"I'm sure you did not ask to see me because you miss my face, or did you call me here for a staring competition? I don't have much time to waste here." Christ said coldly, to the figure tied to a chair, covered in blood.He spit the blood out from his mouth and clench his cold feet."I heard what happened, I want to help you catch my boss, I'm sure he is behind the poison, I can help you catch him if you let me go."'Ridiculous, is he striking a deal with me? let him go?' Christ thought."Is this part of your game? I should let you go? Are you striking a deal with me?""I promise I won't run away, I promise my mother I would graduate from school, get a good job and give her a good life. My boss promised me all that, but I haven't been able to enroll into school because of him. Just let me go, and you will never see me again." His tone sounded pathetic.Christ turn to Steve, and he nods his head in approval.Ray squat down to him, and lift his chin up."You will take us to where he stay
Christ stride into his mansion alongside Anna, the chat he had with his father was stuck in his head, he couldn't believe what his father told him, the things he thought happens only in a movie, was happening live.He was becoming more scared that something bad would happen to his brothers or father if he doesn't act fast.It was unlike him to be scared of someone or something, not even a little threat has ever made him anxious, but today the word Ejimae scares the living hell out of him.And the fact that he doesn't know if he's still alive or dead, gives him the creep.He needed to act fast, get his brothers close to him, before Ejimae lure one of them, and turn their back against each other.Anna took a glimpse at him, he still had the look of worry on his face, she had asked him if everything was okay, and he said yes, but his expression says otherwise, there was something he wasn't saying.She placed her hands into his, bringing him out of his stupor.His face lit up when she lean
"I am going to miss you. How about I come pick you up after work? What do you think?" Christ asked and place a kiss on her forehead, making her blush.He wrap his hands around her waist, their breath inches away."You can't come and pick me, you don't have to, okay? I'm going to be busy today. I have a pile of work at the office, and I will see Aunt Maria." Anna responded while playing with his tie.'How I wish I can tell you how much I love you, how much I want to be with you, and spend the rest of my life with you' Christ muttered to himself inwardly."Say something." Anna said, pulling him out of his stupor."I'm with you, since you don't want me to come pick you up, why not come and stay with me for tonight, then tomorrow you can go back home." He said, hoping she would agree to it."You know I would love to, but I can't, I have to go back home, Romeo isn't happy with me. But I promise to be back after two days.""Is that a promise? Cross your heart?""I cross my heart, I promise,
Anna picked up her car keys and head to the company parking. The little disagreement she had with Romeo has made her not to concentrate on her work.She thought stepping out for a while will calm her down, and probably find a better way to talk to him and make him apologize.Anna got into her car and drove out of the parking. Immediately she hit the road, a car barricade her route.She groans in frustration, relaxed and then exhaled before opening her car door to step down from the car.'Who is this person blocking my route' She muttered to her ear only.She rested her butt on her car bonnet, crossed her hands and waited for the figure to come out.The door to the car crept open, and a smiling Ashley step down from the car, walking towards her.'Dad is really spending his money on them, he even got her a new car. What was i expecting? He is their father, he ought to do his father responsibilities'Ashley leisurely strides further towards her, playing with her car keys, swinging her hip
Maria hurried into the room, and pulled her into a warm hug, patting her hair gently, as she sweep."It's okay I'm here now, it's okay, don't be scared you're safe with me okay?" She assured her.Anna nods and tighten her grip on her. Maria is the only mother she can talk to right now, and the only person who can understand her.They stayed quiet while maria just pat her back.Anna slowly pulled out of the hug and smile at her."Are you okay now? Do you mind telling what exactly happened the day we were supposed to have dinner?" She asked, and Anna bobbed her head in response.They both took a seat close to each other, and she starts narrating how everything happened and where Billie took her, to get a cure for Christ.After the long narration, Maria heaved a loud sigh, and rub her palms."I'm sorry you had to go through the stress, I never knew you picked up Billie from the street, you're such an astonishing person.""Thank you, Aunt Maria, I couldn't leave her there, and I just could
Steve's march to Christ office, his secretary heard footsteps, and she stood up to welcome him.Before she could open her mouth to greet, Steve stride pass her and push further into his office.Christ already told him he has scheduled his meeting's till tomorrow, he won't be having visitor's.He strides into the office, and Christ pulled him into a brotherly hug."Bro, I don't know what to think right now, he keeps denying not to have poisoned any of you, I don't know what to believe right now." Steve said, and loosen his neck tie.Christ march here and there in his office thinking of what to believe, if Lorenzo is insisting he didn't do it, then who could it be?Could it be Anita? But where the hell would she get poison from? If Anita isn't the villain, could it be her sister Ashley? She threatened to deal with him, he thought rigorously."What has Anita been doing lately? Who has she been seeing?" Christ asked, turning to his friend.He had assigned his PA, but because he's girlfrien
