"How are the plans for the reopening of the Border coming up?" Lucas heard his father in-law ask him as he walked into his office.His secretary hadn't come in to announce his arrival, neither had a call been laid across to him to I form him, he simply walked in, majestically, feeling sway and as if the White House belonged to him." Very well, but it's going to take a long time because it was closed due to some reasons. It isn't just a simple border, it was closed down because of reasons in the last tenure"" I asked Theodore to close it down stupid. I made it happen, I'm only telling you to reopen it now. Not asking for your excuses. You have a week to do that"He said proudly.Lucas noticed him. Inshort he had anticipated it. Le Faye had told him the other night that his father in-law looked like a haughty fellow. She seemed to have described him so well and perfectly in her character analysis that he had found himself telling her about some of the mental, physical and emotional ab
" I want her fired. The Painting Instructor of my daughter's class"Genevieve shouted across the phone call." I'm sorry ma'am, but do you have any specific reasons why she should be sacked? Perhaps we can give her a query so she'd stop the attitude and action she took that hot you offended ma'am. We are a first class institute and compassion is our watch word"" Compassion my foot. Do you not want to be the next school to receive a donation from the foundation again? You want me to pull out my daughter from your school and leave a bad review about it online? Is that what you want? Tell me, is that it?"" I'm sorry ma'am. I'll have her sacked immediately and with no delay like you have requested for"" You better fucking do so" she entered and ended the call.She frantically opened her car door and took her phone with her, entering into the house she and come to.It was a familiar house to her. It was one of the houses she had spent her slush funds on to shit Claude up when he had thre
" I can not believe he said that to you Father. I warned you. I warned you he might become this way if you allowed him taste power, well, he has begun to taste power. I wonder what else he might do to challenge your authority next" Theodore said to his father across the phone." Yes, the men are with me now. Lukman is as well. We're waiting for him to drive past the path we've laid ambush for him. Trust the men to teach him a lesson. I want to so cut the wings on his back that has begun to grow" he hauled." Do a perfect job , Theo. Leave no traces behind" his father muttered to him and then the phone went off." Oh my Lukman, we need to teach him a very damn and painful lesson. If possible, cut his balls and puncture one of his eyes. I want to leave an indelible scar on his body that would make him remember what happened to him when he chose to rebel" he went telling Lukman who was in the car with him.Theodore was the one in the driver's seat while Lukman say at the passenger seat a
"I just told you that I knocked down a pregnant woman. She died. I didn't stop the car to check whether she was breathing either. I learnt from you. Yet you're still concerned whether I dealt with Lucas with the hired thugs? More than anyone I would have done so, but he has security following him now. He's become so smart that he now has dozens of cars following him as his security!!!"" That means that you failed then??!" His father interjected, cutting him short."Father!!!!" Theodore screamed in desperation and tiredness."What were my to do? Dash at him even with all the men behind him firing shots at my car? I hit a woman because of them!! I killed a woman and her unborn child because I was being chased by them. Yet you're still worried whether I was able to teach Lucas a lesson? What if I had gotten shot? What if"" Well you didn't get shot then. You could have allowed yourself get shot so I'd accept your cliche explanation. So you thought running away and knocking down a woman
Faye left the Gamehouse and went back in her car, driving angrily off the premises..Anger boiled inside her and she found herself relaying the recording over and over again.What he had said tucked at her memory and she couldn't get it off her head."Even if she were to return, there's not much she can do" these lines kept repeating over and over again.There was not much she can do. There was not much she can do. He's, there was not much she can do and that is why she would use them to do the much she can't do.Pissed off, she drove into the villa but stayed back in her car to calm down her memories and reapply a new face beat to her face.Finishing, she came out and began to walk into the villa to the waiting Lucas who laid on the bed waiting for her." Oh my , you were right. I almost got killed today but because of the security you suggested for me, I was able to avert it. I couldn't believe that they'd want me dead just for disagreeing with their command. You are a genius Faye"
"Governor, Governor"filled the air as Lucas walked out of his office to his car.He was headed to his father in-law's company to deliver the papers to him. He so wanted it and he was not sure why he had been so keen on the border being reopened.Entering his car and with the Convoy that began to follow him, they moved and began to drive off the road.A few minutes later, they arrived at the Company."I heard the news" Montenegro muttered to him as he saw him walking into his office.His face betraying no emotions and marvelled at how he had played swiftly and made him chose the border.He had been at a crossroad, the firm he had asked him to close had been for his son but of recent that his son had been putting himself in issues that's raise suspicions and might get him arrested one of these days, he chose the later."I guess it's all over the media but I still came over to meet you personally to give you a copy of the file" Lucas began, his voice hiding none of the victory he felt be
"Maya, you're not paying attention" the teacher spoke mildly to the little girl who sat cluelessly at her desk, her attention somewhere else.Faye noticed and her attention was drawn to the conversation between the little girl and her teacher.Standing up from her desk, she meant to walk over to where she was to ask her what was wrong.As she walked, she was taken aback and shaken when the little girl fell from her seat to the floor."Maya!!!" The teacher screamed and she rushed immediately, minding not the heel she wore."Call the ambulance" she said to the teacher and she immediately went out and came a few moments later with two nurses from the school clinic.They carried Maya in to the school clinic and Faye followed them closely behind, worried about the little girl and how gloomy she had been for some weeks in class, even though she had tried to hide her pain countlessly."Will she be alright? What is wrong with her?" Faye inquired from one of the nurses who came out of the roo
There was something with Lucas's eyes, the way he stared at her, the way his eyes looked at her. She couldn't dismiss it. His eyes never carried those emotions whenever they stared at her, but now and to another woman, they did.She couldn't excuse it, she had seen and observed him for a while to know what his eyes meant.She felt a deep seated jealousy towards Faye and suspicions at Lucas. Was there something going on between them or was she merely overreacting, she tried protecting her thoughts from wandering. "Ma'am" the doctor called as he came out from the ward he had gone back into before.Lucas heard his voice and left where he stood besides Faye to return to hear whatever new update the doctor had to say concerning Maya."She should be awake anytime soon"he said and Genevieve felt relieved.Not just because her daughter would be out of the hospital, but because she wouldn't have to hold her chest in her hands worried about the doctors finding out anything about her and repor
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. Not just for one crime nor for their embezzlement and stashed slash funds, the new accusation that came up and had Theodore's voice as the testimony was a big factor too and they couldn't save themselves from it. The evidences we're glaringly clear.She ran to th
