Seated in the balcony of his house, Alaric had his legs crossed with a coy smile playing on his lips.Drumming his fingers against the arm of the chair he was occupying, he kept on humming a rhyme to himself. “Sir, I have done as instructed.” Sam said, standing next to him with his hands folded in front of him. “Really?” He laughed, pushing a chip into his mouth and then he began to chew on it slowly. Suddenly, he grabbed the glass which held water on the low stool next to him and then threw it over the guardrail. The crashing sound made him rise, grabbing the rail, he looked over bursting into a loud laughter which sent chills down Sam's spines. “Sir, what should I do?” Sam asked, trying to hide the look of worry on his face. “Nothing, absolutely nothing.” Folding his hands across his chest, he fell back on his seat and then crossed his legs. “I need to come up with the perfect plan to make it look more real. Now, what should I do?” He pondered, hitting his foot against the fl

When Madam Aurelia heard the news of his arrest, she passed out at once and all efforts to revive her were futile. Ladened with the burden of looking after Madam Aurelia and Liam who was currently at the holding cell at the same time, Mr. Jones were shuttling around, making calls in between. “Sir, she is not in a critical situation, she will pull out.” The doctor responded when he called him for the sixth time in half an hour. “Please, try your best. We can't lose her.” “I will do everything within my power. All you need to do is to trust me.” He said with a reassuring tone but Mr. Jones was still bothered. When he arrived at the police station, he quickly got out of his car and then hurried into the building only to meet Naya and Sam. “Thank goodness you’re here.” Naya said, immediately she saw Mr. Jones walking towards them. “Have you been able to speak with him?” He asked, looking from her to Sam who stood behind her. “He doesn't want to see us but I’m certain he wouldn't t

After leaving the police station, Alaric dropped by the prosecution office and was immediately led to the office of one of the presiding judges. “Oh, here you are.” Judge Carlton said as he ushered hlm in with wide arms. “When are you going to change these furniture? They no longer befit you, you know.” Alaric said, looking around the office before he plopped on the couch. Carlton rejoined him after brewing two mugs of coffee. “I’m impressed, you know.” He was grinning like a little child. “I told you, he is nothing but a pawn in my game and I move him anywhere I want and at any time.” Alaric bragged. “You can say that again.” Carlton laughed. For immunity against the law, Alaric struck a deal with several important people in the country and Carlton was just one of them. “So… what do you intend to do with him now?” Carlton asked, crossing his legs. “You can’t leave him in the holding cell for more than forty eight hours.” “He is out.” Alaric replied, drumming his finger agains

Still holding the envelope with a triumphant look on his face, Liam dialed Dave's phone. “Where are you?” He asked when he heard his voice on the other end. “You know what, I will send a doc to you right now. I need you to check in with it and return your findings as soon as possible.” “I will be waiting.” At the end of the call, Liam took a snap of all the documents and then sent them to Dave who swung into action at once. Grabbing his remote off the table, he turned on the TV only to turn it off the next minute. The broadcasting station was airing the episode that had happened that morning. Pushing his hand into his pockets, he made his way out of his office and then went straight to the guardrail, looking over the whole place. “Just like Giovanni!” Sam announced his presence. He has been waiting for Liam to step out ever since Dave left his office. Acting like no one was there, Liam titled his head to the side. “Are you attempting to jump over too?” He asked, nudging his sid

It was already dusk but Alaric was yet to get over what had happened. It was a slap to his face and he couldn't sit back without taking action. Biting his lower lips as he paced around his balcony, he had his hand resting on his hips. “I wonder how he was able to lay his hands on that. All these while, he had been snooping on me or… someone on the inside helped him.” He muttered, just then, Sam joined him. With his hands clasped in front of him, he did a curt bow. “Sir, I didn't find anything.” His voice was low but audible for Alaric to hear. “You didn't find anything, not even a grain you mean.” “It was a clean job, he was extremely careful with his deals.” He replied only to have his back against the wall the next minute. Still fuming, Alaric walked up to him, grabbing the cuff of his shirt, he tossed him aside again, eliciting a loud groan that shook the foundation of the house. It was at this moment that Giovanni walked in. Seeing this, he didn't need anyone to tell him w
