CHAPTER 21: IT CAN'T BE!Justin was up, bright and early the next morning. He took his bath and wore something casual but nice, which was made available by Mr Bishop. Surprisingly, it was the right fit for him. He wore a simple a pair black jean pants, and an ash turtle-neck shirt. He looked at himself in the mirror, admiring what he saw. Then, he headed downstairs. As he walked through the house, the attendants and guards bowed, greeting him. He smiled at them, nodding his head in reciprocation of their salutation. As he got to the dining area, he found Mr Bishop already there, having breakfast, casually dressed a bathrobe."Good morning," Justin greeted with a friendly smile. "Justin, you're up early. Hope you slept well?" Mr Bishop asked."Sure, I did," he replied, sitting down beside Mr Bishop.The kitchen attendants hurriedly brought his breakfast for him, greeting him as they served it. He smiled, appreciating them.Mr Bishop observed Justin's courtesy, taking note of it. "
CHAPTER 22: DAY AT THE OFFICE."Justin?"Joey was awestruck when he realized that the individual standing so freely with his over all boss was none other than Justin."But how?" he wondered. "How in the world is- I mean, what is he doing here, and with Mr Newton Bishop?" Joey cracked his head trying to fathom what the hell it was that Justin was doing in the company of such a man of affluence.Suddenly, he got jealous and angry, even having not figured out why Justin was with Mr Bishop. He still felt Justin didn't deserve to be in the company of Mr Bishop. He felt that he deserved to be the one there. "Please sir, let me relieve you of this obligation and take your guest around the department," Mr Cornell requested."As you wish," Mr Bishop gestured with his hands, that he carries on. "Thank you sir," he appreciated, then turned to Justin. "So, this is the accounts department. There is no dime spent in Cap Industries that we aren't aware of. And we pride ourselves as a department
CHAPTER 23: NEW BOUNDARIES."Seeing how invested you are in the welfare and smooth running of Cap Industries, well, not just Cap Industries alone, ever considered taking up the leadership of the company?" Mr Bishop asked."I'm sorry, you mean leadership, and not just working for you?" Justin raised his eyebrows as he tilted his head, wondering."Yeah. I mean, you'll still be working for me, but at an executive level," Mr Bishop clarified."Phew! I- I don't know what to say," Justin responded, not expecting that at all."You were perceptive and observant enough to spot the flaws within the two businesses, things I had missed," Mr Bishop continued."Your judgement will be impeccable, since you're not sentimental about the assessment of the credibility of my workers. And that's why I am very certain you'd make a great CEO."Justin's eyes widened in surprise. "You want me to be the CEO?" "Of course, who else would I rather entrust my affairs to, if not my competent son?"Mr Bishop notice
CHAPTER 24: SUBTLE THERAPY.Justin looked intently at Agnes. There was no doubt about the fact that she was beautiful. All who gazed upon her could tell at an instance of her beauty. She carried herself on her averagely busty curvaceous body frame. Justin could tell she was a regular at a gym. "Excuse me, I asked if I could get you anything," she reminded Justin. "No, I'm okay. I don't need anything."As a matter of fact, he did need something. He was a bit hungry, but he sure wasn't going to be asking this stranger to meet his needs, even though he could. He didn't like the way she seemed to be groveling around him. Or was he mistaking her actions for something it wasn't? Justin gave her the benefit of the doubt. Either way, he was done trying to get familiar with any girls anytime soon, after his experience with Samantha. "Okay, but if you do, you know where to find me," Agnes said, running her eyes all over Justin seductively as she walked away, making extra effort to wiggle
CHAPTER 25: ANALYSIS.Mr Bishop returned from the meeting. He headed back to his office using the elevator, accompanied by Gomez."When do you think will the perfect day for the introduction?" Mr Bishop asked Gomez. "The introduction of my son as the new CEO I mean.""You are already handing over to him?" Gomez asked.'Yes, do you think it's too fast?" Mr Bishop inquired."Not at all sir, I just thought you should give him more time to get familiar with the company operation generally."Mm," Mr Bishop sighed as he thought tapping Gomez shoulder as they arrived his office.Mr Bishop entered his office as Gomez had pressed the unlocked button meeting Justin deep in his thoughts."Hey son."Mr Bishop had stood there for some time, and Justin couldn't notice his presence."Oh! You're back," Justin asked, snapping out of his thoughts."Yes," Mr Bishop responded.Justin nodded his head in acknowledgement."You don't have to think on the matter at the moment," Mr Bishop said. "Just enjoy you
CHAPTER 26: FAMILY TIES.Joey glared at Justin as they proceeded towards the main entrance of the office complex. Justin had no idea Joey was even there, as he was surrounded by Mr Bishop's guards, who were armed.Joey was about to make his, attempting to reach Justin, when he was interrupted, startling him."Hey Joe. Hope you haven't forgotten about our game night tonight huh?" a colleague of his said, stepping in front of him. "Yeah, game night. How can I forget?" Joey laughed nervously, as he stretched to see where Justin was. "So, I was thinking, shouldn't we get the girls over? The more the merrier. You know what I mean?" the colleague said, smiling. "Yeah yeah, that'll be awesome," Joey seemed impatient. "Okay, one more thing. I think we-""Could you please get the hell outta my face man! You just interrupted me," Joey yelled, pushing him aside, moving forward. "Jeez dude. Why are all worked up?" Joey's colleague furrowed his brow, wondering what was wrong with Joey. He loo
