Chapter 40-HELEN'S VISIT"Tony calm down, it hasn't gotten to you flinging your phone across the room,"Collins said, placing his hands on Tony's shoulder to comfort him. He knew that his friend was going through a lot and needed all the comfort that he could get.Mariam went across the room and picked up the phone, fixed the battery back into the phone and tried to put it on and fortunately the phone came on."I think nothing is broken, the phone is still intact,"Mariam said with concern in her face . The past month has been choking for them all but the major burden has always been on Tony. There's no way she could comfort him."Everything is so fucked up, I'm trying to think and nothing is even coming forth, how depressing," Tony said with great concern showing on his face. He has never been this blank before, he was a genius and always had answers for all his problems , but this time around, he doesn't know what is happening."I know that this is a lot to take in Tony but you got th

Chapter 142-RECOVERY "The thing is your mother is conscious and her vitals are great , it's just that she doesn't respond to sensations, so we think she has a stroke," Mariam said with her voice shaking a bit.Helen fell on the ground, this was really Karma dealing with her and her mother.How she wished she didn't do all the bad things she did to Tony probably her and I would not have faced this kind of situation."Helen, it has not gotten to that, the cure is still good through a process, at least she has been stabilised, the lab scientist will still work on the cure further, you should be encouraged that she's alive," Tony said with remorse reaching out to Helen. He felt bad that she had to go through this, although he disliked her now but he cannot deny the fact that she has been a great daughter to her mother especially in these trying times."But what if she remains paralyzed for life , won't that be the same as her dying,"Helen said with her face red and swollen because she h

Chapter 144-THE ATTACK"Sir, we are here now. Is there anything we should know, so we could do our job better because our boss told us that ,you were involved in some kind of danger.......”"You are right, but I want you guys to settle in first, you just got here, later I'll explain the details to you." Tony said to them a little apprehensive.Although they were here to protect him, he was still sceptical about everything. He doesn't know who to trust aside from Mariam and Collins and his grandmother, every other person was a suspect."You will be staying in the east Wing of the house, just go down the hallway and you will see your rooms, I'll call you guys later for us to discuss," Tony said to them as they excused themselves from his presence.He looked at them leaving, he had no choice at this point, since they're the ones in charge of protecting him from now on he had to give them some necessary information about himself although there are somethings he could not trust them with y

CHAPTER 146-THE INTERROGATION He went into his room and got changed with one of the officers watching him. After getting ready he made his way downstairs, Collins and Mariam were with him as he moved outside, he asked only Jack and one other person to follow behind them for security reasons. They got into the car and drove to the station.Immediately they got to the station, Tony was led into the interrogation room, Mariam and Collins were not allowed inside. This made them apprehensive. What were they trying to do?After a few minutes, Inspector Gavin went into the interrogation room with one other officer , the room was under strict surveillance as Tony has been termed a criminal."Good evening, Mr Tony, you are a suspect of the murder of your cousin in Mr. Henry Storm, you're entitled to a lawyer if you have one but if you do not, you will be provided with one, do you understand,"inspector Gavin said with his face expressionless. He maintained a cool composure."I totally understa

CHAPTER 148-THE REQUEST Sleeping on the bed and oblivious of what was happening in the world around her, Helen's mother, Mrs Lugard was lying with her head resting peacefully on the pillow. The sound of the monitor was being heard loudly as it beeps in intervals. The room had good lighting and it was well ventilated.Mrs Lugard's bed was situated by the window which allowed for the easy passage of air into the room. She was still connected to her I.V medication which was flowing at the desired rate.A nurse walked into the room, she went straight to the monitor, checked Mrs Lugard's vitals in the screen after which she documented it in the chart she was holding, she proceeded to check the I.V infusion Mrs Lugard's was on and realised that it will be getting finished very soon, she quickly stepped out of the room and went to get the next infusion in order to prevent damage being done on the patient because she needed a particular amount of fluid with a specific time.The nurse was sti
