"Father, are you just going to sit and watch Lucas get nominated as the party's flag bearer?" Theodore bellowed as he followed his father from the Parking lot to their mansion.

" Harrison will soon be done with his degree, we can postpone the elections. You have the power to. No one can question you. But we can't let that idiot become the new governor, we can't let anyone else be the governor regardless of what party they come from!" He continued.

His father turned back and slapt him across the face.

" I am ashamed of you Theo, ashamed of calling you my son!!" He said, pointing at him.

" What was with your display at the board meeting? How many times will I have to tell you to control yourself, especially in public. People are watching!! The media houses are looking for what to publish. Why don't you ever understand?" He thundered at him.

Theodore kept silent. He had no limp to argue with his father. He wouldn't win.

Instead he allowed a beclouded expression take over his face. He wa

    "Move faster Claude,is that all you could do?" Genevieve screamed at the man on top of her, trying his hardest to move faster like she had commanded to match her pace.He intensified his speed hoping it would match her desired frequency but it only earned him a slap from her and her pushing him away from her naked body."Did you not take the drugs I bought for you to be taking each time you fucked me? What's with the sluggish thrusts?" She questioned with annoyance written all over her face."I did take them and they keep on messing with my system. It's not my fault your libido is too high" he answered back, regretting why he did as another slap landed across his face." You now have the guts to answer back? Don't forget I made you whom you are Claude. Without me you're nothing. You're my slave, whatever I command you to do should be done without you thinking twice about it" she retorted in an assertive tone." I'm not your slave Genevieve, I am just your partner.

    The morning sun was slowly setting and Montenegro sat in his car while his driver drove him off to work."What? How dare he do such a thing without informing us before hand?" He asked the man over the phone as he heard the news, as if he would have answers to all his questions." Reverse the car. Drive me to the Party's house and not the company anymore" he commanded his driver and he followed his orders immediately without delay.On getting to the front of the party house, he saw that other members of the party has gotten the news as well and had all come rushing to the house.Sinclair was seated quietly in the boardroom awaiting their presence, as if he had known that his actions would illicit such response from the other party members."How dare you transfer your shares as the founding father of this party to someone without informing us!!! You acted unilaterally without informing us the other floor members!!!" Montenegro shouted on top of his lungs.He seemed to be the most perso

    The sound of cutleries clanking on ceramic plates filled the air.Genevieve ate how she wanted, she was in her father's mansion, she cared not about her husband who seemed to consume a spoon of food in some minutes time each.Her brother sat across the table, eating as well while stealing occasionally angry stares at her husband who seemed not to notice or not mind him.His wife was beside him, eating meekly, the way she had always done since she got married into their family.It was already years, she should stop with the pretense already, she told herself.Maya sat beside her father and ate slowly like him too. He would turn over to her and scoop some food into her plate urging her to eat up her food, lest she'd make her grandfather angry.Her father sat at the extreme end of the table and was eating too. They continued to eat in silence at the much anticipated family dinner her father had commanded them all to be in attendance to. The tension in the air was palpable but each per

    "Your jealousy of your brother in law is written all over your face Theodore" Montenegro Mr. began after he walked up to him sitting alone at the roof top." He is not the reason you could not get through law school. He never asked you to be dump and fail all your papers regardless of all I did to secure an admission for you. So why are you making it seem as if he's the cause of your failures?"Theodore's expressions hardened as he heard his father's words. He had come up to the roof top to find solace in the quietude of the night and away from everyone, but his father had followed him up and was now making him angrier than he already was."What?" He asked as his jaws dropped."You are frustrated and it has festered into a deep resentment for your brother in law. He is not the reason you squandered the opportunities I provided you with. Stop feeling bitter towards him and letting your emotions get the best of you especially in public" he finished and turned to leave." So now you fee

