“Then, get to work and stop interrogating her.” Douglas shrieked at the Corp.

The Corp made a silent scoff and looked away.

“Who are you to tell me how to go about my work? You are not even married to her.” He mumbled, loud enough for everyone to hear.

Everyone's gaze fell on the heavily bodied Corp who didn't seem scared of Douglas or bothered about his status. Those words caused Douglas's teeth to tighten in rage.

“How dare you asshole?” Douglas threatened bitterly.

Meanwhile, the man had continued going about his business as soon as spouted those words. He didn't care if his words would hit hard on anyone.

“How dare you? Do you know I can sue you for this statement?” Douglas retorted at his own words.

He advanced towards the man who was standing transfixed at a spot.

Their eyes locked into each other's eyes. Douglas was panting like he was going to explode on the him but the latter didn't flinch one bit.

    “Over there.” Raymond said, pointing at the back seat.Isa gently crawled into the back seat, making sure she avoided the navigator chamber.Her eyes traveled to the documents hanging inside what seemed like a bag attached to the back of the driver's seat.She quickly grabbed it and opened it. She scanned her eyes through the first page. It was the introductory part of Mr Bennett's will.Where he took his time to introduce all the staff and executives in Bennett's company. He also went ahead to draft out the relationship he had with each person and mentioned three persons she could trust the documents with.Isa's heart was beating nonstop as a series of thoughts drifted inside her head. She didn't know where all this was leading to.Before she went over to the next page; where she was certain that she would find the statement of his will, she paused and puffed out.She wondered why her father did what he did. She knew nothing about the company. She has been kept in the shadows all her

    “Besides, when did it become so easy to get the priest's approval in a couple of hours?” The lab director retorted to his own words.“Right.” Raymond nodded in affirmation.“All I know is that getting an approval from a priest can take weeks before it could be approved since it passes through the priests to the bishop to get it signed.”“I thought so too.” The lab director responded and continued sprinkling the brownish substance on the plant shoots.“The priest said they are rushing the burial because of her health condition.” Isa mumbled and sighed in exasperation.“What sort of health condition?” The lab director asked, retracting the test tube from the plant shoots to cast a glance on his wrist watch.“I can't tell. She might have forged a medical report to deceive the priests…” Raymond cut through his words and paused instantly.The plant shoots were drastically changing to what he couldn't fathom.“What is going on?” “Does the substance lead to fast aging?” She asked, scrutiniz

    Just as Evelyn walked her Mom to her room, she made her lie on the bed and tossed the duvet over her body, allowing it to stop around her shoulder.She paced to and fro, thinking of the next steps to take. She had heard Douglas offering to walk the Corp around the Mansion, the pit of her stomach churned in uneasiness.What if the Corp finds something?No way, she would definitely go and find them and restrict him from going into some areas.Just as she was about to leave, her Mom called her with a soft voice.“Evelyn, come back.” Mrs Rhoda Bennett mumbled and puffed out hot air, shoving off the duvet from her body.Evelyn was astounded. She turned around and saw her Mom already seated straight up on the bed.She lost her words for a few minutes.“Mom…I thought you passed out.” She stammered, advancing towards the bed.“Hmmm…” Mrs Rhoda Bennett muttered with a scoff. She tilted her neck sideways for a crack.“I had to do what I knew how to do in order to tear off accusing fingers that

    Back at Bennett's mansion, Raymond drove into the compound at a high speed. He drove in with a high speed, not expecting to see any other car in the parking space except for Mrs Rhoda Bennett's car.There was a black Acura parked beside Mrs Rhoda Bennett's car.As she climbed down from Raymond's car, she stared intensely at the car. “It's just a car. Why are you mopping at it that way?” Raymond teased, following her gaze.“C'mon, we have to go in. Once everything is over, I am going to get you exactly this type of car if that's what you want.” He added and jammed the car door.Isa's gaze wouldn't tear off one bit from the Acura car. It didn't seem as if she was staring at the car in admiration.The car reminded her of something.What exactly? She mumbled to herself and racked through her brain.“This car looks familiar, right?” She asked Raymond with a curious glimpse.“I don't think so.” Raymond replied with a shrug.“If you say so.” She responded and turned around to go into the ma

    “But you know what, I aren't acting any drama this time around. I'm doing this for the safety of my health.” Mrs Rhoda Bennett mumbled and snapped her fingers.Isa ran her eyes over the latter's body in scrutiny.No matter what she said, she wasn't ever going to take in her words.She felt this was the only opportunity for her to pay her last respect to her father.That last picture of him couldn't leave her memory. She continued replaying his soothing voice in her head. She wouldn't have believed it if someone had told her that it would be the last time she would get to see or speak to her father.At this point, she felt like giving up on everything; her revenge plans. She felt like backing off and running away to a far away land.Because for some minutes, she wondered what would be her yield if she eventually won the battle.Would she be the only person to celebrate her victory? Her Mom and her father have joined their ancestors.What if she backs off and disappears to a far away c

