Chapter Sixty Nine
"And what was with the folder again?" Faith asked again looking perplexed, and confused and curious all at the same time."I was wondering that if you see Mrs. Thomas again, will you be able to recognize her." John asked and he frowned."Yes off course, I can recognize her; at least I and Julia were best of friends." Faith replied while nodding her head."Great. Because that exactly is what I order Jude to find out for me, he will take you there to confirm if it was her or not." John said finally and he stood up on his feet.Faith expression light up immediately. "Wait! You are saying you found Julia and her daughter." Faith said with much anticipation.John nod his head while walking away. "Yes, but it was just a hunch, so you will go there to confirm just as I have said before.Faith finally smiled. "No problem about that, anything my husband wanted is what I will surely do."**********************Sun aroused from thChapter SeventyEven though the news was shocking to Alexis, yet she could still controlled her emotion, she does not even screamed in surprised like the workers, it is because the news does not moved Alexis mental strength, in fact she had come across far worse situation, she had even found herself in a situation far worst then this, she was only surprised because she never expected this, not even at a hundreds of kilometer far ahead.Alexis was shocked to see this, she just didn't really understand how everything could happen all the sudden, she then listen to the news caster talking.".....The Senate President Professor John of this federation was arrested this morning, he was in the house speaking with other Senator when the EFCC barged into the house, and they stopped of the Senators, they said he was charge with false declaration of asset, when the EFCC chairman was interviewed about their sources, he did replied that they were tipped off by an anonymous man, th
Chapter Seventy OneAlexis and Tommy were usher in by an elderly woman in her late fifties, they both sat down and Alexis began to looked around the house, the inside was really furnished to the best, and part of the sitting room was used as Library section."That is Mr. Benson wife, she was also a Lawyer too, and both retired at the same time, they decided to spent their life in a quiet place, hence why they were here." Tommy explained all together.Alexis nod her head in understanding, she wanted to say something, she heard the sound of steps coming closer, when she turned around, she saw the previous woman, she was accompanied by a man who looked to be in her late sixties, just that there was still enough energy left in the man to do some extreme exercise or work.Without been told, Alexis knew that must be the so called Mr. Benson, she and Tommy stood up to greet the two elders, Mr. Benson sat down smiling at Tommy and Alexis."You must be John adopted daughter right." Mr. Benson
Chapter Seventy Two"Well it might sound crazy, but my guess was, that friends of yours named Gina might be the surviving daughter of my Boss." John said turning to Alexis."Gina had a rich dad." Tommy said with his eyes wide opened.Just when Tommy thought he had recovered from all the new shocking thi gs that he had heard today, just when he thought that he could take any shocking news without been moved, his father dropped another bombshell on him, the kind of bombshell that totally turned him to mute.Alexis on her own was no longer as surprised as when she heard that John once worked for someone, so she was more composed than Tommy was.She nod her head vigorously first. "Oh! I remember now, she always told me that she came from an influential family every time. It's just that I have never believed her words." Alexis said in a calm tone."Okay. Where is this Gina of yours?" Mr. Benson asked at the same time, he was rolling his hand in the air.Alexis touched her chest first. "I k
Chapter Seventy Three"Jude, put on the car radio please, let me listen to the car radio." she said.Jude nod his head, he said nothing to reply to Faith, but his action speak louder than voice, he did stretched and on the car radio, he tuned the radio to a right channel and left it working.The news was broadcasting and on the same channel was the news about Mr Senate President was broadcasted. Faith gasped in surprised when she heard news, she just can't comprehend the meaning of the allegation, because she really had no idea about the assets that her husband failed to declare to the public.Jude also heard the news too; he was a bit surprised at the turn of event, but it never shown in his expression, because he was a man who barely made his emotion know, just like Alexis, he might be far better than Alexis at concealing his emotion. But when he noticed that Faith was a bit disturbed about the news, quickly he put off the car radio immediately.Meanwhile Faith snapped out of sudden
Chapter Seventy FourSuddenly Gina began scared all the sudden, she can't explained why she was scared suddenly, quickly she kneel down begging. "Please Ma'am, Tommy is just a friend of mine, nothing is attached about us, we are just friends all because of Alexis, even Tommy girlfriend had given me a stern warning to let go of her boyfriend, and that moment I had tell him that we are done." Gina said all together, she even forgot that she was held by someone firmly.Faith burst to a round of laughter. "So you knew Tommy my son." She asked while laughing hysterically."Yes, I knew him very well, but he was just a friend of mine and nothing else between us" Gina replied while nodding her head vigorously."But I don't remember asking you about all of this, I just ask if Mrs Thomas is your mother, and which you replied yes confidently." Faith said all together while still laughing."I thought maybe you came to warn me about Tommy again." Gina said while stammering."I don't even know anyt
