THE PLOT

Philip opened the door of a grand sitting room, an aged woman sat on a sofa, with four security guards standing behind her.

Philip fell to his knees and bowed before the aged lady.

“Punish me Madam, Vanessa, I have failed to take my work responsibly” he pleaded.

The aged lady glanced at him and reclined on the sofa “Philip, you have failed to tell me how you failed in taking your responsibility seriously, enlighten me” she said coldly.

Philip's body trembled, his hands shook lightly, and a cold sweat covered his back, and he recounted what had happened at the party earlier.

Madam Vanessa's face became gloomier, she shot Philip an angry gaze “I will give you this chance to clean up the mess, and never you appear in Z district again, hope I made myself clear”

Philip's body stiffened, he nodded immediately, before leaving with two Madam Vanessa underlining escorting him.

The door where drunk Lycan and Mora were sprawling on the bed was opened by Philip, and two men accompanying him, they took Lycan away.

He was tucked in the back seat, while Philip mounted the driver's seat “you know what to do, Philip” the steward of Agora's family reminded him.

Philip nodded immediately, a medicine tablet was fed into Lycan's mouth before he was driven home.

Madam Vanessa's heart ached when he saw her son brought home, she was worried that the opposition will find out, and the next election is fast approaching and their better chance of dominating the province V is staked on Lycan's re-election.

Philip returned after helping Lycan, he met with Madam Vanessa, she brought out a cheque and Philip reached out to receive it.

“Philip, I will make myself clear, I won't be merciful if you go against me, this is a cheque of five million dollars, leave district Z in the morning, and never you return until the election is over” she warned him.

Philip exhaled in relief, and swatted the beads of sweat that formed on his forehead, he scurried away in fright, before the aged woman will change her mind.

“Madam Vanessa, it is done, he won't be able to recall what happened between him and the strange lady, should we do anything to the lady?” Steward Bass asked.

The aged lady shook her head “you should investigate the matter, if the lady is culpable, we have to deal with her decisively” Madam Vanessa replied.

Steward Bass left quickly, to carry out the investigation, Madam Vanessa turned around and went to see Lycan, he saw him tucked properly beneath the sheet, his face relaxed.

“Lycan, I am sorry to do this to you, but I have no choice” she spoke softly, before leaving the room.

Back at the party house, two men ran to a car parked at the party venue, the two of them stood before the car.

“Boss, we have found out Mayor Lycan is taken away…"

“Incompetent, you all, are useless, how dare you fail with just a little task, you can't even do a thing properly” he berated them.

But his underlining swiftly responded, “Boss, we can find a lady, he slept with.”

Their proactive response stalled their doom judgment, “bring me the lady, she will be a willing tool, to end everything” he ordered.

His lackeys quickly jogged away to carry out the duty, arriving at the door, they unlocked it and sneaked in, only to find out the room is empty, and the lady on the bed was nowhere to be found.

The two of them started sweating in agitation, and searched the entire room, even checking the closet, and also the restroom.

The two of them looked at each other, their body trembled in fear, they quickly darted at the door, searched the entire doorway, and also checked the event hall, but couldn't find her.

“Fuck, where is she?” one of them lamented in frustration.

“We should report to Boss, quickly” the two of them hurried towards the exit and came to the car parked in the courtyard, he was enraged when he learned of their failure once again.

The car door was open, and a man stepped out, in rage, he slapped the both of them.

“Why can't you both think on your own, and carry out such a simple task, you have to get me, the driver of Lycan right away, bring me, Philip, and don't return if you don't” he threatened them.

The two of them left immediately, the man in a black coat and black hat, entered the car, and the car drove out of the vicinity.

Philip was busy folding his clothes, and trousers in his room, when the door opened and a middle-aged lady came in, accompanied by a boy of fifteen years, and a girl of the same age.

“Philip, why are you parking, are you travelling with mayor Lycan?” the woman asked, her face creased with worry.

Philip straightened up and smiled “Mother, you don't have to worry, you know, I don't have to come”

“Home more often because it is election time, and I want you all to be safe, and my regular visit here will endanger your safety” he responded.

The middle-aged lady exhaled in relief, “have you told Mora about it?” she asked.

Philip grimaced, his heart twitched, he instinctively clenched his fist, and forced smile “mother, you don't have to worry, I will go see her before I leave” he assured the middle-aged woman.

Philip touched the head of the boy standing by his sister's side “bro, don't fail to take care of them, you are the man now” he said smiling.

“I won't, I promise” the young man vowed, the girl standing by his side pouted her lips in offence “what of me?” she protested.

Philip turned to her and grinned “stay away from bad boys and focus on your books, I promise to buy you many gifts when I return from the capital” Philip promised, and the girl smiled.

“Thank you so much, Philip”

He nodded before he finished parking and left the house.
