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

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
"Are you kidding me right now? Don't tell me we have to be here because father ask us to come and apologized, what have we done wrong to apologise to an illegitimate daughter?" Ashley spat at Anita."You have to calm down, do you think i would be here if i don't have a plan? I'm never going to apologise for what happened, she deserves it."'I would rather stride barefooted or go hungry for days than apologize to a thing like you' Anita thought."You and mum are indiscreet, how did father find out we framed her years back? Are you sure you didn't spill it to him?" Ashley asked and clench her fist."Shut the fuck up Ashley, don't talk to me that way, I'm older than you, just because i fucked someone you don't like doesn't mean you should hold a grudge against me." Anita retorted.Ashley was raged, she pace furiously waiting for Anna to showed up.Anita watch her closely, as she pace non-stop, she wanted to apologise to her, but her pride couldn't let her do it.After all she never liked
Billie trail alongside Anna carrying her bag as they stride to her office, with a tight lipped smile on her face while she makes some silly jokes.Anna wanted to laugh but she couldn't, she made sure to masked up her laughter.She's at her company and wouldn't want her employees to see her laughing, besides it's unlike her to smile, she has never done that to any of her employees excluding her brothers.On getting to the office, she sighted a guest seated in the waiting area, engrossed in his phone.Anna wasn't expecting anyone, not that she doesn't have schedule, but it was too early for the figure to be in her office."Goodmorning Ms Anna, Ms Billie." Her secretary greeted, and they both responded, which caught the attention of her guest."Annabelle." The guest said with a smile, stood up and walk up to her."Oh my God William, I'm sorry i never knew it was you, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." Anna responded in amusement, she wasn't expecting to see him.Billie hand over her bag
The atmosphere felt really good, everywhere was a bit warm, and it brings nothing but comfort.But the expressionless face of Christ made everything around him chilly, his tone sends shiver down your spine whenever he opens his mouth to talk.The sound of his pace was enough to heed warning to you, for each steps he takes, the sound it brings, makes your blood boil in fear.His PA push further into his office, and opened the door for him to get in, he pulled his tux jacket and place it on his chair."Play the video." The ordered after making himself comfortable on his seat.His PA hurriedly did as instructed, he put on the laptop, played the video and took a step back.Christ painstakingly watch the CCTV camera playing on the screen.

Steve turned on his heel's and lead his way out of Christ office. If Christ decides to inflict pain on his brother, he has no right to stop him.Besides frank and Liam almost got rid if him because of something that wasn't his fault.Their mother died while trying to save him doesn't mean he is to be blamed...He has resented himself for years now, but he's grandmother had to convince him to let go.Immediately steve was out of sight, Christ picked up tux jacket, put it on and stride out of his office."Forward all my meetings to 3pm, i will be back before then." Christ said to his secretary, without waiting for her reply, he stride out of his company with his PA behind."Boss where are we heading?" His PA asked."Take me back to the hotel Jude was murdered."Without waiting to question him, he opened the car for him, he got in and drove off.Fifty minutes into driving, their route was blocked by a Ferrari, which made Christ groan in annoyance.He was not in mood to face her, seeing t
"Do not let it bother you, I'm here for you, i can make you happy, give you anything you want. Haven't I been doing all that you ask? i even got you a new car." The figure said and gently place his hands on her shoulder, messaging her softly.Ashley exhaled, then spun around with a teary eyes, she look down at the figure and huffed."You want me to pretend like nothing happened? No, what have you ever done for me? Is it the stupid car you got me or is it about the sex? If you love me, you would have gotten rid of her when i asked you too." She said and turned her back at him.He sigh and walk to her front, his hands slowly cupped her face in his hands."Why do you always have to choose christ over me? Is it because I'm old? Just summit to my request, I will talk to your father, I'm sure he would allow me have you, what do you think?" His manly voice came out bold.He was raged she keeps choosing Christ over him, but had no choice than to play cool with her, he doesn't want to take a d

Beatrice quickly opened the door for her.She pushed further into the room, panting heavily. Beatrice sat her down, and brought some water for her.After taking a deep breath, she turned to her mother, her face laced with worry."What were you saying on the phone? I didn't get you, what happened to your father?" Beatrice asked."Dad has diabetes, and I don't think he's taking medication for it, the way he sounded seem he wants to avoid living long, you have to do something please, come back home, I don't want to lose dad please." Ashley pleaded, her eyes red.Ashley expected her to panic and do something about, but instead Beatrice stood up from
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

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

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
