"Ok, I'm all ears. What kind of investment are we talking about?" Linda asked attentively."Casino." "What? Casino?" Linda asked in utter bamboozlement. "Hold up, which among the two of them sort to buy or build a casino or invest in a casino.... Whatever?" Linda leaned forward."Uncle Melo. He wanted to buy a particular piece of land and erect a Casino?" Linda shook her head. "I don't get how this connects us to anything, or how it might be related to his death. I see why the cops slashed it out. But what I want to know is; why would a man like Uncle Melo want a Casino. He could build anything he wished, a hospital…even a church. But why a casino?" Linda asked."Those are questions nobody thought of asking.""Let me guess, your Father was not d'accord with the idea?" "Yes, that is what Mr McGraw said in his statement. My father argued that a Casino was not a bad idea to generate money, but it did not just suit their reputation." Brant explained."But what was more interesting was t

"That might look like any ordinary emerald or gem, but taking a closer look, it isn't just any gemstone. That is a Painite." Randy explained."A pain… what?" Linda asked."A painite," Randy repeated patiently. He took the laptop and played his fingers on the keyboard.He turned the screen so that she was able to view it."A Painite, the rarest and most expensive gemstone to ever be discovered…." She read it out loud."Hold up! I have tons of questions, but first, how the hell would something that rare magically appear in this part of the country? And whoever discovered it, why did the person not mine it? And how does it involve erecting a Casino?" Linda bombarded both men with a queue of questions."Your secretary is not on seat sir?" Randy turned to Brantley, totally ignoring Linda's bucket of questions."Just answer my question!" She yelled.Both men looked at her as though she was losing it."She probably went out to grab a bite, check if she is back and let her know not to interr

Linda took a sip from her glass."Painite is formed by the combination of two elements that would naturally not occur together in nature, Boron and Zirconium. That's what makes it rare. But having it being discovered in this part of the world, is almost an impossibility because we barely have rocks here, especially in Limesville."Linda listened attentively."So I think that chemical depositions from the laboratory years back, could have provoked the strange occurrence of the two unrelatable elements." "I can not believe that all that chemistry in school is really coming in handy right now, I do not even remember which group of the periodic table Boron falls under." Linda complained.Brant chuckled, "do not beat yourself up about it, I am here to remember for you. All these details are just for us to get into uncle Melo's mind. I think he might have figured all this out too." "How was he planning to extract it?" Linda asked."It can be mined using seismic charge launchers or mining l

"Just what the hell is going on?" Mr White roared."You know that you are overreacting right now, right?" With his hands in his pocket, Brant strolled majestically in his father's office, walking towards the booze in the office bar."This is still my business and you do not have any right to take such a drastic decision without my concern! Did any part of you think that you should talk to me first before making such a decision?" "She is a major shareholder of the company, she has every right to be part of the board." Brant explained softly. He poured himself a glass of soft white wine. Today was no day to over drink. Just a little boost of alcohol would do.Despite his father's anger and yelling, Brantley on the other hand, was in no mood to waste calories on such a trivial matter. "That is what I am most worried about, how did she manage to get hold of such a huge percentage of the company's shares?" Mr White was at the verge of exploding."You should not be worried about that righ

"Son of a bitch! So it was you?" Mila cursed.She hurried home immediately after having dinner with Pops and Carlson. There wasn't anything suspicious about either of them but she just could not eat with a short spoon¹ around Carl.She was eager to get home and listen to what Linda, Randolph and Brantley were talking about at length, in Brantley's office.She picked the shock of her life time with all the revelations and the information she got from the three."Why are both of you looking into my family's affairs?" She asked no one in particular, with a light frown on her face.She decided to spend the night in her apartment, afterall, Brantley was the one who reconstructed her house. She just could not trust him to be stupid enough not to plant eyes and ears in the bungalow. She had to take extra precautions.She walked to the kitchen when the toaster beeped. She placed the ready toast on a plate and walked back to her lone couch to continue watching the video.That night, she could

"Just open the door and I'll make your wish come true." Brant teased. He spoke over the phone, while simultaneously knocking on the door.'Shit!' she cussed inwardly, she looked at herself in the mirror. She already had her blonde wig on and had started doing her nose mould, 'how the hell am I gonna take this off? He cannot see me like this!' she cried inwardly.She took a deep breath, contemplating on what to do, while choosing to ignore Brantley's teasing and disturbing persistent knocking."Oh damn!" She exclaimed out loud just when she was about to pull off her wig."What?" Brant paused and asked. Of course, the call was still connected so both of them could get each other.She ignored him. She just remembered that Brantley already knew about Phoebe Rogers, in fact, he met Phoebe Rogers yesterday.She marched to the door and pulled it open, transferring aggression on my poor door."Phoebe?" Brant called out unconsciously."What do you want this morning and how the hell did you kno

