“So, you’re telling me that you are no longer working for Charlotte?” I asked.
“Yeah, most of the guys that used to work for her actually left” the driver replied.
I remained quiet after hearing that he was no longer working for Charlotte, it was never easy to quit when you were working for Charlotte. It was as if some kind of fear was instilled in them or something.
“I know you’re wondering how that happened” he guessed my thoughts.
“Yeah man, I mean you were all so afraid to actually leave that place, what happened?” I replied.
“I guess we realized that we were actually oppressed and it was not Charlotte who was doing all that but her dad” he said.
All the time I lived with Charlotte I have never seen her dad and now that the driver was mentioning him, it hit me as a shock.
“Her dad?” I asked.
“Yeah” he replied.
“I tho
The next day…We all left the guest house and it was now time for me to go and claim my position in all the four companies. I decided to put on my jeans and a normal t-shirt then I went to the first three companies where I was going to introduce myself as the owner. At the third company, the shareholders wanted to meet the new owner so I rushed there. As I was walking through the doors of that multi-million-company, what I set my eyes on was amazing the interior design was just amazing, the security guard yelled at me.“Hey, what are you doing here?” the security guard said.I turned and stared at him “me?” I asked him.“Yeah, you can’t come in here wearing like that” the security guard said.I stared at him not surprised because also at the first three companies I got the same gesture.“And what’s wrong with how I’m wearing sir?” I asked.The first thing I was g
“Time is no longer on my side” I grabbed the box “thank you so much for this sir” I said as I was walking away from the counter.“I’ve been expecting you” he replied.I stopped and turned; I approached the counter once again.“You’ve been expecting me?” I asked.“My wife and I, we had a grandson who was given up for adoption” he paused “that necklace in there was given to me by my wife when she died. She told me in a dream that you will come and I should give it to you” he replied.I remained quiet for that minute, realizing that the woman in the picture was indeed the strange lady and was I wondered if I was the grandson or what.“So where is this grandson now?” I asked.“I can’t say” he paused “he must look inside himself and the path will lead him here” he said.Deep down I felt like this old man was
The day of the business tycoon gala dinner finally arrived, Christine made sure that our outfits were ready and Jones made sure that our security personnel was ready to accompany us to the gala dinner. At this particular dinner is where I was going to meet Mr. Zhang and Mr. Jackson, my plan was to make quiet an impression if I had a chance to meet them one on one.I put on my designer suit that which Christine had someone design it for me, it was shiny and black in color. I walked out of my room and walked all the way downstairs glancing at my watch as I waited for Christine and before I knew it Christine was walking on the stairs incredibly looking. She was wearing a red Cinderella dress, it looked like that dress was designed specifically for her body.“Wow” I said.“What?” she asked.“You look incredible” I replied.She blushed “Thank you” she said.I held her by a hand as we walked out of t
After laying my eyes on that kid, I remembered that I had a kid and now I had to power to go and be with him and so he gets to know that I was his father. I got into the bathroom and then a chef came behind me.“They are going to try and poison you” he said.“What?” I asked.“Whatever you do just don’t eat the food in your plate” he instructed me.He immediately walked out after saying that, I knew that someone might try to attempt such a thing so I left the bathroom without doing whatever I was going to do there. When I got back to the main hall, they were already serving the guests but our table was not yet served, so I went back to my seat.“Hey, you see those waiters coming with food this side” I whispered to Christine.“Yeah” she replied.“I want you to switch your plate with the plate of the guy sitting next to you” I continued whispering.&ldqu
To my surprise, when we got to the main hall there were no police officers or any emergency personnel to show that someone had lost his life. Christine glanced at me, I assumed that she was also wondering about the table that we were sitting on. Even after the two people died and the glasses were broken, the table looked as perfect as we found it when we entered the venue earlier like nothing happened.“Something is going on here” I whispered into Christine’s ear.“I thought I was the only one who noticed” she replied.We walked past the security guards through the main entrance and then we were outside and Kevin was out there waiting for us. As we were approaching the car, a gentleman pulled me by my hand. I violently pulled my hand back, while Jones’ men slow came towards us.“What the hell” I said.“Sir, I need to talk to you” the gentleman replied.“About what? Did it need
