“I see that honeymoon agrees with you, Mrs Monroe.” Victoria started after Milicent had rejected the offer of refreshments. They were seated on a patio that opened up to the beautiful, artistically designed greenery that surrounded King’s Inn. “Yes, I would say that,” Millicent said with a hesitant smile. “Hmm,” Victoria said as she sipped the dry martini that the waiter had brought for her. “That is definitely what a woman who had been properly fucked would say,” she said simply with a wink. “What the heck?” Millicent thought, then she bared her teeth in the resemblance of a smile before she pointed at Victoria’s glass “Isn’t there something they say about drinking while on the clock?” “Oh, this little thing? It hardly matters and Mr. Maal doesn’t mind at all in as much as it didn’t affect my work and I can assure you that it does not” she said with a smile as she wagged her finger playfully at Millicent and took a long sip of her drink. “I can only imagine” Millicent muttered,

Millicent had convinced herself that secret affects the foundation of a successful marriage. Since she wouldn’t want to have anything disrupt the kind of life she realised she could have with Jason, she decided to ask him what she had had on her mind for the past week.She had sort of asked if Miss Harrison was an acquaintance and he had said no. To be honest, they had been interrupted just as he was about to say something else but she had not asked him again since then. Though she had convinced herself that it did not bother her, she still couldn’t get over the look that Victoria had on her face when she was talking about Jason’s muscles. It was almost as if she had personal experience with them.Millicent shook her head to dispel the horrible feeling that was creeping on her because of her thoughts. She reminded herself that she had intended to ask him about it that night.“He will explain that their meeting was nothing significant and we will get this behind us,” she said out loud

Just as Jason was thinking of how to handle the tension between him and his wife, he got another call.He was surprised to see the number again. Considering how their conversation had ended the last time. He picked up and waited for the person on the other end to talk."I know that you don't owe me a favour" Liam Monroe started. You are kidding. Jason thought."Not allowing you to have anything to do with Dad's burial is not the right thing to do. But he was specific about what he wanted when he finally departs us. So, I couldn't... Well, I am sure you don't need to know all the details after I deny you the opportunity of being a part of it. Erm, I will understand if you don't want to have anything to do with me. It is not like you know me anyway. I...""What do you want, Liam?" Jason asked. He was tired of the young man's rambling. He doubted that he was as embarrassed as he was trying to portray. But since he regretted not giving his uncle the benefit of the doubt, he was willing t

The cold steel doors of Rayford Penitentiary looked on impassively as a warden flipped through a huge leather-bound register. He tore a page off the register and input another entry into the register. He looked around at the two wardens sleeping peacefully in their chairs and he scoffed. He put his cell phone to his ear and said “Done, over to you. Don’t mess this up”In another part of the prison, a warden tiptoed to the desk of another sleeping warden, he waved his hand in front of her face. Assured that she wouldn’t steer, he plucked off the bunch of keys at her waist. He moved swiftly towards the end of the corridor. He quietly opened the reinforced door there and moved in stealthily. His eyes were on the guard stationed in front of another door there. He gingerly took the guard’s hand and placed it on the electronic keypad device on the door. There was a beeping sound and the door opened while the sleeping guard only chewed his mouth in sleep, his goatee twitching drunkenly befo

“What is going on, Jay?” Mia asked just as they were about to say their goodbyes. She had called to speak with the kids, but Jason got home while they were at it and they had their discussions as Jason went into his bedroom to undress.“What do you mean by that?” he asked, though he sort of had an idea of what she meant.“Between you and your wife of course. She was also so cheery when we chatted and all. I thought I was the one overthinking it, but then mom mentioned it the other day too. What is going on, brother? Anything happened between you guys?” Mia asked.“You mean apart from the fact that we are busy with the acquisitions and this business deal with Khan Maal? She is the company's COO, sisto, and just like every one of us, she is busy too,” Jason said with a smile. “Nothing is going on, Mia. I can assure you that I will be the first person to know if something is wrong with my wife,” he said firmly.“Are you lying to me, Jason?” Mia asked.Oh, for God’s sake. I have got enoug