"You categorically refused me from visiting these angels, how do you feel about that?" Brant verbally attacked Mila as they drove back to the office."What the hell are you talking about? Aren't we just from the orphanage?" Mila furrowed her brows in confusion."On Sunday, remember? If I did not show up this morning and if Carol did not fall ill, then…" "What is the big deal in it by the way?" Mila just could not comprehend his level of pettiness."The big deal is that I want to know more about you." "I told you, the more you know about me, that is the closer you get to your grave." She said coldly."I am capable of taking good care of myself, and I can protect you too." "You cannot protect me!" "Ev…" he started."Just, cut it already, ok? It's pointless going back and forth with you about the same damn topic." She cut in."Jeez! you are always gloomy!" He murmured, but she caught it.She lightly punched his tummy. "I'm not gloomy!""Ouch!" He held his stomach with one hand while

"I want you to sell your shares!"She was about to stand up when he voiced those words.She slowly adjusted herself back in her seat, took off her sunglasses and stared at the man sitting opposite her.She did not lose her smile, "I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you clearly?" She asked politely.Her tummy was churning with anger, 'how dare he say something like that?'"I want you to give up your shares, you would be compensated accordingly." He repeated.She chuckled, "Please tell me why I should do something like that, convince me!" She maintained her cool."It is my company, everyone there is family. I get to decide who joins the family and who doesn't. I do not trust you, therefore, you cannot be part of the family!" He stated bluntly.Her hands were resting on the table, she took them off and placed them on her lab. She clenched her fist so tightly that her palms were white.Good thing she did not have long nails or artificial nails, or else she could have dug those nails in her

THE END."What order, Mr Walborn?" The attorney went ahead to ask Mr Walborn."That Mr Rivers should be eliminated." Silence.Emille clenched his fist beside him.Even though Mr White only walked in, he was sitting on needles. He had his secrets, he knew what was going on. "We have the videos." One of the Court's IT workers announced.It was there, everything….from the squabble in the office to the phone call in the garage.Everyone gasped and turned to look at Mr White.Mrs White passed out.Brantley rushed to his mother.The twins held each other's hand tightly.Brenda leaned back in her chair.Mila's mind was teleported Somewhere else. Carl was bamboozled, he stayed motionless in his chair.Mama Rivers and Papa Rivers….well, there were no words to describe everything.……..All along, Mr White had been pulling the shots. He'd hired Mason based on Mason's greed.Mason had been working for him the entire time….he was the real Grandmaster.He found out about Mr Walborn being alive o

COURT TALES OF TRUTHFourteen minutes.It was almost time……"It is already time, your Honour, we should proceed." Grandmaster stood up and said.That was the advantage of representing yourself."We still have some more seconds, your Honour." The prosecution quickly added.The judge nodded. Grandmaster stood up to say something again, but his words were interrupted by the loud opening of the door.Everyone's attention was directed towards the door.One after another, all those who were against Grandmaster released breaths they never knew they were holding…surprisingly, even the judge.Disappointment was evident on Grandmaster's face.Dr Edgar accompanied Mr Walborn in the courtroom. Mila and Freya waited outside.When Brantley did not see Mila in the two-man procession, he immediately stood up on his feet and went outside."Which of these men is the supposed witness?" The judge asked even before Dr Edgar and Mr Walborn could reach the front of the courtroom.Dr Edgar indicated that i

THE CLOCK IS TICKING"Can the prosecution explain to the court why your said witness is not yet available?" The judge asked. She was getting impatient, it was evident."Technical transportation issues." The state lawyer responded.He leaned towards Emille and asked, "what is keeping your witness?" He asked in a whisper."What is holding him back is the only reason why they would not want him to testify, but don't bother, he's being escorted by one of the best bodyguards." Emille replied."Excuse me." Emille stepped out of the court to call for Mila.Brantley had arrived in the court too. He was worried, not that Mila could not take care of herself, but because he loved her, so it was natural for him to worry."What the hell is going on?" Emille asked in a concerned tone as soon as Mila answered."We got company." Mila replied."Do you need more refreshments?" Emille asked."I got it, I guess water would be enough to entertain them." Mila said over the phone."Good then, tell me where

