2024-04-16 07:07:08Chris had a sullen expression on his face as he exited the premises of the Carter family villa. He was waiting to get a cab to drive him out of the estate when the vibration and sound of his cellphone ringing in his pocket attracted his attention.
He casually dipped his hand inside his pocket to pull out the cellphone, still sulking about the scenario that occurred inside the Carter villa. However, his thoughts instantly switched as soon as he glanced at the number calling him.Chris’s gaze narrowed as he intently fixed his eyes on the phone screen. This was the last number he expected to call him at this time.The phone number was an exclusive private number that belonged to only one person and Chris didn’t need to guess who that person was since it was none other than his master and the man who raised him from childhood, James Wade.Without further delay, he picked up the call. “I thought we agreed that you were never going to contact me." He confronted the caller as soon as he placed the phone in his ear. His voice was now very cold.‘I don't remember saying that I would never call. I just told you not to expect my call,” James retorted wittingly.Chris was unable to provide an argument because James' words were indeed true.“Why are you calling me now?.....I can't help but feel very uncomfortable about having a conversation with you at the moment." Chris queried straightforwardly.“You catch on real quick boy.” James laughed before he continued speaking. “I heard the White family finally approach you," James asked.Chris' eyes widened in shock. He wasn't surprised that James had already found out about his encounter with Elias which occurred a few hours ago. After all, James was the leader of the world's most formidable private mercenary organization.However, he was flustered that he was unable to sense anyone spying on him“It seems like my skills have become a bit rusty that I couldn't tell that you have been spying on me," he remarked.“No, I wasn’t spying on you. It would have been a pointless effort anyway. I was able to find out about it only because your father contacted me.” James confessed.Chris received another shock as soon as he heard James' response. His eyes furrowed deeply forming a deep frown on his face and he questioned James in a hoarse voice.“What did you just say?!..... Don't tell me that you two have been in contact all along? ”“Calm down, boy. I know what you're thinking but I can assure you that it's nothing like that. “ James hurriedly explained knowing fully well that Chris would be feeling outraged at the moment.“What were you expecting?” Chris snapped impatiently. “I’m in Brooklyn now. I'll send you an address so come find me. I'll explain everything to you when you get here.”“Fine, I'll be there right away and you better have a reasonable explanation prepared.” Chris deadpanned before hanging up the call.Currently, he was in a state of disbelief and confused about why both his master and father were in contact.No, that wasn't the important question at this point. Chris was much more curious about understanding how Charles White, his father and current patriarch of the white family knew about his relationship with James. The white family might be very influential but Olympus was also a very classified organization which was impossible to infiltrate.Chris was starting to think that he had been fooled all along.After being thrown out of the White family at the age of fifteen and being homeless, It was James who had taken him in and prevented him from living on the streets. Hence, he didn't want to start entertaining thoughts of being betrayed by the man that had literally raised, trained, educated and treated him like a son.He took a cab after getting the text from James that contained the address.*******It took Chris no longer than thirty minutes to arrive at his destination which was a luxurious restaurant. As soon as he entered the building he caught sight of a familiar figure sitting at a secluded table inside the restaurant.Without hesitation, he walked towards the table and occupied one of the empty seats at the table.“Start talking now.” Chris demanded in a commanding tone.“Impudent brat! Shouldn't you at least greet your master who traveled a long distance for the sake of his unfilial student?'' James muttered, his voice filled with sadness.“I'm really not in the mood for such pleasantries. You know how much I hate the White family so stop messing around with me.”"That's why I was surprised you refused to go back. Isn't this a good opportunity for you to take everything they own?"A ugly frown appeared on Chris' face. He was disgusted by the idea of being a member of the White family again.”I have no interest in the affairs of that family and neither do I want to meddle in it.”James chuckled and placed a slice of the steak he had ordered in his mouth and chewed the meat before giving a response to Chris. “Apparently, it turns out that Charles has never thought the same and hopes that you return back to the family.”“When did you make contact with my father and why did you keep it away from me until now?” Chris questioned interrogatively, staring intently at James.“Have you ever wondered why I specifically approached you?!.... As a top high ranking member of Olympus you clearly know that we don't easily bring in outsiders but I did so anyway," James stated and sipped his wine this time around.“What are you insinuating?” Chris asked.“What I'm telling you is that I did everything because your father begged me to do so. His position in the White family was unstable at that time and getting rid of his weakness was the only way to protect you.” James casually revealed in a casual manner. “Although, I still wouldn't have done it even if he begged me a thousand times over but my conscience couldn't let me abandon you on the streets. Still, it doesn't change the fact that your father cared about you more than you know.”Chris was astounded and his body felt stiff as if a bucket of cold water was poured all over him.All these years he held a deep grudge for the White family, especially his father, only to finally realize that he had misjudged a lot of things.The shadow of a figure suddenly covered the table while Chris was still lost in his deep thoughts. He looked up at the face standing next to the table and was surprised to find Elias. “You, what are you doing here?"“I invited him to come over,” James responded even before Elias could speak. “ Christian, You have to return back to the White household because your father needs you the most now.” he added, trying to cajole Chris in order to urge him to chase his mind.At this point, Chris was very hesitant to give a response because he just couldn't return to Washington DC where the White estate was situated and abandon Eva, his wife. It was difficult to ask her to come along with him because he hadn't thought of a way to explain he was a member of the White Family.Aside from that, there were still other problems that needed serious consideration.This was truly a dilemma,“I can’t go back now even if I wanted to." Chris said."And why is that?...There shouldn't be anything stopping you."Chris rolled his eyes at James. "Whose idea was it that I got married in the first place?...Are you expecting to abandon my wife and just disappear without an explanation?""And I clearly remembered how much you were against the idea at that time but I guess you've finally grown some affection for that child." James teased. "It seems like I lost the bet with Catherine."Chris shrugged. "It happens.""Bring her along then." James suggested straightforwardly."You make it sound like it's supposed to be easy. How do you propose I explain to her?. Moreover, she might be put in danger if she joins the White family now.""Secondly, I haven't fully recovered from that injury. I'm still being targeted so I'll also put myself in danger since I would also be exposed if I return to the White family now."Chris stated as he wasn't willing to risk his safety and that of Eva for the sake of helping the White family."Master Chris, I understand your worries and I shall relay them to the Patriarch. This matter isn't beyond the control of the White family so I'm sure that we can come up with a solution by the end of the day."

