Venita stared around as she walked through the silent yard, it looked like an old deserted place but Venita knew that they must have left it like that in order to use it for this sort of meetings.The click of her boots was loud and bounced off the wall as she walked, she kept her eyes and ears wide open, her heart would skip a bit at nearly every small foreign sound and she jumped every time that happened.“It's just like you to be here on time,” she heard and immediately stood at alert.At her right side, she saw a lot of women standing behind a man who sat on an expensive chair. The women were all clad in leather jackets and pants with at least a gun in a person's hand while the boss didn't bother himself with that. “I love your punctuality, have I ever told you that?” The man continued.Venita knew that was the boss that she wanted to meet but she couldn't see his face because he was using a face mask, the kind of fancy mask you use at a mask party.It covered most of his face an
“Listen here Matthew, I don't want to have anything to do with you, so just get out of my way, I don't have the time to deal with you right now I have some pretty important things to get back to,” Claire said as she stared down at Matthew who stood there in front of him with his hand tucked in his pocket.“I just want to talk,” he told her and she rolled her eyes in annoyance.“Didn't my behavior make it clear enough that I don't want to have anything to do including just talking,” Claire replied.“Is that why you are avoiding me?”“I thought I made it so obvious to you.”“I just want to apologize to you for being a jerk,”“And I am telling you that I don't want to listen to it, is it that hard to understand? I am dumb and an idiot who could be used and discarded anytime, I stopped useful and you have a good relationship with Sapphire now, everyone is happy, so kindly fuck off,” she told him and tried to walk away but she stopped him by grabbing her hand.“You aren't dumb or an idiot,
“What you are trying to tell me is that you are in front of their headquarters?” Sapphire asked in disbelief and Claire hummed in agreement.“I can’t believe that your damn uncle kept some of his slush fund in the form of artworks, the man has absolutely no interest in art so that is the least of the places anyone would check.” Claire said. “I have to tell my father to sort those things out.”“Is Matthew still with you?” Sapphire asked.“Yes, he is here with me. I am sure that they didn’t see us or they wouldn’t have come to their so-called headquarters that look like a rundown bungalow in the middle of the city. I am sure you would miss it if you came to sniff it out, we almost didn’t believe our eyes but Heather and Jessica entered the place.”“You just stay there with Matthew, me, Brielle and some men would be there.”“Are you sure about this? What about if they overpower you?” Claire asked in worry.“That’s why we have a lot of men with us. Brielle told me that Venita told her tha
“We need to evaluate them all. Now that we know all our enemies, it is advisable that we evaluate that,” Zayn said and everyone nodded.“We have Heather, Jessica, Felix, Sebastian, Sheila and Arielle. Including everyone in their godforsaken gang,” Alyssa said and once again, everyone nodded.“What should we do about them?” Alicia asked and Luci arched a brow at her in disbelief.“Are you seriously asking that? We should execute all of them of course, some should be sent to prison and some of them like Arielle and Heather should be sent to the underworld.” She said with gritted teeth. “I agree with that, Arielle doesn’t deserve to breathe in the same oxygen as everyone else. How the hell can someone be so cruel? I am still finding it so freaking difficult to wrap my head around the fact that she is the mastermind behind everything, to think that we even applauded Heather’s cunningness when she is the real one behind her.” Claire added.“There's a high possibility that Arielle knows th
“I fucking told you Melissa, you shouldn't mess with Sapphire. See what you have got yourself into, you don’t have only Sapphire and her husband after you but there is Gladys, Tiara and Trisha,” A man with vivid brown eyes yelled at Melissa in exasperation, his curls bounced with every movement he made but she only rolled her eyes in irritation, she wondered what the hell was up with him.She really wished that the glass between them would disappear so that she could give him a knock on the head, she stared down at herself and huffed. She had been forced into a prison uniform and she really did look out of place.“Someone like Trisha is not capable of doing anything to me. She dares not look up to me in the eyes when in my presence.”“Trisha is weak and Samantha is one of your lackeys but at the moment you are hanging on a guillotine line as it is already. Tiara won’t let you off, I have been able to deduce that she hates you. Gladys' in-laws might not want to have anything to do with
