Inside the study, George sat with Bryce. "The Davis family is into a lot of legal work across this noble country. That is where our riches come from," George said and handed a file to Bryce and he started going through it."We have formed a lot of alliances across this country with different organizations for two reasons, money and power," George said. "The Davis family used to run this country like the queen of England. Many successors had taken over and maintained this power until your father became the heir by marrying into this family. A grave mistake we made. We didn't have an option, Matilda had no male child and hence her daughter's husband needed to take over. He had a different idea and for that reason, he messed things up. The Davis family, once feared by many had to curl into our shells when your father died. The Moore family took over. Your father made a lot of mistakes and that brought about the fall of the Davis family," George narrated while Bryce went through the file
Bryce and George turned around to find out who had just spoken. "Susan?" Bryce mentioned her name surprised to see her there, especially after what happened at the Moore family house."Hello Bryce," Susan greeted, finely dressed in a black straight dress, looking seductive as always. She had her head covered with a scarf wrapped around her neck."You have some nerves coming here?" Bryce growled, scanning the environment for signs of anyone hiding somewhere, looking out for Susan."First my condolence for your loss. I had no idea that happened. Mr Moore only wanted to use her to bring you back to your senses," Susan said and Bryce frowned.He almost advanced towards Susan but George held him preventing him from reaching Susan. Susan took a step back seeing Bryce's angry face."If Mr Moore intended to kill her, do you think, he would have kept her there for that long?" Susan pointed out and Bryce growled like a beast who wants to tier its enemy apart."Well, it's a good thing, the guar
"That girl is plotting with Devon to find a way to get Bryce to sign off his inheritance from his father to Devon. Devon was supposed to take care of Bryce and transfer the inheritance to him once he is of age but Devon has failed to do that. Twice, the property has eluded him. He murdered Matthew for the inheritance but Matthew made it difficult for him to get it and now his plan to get Bryce to transfer the inheritance to him has failed. He using marriage now but that is also not working for him," Matilda explained."So why don't he just kill Bryce and the property would be his? I know that is what I would do. After all, it's still a family inheritance," George pointed out."No, it's not that simple," Matilda said. "If Bryce dies, all the inheritance would go to the orphanage. That is how Matthew has made it knowing his younger brother Devon is a cunning one," she said."Oh, that is why he is keeping Bryce alive?" George said."Yes," Matilda replied and the guard opened the door for
Angela Anderson, despite what happened in the past has managed to put it behind her and completed her college education with good grades. Ten years after the tragic incident which happened on her birthday, she was now ready for the real world. With the help of her father, Mr Anderson, Angela was able to apply for a position in a well-known prestigious trillion-dollar company called Diamond Corporation. She had been called for an interview and she prepared herself for it very excited. Angela appeared to have pushed everything behind her growing up and is now focused on her future.The day for the interview finally came and Angela got ready for it. She put on a simple white blouse over a black skirt and completed her dressing with a simple necklace, small earrings and black full shoes with a 2-inch block heel. She held her hair up in a bun and checked herself out in the mirror after applying some lip gloss on her dry lips. Satisfied with her appearance, she exited her bedroom and went d
Angela lowered her head after the first applicant followed the woman in. She didn’t want to demoralise herself and lose her confidence for this interview looking at the people she was competing with. Recalling what the woman said was making her lose hope already. She was already thinking her appearance will disqualify her.While Angela was lost in her thoughts, the inner door was opened within two minutes and the applicant who had entered exited with confusion registered on her face. Angela raised her head when the applicant returned to the waiting room. She was now staring at the inner door and saw that the other applicants were equally just like her wondering what was going on with the first applicants coming out in two minutes. Susan entered the room again.“Next,” Susan called out and went back.The room was soon filled with murmuring with everyone asking the obvious questions what happened and what was going on?Angela’s heart raced against her chest yet she couldn’t get up to le
The day slowly passed and Angela decided to tell her friend Zora, a college bestie about her new employment.Inside Angela’s room, Angela was lying on her bed chatting with Zora on her phone. She swung her legs happily behind her as she laid on her belly holding the phone to her ears.“Trust me I was very scared with the way applicants were coming in as quickly as they entered the room,” Angela expressed.“Wow. You are brave. I would have left the place the moment I realized I didn’t fit the profile,” Zora said.“Well, the only thing that prevented me from leaving was my outfit and fear,” Angela said and Zora laughed on the other end of the call.“Your outfit and fear? How?” Zora asked.“Well, I was the only one who appeared to be poorly dressed. I couldn’t bring myself to walk in front of the expensively dressed applicants. That would be so embarrassing,” Angela said.“Good you dressed poorly then, if not panic would have taken you out of the competition,” Zora said. “You know what.
