After the SUV somersaulted, Joe's car drove away fast. Franklin looked back and saw the SUV upside down, he felt bad.Joe and his boys yelled, "Faster! Faster!" They drove fast, swerved, and turned.Suddenly, new cars blocked their way. Men on black with guns got out and pointed at Joe's car.Joe and his boys began to panick, "Who are they? What do they want?"One man with a gun walked up and pointed at Franklin. "We want him. Casey Ford sent us."Joe looked confused. "Who is Casey Ford?"The man with the gun said, "You don't know her? She's a powerful person. She wants him.""Why does she want him?" Joe asked.The man with the gun shouted, "Hand him over! Now! And stop asking stupid questions!"Joe's boys looked at each other, then at Joe but didn't move.Another man with a gun got angry. "You don't understand. We're not playing games. Hand him over, or we will make you sorry."Joe's boys still didn't move. Man with a gun got closer, pointed the gun at Joe's head."Okay, okay!" Joe s
Franklin and Conor wore old clothes and pretended to be homeless. They walked in the streets, trying to blend in like common people, headed for Bill Enterprise.But Joe and his boys saw them. Joe and his boys were dressed in black hoods and looking like thugs, showing Franklin's picture to each other."Hey, boss! We found him!" One of the boys shouted, pointing at Franklin and Conor.Franklin and Conor tried to hide, but Joe's boys caught them. "You're not going anywhere!" one of them said, gripping Franklin's arm."Don't you dare lay a finger on me!" Franklin struggled, trying to break free."No way, brat!" Joe laughed. "My boss wants to see you. You're in big trouble now."Joe pulled out Franklin's picture and showed it to his boys. "See? This is him. We finally found him."His boys nodded, looking at Franklin and Conor with mean eyes. "Yeah, boss. We'll take care of them from here.""Good," Joe said.Conor looked at Franklin with confusion on his face. "Young master, who are these
After seeing the picture of Bill Ford, Franklin became very angry. He went to his room, deep in thought about Bill Ford. He wanted to know more about him. He picked up the phone and called Conor, the butler. "Conor, what do you know about Bill Ford?" he asked, adjusting his sitting position.Conor hesitated, his voice wary. "He’s not a good man, sir. He’s the CEO of Bill Enterprise and they're trying to destroy your family business," he replied cautiously.Franklin’s anger flared up again. "I know. But what else?" he demanded, his grip tightening on the phone.Conor thought for a moment. "He has a daughter. She works with him," he revealed slowly.Franklin was surprised. "Daughter? What’s her name?" he asked, intrigued.Conor replied slowly. "Her name... is Casey," he said, the hesitation clear in his voice.Franklin remembered Casey. She was the lady he met at VINTAGE Mall. He didn’t like her."What does she do?" Franklin asked Conor, his brow furrowing."She helps her father. She's
Daisy sat on the couch, looking at her phone. She saw a call from an unknown number.She felt scared. She concluded that it was Franklin who had been calling her.Richmond came into the room. "What's wrong, baby?" he asked, noticing her distress.Daisy showed him the phone. This number. I think Franklin is calling me," she said, her voice trembling.Richmond became angry. "That good for nothing is no good. I'll protect you from him," he vowed, clenching his fists.Daisy nodded because she believed Richmond could protect her from Franklin.The next hour, Daisy tried to use her credit card in the grocery store, but it didn't work. She called the bank."Your card has been canceled, ma'am," the bank representative informed her.Daisy was confused. "Why? I don’t understand," she said.The bank representative explained, “We noticed illegal transactions involving your account. We canceled it until further notice."Daisy concluded Franklin had done it. He was trying to hurt her and had gone a
Deborah approached Vera, knowing she would find it difficult to believe her. She pointed to a mark on her forehead, saying, "I know you may not trust me, but look here," as she lowered her head. "This mark is from when you hit me with a stone on my forehead."Vera shook her head in disbelief. "That can't be true.""It is, Vera." The name sent chills down her spine.Overwhelmed with emotion, Vera embraced Deborah, and they held each other for what felt like an eternity.Sitting down, Deborah shared that she was now working as a manager at Miles’ Empire, a company owned by Mr. Miles is now managed by his son.Curious about Vera's work, she learned that Vera had been fired from her job at Vintage Mall that day.Vera then recounted their struggles and how difficult it had been to cope. Deborah couldn't help but cry, missing her mother deeply.Offering her support, Deborah mentioned a job opening for a receptionist at her company and assured Vera that she could help her secure the position
"Hello, Franklin." Mr Miles said over the phone.Franklin was shocked. He had not heard his father's voice for over 5 years now."Hi, dad!"They spoke for more than an hour, and Franklin pledged to return home."Goodnight.”Franklin began packing his belongings, preparing to return home the next day. After packing, he brought his snacks outdoors and stood along the shore. The moonlight had shone on the water, creating a gray and blue hue.The sound of the waves gave life to the serene night. He felt at peace, after speaking with his father. He knew he had failed him, but he was ready to return and make him proud.He sat on the bench, and thought of ways to make his company become the leading organization in the country. He needed to know his rivals-the company that was competing with him.He took out his phone, and dialed Mr Russell's number."Don't you know when is night, and when is day, you silly boy?" He grunted."Men don't sleep," Franklin muttered so low that his uncle could not
Inside the mall, the ladies were still in disbelief over what had just happened in front of them."What did you do to the man that made him give us such an amount of money?" one of them inquired from the receptionist. She was also the same lady who wanted to fit in and had claimed that Franklin was just a dirty delivery guy.Grinning, the receptionist turned to face her. "kindness! Look, you shouldn't treat someone like trash simply because they are poor. Just take a peek at you. You and them are the same. He is a delivery guy, and you are a cleaner. That is the only distinction. Naturally, under disguise."The other woman became enraged at the way she emphasized her final words. "But why would he disguise as a delivery guy?""Did you guys see the way he embarrassed that disrespectful lady? I hope she learns her lesson." Another person pointed out."Whatever! Get back to work now, else I will report all of you to the manager." The cashier threatened.The receptionist returned to her ta
Franklin rode his scooter to the largest boutique in Manchester which was primarily frequented by the upper class family.Only a select few from the lower class were permitted to work there in roles such as cleaners, receptionists, or security officers.The boutique bustled with people dressed in luxurious attire as they entered and exited the premises.Franklin entered and asked, "Which way is the male section?"The receptionist kindly informed him that it was on the fifth floor and directed him to the elevator on the left.He acknowledged this and wondered why she was nice to him despite his outfit. If only other workers could be like her.He walked away with his cart, heading towards the elevator while disregarding the curious looks he received.Some of the workers at the desk couldn't help but comment on his appearance, with one exclaiming, "He is so attractive!"Another expressed envy at the opportunity to interact with him, while a third admired his voice and likened him to a pri
The butler had made a phone call to the company and requested assistance after receiving a call from Franklin. He was clearly frightened of Franklin's demeanor.Aware of Franklin's intense anger, the butler felt that he needed to find a way for Franklin to release it. Having been with Franklin since his childhood, the butler knew a great deal about him.Franklin had a tendency to have a quick temper, but he had learned to control it after a traumatic incident.Franklin had become furious with a classmate who had poured water on his book and refused to apologize. Being a quiet person, Franklin often faced bullying.When the other boy insulted Franklin and refused to apologize after learning about his mother's absence, Franklin lost control and punched him, knocking out his tooth. Since then, Franklin had been avoiding situations that could trigger his anger.Very few people knew about Franklin's family and he didn't understand why he was kept hidden from the world. While other wealthy k