It was evening by the time Chris returned back to the small colonial house he lived in with Eva and her parents included. This place was where he lived but was not so homey because the atmosphere was always engulfed with tension. Since neither of Eva’s parents have liked him very much. As soon as Chris walked into the living room he was greeted with the loud raging voice of Kate, his mother-in-law “You idiots. How dare you have the guts to come to this place, huh?

The next morning, Chris received a text message from James. He got out of bed and went to carry out his chores and made breakfast before he left the house while driving his old electric scooter. His destination was the same restaurant he had gone to meet James the previous day. Upon his arrival, he found James seated at the same table but this time around he wasn't alone. Seated next to James was a young man who looked to be in his mid twenties. “You're late.” James queried as Chris sat right in front of him. “Unlike someone who always has everything prepared for him every morning, I on the other hand had chores that must be attended to.” Chris retorted with a sarcastic smile. “I never knew your life had become so miserable. Who would have imagined that a warlord like yourself would become a houseboy?” James remarked and sipped the coffee in front of him. “Tell me about it.” Chris said nonchalantly and pointed at the young man sitting next to James. “Who is he?” “This is Etha

As soon as he saw the bleeding car driver he recognized him as the son of Pegasus Enterprise general manager, Mark Collins “Sir Mark, are you alright?” in a concerned tone the guards hurriedly rushed to help Mark get back to his feet. “Where the hell have you idiot been?” Mark groaned while covering his bleeding nose.

The security guards were taken aback by Elliot’s action and wondered if he had gone senile. Although they hadn't met the chairman yet but they believed he couldn't be Chris who was dressed as a poor beggar.“Mr. Brown, I think you're mistaken. This person isn't the chairman. He's just a hoodlum causing trouble in our company and we were just about to chase him out.” The head of security tried to explain.A frown immediately appeared on Elliot’s face. He raised back up and kicked the head of the security guards on his knees. “Fool! How dare you call the Chairman a hoodlum. Do you wish to die! Is this how you morons have been running this company all along?” He yelled.All the security officers instantly froze in shock as if a bucket of cold water had just been dropped on them. Was this person truly the chairman?

Initially, they had assumed that the company now belonged to the Brown family since they were sending a member of their family to manage the operation of the company. However, it turns out that wasn't the case and it made them even began to wonder about Chris identity.“Mr. Brown, you are mistaken. This is person surely can't be the chairman.” Anthony said with a scoff and continued speaking. “He is just a lowly scum that trespassed into our compound and dated to assault our employees. I'll ……”Anthony was unable to complete his sentence before he was slapped across the face by Elliot..“You are such a dumb imbecile! Like father like son.

