2024-04-08 14:08:36Damson was furious as he watched the bank manager call the security on him.
"This is the membership card with me. Here is the proof that I came here for a reason, which is to withdraw an amount of money. I just want my money." he said, frustrated."Where did you get this card from?" the bank manager asked as he snatched the card from damson."This card is not an ordinary card you can see or find anywhere. The only reason that you have this card with you right now is because you stole it!""I know thieves from the first glance and I do know you're one. Not only did you steal this card, you also had the audacity to come into the bank, claiming it's yours.""This might not be your first time stealing but it will surely be the last. You might have thought you would never get caught, but today is not your lucky day." he continued, angrily."The card is mine, I didn't steal it! I am not a thief and I won't let you treat me as one." Damson said as he struggled to fight off the security guards pinning him down."Do you know you're committing a serious crime right now? You're trying to impersonate someone else. Calling yourself what you're not. It will be better if you tell me where you stole this card from or who you stole it from!""Let go of me!" Damson muttered, as he tried to shake the security guards off him. He was sick of how the bank manager was acting."Hold him tight!" Mr James, the bank manager, told the security men. "Do not let him escape! I will call the police right now. After you rot in jail for some years, you will learn not to steal and fool others in your life again."Unknown to the bank manager, the managing director of the bank, Mr Steve had been watching the whole scene on the CCTV.He knew who Damson was because he had checked his bank account and assets, and knew that Damson was the most important client the bank had.As he saw the security guards pin Damson to the ground, he was very angry and hurriedly made his way to the VIP room."Stay away from him!" he boomed at the security guards as he rushed to raise Damson on his feet."Why are you helping him up sir?" the bank manager asked, annoyed. "This man stole a golden membership card and claimed it as his own. I'm glad you're here to see the thief."He looked at Damson. "Now that the managing director is here, you're done for! This will be the last time you try to steal, you fraudster!" he said, smiling smugly.He was sure that Mr Steve would be happy with him for catching a thief in the bank."Shut up!" the managing director shouted at the bank manager. "Hand me the card with you and better keep your mouth shut before you lose your job.""Mr malcom, I'm so sorry for what just happened." the managing director apologized to Damson bowing respectfully, as he handed the golden card back to him.The bank manager was surprised and shocked to see his boss pay respect to someone he was disrespecting. He was about to call the police for this same person.He must be a very important person, he thought to himself, feeling scared.He couldn't help but wonder if the golden card truly belonged to Damson, but it also didn't make sense to him how someone who looked poorly dressed could own the card.Emily entered the room, carrying a briefcase and was surprised to see security guards in the room. She was also surprised to see the managing director bowing to Damson."Who is this man?" the bank manager asked Emily, rubbing his hands nervously."He is Mr Malcom, he came to the bank to withdraw one million dollars in cash. He has over 100 million dollars in his bank account. The golden card you held is for him and we both know what that card means." she said."The golden card is owned by the CEO'S family, the most important and valued client in the bank.""What have I done!? Did I just disrespect my boss!? Have I not put myself in trouble? The bank manager thought to himself out of fear." he looked at Damson in disbelief.He was in shock. He couldn't believe the man in front of him was the real owner of the golden card."Forgive me sir!" he cried out as he knelt in front of Damson. "I've wronged you sir, please forgive me."Damson glared at the bank manager and the managing director. He was angry at the way he was treated. First, by the cashier, then the bank manager.They were mean and cruel to him, even almost got him arrested by the police. They treated him like trash, now they're apologising to him and talking to him with respect."I am so sorry for my mannerless behavior, I didn't know who you were and i was onlydoing what was necessary as the bank manager.""Forgive me sir." The bank manager said, still on his knees."Insulting, belittling and treating someone as if they don't matter is a very bad thing. You didn't even let me explain myself. You discriminated against me because I didn't dress like a rich person." Damson said."You have very bad customer service in your bank. Is this how you treat your customers? Is this how you operate in this bank?" Damson asked coldly."No sir!" the managing director replied hurriedly. "He just got this job, so he's new here. He will do better sir." he said."I'm very sorry sir." The bank manager apologized. "This will not happen again.""It's fine." Damson replied. "I'll let this slide on one condition.""No one must know about what happened here today, no one must know about my identity. On no condition should you disclose my identity to the public."And as for you, he turned to face Emily who quickly bowed down her head. "You must not tell your brother about my identity or about what happened in the bank today.""If I find out that you did, I'll make sure you lose your job here and never work in a bank again." he said coldly."Okay sir, I'll not mention anything to him." Emily responded, shaking with fear.The way Damson spoke scared her and also, it seemed like something he would do if she should tell anyone about his identity."Now, can I have my money?" he asked"Yes sir, here it is." the managing director said, handing the black briefcase Emily carried into the room earlier to him."Let me help you with it instead." he said, as he tried to collect it back from Damson."Oh, no." Damson replied, waving his hand. "I'll carry it myself.""Alright sir." the managing director responded. "If there's anything you need next time, we will gladly help. See you next time sir.""Alright." Damson muttered as he left the bank and made his way back to campus.

