Chapter 50: Christopher's past
‘The study room should be upstairs,’ Ryan mumbled. The wide staircase landed right in front of his feet as he stepped on the stairs, hoping no one will disturb him anymore that he was meeting his grandfather, who was still in the dining hall. His digestive system must be poor or he was too lazy to eat up fast that Mr. Dayholt was still in his lunch while Ryan finished. Rather than eating fast, he almost skipped everything to desserts and after a bowl of egg tart, he went off.
“Where do you think you are going?” a voice yelled behind him. Though not loud enough for people in the dining to hear him. The frail person wobbled to stand, his blood-red eyes shooting fierce glances at him. His over loose night dress, still on his frail figure, suggested his absence from the dining table. He was probably still asleep when he appeared.
“Mind your business, John,” Ryan snapped. With the thin p

Everywhere was dark in the illuminating moonlight. The crescendo moon smiling widely, yet the smile faded at the horn of a car speeding to him. Smoke lingered around, blurring the vision. Ryan’s eyes were swollen and so red it seemed someone punched him hard. Rubbing them dry, he did not consider the oncoming danger he might have. He was crossing the road with no knowledge of his surrounding. The wide road spread across the long deserted road, with a few cars seldom crossing the street.His careless road crossing made him pay for something big, something he did not expect. His blinking eyes, wet with all this grief eating him up inside, tears trickled every time he smudged them dry. He peeked through his blurring vision, a strong light dashing to him. Not understanding why this might be, his figure halted at the point. The moment he knew what came running to him, it was late.A black Lamborghini car ran forward, honking madly. It crashed right onto him and bra

The kitchen was equally empty as his entire house seemed to be. Only the necessary appliances and a big refrigerator in the corner. The gas stove laid as new as the microwave oven and other appliances, clearly showing no one comes to the kitchen much, let alone using the utensils. Plates and spoons scattered in the basin, waiting to be washed, but he strode straight to a high cabinet to find some snacks and, taking a kettle, he walked back to them. Tea pot on a tray and three cups arranged with three tea bags in each. He strolled out of there. On the way, he noticed a picture of a woman in a worn-out photo frame smiling at him delightedly stood crooked; he paused for a second but then walked off there as his both occupied hands found no way to fix it back.Ashton took a cookie from the tray as Ryan poured hot water into the cups, dipping the tea bags into each, which delivered a pleasant aroma from their cups. In a minute, the cups turned clean yellowish green as h
He Left With Nothing Chapter 53: Poor Jim
Heavy downfall scribbled on the windshield, pouring down like small streams, making their way through the glass as Ryan fixed his eyes on something rather insignificant on the window beside him.A year old child cuddled inside her mother’s lap happily. The moment her mother’s sweet lullaby resounded through the pouring noise, he felt warm, as if he was hearing his mother. People ran around to find shelter as no one expected this sudden rain, not even the weather forecast. Their scrambled footsteps splashed water everywhere on the soaked pavement.His heart raced with the tinkling of rain pouring, remembering the day he first received a full mark on his drawing in kindergarten. People normally forget those early memories, but he remembered. He remembered every tiny detail of his mother there could be. He fixed them in his heart permanently.If anyone asks him about his last wish before death, it would be to remember his mother&rsqu
He Left With Nothing Chapter 54: The board room
Chapter 54: The board roomThe long meeting room filled with undistinguishable murmurs from the table. Some elderly board members nodded in disagreement with whatever their peer member told him to and the one he was so eager to meet sat at the very end of the table, looking thoroughly bewildered at this attendance and his large rounding eyes gawking at them like a lightning struck there and a deity descended through heaven.The lady Ryan saw before twisted her face so much that she looked like a smirking pig. Her narrow cheekbones flaunting her sunken cheeks and the distracted pout on her pointed chin confided her annoyance. Ryan walked to a vacant seat right opposite to Owen who stared at him blankly the moment he noticed his presence and, quite astonishingly, trying to say something, but his throat seemed dried out with no sound coming at all.“Well, I know I have disturbed all of you a big time. I apologize.” Ryan took the chair and looked straigh

Chapter 55: In the family album“Onto our next hot topic. The Davenports found a traitor in themselves. The cars they were supposed to use in their new big project of racing course next city, they used for extra profit. And according to sources, the CEO of Dayholt, who still kept us in the dark, not revealing his identity, had no knowledge of this scam he received. Mr. Owen Davenport made no statement regarding this issue, yet this morning, sources said he went missing. His secretary, Ms. Stephanie, went to say her last goodbye to him at his apartment and she found no one while he should at least be hiding in his room.” Said a blonde Latina woman flaunting her wide chest and smiling vaguely, as if trying to seduce her audiences. She somehow reminded him of Linda, same gesture, same voice tone she used while she talked about how much she like him.Thinking of her, he realized how long it was that she stopped contacting him. She was like a bugging insect, pes
He Left With Nothing Chapter 56: Livin' bar
Chapter 56: Livin’ bar“WHAT!” Bellowed Jim. His influential voice resonated through the walls and forced its entrance into Ryan’s ear, which he pressed shut, expecting this reaction. Jim gasped at the news he just received and took the seat beside him on the armchair. Eyes widened to the size of a ping-pong ball, Jim gawked at him for more information. Yet Ryan reluctantly waited for his excitement to subdue.The room filled in silence for an entire minute when Jim broke it. “What that cracked nut came here for!”“What nut?” Ryan asked. The words he said sounded foreign to him. He rested himself on the armchair beside Jim.“Cracked nut not walnut,” Jim corrected him, thinking how could he hear cracked nut, a walnut. But the topic was what Owen was doing here. Of all places, how could he know his residence and what about the confidentiality procedure they applied? It was nonsense to think of him
He Left With Nothing Chapter 57: New CEO
Chapter 57: New CEOA newspaper hung low over the table, stating business news over the country, and the biggest headline was about them. Natalie crushed the newspaper with her bare palm. She wished the news would crush like that, too. She breathed heavily over the paper, glaring at the headline which said, “Owen, still missing. His family does not know. Are they really his family or are they after his wealth, after all?”She finally threw the paper aside with a nasty loud grumble, stamping her fist on the polished wooden table. Pens rattled on there but the other busybody did not even flinch. Over the table, another person sat quiet. His fingers playing with his mobile, a stack of papers left untouched right beside his head.“That son of a…” Mrs. Davenport cursed in air, her eyes hovering around to find any chance to yell at something or someone. There was only her son, David, busy in his mobile, with no attention to what’s
He Left With Nothing Chapter 58: The vault in Natalie's cabin
A faint caramel aroma spread through the table where Amanda sat alone. People around her gossiped on their table in their own world, trying out the delicious desserts they ordered. The walls on her side had peculiar looking arts hanging through the entire wall.Maybe art lovers will see the beauty in it, but Amy only saw some unusual blocks and colors mixed together. The owner must be a well off art lover to afford these art pieces, she reckoned when a gentle young boy, around in his teen, walked in with a tray full of desserts and served the ones she ordered.He looked as delicious as those desserts, but she had to refrain her hungry heart from doing some terrible act of flirting with a teenager. The boy left for another table and she addressed the desserts. The mouthwatering fragrance choked her. Now she understood why this place was so popular on the internet. It was far from where she worked now but a safer place in case someone eavesdrop at the
