Scott stepped into the living room and took off his coat that was drenched and hung it on a hanger by the corner before making his way forward."Good evening, sir." Scott greeted after catching sight of Mr. Fernando sitting across the living room, blowing smoke, and sipping tequila."The doctors finally discharged you?" Mr. Fernando inquired with smoke oozing out of his mouth."Actually they didn't. But I feel fine so I decided to leave the place." Scott responded."I knew you wouldn't just lie in there doing nothing. That's one thing I like about you, you are always determined no matter how tired or injured you might be. During your fight against Harry, after you got stabbed, I thought you would step back and sound and alarm for us to intervene...but no, you still chose to fight your way out of it." Mr. Fernando commented, pride evident in his eyes as he glanced at Scott."I appreciate the kind words, sir. I thought since I was feeling well I should leave the hospital because I might
Scott glanced at Caroline's face for a few moments after hearing the words she spoke before walking past her with an emotionless look evident on his face."I see. You finally got what you wanted, eh? Your father has finally made you his next of kin." Scott uttered, his expression calm and collected as he walked forward slowly while glancing around the room. "So what's your plan now? Oh, wait, don't tell me. You are going to kill me to make sure I don't spill your secret, and then kill your father to inherit his properties. Eh?" Scott added."That's pretty much it. However, I can't kill my father now because because he currently has a lot of enemies and if I should take over his Empire his enemies will automatically become my enemies. I'll have to wait for him to take care of those enemies before proceeding with my plan." Caroline responded cunningly."You mean proceed to killing him?" Scot chimed in."Yes. Once all his enemies are gone I'll have to kill him to get all his properties."
The morning sun rose, and the rays flickered into the room and shone brightly into the eyes of Scott, causing him to wake up from his slumber. He got off the bed and stretched his body while yawning.After making sure he was fully awake he went down and completed fifty pushups in the span of five minutes before heading into the bathroom to prepare for work.A few moments later, Scott exited the bathroom and exited the guest room to go get his clothes from Caroline's room. He pushed the door open and stepped inside.Walking into the room, Scott saw Caroline fully dressed and prepared to leave. He paid no attention to her as he walked straight yo his wardrobe to get his clothes and prepare for work."Tonight is the birthday party of Fredrick. He has invited all the affluent families in this city, and our family was among those that was invited. So you will have to come with me tonight." Caroline informed whole applying lipstick to her lips."I'm not interested. I have things to do tonig
Hearing the words of Jordan,Chief Jim swiftly made his way towards him and glanced at the computer. "Take a look at this. Your name is all over today's headline, chief." Jordan spoke while pointing at the computer screen. Chief Jim took a closer look at the screen and could see protesters carrying banners with his name written boldly on it and some were also holding his photo with an "X" sign on it. "They want me to give up my position as the chief?" Chief Jim blurted out in shock. "But why?" "Probably because of what happened at the Television station. The whole city saw it, Chief. They saw how you just stood there and watched the worker get killed. They are probably putting the blame on you because it is your job to keep them safe." Jordan remarked. "What should I have done? If had attempted something he wild have killed everyone there. Doing nothing was the right thing to do." Chief Jim voiced out with looks of disbelief. "I don't think it's all because of what happened
(AUTHOR'S NOTE: I AM SO SORRY, GUYS, THERE WAS A GLITCH IN THE LAST CHAPTER. IT DOUBLED THE CHARTER AND I'M SURE THAT WOULD HAVE COST YOU A LOT TO UNLOCK. I'M TRULY SORY ABOUT THAT.. IT WASN'T INTENTIONAL.) Scott's eyes widened in shock and his heart skipped a beat after catching sight of the masked men standing in front of him with their guns aimed tows him.Mrs. Charlotte cleared her throat and stepped out of the elevator majestically before shifting her gaze towards Scott."I believe you remember me, Scott. We met at the station on your way out." Mrs. Charlotte spoke softly, her gaze fixed intently on Scott."Yes, I remember you." Scott responded. "What the hell do you want with me?" Scott questioned, trying his best to hide his nervous expression to avoid suspicions."What I want with you is simple. I need you to answer my questions truthfully or my COMRADES here will make you answer them." Mrs. Charlotte spoke."What questions? And I see no reason to lie because I am not hiding
"PERHAPS, YOU THINK I'M JOKING, RIGHT?" Mrs. Charlotte snapped, her pistol pointed towards Scott's head, and her finger placed on the trigger, ready to shoot. Scott swallowed hard after catching sight of the gun aimed towards his head, and his heart pounding. He knew if the Special force should find out about the part he played in Sergeant Barry's death he would be in big trouble that even his resources back home will be rendered useless. So he had to keep denying no matter how much they torture or threaten him."Why will I lie to you? What would I benefit from lying? I won't be so stupid do anything that will get my name written in the special force's black book. After all, I'm a nobody. I'm a worthless cleaner, why then will I get involved in such a thing you are accusing me of?" Scott bellowed solemnly with blood trickling down his mouth and his eyes barely opened. "Stop lying to me, Scott, because I'm not buying it. Tell me your part in all these or I'm going go pull this trig
Simon swiftly made his way towards Scott and sunk into his knees to check up on him. "What happened to you, man?" Simon questioned, a worrisome look evident on his face."Don't worry, man, it's not as bad as it looks. The special force came here looking for me but it was all a misunderstanding, don't worry about it." Scott responded as he wore his black hoodie to cover his muscular body. "The special force came I here looking for you?"Simon blurted out. "Yeah, they did. And I'm surprised you didn't see them. I'm pretty sure everyone saw them." Scott remarked. "I was busy at the office." Simon responded. "It's all good now. Like I said, it was a misunderstanding and they are gone now. And as for the injury don't worry about it. It's not that bad." Scott affirmed as he rose to his feet and tapped Simon's shoulder. Simon let out a sigh of relief after hearing the words of Scott. "Will this be a wrong time to ask you about the text you sent me few days ago and why you haven't be
The company was still bustling with the workers busy with their day's schedule. Scott headed to the changing room to get dressed in his uniform, however, before he could step into the room he heard a soft feminine voice call his name from behind."Mr. Carden!"Scott turned around and saw the female receptionist heading towards him with a stern look etched on her beautiful face."What do you want?" Scott inquired calmly.The lady glanced at Scott from head to toe in disdain before speaking, "Mr. Micheal will like to see you in his office."Scott already knew the reason why the boss wanted him in his office, but he decided to ask why."And may I ask why?""Why are you asking me? Do I look like Mr. Michael to you?" The lady spat."Yeah, right. That was the response I was expecting." Scott shook his head and tucked his hands in his hoodie's pocket as he began to walk away."Get ready to be fired, trash! It's about time anyway!" The lady voiced out but Scott paid no attention to her as he
