1 CHAPTER ONE

The courtroom was even more quiet as a graveyard, everyone's eyes staring intensely at Axel like if they had missed a thing it'll be a fatal blow.some were looking at him with disdain and wondering what his sentence will be."hope it's life imprisonment",one of them said.others where wondering if he was really the one behind the murder case popping up all over the city.while others were there to spread more gossip within their circles.the once quiet room turned into murmuring as everyone dished out their own thoughts of how this will end.

The judge cleared his throat lightly and the room turned silent again."your verdict is.....",the judge started speaking and everyone's heart skipped a beat as they anticipated on his next words.

3 MONTHS AGO

In a conference room a business meeting was taking place between the shareholders of the company. "that's all, Sir".Kyle the assistant co- host of the meeting concluded,"okay,then we'll see when we meet". Axel the host of the meeting said and logged out of the screen.he wasn't physically present during the meeting but he was there.

He was the biggest shareholder in the company plus the CEO of the biggest company along other companies in Azara city . As far as everyone knows his words are law.He crashed the stock market and brought the Lord's from both the underworld and the world to their knees.

Those who were graced with his presence knows that it's best to keep their eyes and mouth shut. They know it's better not to know him at all than to know him and get in trouble, cause in a blink of an eye he would ruin your business.

Business not belonging to him,he has them on a thread to remind them of where they stand before a king. Those who don't know him at all in the business world thinks such a person like him exists still holds their peace and mind their business.

Axel is a fierce, vigilant, almighty, handsome,cold, sardastic and weird.he does all his weird stuff at home,but once it comes to business he's like a god even those that works with him acknowledge him as a god.everything about him him is perfect but what he's doing and where he is now will shock you.he's sipping cola from the bottle in a shabby one room apartment doing yoga , playing some Metal song and vibing to it, Amazing indeed.

After he was done with his morning exercise which is actually 3:30pm in the afternoon.he went to the local market to buy he's morning breakfast . He went from one stall to another bargaining with the market women on the price of the groceries.

"Madam,I'm buying this for 200",he said firmly."Are you crazy?I bought them for 600 and there are just yesterday's stock",the lady said angrily.

" if it's really yesterday's stock then these vegetables won't be looking so dry and old ".he said with a furrowed brows ."that's how it is , these vegetables are like that!, please don't spoil my market and go somewhere else".

Axel left the woman wondering how can a handsome young man be so heartless bargaining a foodstuff worth 600 to 200 , how greedy can he be ."he wants to come and cheat me , rubbish".he thinks he will get anywhere with that handsome face". she said mockingly.

The market watched as Axel walk over to another stall and it looked like he was pricing the same vegetable and the next the first vegetable seller saw was him giving the lady big stack of cash and walking away with three of those vegetables only.

She was flabbergasted,she gave him 5 for 600 and and now he's buying just three for how much-"woah , I just got 20,000 for my vegetables".the lady said who collected the big sack of money said with beaming eyes.

" What!,20,000!, that's my house rent" she thought with a fallen face. Axel walked cooly to her "can't cheat me , i saw the last time you restocked and that was three weeks ago.fix your face",he said and walked away with a smirk.

The lady gritted her teeth hard with her spoiled expression and slammed her hand on the vegetables desk.
