"What?!" Jason shrieked as he got up from the bed with a start, one that disturbed Daphne as well. She sat up in bed immediately as she watched him on the phone. There was a worrisome expression on his face that depicted that all was not well. "What hospital is he in right now?" She heard him ask the caller and that was when she was startled. The hospital could only mean that someone was sick. He soon ended the call and without saying a word to her, he headed to the closet and picked out a shirt. "What is going on?" Daphne asked him as he wanted to hurry out of the room. He looked at her briefly. "Jacob was rushed to the hospital this morning, and I have to be there immediately," he informed her before he kissed her goodbye and hurried out. Thankfully, Samson was waiting for him downstairs with an already prepared car, and he got in immediately. "I must caution you about the way you do your work here," Jason said to Samson. "I know that we are good friends, but that does not mean tha

As Evian came into the club in his normal cherry manner, everyone cheered and hailed him. He waved his hands in the air. The club was where he would usually spend his evenings after every successful execution of his devious plans. It was not about the loud music, the energetic people, or the drinks he had at the club. It was mostly about the women. Women were his weakness, and Evian could not go more than two days without a woman. However, he was not one to display his weakness in the open. Only those who were close to him usually had the opportunity to learn about his addiction. "Free drinks for everyone!" He announced it heartily and everyone cheered for him once again. He relished the praises of people so much. It made him feel alive in some kind of way. He was soon led to the elevator that would take him to the VIP section reserved for him. The reservation was usually made for him beforehand so that he would not have to undergo any hassle for it when he arrived. There was somethi

Jason took a napkin and cleaned his hands as he got into the car, so there would not be any sign at all that he had been near drugs. He looked regular, as though he had just come from work. He decided to go to the office even though it was so late at night. He needed some files as he had postponed a meeting that he had earlier in the day. He was intent on carrying out the operation first before he could do anything else and now that it was out of the way, he wanted to focus on what was important. Laura was still in the office when he got there, but he was not surprised. He was used to her presence at the office whenever he got there. He wondered when she had time to take some rest. Her husband was a house husband and they had an understanding. She brought in more than enough money to cater for the home and the fees of the kids. Her husband worked from home or did nothing at all. She did not mind at all, as she did not see any need why them should even have an extra source of income.

Jason was about to dash out of the hospital before he saw Jasmine coming in. He would have followed another route to avoid speaking to her but she was already walking towards him. He kept his head down in an attempt to ignore her, but she was not going to back off. “Jason,” she called out as she got to where he was. He lifted his head to look at her but did not say anything. “You cannot continue to ignore me,” she sulked. “I don't want to talk to you right now. I have a meeting to attend,” he said as he walked past her and out of the hospital. Emilia had told him that she had been coming to see Jason at the hospital since the surgery, and had even gotten him a few things. Jason could only think that she was trying to atone for the terrible thing that she had done. Gustavo was already waiting for him outside the hospital. Jason could not fathom how safe he felt around Gustavo, who was always alert and ready to act on instructions as swiftly as possible. “Good job,” Jason said to him a

As Jason sat in the plane and headed back to where he came from, he thought about how much of a close shave it was with Rasheed. He was not expecting to see him at all. He kept wondering if Rasheed was the amazing man that Zahrah was talking about. If he was, then he has succeeded in deceiving her. He wondered if she was aware of the kind of business that he did. She probably did not know that the man that she adored so much was a drug Lord, and was a member of a deadly cult. She had to be ignorant about it because, from what he saw, Zarah was so much of a good woman to have anything to do with a man like Rasheed. He soon got to the airport and when he did, he decided that he would head to the office first. Laura needed first-hand information on what had happened. As he entered her office, she was searching his face for some information, but he succeeded in maintaining a blank expression. He took a seat first before he broke into a smile. “Was it good news?” She asked him. “I signed
