 "Yeah, it's no big deal. My father has a strong connection with the Floater family. Once he asks for their help, I am sure that they are going to get you on the list."

"Thank you so much, Kelvin, I don't know how much I can appreciate you after everything that you have done for us." She appreciated it.

James blushed.

"Kelvin, you are such a superhero, from today, I am going to have you as my idol." He said.

And Kelvin trapped him by his shoulders. "I am sure that you are going to do a greater exploit than me?" His words were even more encouraging than that of motivational speakers.

But even the little insects wouldn't be so sure about that, especially for someone who wouldn't move a limb and only depended on his sister's wealth.

Madam Catherine smiled. 

"This is the Son-in-law that I am talking about, not that scumbag." She muttered aloud.

Once she said the words, the chair beside them she had not been occupied for a while drew open.

They all stared at it only to notice that it was Henry. The once joyful atmosphere shifted with scorn.

"Speak of the devil."

"What are you doing here?" James growled at him.

Henry shot a cute and at the same time surprised look at him. "Were you deaf when my claims as a worthy guest were confirmed? He replied.

She poked her fingers at him, wanting to rip his eyes off his body but she was prevented from doing this by Linda.

"Leave me alone sister. Let me teach this good-for-nothing fool a lesson that he is not going to forget in a long time." She growled.

"Don't waste your sweat on him. You already know the reason that we are here, let him not be the one to blow things up for us." She replied, trying.

"Count today as one of your Lucky days. But you might not be so lucky next time."

"Not like you can hurt a fly," Henry muttered under his breath.

Kelvin brought his phone to place a call across to his father but the caller at the other end seemed to be busy.

"What's it, Kelvin? I am in an official meeting right now. Can't you call back later?"

"I am not going to take much of your time dad, I only want to ask for a little favor from you."

"Then what's it?"

"My girlfriend is trying to get a cooperation with the Floater family business group dad. Can you help me send them a request to pick us up? I am sure that they are going to listen to you?"

"Okay. I am going to see what I can do once I am less busy." His father responded and ended the call.

Everyone was eager to hear the outcome of the call from the stars on their faces. 

Kelvin didn't know what to say to them but he knew that if his plan was going to work out, then he had to assure them.

Kelvin smiled, giving the first assurance of a settled mind. "He is going to send a request, in no time, you will get a reply." He gave them the answers that they were looking for.

"I still don't know how to thank you enough Kelvin, you are a lifesaver."

"Don't worry, it's nothing." He responded.

"But can he equate moving to the highest peak mountain for some people?" James quickly chimed in.

"Shows how much you adore me, darling. Cause I am practically on my own, did you have to indulge me?" He replied.

"Just so you know, you are nothing but a worthless fool."

"Just a few months that Henry has spent with us, we are already seeing a whole lot of progress." Madam Catherine added.

While they continued to rain mockery at him, someone walked him.

It was an old man with already gray hair but he was muscled and still looking as strong as ever.

He held a file in his hands with a smile on his face as he walked.

"You must be Miss. Linda, right?"

Linda winged her head but she was confused at the same time, and so was anyone present.

"That's great. I am a representative of the Floater co-operation and I wanted to inform you that you have gotten the cooperation.

Congratulations to you ma'am, an official email will be sent to you soon. If you still have interest, please reply accordingly. I will be on my way now." He finally ended and he walked away from the place.

Linda was numb and her feet drew cold lost in the realms of her imagination.

"It had to be a dream. Or she was beginning to over-imagine things. The official party that was supposed to determine their fate hasn't even begun.

Her phone made a text sound and she got it, looking through the messages.

There it was, a confirmation that this was reality and she was not dreaming.

"This is the doing of Kelvin of course. His father must be so powerful for us to have gotten the cooperation even without a test."

But even the Kelvin that he was referring to was also stunned by the turn of events. He never expected things to happen so fast.

When did his father become so efficient?

"You are the greatest." The family sang his praises. So who was he not to take it?

Kelvin smiled.

"It's nothing. And I am certainly going to do more in the future." He assured them.

"You are such a perfect gentleman Kelvin. Unlike some people that do absolutely nothing other than fill their stomach with drinks." Lady Catherine hissed.

"What do you expect? He might not get it again. Just look at Kelvin who just got us a cooperation."

Meanwhile, Henry continued to sip his drink, not even disturbed.

For the first time since they started talking, he dropped his glass and turned towards them, staring into Kelvin's eyes.

"I wouldn't be so sure if I were you guys. Bunch of idiots. How can you be deceived so easily?" He smacks, already tired of Kelvin's extra holy crap.

"What are you talking about?" James frowned.

"You should ask Kelvin your

super Son-in-law. Do you think that he was the one that helped you out? Is he even capable of doing that?" Henry replied.

    Everyone turned to me in amazement as they faced Henry. They were all shocked at his response, and different thoughts ran through their different minds at the same time. What gave Henry the boldness to reply to them that way. Kelvin shifted on his seat and cleared his throat uncontrollably. His palm had begun to sweat, and he quickly tightened his fist. He wondered within himself if it was truly his father's doing. Henry was right. Does his father command such authority? Could his father really pull that string?"I'm sure you only came here to eat and drink," James mocked Henry. "Of course, what else do beggars know how to do?"Henry stared at James for a while, and then he snickered. The snicker sounded so loud and annoying. Everyone in the room was still amazed at Henry's newfound courage. "I knew you were only pretending to be meek all along," Madame Catherine said to Henry.