"Oh, shit. I'm going to be late." Damson thought to himself as he looked at the time displayed in the taxi's dashboard. "Can you go faster, please? I need to get to school as soon as possible or else I won't be able to get into my dorm." He pleaded with the driver. "Do you want me to fly? Don't you tell me what to do!" the driver replied angrily."If you knew you were in a hurry to go back to your dorm, you would have left where you were early. It's better you shut your filthy mouth and mind yourself." "Why so angry?" Damson muttered to himself as he decided to keep quiet. The turn of events at the bank was still fresh in his memory and the last thing he wanted to do was to get into a fight with the driver.When he got to school, he realized he was really late and couldn't go to the dorm again. He didn't also want the security to start asking him questions and stressing him on why he chose to come late. Instead, he made his way to the cafeteria. The plan was to enter the cafeteri

Damson was surprised to see the vice chancellor and was more surprised when he asked him to come with him. Everyone around watched as the vice chancellor stood in front of Damson and waited for him to respond to him. “How does the vice chancellor know him?”“Why is he here?”“Why couldn't he just call Damson to his office?“Don't you think it's weird that the vice chancellor came with someone in a Bently to see him?”“How can someone poor like Brad get special attention from the vice chancellor?” Murmurs and questions filled the air as everyone was trying to understand what was going on. “Mr Malcom. we need to go.” the vice chancellor said again, clearing his throat. “Alright.” Damson nodded as he followed the vice chancellor to the car, with everyone staring at them till the car got out of sight.Damson kept wondering why the vice chancellor came for him. He also noticed that the vice chancellor called him by his last name with a hint of respect in his tone. It was rare for the

“What Is going on? Why are there a lot of students at the door?” Damson whispered to his friends, confusion etched on his face.“I don't know, I think it's best if we open the door before they break it.” Fred said as he opened the door. Damson was surprised to see a number of students at the door. What surprised him more was the fact that they all looked angry and ready to pounce on him. “Where have you been all day?” One of the male students asked, as he faced Damson angrily.“You think you can just promise us dinner and get away with it.” Another voice said “Leave him!” He thinks he can just stay in his room and act like he did nothing? He wants to take us as fools?”“Wait guys, I didn't promise anyone dinner.” Damson said, looking around in confusion. “Oh please, cut the crap. Do we look like we're here to joke with you? You think you can just play us?”“You promised the students in the cafeteria free dinner then you ran away.”“You really think you can escape?” The male studen

“What the hell!” Mia screamed out, as she vigorously tried to clean the water that spilled on her ring. The water Damson spilled on the ring came as a shock as she didn't see it coming.“Are you blind? Can't you see? Do you want to ruin my ring?” she continued as her face flushed with anger.“You probably hate the fact that Caleb bought me the ring you couldn't even get for me and you're trying so badly to ruin it.”"You're just jealous and angry I left you for a better option. I'll pick Caleb over you anytime. You're just a servant boy and will always be a servant boy"“Am I to be blamed for your miserable life? You're a good-for-nothing human being.” she screamed at him.Mia's words pierced Damson's heart. His cheeks burnt with anger and he tried to fight back the tears that had built up in his eyes. “What is wrong with you!?”Caleb yelled angrily as he grabbed Damson by the collar of his shirt.“Did you just do that on purpose? Do you know how much I got the ring? Do you know how

“What were you thinking? Bringing up a card that doesn't exist so you could save your face?” Betty sneered.“How bold of you to think you can afford the most expensive food on the menu. You could have just agreed to not being able to afford it than making a fool outta yourself.”“Young man, don't waste my time, you need to make your payment or you will not like the consequences of your actions.” The waitress said. “How about you collect the card from me and check if it's real or not? At least you'll find out if it is ancient-”Before he could complete the sentence, Mia walked forward and snatched the card out of his hands, taking a close look at it. “Are you sure you didn't go and dig the ground in one of your dirty places for this card?” she asked.“I don't think I've seen this card before. So black, bare and ugly like you.” she continued, making everyone burst out in laughter. “He probably had planned to try and deceive the waitress, thinking he could fool everyone, but only made

