CHAPTER 2: MEMORIES [2]

   "I believe this will be the end of the meeting for today. You are dismissed." A loud voice ordered and everyone stood up as quickly as possible, their feet hurrying up out of the conference room as if they were being chased out; precisely though they were being ordered out by their boss, the only Raphael Theophilus.

Raphael Theophilus, the name that most people in the company were afraid of. He was the middle child of his family and the second son of the Theophilus family. 

The Theophilus family was known for being involved in different businesses as long as it brought them the profit they wanted. They were known as the JACK OF ALL TRADES.

The leadership mantle fell on the Chairman of the DEE THEO GROUP OF INDUSTRIES, the one, and only Michael Theophilus. A man of experience in business and underworld activities. Many praised him for being who he was while a few saw his riches as being obtained from dirt but either way that it was, he did not mind.

Michael Theophilus remained the Chairman but hardly did not miss any meetings, instead his first son, Vegas Theophilus handled everything as he ought to as this was his duty as the first child.

As for Raphael, he recently turned cold and reserved after the incident that struck him three years ago. It was a well-known incident that spread like wildfire all over the country, the famous second son of the family was scammed by a lady that he claimed to be in love with. It was such an embarrassing season in the family as this only made the distance between the father and son grow and also made Micheal despise him that much.

When the incident happened, Raphael had pleaded not to pursue the lady in question and that he would work for it again. Since then, he automatically turned 180 degrees in his attitude and behavior.

   "Have you been able to get all the information that I told you to?" Raphael asked coldly as they walked past the buildings into his office. His assistant, Jeremy, adjusted his glasses and cleared his throat.

   "Not yet, sir."

   "Not yet?! What do you mean by that? Do you know how long this has been pending? It's been a whole f*cking three years and you have still not been able to find anything about her?" Raphael yelled at him and Jeremy took a few steps back.

He waited a bit for his boss to enter the office and settle down before approaching him again but this time, he came to meet Raphael with a glass of water. He placed it before him.

   "I heard your yell from afar, don't pressure the young man, Raphael. You are certainly just looking for a ghost." Someone spoke and turned the swivel chair around.

It was no other than Raphael's best friend, Omega Dan. The last and spoiled child of the Omega family.

The Omega family was known for one thing though in the whole of Country A and that was the shipping of products; both importing and exporting. This was the family business but Dan's siblings were allowed to go into any profession they wanted except the first male child. 

   "Omega, what are you doing here?" Raphael sighed as he faced his childish friend.

   "I came to pay a long-lost friend a visit." He replied innocently.

Raphael glanced at Jeremy, "You may leave." He ordered.

   "Thank you, sir." He fled immediately.

Dan pulled his chair towards Raphael who had started going through his work. He brought out two sticks of lollipops, he stretched one towards Raphael but the latter only eyed him and snorted.

   "Do I look like a five-year-old to you?" He asked.

   "Telling me you don't want it would have been better." Dan sulked and tore one of the lollipops open before putting it into his mouth. 

   "You know that Jeremy not being able to find your mysterious girl isn't his fault right? How can someone help you look for a person if what you gave as a description was only oral? Is he a magician or what?" Dan questioned.

   "Moreover, I still don't understand the reason why you are so determined in finding this girl. I believe that she must have moved on already or might have even given birth to her fifth child." Dan said and Raphael glared before looking away.

His friend was somehow right. What if the girl didn't really care about him or wasn't concerned as much as he was right now?

THREE YEARS AGO.

   "Boss, we couldn't find anything about her." A man informed Raphael with nervousness and Raphael threw his champagne glass in frustration.

   "Haaaaaa." He screamed and hit the table violently. What trouble had he gotten himself into in the first place? What were all these? Was fate playing a cruel trick on him? 

   "Run a background check or anything." He ordered.

   "Boss, we have already done that but it seems like Miss…your ex-girlfriend isn't really what she is physically." The second man replied.

   "And what is that supposed to mean?" Raphael asked slowly as if expecting another automatic bomb to explode in his brain.