An hour earlier, before Angela and Zora entered the VIP 1 Section. The bartender heard his phone vibrate. Seeing the caller, he exited the bar into the backroom to answer the call.“Hello,” the bartender said, once he was alone inside the backroom of the bar.“I just got an alert that the target is in the club. She is heading towards the VIP 1 section with her friend as we speak,” said the caller.“How do I identify her?” the bartender asked.“She will be the only girl in a black dress in the VIP section,” the caller replied.“Noted,” the bartender replied and returned to the bar to continue serving the customers.His eyes hungrily scanned the people in the section but there was no lady in a black dress anywhere. After an hour, two ladies walked in, Angela and Zora. Angela was wearing a black cocktail dress and Zora was in a dark blue close-fitting straight dress whose length was just up to her thigh. The two were approached by a man who walked them to the bar. The man bought a drink
Zora left the club and went to sit in her car. She was hoping she would see Angela once the people began to leave. Meanwhile, inside a room, Angela was asleep wrapped in the arms of a man both naked. Outside, inside the car, Zora could no longer fight nature. She dosed off to sleep.Angela slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes widened when she saw the ceiling she was staring at. She tried to move but her gaze quickly got sight of the man lying down next to her. She raised the blanket, looked inside and quickly brought it down with shock plastered on her face. They were both naked. Angela panicked and fell off the bed. Her fall woke the man up.Still sitting on the floor holding the blanket as a cover. She stared at the man who slowly sat up on the bed not caring about his current state. She recognized the man as the one who had interviewed her at Diamond Corporation. She held on to the blanket and pushed herself back while sitting on the floor away from the bed as she stared at the man who

"Check the house, find Devon and Susan," Bryce ordered, and the guards returned to the apartment. Bryce stood outside, watching for any signs of Devon. After 15 minutes, the guards exited the apartment."Boss, the house is empty," one of the guards reported and Bryce kicked the car's tyre in anger."Let's go," Bryce said and the guards sat in the car and drove out of the compound.Matilda was sitting in one of the cars parked outside across the street. Once she saw Bryce coming out, she ordered the drivers of the two vehicles to move. She smiled as all three cars headed in one direction, home. They soon arrived at the Davis family house and Martin was there waiting for Bryce.Matilda got out of the car once it was parked and so did the remaining seven guards. Bryce walked up to Matilda and she frowned."Where is Josephine?" Matilda questioned stretching her neck to look inside the parked cars."I am sorry," Bryce said and Matilda covered her mouth with her hand."We had Ms Josephine
"Why do you want to see me?" Angela asked and walked away from him. Bryce stood there, not sure what to say. He looked back and scanned the empty room behind him before returning his gaze to Angela, who had returned to her seat and was staring straight ahead of herself. His gaze shifted to her belly, which had a small bulge showing in the blouse she was wearing. "I," Bryce began and cleared his throat before taking a few steps closer to Angela. "I just wanted to let you know you have been vindicated. Eva and a couple of people were behind the murder of my mum and my sister," he said. "Eva committed suicide after her confession. On paper, she admitted to the crime but failed to mention the accomplices she mentioned in her verbal confession," he added standing there like a guard reporting to his master. "I will ensure all those who accused you wrongly will pay," he assured her."Does that include you?" Angela said shifting her gaze to Bryce and Bryce didn't know how to respond."I," B
"That is great news," Matilda said trying to express some joy. "So how do we get her home?" she asked."I am going to see Devon now. I will need the guards to come with me. I know the house very well. While I keep Devon busy, your men will sneak in and get her out," Bryce informed her."That is a good plan. Let's get the guards," Matilda said and quickly walked away.Bryce lifted his gaze staring at the end of the staircase. Angela was in one of the rooms upstairs. She was free now and he felt, despite what they had agreed, it was okay to let her know she was a free person now. With this thought in mind, Bryce headed for the staircase and soon found himself in front of Angela's room door. He took in a deep breath and adjusted his clothes before knocking gently on the door. It was answered by Zora and seeing Bryce's face she rather exited the room."Angela is awake, what are you doing here?" Zora asked."I came to see Angela," Bryce asked shoving his hand into his pocket."She is stil
The ambulance arrived at the police station and Eva's body was moved into it. Bryce, Bernard and Matilda followed the ambulance to the hospital. Eva was rushed into the hospital and Bernard followed in. Bryce and Matilda later strode into the hospital in the company of two bodyguards. "She is dead," the doctor announced after checking Eva.The news hit Bernard like a baseball bat. She is dead. The words echoed in his mind. He had no feelings towards Eva but it did break him hearing the doctor say she was dead."What happened?" Bryce asked when he walked in with Matilda trailing behind her with two bodyguards."She is dead," the words left Bernard's lips as he stood frozen staring at Eva's motionless body on a stretcher a couple of distances away from where he stood but not so far that he couldn't hear what the doctor said to the officer standing next to Eva's body."I am sorry," Bryce said to Bernard. Eva was already in prison when the whole thing happened so the police took care of
"I know someone who can make Eva speak. I will get the person," Bryce said and pulled out his phone. "Hello Bernard," he said as soon as the call was answered.At the central police station, the chief left his office to see Eva in her withholding cell. Even though Eva was in prison, she was well taken care of. She was kept in a separate place and was well provided for."I just got off the phone with the warden of the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility. You will be well taken care of till Susan figures out a way to get you out," he said."Okay," Eva replied."Good," the chief said. "The court proceeding will be very short since you have admitted committing the crime. Once that is done, you will be safely transported to Bedford Hills Correctional Facility and Susan will pick things up from there," he added."When is the court hearing?" Eva asked biting into her sandwich and sipping her tea."Tomorrow," the chief replied. "Hope the food is good," he inquired."Yes, it's okay. I am in pri
Angela slowly opened her eyes. Her head ached terribly. She squeezed her face and tried to figure out where she was but her vision was a bit blurry. She rubbed her eyes to clear her eyes but was greeted by a familiar voice, which made her tense up immediately. She quickly scanned her environment again and her gaze fell on Zora walking towards her. She realized she was on a bed and in an unfamiliar environment. She quickly shifted her gaze back to Zora with a frown, wondering if it was real or if she was dreaming."Angela," Zora called out to her."Zora, is it you?" Angela asked and rubbed her eyes before looking again."It's me. I am here," Zora said and sat on the side of the baby staring at Angela. "How are you feeling?" she quickly asked."Angela, darling, how are you?" came another familiar voice."Mum?" Angela said and soon Mrs Anderson's face was in clear view as she stood next to Zora."Am I dead?" Angela asked and Zora pinched her."Ouch!" Angela cried."Does it feel like you
