Chapter 19: Noah
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56As he woke up in the bright sun coming from the window, he allowed his eyes to wide open as his hand rummaged to see where he was. Darius only remembered last night he was mad at Ryan and went to drink at a pub.
Yesterday his day went quite hard as he had to go to the police station thanks to that jerk who claimed all of his father’s fortune as a settlement money. He could give him a good beating to ask for that money ever again. But his father was there, he can’t act rashly, making him in a rather difficult place. But when he went back home, he noticed the door of his apartment was not locked. As he walked in, the lights were on, reminding him Ryan might have come back.
And he did. He walked to his bed with a glass of hot milk right in front of Darius, but he seemed to not notice him yet. As Darius walked inside, he noticed a package from the café where he worked. The fragrance of pecan pie and chocolate came, the same as he sme

Stacey stuffed the magazine into one of his brother’s drawer while she noticed Darius nibbling on the sandwich, his face pale in panic of being in a stranger’s house. She walked out of the room to bring some milk as she forgot it when she saw his brother coming in the room she looked up at him and left. He walked in casually to his own room. Last night, he had to sleep on the couch outside. Noah plopped on the soft bed of his beside him. Darius was utterly shocked at the sight of this guy in front of him. The sandwich hanging from his mouth dropped on the plate. The very person he felt uncomfortable about last night now was sitting in front of him and, most probably, he himself was in this guy’s room. He still can’t forget the grin on his face last night as he went with that guy. It was very much clear what he had done there with that old fart. As the sandwich fell down his mouth, Noah smirked, looking at the bitten sandwich. He snatched
He Left With Nothing Chapter 21: Have to pay or not?
Ryan woke up in a jolt to hear his phone ringing vigorously inside his blanket. Last night after Darius left abruptly before he could stop him, he pondered about texting him, but his fingers stopped every moment he wanted to press the send buttons. Unsure of what to say, what to be sorry for, his mind went blank. Why was he mad? Is it because he didn’t come home all night? But he can’t say the truth. He might explode at Linda for inviting me and doing that. Well, he remembered he didn’t tell him about today too. The whole day with him gone without letting him know must have made him angry this much. He kept on typing and deleting the messages before sending to Darius just when he received a message in that night time from Ashton, his boss, from the car washing shop. His heart sank at the sight of his text. After that day, that rich
He Left With Nothing Chapter 22: Friends, they are
The door swung as both Ryan and Ashton noticed a colossal figure coming in. Ryan peeking between Ashton’s arms as Ashton pressed his shoulders down to glue him with the chair, not letting him stand, in case he falls again. But as Ashton turned his face to see his long awaited friend Luke, his eyes widened to see the least expected person in his shop. The guy with a bulky build walked in, his steps getting slower and face twisting as he saw Ryan and his boss in an awkward position, thinking he might have disturbed their private time. “Owen?” Ryan mumbled, sitting on the chair underneath Ashton, still pressing his shoulders down as he heard him mumble, shocked to know they know each other. “You know him, Ryan?” he looked down to his pinkish face, which turned a dark shade of pink as Ryan remembered his embarrassing encounter with him last time. Ashton backed away, thinking he made him uneasy. “Should I leave now? Guess you’re busy doing s
He Left With Nothing Chapter 23: Regret
Owen Davenport, everyone in the industry, knew his name. The future CEO of the Davenport Co, his dear father, will entitle the company to him which he very much despises. Yet he had to suffer all the humiliation of not taking care of his father’s precious company, made him annoyed at every moment his father called him to talk about it. This time, also in the midst of some cute texts from his newly made friend, he received one of his father’s text message, “Come home at 4 sharp. We need to talk,” even his texts were boring as hell, which made his lips curve downward, upsetting him as much as he hates his father. Ten minutes left to clock ticking at 4, he descended at the Davenport mansion, frown all over his face as the very first person he saw in his house was Mrs. Davenport, his step mother gossiping and bragging about a ring her husband brought from Paris. He could barely tolerate David and his annoying sister, but their mother was another breed of s
He Left With Nothing Chapter 24: Proposal
The night sky illuminated the moonlight across the street as the freezing wind blew through the path. The shop keeper of the flower shop nearby shivered as the cold gust blew her pink scarf, making her puffy cheeks pink, her silky hair fleeting with the air alongside her shawl waving upon her embroidered calf length gown. Her sandals clicking at the soft rhythm she made while running towards the end of the street, her eyes brightened to see her other half waving at her. A married woman in her thirties, her age, flickered at the slight wrinkles at both of the corners of her eyes. Her husband was waiting for her in the distance. Delighted to see him, she sped up when she noticed two young guys coming out of the café near the end of the lane. She knew both of them, Ryan who lives next block and the handsome young man, around in his twenties, walked out of his shop, locking the front door. As she waved at her husband with her gleamin
He Left With Nothing Chapter 25: Who's under the bed?
The dim room lit up at the light coming through the table lamp. Wind blowing the curtains hanging on the window, which looked like they were embracing each other. Outside was gloomy as well. The night had fallen; the moon shone brighter than anything. Luke walked in to the dimly lit room, his heavy feet dragging themselves against the hard floor, with each step thumping on it. His loose brown trousers waving along the room as he halted in front of the mirror right next to the window, his hands rubbing against his cheek, which were slightly red, standing in front of there. He didn’t bother lighting up the room as it was already night and the place was not pitch dark. The curtains flickered at the sight of him as if they were admiring the beauty of his sharp jaw on his diamond face glowing in the dark. They went back to their window sill resting themselves as the breeze subsided down and Luke took the chance to shut the windows as icy wind slammed on his
He Left With Nothing Chapter 26: Pillow struck
As Luke sweated all over his chest even in this winter, the blankets slid off as he gulped down a whole glass of water in a blink. A black long hand with pointy fingers came out of his bed underneath crawling down, which creeped him so much that the water in hi smooth froze. His eyes widened to see the hand as the room was dark with a streak of light coming from the window. His heart raced. He slowly gulped down the water stuck in his mouth, locking his eyes on the thing slithering down as he noticed another same pointy hand came out following the former which tried coming out. Fear struck, Luke couldn’t even move as his whole body felt stiff from this sudden entity coming out of his bed like some giant monster was hiding down. The room was too gloomy to see clearly how those monstrosities moved as he breathed heavily, shaking in fear. His hands trembled to grab the bed sheet, clutching them tightly when his other hand rustling t
He Left With Nothing Chapter 27: Happy Birthday
Ryan walked down the alley, radiantly shining through the bright sunshine as his hands waving with the rhythm of his whistle. His face as bright as the sun shining above, his feet felt like dancing along each step he took. His joy multiplied as Ashton informed him in the early morning that he won’t open the shop today, so the entire afternoon he was free.A cellphone on his left hand lit up with notification sound when his smile beamed even more. Eyes sparkling, fixed on the screen, he tapped swiftly to reply. He was about to collide on old man but noticed him on time to visit the collision with an apologetic look.The street was bustling with the crowd in the morning, the flower shop as usual with no apparent customer gracefully laid in the middle of that street while the album store right beside was so crowded people could barely see inside. Perhaps some famous artist was giving out signed copy. He shrugged and walked on his

