its, it's, it's really, really fine ma'am. I mean
Chapter 13....New YorkEast Alley.Outside Donnie's ShopRite."Look...", I started as I got into the car, sitting next to May in the front seat. "I know I messed up but I can make things right.""How?", May asked as she rolled eye balls to the side , she was really mad at me but what to do?"I'm going to find him."Just then May faced with the same pained look and uttered. "How in the world do you plan on finding him? you barely know were he possibly is right now so how do you intend ---""Slow down would you." I said , stopping her in her track, before I proceeded. "You have a friend who can track people down right? how about we talk to him to help us out."May dropped her folded arms and sighed, there was a bit of tranquillity in the car before May exhaled her breath and looked at me. "Well ...I'm not sure if Tyson is in East Alley at the moment.""Yeah Tyson but how do you know he isn't around? have you even tried calling him?""Oh relax, I will call him but still I don't think i
Chapter 14.East Alley, New York.The Ayos’ Home.Laura's POV.I had dropped May at her home last night before heading back to mine. I clearly remembered her canceling her flight and a lot of other things. The door to my room suddenly opens with my mother walking in with breakfast designated on the tray. "And there's my princess.""Good morning mother.", I greeted, trying to keep my hatred aside but God knows I can't because her and my dad ruined my life already.She sits next to me with the tray hosting different meals. I wonder if she expects me to finish them all. I am not ready to become nearly fat like her."Are all this for me? or are you taking some to dad?""No dear. All these are for you.""For me?" I glanced at the food and her and placed it aside and got up from the bed. I was still in the same beautiful night gown of since yesterday. I hadn't change it yet."Dear won't you eat?""No.", I declined heading to my wardrobe to fetch a towel. "I am not eating anything now, you
Chapter 15."He's with me.", the voice spoke again and my eyes caught the guards ceased. They kept mute and washed away their mocking faces. I was about to turn around to see who it was but then, the figure walked pass me and straight up to the guards. "Do you have problem?"'Who is he? he looks classy and rich. He must also live here.', I thought. The way the guards backed away from their previous spot. "N..N...N... No... we have no problem sir. We thought---""Get the damn gates open!." , I heard him beam out loud, his voice sent them running to open the gates. He was clad in a black tuxedo with black shades sheathing is identity. He turned back and gestured me to come along. Not to far from us was... a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+!!!. My body grew goosebumps in an instant. This car cost $4 Million Dollars!. "Woah... Erm, sir. Is that your car?""Ha, yes. It mine. What's the matter?""Nothing actually , I have never seen it before except on TV... damn! I can't believe it in my
May turned quickly to see who it was and to her dismay, it was a handsome young man in normal house cloths and cross bag on. The individual was Tyson Rickson. His blue eyeballs probed the ladies at the doorstep of his apartment.Instantly he realize it was May and the other one was probably Laura."Oh hey...it you two. What are you doing here?"Laura slowly turned and was shocked when she saw Tyson. But she ignored and wore her serious self. "Where have you been?""Well I just went on an errand, that's all. But that doesn't answers my question. Why are you two here?", he implored, he wasn't giving an friendly countenance. "I need your help.", Laura answered."Why would you need my help?""Because I do."Tyson walked over to his door and brought out the apartment keys. "Anyways what's the matter?" he inserted into key hole and unlocked the doorLaura and May exchange glances.... ..."So Daniel left, willingly , not like he was forced to leave or something.", Tyson uttered after Laur
"Young man... what your name again?""Daniel?""Yeah, Daniel!. To Mrs. Potts , you aren't a commoner. No human would have ever done what you did for her.""Why? what makes you say that?""I have witnessed such situations. You know I was shocked at first but later I realized few things. The poor will always want to get into the riches court and snatch from them , or go far to make the rich Court's theirs. But you , you are a rare gem.","Oh but sir.""Call me Nicholas, no need for the sir.""Ermm, alright.", Daniel felt uneasy. He needed to go back home before Dean gets suspicious about his whereabouts and he wasn't sure what Jenny was going to tell him or even his uncle if he returned."Mrs. Potts wants to employ you---""Me? she doesn't even knows me. Why would she just offer me a job?""If you would just let me finish.""Oh sorry, continue."Nicholas sighed and continued. "Mrs. Potts ain't doing well and she needs someone to handle her business for while she rest.""Wait... me? what
