“Who's that?" Harry asks Charles when he noticed Charles being reluctant to answer the call.“No one important. So what are you doing? Nicole's gone so we can leave right?" “Actually I wanted to talk to you about something. Did you do the background check on Chloe like I told you?" Harry asked tapping his table with his index finger.“I haven't had the chance to do so. Why is this background check so important to you? Can't you just get to know her by asking without having to spy on her private life?" Charles asked raising a brow.“You are right, I should just ask her myself." Harry said grabbing his phone. “What are you doing?" “Taking your advice."***LaGuardia Airport (LGA). Gemita dragged her luggage as she came out of the airport. She wore a pink blouse with white pants and a matching pink scarf with white ankle boots.“Ma'm may I know where you're headed?" A taxi driver asked her.“Do you know the location Global world international electronics company?" she asked and he no
Yasmine dialed Charles number again even after him not picking for like eight times.She really needed to see him at least to talk about what happened. She could have ignored it if it's just a random guy but he's a friend to Gemila. She tries one more time and he finally answers.“Hey, I um.. it's me, Yasmine." She said trying to use the right words as she didn't want to sound stupid.“Why do you keep calling me?" Charles asked coldly. He's been crucifying himself all day about what happened, talking to her now would only make things worse as he was trying so hard to forget. “I just wanted us to meet. We need to at least talk about what happened." “There's nothing to talk about. It was a mistake and I would appreciate if we never bring it up again. Also, please don't call me again." Charles said, ending the call immediately. Yasmine sighs and throws her phone on the bed.“He's right, it's just a mistake." She says going into the bathroom to shower.***Gemila checks the time again
“Hey wait!" Harry yelled, taking off to his heels as well after her. If he's not mistaken, that should be Yasmine, Gemila's friend. It's been years since he's seen her but he never forgets a face.Yasmine ran as fast as her tiny legs could take her but Harry is just too fast and catches up to her soon enough. He grabs her blouse which causes them both to fall but Harry swiftly pulls her against himself, making her fall on him while he hit the ground.Yasmine shut her eyes expecting to land on the hard ground but instead she landed on a hard chest. She widened her eyes in shock and got up immediately. She was about running again but saw the pained look on his face.‘Did he get hurt?' she thought and decided to help him. Also she didn't have any more energy to run. She just left the house to meet up with someone not long ago only to come back to find...‘gosh why didn't Gemila tell her..wait, where is Gemila?' “Are you okay?" She asked trying to help him. She crouched down to examine h
NYY STEAKGemita sipped from her glass while checking her wrist watch again. She had an appointment with someone who's expectedly late. A waitress approached her with a dinner menu and she decides to order food while she waits for this mysterious person.“I'll have the liver omelet and pasta please." She said smiling at the waitress.“You should try their chicken soap, it's their five star dish." She heard a manly voice speak. She turns to the side to see a tall African looking man smiling at her.“Are you by chance Joel?" She asked, furrowing her brow.“It depend... Who wants to know?" Joel joked, sitting on the chair opposite her. “I'll have the chicken soup please and ginger bread." He said to the waitress before focusing his attention on Gemita.“You are late." Gemita frowned.“Sorry about that. I had to make sure I wasn't being followed. You said you have an offer for me?"“I need to get Intel on someone, actually make that two." Gemita said remembering that personal assistant of
GLOBAL TECH LTDGemila dropped the last folder and sighed in relief. She had been working all morning without rest because they had a presentation of a new tech launch in two days and as Harry isn't on seat, it's her duty to get everything ready. Thankfully Charles took him home after stitching his wound so he couldn't ask Yasmine any question. Charles had called to cancel their dinner date that night as he had to watch over Harry. She did expect him to cancel even if Harry isn't involved as she felt he is avoiding her for some unknown reason.She checks the time and smiles as it's time for her coffee break. She picks up her phone and dials Yasmine but Yasmine doesn't answer. She picks up her bag, leaving the office and heading to the second floor to get her coffee.She meets Steve at the coffee stand also getting himself one. “Hey, Chloe right?" Steve smiled at her. She gave him a nod, grabbing a plastic cup.“I heard boss isn't feeling well, that has never happened before. Do yo
Yasmine got to the bulas cafe as instructed by Gemila and brought out her phone to call Gemila when she saw the text message from Charles. She widened her eyes as he told her to meet him in ten minutes and she's supposed to be meeting with Gemila now. “F*ck. what do I do now?" She muttered staring at the message.“Yasmine!" Gemila called waving her hands. She's wearing a furry brown coat which looks really cute on her.Yasmine smiled the moment she saw the coat. She actually got that coat for Gemila on her 25th birthday. Just to cheer her up since she was still sad over the loss of her family.“I've got a problem." Gemila said immediately she reached Yasmine.“Me too." Yasmine said and they both frowned.“What's your problem?" Gemila asked.“No you go first." Yasmine smiled.“I think some people are spying on me. That lady I told you about the other day whom embarrassed me at the office, she did a background check on me and now she knows I'm hiding something. She's threatening me alre