    She stubbornly struggled with him. Corp Bellick's rage heightened instantly. He forcefully locked her wrists inside the cuffs and escorted her to the Hilux.He didn't care anymore. She must have thought that this case would turn out like the numerous cases where they got a special order from the general not to meddle into Bennett's family affairs.Not anymore. Not when Mr Bennett died a cold death. He knew the general and of how much he hated Mrs Rhoda Bennett.Perhaps, he would use this opportunity to reopen her formal cases; the cases that were buried due to Mr Bennett's influence.Mrs Rhoda Bennett turned around and her last gaze fell on Isabella.Isa bit her lips. She could feel the pit of her stomach churned in excitement. This is exactly how she would punish each and everyone of them.She knew that in no time, she would be granted bail. She assumed she would use Mr Bennett's burial as a key excuse.She didn't care, she just wanted to do what she always wanted to do.“An autopsy.

    On the express road to the city, Raymond had to ask for directions to the hospital where the ambulance came from.He couldn't bear seeing the look on Isabella's face anymore. She looked so pathetic, embracing the brown envelope like it meant the whole world to her.“Isa, I don't like what you are doing right now.” He mumbled and pressed the deceleration button. “What I'm I doing?” She mumbled, trying hard not to look up at his face.“If you are confident that you did nothing wrong, why then are you avoiding looking up?” He asked, keeping his gaze glued at her.Isa kept mute. She couldn't feel the breeze from the high speed of the car. She imagined that something had gone wrong and finally looked up to check for herself.“Just the traffic.” He responded before her eyes met with his.At that moment, she swallowed a lump. She felt wet tears gathering in her eyes. She must have been deeply in tears that's why she didn't notice it on time and now, Raymond's gaze.She just wished that he d

    Isabella and Raymond both narrowed their eyes in confusion. They got their mind wandering like wildfire. There's a lot of dots that need to be connected. For goodness sake, Mrs Rhoda Bennett earlier told the Corp that she went for an urgent business meeting.Since it was urgent, what time did she get to still register Mr Bennett's body to the morgue?Talking of how she walked inside the mansion; like she heard the news on reaching the gate.She even passed out in front of everyone.It could be that she heard the news during the meeting and went straight to the morgue from there.Or what is this whole thing all about? The witch is so smart that nobody has ever caught her in all her acts.“Please sir, what time was Mr Bennett registered yesterday?” Isa asked, curiously.“Ma'am, I'm afraid but I can't tell you anything more until you provide the original copy of the bio used to register him here.” The man replied and pinched his brows.Isa cast a tiresome glance at Raymond.“I can't be

    Raymond shot a glance at the taxi's speedometer. It was at its highest but the car wasn't running as fast as he had expected.He urged the driver to drive faster as he could sense danger from afar. Not too far away. The nearer the black Honda came, the deeper he could feel the danger.Suddenly, the black honda pulled itself into the same level with the taxi. He saw four men putting on black masks. They were unrecognizable except from the tiny holes around their eyes which permitted them to see through and the tiny hole below their nostrils which allowed the passage of air.At this point, Raymond knew that he was in very big trouble. He could see a long pistol hanging across each man's chest and he saw a burning rage flaming in each of their eyeballs.He thought of nothing else but Isabella. How she was doing, what she might be doing at the moment or what could be going on through her thoughts. He recalled how she pleaded with him not to leave and how she told him it was dangerous outs

    Isabella muttered one last prayer before she shifted the laptop to herself to input the password.Sure, she wouldn't let him see the password because she couldn't trust anybody.She added more energy to hasten whatsoever she was doing. She wasn't sure who the suspect was.It could be the chairman but she hoped it shouldn't be him.On her first try, she unlocked the company's shares. She threw a galbce at the chairman who widened his eyes in shock.“How did you manage to know this?” The chairman suddenly asked in amazement.Isa just made a smirk.“Chairman, you forget things so easily. You must have forgotten that I was the same person that built this company to the top ten. Who do you think created the password to the company's shares?” She asked, making another cold smirk.The chairman took a deep breath and laughed.He couldn't possibly believe what she just said.“How is that possible. I thought Douglas was a smart man. Why didn't he change the password to the company's shares, kno

    As soon as they got inside the upper room, the system operators began to tremble on seeing the police men.The manager had to assure them that they weren't here to get them arrested.“All I need is your cooperation and nothing more.” The inspector mumbled to them to put their hearts at ease.He knew what they were scared of. Of course, they were young, vibrant guys and they might probably be involved in cyber crimes or internet fraud but he wasn't interested in any of that.The only thing he set his mind to do is to dig out who the culprit is.“Replay the clips, starting from this morning.” He said, narrowing his eyes.They turned on the TV that was connected to the cameras at the morgue attendant's room.The inspector watched the TV with every gusto in him. His eyes widened in shock as he saw Isa and Raymond walk inside the office.He maintained his steeze as they watched the TV from the moment the duo walked in to the moment the uniformed able bodied men left the morgue with the mor