East Alley, New York.Tyson's Apartment......"Anything?", Laura wasn't ready to go home yet, she was hell bent on receiving an answer about Daniels whereabouts from Tyson."Almost got it.", Tyson responded giving Laura a bit of hope. May on the other hand just sat idle, all she could do was pray Tyson finds Daniel. ______Phase 5, Mid Town HighDaniel's Room.... ..Daniel wasn't fast asleep yet, he was still thinking about everything that happened today. He sighed and sat up. Looking stress and tired. He tool the package and unboxed his new phone. He took his old Android phone and disassembled it. Daniel removes the Sim and observes it for a while. It been up to three days and he hasn't spoken to Laura. He ignored her calls for reasons that were best know to him. Now he would divert into entirely new life. Daniel couldn't blame himself nor Laura for his actions. He could only blame her parents and he was going to make them pay. He will become their nightmare and their sleeples
You're not escaping me today Mathew, not today." Strangler said with a gothic tone it simulated a whisper.As they ran deep, Daniel heard the incoming footsteps and Mathew could hear them either. This made them bring out their pistols as they ran aiming behind as they made their moves.They continue running until they got a sudden stop before a miniature water way thanks to a wide pipe that ran through the underground. There were two paths that led into the underground and it's left for them to know where they're actually going. Luckily, Daniel took to the right since its where the waters were piped from. Mathew tagged along but before they could know, shot guns sounded.Shot! Shot! Shot! Cling! Clung! Clang!Guns were heard fired and bullets were heard bouncing off the metal pipes, Mathew was lucky to his himself immediately he took a rapid turn to his right behind Daniel. The sound of the gun fire woke Damian but Daniel seems go have him under control. They kept running and gun fi
"C'mon Laura, is that how to greet or welcome your lovely family?" Simon asked carrying Damian on his shoulders "Let bygones be bygones, we aren't against each other. Why the hardness?" He added "Chilax sis." He added playfully snarling his nose on Damian's nose.Laura remained calm as she sat on her comfy chair, she watched as her family made their ways towards each sofas and have their seats. She waited for them to go on with why their came into her office but no one said anything except Simon who was busy playing with Damian. So, Laura decided to break the silence instead."Why are you all here?" She asked and they looked up to her but that never stopped her from asking the same question again "Why are you all here? I thought we had a deal of you not showing up ever in my family affairs." She added and this made Simon angry but he slowly controlled himself.Mrs. Ayo consoled her "We are only fighting for what's great for you, we are not stupid greedy family, we are one of a kind."
It was a splendid morning as the streets were already occupied and roaming with pedestrians and vehicles. A yellow taxi zoomed in sight and stopped almost immediately before a very tall skyscraper, the tall building was fenced by metal wired walls which would prevent intruders from jumping in or out because they would either die of electrocution or instead wouldn't jump. There was also a metal gate at the entrance of the building guarded by four security men dressed in what seems like cops outfits and are heavily armed with rifles and shot guns. Observing the vicinity from the taxi, they realized the vicinity of the Fortune Construction Company is also guarded by CCTV cameras. Thus, this gave the company a very high level of security even Strangler had no other choice than to reverberate his thoughts.Strangler sat at the back seat, he was dressed in a black leather jacket, white top underneath, black trouser and white boots. He also wore a black shade over his face shrouding his e
Nicholas TownhouseHe slammed the door behind, sealed the locks and sank on the first thing he could lay his buttocks on, a short stool. His heart was beating fast, so fast he could hardly put his breath under his control. He looked at the door awaiting someone to knock but no one came knocking, he might have missed him or either his chaser has left him to keep on running.Knock! Knock! Knock!Not long, he hard the hard knock on the door. He was petrified with fear, so much fear his lives flashed before his eyes and suddenly, his whole body felt paralyzed. Unable to move not even the smallest vein and muscle in his body, he just sat on the stool breathing and sweating profusely like a sprinter that went on a marathon.Knock! Knock! Knock!Came the knocks again and this time came the elderly tone of Nicholas along Sarah. His fear suddenly depleted on hearing that and he jolted on his feet immediately running to unlock the door. With the door unlocked, Nicholas and Sarah walked in distu