   "She is a disguiser. When she was with you, that was all a facial disguise so we don't really know what she actually looks like in real life. It seems she is a pro in stuff like this." The second man explained as he diverted his attention towards the computer again.

Raphael's blood was boiling. He grabbed his car keys and bolted out of the room without paying heed to the calling of his men. He got into his car and zoomed off in anger.

He had been searching for his ex-girlfriend for about a month now and only got to discover recently that she duped him financially. All the excuses that he had been giving to his parents on behalf of his failed relationship were that his girlfriend was on a vacation meanwhile she was totally gone with the use of a sudden 'abracadabra'.

His mind was not fully settled that he had to hit the steering wheel once in a while and groaned. Once he got into the hotel, he parked his car and went straight to the receptionist. 

   "Welcome…"

   "Keys!" He ordered and the woman gave it to him quickly and watched Raphael climb the stairs.

   "Why is he suddenly going all King Kong tonight?" She whispered and faced her front.

Raphael unlocked the door and entered. He took off his clothes and went in to take a bath before leaving the room again but this time, it was unlocked.

He went to his exclusive region in the other part of the hotel and got himself drunk into a stupor. He could hardly think or do anything. It was fortunate that no one was able to witness the son of Theophilus go all cranky and crazy that night, well, who wouldn't?

His ex-girlfriend was probably one of the smartest people he had come to bow down to after this incident. She did it intentionally…everything that he had worked for was taken away from him, leaving only a few to cope with. How would his family, especially his father deal with this?

This would probably be one of the cruelest jokes ever pulled up on him. In his drunken state, he brought out his phone and searched for her number again with the ray of hope that she would probably answer but the hope soon faded away when it only had to become unreachable again.

He chuckled…then scoffed…then laughed mockingly at himself before finding his way back to his room.

   "You are a goner, Raphael." He said.

On getting to his room, he saw a ray of flashlight and then a sweet voice.

   "Jade, is that you?"

Unable to cope with what he was seeing or hearing, he replied unconsciously.

   "Hmm."

   "Oh. I have been trying to find the switch…"

He grabbed the person, causing a collision between them. Her body was quite warm and that seemed to have woken something up in him. He pushed her onto the bed, in the dark. It was quite surprising to him that the person in question was willing to cooperate with him but because of his drunken state, his rationality was gone and all he just wanted to do was to enjoy this moment without no interruption.

BACK TO THE PRESENT.

   "Hey." Dan snapped his fingers in front of him.

   "Are you even listening to me at all?" He asked.

Raphael blinked and sighed. He stood up and started packing up.

   "Where are you going?" Dan asked.

   "Home."

   "Want me to tag along?"

Raphael carried his suitcase and raised his eyebrows at his friend.

   "If I say no, will you stay?"

   "Definitely not," Dan replied with a cheerful smile and tagged along with his friend. He couldn't stop talking about the number of girls who wanted to collect his contact information because of how handsome he was.

   "Trust me when I say this, the girls are blind." Raphael interrupted and walked away while Dan's face turned ugly for a second.

   "What a party pooper! No wonder you are still single at your age!"

   "I heard that." Raphael half yelled and Dan ran to catch up with him.

    PLAN: "Listen to me, Kira, you have to make it over here yourself. I am tired already, okay? Please, pardon me." Evelyn said over the phone as she fried the eggs that she had mixed earlier. "You'd better start preparing something worth eating and tasty or else…" Kira threatened. "You will skin me alive, trust me, I have heard that multiple times from you. Just hurry up and get over here." Evelyn joked and ended the conversation.She thought that she would be able to make it over to her side in the evening but then she changed her mind. She had no interest in taking one single step out of the apartment, especially not when she had just arrived in the Capital City. In summary, she was too lazy to do so.Moreover, Kira didn't mind going anywhere as long as there would be a good food surplus. "Mum, I am very hungry," Tom said as he walked over to meet her, his tiny hands gripping his flat tummy. He just woke up from a nap. Evelyn looked at him and smiled. "Ha, I see. My boy