    Lucas advanced to where Faye sat with his daughter in her arms and laps to take her.She adjusted, giving him room as he bent to take Maya from her arms and their hands brushed against each other for a moment which Lucas immediately halted by taking his hand away from hers.Her hand lingered on Maya's back longer than necessary and she knowingly grazed Lucas' hand again with her fingertips as she relinquished her hold on the sleeping girl. The touch was brief but it spoke volumes to Lucas, igniting a spark of something unspoken between them.He felt a rush of warm contact, a sensation he had felt in a long time.He looked up at Faye and his eyes met hers. He immediately withdrew his gaze from her.She was beautiful and was trapping him in a web he didn't want to end up in. A path he didn't want to go down in."Thank you for taking care of my daughter ma'am. I appreciate your care" he spoke up, ending the silence that seemed to hover over them."She is a special girl" she replied and

    "You're thoughtful Lucas!!! Organizing an outreach for orphanages in Montenegro? That was thoughtful" Lucas listened stunned as his father in law praised him."Outreach for orphanages? I did no such thing. What are you talking about?" He asked his father in law, with an unknown expression written all over his face. He was not the one that sponsored any orphanage outreach, in short he had done nothing throughout the weekend other than spending time with his daughter to make up for the emotional turmoil she has endured during the week.Nathaniel who stood few centimeters away from where Lucas was became curious.

    Morgana's heart was heavy as she walked into the airport. Going to Italy seemed to be the only solution to the guilt she felt. No, that wasn't what she wanted. That was never what she had envisaged her revenge to end up as. It took a different turn because of Lucas' decision. All she had planned, the years and efforts she had wasted hoping to put Genevieve behind bars where she would be a prisoner of her thoughts, of her fall and that of her family's, where she and her father would have no one else to blame for what had befallen them but themselves, it all seemed to be bygones now. Her eyes darted to the screen and the news being announced. "Good evening. Breaking news tonight from Montenegro, a series of shocking revelations and tragic events have captivated both national and international audiences, making waves across the internet. The controversy began with the arrest of Theodore Montenegro, the former governor of Montenegro, whose recent trial took an unexpected turn.

    "This is your fall Genevieve, whether you like it or not. This is your fall" Morgana muttered as she continued to struggle with her in the locked car, using all her might regardless of the knife that had been driven to her belly to reach out to the car controls to open the car doors."I will never fall, especially not at your hands. I will keep my head up high. I will keep rising. I will never fall!!!" Genevieve continued screaming as they struggled with each other.Successfully unlocking the cars doors, Morgana stepped out trying to run away amidst the stab wound in her belly.Nathaniel came rushing to where she was, pushing Genevieve who tried to assault her the more right into the car.Lucas had arrived and on coming down from his car to behold the stab wound on the already weak Morgana, he took the driver's seat of the car Genevieve had been pushed into.Nathaniel carried Morgana to the opposite lane and tried calling an ambulance while awaiting the arrival of the police he had c

    "Miss Genevieve, I will do you the favor of walking you out of the classroom ma'am. Consider it my last form of respect to you who was once the head of the school's Parent's Teachers Association" Morgana said and motioned Genevieve to the door but she didn't seem to budge, still drowned in thoughts of what she had said to her earlier." Ma'am, I'll plead with you to stay outside now. I wouldn't want my guests to be frightened when the police come for you" Morgana sought to add and it seemed as if her last sentence struck a chord with Genevieve as she began to walk away, while she, followed her, leading her to the door." Say, why don't you follow me to the crime scene Morgana? Wouldn't you want to pay your last respects to your parents as well? I heard you never found their body. That's so much you could do yet brag so loudly and vainly" Genevieve said to her as they reached outside, finally finding her voice in the privacy engulfing the both of them at the passage way.Morgana batted

    Morgana was discussing with some parents when she noticed Genevieve walking towards her. It was a rare sight considering the face that she had been declared wanted by the police. Standing up to meet her, Morgana couldn't help but taunt her. It was her downfall she had come for. The downfall of the driver that had hit her mother."Mrs Genevieve, or is it Miss? I do not know what title to refer you by, the news about the divorce is spattered all over the internet"Genevieve slapt her immediately the words came from her mouth. The women sitting down behind them gasped. Torn on what to do at Genevieve's presence, considering that she had been a member of their club yet now wanted for heinous crimes.Morgana held her cheeks, holding back her anger." Ma'am, violence isn't allowed in the school. Have you forgotten? Ohh, I almost forgot. You're not a parent again and it's understandable that you might not recall some of the school rules"Angered by he utterance, again Genevieve landed a sl

