"Enough of the pretense, Ms Asher. I know everything." Robinson said. "What are you getting at? Out with it already."Mandy folded her arms across her chest holding Robinson's gaze. She no longer felt anxious about her secrets because what was the worst that could happen?"Why did you list as an anonymous investor, only after you learnt of the drug's effects?""So you know what that drug is capable of doing and you still go ahead to produce it.""The pros are far more than the cons and this is business Ms. Asher, not everyone must benefit out of it if you want to succeed"Robinson sipped from his juice, his face carved in a wry smile. Mandy's stomach suddenly started to turn from disgust of the man seated before her. To think she had thought of him as kind and gentle. He was nothing but the devil himself.She dropped her cutlery, the food suddenly bland to her taste buds. "I will leave first, Mr. Robinson. I believe this meeting is over." May made to pick up her bag but Robinson sai

A light knock came on May's door, following its push."Ready?"Clara asked, sticking her head through the door."Give me 5 minutes." May said brushing out her hair. She paused for a moment and looked at her mom."Going somewhere "May asked, her eyes roaming over Clara's outfit. "We have an appointment."Clara said and May frowned."Mom, I'm the one who has an appointment and no, you can't come with me."May said with seriousness."I'm waiting downstairs."Clara said disregarding May's stance and left, giving her time and space to finish dressing.The meeting with Mandy Asher was that night and Clara needed to make some contributions. Her initial plan was to bring Robinson in to help her present her proposal but since he had declined, she had to find a way to do it herself at the table.***"Are you ready?" Mandy asked Declan, who was seated at the porch. He had just finished attending to grandpa Asher and wanted to take a moment of rest."You didn't tell me I would accompany you."

"I'm going to check that out" The first guard said and stood up to leave. As soon as he got to the door and touched the handle, he fell on the floor and started to shake."What the fuck!"His colleague screamed and rushed over to help him out but the man kept shaking like he had a seizure till fell unconscious.His colleague rushed back to the screen to save the image they saw only to be met by a shocker. The figure was no longer standing at that spot, rather, something else was hung right where he was just standing."Wh— what's that?"The man backed away in fright. His eyes darted to his friend who was on the floor and unconscious and fear overtook him. He quickly pulled out the desk phone and called the other colleagues."Can anyone hear me? Someone should position at the front yard, I think there's an intruder."The guard spoke into the walkie talkie with shaky hands. Ten minutes later, about four security guards including the one that was in the control room were in front of th

Declan King sat at the edge of Mandy's bed. He had not left his side nor had his eyes gone from her. He looked at her with great passion in her sleep. The shrill sound of his ringing tone erupted at that moment and he stepped out to pick it up."Hey man..."Tye's voice spoke into the speaker. "Any update?Declan said in a low voice "They just got off the phone. I mean James and Robinson. They are planning to launch in a week's time.""Perfect. I expected that from them. How is your preparation going?" Declan asked, leaning against the wall."Your boys are in good shape and I think everything we need is set. Or is there something else you have in mind?""Oh not atall . I just want everything to be done and over with. Besides I had switched targets, another motherfucker needs my attention and I'm going to focus solely on him,"Declan said and silence fell everywhere for some while. "I feel you man" Tye said with his lips pressed together. He didn't know the details but he had seen th

"Arrgh"Governor Clark yelled in Fret when he saw the image on the door. It was the painting of a skull he was not sure was there when he entered first. Fear gripped him as he glanced around his office and saw that the window was open, someone had come in there."Guards!"Governor Clark yelled as his men filed in. Twenty minutes later, all the one hundred and ten men that guarded the governor filled the field.The governor stood on a platform in front of them with a deep frown on his face."How useless can you all be? That none of you saw the intruder!"The governor yelled in anger. "And this one happened in broad daylight. Were you all sleeping? How did that painting get on my wall!"The governor's voice thundered and his men flinched."I won't let this sin slide. All your allowances will be cut for 3 straight months and I will be watching you all. Try anything stupid and you are all dead!"He growled and the men whimpered in fear. Hitting them with a last hard stare, he walked a
