" 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
Lucas watched dotingly on the little girl as her eyes were still shut and she still sleeping. He couldn't help but stare at her."Please Maya, stay awake for daddy" he repeatedly muttered as he stoked her hair occasionally.He began to arrange her room and used the blanket beneath her to cover her, to shield her from the cold of the night."Stay awake for daddy"he repeated."You'd be okay soon my princess. I can't wait to hear your voice and laughs again. Please my princess" he pleaded with her, her eyes still closed.Soon he heard the sounds of the living room door being banged behind.Genevieve must be back. He said.Well, only her would do such. The nanny who came from humble origins knew how expensive the doors in the house were and was always careful to close them gently behind her.Only Genevieve who was born with a silver spoon and did not know what it was to lack anything did. She never understood that virtue. And it never concerned her to.She walked to her room and went to g
"How are the preparations coming up?" Montenegro asked the second man whom he had stepped down from his car to meet."Successful as it has always been. We have more units unlike before" the man added.Montenegro handed over a file to him with which the man held in his hand and shone his white eyes at him in the dark, supposedly questioning what the file in his hand was."The border papers" he said."Ohhhhhhhh" the second man replied and folded it to place in his pocket."I heard about it from the news. Your son in-law tried hard and reopened it. You must be so proud" " Far from it. I want to kill him anytime soon" he said." Why not. If he becomes a weed, then he'd have to get uprooted. All weeds must get uprooted" he said and used his hand to demonstrate how to crush something and the both of them burst out in laughter." You haven't changed Dante. I wonder how many people you've crushed with your hands till now" " I lost count but trust me to uproot any weed that begins to grow wh