"You know what," she told him. "You don't have to send me any...""See you tomorrow at the dinner," Henry interrupted her and walked away without giving her the chance to say another word. Natasha folded her fist as she watched Henry leave. Men worshipped her. They were all ready to do whatever she asked, just to have her. She didn't think any of the men who wanted and worshipped her were worthy to have her. If she had known, she would have picked a husband amongst them. Henry didn't seem like someone who was ready to lick her feet. She knew it would be a problem for her if she continued with the marriage.Natasha stood still watching Henry until he was out of sight.

    "What is going on?" The gentle voice of the pretty lady sounded in Henry's ear. He gulped as he tightened his fists together. His eyes were glued to her lips as she spoke calmly, and her voice sounded like music to his ear. "What is going on, young man? You look very stressed.""I... I... they..." Henry stuttered as he tried to get his voice back. One of the boys around began to narrate what happened to the pretty lady. She listened attentively, and her eyes moved from the young boy to the old woman and then to Henry. She sighed after he was done with the explanation and turned to face Henry. "I can see you are in a hurry," she told him.Henry's eyes widened, and he nodded quickly. "Yes, please. I'm in a hurry to meet up..." Henry paused, realising that he could not tell the lady yet that he wanted to meet with someone on a date.He cleared his throat, scratched his head, and quickly added. "With someone."He smiled awkwardly, hoping that somehow she would be able to help. He n

They still found it difficult to believe that the poor Henry who they had all looked down on just a while ago was actually the heir of the Floater family whom they had all been waiting for."You know this is all your fault right?" Linda asked her mum as soon as they were in her room. "What do you mean by that?" Catherine asked with her hands akimbo.At this time, Richard had already left them and they didn't even notice his absence because they were still overwhelmed by everything that happened."You were the one who advised me to start being mean to Henry."

    Natasha woke up that morning to an open window which she had intentionally forgotten to lock the previous night, maybe because she enjoyed the natural breeze that was coming in through the window.It felt so..."Soothing." Natasha said, staring out of the window before she got out of bed. She went to sit in front of her dressing mirror and stared into it. Looking at her reflection now made her realize how much weight she had lost and how neglected she was looking over the last few months. She had practically become a shadow of herself ever since Henry got missing and had been presumed dead. She had found herself unable to live with his absence ever since then.She had gone to bed with her mother banging on her door the previous night, trying to find out what was wrong with her and trying to get her to come downstairs and have something to eat.Even though she felt bad for her mother who was obviously worried about her, she still could not bring herself to go outside, nor could she eve

She fired at him as he blocked the entrance to her car.She gave him a once over in a condescending manner, the kind of manner which would have him rethinking his life for the next few moments."What do you think you are doing, Linda? I hope you know the part you chose isn't the best for you? Instead of coming to me and let's resolve our issue together, you went ahead to cast me away just like that, just because you felt like I would not be useful to you." Richard pressed and Natasha rolled her eyes and let out a heavy scoff."You?" She said in the most condescending manner he had even seen and eyed him viciously. "Who exactly are you?"

    Two people were seen on a bed, involved in a steamy, raunchy romance.The two people were eventually revealed to be Miguel and Linda. After a while, Linda broke away from the kiss and slightly pushed Miguel backwards."What?" He questioned, looking deeply into her eyes. "Why did you stop? I was starting to get lost in the moment and you suddenly pulled away." They were both sitting on the bed, facing each other in an intimate position. Their faces were only inches apart, it would not be difficult for things to get steamy between them and for them to get intimidate one more time, Miguel would have easily pulled her into his arms and they would go into another steamy round of romance, but he noticed that she had something important to say, so he just let her speak."You wanted to say something?"

The military man said to him while tapping his shoulder lightly.There were now in the underground office which Henry had been surprised that existed there in the first place when he was first led there.

"Natasha," her mom called as she pulled her close and hugged her. "You've done so much to get the company to where it is now. Why do you want to ruin everything?" "Just when I realised that I loved him, mom. They didn't even give me the chance to say it to him. They didn't give me the chance to have the last conversation with him, and they took him away from me." Her mom kept rubbing her shoulder while patting her back. Her parents knew she would ruin the company if she continued with the way she was going. Her father's phone began to ring, and he quickly picked it up. He stood up and walked towards the window to

    SIX MONTHS LATER Henry's eyes were fixed on the blue Mercedes as it drove into the military training ground. He didn't shift his gaze from the car for a second. For some reason, he was attracted to the blue Mercedes. It finally stopped at a corner of the training ground, and the door opened. Henry's eyes first caught the silver heels as it alighted from the car, and his heart sank. He rarely saw women since he was brought into the training ground. He only saw them whenever he was outside, which was very rare. The men didn't allow him to go out. Other men were training at the training ground, while Henry was seated at a corner, thinking about his mother and Natasha. He wondered if they were looking for him. He didn't want to disobey the orders of not calling his mother."By the time she realises you're safe and stops searching for you. The police would become suspicious. "He would not forget the words.

    It's been two weeks already, and Madam Gu had not been able to figure out where her son was talking to. The police had searched everywhere in the country, and they could not find Henry. There was also no record of Henry leaving the country. Madame Gu told herself that she was going to press charges against Henry's uncles and all of her relatives if Henry was not found. The police would also have to provide her son. If they didn't arrest him for a crime he knew nothing about, then he wouldn't be missing by now. "On what grounds are you going to press charges against them?" Madam Gu's lawyer asked her. "You have no evidence that they have him. Mere assumptions can not even win in the courtroom." Madame Gu sighed deeply. She was deeply worried. She felt that the earlier she started acting, then the better for her and her son. Since no one had called her for ransom yet, then it was not a kidnap to raise funds or something. They kept her son so that they could kill him. It was better t