CHAPTER 27: BARRIERS.Detective Savannah was done from the bathroom, and she headed to her bedroom.Trying to get dressed, the doorbell rang but she ignored it. Moreover she wasn't expecting anyone.But she heard the doorbell rang the second time. "Who could that be?" She quickly dressed up and ran downstairs.She got to the door and she peeped through the peephole, she saw it was her long time friend Kyle. They had been friends right before her parent's demise."Oh, it's you, come in," she said as she opened the door and he got in."What are you doing in my house by this time of the day?" Detective Savannah asked Kyle."How did you know I was home? Because you know my work schedule very well, it's not always predictable," she said."I wasn't coming to your house specifically, I was just passing by, and I decided to come check up on you," Kyle said placing both hands in his pocket."I hope that wasn't a bad idea?" Kyle asked."No, not at all," Detective Savannah responded."Come have
CHAPTER 28: BACK TO BASE.Justin woke up bright and early the next day. It sure seemed to look like a beautiful morning. He stood up from his bed and walked close to his window and slightly opened the curtains. He looked through sighting the rising of the sun, as his window faced East."Indeed I see better days ahead," he said, as he took a deep breath in and out, smiling.He headed to the bathroom, and took his bath, getting ready just in case Mr Bishop would require him to follow him to the office again.Shortly after, he was done taking his bath, and he quickly dressed up nicely and walked towards the door. Attempting to open the door, he heard a knock on the door."Yes, come in," he said, shifting backwards.Frank opened the door and entered the room and greeted, "Good morning, master Justin.""Good morning, Frank," Justin responded. He noticed Frank holding a bag from a Zara store."I trust you slept well?" Frank asked."Yes, I did, thank you," Justin replied."I can see you are
CHAPTER 130: HERITAGE.Justin's personal guard struggled up from the ground in pain and grabbed Gomez and both fell down on the ground, as they were at the base still confronting the Night Clan.Justin rushed and grabbed Gomez's gun as the gun fell off from his hand when Justin's personal guard grabbed him, Justin pointed the gun on Gomez's head."Look at you, you can't even hold the gun properly and you want to take over your father's property. You are as dumb as your mother, " Gomez said, as he was still on the ground."You are already a loser. So you couldn't approach me or my father in a better way, so you resorted to kilingl him," Justin said."I don't expect someone who was birthed by rape to understand my operations. Because I had left your father a long time ago. I was just there to provide information to Mr Russell," Gomez said, provoking Justin the more.Justin got angry and shot him to death. He walked towards his personal guard and helped him up, offering him a hand. As he
CHAPTER 129: FINAL COMFRONTIONDetective Savannah wasn't clear with Justin's response to her about his involvement with the mafia, the way his father was. She knew it wasn't a good idea for Justin to follow the same path with his father, so she tried convincing Justin but his response wasn't clearShe knew if Justin began headed down that path, his father's enemy might come for him as well. So she decided to secretly follow Justin, watching him.She was on her way to the Estate when she saw Justin and his men driving out from the Estate. She wondered where Justin was headed to by that time of the day. She knew Justin only goes out at night whenever he needed to hangout with her and his friends.But seeing him going out, with the circumstances surrounding this, she knew it wasn't to hangout. And from their conversation the last time, she guessed that he was heading to the base again.So she secretly followed him, making sure Justin and his men did not notice her. The drive was taking l
CHAPTER 128: FRIENDLY ADVICE.Certain areas of the city was tensed up as the hunt for Gomez and Russell was underway. Justin I'm conjunction with the Bulls Clan scoured the city in an attempt to have the duo apprehended. But they seemed to have disappeared into thin air .Justin requested hi men to call it a day so they could find a better way to approach the matter.Grizzly had teamed up with Justin, so he did as Justin had requested, giving him the honor of his father. He got on the phone and called the others to pause with the search, as it had yielded nothing, yet. Justin got into his car and drove off, heading back home. Shortly after, he arrived at the Bishop Estate. He came down from the car and walked into the house. He was stunned to see Detective Savannah seated in the living room as she waited for him."What are you doing here?" Justin asked, looking surprised."I came to pay my friend a visit. Can't I no longer do that?" she responded. Looking at Justin, she wondered whe
