“You can’t be serious,” Lydia said. Ben was still trying to grasp what had just happened. He had put the pieces together easily. Roman’s car was parked haphazardly by the roadside. It meant that he had been in a rush. Maybe he had been held at gunpoint or he had been trying to run from a shootout. It would only explain why the door was left open, and why the battery had died. And then, there was blood on the pavement. Maybe it wasn’t his. Maybe it was from one of the thugs that had tried to end him. But either way, someone had been killed, and he feared that it was Roman. Roman hadn’t been armed last night, and he wouldn’t just kill recklessly. There had to be something that occurred. Plus there was also a body missing. The dumpster and its surroundings were stained with blood. It meant that someone had taken it from there. Ben wasn’t sure it was Roman’s. But if it wasn’t, then where was he? Why wasn’t he picking up his calls? And why didn’t he come home?Ben was in a dilemma. S

Troyes Incorporated was in a mess currently, but that was concealed tonight by a lavish party rumored to have been organized by the new CEO. After the death of Lincoln Troyes, the company had been in limbo because there had been no leader to control the company. But that was going to him tonight. Why? There was a new CEO that was going to be announced and everyone was eager to know who it was. Well, everyone but Lilian and David Troyes. As their Cadillac arrived at the party, Lilian felt she should have stayed home instead. She wasn’t ready to be back in public. Her mind was still trying to grasp the reality that had hit her a few moments ago. Her father’s death had hit her hard, and she was still trying to recover from the shock. Her husband, David, had always been with her trying to make sure that she got everything she needed. But that didn’t matter to her. The only thing she wanted was for her father to be alive. But that was a wish she couldn’t be grantedShe would have to liv

Eric tapped his chin as he watched the news from his couch. It was showing the party of Troyes Inc. when Eric saw the video of Donald Weah coming up as the new CEO of Troyes Inc. He couldn’t help but think that something was off. There was something wrong with Troyes Inc. It was barely weeks after Lincoln Troyes had died, and he had been expecting David Troyes, his son-in-law to step up as the new CEO. Eric was certain that was what everybody had pictured as well. So who was this man? And why was he the new CEO? Did David step down for him? Eric doubted that. He rose from the couch and headed into the kitchen with two empty bottles of beer. When he dumped them in the trash can, he reached for the telephone that was by the wall and dialed Adam’s number. The phone rang for a while before Adam picked up. “What is it?”Eric walked back into the living room with a torn wireless receiver. “Are you seeing this?” He asked as he stood before his television screen. There was silence for a

Roman opened his eyes once more and stared at his surroundings. He sighed as he realized that he was still in Florence’s room. When he had first woken up, he thought that it had all been a dream and that he would eventually wake up in his office or his bedroom. But that wasn’t true now. The prospect of getting shot was traumatizing. It seems Viper Don was out to make his life miserable. After getting his spike broken by his men, he attempted to take his life. That was all that he needed. Roman knew that with him out of the picture, Viper Don would have easy access to the artefacts and Selena as well. That had been the plan all along. Roman tried to sit up, but the pain in his chest stung a lot. He sighed and decided to lie back down. It was happening all over again. Just like the time had his back broken. He had been immobile for weeks until he had been nursed back to health by Lydia and Ben. Roman had hated that feeling of always having to depend on others for survival. And it wa

Adam walked through the hallway with haste. He was heading back to his desk to meet up with Eric. In his hand was a flash drive, a drive which seemed to contain something worth much to Adam. They were still on the case after Deputy Behrens had told them to stay away from it. There was no way they were going to let the Deputy decide who brought the murderers and all those involved in the case to Justice. So far, there hadn’t been anyone who had been employed to take over the case which had been suspicious to Adam. They had been taken off the case for about a month now and there was nobody that had been appointed to handle the case. The case seemed to be stale and scary in the water which wasn’t a good look. And that wasn’t all. There was a new development in the case. One that was going to shock Eric. When Adam arrived at the desk, he found Eric seated with his feet on the desk as he leaned back on his seat. He had a hat covering his face and Adam knew that he was sleeping. They ha