Chapter Seventy FiveJulia said, she sat down dejectedly after hearing the information from faith, she voice out as she sat down. "So you are saying, my husband killed himself for the life insurance money."Faith frowned. "No, his death was unexpected; he was coming to get you at the airport when he had an accident.""I know he died as a result of accident, but why will insurance gave the money to your husband?" Julia asked in a dejected tone."Well, maybe he trust him so much to hand his life to him." Faith replied immediately."The same person who controlled my husband business; he even usurped it as his own." Julia tone was full of scorn all through. "Trust indeed." She finally scoffed and then she stood up and wanted to walk away."Julia, when you did became this?" Faith said looking angry and sad at the same time.Julia turned around. "I became like this since my husband death. I became like this, when my husband left for me a huge debt to settle, that I have no option than sell
Chapter Seventy SixImmediately, Jude get to work, he connected the flash drive to the laptop, and just as expected, there was a password on the drive, immediately Jude got busy trying to crack the drive password, his fingers were dancing on the keyboard, Alexis eyes was glue on her stopwatch, Tommy, Faith and Julia were stunned and just staring at Alexis and Julia pulling a mafia drama."Thirty seconds more." Alexis said in a flat tone."We are in." Jude said and he pressed the enter key on the keyboard,Immediately, the content on the drive was displayed on the keyboard, and as expected, the asset, the copy of the company license, the transfer of ownership, everything needed were on a document, and kept safe and sound on the drive.Faith read all the content on the drive, and then she clapped her hand together."I said it that it's not my husband that your husband didn't trust, it was actually his attorney, that is why he put my husband as the sole proprietorship of the company, bec
Chapter Seventy SevenAlexis nod her head. “Yeah, you did close the door after yourself, but I am a professional thief, so not even an iron door could stop me.” Alexis said in a sarcastic tone.Gina looked at Tommy in the eyes, but Tommy made signs with his hand, then he whispered. “Her crazy kungfu shit that she does always.”None could heard Tommy talking, just his mouth was moving, but Gina could read his message very clearly, she wanted to send the duo out immediately, because she was still shy because of her awkward moment with Faith today, but Alexis could sense Gina intention, she cut Gina short immediately."Actually Tommy, I want to ask you a question so very important right now.” Alexis began.Tommy also had become sharp and alert since knowing Alexis, he also got the message, he also replied. “Okay bring it on.” He said with a look of seriousness in him.“When a Lady is drinking this much" Alexis began with her eyes squeezed together at first, but then she turned back at To
Chapter One Hundred and Twenty FiveImmediately the gunmen as well also open fire, just that they can't see the new perpetrator killing them, but they all can hear two man shouting military formation order to one another, and at the same time killing them. Alexis eyes opened wide, it was the look of shock and surprise, her shock was not because of the help she got from the two mysterious men, her shock was because she knew those voices, and they belong to her father and Jude. Her curiosity pushed her to come out of hiding and take a peek, only to see her father combating just like a war veteran. *******************Back at Alexis home country, John and Jude board a plane early as possible, and because it is the Senate President of the whole federation here, he was given access as soon as possible, moreover this was his own private jet, he had all of this as asset even before he became a Senate President. Inside the Aeroplane, John just sat down at one side of the plane talking to no o
Chapter One Hundred and Twenty FourBut Alexis was quick on her feet, moreover she was wise, hence she did not just run alone, instead she slip on the tiled floor, and she was sliding till she fall on to the stair case. Immediately she was on the stair case, and also save from the gun shot range, she stand on her feet and she jumped on the stair case handle, she began to slid on it till she reach the next floor, and then she jumped down. Gymnastic and acrobatic was easy for Alexis, because she was taught everything by her Master, hence stunt and flip was easy as ABC for her. Meanwhile after she jumped down from the stair case handle, she continued to run downward to the ground level, at least to escaped, but Alexis was sure of one thing, she knew that she was surrounded. Behind Alexis was gang of gunmen, because they too did not stop on the hunt, they continue to pursue after her. Meanwhile Tony, Jason, the Boss and about two other gunmen stay behind, they entered into Mr Michael offi
Chapter One Hundred and Twenty ThreeQuickly she find somewhere and she hide the two security man, then she go back to her bag, she bring out the tape and she use it on the sole of her shoe, she use the same tape on her elbow too, and finally she pack the rest of the instrument in her bag, she tied the rope on herself, and she begin to scale the wall using the rope. But she was careful enough not to leave the rope behind, hence as she go up she go along with the rope. After what seems like ten minute, she is up at her precise destination, she cut the glass and it fall down, Alexis does not care about the glass that dropped down, Alexis entered the office, and luckily for her she enter into the corridor. This was a happy achievement for her, that she smiled to herself, she continued her journey into Mr Michael office, and some seconds later she is at the office door. “Looks like I was been too paranoid, I came here prepared for some fight, but it looks like there will be no fight.” Ale
