Angela sat quietly inside the hospital ward waiting for her mother to finally wake up. Earlier,she knocked on Edward's door to inform him about the miracle that happened suddenly,how the bills was suddenly cleared by an unknown person,but he wasn't home.Examining her mother,Angela could see her mother's fingers moving gently,and slowly her eyelids lifted open.She opening her eyes didn't came as a surprise for Angela,her eyes was always opened but couldn't blink or move at all. What surprised Angela was the fact that her mother was able to move her fingers."Mom?" Angela called out,unsure whether she was cured or not.After few seconds of waiting,Angela's mom finally spoke slowly,"A..ngela"Hearing her mom call her name,Angela hugged her and began to let out tears of joy.The entrance door swung open,and Angela's dad walked in dressed in his sheriff uniform. Mr Alvarez has been working all through the day because of the Vice Mayor's murder earlier,all sheriff's were given extra tasks
The late night moon was already out,Brickwoods folks remained indoors to avoid crossing paths with a gang.Thunder rumbling and rain falline heavily,Walking through the dark streets,Edward's eyes were glued to his phone as he used google map to take him to his location.Edward has his hoodie covering his head,shielding him from the rain and a bag in his hand.Edward stopped by an Atm and withdrew some cash just incase. [Debit alert: $200,000]Edward placed the money into the bag and continued walking.After what seemed like forever,Edward finally arrived at the location.The place was less than half of what Edward anticipated. All he could see was an incompleted building with two reasonably large men standing guard.Edward gathred up some courage and began to approach the men. At first he was scared when he spotted gun in the men hand,but after realizing this place wasn't run by gangs,he approached them."Good evening Boys." Edward greeted,trying hard to make his voice deep and rugg
Mr Alvarez and his daughter,Angela,arrived back home from the hospital. Mr Alvarez went to see the doctor earlier to ask questions about who settled the bills. But the doctor wasn't too sure who the person was.All she knew was the strange man was wearing a black tattered hoodie that blocked his face."Where did you get all this?" Mr Alvarez asked,noticing the bag of food stuffs in Angela's hand."Edward bought it for us earlier." Angela replied with a smile, "He's so generous."Mr Alvarez too his time to digest what he had just heard. Edward?. The same Edward that come to them to beg for food?. How is he able to afford this?."You don't have to worry,dad." Angela spoke further,noticing the worried expression on her dad's face, "He told me it was part of his salary he has been saving. He just decided to go shopping today and also bought us few things.""In that case,i should go and say thank you to him." Mr Alvarez spoke,making his way out of the room.It only took few steps to arrive
Lexi stood there in the dark arena,glancing at the strange man as he walks off. After Edward was out of sight,she shifted her gaze to the bag and took out the small business card inside."Edward Morgan." Lexi read the name on the card and other information. She read it,expecting to see the name of a big company or gang,but there was non of that.If Edward was the Ceo of a big company or the leader of a well known gang,it would explain where he got such huge amount of money from.Lexi didn't want to think too much about it so she began to head out to her destination.****After few minutes of walking,she arrived at her home. A small bungalow with tattered paints and environment. The house was the only thing her family left her before they died.She unlocked the door and stepped in,taking off her jacket and throwing it on the couch. She walked into the room,where her little sister laid down shivering.Lexi's little sister,Nora,grew up with a strange type of sickness. Lexi's mother and f
Glancing at the message,Edward was surprised who the sender was. Ofcourse he expected her to reach out to him,but didn't expected it to be this soon.'Strange.' Edward mused,putting his phone away and laying back down after replying the text.(Brickwoods parking lot,6pm.)****The morining sun rose and Edward sluggishly woke up with bags under his eyes. He arrived home by 2am in the morning,and after receiving Lexi's text,he found it hard to sleep.He kept on wondering what she wanted so soon,and also trying to come up with an approach that would speak maturity. If he needed to convince her to join his gang,he had to let her know he was mature.Not everyone agrees to join a gang just becsuse of the huge some of money the gang was offering. Some joined for protection,also for popularity. If Edward was to behave like an imature person,Lexi might just hesitate to join,concluding Edward only has money and won't be able to offer protection.Getting out of bed,Edward walked into the bathroo
Edward main goal for saying those words was to get Malcolm angry. He overheard the speech Malcolm gave in the church and how he planned to fire every officer in Brickwoods once he becomes the vice mayor.Fireing every officer means Mr.Alvarez would also lose his job and things would go from bad to worse for Angela.So he thought of a way of how to prevent it,and only solution was to hinder Malcolm from becoming the vice mayor.Saying those words to piss off Malcolm,Malcolm had to choice than to attack him infront of everyone. Neescasters and journalists were all present,taking record of the scene that just happened.Everyone believed Malcolm just attacked Edward simply because he offered his condolences. No one heard the words Edward spoke to get Malcolm angry.If news gets out,everyone would see Malcolm as an irresponsible boy who's not fit to occupy the role as the vice mayor. Who seriously attacks someone just because he offered his condolences.Realizing what he had done,Malcolm f
The shiny black mercedes benz drove into the luxirious compound of the vice mayor. By the right hand of the compound,a swimming pool was located,while on the left side layed a decent garden. The Mercedes benz pulled over infront of the luxurious house,stepping out of the car,Malcolm rushed in angrily.Malcolm threw grabbed a bottle of scoth and threw himself on the couch. His fist clenched as he remembers the incident earlier."That damn bastard!" Malcolm shouted,slaming the bottle on the tiled floor,causing it to shatter to pieces."It's not really a big deal,darling." Kate said,walking towards Malcolm."It's not a big deal,really?!" Malcolm snapped,grabbing the remote and switching on the Tv."The Vice mayor's son known as Malcolm,attacked a civilian simply because he offered his condolences. Citizens around Brickwoods are questioning whether Malcolm is fit to become the vice mayor." The tv reporter said."You can't let that worry you." Kate spoke, "Let them say all what they want.
Lexi, what if I told you that you could receive $50,000 a month, along with some tips to boost your spirits? All you'd need to do is join my organization," Edward proposed."What do you mean 'Join your organization'?" Lexi inquired with a confused expression."You see,like i said earlier,i am a trillioniare in disguise." Edward explained, "I'm loaded,but i can't spend,not until i have powerful people backing me. And after i watched your fight yesterday, i knew i had to recruit you.""Why can't you spend when you have the money?" Lexi asked."That i cannot say." Edward replied, "So what do you say? Join my gang and live the rest of your life in affluent,or walk away and go back to your miserable life?" Edward proposed.Lexi stood there in silence,contemplating the choice she should make. She already promised Salim that she would join his gang when he lends her the money,but now that Salim boys took more than what she owed,it would be possible to withdraw her promise and not join.But s
