The man seemed really afraid of the shabby looking man in front of him as he continued to plead without raising his face. This went cold shivers into the nerves of all those who had made bets with him. “That’s Me Garry! The Manager of this Hotel. Is he really on the floor or are my eyes deceiving me?” Said an onlooker from a distance. The old lady who has made her move to leave the scene out of annoyance was frozen and this effect was not only for her, it was distributed to everyone in the room, the stillness, the rising tension and the pounding heartbeats amidst open mouths were truly remarkable. “Who could that be? That young man definitely is someone of high dignity for Mr Garry to prostrate before him.” “More like a god! Norah.” Hilda said to Norah as they watched with their mouth agape. The stillness didn’t stop Leonard’s heart from pounding against his chest, he took three steps backward as though he was preparing to take off gulping in saliva. No matter how he tried t

Mira’s heart sank deeper and deeper into her stomach, even from afar it was visible that her hand was shaking as she tried to catch her breath. “Si…Sir.” She couldn’t find the words she wanted to speak. Francis gave her a stare that read ‘I warned you!’ as he took interval glances at her. Mira looked for solace but she found none. “Come on, don’t be scared. I don’t bite.” Jason said calmly with a smile, but this only made matters worse for Mira who definitely knew that the man was going to ‘bite’ in one way or the other especially after what she had seen him do. “Mira dear, I would really want us to check the card again. Who knows, it may have been a case of network glitch.” Jason said with a smirk taking two steps forward towards Mira. “But Sir…Bu…” Mira stammered amidst the tension that had already taken over her entire existence. She looked around, but no one seemed to care about her situation, they only looked because they wanted to see what was going to become of her by th

Owen went towards the man who held up his phone capturing everything that was unfolding but for some reason, the man didn’t react when he came close to him. He only held up his camera right in front of him and continued to record. This made Owen angry and determined to follow the instruction Jason have to him to the latter. Without any further hesitation, he bent over and lifted the man from the ground to the shock of everyone around. “How dare you! Do you know who I am? Let me down this minute you fool!” The man barked but all his utterances met deaf ears as Owen continued to carry him towards the reception area not ready to let him go. “Didn’t you hear me? I said let me down this minute! I can make you disappear!” He continued barking but Owen already had chosen a side which evidently came from the devil he knew. “What do you think the stranger is going to do to that man?” “I don’t know let’s watch I guess this is because he was recording.” Norah replied her colleague as s

The next morning, as early as the first flicker of dawn, Jason got up from the bed in the presidential suite. It had been an amazing night for him sleeping on the king sized bed and having to sleep for such a long time without having to be woken up by any member of the Palmer family or even his ex wife who always called him names such as lazy ass or good for nothing. “This feels so good!” H exclaimed with a bright smile on his face. The room was massive indeed, with an elegant chandelier hanging above him, the view which could be seen from the casement window was the sea flowing freely towards the ocean. Jason sighed as he got up from the cozy bed, then he stretched his entire body without letting go of his smile. Few moments later he heard a knock on his door.For a moment he wondered who must have been knocking at his door that early so he kept quiet and listened carefully to be sure that the knock really came from the door, but it was really the case as the knock came for the

“What? I didn’t steal them!” Jason said trying so hard not to overreact to the words that came out of Jacob’s mouth. His fists were clutched tightly as his breathing began to increase gradually. “Oh what are you trying to do? Hit me as well? I can see that you have added assault to your resume.” Jacob glared at Jason looking ay his tightened fists. Just then, Isabella appeared from the stairs carrying their son who was sound asleep on his mother’s bosom. “What is going on here?” She asked the moment she saw Jason and her cousins engaged in a heated argument. “Well good thing you are here Bella. Your ex husband here stole some new pair of cloths and a Hublot watch. There is no way he could have bought them, I am sure of that.” “Is this true?” Isabella said to Jason following what Jacob said to her. “Of course not! Why would I steal?” Jason returned immediately still trying to hold himself from throwing a punch at Jacob who stood just few inches away from him. “How e