“What are you doing here?” I asked.“Wow, not even a come in?” Charlotte replied.I just stared at her like I had no words for her, without anyone inviting her in she decided to walk into the house and her eyes started running around the place, she wasn’t impressed at all. Christine and I just stared at her.“Not bad, your girlfriend has got a great touch after all” Charlotte said as she glanced at Christine.“Cut the crap Charlotte, what do you want?” I asked.“I want you back, I’m here to take you back home” Charlotte replied.Charlotte was really that crazy and she definitely meant what she said at this moment, I glanced at Christine who closed the door and came in between me and Charlotte. Christine was starting to get angry about Charlotte’s attitude.“I will never allow such disrespect in my house, and this is my man you’re talking to&rdquo
I opened the door for John the journalist.“Come on in man, close the door behind you” I said.“Thank you, Mr. Steve,” he replied.I led the way to the TV room as John followed me, we went and sat down on the sofa. John put his belongings on the table.“So, what do you have for me?” I asked.“Okay, I do have information on Mr. Zhang and Mr. Jackson including some of their companions” he said.“How do I fit in into this whole thing?” I asked “I mean if you have information about them, report about at your news channel”“That’s where you come in sir” he replied “our news channel has been blocked for exposing these guys so I was hoping that if we had the backing of someone as influential as you are we could at least get a bit of a break through and come back to the main stream”“Okay, what do you need?” I asked.
The next morning…I woke up early in the morning and left the house before Christine even woke up. But the previous night I had told her that I was going to leave a little bit earlier. I arrived at the same time with the receptionist, she was pretty much the first one to arrive every day.“Good morning” I greeted her “wow, you look pretty today”“Thank you so much sir” she blushed.I walked past the reception and headed for my office. I sat on my chair thinking about how things were unfolding at this point, and how everything was going my way. I sat in that quiet office being in deep thought and then a call came through the telephone that was in my office.“Hello” I answered and it was my receptionist.“Sir, there are men here looking for you”I wasn’t expecting anyone at that moment but I assumed that it might’ve been Mr. Zhang and Mr. Jackson because we h
“Who do you think you are?” Mr. Jackson asked.“I think I am the guy that makes you shiver,” I replied.“Give us our property and we’ll leave you alone, we won’t come for you or any of your family members,” Mr. Jacksons said.“Speaking of properties,” I scoffed “I found out that 99% of everything you too own is actually mine,”“Where did you get that nonsense?” Mr. Zhang replied.I raised the contracts.“Here’s the proof right here,” I said.They gave each other a look of shame as I threw the contracts on the ground, they just stared at me with no word coming out of their mouths.“So, I give you, your property,” I said “you give me my property. Deal?”“I told you that we were supposed to kill this fool,” Zhang yelled at Mr. Jackson “feed him to the dogs just like we did with his
I thought that the process was going to take months and months but fortunately for me, I just went out for a week. It was unfortunate that I couldn’t get my memory back but I did remember that my dad mentioned something about the bookstore. So immediately when I woke up, I told Johnsons to send on of his men to go search for a small safety deposit box which might have been in the bookstore. Christine and I were booked into a guest house because we couldn’t go home, Mr. Jacksons’ men were surely watching my place.“So, who brought you to that room because I told Kevin not to bring you?” I asked.“John fetched us,” Christine said.“Okay,” I replied.I took my phone and dialed John’s number and after a few minutes of ringing he answered.“John listen, I want you to report about that file in your news bulletin tomorrow,” I said.Christine glanced at me.“Okay no
At 10 PM, I got into my car and drove all the way to the place I met John when he took me to Dr. Johnsons for the first time. John was already there, so when I got out of the car, he had one of his guys drive my car to a safe place. We walked all the way to Dr. Johnsons’ office with me feeling nervous about this treatment because it was an experimental treatment, we weren’t even sure if it would bring back my memory. We walked into Dr. Johnsons’ office and we found Dr. Johnsons and the middle-aged man ready to start the treatment process.“Are ready?” he asked.“Yeah,” I said “let’s get on with this.”“You have to go through these papers first,” the middle-aged man said.“What is this?” I asked.“This is proof that you actually agreed to this treatment, in case something goes wrong,” the middle-aged man said.I went through the page and everything