Unknown HideoutThe room was as quiet as usual with nothing but Daniel only seating in the middle of the room on the cement floor. His mind was hazy with not a straight mindset but tentacles, his face was obviously white as snow with nothing but hatred boiling within him. With Fortune Construction Company under Laura's control, his legacy is nothing but secured and safe in the right hands. His only target is making the Laura family pay.His thoughts were still paranoid when he heard the door open.it was a sharp turn as Mathew suddenly arrived early. He was disturbed by this as Mathew has never arrived early from the drug lord's hideout without given permission to be free.He rose on his feet against Mathew as he locked the door behind "What's the rush Mathew? You've never been back early from the cartel meeting, what's wrong?" He caused out questions at him rapidly.Mathew was sweating profusely his black t-shirt was soaked like he just experienced a gang hunt. He was petrified and t
New York cityHis butts got the softness of the comfy taxi chair, his mind went through the valleys of observation and realization to his present move even though Mathew warned him not to move an inch out of his secret prison. After getting to realize the whereabouts of the prison and ways out, Daniel made his way all the way from a forest outside of New York into the city just to make some findings. That's why he was dressed in what seems like a camouflage to him, shading hinself from the eyes of humanity just to avoid been seen by slightly, a kid.During the days of his fame and popularity, Daniel is by far one of the most recognised men on the planet with identity so great than the government themselves. To protect his fame from leaking, he dressed up in the most hideous outfit ever which was a pair of brown long hooded coat that stopped at his ankle, black shirt and trouser underneath, finalising it all with black navy boots. This quite went well with his surrounding since it was
Daniel ManorThe most elegant building in the whole wide world filled with almost everything required. The Daniel Manor named after the richest playboy billionaire on the planet is a place of fancy attraction, entertainment, luxury and graciousness.The building is like an island far from the initiation of Americans occupying other cities and states. The building is impressively enforced with enough technology and science to a bizarre level one would compare it to be magical. Surrounding most of the landscape was a forest, either ways called a jungle with enough armed and genius security guards dressed mostly in suits and others dressed in Black jackets and trousers. There was a wide road that lapped through the island creating a one way panel into the manor deep within. Three red Royce and white Mercedes-Benz appeared through the asphalt road and across various security guards but none stopped for security check since they belongs to Mrs. Laura's family. The miniature complex busi
Nicholas TownhouseNicholas was a bit faster than Dean could imagine, Dean was already letting loose of his worries and now, his intakes of bravery are now getting more durable than normal. Ad Nicholas dodged a straight blow to his face, he stepped back few steps just to regain his equilibrium. Matter of fact, he was effectively ready for Dean's next move ahead of time.As Dean drove forward like a launched missile, his stepping feet fluctuated causing a stain. Another punch launched out like a tree log against Nicholas face but the latter tweaked off the attacked spot and walked pathetically like a lumpy patient. Not knowing that was a deceptive trick to lure Dean's defence into stupor and effectively, it worked.Nicholas grabbed Dean by the collar, tolled him circularly before finally lunging him against the floor like a motionless mannequin.Dean fell to the ground like a tree, his back filled the ground like a fallen giant and immediately he opened his mouth, what came out was a w
Chapter 100" Where are they?", Sarah yelled."They will, be around here somewhere... we just have to keep looking.", Nicholas said as he stopped driving, bringing in drive to a stop." I don't think it will be the right time to stop driving you know.", Sarah said looking around inside the car. "Would you get in?""Sure... I am coming. He quickly got up and started the engine of the car and drove out of the area he was."And what the hell were you doing back there?""Navigating... seriously...","Yeah ...I just wanted to be sure, even though we aren't closed to the place yet. " , Nicholas steps on the throttle increasing the car Speed as he goes two time faster than before.Meanwhile, Jane tries her very to outrun this guys but it no use yet.Gunshots resounded the area, aimed for the tyre of her car. She looked back seeing the gun still pointed at her.She quickly turned the car and boom! the bullet fired sway.Nicholas heard the shot. And so did Sarah.."Did you....""Yes,of course