CHAPTER 127: VISITING THE BASE.The chief of police was requested to come over to the Bishop Estate by Justin, regarding the search for Gomez. It was days after the furneral and Justin hadn't heard anything from the police. So he requested to see the chief of police so he could know what was happening.The chief of police granted his request and came over. He drove to the Bishop Estate accompanied by some cops. He walked into the house meeting Justin, as the cop driving the car had parked it where they were asked to park.Justin had been unable to begin his normal daily activities at the office because he was clouded by revenge, and the police seems not to be doing their job as fast as he wanted."Good to have you here," Justin said to the chief of police."Thank you. My condolence once more," the chief of police said, and took his seat. His men were outside waiting for him.Justin nodded his head in acknowledgement."What's happening? I haven't heard anything from you," Justin said,
CHAPTER 126: QUEST FOR JUSTICE, OR REVENGE.Mr Russell, the leader of the Night Clan heard about the death of his enemy Mr Newton Bishop. He was happy as his plans were finally coming to pass. All he has been after was to make sure Mr Bishop dies, and everything about him fails. So he plotted with Gomez to bring Mr Bishop down by all means.Now that Gomez had succeeded in killing Mr Bishop, his next target was Justin. But he needed to wait for some time, after Mr Bishop's burial before he takes the next move. He knew that by killing Mr Bishop, he could finally dethrone the Bull Clan from it's dominance.He heard about the date set for the burial of Mr Bishop, and he planned on sending his men over to observe all that was going to be happening there, as he couldn't show his face at the funeral.He knew that men of the Bulls Clan were going to be everywhere at the funeral, so there was no way it would be safe for him to be there.____________Gomez finally met up with Mr Russell at the
CHAPTER 125: THE BOARD MEETING.Justin was able to forgive his workers and they all returned to their duty post. He knew they were innocent because they trusted Gomez just as his father trusted Gomez. But they didn't know Gomez wasn't who they thought he was.The doctor and the lawyer had returned back to their bases, waiting for Justin to have his meeting with the heads of the Conglomerate before the burial.Justin was able to give attention to Alex after he was done with his staff and the police. They were all in Justin's room trying to make him feel better."Indeed, the battles of the wealthy are endless," Justin quoted, as they were all laid on the bed."Indeed. But you're going scale through," Alex affirmed, without knowing the full details of what Justin was talking about."At least, it's better to be wealthy than to be poor," Duke said, turning his face away."You two don't understand. I have a serious decision to make after my father's burial," Justin said, looking up to roof.
CHAPTER 124: THE POLICE INVESTIGATION.Alex arrived at the Bishop Estate meeting Justin standing outside, trying to figure out what to do with the guards and the staff that left his father for Gomez to carry out his wicked act."Hey Alex. You're here," Duke said, as he sighted him and walked towards him."Yeah. Where's Justin?" Alex asked, looking round."Over there," Duke responded, gesturing his hand as he pointed at where Justin was standing."What's happening here?" Alex asked, as he walked towards Justin but he couldn't understand what was happening."He's trying to address all the people standing here," Duke lied, as he didn't want to begin explaining things to Alex.Duke couldn't approach Justin so he could informed him that Alex was there because of how angry and busy Justin was with the people."What punishment is deserving of them?" Justin asked his father's lawyer."I think we should involve the police on this," the lawyer suggested, looking at the doctor to see his reactio
CHAPTER 123: PUBLIC AWARENESS.The media were gathered with their cameras ready to capture whatever Justin had to say. Justin walked up to the stage to make the announcement. He stood there for a while without saying anything as he wasn't strong enough to say whatever he wanted to say.He looked at his father's doctor, and the doctor nodded his head encouraging him to go ahead with the announcement.Everything was looking at Justin wondering what he wanted to say to the public. They expected his father to be the one calling for the meeting and going up there to announce whatever he might want to announce, not Justin. So everyone stood waiting to hear whatever he was going to take to the public.The speculations on the internet were about to be addressed, whether what the media had been assuming was going to be true or not."Firstly, I will like to say thank you all for coming out," Justin appreciated, trying to put himself together.The media began mumbling as that wasn't what they w
CHAPTER 122: A CALL FOR A PRESS CONFERENCE.Speculations were all over the internet as the media had been suspicious about what was happening in the Bishop Estate. They had seen the ambulance coming into the Bishop Estate and leaving. So they suspected that something was wrong. But they weren't sure of what it was exactly.They had also observed the movement of the doctor and the lawyer, as they visited the Bishop Estate. So they knew that something was definitely wrong, and they couldn't wait to find out from Justin.The media were gathered by the gate of the Bishop Estate, seeking to go in and inquire from Mr Bishop or whoever, what exactly was happening in there. But the guards had refused letting them in because they weren't given the go ahead.One of the guards by the gate reached out to Justin's personal guard and informed him of what happening at the gate, letting him know that the media were at the gate seeking to go in.Justin's personal guard instructed them to drive the me
