Lisa Bake was stirring her cup of coffee at the dining and sipping with rare appetite when Fanny Luis barged in like thunder and shot an inquisitive, anxious gaze at her.

“Grandma! Grandma!” he called and reached to the TV remote, “Have you listened to the news today?” He couldn’t wait for her reply, and he turned on the TV and sat down pretty damn quick when the broadcaster showed up .

“Why do I need to listen news? I am the news. Why do you ask if I may know? She gulped her tea to pay rapt attention.

Fanny Luis raised his hand at her and signaled her to keep shut so that he could get the news the broadcaster was giving.

Once Lisa Bake heard that the news was about me, she trudged closer to the TV and had her hands on her waist as she paid rapt attention to the broadcaster.

Suddenly and as soon as the broadcaster was through with the news, Fanny Luis beamed, “I said it! I said it! I know this wasn’t rumor! I knew it!”

Lisa Bake’s jaw set as she wrinkled her nose in doubt, “But how

He was all tears and his face had gone crimson which made me realize he had been weeping prior to this time.“What arrant nonsense is this, Fanny Luis?” I yelled at him once I took off my sunshades, “Have you gone naught or something? Do you realize who I am?” I stroked my ponytail hair and when I glanced around, I beheld a band of paparazzi taking photo shots of the dramatic scene.When I thought Fanny Luis was done weeping and kneeling, he prostrated and stretched on the road and about nearing my elegantly sheen shoes, I pulled back my legs and shot my frown at his teary face.“Please the world richest man, indeed you have humbled me,” he finally spoke and remained bowed, “May I find favor before you.

At the time I never knew this day would come. But I had often told myself that once I become rich and powerful, I would ensure I free prisoners because no human being is supposed to remain in prison…”Morgan Harris still had his gaze on the ground. Warm tears were already trickling down his cheeks and Fanny had noticed it.Thomas swallowed hard and gazed upon Morgan, “You are all tears. Soon I will join you because this is a lost course.

    Morgan Harris was heaved with thought; suddenly his eyes became watery and red. He only could wonder how a boy he once hired as his delivery boy became so rich and powerful that Rio Hondo granted me the supreme power to free prisoners. He expected greatness from me but not this kind of power. He couldn’t believe it when the chief warden mentioned and about now he was yet to believe that his once ragged delivery boy had grown so rich and powerful that Mr. President granted me such power.“Mike Don! Jupiter’s brain!” Morgan exclaimed in shock and stared in the space thoughtfully, “How did he become so powerful that Mr. President granted him the supreme power to free prisoners?” he queried through gritted teeth and clicked his fingers furiously before cupping his jaw.Fanny hummed and folded his arms, “I am as confused as you, Morgan. I am hugely pained that this rich boy, this Croesus was once my son-in-law. Who would believe that the world richest man, Mike Don who is celebrated and lo

    With eyes welled up with tears, Mr. Kenny watched the site engineers pull down his five detached duplex and brought it to bricks and sand. He couldn’t stand the sight of his investment being destroyed and when he thought begging me would proffer a solution, I disappointed him by giving him the cold shoulders.Already it was late to reverse my command. Shortly afterwards I had joined the rest of my entourage on the private jet and shut the hatch door on the face of Mr. Kenny, who had been pleading for mercy so earnestly that he didn’t give a damn about onlookers when he lay on the ground to plead.“You just have to put yourself together! Perk up! Everything is going to be fine!

Everyone knows you as Mike Don. Are you not the true heir to the Saint Don Group anymore?” he queried me, stared around and realized a quite number of onlookers waiting for the outcome of this moment.I snorted, suspected the redness of his eyes was as a result of the shock that shot through his spines. This time I gathered all the voice in my throat and beamed, “Mr. Kenny for the second time, I am Brian Patrick.

    Day Of Reckoning

    I was done addressing the residents of the Suburban Estate. They were excited to have me as their new landlord after the government of Rio Hondo promised to privatize the estate so as to cushion the adverse effect the poor economy was having on the state.About now everyone had shades of smiles on their faces as they noticed none of their houses were marked for demotion. While almost everyone dispersed only one person was left behind; he was seen being restricted by my security that stopped him from getting close to me. All the while Mr. Kenny had been chanting my name at the tops of his voice and trying to catch my attention.“The world richest man! Mike Don!” that was the clamoring voice of Mr. Kenny. He stared around, settling his gaze on the group of bulldozers that were already steaming by the corner and ready to resume work.The moment the bulldozers started drifting towards the houses I just marked for demolition, his panicky voice intensified.“Oh no, please Mike Don!
