‘’Thomas..’’ I started to rise to my feet. He held me down.‘’Sit,’’ he said.‘’You shouldn't bring the whores to the family table, Thomas,’’ she continued.He faced her. ‘’I’ve given you your one minute, Clara. Leave now.’’ His voice was menacing yet low. I had never heard him sound that way and it was both a comfort to me and a terror. She sat for a few more seconds, scoffed, then pushed the chair away and walked off to greet some other guests.I found later that she was the heiress to a multi millionaire British company, while she also owned a large beauty consultancy and lines of beauty products. She and Thomas were married for five years and they had two adorable girls. They had separated about six years ago on issues that were not clear. I bowed my head, feeling out of place suddenly. She was too hot, powerful and successful to be my competition.She sat beside a younger looking gentleman who was her date. Jenner was just to her right and I could see them looking at me

Mikel did not mince words. He stood in front of me, his eyes glowing with anger.‘’You put the whole of our operation at risk with your foolish idea. Now, all our alliance in Russia is severed.’’ he paced around. ‘’We have goods that need clearance. Do you ever even think?’’I swallowed hard and bit my lips. I would take all the insults from him because it was my fault.‘’Do you think the mafia is a child’s plaything?’’ he looked at me with express disgust on his face. ‘’All you do is cause problems. I’ve told the Don if you need a toy or something to keep yourself busy, he should get you one. You can’t be toying with things that are above and beyond you.’’I crossed my arms and leaned on the wall, looking at him defiantly. ‘’I am not playing around. Unfortunate things happened and i am ready to take responsibility.’’He scoffed. ‘’What do you know about responsibility?’’ he stepped forward, close enough for me to clearly see the creases on his face. I didn’t flinch. ‘’It

I stared at the turbulent water below as Aaron fired more shots at the sinking vehicle. We waited for ten minutes before we turned around and headed to the car. There was an ugly dent at the back of the car where we had been hit. I ran my fingers over it, cursing. I had just gotten that car and it was one of my favourites.‘’I don’t think anyone would survive that,’’ Aaron said, joining behind the car.I wouldn't rule out surviving the incident yet. I had seen strange things concerning this masked man and I was even more curious now to find out who he is.‘’We need the identity of this man. Dead or alive,’’ I said, looking at him, my arms crossed over my chest. ‘’It’s obvious he has a contract to end my life.’’‘’We can have the car fixed,’’ Aaron said suddenly. ‘’If you are bothered about it.’’Of course I was bothered about it. And I was bothered about this person who was constantly showing up to take my life.‘’I want info, Aaron. You are not just a figurehead. I want t

Octavia was standing in front of my door, looking lost. Seh seemed like she had missed her way to my room. I noticed the cut on her arm.‘’What happened?’’ I asked. ‘’Are you hurt?’’She traced her eyes to where I was looking and only looked at the cut briefly. ‘’I’m fine,’’ she said. ‘’Can we talk?’’‘’Sure,’’ I said, pushing the door wide enough for her to walk in.She forced a small smile on her face as she walked into the room. She noticed the new changes. ‘’You redecorated?’’I shrugged. ‘’I got bored.’’Aaron was avoiding me, and I was losing my mind. I had to do something to keep myself busy. We sat on the couch and she faced me. There was something in her eyes, like guilt or pain. I couldn’t tell which one, and I felt she wanted to talk about what happened in Russia. But I was over it and I didn’t want to be reminded again.‘’How are you feeling,’’ she asked. ‘’Generally?’’‘’I’m good,’’ I said, watching her.‘’Good good?’’ she asked.‘’Yeah.’’She reached for my hand

The masked man haunted me, and his reappearance today felt like the wound on my abdomen reopening again. I had to find him and put an end to him. The men had returned with news of only a sunken car found, but no body was seen. I had the strong feeling that he had escaped. Whoever he was, he probably had nine lives.Since I couldn't get him, I began to look out for who he was working with. From the way he usually knew where Octavia was, I had a strong conviction that he was working with someone within the family.A betrayer.I thought of Oli. She was the only one I could think of. She had worked with the family for less than three years, she disobeyed orders and she tried to run away. I pulled out a file on her and began to go through her records. She had failed her last mission, which was to be on the lookout for any attacks on Rose and Zion. I read through her reports, looking in between the lines for any inconsistencies.The report on the attack on Zion was very brief, lac

She was looking at the card and my face intermittently but I kept a straight face. She swiped the card over the machine in front of her and read through the details.‘’Which of our rooms would you like, ma’am?’’ she finally asked, returning the fake ID to me.‘’The suite,’’ I said. ‘’How much will that cost for a month?’’She told me. I reached for my bag and brought out a wad of cash. ‘’This is downpayment for fourteen days.’’She took it and watched patiently as the money counter buzzed and swiped through the notes. Satisfied, she printed out a receipt and hailed a concierge to take my things to the suite.The suite was located on the topmost floor and the view was great. As I stood on the terrace looking at the streets below, I felt a powerful feeling of loneliness overwhelm me. I rubbed my arms and stepped back into the room, closing the door. I knew the hunt for me would have started but I did all I could to make sure they didn’t get me on time. Until I had a better plan

