The party was in full swing when I walked in. I slumped on the chair beside my brother and pulled him into an embrace.‘’Happy birthday, Nile,’’ I said to him.It had been over a year since we spoke last after the argument that followed me leaving his house. I had avoided him, and moved into a new city where I hoped he would not be able to find me. I wasn’t sure if he eventually did, but I hadn't seen him since that day.‘’I’m so glad you could make it,’’ he said, grinning from ear to ear. ‘’How was your flight?’’I shrugged. ‘’Not bad.’’ I looked around. Miranda was not there. I had read about their separation on the news and because of the triangle between us, I had not asked him.‘’She isn’t here,’’ he said, reading my mind. He crossed his legs. ‘’It isn’t the first time she had thrown tantrums and left. She’ll be back.’’He was so confident about it that it irritated me. ‘’I know I shouldn't be saying this, Nile. But you should treat her better,’’ I said. The waiter arriv

There had been rumors flying around the mansion for so long. Rory was pregnant, and it was likely to be a male child. Most people were of the opinion that he would make a better successor than I would.Aaron said he had not heard anything of such, but I couldn't believe him. He was probably only trying to protect me. I had to take matters into my own hands. I had labored so much in the last two years that I was not going to let her take everything I had worked so hard for. Even if it meant killing her. So I was meeting with this hitter in Creekwood.He had picked the club to meet privately with his recruiter. The man was a middle aged man with a goatee that was so parched that I wondered why he hadn’t just cleared it off. I stepped into the club, looking for the man with the sparse goatee.My eyes swept across the entrance. I could see a young man and a lady leaning close, possibly kissing. I didn’t know why but something caused me to look again. I realised it was Zion. I f

I looked around me for help. Then in an instant, I fell to my knees and placed my ears to his chest. He was still breathing. I couldn’t find any obvious injury to him. There was only a half finished glass of wine in front of him. Was his drink spiked?I tapped him gently, in fast successions. ‘’Zion? Zion!’’No response.I lifted him off the floor and threw him on the chair, undoing his buttons and loosening his belt. I noticed that his phone and wallet were missing from his pocket. It was likely that his drink had been spiked and he was robbed in the process.‘’You foolish man.’’ I laughed gently.I reached for my phone and called Aaron. ‘’I need you on the veranda,’’ I said, still watching the rise and fall of his chest.When Aaron arrived, we decided that I didn't want to go in search of Nile, and we couldn’t leave him there. So we concluded on taking him to a safer location.There was a hotel just across the road. I knew the hotel but I had never used their services. W

It felt like a tight band was around my forehead and something was hitting the middle of my head. I turned in my sleep, until I eventually woke up to the sound of pounding on the door. But the headache persisted. The room was dark but I could tell I was on a couch.Where am i?The knocks continued. There was some light coming into the room from the corridor outside, so I could find the door. But who was knocking? And what time? I tried to remember something. I remembered being in the club to see my brother. I recalled the girl. Estella.Octavia.I remembered seeing her and then waiting for her to finish with her meeting. Estella had joined me again with a glass of wine. We talked and that was all I could remember. I rubbed my fingers over my throbbing head. Teh knocking on the door had not ceased. Was it Estella? Perhaps I had followed her to her house.I grunted as I pulled myself out of the couch and dragged my feet towards the light. I struggled with the lock on the door,

She pulled away from me slowly and turned back to the window.‘’How long do i have to keep on saving your ass?’’ she asked, a small smile on her face. I ran my fingers over my hair. ‘’What happened? I can’t seem to remember anything,’’ I said, walking to the breakfast tray. There was sausages, eggs, bacon and some toast bread with chocolate drink. I was really hungry.‘’I found you sitting on your chair, unconscious,’’ she said, turning around to look at me. ‘’I don’t understand how someone can be seated and unconscious.’’I let out a laugh, a piece of sausage in my mouth. “I was having a drink while I waited for you. A lady came to join me. I think she put something in my drink,’’ I said.“The same lady I saw you kissing?” she asked.I crossed my arms on my chest. “So you had seen me when you walked in.’’ I laughed. “Unfortunately, i don’t know her. And I don't know how this would not make me even look worse.”“I’m not bothered about that,” she said, walking to the tray and

The loud crashing sound cut me short , and immediately I found myself in defensive mode. I wasn’t sure what it was but I had to be prepared. I reached for my gun that was strapped around my thigh underneath my gown and within seconds, I was ready to attack“Stay out of sight,” I said to Zion as I approached the door.Through the peephole, I could see nothing. But there seemed to have been some activities in the corridor. I opened the door suddenly, using it as a shield for a second before I stepped out of the room. There was no one in the corridor. Aaron’s room was open. Whatever had happened a few seconds ago, was between him and someone. I began to walk down the corridor, when he suddenly appeared on the other end. I raised my gun up in defence, and lowered it when I saw it was him.“What happened?” I asked.He seemed to have been injured. He was walking with a limp. “Someone was lurking around your door with a gun,” he said.“What?”He reached me. “I heard light footst

Going back to Nile’s house felt more awkward than I could have imagined. I had gone to check for him at his office after I left the hotel, but his grumpy and impolite secretary had said he was not on seat. It was a bit more comfortable because Miranda was not in the house anymore, but walking through those doors brought a mix of emotions I hated.He was relaxing by the poolside when I found him. His chest was bare and the only piece of clothing he had on were his shorts. “Nile,” I called out.He turned towards me, taking off his sunglasses. “Hey. You came to check on me? Join me at the pool.”I hesitated for a minute, tossing all Octavia had told me about him in my mind. I knew my brother was someone who loved to be in charge but I couldn't imagine he’d want to hurt me just to take control of my life.“You don’t like the sun?” he asked, noticing my hesitation.I approached him and I caught the image of a girl napping some feet away, dressed sparingly. I wasn’t sure if it was

“Have you seen Tammy today?” I turned around suddenly, dropping the pack of candies I was arranging on the shelf. It was Matron. She was always fond of sneaking in on people suddenly.“No,” I said. “I haven’t seen her all morning.”She nodded and walked away. Matron had worked as a teacher for many years until about a year ago when she started overseeing the store. Her real name was Martha but she became popularly known as ‘Matron” because of the way she treated the workers as her class students.It was my third month working at the store, and even though I had started as a cleaner, I had been promoted to something less ‘’feminine”. I was responsible for unloading items from the trucks and loading them onto the shelves. I was also in charge of taking inventories and noting when we were about to run out of items. It was a pretty impressive role and it required me to be focused on work, but I had still not lost sight of the thing that mattered the most to me. When i was not u

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
