David was heading toward the hospital’s parking space for his car when his phone began to ring. He stopped by the end of the hallway and stared at the phone screen. David wasn’t used to responding to private numbers so when the call came, he had someone in mind.He quickly pulled out his official phone and placed a call.“Officer Darcey!”“How are you doing Mr. Wells?” the officer demanded.“I just got a call from a private line and if I’m not mistaken, it's the call we've been waiting for.” David supplied.“You know what to do. Just try as much as you can to stay on the line and don't forget to add me on the line too.”“Got it,” David replied. “The private number is calling again.” he quickly hung up and responded to his other phone. The moment David responded to the call, he added Officer Darcey and slipped to a corner.“Hello!”Silence reigned which David found deafening. The call was still on but no one was speaking.“Who is on the line?” David asked and cleared his throat loudly.
The captain clenched his jaw and continued dialing Cathrina’s phone number but it wasn’t going through.It’s been three days since they last met and for three days, he had been trying to get in touch with her but all efforts proved abortive.With anger coursing through his veins, he slammed the phone against the wall. The iPhone screen broke before the phone flipped and landed on the floor.“Get out!” He yelled at the bodyguards stationed by the door.They vanished.“I give you two more days Cathrina. You have two days to get your ass over here or I’ll storm Leonard’s house.” He muttered under his breath with tightened fists.***“Get the doctor right now!” Leonard cried out to David.David watched his father hug Cathrina. He had never seen fear in Leonard’s eyes but right now, he could tell that his father was frightened and that confirmed his suspicions. His father was still in love with Cathrina.David reached for his phone in his pants pocket and then stopped before pulling it out
“You tried to murder Cathrina?” Giselle’s voice came on.June was rendered speechless. She tried to station the phone on her left ear.“What the fuck are you talking about Giselle?”“Don’t you dare play games with me. Cathrina passed out a while ago at the mansion with a bullet in her hand. How dare you do this?”June’s lips parted but no words came out.“Now I know why you are wasting away in that filthy cabin. You didn’t fight with David as you alleged. You want to murder all of them.” Giselle yelled. “I’m done.”“Gisselle…I…”The line went dead before June could make a comprehensive statement.The phone slipped through her grasp and landed on the hard floor.June took her head into her hands and began to wonder. She couldn’t make sense of what Giselle was saying. She had been confined in that cabin for the last twenty-four hours.Cathrina was lying but why would she pull off such an expressive trick?June began to sweat profusely and without second thoughts, she took the phone from
David noticed how uneasy Sylvia looked so he grabbed her by the hand and began leading her toward the house.They made their way to his chamber and after slamming the door behind them, David turned to her with his arms folded across his chest.“Speak!”Sylvia sighed and cleared her throat loudly. “I think she's a spy.”David arched a brow.Sylvia slapped her thighs and began to pace. “I know you won't believe me. Who is going to believe me anyway I trust my instincts and I know what I heard but forget it. It’s useless saying this and….She was still speaking when she felt David’s arms wrapped around her waist. Sylvia stopped to wonder when David had gone behind her. She smiled.“I believe you!” David whispered into her left ear. Sylvia felt a sense of calmness envelop her. David slowly pulled his hands around her waist and placed them on her shoulders. She turned around to face him.“You were saying something about Giselle,” he said looking straight into her eyes.In his eyes, Sylvi
At that point, Sylvia couldn't control the rate at which her entire body was quivering.It turns out that Leonard and David weren't the culprits. It was Cathrina’s lover, the one she had never gotten a glimpse at.“You know what? I'm feeling dizzy from standing here to talk to you. I need to go before someone finds out that I'm not in my room.” Cathrina said.“Fine but think about your choices Cathrina. You come home with my son or I show up in that houseand wreak havoc,” he warned.Cathrina curled her lips in irritation and pushed the car door open.Sylvia was lost until she heard the car door getting slammed. Denim started the car. She quickly went back to the trunk and buried her face in her hands.Sylvia wanted to scream. She wanted to yell out all her pain and frustration but she had to keep her voice down, to keep her cover. She felt the car wheeling away and she knew they were headed towards the mansion. With trembling lips, Sylvia kept fighting to hold her tears.Cathrina turn
June was about to hit the bathtub when she got a call from Giselle. She curled her lips in irritation wondering why the nurse was calling after threatening to cut ties with her. “What do you want?” she spat after responding to the call.“You should go online.”“What the fuck are you talking about? I don't want to access my socials anyway.” June retorted.“Perhaps you should check out the image I'll send to you right now,” Giselle said and hung up.June sighed and lowered the phone to her chest. A few moments later, she got a notification. She quickly checked the message.Her eyes widened in horror.The image Giselle sent to her was a poster with the caption wanted for attempted murder by the New York police. There was her picture taking a large part of the poster with her details underneath.She stormed out to meet her Godfather.He wasn't in the living room so June headed straight to his chamber. Without knocking on his door, she barged in and met him sipping from a glass of wine in
The Wells mansion was decorated with the finest Christmas lights. In the compound, round tables, chairs, plastic poles, and other mind-blowing settings were in place.Leonard hired experts to do the job, ridding all the servants of their tasks that day.A renowned event planning company was hired and tonight, they'll be handling everything at the End of year party. This is the time of the year when the servants are treated as VIPS. All the servants had gone home the previous day. They were to reunite at 7 pm sharp that evening. Also, the security team was not spared. Leonard had spoken to the sheriff so about thirty mems were deployed to the mansion that evening. Leonard wanted more security guards apart from the needed fifteen because Cathrina’s lover might show up and try to create a scene. By 6 pm, all structures were in place and the event planning team was on standby, waiting for the night’s guests. David and Leonard were out to supervise the arrangements while Cathrina was i
A man dressed in a white tuxedo stepped out from one of the black vans that had pulled over in front of the Wells mansion. He adjusted his bulletproof vest. It was the captain.He stormed the Wells mansion with his security experts consisting of snipers, assassins, and trained men. They arrived in five black vans and before the police officers at the gate could reinforce, they threw a grenade into the house that shook its foundation.While the police officers and the captain’s men were engaged in a heated gun battle, he was led by a group of armed men into the house. Leonard and David were in their respective chambers when the blast happened. Eleanor and Fred, together with the rest of the servants were in the party scene when the ground shook, causing the tables and decorations to tremble, creating a mess.Some of the servants had sustained injuries from the unexpected fall. At Maurice’s command, they hurried toward the house and headed to the security rooms created in the mansion