I didn’t stop running until I hit the elevators and pinched the number to my floor. I stood there, my chest heaving from the exercise and from the realization of what had just happened. The man I had spoken to last night, who told me his name was Alex, was in fact Vincent Russo - the man I was being forced to marry.The elevator door opened and I stepped into the corridor and hurried to my room. I was still panting as I shut the door behind me and leaned on it. He had recognised me as Jane but not as Bree, which was still slightly good. I wished he had not recognised me at all.I picked up the phone and called the front desk. ‘’Hello?’’ my voice was still a bit shaky. ‘’This is Jane, calling from the suite.’’‘’Good afternoon, ma’am,’’ the receiver said.I walked around, taking the phone in my hand. ‘’I had some books delivered to the front desk this morning. Could you possibly send it up with lunch?’’‘’Absolutely, ma'am. That would cost you ..’’‘’I’ll pay,’’ I said, cutti

Seeing Bree was a mixture of emotions. I was pleased that she was found - safe and sound. But I was mad at her for running away. Had she not learned from what happened in Russia? Was running away the only solution she could come up with?I stepped towards them as the car opened and she stepped out. There was no remorse on her face, just disappointment that she had been caught. Her hair was a mess of indigo that i didn’t realise. I took brisk steps towards her, and before I could restrain myself, I struck her cheeks.The slap surprised everyone, just as it surprised me too. But I was too upset about all the humiliation she was causing to me. It was also my fault that she had gone missing for five days. I pulled her towards me and held her tightly.‘’How could you do this to me again, Bree? Do you only think of yourself?’’She was sobbing gently. ‘’I did nothing to you,’’ she said.I pushed her from me gently. ‘’You really cannot see what you are doing? Really, bree?’’She l

He was a liar. It was clear as day to me. I didn’t need to see the report from my source to know he was not who he claimed to be. But I needed it to prove it to dad. He was most likely a spy, and I was suspecting he was able to get in through Rory. She was up to no good but i was going to get her and finally kick her out of my home.‘’He looks smart,’’ dad said.‘’Smart, yeah,’’ I said. Smart enough to keep his tracts clean. But I had noticed the hesitations because I was out to prove he was a fraud. Dad had not noticed because he wanted to be convinced that he was a good pick.\‘’What do you think?’’ I could see his face light up with enthusiasm. The project in Iran had been on hold for a long time because dad could not trust his contact there.‘’I think we should keep our fingers crossed for now,’’ I said. I noticed the uncleared tray with a cup on his desk.‘’Why has no one come to clear your breakfast tray till now? I’m not really satisfied with this sudden change of s

For the first time in many years of my existence, I allowed myself to dream. I felt that flutter in my heart and that tingling in my toes that people described to be love. And I let myself drown in the thought of it. Rory.She was the first woman to make me feel like a man, and I was ready to do anything for her. With her, perhaps, I could finally have a place to call home.‘’Cyro.’’ Someone whispered my name. I recognised the voice and I knew he was the only one who would call me that. I turned around and saw Mikel. He was dressed up in his usual dark suit. It felt almost like eternity since I had last seen him.‘’What are you doing here?’’ he asked, pulling me to a corner. ‘’How did you get in here?’’I was happy to see him flustered. He had underrated me, but I was here to prove to him that I was able to do anything I set my heart to do. ‘’I’m here to finish my mission,’’ I said.‘’What mission are you talking about?’’ he hissed, his eyes darting around.‘’You underrated

I was thrown off by the sudden presence of someone in my room. I looked at him and hissed. ‘’Don’t walk into my room like that. Knock.’’He said nothing. He walked around the room in circles, like a predator going in for the kill. ‘’What’s your game here, Rory? I get back from leave and i heard you sacked all the staff.’’‘’I can do what I want, Mikel. I know my place. It seems you don’t.’’He crossed his arm over his chest. Three weeks away on leave had done him well. He looked a little bit younger but still grumpy. ‘’You should have told me,’’ he said.I sighed. Sometimes I wondered why I'd ever allowed myself to go into an affair with someone like Mikel. I had not much to gain from him. Yet he was still nosy and uncontrollable. Unlike Sylvester.‘’Mikel,’’ I said, walking to the foot of my bed. ‘’Like I said earlier, you don’t understand boundaries. I could get rid of you as easily as the other staff that were fired. Count yourself lucky that you’re still here right now.’’

