Robert walked into the dining room and saw him eating the last bread on his plate. His glass of milk was empty. Kyle smiled at the sight of his father who bent over and kissed his hair and ruffled it afterwards. "Good Morning, Big Man." he greeted and Kyle chuckled, "you ruffled my hair, Dad." He wasn't sad about it, he kind of enjoys whenever his father plays with him which he rarely does. "That's not a response to good morning, you know that?" "Yeah, good morning Dad." He said with an amused grin and stood up, picking his backpack. The breakfast wasn't pleasant and Kyle didn't get to enjoy it but his dad's presence cheered him up. "Thanks Dad, I better get going." He said and dashed out of the room when Robert called him back. "Let me drop you, alright?" Robert offered. "Okay, Dad." He yelled cheerfully and Robert walked briskly to meet him waiting for him by the car. After both settled in, he drove away. He was not only taking Kyle to school but driving the car. Parkin
Maria and Caleb walked in and halted almost immediately, causing Caleb to bump into Maria. The sight they saw caused both of them to gasp as they took in the scene. A man in his own pool of blood, holding a gun and an unconscious Selena lying across the dead man, it didn't look like she was dead. Examining the scene, Caleb could tell that someone else shot the man dead and probably because the man was ought to kill Selena. Without thinking much of it, Maria rushed to Selena checking her pulse. Maria sighed with relief realizing Selena was breathing. She might have gone into shock, sending her unconscious. "What could have happened here?" Maria wondered as she gathered Selena in her arms. Caleb called the town sheriffs immediately and long enough, the crime scene was crowded with police men. Caleb gave the necessary information needed to the police and both left with Selena to the hospital after Maria's apartment was placed under lock and key to ensure no one ventured into the c
"Eli, reschedule every meeting I have this week." Robert retorted, staring at the pen in his hand as if it's something incredulous. "Yes Boss." Eli bowed and went ahead to do what he was told. He typed in his pad and after he was done, he looked up at his boss, "anything else?" Robert greeted him with silence, which only made Eli sigh and go back to typing on the pad again, ignoring the way his boss seemed distracted. Robert had been extremely distracted since morning and all he did was to watch people go on with their lives from the office's huge glass window. Eli had no slightest idea why his boss seemed a lot different today."How is she?" Robert suddenly asked , turning his head to look at Eli who blinked in surprise. "Who?" Eli raised an eyebrow. Robert glared at him and he chuckled nervously, "you mean Miss Parker?" "Are you always this dumb?" Robert snapped at Eli who flinched from the sudden aggression, but quickly recovered and shook his head, giving a slight smile. "No
Robert froze completely. The silence seemed endless. There was no sound but Robert's harsh ragged breathing and the soft ticking of the clock on the wall. The only other noise that could be heard besides the ticking came from Vicky's own heavy breathing. Her body quivering with anxiety as she awaited Robert's response. Robert stood up and stared at Vicky, stunned. It took him about 30 seconds to find his voice, but when he did it was hoarse. "You want me to marry you?" He asked, staring directly at Vicky. Vicky shook her head. "Yeah, exactly what you heard." Pulling himself from doing something stupid to her, he calmed down and said, "okay." Victoria didn't believe her ears, it was too good to be true. Robert accepted to marry her, just like that? Something was not right but she didn't really care. The good thing is she didn't have to sweat her ass before he agreed but still she was not so gullible not to see a trick there. Robert must have something off his sleeve, that's
"Now, where were we?" Robert questioned in a cold voice. He leaned forward in his seat. "Oh yes. I believe you have something to say to me ?" The question left the haggard looking man silent. He said nothing but gulped nervously. He was scared to death. Death has been staring right at him since he was brought to the dungeon. "Well, start talking, will you?" Robert demanded, a smirk etching in his lips. The man shivered and wished the ground would swallow him. He swore an oath of secrecy which means no matter how was going to be tortured or persuaded to talk, he could never say anything. "I don't have anything to say." His response was slow and it made Robert's face darkened. "You better start talking. I don't have the luxury of sitting here and listening to your heart beat." His eyes flashed dangerously, his voice was low and deadly serious. The man's eyes widened at his threatening tone but nonetheless he didn't say anything "I will ask again and I demand you tell me. Why did y
"My dad's ex!" Selena bloated the words out. Her mind flashed back to the day everything started crumpling…. It was a sunny afternoon, Selena had returned from her part-time job at the mail shop down the road and met Andrew skipping the couches. She warned him severally and when he didn't listen to her, she headed to her parents' bedroom and there she heard her parents talking in whispers, her mother was weeping as well. There she learnt that her father's Psychopath ex was on the verge of destroying everything her father had worked for and from there on things went south for them. Life has never been the same. Robert watched different emotions play on her face as she looked like she was in a trance. Well, he wasn't there to sympathize with her. He wasn't surprised when she mentioned her father's ex because he had secretly taken up the murder case of her brother and he is just a few steps away from finding out who the murderer is. The attempt on her life today didn't come as a su
The next few minutes were the hardest time of Victoria Greystone's life. With her sex tape on display to people who adore and worship her, her life was reduced to nothing in a matter of minutes. Her dignity, gone.Vicky gulped and tried hard to hide her embarrassment. She was sweating profusely, she felt like she was dreaming. "This is not happening." She whispered to herself, shaking her head."Who could have tape this?" She wondered in her mind. Could Robert be behind this? Selena was shocked to her bones. While everyone else watched the n*de clip with disgust in their faces. The most shameless thing they had seen in a while. A noble girl from a noble family displaying her private affairs in public, worst still it was threesome. Vicky's parents were so ashamed that they prayed for the ground to open and swallow them.After today, how will they walk among friends? They will be ridiculed and this could cause them business opportunities, thanks to their daughter. Vicky lifted he
Selena was dragged away forcefully and before she could understand what's going on, a heavy punch landed on the new man making him lose his footing. Commotion erupted and soon people fixed their attention on them, wondering what's going on."How dare you." Robert howled and landed the man another punch on his face, causing him to bleed his nose."What the hell, Man?" The new man asked, wiping the blood on his nose with the back of his palm. "Are you trying to kill me?" He asked, holding his face in pain."Did I f*cking care?" Robert asked in a menacing voice and punched him again but this time Selena caught his hand."Stop it, Robert." She pleaded in tears.Robert was furious and pushed her aside, "let go of me!" He shouted as he broke free. "Let me teach this b*stard not to touch what is not his." His voice echoed all around as he stalked towards the newcomer but Selena would not let him cause more scenes. Robert was being childish and it was starting to piss her off. Without thi