“We apologize for what happened. Stan Welsh, reportedly, was sighted in the other area and we fastened security there, but never thought it could be a trap.” Said a bulky police officer in his tidy uniform. Owen and Jim stood on either side of him, listening to him carefully. Jim furrowed his eyebrows to hear him being a murderer. “Stan was on run for several months from the mental facility. At first they hushed up the case, but later they admitted their negligence and were punished for that. He had been hiding with one of his friend whom he later killed by stabbing with a sharp piece of glass. And he dumped his body in the river after it decomposed. Neighbors complained about smell, but he scared them off.” The officer sighed to see Jim’s widened eyes, while Owen looked miserable. Jim saw Amy behind the officer, running towards them when the officer asked for his leave. He nodded, and Amy joined them. “How is he?” “Doctor said. He’s fine. Just lost too much blood and when we found

His doorbell rang as he combed his silvery hairs down to his temples. Looking excited, the person he expected all day had come and on time. The sky illuminated the dusky glow with the setting sun. His heart thumped. It was like a dream. He slapped his cheeks to get out of it, but was glad to see it was real.Ryan walked confidently to the door. This time was different. They had no feud, no disagreement, and they were just going to reconcile officially with whatever dispute they had before. The memory lane of the day he confessed came down to him. The face, he remembered, the stone face insulting his feelings. But it was a long ago.He should not dwell on that painful past and accept this present like a god sent gift. His steps staggered near the door. He took a deep breath and opened the door, his face delighted to think he was meeting him.But the moment he opened the door, his eyes found a strange man peeking at him, a man in his forties, a face
He Left With Nothing Chapter 61: Linda's last favor
Chapter 61: Linda’s last favorThe hall filled with gloomy conspiracies of how Natalie must have killed her husband and attempted to kill his son too, just for his wealth, and stepped back from her any chance they got. Natalie glared around those people gossiping and found her daughter in a stunning white dress in the crowd, glaring at her. She never saw this kind of look on her face. It was disgust, a pure disgust that Natalie had never received from anyone.The stage was hectic, and a pair of wide hands grabbed Ryan’s neck firmly. He staggered behind. His windpipe tightened, and he felt no air inside him. These hands belonged to Lavenda, who was out of her mind, he guessed. Her blood-red eyes darting him and cursing at her top voice, he heard not much. People from beside them pulled her off when, a minute later, he found his neck released. The sudden gust of air slammed into his lungs. He felt his life coming back slowly.Jim was behind him, holdin