Chapter One Hundred and Twenty TwoAlexis finally sneak out of the hotel, and he trek all the way to the building, she was not in an hurry, moreover she was trying to dodge suspicions, hence she make sure to hide from CCTVs, sand instead of using the road, she pass through the back alley, this make a twenty minute journey turned forty five minute journey. All the same, Alexis get make it to the building, she bring out the map that Tommy gave to her, it was the detailed map he and Gina made for her during the day. Alexis look at the map, and from the map, she did discovered that there is about five camera in the lobby, moreover in the building there is about ten securities all parading at every five minute interval, finally Mr Michael Lucas office is at the tenth floor. Alexis heaved to herself, of course she knew there is no way, because each camera was directly opposite one another, hence dodge it is impossible, unless the source of the camera was disconnected, but Alexis does not wa
Chapter One Hundred and TwentyLucy mouth was opened wide, she was shocked to knew about how far her parent could go and make much dangerous scheme just to reap from where they did not sow, well Lucy was in support of it though, she had already have a taste of the fat cow, hence she was not ready to let go of it at any cost whatsoever it is. “I think they are discreet enough, so what could Alexis find?” Lucy also added too. Jason looked at Tony, Linda and Lucy in the eyes, and in the end, he burst to a round of laughter. "Really, and you think there is a perfect crime right." Jason said and he scoffed loudly. Tony, Linda and Lucy both frowned, because for Jason to be this scornful, surely there is a flaw in what they did. "Okay you win Jason, so tell us clearly now, what was Alexis looking for?" Lucy asked. "Finally someone reasonable is among us.” Jason said and clapped his two hand together. “Jason, I thought we discussed this.” Tony said, he was actually referring to Jason rude wor
Chapter One Hundred and Nineteen Jasonk following Alexis and her friend all around the City of Australia. Actually he had been on the lookout on the big building that once housed Mr Michael office, that was about two days ago, Tony knew very well that if Alexis wanted to find any truth about what happened twenty five years ago, the first place she will have to go to will be the venue of his wedding with Linda. Hence immediately the team touched down at Australia, he sent Jason to be on the look out and to make sure he caught Alexis at the building, and luckily for Jason, Alexis and her friend show up the second day. Actually Jason was not the patient type, he might be patient to follow after something till the end, but he was not patient to wait for it to begin, he believed in quick action, hence, when he did not see Alexis to appeared within an hour of arrival, he became restless, he made multiples calls to Tony doubting if Alexis really will come. Anyway he whine all the way till t
Chapter One Hundred and EighteenAlexis scanned Mr. Michael first, as taught by her master before his death; she always studied her victim or friend very well before she does anything or say anything, she wanted to asked something from the man, hence save need to access the situation and the victim very well before she begin.Tommy and Gina knew that Alexis owned the stage at this kind of situation, hence the duo were silent and just watching as Alexis does her things, they don’t even bother to disturbed her nor say anything to urged her on. Funny enough, Mr. Michael and Ma’am Sandra were also not in a rush too.Hence there was absolute silence in the room for like eternity.After couple minute of silent. Alexis voice out. "First, we are booking a marriage appointment with you sir, and secondly we really needed your help sir"Mr. Michael coughed out first. "I am sorry dear, I don't do conjugal Bliss again ever since about five years ago, that was when I go bankrupt, and secondly I am a
Chapter One Hundred and SeventeenGina mouth opened wide as she studied Tommy, he was sweating and his legs and body were shaking. Gina does not even knew when she broke to a round of laughter"You really are a coward as Alexis do said." Gina said in the end, that is after laughing to her heart content."Thanks for the reminder." Tommy said and he smiled too.Gina and Tommy began to talk on another matter entirely, meanwhile the Lady who leave come back and hand over a card to Gina, and then she voiced out."My dear. That should be Mr Michael contact, and I am sure you will surely find him. And from my side I wish you both a Happy Married Life." the woman said once again"Thank you ma'am." Gina said and smile once again.Immediately she dragged Tommy out and they both leave the building, they both walked out and was shocked to see Alexis outside waiting for them just by the door. She was checking out her wristwatch.“Twenty minute. Not bad for a novice." Alexis said and sneered.“How
Chapter One Hundred and SixteenTommy and Gina were stunned, they believed they came to Australia for the investigation of the wedding between Tony and Linda, but things was actually going on a fast tempo that they can’t withstand it. Funny enough, because they were the ones rushing Alexis up just about few hours ago.Meanwhile Alexis who was walking away turned around, she was on a spot for a few seconds before she walked back towards the duo, she sat down and said. “Okay guys go get dress; I can’t do this without you.”“Tommy and Gina snapped back to reality, they both swallowed the saliva that was almost dropping from their mouth because of shock. Without much ado, they both sttod up and head back to their room to change their clothes.Some minutes later, Tommy and Gina were back, they met Alexis waiting at the same place, the duo approach and immediately Alexis stood up and walked away. Outside the hotel, Alexis stopped a taxi, the trio board the car and Alexis show the driver the