The following day I had a meeting with the clan leaders so Christine helped me prepare in the morning and then I was on my way to Mr. Jackson’s house. Since Kevin was busy with his granddad’s funeral I had to drive around alone, but his time as a driver now up and he also deserved to be driven too. I didn’t trust Jones’ men so the was no one that I was going to let any of them drive me. I finally arrived at the Jackson premises, and it was a very big house, this one was castle it felt like a king resided in that place. I parked my car in the drive way, then walked to the front door. Looking around, every corner of the yard had a security guard holding an AK. I rang the door bell and a helper opened the door. “Hello,” she greeted me “they’ve been waiting for you, this way.” She led the way to a certain room and opened the door, I looked at her. “Get in there, take off your clothes and grab a towel and leave your phone then follow me,” she instructed me
After watching the news, I was now confident that these bastards were going to pay for everything they put me through. I could imagine Mr. Jacksons’ face when those news about the gala dinner were reported. My time to celebrate about the small wins was over and now it was time for me to go get my memory back so I met up with John the journalist in the city and we were going to meet the person who was going to help with it. I parked my car at one of the buildings as John instructed me to then we started walking by foot. “So, who is this person we are going to meet and what does he do?” I asked. “He’s just a private psychologist,” John replied “he helps people like you.” “What the heck is a private psychologist?” I asked. John just laughed a little “you’ll see,” he said. “I hope you are not taking me to those creepy voodoo psychics,” I replied. “No not at all,” John said. I took out a piece of paper with the details of the first
Charlotte and Cindy glanced at each other then stared back at me.“Uhm, Lesly is just a contract killer” Cindy said “he was hired to date me so that he could get a reason to do anything to you.”“So, the story you told me in the guest house about me and you dating, then this Lesly guy stabbing you is all real?” I asked.“Yeah” Cindy nodded.“Where is he now?” I asked.“He is the one who is managing the drug route that comes from Thailand, he was promoted after injecting you” Charlotte said.I couldn’t believe what my ears were hearing, in fact I just didn’t know what to say next because my whole life was basically a lie. Charlotte came towards me and tried to touch me.“Don’t touch me” I violently pushed her hand away from me “you ruined my life.”“We are so sorry Kat” Charlotte said.“What
“What is doing here” Charlotte asked.“Why are we here?” Cindy said.Without saying a word, I took the file and tossed it to their feet.“What is this” Cindy asked as she was picking it up.“You know I used to see this file in Charlotte’s laptop” I said “but I never dared to open it”Charlotte started shaking, realizing that the tables have actually turned and the chess game was now controlled by me.“I can explain” Charlotte replied as Cindy her gave a stare.“Your father used you too, to get to me” I said “and you guys just tamed the clown in me”Cindy tossed the file on the bed.“Listen,” Cindy replied “my dad used us and I know that what we did to you was unfair but we thought that we were doing the right thing”“The right thing?” I asked.“We were just young an
Later that day…I grabbed the file and left my office, I found Kevin having a conversation with the receptionist, she was blushing and giggling, it felt good to see Kev building relationships with new people.“Let’s go Kev” I said as I walked past him and the receptionist.“Can I call you tonight?” Kevin asked the receptionist as he followed me.I looked back trying to see her response and I saw her just smiling and nodding, it was no doubt that she kind of liked Kevin. I jumped into the backseat of the SUV as Kevin headed to the front seat.“She likes you” I said.“Who?” he asked.“The receptionist” I replied “she likes you”Kevin just chuckled with no response and then he started the engine, that was sign enough for me to see that he was also into the girl.“Where to boss?” he asked.“There’s an old jewel
The next morning…I woke up early in the morning and left the house before Christine even woke up. But the previous night I had told her that I was going to leave a little bit earlier. I arrived at the same time with the receptionist, she was pretty much the first one to arrive every day.“Good morning” I greeted her “wow, you look pretty today”“Thank you so much sir” she blushed.I walked past the reception and headed for my office. I sat on my chair thinking about how things were unfolding at this point, and how everything was going my way.