    Montenegro's face twisted with anger as he grabbed his daughter by the arm, dragging her roughly toward the basement. She stumbled, trying to keep up, tears streaming down her face."Please let me go father, I promise to become better from now on" she pleaded. "How many times do I have to tell you to behave in front of the press Genevieve? You're supposed to act properly so you'd be loved by all. So you'd steal attention. So you'd be the talk of the internet for weeks to come!!!" he shouted, his voice echoing through the house."Dad, please, I'm sorry!" she cried, her voice breaking with fear. "I promise I'll do better, please don't lock me up again!"Her mother rushed forward with panic in her eyes. "Honey, please, let her go!" she begged. "She's just a child! You locked her up for days already, please have mercy! You can't keep locking her up each time she all's short of your expectations. She's human"He turned on his wife, furiously "Stay out of this!" he bellowed, raising his h

    The house had a shabby look and still had the white table clothes that had been used to cover the properties.Everywhere was dusty as well.Nathaniel watched a dog come in. It might have come in from the neighbors houses as he left the gate open.He let it be. Atleast it was going to keep him company. He walked over to a carton and began to unbox it. It had some of their family portraits. They were mostly of him and his mother and only few had his father in it with them.It tucked at his heart. He couldn't blame only his mother for running away and abandoning him when he was little. He had witnessed how she was always abused by her husband, perhaps she had left them hoping that it would be the right decision to make.He couldn't take it out on her. She took the decision for her life and he would advice any woman in her shoes to take such decisions too, if they had been in his mother's sort of marriage.A marriage that had the husband always abusing and neglecting his wife. With his

    The flickering light of the single lit candle cast long, wavering shadows on the walls of their small home. Now that he was thinking about it, he couldn't help but wonder why they had lived in such a shabby humble place while the new family of his father's he met lived in a mansion. Their house seemed old, so it meant that his father had always been rich since tie immemorial but left them to live in a humble home and environment.His mom had sat by the wooden table, the one he was currently staring at, and her fingers had nervously traced the grain of the wood. Her heart was heavy, burdened by the silence and the secrets that had settled between her and her husband. He recalled his father, Dante entering the house, his tall frame blocking the light momentarily. He had the air of a man who was always in a hurry, always preoccupied with something just beyond reach. His mom took a deep breath, mustering the courage to confront him. "Dante" she began softly, "this is getting too much,

    The Banner that bore the People's Progressive Party title on top of the party house had been removed. A new banner for a start up company was being used to replace it.In a short while everything about the PPP had been erased, even their party office sold out.Lucas watched as the Carpenters hammered the new name on, while some repainted the walls giving it a whole new vibe."Governor, you don't need to worry. I'm sure nothing would be found on you. You'd still remain the governor of Montenegro after the probe" his assistant tried to console him.His former assistant rather.He had switched places. He had resigned not wanting to work for the government again. But he had come to him to exchange pleasantries after he saw him in front of the Party house.Lucas knew that he was just trying to condole with him.He was sure he wouldn't be found innocent. He carried out alot of bad deeds on of his father in-law's orders.It had already been more than a week his probe started and no feedback

    Genevieve listened on as her father made a call to Dante.He was the last escape route they had and she was sure he would find a way to sneak them out of the house and the country without the police finding out.He was skilled in doing such, that is why her father had taken him in as his cartel business partner."He said we should get ready. Just pack a few things. We'd leave by midnight" her father muttered to her before dropping his phone on the table.She wanted to say something to him but she was interrupted by the gunshots they heard from the gate."They're here" she announced to her father and began running away.Her father stood up and took to his heels, following her as well.The both of them had been declared wanted.
