Benjamin knew one or some of his men had switched alliances. That he was certain about. He knew he had to be careful and walk around on eggshells until the mole was discovered.Five of his men were in the office with him as he stared keenly at them. “Godfrey had Sonia under his captivity, and he's doing that to make me return to Australia and the cult. What did you guys think I should do?” He asked as he watched the men keenly for any strange reaction.“We will act on whatever you decide on.” One of them said, and the others nodded in agreement.“I can't seem to reach a decision, that's why I'm open to know what you will do if you find yourself in my shoes.” He responded, and the office was silent. Each man lost in his thoughts.“You can leave. I will let you know our next move.” He said, and the men walked out of his office.“Wait behind Desmond.” He called behind them and Desmond walked back to him. He couldn't disclose his plans to all of them, not when a mole was among them.Desmo
Benjamin left immediately after Sonia left the room. Mr. Godfrey's men couldn't stop them as they were outumbered. He moved hastily to catch up with Sonia, but she didn't acknowledge his calls as she moved towards the van.He watched as she ‘stole’ one of their vans and drove off with it.He drove the other van as he gave her a chase. He was troubled as he didn't understand her behavior coupled with the fact that she was driving way above the speed limit.Benjamin relaxed when he caught a glimpse of the van parked in the knight home. He had lost chase of her and had driven to the knight's home to confirm if she was there.“She's home safely. Can we leave now and have some rest? It's past two. No sane human should be outside by now.” Desmond said and Benjamin totally ignored him as he got off the van.Desmond facepalmed himself as he turned to the guys. “You can leave. We will leave with the other van.” He said as he got off as well.Benjamin walked into the knight home and Desmond has
Benjamin stood up, and his legs felt heavier than ever. “I will get the doctor.” He said as he headed to the door.Sonia watched him and couldn't keep up with her facade any longer as she broke into a fleet of laughter.“Are you joking with me?” He asked as he rushed back to her.“You need to see how your face looks. I should have taken a picture or two.” She said amidst her laughter and Benjamin heaved a sigh of relief.“I see you're growing more mischievous. I almost had a panic attack.” He said as he sat beside her.“But you haven't, right? Now stop sucking like a child deprived of ice cream and tell me how you settled Godfrey.” She said,“I'm not sure if you did though, seeing that you came running after me.” She added with a sigh.Benjamin was reminded of how Sonia directed the gun at him, and he became moody instantly. “Why did you direct your gun towards me?” He asked and Sonia frowned deeply.“You messed up. I expected you to make it clear to him that we're not as close as he
Morning came sooner than Sonia expected, and she was already in school. It has taken more than thirty minutes of argument before Benjamin was convinced that she was fit enough.The attention she received was the same she had received on her first day in school after her rebirth.“Now we can walk through their questioning gaze together. It's not a nice experience being alone.” Vincent said as he appeared behind her.Sonia pounded on his words, and she couldn't agree less. Having someone beside you during thick and thin is the most underrated blessing. She could imagine what could have become of her if Benjamin hadn't shown up.Lectures weren't in full swing as they had given the students enough time to prepare for their forthcoming test.The lecture room was echoing like a marketplace and Sonia was distracted. “There are a lot of unserious students here. Let's head to the library.” She said to Vincent and they both packed their books.Funny how they used to be part of the unserious st
Sonia was aware that someone was behind her. Someone with a familiar cologne. As she turned and beheld the fake Benjamin, she pretended to be startled and the computerized voice didn't pass her notice. So much for being an ex assassin.“You scared me. You should have let me know you were behind me.” She said as she watched his reaction.“So have you caught the mole? I always have a bad feeling about him stalking me, but my instincts turned out to be true after all.” She asked again, and this time she noticed how his veins popped out.“Great! His identity didn't take long to be revealed. At least when trying to impersonate someone, you should at least try to act like them.” She thought as she flipped her hair backwards stylishly pressing the bottom on her watch.“We have settled him, and pry more information from him.” He responded and Sonia nodded. Last night when she had informed Benjamin about seeing one of his men with scorpion, he had discarded her immediately and also advised he
Mr. Knight paced the living room as he loosened his tie. Benita, who was seated on the couch, watched his movements with a frown on her face.“Can you please get a grip of yourself and tell me what's wrong instead of parading the room?” She asked in a not so loud voice as she still feels pains in her throat.Mr. Knight sat on the seat opposite her as his hands yanked his hair in frustration.“Can you believe Sonia ordered the accountant not to approve any private funds? This girl is getting on my nerves each passing day. She needs to be tamed!” He said enraged as he hit his fist on the center table.“When did she have the final say to the company? Aren't you the acting CEO? What right did she have to order your employees around?” Benita bombarded him with a series of questions and Mr. Knight signed in frustration.“It's that old crook’s fault. He never wanted me to head the company, and he's stylishly transferring all decision-making to that incompetent bastard. Gosh! This is frustrat
Sonia stood in front of the mirror with her hands pocketed. It's been a week since she lost trail of her father and stepmother. She had asked Benjamin to have one of his men monitor their activities.A week of living with Benjamin and her supposed father didn't make any attempt to seek her out or persuade her to return home.“I hope my father won't be anything close to him.” She said with a sigh. She would regret spending years of her life searching for her parents if she ended up having someone like Mr. Knight as a father. It will be too disheartening.“Pom, pom.” A knock sounded on her door.“Yes, come in.” She said as she walked towards the bed.Benjamin walked into the room with a food tray in his hands.“Breakfast in bed?” Sonia asked with a taunting smile on. “I need to be asleep then.” She added as she wrapped the duvet over herself.“If you want it that way.” He said as he dropped the tray on the bedside table. He moved towards her and trickled her continuously.Sonia laughed
Benjamin packed his vehicle in the parking lot as he took his designated elevator to his office. Linda was already on the seat and was typing away on her system. One of the perks why Benjamin still keeps her. Other than her continuous flirting, she was best in her field.“Good morning sir, the meeting is starting in thirty minutes time, and the…”“I'm aware, Linda, and I'm fully prepared. Focus on getting the materials needed to the boardroom.” He said as he entered his office.Benjamin settled behind his desk as he cross-checks and applied a final touch to the documents on his system before forwarding it to Linda.Twenty-five minutes later, he was heading to the boardroom with Linda trailing behind him with the printed documents in her hands.Everyone was gathered in the boardroom and Benjamin positioned the microphone before him.“I welcome all distinguished men and women to Oscar groups. It's an honor to have you here. I'm Benjamin Godfrey, the CEO of Oscar groups. He said and eve
