"The time we all have been waiting for is finally here. It will be an honor for this organization to present the Emperor's award to the one very bigshot in this house. The reason why this prize is called the Emperor's award is simply because this organization is one that is strong enough to feed a country. Please welcome me as I call upon the CEO of…" The host said then kept quiet and everyone couldn't help but be on edge on their seats, well it was most of them.Harry stared at everyone who seemed nervous for the announcement then shook his head and stared at the host with an arrogant look on his face."Since the Figiolo got the Grand prize. It isn't shocking to know the fact that my company will be the one to take the emperor's prize," Harry said with a smirk on his face. His assistant stared at him for a while then frowned and said."Sir, our income can't feed a country," He interrupted his thoughts and Harry frowned and flashed him a look of displeasure."Will you stop talking non
"You are disgusting, when will you learn, you this disgusting bigger, I bet you will leave her also once you reap off her money, who let a poor beggar like you enter, the security aren't doing their job,they should have thrown you out of this place." Stephanie said with disgust evident in her voice, turning to Alice, "He will leave you after he exploit money from you; leave him now before you regret it later, or I won't be surprised if you go broke later." Stephanie said coldly. People directed their gaze to Christian. Christian seemed unmoved by Stephanie's harsh words. "Is he really a gold digger?I really can't believe this. He dressed well and he looked so nice. I even envied Alice because she has a good looking partner," someone said from the crowd. "He is really disgusting,how dare a beggar like him act like one of us." "You have a pretty face, though; how about I be your sugar mummy for tonight," a lady said, and everyone busted into laughter except Alice. "Don't mind her, y
Silence took over as Christian held the phone and placed it on his left ear."Oho! Who do we have here? I thought you wouldn't pick the call," A cold baritone voice sounded from the phone which was then followed by a soft sigh."When will you return to the underworld and challenge me? I've been waiting far too long don't you think?" The voice continued without a care In the world. He didn't bother to hear if the person that picked the call was Christian or not."Anyways, bye. I'll be waiting for you in the Vertice of Gods. Maybe by then we can have a little chat about life, adios!" He said then hung up the call. Christian stood there for a while , his brain tried to register what just happened and it took him a few seconds to realize that the call had ended.He stared at the caller's ID then tried to call the number but all he got was that the number doesn't exist."Which old man is trying to play a prank on me?" He muttered, his brows furrowed slightly then he shook his head and shov
At the same time. Christian walked out of the venue with a calm look on his face as he waited patiently for Stanley to come pick him up.He had already told him about where he would be and the young man asked him to wait a few minutes and he would be there."So… you are leaving?" Just at that moment, Alice's soft voice sounded behind him prompting him to place his phone in his pocket and turn towards her direction."Yes," He calmly replied and didn't say anything after that."You are such a mystery man," She said, then smiled and stood before him_ a few inches away from him. Christian would feel her breath on his face and that was when he noticed that she was drunk and as he realized that a frown appeared on his face and somehow that deja Vu feeling brushed against him."History does repeat itself in the most unexpected way," He muttered then slowly backed away."You knew you can't handle alcohol and yet you still drink them," He sighed heavily then took out his phone and prepared to
Two days after the event a lot of things happened and the media made sure to do their jobs and keep the most trending news. One of them happened to be Rolando's company, Stephanie's company."What do you mean our sales are dropping drastically every second?!" Stephanie screamed frantically and banged her hands on the table without a care in the world. There were too dark lines under her eyes as though she hadn't slept for days, and that was the truth.'It's because of that foolish man I called my ex husband that is the reason why I am in this mess!' She screamed frantically in her head then closed her eyes to collect herself."What should we do?" She stuttered and stared at her assistant who at times has a split personality depending on the mood she is in."We face the consequences of your action ma'am," She smiled then walked over and submitted a document on the table."Here, in there are the records of all the business partners the former CEO of this place was able to gather and fro
"What's it Stanley?" Christian slowly removed his gaze from the documents he was going through and stared at Stanley who had been sighing nonstop since the time he got inside the office."It's nothing sir," He replied then lowered his head and sighed again."Speak," Christian frowned and unknowingly commanded. Stanley stared at him for a while then took out a box and placed it on the table in front of him and at the same time pushed a white envelope to him."And?" Christian's brows shot at him and the confusion in his eyes showed that he wasn't expecting any of this."Is this your resignation letter?" He added then glared at the envelope then back to Stanley who looked a little startled."Wh-?! No, no sir it isn't. This envelope was sent to you by lady Alice. She wanted to apologize for what happened but couldn't meet you because of the restrictions and you aren't answering your phone and such she had no choice than to send this letter… I never wanted to take it from her but_," He gul
"Quickly someone should save the young lady!""Call 911!""Damn it, what are you doing? Can't you see the fuel on the ground?""Oh Lord, the car is about to catch fire. Quickly save the woman!"…'Is this the end of me? What's going on? How did I end up in this situation?' Alice tried opening her eyes to see where she was but it felt as though her body had shut down. She couldn't move and couldn't speak.The strong stench of fuel filled her nostrils and a strong metallic taste assaulted her mouth.Help!She screamed frantically until she finally lost consciousness.The familiar sound of an electronic peeping slowly woke her up and the sound of hurried footsteps sounded In her ears. She tried to open her eyes but couldn't and had no other choice than to listen to the words said around her."Quickly give me the scissors," A deep voice said anxiously."Here sir!""Sir, her pulse is weak. I don't think we can give her this surgery," A woman replied with fear in her voice."Damn it! We hav
Christian dashed into the hospital, walking up to the receptionist. He asked the receptionist Alice’s Ward number and was directed to the second floor.The hospital was vibrant as the air reeked of ethanol mixed with perfumes and Cologne.Christian took the elevator to the second floor, scanning every room for Alice’s ward number as soon as he got off.The nurse told him it was Ward 223 so, when he saw a door with the Ward number attached to it, he instantly reached for the handle and scurried into the room.Two doctors and three nurses were standing before a lifeless body covered in blood and a doctor was performing CPR on her.It was Alice, her face was pale as if all the blood had being drained out of her.Christian walked towards Alice, accessing her properly and turning to face the doctors.“Whats the situation?”He asked, his forehead forming creases.“Honestly, we don’t know, sir. She is loosing too much blood and we are unable to operate on her due to her open chest. We have t
