Tainted Love A Blow
Benny was late. He had just made his way hurriedly into the company when Julie Bratton; Alex's secretary rushed in right after him. "You need to see this!" She yelled after him. "Don't be dramatic! Deal with whatever it is. I have enough on my table already!" Benny fired and marched towards his office.Julie walked after him and threw a tablet in his face. Benny scanned through the headline on the page displayed on the tablet. His steps receded and he gradually came to a halt. "What the heck!" He muttered and grabbed the tablet out of Julie's hold.He could not believe what he just read. Lense Clinic; one of Evans' contemporaries had succeeded in designing one of the most unique and dynamic machines originally made by Evans. The news filled the internet. Writers and bloggers did not help matters, they framed different headings for the news; 'LENSE CLINIC; THE CODE BREAKER.' 'THE UNPRECEDENTED BREAKTHROUGH.' 'EVANS MECHANICS IS BROKEN AT LAST.'The subject attracted different headin

Lisa drove down to the hospital. She led the kids into the reception and had some words with the receptionist. Alex was surprised when the door opened abruptly and Lisa marched in. "I thought you wouldn't come around... You did not show up in the morning and you ignored my calls," Alex said. "I needed to fix my head... Anyways, I brought Sammy and Jerry as I had promised. They can't wait to see you," Lisa said.Alex made his way out of the bed and stood tall on his feet. "Can you do that already?" Lisa asked in surprise."Yes," Alex said and staggered slightly. He took hold of Lisa's hands while she scampered around to prevent him from falling. Lisa held him and led him towards the door. They were just a few steps away when Alex tightened his grips on her. He suddenly turned her around and pinned her to the wall. Lisa stared wide at him and pieces of her repressed memories from the night she was raped flashed through her head."You should know I am not a feeble old man," Alex chuc

Luke marched into Dec in time. He was led into the conference room by one of the company's representatives.The panel was already set. It included the director, the chief engineer and three others."Where is Marie Tanner?" The Director of Dec; Director Shell asked and looked behind Luke expectantly. "She won't be here... I am not sure it is supposed to affect our deal. Is it?" Luke asked."Not really, in as much as the merchandise is intact," director Shell said with a lopsided grin and showed Luke to a seat. "We saw the news, Lense Clinic launched the machine two days ago. With such development, it seems wise that we go for another one of Evans' data. If more of Evans products get reproduced, it would break the company and we could break even but that isn't our goal. As much as we all want to rattle Evans Mechanics, we appraise technological know how and development here in Dec. We have purchased a piece of the machine for a sample. When our engineers broke it down the design was a

Jane ignored Benny's calls as she made her way through Good Times Eatery. She got herself a favorite spot and settled in. She needed to think, clear her head and have fun at the same time. She was scheduled for a meeting with Sandra's mother later in the day. Sandra had agreed to return home only if Jane spoke with her parents.Jane also has a lot going on in her personal life. She ignored Benny's calls to remain unbiased. She needed to make straight decisions.Her last date with Jeff made it clear that her gut feelings about him were right. Jeff had approached her intentionally and must have ulterior motives. She eased herself into the comfort of one of the seats and made her orders.******Benny walked out of the executive block and made his way into the parking lot. He settled in his car and brought up his phone. He dialed Jane's number repeatedly but she did not pick up. He decided to send a text to her. "Hello Jane, I just wanted you to cheer me up. I am really down. No string

Cole was by the window in his study when Jane drove in. He smiled as he watched her pull into the garage. He continued to stare into space till his smile dissolved into a grim expression. "isn't it better now that you visit every now and then?" Mrs CIinton asked as Jane made her way towards her. "Mother!" Jane exclaimed and pecked her mother on the forehead. "What about Mrs Jack? isn't she around yet?" She asked and settled in the seat beside her mother. "No, not yet, but she is on her way.. You should go greet your father first," her mother responded."Alright mum," Jane said and headed towards the main entrance"Mother is always in one of the bars while father likes to remain in his study," she muttered as she proceeded. "A whole lot will pass you by while you remain stuck in here," Jane pulled a joke on her father."Common isn't that too harsh to say to your old man?" Cole said heartily and pressed in for a hug. "You are never tired of having your daughter around," Jane tease

Lisa was disturbed. She tried to flow with the kids and Alex but she just couldn't. The update she got from Benny broke her down.She felt like good days were wrapping up for Evans. She remembered the arson and got infuriated. If investigations proved the fire outbreak to be arson, they would get handsomely paid by the insurance company but Alex made her stop the investigation. What is he scared of? It wasn't even confirmed that Marie was the culprit. Why is he trying so hard to protect her? She asked herself but shook her head against her line of thought as Jane's advice rang in her head; "Do not think... Just trust your man."With the latest development, she wanted all hands on deck. Since the building was pronounced safe, she wanted the company to resume its full operations but she doubted the financial status of the company would sustain full fledged operations.They had spent a fortune on sustaining Alex when he was tied to machines. She drained her savings and the company's fund