    HEARTBREAK.Evelyn walked out of the room in her heels and strolled past the rooms while admiring the design until her eyes met with a certain number 42. She paused and looked at the key in her hand before diverting her attention to the number on the door.Wait, it suddenly dawned on her. She was supposed to be in Room 42 and not 24. She swallowed hard, maybe it was just her imagination. She must be overthinking things but then, she looked at the keys in her hands, there was no difference in their writing as it could be interchangeably seen as 24 instead of 42 or 42 instead of 24.She twisted the handle of the door to settle her curiosity, the door was locked so she proceeded in using the key. There was this tiny voice in her head that was telling her that what she was about to do was wrong…that it was an invasion of privacy but there was this silent part in her that was pushing her to do this but whatever it was…she was going to do it.She pushed the door open after unlocking it but

Kira asked."It went well. I finally found a school for him, Primus International Kids." Evelyn replied and Kira was stunned that she stopped walking for a moment."Seriously?" Kira questioned and Evelyn nodded."Yes, why do you look so dumb?"Kira laughed and they continued walking."My facial expression wasn't dumb, it only screamed shock.""Shock? Why are you shocked?" Evelyn asked with confusion."The school is quite expensive, Eve. Will you be able to afford it for long?" Kira asked worriedly and Evelyn smiled."Yes, don't worry. I have already gone through everything about the school and it is okay for his studies. I believe that I will be able to get a job very soon…a very good one. Thank you.""You are welcome."They both had another fun discussion until the cab that Kira ordered ar

    SON MEETS FATHER [1]They arrived at the school's gate and the mother and son pair were stunned. The school was even more beautiful than Evelyn had seen on the internet. Tom was also happy that he would start attending this big and beautiful school. Suddenly, all his sadness for school disappeared and he was now eager to be in school uniforms just like his mates that he was seeing.Evelyn got closer to the security guard and greeted him. He was a middle-aged man, judging from his looks and he probably had the strength to fight off any physical attack that did not include the use of a gun or any sharp objects. At least, schools were now thinking twice before employing security personnel, and considering that this was like a rich kid school, the security was tight.This made Evelyn happy because she remembered the last school that Tom attended in Country B. It was nothing like this one in terms of looks, teachings, uniforms, etc. But there was one incident that happened back then that s

What option should he go for?Raphael was still bent on his knees, he was staring at the green eyes dude. For a reason not known to him, he felt attached to the kid and his heart seemed to quicken fast while awaiting his response. He was speechless while awaiting Tom to speak back to him."Hello, handsome." Tom finally replied with a cheesy smile, he wasn't going to let go of this offer. Moreover, who would want to harm or kidnap a small and cute boy like him in this big school? Nobody!Raphael was completely charmed by his voice and his smile that he couldn't help laughing."I see where that is leading. What exactly do you want?""An ice cream." He pointed.Raphael then stood up and looked at the vendor who immediat

    IT'S HER.Evelyn gave a lot of mathematical equations to Tom later in the evening and watched him work both his sense and nonsense in the rough book. That was his punishment. She was sitting on her bed while he lay on the floor with a bottle of coke and a bag of chips just like her.She would, once in a while, take a look at him and the expression he had on his face was so glorious to see, the expression of the pain of having to solve the most annoying subject in the universe.Evelyn sipped her coke and then received mail on her laptop. She clicked on it quickly after seeing the sender; THEO GROUP OF INDUSTRIES.With anxiousness, she read the message and almost screamed for joy…well, she later did because she couldn't contain the joy within her. She was called for an interview. Her joyous scream startled Tom, his heart felt like it dropped into a well when he heard that."Mom, what is wrong?" He asked."Nothing is wrong. Everything is just fine, my dear. I am being called to come to o

