“You brought a gun inside here? What kind of a man are you?” Nathan spoke.Corrigan moved closer to Nathan with the gun directed at his head. “Keep your mouth shut you son of a bitch.”“I’m not scared of you.” Nathan fired back.“By the time I’m done with you, you won’t live to make such a statement again,” Corrigan said and cocked his gun. “All I have to do is pull the trigger and that’s it, Alex Alcantara will be history.”Nathan sighed.Corrigan flashed an evil smile. “So do you have any last words? I’m a man of honor therefore I can spare you a minute for a last speech.”“Speaking to you is like planting seeds in a dessert Corrigan. You are a despicable person.” Nathan replied and curled his lips in irritation.“Whatever. And guess what? I’ll ensure you die horribly. After I empty these bullets into your head, I’m going to take off your masks and hang you by the shower.”“A horrible death right? The kind of death you gave Dr. Edgar and all your one-time loyal friends.” Said Nathan
When Nathan and his crew stepped out of the bathroom, they were intercepted by Corrigan’s men outside.Corrigan’s chief guard hurried to the bathroom and was stunned at the spectacle before him. Jackson was dragging the lifeless Corrigan toward the door like a piece of shit.In a flash, the Alcantara guards quickly secured the bathroom and the hallway. They were heavily guarded.Nathan cleared his throat loudly and looked Corrigan’s chief security guard straight in the face. “If any of you dares to shoot, I’ll ask Jackson to kill your boss.”Seeing that they were not at an advantage, Corrigan’s men lowered their guns. Meanwhile, aside from the ones inside the hall, the guards had no idea about the ongoing commotion in the hall.As Corrigan’s men drew back, Jackson made his way back to the Hall dragging Corrigan while Nathan and his entourage followed.When they arrived at the hall, Nathan read the room. Everyone had shock spread across their faces. Nathan glanced at one of the screens
The crowd began to disperse while the electoral committee moved to a corner to converse. It was a case of emergency. McDonald, Gregor, Hose Luis, and other supporters of Nathan rallied around him to exchange congratulatory remarks and laud his brave actions.While McDonald and Gregor were speaking with the rest, Mike and Nathan moved to a corner. “Where’s Jackson?” Mike asked. “Off to ensure the other plan is a success,” Nathan replied. Mike placed a hand on Nathan’s left shoulder. “I’m so proud of you and I hope tonight favors us.”Nathan smiled. “When I said I was willing to do anything to get rid of Corrigan, I meant it. Tonight, Destiny shall favor me.”Mike gave repeated nods. “I believe so.”*** The special squad came with three vans to apprehend Corrigan after Ryan communicated with the State squad team. While Corrigan’s men were handcuffed and placed in one of the vans, their boss was kept in a separate van, surrounded by some members of the squad team with the leader.
CHAPTER ONE."You dingbat!" A voice yelled at Nathan.In a few hours he will turn 18 years old, and he spent his day cleaning the basketball court. He had pleaded with the coach to give him the cleaning contract, instead of hiring a professional cleaner to do the job. He looks up to see the owner of the unfriendly voice, only to get his face covered in a dirty sweaty smelly towel."I want that properly washed," Bernard said. "It's expensive, you probably can't afford it, even if you spent your entire life mopping basketball courts, so, you better not ruin my towel!"Nathan glared at Bernard in anger. He clenched his fist approaching him. "Be civil with your choice of words!"Bernard groaned, pulling Nathan's hair. Bernard was tall and huge, unlike small lanky Nathan. His masculine build was quite attractive."What did you say?" Bernard continued pulling his hair. "Will you wash the towel or not?""I never said I wouldn't wash it, just be civil while talking to me. that's all." Nathan
CHAPTER TWO."Hello? Baby." Nathan spoke into the phone. "Baby thank goodness you called. I was having such a terrible day.""That's not why I called, oh please spare me all that." Anabel's voice was husky and pissed. "I am not interested in any of that."Nathan nodded sadly, understanding Anabel was not in the mood. "How are you?" He managed to ask.Anabel's voice came out quickly over the phone. "There's a birthday party I need to attend tomorrow, our cheerleading captain is celebrating her birthday tomorrow night in a grand style. All my friends and cheerleaders will be going!"Nathan frowned deeply. Charlotte's birthday party was the least of his problems. "For the records I'm not going." He said firmly."Who's asking you to?" Anabel laughed. "There's no way she'll even invite you to her party. That's not why I called anyway.""Why did you call? I was working." Nathan said."I need 1000 dollars to buy a red dinner gown, we the cheerleading team has decided to storm the party in re
CHAPTER THREE.Was this a joke? 100 million dollars in his bank account? Nice one, his bank manager was definitely pulling some sort of stupid prank on him on his birthday.He remembered his last year's birthday, how Bernard pranked him:"Happy birthday, cleaner boy!" Bernard said, walking up to Nathan. "On behalf of the basketball team, we say a very happy birthday to you. In there is a new phone for you, an iPhone. Hence you don't have an iPhone, we contributed money to buy you one. The latest model actually.""Really?!" Nathan smiled looking at his teammates. "Thank you!""Throw your old phone away, man! Common, you've got a new phone!" Bernard led him on."Yeah sure." Nathan nodded, removing his sim card. He then threw his phone over the university's gate to a main road."Good riddance!" Bernard cheered. "Now take." He handed over a gift bag to Nathan.Nathan collected the gift bag in excitement, he opened the bag and discovered a toy phone. It was a toy phone!"It's a toy phone."
CHAPTER FOUR.Nathan didn't fall asleep the entire night. He kept pondering over his parents’ revelation. Imagining and fantasizing on how his life would be from now onwards.He got up early, had his bath, did his chores, and rushed over to his bank. He was too nervous to even have breakfast. He had to figure out if his parents were playing a prank on him. He nearly got hit by another when he got down from his.The bus driver cussed him out."You rascal!" The bus driver yelled. "Do you want to get me in trouble with the legal authorities?""I'm sorry." He apologized even though he wasn't at fault. The driver was simply a careless man, without a driver's license, maybe."Sorry for yo mama, stupid!" The driver yelled.He ignored the driver and raced towards the bank. He saw the driver park his bus and step out, chasing after him. The hell! What a lunatic that shouldn't be behind a gear. The driver continued chasing after him until the driver bumped into the police.That was Nathan's sav
CHAPTER FIVE.The customer care lady strode out of the manager's office and approached Nathan."Hello sir." She said respectfully. "Here's your coffee, cream filled." She handed Nathan a cup of coffee."Thank you." Nathan smiled, sipping his coffee, just the way he loved it. Money was indeed powerful. Now he understood the saying: money rules the world.Anabel laughed horribly. "Sir? Common miss, don't waste your time. He's not worth the V.I.P treatment, he's got nothing less than 50 dollars in his account." She looked at the man she was with, rubbing his chest. "This is the real deal.""Oh no girl," The lady shook her head. " He has 100 million dollars in his account, currently he is our most valued customer."Anabel and the man laughed."I'm telling you miss; he is poor. Just yesterday he was just a loser with only 100 thousand dollars, not millions. Don't let him fool you.""He makes a living by washing dirty clothes for the basketball team in the university. He couldn't even affor