Benny was still mad at Jane but he had no choice. He had to reach out to her as she was in the best position to take care of Alex and his wife."Hello," Jane said into the phone. She was unsure of how to respond as things were still awkward between them."Hello Miss Jane. I am sorry for bothering you. Mr Alex had his surgery earlier today, he is yet to come around. Unfortunately, his wife fell unconscious due to exhaustion..." "Oh my goodness! Poor Lisa," Jane cut in. "Yeah,it's unfortunate but all is under control. She is presently admitted to the hospital and she has regained consciousness but the doctor insisted she needed absolute rest. She is sedated and presently asleep. I am not sure she would be able to return home tonight," Benny concluded."Thanks Ben, thanks for the call. I am presently out of town and l am not sure I can make it down tonight. I will show up as early as possible tomorrow morning," Jane responded. "All right, please do, Benny said."l am really sorry about

It wasn't their first kiss but it felt like it. Jane was lost in the arms of this strange man who kissed her into oblivion. She clamped her eyes shut and her two hands met at his neck behind. The passion was mutual, neither held back. It was like they were meant to be."Jane," Benny pulled back and whispered, "remember? We are by the roadside. We're making a spectacle." Jane opened her eyes and covered them with her hands in embarrassment. Benny grinned and placed her head on his chest. "I will come pick up your car," he said as he removed her car keys. He secured the doors and nudged her to the bay where his car was parked. He carefully helped her in and zoomed off. "Drop me off at Lisa's please," Jane said. "Alright ma'am, at your service." Benny pulled over at Lisa's. Jane withdrew into her shell again and resisted every form of closeness. Benny got the message and whispered. "I will wait, I can wait." Jane nodded and walked into the compound. Benny left his car at Alex's and w

