...Deucalion and his two bodyguards entered the elevator and pressed the third floor. After minutes, the elevator halted and he came out. He walked to her office and entered, while his guards kept watch. Ellison was surprised to see him at her office as she stood on her heels instantly. She bowed her head in respect. "Good day, sir. Are you here for my boss? Give me a second, let me go and notify him." She said and wanted to walk away."No. I'm here for you." He said.Ellison stopped and turned to him in confusion. "Is there anything I can help you with?" she asked.Deucalion took a step closer to her. "Yes, there is. I have known you for such a long time to know how you got to this level. I'm looking for footage from years ago. Is it in your custody?" He asked.Ellison lowered her head, still perplexed with her situation. She swallowed hard before getting herself to speak. "I don't know what you're talking about sir. I've seen no footage," she said.Deucalion scoffed. "I hate lie
...Ellabelle had just finished bathing Miguel and was putting on his clothes. Miguel had been asking about her mother since he woke up and she'd tried to convince him, she was on her way. She knew her ma'am went out earlier to see her husband but she couldn't tell him. "Miguel, don't worry. I'm sure your mother and father are on their way with your Chocolate candy. If you remain a good boy and don't cry you'll lick the Candy... Okay?"Miguel chuckled and gave her a nod.Just then, she started hearing noises from outside and let go of Miguel. She went to the window to check it out. She saw many men with covered noses as they barged inside the gate. As the guards tried to fight them, they threw the dangerous lachrymator on the ground. Ellabelle saw when all the guards fell on their knees, gasping for air. She was shocked and suddenly crippled at the scene. She turned and ran to Miguel immediately. "Let's go, Miguel." She ran to the room and locked herself. The men barged inside and
"No. Nooo!!!" Lorenzo roared. "Don't leave me. Please." He growled as hot tears blurred his vision, sliding down his cheek. Atkins burst into sheer laughter at seeing him wailing in anguish. "I love that brother. What a sight?" He mocked. "I never knew I'd see this day. The day I'd see you squealing in pain." Atkins was still reliving the moment when the cops graced them with their presence, immediately surrounding them. Atkins was caught in the act, his gun still in his hand. He wanted to make a run for it but it was too late. One of the officers seized the gun from him, encircling the handcuff around him.Lorenzo growled and roared as tears slipped past his lashes, trailing down his suit. He placed Lincoln's head on the concrete ground and raced towards his good-for-nothing brother, curling his fists to a ball to beat him black and blue but the detectives wouldn't let him. He fought his way through and eventually got his hands on Atkins, lifting him up his collar. Lorenzo's heart
Deucalion was told he had a visitor. He came out of his room and saw Thurlow. "Thurlow what a pleasant surprise." He said and shook hands with him. "Please sit." He said and sat down on his king-sized chair."Thank you," Thurlow said and gently sat down. The servant came and served the drinks before leaving.Deucalion poured the wine into the glasses and handed him one. "So tell me, to what do I owe this honour?" he asked."I'm here for business, Deu." "You are always about business." Deucalion said and took a sip from his cup before continuing. "How can I help you?""I'll go straight to the point then. I want you to sell one of your biggest estates to me. I have this newest construction I'm currently working on. I'll be needing the site. I'll add fifty per cent of the initial price to the payment.""Hmm... make it double," Deucalion said trying to start a negotiation. "Deal," Thurlow said without any hesitation."Wow! Seems like you just keep getting richer Thurlow. By the looks o
Fraghanan just finished making arrangements for his next election campaign. He was happy that his wife and child went on a vacation and was left alone in the entire building. He walked out of his office and entered his room. He'd planned on how to invite his mistress secretly when his gaze fell on his window. "I'm coming for you tonight." It was the exact same message.He was shocked and filled with terror as he gazed around the room. He tried to move but was momentarily paralysed as beads of perspiration dripped down his forehead. Long seconds passed before he came out from his trance-like state. His hands trembled as he brought out his handkerchief and wiped off his face to see clearly. He didn't look back as he opened the door and ran out. "I have to meet Deucalion." He mumbled and entered his car. The driver started the engine and he sped off. *******Fraghanan was allowed entrance to the gate as the driver drove in and parked the car. He climbed out and entered th
Lorenzo was on his way back from meeting one of his business associates. Ellison was in the backseat with him with her phone keeping herself updated when she saw the news. "Mr. Fraghanan one of the contestants campaigning for election was assassinated and his death still remains a mystery. The cops are doing everything they can to find his killer."Ellison sighed and shook her head. "It can't be." She mumbled and dropped her phone before turning her gaze to her boss."What's wrong, Ellison?" he asked."Sir, Mr. Fraghanan was assassinated this morning during his campaign. It's all in the social media." She said softly.Lorenzo couldn't comprehend what she was getting at. He just couldn't believe he'd lost one of his directors again. He ordered his driver to turn on the radio and the man carried out the order without delay. He was angered, confused and frustrated upon hearing the news. Something must be wrong somewhere. He thought and dialled his father's number severally but it kept go
"You don't have to apologize. It's my fault. I should have told you sooner." She said in tears, wiping her eyes as she pulled me into a hug. "Don't cry anymore, my child. I can't afford to see you in tears." She eased back, wiping my teary face."Thanks, Mum. Thanks for telling me the truth.""Are you hungry? I made lunch." She said softly.I shook my head. "I'm good. I only need some rest." I said as my eyes went round my room. I saw Miguel's cot at the extreme and knew he had already gone off to sleep. My gaze fell on the present underneath the table."What's that, Mum?" I asked, curiously."This? Your stepdad was so happy when he got promoted and decided to buy you a present. Damon believed you'd surely come back for it. And you did. I've been praying for your arrival ever since." She went and brought it out, handing it over to me. "I hope you will like it."I grabbed the package, ripping it entirely off. I gasped excitedly as I saw the purple designer handbag and a sparkling brace
9:35 Pm.Night.So, that was how it happened. It was probably the reason why he couldn't find Malton. So those three had been friends with Sophie's father all along, then how could they betray him? He thought. Sighing, he raked his fingers through his hair. He wouldn't allow anything to befall his Dad. He will protect him. It was never Webster's fault. He battled with his mind, thinking hard about whether to tell his wife what he'd just found out. In the end, he decided it was best not to.His driver parked the car and opened the door for him. He came down and walked inside his house. He went to his room and dropped the briefcase before removing his clothes. He entered the bathroom and had a warm bath, to clear his lousy thoughts. When he went to select his robe, a knock came in. He waited till he was done. "Come in."The door opened and she stepped in. "Sir, your dinner's served." Lorenzo gazed at her and pointed at the table. "Drop it there." She did as she was told with her head