Elliot swallowed the saliva in his mouth. The longer the conversation becomes the more Chris seems more scary. It had only been a day but it was easy for him to gather enough background information about him. Chris took his cellphone and placed it on the desk. “Have a look at it!” Hesitantly, Elliot moved closer to the desk to pick up the phone. Another bombshell was dropped on him as soon as he read the contents on the phone. “Sir, this…..this is.” “Yes, they are a series of evidence of the recent embezzlement that some of your older cousins have committed in the past few years. I'm sure that you also have a bigger dream and it would be easy to bring down many of your competitors with that evidence in your hand.” “However, it's not for free. I know they must have given you a private mission to keep a close watch on me. It is not possible to keep a mole next to me so I am going to give you a chance to choose who you wish to serve from this moment onward.” Elliot was flustered a

The Carters owned several fancy, modern homes in some of Brooklyn’s exquisite areas and several members of the family had occupied these homes. Unlike these people, Eva and her parents lived in much older buildings and farther away. As a result, it always took Eva a longer period of time to commute to work everyday compared to her other relatives who lived closer to the business district. Seeing that Eva was ignoring him with an aloof expression, Eric was infuriated and became more aggressive.“Tsk…You should just quit if you no longer have any interest in working anymore. Personally, I would prefer that you wouldn't step foot inside this company ever again. Your family has become a terrible stigma to the reputation of our family so it's best we just get rid of you.” “I suggest that it's best if you stay at home taking care of your crippled father and play housewife to that loser. Leave management of the company to the rest of us. Don't worry, you'll keep receiving your annuals d

After leaving Pegasus Enterprise,Chris went around town running some simple errands so he returned back to the Carter residence at night. As soon as he walked into the house, he saw his mother-in-law, Kate seated on the sofa with a bag of chips in her hands while his father-in-law was busy watching the TV. “Where the hell have you been all day? I have been starving and have resorted to munching a bag of chips. Is this how you plan to get rid of me?” Kate challenged Chris in an impatient tone, her expression disgruntled in irritation. “I'm really sorry, mom. I didn't mean to take so long before coming back but I had so many important matters to take care of.” “Save it!” Kate snapped, waving her hand at Chris' face. “I don't wish to hear the silly excuses you have. Besides, what Kind of business could a bum like you possibly have to deal with outside. Are you trying to starve us to death? No wonder everyone calls you a good for nothing when you can even properly take care of a si

Ethan, who had been waiting by the car, caught sight of her vehicle disappearing into the distance. “Let's head to Cross Corporation.” Chris said As soon as he stepped into the car. Ethan turned to him. "Sir, I just saw the madam's car." Chris’s gaze snapped toward him. "Where?" "She just drove past the hotel. She saw you with Emma." Chris’s brows furrowed. "Follow her." Ethan immediately started the car and pulled out into traffic, but the city’s congestion worked against them. Within minutes, they lost her. Chris clenched his jaw, irritation flickering in his sharp eyes. "Head straight to the mansion," he ordered, hoping she had gone home. But when they arrived, Eva was nowhere to be found but Kate and Bruce were in the house. “You are back home early today?” Kate said with a hint of sarcasm in her tone. Chris ignored her nagging. “Isn't Eva home yet?” “No, she is probably still at work. Do you think everyone is as jobless and irresponsible as you? Kate retorted. For

About an hour ago, Chris leaned back in his leather chair, his fingers drumming lightly against the polished desk of Pegasus Enterprise. The floor-to-ceiling windows of his office reflected the golden hues of the late afternoon sun, casting long shadows across the luxurious space. He had just finished reviewing a high-profile acquisition deal, but his mind was elsewhere. Eva. He knew he had failed to pick her up the previous evening. It was a minor misstep, but one he didn’t want to repeat. Their relationship was a delicate balance—one he wasn’t willing to tip over. He glanced at his watch. There was still time before Eva was scheduled to leave the Carter estate, but there was another obligation he had to tend to first. Standing, Chris grabbed his suit jacket and slipped it on with effortless precision. "Ethan," he called as he stepped out of his office. Ethan, who had been waiting outside, straightened immediately. "Sir?" "Prepare the car. I’m stopping by the hotel before he

A few murmurs of agreement rippled through the room. Eva’s gaze sharpened, already sensing Eric’s intention to undermine her. She exhaled slowly, keeping her voice calm yet firm. "I find it amusing that you’re concerned about punctuality when this very meeting was only possible because of the business deals I secured for this family. Or would you prefer to discuss the countless contracts I’ve personally overseen that have elevated the Carter name?" Eric’s smirk faltered for a fraction of a second, but he quickly recovered. "Of course, we acknowledge your contributions. But it isn’t enough. You still have many other responsibilities to the family and as head you need to set an example." Eva folded her arms. "Oh? Do enlighten me." Eric leaned forward, his gaze gleaming with false sincerity. " You know this would have been much easier if you didn't have to drive all the way here.Why don’t you relocate the Carter family to your current mansion? It’s extravagant and more than spacious

