He finally evaded several of them before he met the boss - Griffith, the crime kingpin.Griffith’s body was a deadly canvas of terror. His body was a tapestry of scars and scary-looking tattoos and his teeth were like deadly rows of silent daggers. His presence was a cruel shadow of menace and his aura exuded fear.But what was more scary was that he had a snake around his neck which was curling and crawling slowly in a relaxed manner but with a deadly gust of venom. Mr. Billing had never seen anyone create so much fear in him before. His breath was held in a deadly terror as his heart pounded in a way that almost ripped out of his chest.Griffith curled his mouth dramatically and made a whistling sound, flaring his hands as if to tell him to back off.The young man who escorted him knew exactly what Griffith was signaling about. “Hey, pull off your shoes.”Mr. Billing turned his gaze toward the young man. Did he just tell him to pull off his shoes? What was the logic behind that? He

“I was just messing with you. Of course, if we can cart off some money in the operation, you will have 10 percent of the cut.”Mr. Billing slumped his shoulder in embarrassment, his breath coming in a rapid gasp of humiliation. What the hell would he do with 10 percent? Anyway, he didn't even have a say in the matter so he had to accept.“Alright, there is no issue.”Griffith’s eyes widened in a deadly feeling of curiosity. “Come to think of it, the video recording that was trending just a few days ago was that of Lesley right? I mean Lesley from your company? He is your son right?”Mr. Billing slumped his head in shame. He didn’t like to discuss what happened with Lesley and hoped that he could put it behind him. “Yes, it was Lesley. He was forced to do it although I am still pissed with him.”“Oh, of course, you don’t have to tell me that he was forced. I am not a fool - of course, I know he was forced by Alan because why else would he do such a thing? Now, I see why you would want

“I am not Sir. I just want my money back. I feel cheated because I have been the best employee at Retro over the last few years. It was only just a few months ago that I was finally recognized.”“Why must it be that my recognition would be marred by controversy especially when I haven’t been involved in anything problematic.”“I doubt that you are sure of what you are saying Mr. Reynold,” Alan uttered. “I do not deny that you have been a very diligent employee over the last few years but there have also been scandals that you have been involved in which you haven’t defended yourself.”“We take values and morals very seriously at Retro and there is evidence that proof that you are not only responsible for the poor medical condition of that young girl but also that you have hired thugs to silence her parents.”“I want you to know that if anything at all happens to the Andrich family, I will make sure I rip you off the air that you breathe.”Reynold’s eyes widened with a deadly stretch o

Rose felt a need to apologize because it would have been her fault if something were to happen and there was a crash.She stretched her neck out of the car and her voice was tinged with remorse. “I am sorry about that Sir.”She turned on the ignition of her vehicle in a bid to restart but as the engines were turned on, she looked into her side mirror and noticed that the same guy from the other vehicle was approaching her.What the hell? She thought. Had she not apologized already? Or did she hit his vehicle without knowing? Why can’t he just be on his way already? She was already getting late to Brody’s school and she knew there was going to be some trouble if Mr. Lawrence learned that Brody was not picked up from school on time.The man reached the wind frame. He looked quite tall, about 6’2 and he had a squared jaw and sleepy eyes. His dress was casual as he was on a T-shirt and Jeans.“Sir, I have already apologized. It was a mistake okay? I had a brief moment where I lost control

“Don’t worry about that Samuel. Let’s keep that sealed.”“Or is it because Alan now owns a consortium,” Samuel asked, his eyes twinkling with a flicker of playfulness. “I mean, which woman wouldn’t change her mind when so much money is involved.”Rose’s expression hardened with a deadly tightening of annoyance. “Sam, I think it’s high time we end this conversation. I appreciate that you find it kind enough to give me this information though.”“Alright, that is fine. I guess I will have to alight here then,” Samuel said.He alighted the vehicle and went off to his vehicle while Rose drove off. She couldn’t help but get excited that she was still married to Alan. At least, the horror show of living in Alan’s house would be no more. She would no longer have to listen to his gruesome instructions and be disrespected like a woman with no value.She couldn’t help but think about all the messages she received from the employees at Billing Corporation though.But most of all, the fact that