She seemed happy to see me. ‘’You are back,’’ she sajid, kissing my cheeks. ‘’It hasn’t really been the same without you.’’I smiled. She was looking radiant. ‘’I just arrived a few minutes ago. How’s my brother?’’‘’Crying and eating a lot.’’ she laughed. ‘’I was told you laid off all the staff,’’ I said, trying to keep my voice from sounding challenging. ‘’What happened?’’‘’One of them stole my necklace, and the others are covering for it.’’ She walked to the cot and looked at her baby. ‘’Or it was a joint theft.’’I didn’t see why that necessitated firing the whole staff. She could have just fired those who had access to her room. Sending hundreds of people out there with information on our family was dangerous. And I expected her to know better. Unless she had a hidden agenda.‘’What necklace was stolen? ’’I asked.‘’The necklace Lionel bought for me when we went to Paris,’’ she replied. ‘’He was so upset that it got missing, Octavia.’’I nodded. ‘’Sorry about that.

‘’I’m sorry, Rose,’’ I said looking at the crying infant on my lap.She picked up the child and handed her to a girl who I identified in one of the photos. ‘’I don’t want you to be sorry, Octavia.’’ She looked at Zion too. ‘’I don’t want either of you to feel sorry for me. I don’t need you helping me too. But don’t try to stop me.’’I exhaled. ‘’I’m ready to help you get justice, Rose. I have the right connection. The people. Now is just not the time. You can’t win this.’’She returned to her seat and sat on it. I looked at Zion, waiting for him to say something. He couldn’t. I could see his face overpowered with guilt. He had misled Rose to think she meant something to him, and when she needed him, he had vanished. ‘’Rose..’’ I thought of the damage such a news article would do to my reputation. It would be a slap on everything I had worked to achieve. ‘’Say something, Zion.’’He leaned forward and rubbed his palms together. ‘’Firstly, Rose. I’m so sorry for what transpi

‘’Will you come with me to Amsterdam?’’I looked up at him, my short hair swinging as I did. I wasn’t sure I wanted to take this trip. ‘’It wasn’t in my plan,’’ I said, watching him dress up. We had spent the night together and at that point, I was quite sure what we were.‘’None of this was part of the plan,’’ he said, fastening his last button. He stepped towards me. ‘’I’d really love you to come with me, Octavia.’’The way he said it made it hard to say no. ‘’You have a way of messing up with my plans, Zion,’’ I said, rocking my body back and forth.It had been more than forty eight hours since my wallet was stolen from the lift. There was still no news about the thief nor the wallet. It was very upsetting and scary at the same time. The wallet contained my real ID, and I was afraid it could fall into the wrong hands. I wasn’t sure if Lionel da Vinci was popular in these parts but it was still very disturbing. Perhaps, going to Amsterdam was for the better. ‘’You had a

‘’You met Rose?’’ I could see he was finding it hard to follow the conversation.‘’Yes,’’ I said. ‘’I bumped into her as I was rushing out of the Ladies. She has a photo of Luca grabbing me in the bathroom. And she wants me to testify.’’He rubbed his fingers into his hair and stood up. He paced for a while before he returned to the seat. ‘’Are you saying Lucas has been harassing women sexually?’’I nodded.‘’And he tried to do that to you?’’‘’’Yes,’’ I said.‘’Damn it! Fuck!’’ He stood up. ‘’This is my fault. I should have told him who you were to me. I’m so sorry, Octavia.’’I said nothing.‘’You said you saw Rose?’’ he asked.‘’Yes. I left the hall with her,’’ I said.‘’Are you sure it was Rose you saw?’’I looked at him. ‘’I would know Rose, wouldn't I?’’‘’I’m sorry,’’ he said, rubbing his forehead. ‘’You mentioned that Rose wanted you to testify.. That she had a photo. What is it about?’’I let out a deep sigh. ‘’I’m not sure, but I think Lucas probably had his way

‘’Thank you so much for coming,’’ I said, shaking his hand warmly as I looked around for Octavia.‘’Beautiful presentation.’’I walked down to the table I had seen her last. It was unoccupied. A couple were seated just beside her table.‘’Good afternoon. Please, I’m looking for the lady who was seated here,’’ I said.‘’Oh,’’ the woman replied. ‘’She had some wine poured on her and she rushed off to the Ladies, i think.’’‘’Thank you,’’ I said, walking away.I stood a few feet from the table, waiting for her return. I was excited to share with her what the investors thought. I paced around, and glanced at my wristwatch. She had been gone for too long. I reached for my phone and began to dial her number while I walked towards the Ladies. I bumped into Lucas.‘’Hey, Lucas,’’ I said, observing the cut on his face and the wrinkles on his shirt. His hair looked roughened too, and he seemed upset. ‘’I was just looking for Octavia.’’I dropped my phone in my pocket as the call went u