“One wrong move and I am going to blow your fucking skull, I won't advise you to dare me,”On cue, one of the officers went to remove the face mask from Arielle’s head, as well as the face mask. All of them stared at her intently but Felix looked like his life depended on it, perhaps, he was finding it hard that for the past three months, he had been sucking up to the daughter of his late brother, who happened to be his number one enemy.The woman shook her head as soon as the face mask was removed from her face.“Aish! You should have at least been gentle, do you want to ruin my hair, I just went to the salon to do it.” The woman said without voice alteration and Luci furrowed her brows in confusion when the voice didn’t even sound like Arielle’s, not in the least.The officers moved away and both Luci and the detective couldn’t help the surprised scoff.“What the hell?” The detective said, staring at the woman who was definitely not Arielle. One of her lackeys? Maybe, but definitely
Chapter 174 “You can’t still be angry with me for that, Sapphire. Let it go,” Luci said to Sapphire who had been ignoring her. She was very angry at her the night before when they arrived at her home and she yelled at her before she walked away from their view angrily.“You went to Arielle and Felix, Luci! How can I possibly be calm? They are the worst combination, if it had been really Luci at that place last night. I guarantee that you would not make it out of the place in a piece,” Sapphire reminded her.“ I know and I am sorry, that’s why I had Zayn follow me, she would be there if anything went wrong.” Luci said and pointed to Zayn who just looked away, she scoffed at the wimp, he just betrayed her.“But you could have lost your life before he did that.”“I am sorry, Sapphire.”“Sorry doesn’t cut it out in this kind of situation.”“I know that you are pissed but you can’t do this forever, I agree that I am wrong, Alexander can you please tell her to stop getting angry at me? I p
Sapphire stared at Jessica who sat opposite her with a calm expression while the woman was the definition of anxious and nervous, you could feel the nerves roll out of her in bundles, she fiddled with the sleeve of her jumper and kept adjusting her hair, she used a face cap and nose mask to hide her identity and she kept looking around the small café for any type of threats.“What did you call me here for?” Sapphire asked, she leaned forward and stared at Jessica who swallowed before she sat straight. “You mention something about Arielle using Amy to threaten you, care to elaborate?”“This is what is up. Arielle wants to kill you, after doing whatever business she has this evening, her next target is you.”“You didn’t suddenly feel empathy for me right? How does killing me have something to do with Amy’s kidnap?”“After she kills you, she knows that Alexander won’t let her go and she don’t have enough guts and force to attack Alexander, so she would force me to dress like her, she wou

Last time, it was her family signing a fake marriage contract, but this time, she was having a real engagement party.Alexander was talking with a the same man he was talking to that day, and was standing at that same spot, only this time, the spot where Melissa stood was acquired by Luci and Zayn, they were chatting heartily, a man tried to pass and almost bumped into Luci but Zayn quickly wrapped his hand around her waist and pulled her to the side, they both talked to the man and resumed their conversation, but Zayn hands never left Luci’s waist which made Sapphire smile.Not too far from them were Tiara and Fiona who seemed to be having a serious conversation. Fiona was the one speaking while Tiara just stared at her.“You finally decided to show your face out here?” Mr. Aldine said and Sapphire laughed, it was a small and quiet laugh.“I am sorry for not visiting you since all this while,” Sapphire said.“I understand. You have been busy, besides I have the kids by my side most o
“The only thing I love the most about everything here is your ring, I mean, would you check out that beautiful thing?” Tiara who was dressed to perfection gushed, she bent beside Sapphire and held her hand up to her face, and she stared at the ring with a gooey look in her eyes. She had asked Sapphire to remove it to let her examine it but Sapphire had refused to do that.“You have been saying that you loved the ring in a thousand different phrases ever since you saw that ring on her finger,” Gladys said beside her, Sapphire didn’t know that someone could look so hot in a super short dress at an engagement party but she managed to rock it hard. Gladys rrolled her eyes at her friend who only pouted at her before turning back to the ring.“Just how much was it worth? Did you ask him?” Luci asked as she perched herself on the beautiful chair that Sapphire was sitting, she also stared at it in admiration. Luci had gone for the dark look with her floor length back dress that was slit all t
Headache shot up her head when she hit her head on the floor and she willed it to split apart in order to stop, she could only groan in her throat and curse Sapphire and her friends over and over in her head.She turned to her head and felt every single part of her body freeze, she didn’t even dare to blink, it would make too much noise and her body was particularly capable of that feat.Just a foot away from her were giant scorpions, they were huddled together at a spot and were unmoving, her eyes trailed upward and a gasp would have fell from her lips if she didn’t have that gag because she saw a snake crawled on the ground into a spot and came out of another opened one, that was when she saw the snake for what it was; a viper.Cold sweat covered her and her body started shaking in fear, her inability to run her way out of this dangerous ditch also made her terrified, it would be the end of her if she was attacked.She tried to move back only for back to slam heavily on what seemed