Back in her room, Eva leaned against the door, her hands balled into fists. She groaned in embarrassment, not sure about what she just did. Her mind was a storm of emotions—confusion, frustration, pain. The sight of that lipstick stain haunted her. Her stomach twisted at the mere thought of Chris with another woman. She had spent the entire day yearning for his presence, regretting how she had treated him… only to now be met with something that shattered her fragile resolve. Was she really being foolish? Had she been longing for someone who had already moved on? She shut her eyes, inhaling sharply. This feeling—this uneasiness gnawing at her—was unbearable. But there was nothing she could do about it. Not right now. As the night deepened, Eva lay awake, staring at the ceiling, her heart aching with emotions she didn’t know how to handle. And Chris, on the other side of the mansion, was just as restless—completely unaware of the storm brewing in Eva’s heart. T

“Where have you been all day, Chris?” Kate’s voice rang through the house. “Do you even know what time it is? You think that you can. Just come and go as you please” Chris’s voice was calm, composed. “I had things to take care of, Mother.” “Oh, so you disappear for days, come back whenever you please, and don’t even think to explain?” “I’m sorry, Mother. I didn’t mean to worry you.” Kate scoffed. “Do you even care about this family? About Eva?” Eva clenched her fists. Why did Mom always have to bring me into everything? Chris remained patient. “I do care, Mother. But I had no choice. I had something important to handle.” Kate exhaled sharply. “You better not bring trouble to this house, Christopher.” Chris didn’t respond. He quietly climbed the stairs. Then came the sound of footsteps. Eva barely had time to react before she noticed Chris making his way up the stairs. Her heart pounded. Would he come to her room? Would he apologize? But instead, he walked straight past her

The golden hue of the setting sun bathed the Cross Corporation building in a soft glow as employees exited the towering glass structure in waves. Eva Carter stepped through the revolving doors, her heart pounding with quiet anticipation. Her gaze instinctively swept across the bustling street, searching for the familiar sleek black car that Chris always parked near the curb. But he wasn’t there. She frowned, gripping the strap of her handbag tightly. Maybe he’s running late. It wouldn’t be the first time Chris had kept her waiting due to work, but he always showed up. Always. Minutes ticked by. First five. Then ten. The occasional rush of a car passing by barely distracted her from the growing tightness in her chest. She took a deep breath, pushing away the creeping unease that threatened to settle. He’ll come. He has to. But when thirty minutes passed with no sign of him, the bitter taste of disappointment curled on her tongue. She felt like a fool standing there, waiting. No ca

Dexter was also equally confused, he was now sweating in fear but he still tried to regain control. “Mr. Landon, I assure you, this is just a misunderstanding—” Before he could finish, Felix turned and slapped him across the face. The entire room froze. Dexter stumbled, eyes wide in shock. “S-Sir?” Felix’s gaze was ice-cold. “You don’t touch people under my protection.” Dexter’s lips trembled. He had underestimated the weight of Chris’s connections. Chris leaned back in his chair, watching with amusement. “How dare you?....How dare you disrespect Mr.chris?....I’m going to see to it that you no longer have the liberty to conduct any more business in Brooklyn by the time I'm through with you.” Dexter was confused and could only drop to his knees instantly and bow his head in shame as he wondered how Chris was connected to the Landon family. “I'm sorry sir….I'm really sorry sir. I wasn't aware that Mr. Chris was a friend to the Landon family. I would not have acted disrespectfu

Dexter’s grin faltered for the first time. His eyes darted to his hidden dealer, who subtly signaled that his hand wasn’t as strong as he thought. For the first time, uncertainty flickered in Dexter’s expression. But his pride wouldn’t let him back down. “All in,” he snarled. The dealer flipped the final two cards—King of Spades and a Nine of Spades. Chris had hit a Royal Flush—the highest possible hand. The room erupted into murmurs. Dexter’s face turned pale as he realized he had walked right into a trap. Chris leaned back, crossing his arms. “Looks like I win.” Dexter’s hands clenched into fists. “You… you cheated.” Chris tilted his head. “Cheating? You would know all about that, wouldn’t you?” Ethan chuckled. “Boss, looks like the casino manager isn’t used to losing.” Dexter slammed his fists onto the table. “I won’t let this slide.” Chris’s eyes darkened. “A deal is a deal. You don’t want to go back on your word now, do you?” Dexter ground his teeth. He did expect t

To be honest, Chris had recognized Dexter the moment they locked eyes with one another. However, he acted otherwise hoping that the situation would become less complicated. “You damn bastard!....I told you we were going to meet again but who would have thought that you would actually dare to come into the casino all by yourself.” “You are getting yourself in this issue just like you did last time we met.” “What do you expect? I can't just stand by and watch your injustice.” “Fine. If you want to do that You want to pay off her debt? Let’s make it fun.” Dexter’s grin widened. “I have seen your fighting skills and I admit that you are good but let's find out if that applies to something else. I suggest a round of poker if you are confident in your skills.” Chris’s gaze didn’t waver. “I don’t play games I can’t win.” “What are the odds of the game?” Let’s make this interesting. Since we both have something at stake, let’s raise the buy-in.” Chris raised an eyebrow. “How much?”
