Madam Vanessa cringed inwardly, the two of them remained silent for some time before Madam Vanessa requested “can I see her room?”Mama Sarah nodded, and pointed towards a door, she stood on her feet and walked towards the door Mama Sarah pointed a finger at, and Madam Vanessa pushed the door open.And a frame on the wall came into view, three people in the picture, she froze while staring at it, her feet padded the floor, as she made her way towards the frame and took the frame from where it is hung on the wall.Her eyes teared up as she settled on Mora's properly dressed bed, her shaking fingers on the frame.The door creaked, and Mama Sarah emerged standing at the door “Vanessa” she called out to the grief-ridden woman, who looked towards her with bloodshot eyes.Mama Sarah handed over an envelope to her “I wanted to give this to you, years ago, but you have refused to ask of your friend” she said and turned around walking out of the room.Madam Vanessa looked blankly at the door
The campaign trail was moving smoothly, with two lorries, and many people marched in the streets of the peasant territory.Wearing T-shirts that display the face of the current Mayor, Lycan.Many people trooped out of their houses to witness this, fliers were distributed to carry out the message.A lady stood in one of the lorries with a megaphone “vote for Lycan Dan Agora, for a better tomorrow, do you want the education system of your children to flourish? Do you enjoy the light and water supplied to this settlement? Do you enjoy the availability of jobs? Vote for Mayor Lycan”. While these chants were going on, the people who came out, some of them aware of the party proceedings were disgusted, they frowned at the campaign trail, and some retreated inside their houses.The campaign didn't pull the expected crowd, people started returning to their houses, with disappointed looks on their faces.The man in charge of the campaign was a bit disoriented, he couldn't place his fingers on
Mayor Lycan entirely ignored the nosy printing press agents that tried to coerce him into goofing.He managed to get into the hospital, and his subordinate stayed back to chat with the journalists.“Well, my principal has already addressed you all, this is a hospital, and your behavior isn't suitable for the patients inside, can you pick a better location to interview him? Or better still, invite him to your firm”. The printing press agents saw that they were being unreasonable, and retreated accordingly, leaving the premises of the hospital.Mayor Lycan headed towards the secured ward where his campaign manager was admitted, he entered and saw his family gathered inside taking good care of him.The moment he set his eyes on Mayor Lycan, he tried to sit aright, groaning. “you don't have to do that” Mayor Lycan cautioned him, and his campaign manager reclined on the wall, with a solemn look, regretting his actions earlier.“Mayor, I am sorry, if I had listened to you, this won't have
Mayor Lycan with seven-armed security men followed gingerly behind him, they ducked in the darkness when they heard footfalls.The building that Mora was kept in has three floors, the first floor is the one she was held, hostage.The building has a back and main entrance, and a large room that served as a reception desk before it was vacated for the operation.“I heard footfalls,” a voice said from inside, “are you sure man? It might be one of us” another voice responded with disinterest.“Let me check it” Torchlight beamed towards the backdoor entrance, as he walked towards it, Mayor Lycan have already envisaged this.So, they all leapt through windows and got into the dark room that was devoid of their enemies, but the door was tightly locked.The man who suspected the movements beamed his torchlight in several directions before he retreated, “I told you no one is there” his partner taunted.But he had a bad premonition and started patrolling the place, Mayor Lycan realized they ha
The one close to the door tiptoed and opened the door slowly, he peeped and saw no one.“Let's get her out,” he told his partner.The one holding Mora hostage shook his head, “Boss said we should keep her safe, we can't take her out while we are under attack” he protested.The other one stood helplessly and nodded thoughtfully “then, we lock her up, and support our men” “Okay,” his partner said and the both of them ran out of the door, he locked it and the both of them jogged away.The moment he arrived at the open space, the armed men hiding away, came out of their hideouts and opened fire.Thud!Thud!!“Ahh!” the both of them were shot down, Mayor Lycan came out and checked the both of them, he signalled his partner.Mayor Lycan straightened up and headed towards the room Mora was kept hostage.He kicked the door twice, and the door frame slammed on the floor, and he got in, Mora was tied to a chair, she lifted her head and saw Mayor Lycan, her eyes widened in shock.Mayor Lycan qu
Mora's eyes widened in shock, she stared at Mayor Lycan with an incredulous look on her face, and she became pale immediately.Her lips slightly parted, but no word came out, she was in shock, “what did you say?” she reposted in disbelief, her chest tightening.Mayor Lycan saw her reaction and deduced two possibilities “you shouldn't panic, the doctor is yet to confirm it, you have to stay in the hospital for one or two days” he said to calm her down.Mora nodded, she was scared, she clutch the bedsheet, and buried herself in her thoughts.Mayor Lycan left the hospital the moment Mama Sarah came in with their food, he reached home, and Pretty was the first person to welcome him.She embraced him, and clung to him tightly, Madam Vanessa wasn't at home, so the both of them went in together to their room.Pretty was particularly happy “Lycan, your mother spoke with my parents, and the both of them agreed on the date of our engagement,” she said smilingly, but, Mayor Lycan's heart twitche
He broke out in cold sweat, beads of sweat formed on his forehead, and his legs started wobbling.He fell to his knees and kowtowed several times, pleading “I am sorry, boss” he said repeatedly.The man wearing a hat smirked, and drop the gun on the table, he stood on his feet and strode towards the window, the corners of his lips twitched.He glanced at Mr. Stones, whose head is bowed and his body trembling intensely. “I would have killed you, but, the organization will be asking questions, I don't want anyone to know I have a daughter,” he said, and turned to Mr. Stones, who has raised his head to look at him.He nodded without uttering a word “good, then, find out the hospital she is in, and report to me” he instructed, and face the window.Mr. Stones stood on his feet, relief washed over him “I will do so, Boss, do you want to visit her?” he asked, but he took back his words and fled when his Boss's lips curled up.At dusk, Madam Vanessa arrived at the hospital, she wore an eyegl
At the Agora's family mansion, everyone in the family gathered for dinner, when they are done eating, Madam Vanessa looked at Mayor Lycan.“Have you decided the date of the engagement party?” she inquired.Mayor Lycan stiffened after hearing that question, he shook his head, the images of that night have started flooding his mind. He couldn't wait for his steward Philip to return, so he could find out what happened that night.“I have not, mother, we will come up with a date,” he said and glanced at his fiancée dotingly, she blushed.Madam Vanessa frowned, she could sense her son is stalling“I don't think there is a need to delay it, this weekend is the best time, all the preparation will be done” as the matriarch of the family, her words are laws and orders, and no one dares counter her.She stood from the dining table and left, Arnold chuckled and leaned on his chair “why do I feel like someone will be a dad soon” he teased.Mayor Lycan angrily stormed out of the dining table, Arno
