NIKAELEON***I almost rolled my eyes when Antonio and Scorpion joined me as I took a seat in my study. Nosy bastards, of course they would want to be here. But, they were my trusted men so I didn’t complain or order them back. Few minutes later, that same guard that had passed the information earlier walked into the study. The door was open so there was no need for him to knock. He was with the woman in question and just like he said, she looked filthy and exhausted. I waved my hand at the guard and he left.She was dark skinned, and her brown hair was matted with what looked like mud. It had to be mud because there were streaks of it all over her face and body, like she crawled all the way here in the dirt.“Who are you?” I asked and she looked up at me.“Can…” She started to speak but her voice sounded so hoarse, like it hadn’t been used in ages.She cleared her throat and tried again.“Can I get something to eat first, please, I’m starving.” She croaked.“You’re in no position to

NIKAELEON***When I returned home that day, Scorpion informed me that Aina was awake.“Has she said anything?” I asked him.“No, she refuses to speak with anyone but you. For such a little thing, she can be very demanding. I told her what time you usually return from work and she asked for proper clothes to wear.”“That’s not really a demand, it’s the bare minimum. Do you expect her to prance around the house naked? I would be more suspicious of her if she hadn’t requested for clothes.” I said to him.“So, will you see her now?” He asked.“I just got back from work, dude. Let me breathe first. I’ll take a shower, then she can join us for dinner. After that, we’ll talk in my study.” I said to him and walked to my room.“Now you look like a human being.” Scorpion said as Aina joined us at the dining table.She had showered and washed off all the dirt and grime from her skin. She wasn’t as dark as the dirt on her skin had made her seem yesterday, her skin was caramel coloured. Her hair

NIKAELEON *** I was held up in traffic for over an hour on my way to work and I began to contemplate using the helipad in the mansion to get to work from now on instead of having to endure being at one point for so long. There was a helicopter on the roof of the company that I could use, but it’s company property. The helipad in the mansion was for emergency situations, and the helicopters owned by the family business were in a hangar about twenty miles from the mansion. Maybe I would just use one of those helicopters to move from the mansion to work to avoid all these unnecessary delays. There’s enough land around the mansion, I could have a private hangar built there and have one of the helicopters permanently stationed there with a standby pilot always on call. Or better yet, I would just buy myself a new helicopter instead of using one of the business choppers. “Good morning, Sir.” Mira said to me as I walked out of the elevator. “Unfortunately, there’s nothing good about the m

NIKAELEON***Socialising… This was one part of the job I hated with every fibre of my being. I was expected to mingle with people I didn’t give a damn about and who would probably stab me in the back the moment it was suitable for them. I was expected to act civilised and pretend like I cared about making connections with the people present tonight at this event when I couldn’t care less about any of them. Most of them were just here for reputation sake, not because they believed in the cause of the charity.The event was to raise funds for cancer research while giving the rich assholes here a medium to pretend like they were good people and show off their wealth in the form of expensive clothes and jewellery. Reporters were present with cameras, recording the event and waiting for a possible scandal. The event was strictly by invitation, and there was a red carpet right outside where the attendees could pose for pictures and answer questions. They made it seem like they wanted to do

NIKAELEON *** I got to work the next day, and when I was done with my major projects for the day, I began to think of what my next course of action would be and how I would execute it to achieve my aim.The first phase of my plan was to get Uriel’s number. I could no longer remember the number she was using when we were dating, and even if I did, she had probably changed her number a long time ago. Getting the number wasn’t hard to do, the problem was that I realised how suspicious it would look to Uriel if I called or texted her. Like I said, she’s a smart woman. Just yesterday, I almost threw her off a balcony and told her indirectly that I loathed her very existence. If I messaged her today, seeming friendly or asking to meet up, she would immediately know that something was up. She would probably assume that I realised that I could use her against her husband, and she wouldn’t be wrong. She may not have cared if I was just after Connor, but she has a daughter to consider now. I k