Gemita picks up her phone as she received a call from Joel some minutes ago which she missed. She just got out of the bathroom still on her towel.She scrolls through her message box but finds no new message so she decides to call him back.He picks up after the third ring.“Miss Gwen, I have news for you. Where are we meeting?" Joel asked over the phone.“Gemita looked at the time and sighed. If it's info on Harry then she wouldn't mind.“I'll send you an address after this call." She said ending the call. She text him her hotels address alongside her room number before dropping her phone back on the bed.She looks at her reflection in the mirror and exhale. It's been a while since her last s*x. Maybe she could actually have a little fun today.She removes her towel, staring at her naked body. She removes the towel on her head as well, letting her thick silky black hair fall on her bare shoulders. It gave her a godly look as anyone who sees her now would fall at her beauty. She holds
Gemita got down from the bed, picking up her towel to wrap her naked self up. She moved to her closet to pick out the clothes she would be wearing today. Joel watched her silently as she did so. He still couldn't believe what just happened and to think he's actually working for her.“Stop staring at me and get dressed. You have work to do remember? I want you to keep an eye on that Chloe lady, she's hiding something big up her sleeves and we are going to find out." Gemita said while putting on a blue blouse.Joel sighed, getting off the bed. He should have known this was just casual s*x and nothing else. He also put on his clothes, picking up the envelope he brought with him earlier.“This is for you." He said handing it to her.She collects it from him, tearing it open. “What I'm I looking at?" Gemita asked with a slight frown.“Yasmine Lopez, daughter of late sergeant major Jefferson. She use to be friends with a late Gemila Prescott until the drastic fire that killed that entire
“Is she ever going to wake up?" Yasmine asked worriedly.“She's not dead, just asleep." Gemita chuckled as they watched Gemila's sleeping face.She finally stirred, a frown on her face as she held her head.“She's finally waking up." Yasmine sighed.Gemila groaned as she held her head. It felt so heavy and ached really bad.“Make it stop." She groaned holding her head.“Does your head hurt?" Gemita asked placing a hand on her head.“Make it stop." Gemila repeated. “I'll go make her tea or coffee." Gemita said and left the room immediately.Yasmine kept watching her until she finally opened her eyes.Gemila kept her eyes open as her vision was blurry at first. Soon it began clearing up and she saw Yasmine's smiling face.“How do you feel?" Yasmine asked with a smile.“Like my head is about to explode." Gemila groaned and began scrutinizing her environment. She furrowed her brows as she couldn't recognize the room. “Where am I?" She asked with a frown.“Your room of course." Yasmine s
Charles swiftly parked infront of the building, coming out immediately to open the door for his wife Yasmine.Yasmine smiled lovingly at him as she alighted the vehicle, placing a hand on her baby bump.The backdoor opened and a ten year old Lucas ran out of the car straight to the front door of the building.“Lucas slow down or you might fall!" Yasmine called out but Lucas didn't stop until he got to the door, ringing the doorbell severally.“That kid would be the death of me." Yasmine chuckled as they both walked to the front door.The moment the door creaked open, Lucas smiled brightly before jumping into Gemila's arms.“Aunt Mila!" He exclaimed, hugging her tight.“Lucas! Oh good heavens how you've grown." Gemila smiled brightly, hugging him tight. They finally broke the hug and her gaze fell on the couple behind Lucas.“Yasmine." Gemila smiled as she hugged Yasmine gently though because of her big bump.“Oh how I've missed you." Yasmine smiled before breaking the hug.“Nice seein
It's been three weeks now and Charles is finally getting discharged. Yasmine had left the hospital to get the baby stroller Gemila had bought months ago when they went baby shopping. She returned to the hospital to meet Charles at the waiting room. “Hey." She smiled brightly as she walked closer to him, placing a soft kiss on his cheek.“I'm guessing that's for Lucas." Charles smiled as he looked at the stroller.“Is there any other baby you have that I don't know of?" Yasmine asked jokingly and they both laughed.The nurse finally brought Lucas, perfectly healthy now to his parents. Yasmine smiled brightly as she carried her baby for the first time since she woke up from her coma.Her eyes became wet and this time she allowed the tears flow freely.“Hey there little guy. I'm your mummy." She sniffed. She raised her head to look at Charles and he had that same bright smile.“Let's go home." Charles said and Yasmine bounced her head before placing Lucas in the stroller.“I wish Gemila