“Well, well, well. Looks like the card was not fake after all. It's real.” Officer Ryder said, holding up his hand, silencing everyone. Damson let out a sigh of relief, a smile spreading across his face. “I told you, officer Ryder, I wasn't trying to scam anyone.”“Now that everything has been sorted out. Let me make this clear. I do not want to hear any noise from you guys again. You all need to focus on your studies and stop spreading rumors and causing trouble.” Officer Ryder said, clearing his throat. “I'm keeping an eye on you.” Officer Ryder said, pointing at Caleb. “Any more trouble from you or your friends, and there will be consequences. Do you understand!?” Caleb nodded silently as he was still in shock. He was still trying to process how Damson was able to afford 20,000 dollars. “I'll be on my way now.” Officer Ryder said as he turned and left the cafeteria. As soon as officer Ryder left the cafeteria, the students swarmed around Damson asking him questions. “How did

As Damson walked home from the cafeteria, a satisfied smile spread across his face. He was happy about the turn of events at the cafeteria and he was proud of himself for having the last say. The look on Mia and Caleb's face was priceless. He replayed the moment in his head, chuckling to himself. He had never felt so confident and in control. For once, he wasn't belittled. He came on top by surprising them with the card and him paying 20,000 dollars and he felt amazing. As he walked on, he heard a rustling sound, which made him look back, but all he saw was pitch black as it was late already. Most of the students were in their dorm, while some were scattered around but far away from him. He shrugged the noise off and continued walking. He figured it might just be his imagination. He continued walking but stopped again after hearing footsteps and rustling sounds. He knew he wasn't alone. “Luke! Fred!” Damson called out. His voice echoed, but there was no response. He knew Fred an

Damson laid on the floor, groaning in pain, his body trembling as he took in hard breaths. He was bleeding heavily, his vision blurring as his eyes struggled to stay open. He tried to shout for help, but he couldn't, the pain was unbearable. He placed his hands on the wound, applying pressure. As he laid on the floor, he couldn't help but think that this was the end. This was how he was going to die. No one knew he came here, he was far away from the school and didn't tell anyone he was leaving. He tried to move his body, to crawl towards the door, but his body wouldn't respond. "Help…Somebody help me.." He used his last energy to cry out. He could feel himself slipping away, his vision fading to black and his words slurring when he heard the door opening and a shrill scream filled the air. Damson struggled to stay focused, his eyes blurry, and saw the hotel cleaner standing in the doorway, her eyes wide with panic.. She was dressed in a bright yellow uniform, her tag reading Mar

“I worked all my life for your father,” Luis began, his voice filled with bitterness. “Tirelessly helped him build Stellarcorp from the ground up. And when the company became big, he still used me like a fool.”“I didn’t mind at first,” he continued. “I treated Stellarcorp like it was mine too. Gave it everything. But then, out of nowhere, he decides to look for his long-lost son, to give you the company.”Luis scoffed.“He didn’t even ask me what I thought. Didn’t care. Just ordered me to find you and hand it all over. To make it worse, he told me to watch over you while you ran the company. Can you imagine that? Me, the man who brought Stellarcorp to fame, reduced to your babysitter.”“The company should have been mine, not yours. Your father’s lucky he died when he did, helping you escape. It was supposed to be you six feet under, not him. But you were just lucky that day. My men did a sloppy job.”Suddenly, a voice rang out.“Enough of your talk, just kill this bastard already!”

“Am I in a moving car? I’m definitely in one.” Damson thought to himself as he opened his eyes groggily. He tried to sit up and realized he was in the trunk of a car. He banged on it several times, trying to get it open, but it wouldn’t budge. He began to sweat, helpless and disoriented, forced to wait until someone decided to open it.“Who did this to me? What happened?”“Why can’t I remember being put in the trunk?” Is Maria okay? Was she also shoved into another car?”So many questions ran through Damson’s head. He was confused. His head felt heavy, too big to carry.He eventually laid back down and decided to wait until the car stopped. After about twenty minutes of pure torture, the car finally came to a halt. Damson let out a small sigh of relief. He heard muffled voices outside, and then suddenly, the trunk flung open.He blinked against the light and tried to sit up, but his body failed him. He couldn’t move. No matter how hard he tried, only his head responded. “What the he

Damson couldn’t leave the Wilsons just like that after finding out what Mr. Wilson had done for him. The man saved his life, and the least Damson could do was help the family with the funeral preparations. He paid for all the expenses and also gave them a large sum of money to sustain them for a long time. He even advised Logan to invest wisely.He had wanted to stay longer, but Logan asked him not to. His mother and sister would only feel more pain with him around. His presence would be a constant reminder of what happened to their father, and they didn’t need that. Damson understood and didn’t push further so he left.At first, he decided to head to his apartment, but then he changed his mind and went to the dorm instead. He hadn’t been there in a while, and he wanted to see his friends, Luke and Fred. They had reached out to him several times, asking where he was and why he hadn’t been around. At the time, he couldn’t tell them he was married, so he just told them he had gone job