    In the middle of their interaction, a call came in from the Federal Government. One of the ladies picked up the call and pressed the loud speaker button for everyone to hear what they had to say to each other.At this point, the case was resting in the hollow palms of the citizens. They were disappointed in the federal government for what happened.The individual who communicated with them wasn't specifically the federal government but an arm and messenger from the federal government.“This message is coming directly from the Federal government. I am here to tell you all that you have falsely been accusing them for what they know nothing about.” The baritone voice began from the other end and paused halfway to catch a breath.An unusual deafening silence drifted in. It was so quiet that if a pin was thrown on the floor, the sound would be heard clearly.“They have heard all your complaints and have decided to find the suspects behind the death of the morgue attendant and the patholog

    As the cool evening wrapped closer, the police station became crowded as officers trotted out from the inspector general's office.They were all coming from the inspector general's office. He called them after the news reported the death of the lady.Actually, the police station branch where Mrs Rhoda Bennett was arrested had nothing to do with the case of the dead lady but the inspector general took it upon himself to investigate the case.He called the inspector general of that branch and requested that the case be transferred to his own branch.And yes was his answer because they were once good friends.The inspector general called his officers afterwards and commanded them to go and fetch any evidence that could be linked to the death of the lady.“Go out there. Do whatever you have to do to fetch me the cause of the lady's death.” He had said when he was addressing the officers. They were all lined up like soldiers ready for war.

    Isa was still curled up like a baby in the duvet when her phone began to ring. She became so scared and wondered who it might be.She alighted from the bed and grabbed the phone from the top of the drawer. She glanced at her phone screen and saw that it was the chairman. She was supposed to meet up with him after getting the autopsy results but the car crash accident became a big barrier.Since then, she hasn't gotten the opportunity to reschedule their meeting and now he is calling her phone.She didn't know what to do; whether to pick up the call and tell him that a lot of things went wrong from the time they were meant to meet or give him a run down of the trouble they were in which got them into another city.On a second thought, she restrained herself.

    She shut her eyes, allowing her memory to dance in the ecstasy of his kiss.He began to suck her mouth slowly, sliding his tongue into every corner of her mouth. He almost choked her to death.He kept on sliding in as if he was searching for something precious to him.Suddenly, he paused and looked into her eyes. She reciprocated with an alluring smile and licked her lips.At that moment, she felt safe and satisfied with him and wished there would be a way for her to repay him for all that he has done for her.Staring into her face, his eyes slowly traveled to the nape of her neck. He felt like sucking the hell out of her lith skin.The manner in which she stared at him showed that she was longing for more of his kisses but what he felt at that moment was more than a kiss.He wished she was his already so he could toss her into his arms and deal with her in the measure he longed for.“Why are you staring at me like that?” He whispered to her.She became quite flustered at his words.

    How would she make this lady understand that she is on the run? And that she can't trust anyone at the moment.“Hey, pretty…don't act like you don't like what I'm offering you.” The lady said sarcastically, tugging at Isabella's blouse.Isa became alert and looked up at the lady. Why did she tug at her in that manner? Is it mandatory to accept her nasty offers?Something about her made her feel so uncomfortable. She threw a gaze towards Raymond but he was still focused on filling the form.The moment he lifted his head and saw the lady on the black blazers, he screamed Isabella's name.“Run.” He shouted with the top of his voice, looking through a crowd that suddenly appeared from nowhere.Perhaps, it was time to board the plane.Isabella sprang up from the bench and began to run, forcing herself through the crowd.She was panting like never before. There was nothing else on her mind other than to get hold of Raymond's hands.She managed to tilt her neck backwards as she caught a gli

    He suddenly pulled the car to the side of the road. Everything seemed like a dream to him. It's barely ten minutes since they drove out of the morgue and barely fifteen minutes since those uniformed men took the pathologist and the morgue attendant away.How possible could it be that they were both found dead? Actually the Airlines news station doesn't give fake information.“The pathologist and the morgue attendant are both dead?” Isa asked, perplexed.“How could that be possible?” He replied with scrutiny on his face.A while ago, three uniformed men who claimed to come from the Federal Government came and cuffed them out of the morgue.According to the news, their death didn't result from any form of car accident.Which only means one thing. Those men were sent to kill the pathologist and the morgue attendant.But why? Raymond shaked his head vehemently as a series of thoughts stormed into his head.If those men truly came from the Federal Government, they would kill only the path