Gemila smiled the moment she entered their living room. It was very spacious, just the way she liked it and the walls were painted white, making it look like some heavenly home. The white sofas adorned the area along with the beautiful glass center table and the white flower vest housing beautiful rose flowers.She diverted her gaze to the artistic paintings on the wall and a smile plastered on her face. This house is even more beautiful than that of New York that got burnt down.“Where is father?" Gemita suddenly asked, bringing Gemila's attention to the present.“He is napping. Should I get you something to eat or drink?" Madam Frida asked.“Sisy would you like anything?" Gemita asked Gemila.“No, I'm fine. I just can't wait to meet dad." Gemila smiled and Gemita faced Joel.“What about you honey?" She asked him and Joel smiled lovingly at her.“Yes, I'll have any cold beverage." He said and Madam Frida bounced her head before leaving them.“She's a really nice lady." Gemila compli
Gemila zipped her box after packing few clothes she'll be needing. She sighed as she looked around her room. A lot has happened within this past months and she's happy things are finally getting better.“Gemila are you done?" Gemita called from downstairs.“Yes I'm coming down now." Gemila replied and carried her box out of the room. Gemita was waiting with Joel.“Alright let's hit the road." Gemita said with a smile and they all left the house to the hospital. Gemila wanted to say her goodbyes to Yasmine first before leaving.“I'm really going to miss this city." Gemita chuckled.“You can always come visit, its not like you're leaving forever." Gemila said with a smile.They got to the hospital and Gemila and Gemita went in since Joel decided to wait for them in the car.Yasmine was already out of bed when they got to her room.“Where did she go?" Gemila frowned and immediately went to the nurse to ask for Yasmine's whereabouts.“Oh, miss Lopez went to see her baby." The nurse replie
They immediately took him back to their suite, tying him to a chair.Zina brought out her gun, strapping it behind her just incase he tries anything funny while Cheng packed up their stuff. There wasn't any need staying since they had already accomplished what they came here for.“How said that our honeymoon got caught short." Cheng chuckled before standing up with the bag.“We can always go on a vacation next time." Zina smiled facing Linus.“You have been pretty busy this year Linus. What's your last name anyways?" Zina asked but Linus didn't say anything.“What? You're not going to talk? It's over already. All your men are in prison and so will you the moment we leave this place so I suggest you start talking." Zina said with a frown but Linus still kept quiet. He was actually secretly trying to free himself with a little razor. He was slowly cutting the rope from behind.“He's gonna talk one way or the other. Let's get out of here." Cheng said bringing out the handcuffs to cuff L
The moment the elevator doors opened, a scowl plastered on Zina's face. There were so many rooms in the neverending hallway.“How on earth are we supposed to find him in this place?" Zina asked still carrying the scowl on her face.“Do you think I brought us here to fail? All we need to do is plant cameras in every hallway and monitor it to see which room he's staying at." Cheng replied with a smile, stretching his arm for Zina.“How smart of you." Zina smiled taking his hand and led her out of the elevator and into the hallways to search for their room. They finally found it and settled in, awaiting nightfall....Gemila sighed as she walked into the court building again for Harry's second trial. She wanted to skip it as she didn't want to hear more of his crimes but she had no choice than to go as she still needed to pled to the judge to let the company stay open.“Here goes nothing." She muttered before opening the double doors, revealing the court room. As usual it was already
Zina chuckled as she watched the security footage being shown to her by detective Cheng. It was a footage of Linus checking into a private hotel.“I don't get it. Why would he check into a hotel knowing fully well that we are after him?" Zina asked with furrowed brows.“I guess he had no other choice. After all we did capture all his clan members plus he's injured. Going to a hospital for treatment wasn't an option for him." Cheng said as he covered the laptop.“So what now? Do we get a SWART team or something?" Zina asked impatiently.“We would do that but we first need to confirm if this is a trap. We'll go in alone." Cheng said with a smile.“It's a private hotel. Do you think they'll let two police detectives in?" Zina frowned.“Who said anything about going in as police officers?" Cheng winked at her but Zina was still confused. “Can you please enlighten me on the plan?" She asked with a slight frown.“We call the swart team to stand by and then we go in as couples checking in.
Gemila reluctantly got out of the car and entered into the building. Others may call her crazy and maybe they are right. She's indeed crazy. Falling for him was her first mistake and now she's trying to save his company. Love does make people do stupid things.“Good day ma'am." One of the prison guards greeted the moment she entered the building. He had a name tag like everyone else so it wasn't necessary to ask for his name.“Good day Louis, I'm here to see a prisoner." Gemila said politely.“Everyone comes here to see the prisoners." Louis chuckled, removing his hat.“Whom might that be?" “Harry Robinson." Gemila replied immediately. The man furrowed his brows at her but still ordered another guard to take her to Harry. “Follow me ma'am." The second guard with a name tag Donk said to her as he led her to Harry's prison. Gemila felt uneasy as they went further into the passage. Several prison bars could be seen, each housing one or two prisoner. She tried her best to avoid eye c