Tainted Love The Silhouette of a Dangerous Man
When Benny woke up, it was morning. Light rays had filtered through the blinds and the room was sparingly illuminated. "Not too bad, I thought I was sealed away in some abyss," he grunted as he felt the comfy comforter and scanned the room. His eyes caught the remains of the intravenous fluid that was infused into him. It was discarded already. "What the heck is this place?" He thought. A silhouette fell into his line of vision. It was the back view of a man. "Who are you!? What do you want from me?!" Benny put up a bold front."I put up with you because you seemed to be a good man, but you crossed the line when you threatened me." Cole responded."Mr Clinton Cole?" Benny asked in astonishment. Cole turned around slowly and Benny shook slightly."You caused this?" Benny asked and touched the bandage wound around his head."It was an accident," Cole said and looked away.Benny heaved a sigh. He realized he just got entangled with a dangerous man. He needed to get out of this mess.
Tainted Love Getting Through
Lisa stirred awake. Her head ached badly and her body felt numb. She groaned faintly and opened her eyes slowly.Her eyes fluttered as she took in the seemingly familiar settings."This isn't my hotel room? Where the hell am I?" She thought and sprang up from her sleep.She hugged herself as the feeling of deja vu took over her. "Oh no! This isn't happening! Not again!" She fidgeted and threw the covers open to check herself.She heaved a sigh of relief and rushed off the bed. That was when she scanned the room. She squinted as realization dawned on her. Pieces of the day's events flashed through her head hazily and she groaned."My bedroom? No way!" Lisa yelled in horror. "I can't face Alex now... I haven't caught the culprit... I have to get out of here," she whimpered and dived for the door.The door swung open just as she placed her hand on the lock. She pulled back and Alex emerged. He was holding a cup of freshly prepared oat. "It's my recipe for a hangover," he said casually.
Tainted Love Sentiments
"Boss, I have Lisa's whereabouts," Benny said as he knocked at the door.Since Lisa's disappearance, it has become Alex's culture to lock himself in the anteroom attached to his office. Else, he was always out, drinking.Benny wasn't sure Alex heard him. He turned around and picked up his phone only to hear the door open up behind him.The forlorn look Alex had on dissipated. He rushed at Benny and pinned him to the wall."Where is she!?" He roared. Benny scoffed and regarded him, he looked unkempt and rough.Alex returned to his senses and withdrew slowly and said, "I am sorry… I was impulsive," please lead the way.****Jane locked her palms together and stared at the drink she had ordered. Things were clear but she was still uncertain. She was uncertain about her own actions.She'd thought it would be easy just like her mother had advised but she was almost close to tears again.She realized she loved Jeff and her heart still beat for him. Her action might be right but she was sure
Tainted Love A Failed Attempt
Jane watched Benny leave and shuddered. Her thoughts were jumbled and she threw her hands up in the air weakly. She was going insane and she knew it.She was startled by her own profession earlier but she was more startled when Benny played along."You're a crazy bitch!" She screamed at herself and laughed hard as she sobbed. "Lisa is missing," she said hysterically and brought up her phone. She dialed Lisa's number but the line was not reachable. She stopped after the first trial and threw her phone on the sofa.She climbed up into her bed weakly and drew up the covers to her shoulders. "Jeff is going down tomorrow," she muttered incoherently and wrapped her arms around her pillow as she continued to weep.****"Cheers to a new bonding," Cole said to Benny and raised his glass for a toast."I don't drink," Benny said disgruntledly."A toast is the least... I mean, you interrupted my sleep," Cole said and sipped his drink."Jane said you wanted to talk. I am a busy man. I won't spare
Tainted Love Denial ll
It was dusk. Jane's eyes flicked open and she sprang up from her sleep. She sat up as a deafening sound had ended her sleep abruptly. "What the hell do you think you are doing!?" She yelled at the guard who had just kicked her door open. The guard did not bat an eyelid. Rather, he suddenly threw someone into Jane's room. Jane yelled and knelt impulsively on her bed."What the heck!" She muttered and rubbed her palms against each other as she took a look.Her temples burrowed as realization dawned on her. She leapt off the bed carelessly but staggered backwards and fell back on the bed.She lifted up her head in dismay as familiar footsteps approached her room. "Father!" She groaned and fell on her knees."Who is responsible for your pregnancy!?" Cole yelled coldly. Jane refused to respond rather she continued to groan."Unveil him!" Cole ordered.The guards removed Benny's cover and Jane fidgeted. She crawled towards him but one of the guards restrained her. The guards held her in p
Tainted Love Denial
Despite the pain in her face and mouth, Lisa devoured her dinner like a hungry lion. She needed strength to carry out her enterprise. The pity party has ended and it was payback time.She checked through her purse and brought out an old phone she had picked up from her chest.She brought out the SIM card that she had taken from her broken phone. She inserted it into the old phone and reboot the phone.The phone rang almost immediately when the light came up, it was Alex.Lisa shuddered and ignored the call. She opened her Gmail account and viewed all the mails again."It's all over, who cares if they went viral? The most important person I wanted to protect is wounded already... who cares whatever?" Lisa muttered as she reset her password.She cleaned the tears burning in her eyes with a single swipe of her palm as she composed a new message to her blackmailer."This can't go viral please. How much do you need this time? Reply with the amount, location, date and time.""You have just
Tainted Love Back To Square-one
Jane and Patrick drove into Clinton's residence. Jane's mother was sitting in one of the bars as usual. Patrick made his way in whilst Jane waited to greet her mother.Patrick bowed and saluted the guards as he made his way into the sitting room. Cole had seen him enter the compound alongside Jane. He made his way into the sitting room and stood tall before Patrick."Why did you arrive together with Jane? Did you invite her down?" Cole asked Patrick."Yes and no. You wanted her home and she wanted to come see me as well," Patrick responded."Do you mean we should let Jane know about Jeff? I think it's not necessary. We should be grateful the betrothal is broken. He has nothing to do with her now," Cole declared."I am afraid we'd have to come clean. Jeff is the culprit behind Jane's friend's rape case. I was tracking the rapist only to find out that it was Jeff. Presently, the case has gone out of hand. Her friend is dying because of it. I am sure Jane wouldn't turn a blind eye on her

Jimmy Johnson was a man who would ensure he sees a mission to an end. Jeff's utmost mission was to keep Jane safe. She seemed too innocent to be broken. If he can't have her, he would always be in the shadows to watch and protect her.Jeff wheeled his car into the highway and it took no time before Jeff realized he was being followed. He was a pro. It would take a pro to tail a pro without being discovered.He took different turns and twists and soon he lost his tail and he was free again.

Tainted Love A Bigger Fraudster
"Lisa? Are you awake? You have some emails, I think you need to check them out. They are coming incessantly from the same email address," Alex said and rolled over to his side to hand over Lisa's phone to her. "What the heck? When did she leave," Alex said as he stared at the empty space beside him. He realized Lisa was out of bed.He dropped the phone and laid back to sleep. The phone kept buzzing as the emails kept coming. The noise became unsettling. Alex picked up the phone and flipped through curiously. He accessed Lisa's mail box and clicked one of the mails."I am sorry about the location of the first payment. I promised to choose a better location this time. I am planning to release a fresh and juicy story online sometime next month. I don't want my baby to get hurt.. you could buy your way out...you know how we roll."What the heck?"