THE AMBUSH.Randy rode in another car, tailing closely behind Mila.When she got to her condominium, she did not step out, rather she called Dr Edgar to bring Mr Walborn outside.Dr Edgar had personally selected a suit for Mr Walborn. The different clothes made him look 10 years younger."You look handsome, Mr Walborn." Mila smiled as she held the door open for him."Thank you, child. At least this doctor here has fine taste in quality clothes, only if he could put those skills to what I put in my stomach." Mr Walborn glared at Dr Edgar. Mila could not help but laugh."You look handsome too." She mouthed to Dr Edgar when Mr Walborn got into the car. Dr Edgar was dressed in a simple shirt and trousers, he had a clean shave. That alone made him look really different."Thank you. You look stunning yourself." Dr Edgar complimented back. Compliments were being poured at randa."Thank you for coming with us." Mila smiled at Dr Edgar."I have to do my job as a babysitter." Dr Edgar gave a sh

NAKED SLEEPOVERThe newly bonded family decided to spend the night together.Carl and Phelix were pals, they warmed everyone's heart, especially Mila because she never known that he was good with kids. She had no idea whether or not he loved kids, she did not even know what he loved.Pops had ruled their lives in such a way that all their likes were buried within them and only what he approved, that was what they did…to his face though.She allowed the cold water to run down her body. Everyone together, the smiles, the crying, the hugs, the laughter…this is what she'd ever wanted, not tension, the type of atmosphere she grew up being used to under Pop's roof.It was less than twenty four hours, and everything changed. For once in her life, she did not have to worry about tomorrow. Only if everyone she loved could be here…Only if Dom had lived to experience this different breeze…even just for a day."Fuck this life!" She cursed, turned off the shower, threw a bathrobe on her wet body.

BRENDA IS SCARYBrantley laid down on his bed, staring at the ceiling while he pondered about what Brenda told him earlier.Brenda was nosy, everyone knew that, but she wasn't a liar. She could be blunt sometimes, but the kid sure knew when to keep her mouth shut.She was smart too, probably more than all of them…well, except him, he had a photographic memory after all.He knew that she would not tell him all those things except something more was going on in that house. He had plans on saying hi to his mom before leaving, but he left without saying a word. He felt guilty, but he could not do otherwise.With the revelation, he wasn't sure to face anyone, especially his father.He needed time to think. He could not just jump into conclusions, he had to get more details about everything before concluding."She said that she was pushed, by who? Who would want to hurt you?" He pondered out loud.'Then why did she keep quiet only to say it now?' He thought."Who are you going to see in th

WHAT BRENDA KNOWS'Why do good men die and the selfish monsters live?' Brantley pondered as he walked down the corridors of his father's house empty mindedly."Do you want to bulldoze me before you notice that something is in front of you?" Brenda was starting in front of him, with her short self and crutches.He halted abruptly, for real, he had not taken note of the girl."Oh, I see you've upgraded to crutches. They're cute." Brantley rubbed her head like a kitten.She supported her weight on one crutch, freed her other hand and used it to slap his hand off."Why are you always fighting with father?" The youngest White asked.Bran was stunned, he did not expect that question from here. He was speechless for a few seconds, trying to think of an appropriate response to that."We were talking, maybe a little of a disagreement, but we were not fighting." Brantley looked down and said."You were loud!" She raised one side of her lip, confident about her statement and presumption."Wha

SWEET REUNION"Nice meeting you." Carl forced a smile.The expression on his grandparents' faces changed immediately.He sunkened his shoulders, 'Just as I had expected, outcast!' The words reverberated in his mind.He wished he could turn back the hand of time to just a 5 minutes ago, he'd make sure to get away from here and prevent none of this from happening."Mason had a son?" Papa Rivers looked at his wife. "Isn't he handsome? He looks like an angel." Mama Rivers praised.Carl raised his brows. 'Did they mean the opposite of what they said, or…he had judged the situation wrongly.He looked at Mila, she smiled at him."How old are you, boy?" Mama Rivers asked."I'm 28 years old, ma'am." Carl held his hands together in front of him as though he was for a religious procession.Mila raised her brows and hung her mouth open at his lie."Nonsense, don't call me ma'am. I am your grandmother. Come here!" Mama Rivers rebuked him and hugged him."Just for the record, he is still 27 years o

OUTCAST"Why do you want to see Fabiola?" Brantley decided to ask at one point. He just refilled their tea cups.Mama Rivers who was about raising her cup to take a sip, paused mid way. She stared at her husband who also had the same look on his face."Oh, we knew her when she was a kid. Since we were in town, we decided to drop by." Papa Rivers replied."Oh, ok. I see." Brantley nodded. There was an awkward silence among them."We'll see your father and enjoy the view a little before going back." Papa Rivers added."I will be glad to show you around town. I bet they'll be so much to entertain both of you." Brantley smiled."Yeah." And there goes the silence again. ________"I got a text from Brant, he said that the package was at my doorstep." Mila looked at her brothers. They were just touching down back in Limesville."Just as we thought." The ever nonchalantly Emille said.Carl was silent."I bet they got my address because of the media." Obviously."So…we are going to your hou
