The Billionaire's pride

Thunderstorms were rare in this part of the country. Most especially the country side but somehow, today was different. Along the narrow dirty road, a male figure could be seen dragging himself while searching wildly for a place of safety. He appeared injured and rough, like an untamed wounded beast. Suddenly, to make it worse, the heavens cried at his helplessness soaking him to the bones. The road suddenly became slippery and it was difficult to tread on. He moved towards the direction of the local market. The stall owners were trying to arrange their goods to avoid the rain from spilling on it." Where is he?" A faint voice behind said." I can't even find his shadow, it's like he disappeared into thin air." Another voice said. Series of foot steps moved towards his direction searching the local market as well as destroying the goods of the commoners. He moved desperately in search of a hidden shelter but found none. The loud angry voices of aggravated stall owners and the sound o

Marcus had secretly been keeping an eye on Anita. His men had successfully gathered everything there is to know about her. Every single action and activity she did was reported to him. He couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something about her he didn't know about. He kept looking at the vast garden from the French window and took a slow sip on the whiskey. He swirl the glass while looking thoughtfully at the dark thorny rose flowers in the garden. They reminded him of her. Enchanting and deadly. At every corner where he stood to watch her, he was always entranced. She was becoming his addiction especially when she wore her her little red gown. She occupied every bit of his mind. He slowly put down his glass on the wooden Italian table and walked towards the bed. He stared dangerously at the woman on his bed and took off his tie. "Take off your clothes" Just like every other woman, this woman just wanted to have sex with him and get paid. His womanizing habit had tw

SMASH! SMASH! CRASH! At the corner of the house, Three man clustering together, trying to avoid the shreads of the wine glasses." What do you mean by you have no idea if she has a man in her home or not? Do I pay you to be fools!?" Marcus calmly raised his voice and pointed at them with a bloody hand. It appears he had injured himself in the process.The goofy man Walk in immediately and spoke. " Sir, we watched over her 24 hours every day and for months, I have not seen the sight of even a male creature in her home. Wether dog, goat or pig." He glanced at the three men at the corner and scoffed."Then why did she get a man's brief??" Marcus sized him up. "We can't jump into conclusions yet sir, it may have been for a family member.""Zikel, I expected more from you. I'll give you one last chance, find out whosoever is living with her in her home and report back to me without 24 hours." "But sir we have an important gov..." "Shut your mouth and do as I say." Marcus roared and cut

***Three years later***"Can't you get a simple thing done?" The staffs heard their boss roar from his office. The little assistant ran out in a hurry whilst trying to hold onto the files she was given. It had been this way ever since his return. He was know to be more ruthless than ever.Kai hissed at the migraine he was having. Since his return to his country, as well as his company, thing had taken a drastic turn. He fired a few executives, managers and departmental heads but got bored at the fact that they won't reveal who sent them. Stealing the company's secrets wasn't as simple as stealing a baby's toy. He had placed them in a place where not even his parents knew with a high level security. He knew within himself that the real traitor was beside him. He rested his back on his chair and massaged the area because his brows. These three years had been hell. He had worked none stop with two aims in his head. One was to sniff out those traitors and the other was to forget about

It's been three years, Anita wore a stone cold look as she barged into Marcus's apartment.Ever since Kai disappeared, she found herself spending more time with him. Maybe to blow off some steams especially when she was annoyed but he was a good boxing partner and a perhaps a friend.She pushed open another door that led to the boxing ring. Some of the men she hated to see sat around half naked. She could smell the stench of sweet and cigarettes in the air. "Hey Anne" Zikel called out announcing her presence. A few men cat-called her earning a middle finger from Anita. She scanned the crowd and didn't see the person she was looking for."Where's he?""Who?""Your Boss""Why do you care?"In a flash, Zikel was thrown on the floor, begging for his life with a pocket knife on his neck. Anita asked one more time earning a groan from him. The men gathered around cheering and snickering at his unfortunate downfall."You should know me by now Zik, the word patience doesn't exist in my di