It covered the entire ceiling of the great hall of the banquet palace they hired for this event. He himself dressed up like a prince in his all white three-piece suit, a glimmering wrist watch, his grandfather gave him two days ago.His grandfather called him a day before yesterday evening suddenly to his mansion. Although not quite satisfied with this family, Ryan reconciled with him and decided to throw this event on his grandfather’s eighty-fifth birthday. He was more than delighted to hear his arrangements and Lavenda too, threw a family get together for her father but on Ryan’s request they turned it into a big event.He looked at his square golden watch. Mr. Dayholt specially ordered it from France to gift him. It was around eight o’clock and the hall was filling with their expected guests. He

Jim lunged at his feet, startling her, and he mistakenly stepped on her feet and was about to scream in shock, but Amy slapped her palm on his lips, forced to mute him. Her strength made him stagger, and his back stamped on the wall behind.Amanda, on top of him, glared at him to stay quiet. Her feet must have hurt a lot. He saw her watery eyes. The torch rolled down the ground; it lit the entire floor.The lady outside quieted down and her heels slapped against the floor further away. Amanda sighed with relief, still cupping his mouth in her palm. Jim tried to speak to tell her about the uncomfortable position they were in. His chest pressed against hers, his ears burning. He felt his torso tensing up, and wanted to push her off, but he can’t thrust her off with a person lingering outside.“Shhhhh…” she flapped her finger on her lips, “I think it’s Stephanie. She must have stayed late,” she wh
He Left With Nothing Chapter 58: The vault in Natalie's cabin
A faint caramel aroma spread through the table where Amanda sat alone. People around her gossiped on their table in their own world, trying out the delicious desserts they ordered. The walls on her side had peculiar looking arts hanging through the entire wall.Maybe art lovers will see the beauty in it, but Amy only saw some unusual blocks and colors mixed together. The owner must be a well off art lover to afford these art pieces, she reckoned when a gentle young boy, around in his teen, walked in with a tray full of desserts and served the ones she ordered.He looked as delicious as those desserts, but she had to refrain her hungry heart from doing some terrible act of flirting with a teenager. The boy left for another table and she addressed the desserts. The mouthwatering fragrance choked her. Now she understood why this place was so popular on the internet. It was far from where she worked now but a safer place in case someone eavesdrop at the

Chapter 57: New CEOA newspaper hung low over the table, stating business news over the country, and the biggest headline was about them. Natalie crushed the newspaper with her bare palm. She wished the news would crush like that, too. She breathed heavily over the paper, glaring at the headline which said, “Owen, still missing. His family does not know. Are they really his family or are they after his wealth, after all?”She finally threw the paper aside with a nasty loud grumble, stamping her fist on the polished wooden table. Pens rattled on there but the other busybody did not even flinch. Over the table, another person sat quiet. His fingers playing with his mobile, a stack of papers left untouched right beside his head.“That son of a…” Mrs. Davenport cursed in air, her eyes hovering around to find any chance to yell at something or someone. There was only her son, David, busy in his mobile, with no attention to what’s

Chapter 56: Livin’ bar“WHAT!” Bellowed Jim. His influential voice resonated through the walls and forced its entrance into Ryan’s ear, which he pressed shut, expecting this reaction. Jim gasped at the news he just received and took the seat beside him on the armchair. Eyes widened to the size of a ping-pong ball, Jim gawked at him for more information. Yet Ryan reluctantly waited for his excitement to subdue.The room filled in silence for an entire minute when Jim broke it. “What that cracked nut came here for!”“What nut?” Ryan asked. The words he said sounded foreign to him. He rested himself on the armchair beside Jim.“Cracked nut not walnut,” Jim corrected him, thinking how could he hear cracked nut, a walnut. But the topic was what Owen was doing here. Of all places, how could he know his residence and what about the confidentiality procedure they applied? It was nonsense to think of him

Chapter 55: In the family album“Onto our next hot topic. The Davenports found a traitor in themselves. The cars they were supposed to use in their new big project of racing course next city, they used for extra profit. And according to sources, the CEO of Dayholt, who still kept us in the dark, not revealing his identity, had no knowledge of this scam he received. Mr. Owen Davenport made no statement regarding this issue, yet this morning, sources said he went missing. His secretary, Ms. Stephanie, went to say her last goodbye to him at his apartment and she found no one while he should at least be hiding in his room.” Said a blonde Latina woman flaunting her wide chest and smiling vaguely, as if trying to seduce her audiences. She somehow reminded him of Linda, same gesture, same voice tone she used while she talked about how much she like him.Thinking of her, he realized how long it was that she stopped contacting him. She was like a bugging insect, pes