A figure stood by the window frame smoking cigarettes, sipping from a glass of alcohol.He smash the cigarettes and gulped down the alcohol, then turned to face his men who have been standing for more than twenty minutes.He handed one of them the glass of wine and sat comfortable on the couch beside him.He made a sign and gestured them to lift their head up. If you ever make a mistake of looking into his eyes when talking, you're dead meat.They all slowly lift their head up to meet his gaze."How did it go? Were you able to carry out the operation?" He asked and grit his teeth."Yes master, we got rid of everyone including his men, and Lorenzo we did as you instructed." The leader replied.The figure laugh hysterically and halt, his expression turned dark.'You're a fool, I can't believe you choose to die over a friend than join hands with me, if you had agreed to be my partner, you would still be here. Anyway Rest in Peace Lorenzo' The figure said inwardly."What about My belle? We
Four hours later, Anna turned off her laptop, packed up the pile of documents and walk out of her office.Her secretary quickly stood up when she came into view with her, and helped her with the documents she was holding."Make sure you drop my schedule for tomorrow before i come into the office, I don't want to call you for it." Anna said, her voice lace with tiredness."Okay ma'am. Some documents came in today, from Mr Christ office." She responded and made Anna halt."Why are you jusr telling me now?" Anna asked in exasperation."You ask me not to send in any documents until you're done with the one's at hand." Her secretary reminded her.'Goodness, i almost forgot i ask her not to send in more documents' She thought."I will be in my car, quickly go get me the documents." She bobbed her head and scurried off.Anna stride to her car and waited for her return.Immediately she returned and handed the documents to her, she put on her car engine and drove off.Minutes later, She parked
The next day.Kaka and Billie were engrossed playing with Anna's baby, laughing, while she looked at them filled with Joy. The pass seven months was a living hell for her, but she was grateful she finally put to birth, even though she lost one of her baby.Maria slid the door open, which diverted their attention, thinking it was the men. Immediately her gaze rested on Anna, she beams at her with love."Where are my babies? Grandma is here." Maria announced, making her way inside."Aunt Maria, I have missed you." Anna said, and pulled her into a warm hug."I miss you more baby, I'm sorry you went through all those pains alone, it's over now." Maria said, and disentangle the hug.Anna cast her gaze down with a small smile on her face."I'm sorry, I lost one of the babies." She mumbled, with a bitter heart. She tried not to do anything with my mind, but it wasn't easy with all those pains she went through.Maria looked at how pale she had become, and almost teared up, but she pushed it b
10:30pmAt Ejimae's MansionAnna has been inhaling and exhaling for the past fifteen minutes. She felt has stomach tightened, and her legs lame. This hasn't happened to her before, but today she's experiencing such.She couldn't bear it any longer, and slowly eased her steps to the living room, to check if Ejimae was back. He had informed her about an hour ago that he was heading out.She strides to the living room, to find a few of his guards whispering to each other. As soon as they felt her present, they quickly bowed their heads."Where is your Master? Is he back?" She asked, vigorously."No, is there something you need us to do for you?" One of them asked, and lifted his head up."I have to go to the hospital, please inform the driver to come take me to the hospital." Anna said, holding back the pains she was feeling."No, you can't leave the house, you have to wait for the master's return, go back inside and wait." One of the figures responded.Anna slowly lifted her head up, on
Ray pass Christ his phone when it starts to ring. Christ took a look at the caller, and smiled."Hello Aunt, how are you doing? And how's grandma?" Christ asked."We're fine. I'm flying back to City L to take good care of you, I'm certain you must look pale." Ruth said, in a worried tone."Aunt you can't come over to City L, I have told you I'm fine, and soon we will find my wife." He assured her."But Christ you don't sound okay on the phone, let me come over, I'm not doing much here. Grandma is taking care of the crucial job here, and your manager is great with his work.""I Know this has to do with my wife absent, but believe me, I'm fine. Ashley quest to help us locate her, and I agreed. If Ejimae is her biological father, he definitely must see her if she requested for a meeting."Ruth heaved a loud sigh, and exhaled."Are you sure about that? You know your relationship with her, it might be a set-up.""I don't think it is, she wants to help, she said she wants to apologize to he
Anita stepped down from her car, and marched to her sister with a smirk on her face, playing with the keys she's holding.She got to where she stood and halt in front of her, making herself comfortable on her sister's car bonnet.After getting seated, she didn't say a word, and just stared at Ashley, who was waiting patiently for her to speak up."You ask me to come over, but you're not saying anything." Ashley spoke up."Ashley, why are you suddenly back? You left without a word after the police came in search for mum, and all of a sudden, you want to see her, don't you think it's strange?"Anita wanted to be certain her sister was not planning to betray them. She knows her relationship with Liam has grown stronger before she disappeared.She thought maybe Liam would be the one prompting her to reconcile with her, so they can locate Beatrice and send the cops over to get her.After all, his father died, when he heard of his best friend's death. So, he blames Beatrice for his death."