    PERSONAL ASSISTANT.Raphael's eyes were glued on her, he couldn't be mistaken. There was no way he was mistaken about her.Evelyn who had been standing there for minutes was feeling tired of standing but there was nothing she could do. The man was staring at her, but not in a way that cringed her or infuriated her, it was just…something else.She felt like they had both met before but where could she have met him? And there was no way she would forget such a gorgeous face if she indeed met him.Point two was that it was like she was seeing the mini version of Tom in him. They looked so much alike. Was he…? What the hell was she even thinking about? And apart from that, he looked charming and handsome. He looked different from other rich young men she came across, especially Jade. His manner of sitting, the way his office was arranged, and then his piercing gaze, why was he focusing this much on her? Was something perhaps wrong with her dressing or maybe she looked weird?"Excuse me, s

    CONFUSED.It has been a few days since Evelyn has been working under Raphael. She felt so happy and relaxed at work, she felt no pressure and made a few colleagues. She got introduced to what was going on around the company and it was fun.Even Jeremy wasn't left out, he was super nice and her boss, she didn't have a perfect description for him at all because he was all bossy and only kept things professional. He was very strict too, no one was excluded from his wrath or displeasure.There was a time when she made a mistake in the calculations, she almost got buried under the ground."What the hell is this, Miss Evelyn?" Raphael barked at her and her heart skipped a bit."How…what do you mean, Mr. Raphael?" She stuttered."What kind of mistake is this, huh? You made a mistake in the calculations. Do you know how dangerous this is especially for me? You don't, do you? Well, let me tell you in case you don't know. If I was to take this to the Chairman and he gave it to the board for the

She didn't know if that was willingly or if he was bribed to stay. She looked at the lingerie that Kira had insisted that she buy for Raphael's sake. She still remembered the conversation they had."Don't you think he will see me as being cheap?" She asked as she ransacked her hands through the lingerie."See as cheap? What? No, he even knows how hard he had to work just to get you so you ain't cheap my dear.""But it still feels kind of thrilling.""Have you two kissed?" Kira whispered."Yeah," Evelyn replied."Don't you feel like moving forward a bit?" Evelyn blushed and hit her friend with the lingerie before walking away."Fine then, I will buy it."Raphael came into the room with his phone in his hand when Evelyn released the bathrobe she was wearing. It was such perfect timing."Evelyn, do you…what the hell?" His eyes widened. His eyes slowly ate

    CHAPTER 79: THE TRUTH.Michael opened his eyes to the deafening sound of the machine that didn't seem prepared to want to stop anytime soon. He sighed and tried moving his hand but it was painful for him, he couldn't move his legs either. He tried hard to remember what had happened the night before but his memories were hazy for him.Then his head snapped to the television in front of him, the picture of Raphael was there and his eyes opened clearly as he tried his best to listen."The second son of the Theophilus family, Raphael Theophilus has been confirmed to be the solidified owner of the new mega-company, Exclusive North Star [ENS]. The news came as a shock to everyone when this was announced and along with the news of his company was the information of his called-off engagement with the A-list actress, Erica.Not many know the reason why this came up but the Billionaire made mention of sticking to his family and being responsible as a father and loving husband alongside being th

    CHAPTER 78: IT'S ALL COMING DOWN TONIGHT [3].Evelyn put down the bowl of noodles for Tom who grabbed it and started eating. She smiled and went to the sitting room. There wasn't much to do, it felt as if she was living life on repeat for the past few months. Before she could take a spoon, the doorbell rang and it made her pause, wondering who it was. Kira would have called to inform her of her coming if it was her so who could it be?Tom stared at the door for a while, and so did his mother before she eventually stood up to answer it. When she opened the door, she was faced with the biggest surprise ever. Raphael was standing right in front of her, holding a box that she assumed was filled with pizza and maybe something else."Raphael." She whispered and he smiled. Tom stood up and came to their side. His eyes widened when he saw him and instantly cried out."Daddy."Raphael put down the box and lifted the happy Tom, he used this opportunity to enter the house without being asked to.