Maria sat in the car, fiddling with her fingers, random thoughts flying through her mind as she stared out the window. Kate was seated beside her, and two other men were in the car with them.She didn’t fully understand what she was doing or what she had just agreed to but one thing was clear, she couldn’t die because of someone else.Damson would do the same, right? Maria wondered, now biting her nails.He’d choose survival too, even if it meant putting me in danger… right? Anyone would… right? She was disturbed.“But Damson betrayed me too. He treated me like a fool, lied to me, and deceived me. I thought that we were close, that our bond was real.”“Had he been acting all along?”“How is he even the president of StellarCorp? When did that happen?”“He was the poorest student in school. So how? It doesn’t make sense.” Maria’s thoughts raced, growing angrier by the second.“I could’ve gotten more opportunities. I could’ve had a good job in his company. I was close to him! But he de

“What! No, no, please don’t kill me. Please don’t,” Maria cried, scared for her life. Today has been a rollercoaster of emotions. She was scared, disturbed, and deeply worried and she couldn’t help but be angry at Damson for dragging her into his mess.She was in this situation because of him.“Caleb and the boss want Damson dead, and now, because of him, I’m going to die too.” She thought to herself. “Where’s Kate?” the boss asked, ignoring Maria’s cries.“Since the last time she almost got caught by Damson, Kate had been lying low.” One of the men replied. “Tell her to come here right now. She has someone to get rid of.”“Is that really the next thing you’re supposed to do? I don’t care what you do with Maria, but can it wait till we finish off Damson? Why are you wasting time killing people you’re not supposed to!?” Caleb asked the boss, frustrated.“It’s your fault this is happening!” the boss snapped. “I told you nobody was supposed to know that Damson is the president of Stel

Caleb ran his hand through his hair angrily. His body trembled, and all he wanted to do was find Damson and end his life. He wasn’t interested in whatever plan the boss had to offer. He just wanted to carry out his own.His life had taken a dip after his father lost his company and couldn’t get help from anyone. He had called all his father’s friends and visited different companies for assistance, but everyone gave him the same answer, they couldn’t help. He was devastated. His father became ill, and they had to sell their cars and properties just to afford treatment.Caleb was left with nothing. He was broke and had to struggle to get by every day. Because of that, he hardly showed up at school. Everyone had known him as one of the richest boys in the university, but now, everything was gone. He had nothing.To avoid questions and rumors, he stayed away from school and wandered around. He spent most of his days at clubs, stealing from people and drinking. It was during one of those

Maria blinked hard, hoping she was seeing the wrong person but she wasn’t. She didn’t want to believe who stood in front of her.“Long time no see, Maria,” Caleb said, smiling sheepishly. “Did you miss me?”“Caleb… what…what is going on? Why are you here? Why am I here? Who are these people?” Maria stuttered, struggling to pull herself together. She didn’t want to believe Caleb had anything to do with her being kidnapped.“I asked you a question, but you’re throwing more at me in return.” Caleb said, his smile fading. “Courtesy demands you greet someone when you’re seeing them for the first time in a long while. Or have I become just ‘anyone’ to you now? Have you forgotten me so easily, huh? I made you a university student and suddenly you’ve grown proud?”“Cut it out, Caleb, and answer me!” Maria snapped, cutting him off. “What the hell am I doing here!? If this is one of your silly pranks, you better stop it now. I don’t have time for this! I’m not interested in whatever this is, s

Maria paced back and forth, staring at her phone. She had spent the last few days thinking about the argument she had with Damson. She hadn’t tried to reach out to him since they last spoke, and he hadn’t reached out to her either. She was angry about that, but she had more to think about than just her anger.Damson and Viktor had acted really suspicious on the day she last spoke to Damson, and she was dying to know what was going on. “What emergency could Viktor have been talking about that made Damson react that way? What exactly went wrong?” she wondered to herself.She had had her suspicions about Damson before that day, but the way he acted even when he was injured made her realize something was definitely going on.She decided to find out for herself, so she packed her bags and left for Damson’s apartment. She wanted answers. She needed to know what was going on — and most importantly, the truth about his relationship with Luis, who represented Stellarcorp at the charity organi

"Leo was the reason why my father had a stroke and had to be using a wheelchair. These past few months before you came have been brutal. Leo came with his friends to raid our house. It was just very sad that I was out clubbing on that very day. I should have been around to teach that bastard a very big lesson he would never forget." Logan said angrily. "I've been looking everywhere for Leo but I just can't find him." Damson replied. "If not that I have more pressing issues at hand, I'd do everything I can to fish him out from his hiding place." "I don't think you can find him just like that. Also, I think Leo also has something to do with the strange men my dad has been seeing. I don't know if it's true but that's what I just think.""That's the only reason why my dad would still be in contact with him after everything he had done. I can't even start mentioning everything that the bastard has done to our family and to be honest, I just want him dead!" "Can we just put Leo aside fo
