“Liam, you're certain you don't need my assistance?” Madam Aurelia asked. She had been on the phone with him for about half an hour now. “Yeah, I will be fine with the others.” He affirmed, reviewing everything she had said in his head. At the end of the call, Liam rejoined the others in the living room. “If you're still doubting, I can prove to you that Xavier is the mole Alaric had planted to monitor you.” Rose said immediately he plopped on the couch. “The trend he uses whenever something happens… remember?” Dave asked, crossing his hands on his chest. “What trend?” Liam was getting even more confused. Coupled with what his mother had said to him, he felt like his head was blowing up. “At first, he will pull himself out, giving you reasons why he can’t be a part of your team and then he will return with stuff you can use to wriggle yourself out.” “How did he know about the grenade in your office?” Dave asked, peering at Liam. It was at this moment it dawned on Liam the poin

After the episode with Sam, Liam decided to focus on work before he gets choked up with the numerous jobs on his lists. He had just finished a file when he heard a knock on his door. At first he wanted to ignore but thinking whoever it was on the other end had something important to say to him, he ushered the person in. Grinning from side to side, Xavier stepped into his office. “I waited for your text all through the night but it never came.” He muttered, plopping on the couch with his legs crossed. “Are you trying to get words from me so you can relay them to your master?” Liam asked with his gaze trained on him. “What are you talking about?” Xavier asked with a raised brow. “You’ve been caught in your act, you should own up to it.” Came Liam's response as he continued scrolling through his laptop. For the next few minutes that followed, no one said a word. While Liam continued flipping through his files and scrolling through his laptop, Xavier had his gaze on him. Pressing

Unknowingly to Liam, Naya got wind of his presidential visit and ever since then, she had been suspicious. Everyone had kept to themselves so she wouldn't be suspicious of what they were up to but with the presidential visit, she was certain something was going on under her nose. With her hands resting on her thigh, she was staring at the screen of her laptop, trying to get lost in the article she was reading. The article didn't help matters since it was related to AI tech, taking her mind back to Liam and the visit. During dinner that day, Rose decided to share her experiences at school on the table but just when she was about to get to the climax of her tale, Naya cut in. Clearing her throat, she made sure four pairs of eyes were staring back at her before she decided to speak, “What are you guys up to? And don't you try to deceive me.” She said with a warning tone, her gaze on Liam. “What are you talking about?” Rose asked, exchanging glances between her and Liam who was swir

At first, Alaric didn't think anything about the blurred part of the video. It was when he remembered the paramedics who remained in the scene that was when he was triggered. Rising from the couch he was occupying suddenly with his hand resting on his waist, he began staring into space as his head spiraled with different thoughts. “Someone must have come for him. There is no way the paramedics will remain in a spot when someone is dying.” He muttered, reaching out for his phone on the arm of the couch. Dialing a contact, he placed his phone against his ear but the call didn't go through, frustrating him even further. With his hand stuck up in his hair,he began to pace around only to storm out of the living room the next minute. On arrival at the airport, it was like nothing had even happened there an hour ago and so instead of making enquiries, he took his leave. Now seated behind the steering wheel of his car, he had a hand supporting his chin while the other was on the wheel.

“Oh no!” She squirmed internally as her legs and whole body trembled. It was as if she was going to pass out the next second. Alaric on the other hand didn't stop staring at her like she was a piece for auction in a bidding contest.Kaylan knew Alaric before now but this was their first physical meeting, thanks to his dealings that were exposed to the public. She didn't need anyone to tell her she was meeting with a dangerous man. His aura and everything about him screamed danger, prompting her to scream too but she couldn't even make a sound. “You seem to have a lot of time on your hand.” He finally broke the silence but that didn't make Kaylan relieved even for a second. She felt blood draining from her, as the grip on her phone weakend. Just when she was about to pass out in fright, Alaric's phone began to buzz in his pocket and he pulled it out. He took a few steps away from her, blocking her path in the process but nevertheless, she let out the breath she had been holding i