Our engagement is just a few days away and I think it's gonna be special."Raphael yawned and nodded, "Call off the engagement."The smile on her face was wiped off completely when she heard this. She instantly put on a frown."What do you mean by calling off the engagement? I don't understand.""I believe that I am speaking the official language of the country correctly. CALL OFF THE ENGAGEMENT. Even a kid in basic class understands what I am saying.""Well, I don't. How can you just tell me to call off my engagement with you? It's impossible! Did I do something wrong, Raphael? I will apologize. I will change any bad habit of mine but please, don't make me call off the engagement.""T

He seemed of utmost pride as Shaft had invited him to join in his family's dinner party. This was a way for him to relieve stress, he glanced at his beautiful wife and opened his arm for her to hook hers with."You look amazing." He complimented."And you look gorgeous as ever. Old age does not affect you, darling."Micheal kissed her and they both walked out of their bedroom, climbing down the stairs as elegantly as ever. Raphael, who was sitting down, stood up to greet his father."Good evening, father.""Raphael." Michael acknowledged his greeting."Where is Vegas?" He asked him."He is probably busy.""Busy? Doesn't he know about the special occasion we have this evening? Try his number for me.""Unfortunately, I don't have it," Raphael responded."How can you not have your brother's number?

He blew out the smoke from his cigarettes and put them down on the ashtray. He locked eyes with Raphael whose legs were crossed against each other."And congratulations on your new company that is completely sucking the life out of your father." He added and Raphael chuckled coldly."How did you know?" He asked him."I am not a son of the mafia for nothing. All the rich men in the city are people that I keep a close watch on probably for profit's sake. So why are we here?""I believe that you already know the reason.""You don't want to get married to my sister," Vincent replied and Raphael nodded."Smart of you." He complimented while Vincent smirked.He was young but not dumb. He had been in the business since ten years old and he had been taught to get who a person is from close observation. He knew from the start that Raphael wasn't dumb,

    CHAPTER 74: ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR."Who is the establishment? What is going on?" Micheal yelled at his assistant in the conference room. They were currently holding a meeting with a few people around. The room was as chill as a home for kept stock fish. Raphael folded his arms as he watched everyone."I…I don't know, sir. Many of our investors are withdrawing from us. If care isn't taken, we might lose them all to the new company." He replied.That was true. Even though Raphael and the rest had been trying their best for the growth of the family business, there was this particular business that had risen from nowhere in the last four months and was already taking the lead as it was solely based on what Theo's group of industries had to offer.They were making more gains than them and what was even more frustrating was that the owner was unknown. It felt as if the person was in darkness, shooting an arrow of victory toward their opponents."What should we do? I am confused. Send

    CHAPTER 73: FIVE MONTHS LATER.Raphael blew his bubble gum as he put his right hand inside his pockets while looking around. It's been five months since everything happened and a few things had changed in his life alongside others.A man approached him and bowed. He collected the travel bag that Raphael was holding and pulled it away to the trunk of the car while Raphael got into the car before shutting the door after him.As the driver drove, his eyes ran across the whole building. He left the country three months ago for a business trip and he had been busy…a lot of things piled up for him and he felt emotionally drained. As the car went past a couple standing by the roadside, showcasing their love publicly, Raphael's heart ached and he touched the position on his chest before rolling up the window.After a few minutes of driving, the car finally arrived at the mansion. Raphael exited the car and walked into the mansion while the travel bag was brought in. The first person he saw wa

    CHAPTER 72: SHE IS GONE AGAIN!Raphael walked down the staircase quickly. His hands were searching all over his pockets for his car keys. He was inside the room earlier going through a lot of files when he randomly picked up his phone to call Evelyn. He switched it on.It's been a while since he spoke to her and it made him guilty. How would she react? Many thoughts went through his mind. Raphael put down his phone again and closed his eyes.He had not been brave to face her, he was just ashamed but then he was pushed to call her. So after scrolling to her contact, he received a notification beforehand and clicked on it. It was a message from Evelyn and after reading it, his mind became unsettled. His brain couldn't comprehend the details after his eyes landed on the'Until we meet again, Raphael.'He dashed out of the room immediately. His entire body was shaking as he started skipping steps, not caring if he would slip and fall.He walked past Vegas who was enjoying himself on the c
