Hanks gun was fixed directly at Vera, looking enormous and dangerous. I'll bet at any minutes, he'd shoot. Vera looked like someone who'd just swallowed a bee and a not soo impressive bee at that. I watched these two, scared of what would happen next and also scared for my life. " So, you thought you could double cross me and make away with all that money and Fred. I always knew you were up to no good, Vera. I've been watching you and Fred. You do sneak out every evening to meet him don't you?" Vera kicked her dried lips. " Hank I....it's not.... Fred's just....he doesn't mean anything to me, believe me." Hanks lips peeled into a snarl. " I'd rather believe a dog than a snake like you. You've had me for a stucker. Now you're going to pay the price." Vera yelled. " Hank, wait. Think about it, if you kill me, you'd never get the money. If I'm dead, the will would be useless to you. Without me, there's no $4.2 b

We didn't head back to the mansion as I was expecting. Instead we drove into an abandoned farm house at the outskirts of banana island. " What are we doing here?" I asked suspiciously. My mind couldn't work. It was as if I was being stored in a deep freezer. Vera turned to me with a sneer in her voice. " If you don't shut up now, I'm going to put a bullet to your head." I didn't say anything because I knew if I wasn't careful with this lady, I might end up like Carmen and Wesley. " Where the hell is Fred?" She demanded as Hank pulled up. " He is inside the house," Hank answered, jerking his thumb at the car parked behind them. From inside the house, I saw a young man running towards where the Limo stood. I regarded him with interest. He was to me, one of the most good-looking guys I've ever seen. My, I'd say he was way good-looking than I was. " For God's sake, Hank

On our way going back home, I was faced with one obstacle and that was keeping these people in the office. I knew the moment we arrived home, they'd kill me and my mom. By now, Hillary must've decoded the information stored up in that bangle and microphone. Everything that was being said since I got kidnapped were recorded and stored up for his ears only. It was only a matter of time before the police were called. To be certain the gang didn't notice my missing bangle, I buried my hands inside my pockets and walked towards the parking lot with my face in the air. I had to slow them down somehow. They can't bear to arrive home just yet. I began wracking my brain for a solution to this particular problem. We got into the car and zoomed off. This time around, Vera sat down in the Limo with Carmen and Wesley. My Lamborghini was being driven by one of the security guards. " You have played your cards pre

On our way to join the others, I started again. " What happens if eventually, you find out she cheated on you?" Hank growled in his throat. " Vera would never cheat on me. She's not that type of girl. Shut up Kelvin. You're talking too much." But I was determined to win this guy over to me. " I was just imagining what it'd look like if eventually Vera took all the money and ran off with another cute handsome man. You can't trust young girls these days. Girls do crazy things for the sake of love. Maybe she has a lover, maybe she's doing all these for his sake. You never know—" He held my shoulders and shooked me hard with his voice bawling in my ears. " Shut the hell up or I'll damn well blow your mouth the same way I did to your mother!" Did what I said affect him? I wouldn't know. He was one tough ugly ape. I could get nothing out of him. Just then, Justice Hillary's secretary announced to us that he had arrive

It was dawn. The breaking of a new day, the day I was to present myself to meeting Justice Hillary. I was given a shower, had a change of clothes and was brought before Vera. Vera and the gang were all at the table, having breakfast when I stepped into the room with Hank. Carmen and Wesley ate opposite each other while Vera ate from the other side of the table. " Join us, Kelvin," Vera said, waving me a hand to my chair. " You must be famished." Hank pushed me forward and I walked towards an empty seat, secretly cursing his mom and dad. I just couldn't get This ape out of my sight. When I'm bathing, he's there, when I was changing my clothes, he was also there and now as I settled down on my seats for today's meeting, she had stood behind me , watching me closely in case I tried to pull a crazy stunt. " Sorry about the gun," Vera spoke. " I should'nt have brought that up but you made me." "

Vera was waiting for me in Doris office. Wesley, the dumb lawyer was also there and so was Carmen. They all sat up as I entered with Hank. Hank shut the door and stood behind it, watching me as I walked around to a seat and sat down with my legs crossed. Vera studied my cool confident look and she smirk. " I can see you're feeling at ease, Kelvin. Now tell me, what are you planning?" " I'm not planning anything, Vera," I said, watching her with beady eyes. " You want my signature, you'll have to pay for it." Carmel who was raising a cigarette to her lips stopped, Wesley raised an eyebrow and Hank just stared without making any expression. Vera smiled more broadly. " I'll have to pay for your signature ehh? Exactly how much is this signature of yours? One million? Thirty million? A hundred million? Name your price let's talk business." " I want Doris out of the cellar," I said ticking the tips off my fingers.