Anna sat in front of the mirror, touching her face with foundation, when her soon-to-be husband strode inside the room without knocking.Immediately she heard the door barge open, she cussed underneath her breath. She has complained a thousand times for him to stop making his way inside without her consent, since he has forbidden her from locking the door.As he strides towards her, she drop the brush and stood up to look at him, with a frown on her face."I thought you promised to change? Is this how you want to keep on barging into the room?" She sounded pissed."Why do you have a problem with me not knocking? This is my house, my roof you're in, don't tell me what not to do.""I have every right to, you can't keep treating me like a slave if you want this marriage to work.""Let's not have this conversation, I won't let you ruin my day. If you're done with what you're doing, come to the living room and pick out your wedding gown."Anna's mouth gasped open, at the mention of the wed
Billie trailed behind Christ to his office, pleading with him to work with Ashley, so she can help find Annabelle. But Christ doesn't seem to buy the whole idea. Ashley is the last person he wants to work with, not after what they did to Anna."Uncle Christ please you have to do this for me, I know you miss your wife, work with her please." Billie pleaded, immediately they stride into his office.Christ heaved a sigh, "Ashley is not to be trusted, if you trust her, I don't, not after everything they did to my wife, it's not possible." Christ responded, with his voice a bit loud."Wait, what's with the hatred? Don't tell me this has to do with your relationship with her in the past?" Steve asked.That's the only reason he thinks Christ doesn't want to work with her, not because he can't confide in her."You have to do this for your wife and your unborn child, don't you miss them?" Billie asked, thinking that's the only word that can change his mind.Christ spun around when she made men
SEVEN MONTHS LATERBillie stride to Khalifa's office to drop the documents he quested form her. For the past seven months, ever since Anna got missing and Romeo lost his life, she has been the one who took up Romeo's job.She had to stop the catering she loved to do most, and thanks to kaka who has been coming around to help from time to time.She got to his office, and without knocking, she strode inside with a long face, looking unhappy.Khalifa lifted his head up to look at her. The expression on her face made him heaved a sigh, before he thought of striking a conversation with her."Billie, what's with that face of yours? Are you sick?" Khalifa asked, with raised brows."I'm okay, just a bit tired. You know, I have been working for the whole week."Khalifa stood up and pulled her into a hug, her head rested on her chest, while he strokes her hair."I'm sorry. I just got off the phone with kaka, she will be flying in tomorrow, your work will less when she comes." He assured her, an
Christ step out of his car. He fixed his neck tie, and leisurely marched into his wife's company.As he led his way to her office, all eyes were glued to him, astound to see him. His body was said to be missing, but today, out of the blue, he is striding in the mixed of people heading to his wife's office.He got to her office, and her secretary quickly stood up to welcome him."Good morning, sir, she's not inside." She greeted."What do you mean? Did she call in that she won't be coming to the office?" Christ asked.She cast her gaze down, thinking of what to say to him. She overheard Khalifa saying she's nowhere to be found, and she couldn't tell him that."Are you deaf? I'm talking to you, did she call in sick?""Do not shout at her brother, if you miss your wife, what took you so long to come find her?" He heard Steve's voice and spun around.Steve stride towards him with a sad expression on his face. He halt in front of Christ , staring deep in his eyes."Where is my wife, Steve?
Anna was trying to use her power's but to stop them from dragging her, but she couldn't. Since she conceived, she has been abstaining from using her mind to cause harm because of her unborn child. She's scared of losing her baby.She has abstained from using her power's to avoid killing her child. The last time she almost tried to use it, she lost too much blood, and ever since she's taken precautions.They were still endeavoring to drag her upstairs when Ejimae showed up unannounced."Stop it." He thundered, diverting their attention, and Anita quickly let go.Anna spun around, immediately she saw him, her soul almost left her body, yet she stood strong.Beatrice still clutched her tightly, refusing to let go of her. Ejimae stride closer to her, and the next thing she heard was a resounding slap on her face.That was for disobeying his orders."How dare you slap my mother because of this thing?" Anita spat at him, taking a step back."If I'm still your father, she remains your mother