“You shouldn’t do this to me, if you do this to me you would be a murderer too,” Arielle said, desperately and Sapphire shrugged.“Doesn’t matter. We Conrad are known for being villainous already, if I emerged as a murderer, people won’t be shocked, they would be even glad that I got rid of you for them.” Sapphire said and nodded. “Here is what we would do. Try to convince me to not kill you, I am listening,” Sapphire gestured to her with her hands.“Aren’t you afraid of ending up in hell?” she blurted out and Sapphire stared at her with a dumbfounded expression, everyone paused what they were doing but Luci was the first person that burst into laughter, she doubled as she tried to control her laughter and catch her breath but she couldn’t stop herself.“What?” Sapphire asked in disbelief and she started chuckling before she started to laugh . Zayn was snickering from where he sat and staring at Arielle with the expression that screams ‘No, you didn’t just say that bitch.”Some of the
Arielle sat in the cell that was reserved for only ‘hardened criminals’ like her, that’s what everyone referred to her as, she even saw some of the prisoners flinched when she brushed her hand passed them.Even though they call her suspect in face of any camera they see, they treat worse than a murderer that has went to court and branded as on, they should at least picked her to court first.She thought about the day’s event and laughed out loud, maniacally and hysterically, the wardens at her door glanced at her once before they turned to resume their duties of staring, at least that was what she assumed, she only saw their eyes through the small space at the top of the iron door and she didn’t saw them again when they moved.Melissa had been sentenced to life imprisonment. Very good! That was what she had planned from the beginning of her plan, the one she drew when she was sixteen, that was the only plan that was to her aid. Even if Melissa hadn’t been in prison because she foolish
“With all of the solid evidence against Ms. Melissa Conrad, I hereby sentence her to life imprisonment, the money that she has now would be used to pay for the companies she damaged and the rest would be confiscated.” The judge said and Melissa just stared blankly at every single person in the court, her eyes met Sapphire’s and they both stared at each other solemnly for a bit.It was Melissa’s hearing and Sapphire went with almost all her friend, Luci, Tiara and Gladys, Claire was absent because she had something she needed to do at the gallery and Trisha had once again been asked to do some humiliating task by her mother-in-law, Sapphire hopes that she would be able to break free from their abuse soon and would stop at nothing to help, Tiara also assured that if they interfere in it, her in-laws would not do as much as grunt but Trisha would only smile and say that it was not yet time to make such a move, she wanted to wait till climax before executing which made Sapphire suspect th
Luci rushed to Sapphire who was sprawled on the ground with a blood stain on her stomach. She felt her breathing and saw that she was still alive.“Save Sapphire first, let's get her to the hospital! Zayn, get a car instead of standing there like an immobilized ant, Claire, get the first aid box,” she screamed out orders and Claire quickly nodded, running to the door at the speed of light, it was like her feet weren't touching the floor at all, Zayn also went out of her sight and some men advanced towards her to help carry Sapphire.She saw that Alexander hadn't moved from the same spot he was since the Arielle fiasco started, it made her gritted her teeth in irritation and despite the fact that she always tread cautiously and respectfully around the man, she didn't know when she snapped at the man angrily.“You wife is here in the pool of her own blood, dying and barely holding on to life because of the stupid thing she did well th this crazy woman,” she said, glared at Arielle who h
Sapphire wrapped her night robe around her tighter, it was pretty chilling out here but she felt that she needed to go on a walk to clear her head now, Melissa has a hearing in the court the next day and in front of her very eyes, she might be convicted for a crime Sapphire was sure that she had absolutely no idea of.It was pretty clear to everyone in the inner circle that it was Arielle that set her up, Brielle had confirmed that Arielle was indeed sighted at the premises of the prison at that night, her face was shown as she was using her signature face cap and mask, she had her hair well-kept in her cap and didn’t made any silly mistake like letting a strand of her hair remain in the murder scene, she had gloves and boots on and that’s why no DNA of her was found on the scene.Though there was no assurance that she would be able to get Melissa out of the prison if she interfered, she would at least get a reduced sentence of a punishment lighter than the initial one that she would
