Mr. Peterson continued, "May that same history vindicate the just amongst us." A loud clap of hands errupted in the hall, as he invited Stelcy up the podium to narrate to them what had transpired that fateful night. Stelcy stood up with a bold and calculated step, her white gown clung to her body, she looked beautiful and calm, but her heart heaved gently. "Good morning ladies and gentlemen, I stand on the existing protocol…" her tone was calm, her words flowed gracefully through the air as she explained. The most shocking part of it was when she mentioned that she was manhandled by Kendrick.Everyone's eyes turned in search of where he was sitting, he lowered his eyes, inspecting his wrist watch, the room was cold, and the air made him froze."Dr. Astrid should be here… but why has she not arrived, too? He muttered to himself as he sat. His eyes turned slowly, his sisters were looking at him, their gaze fixed coldly. The doors were heavily guarded, officers in different uniforms

"I'm sorry … .I… I didn't intend to do this young master." Stelcy's voice blared in the air, causing a hint of pandemonium to set in the hall. Sophia turned to her with an angry tone, she yelled. "Can you get down the podium, Ma… You should be allowed to rot in jail for conspiracy and dent of reputation… How could you accept to do such a thing like that?" She scowled. Kendrick's mind quicked when he saw the shame that settled on Mr. Sparrow's face, he smiled a bit when he lowered his head to the ground. "I can't believe this, I'm so disappointed!! He yelled at Elvis and Alexander, who were standing by the other side of the podium, ready for Kendrick's final decision on what would be their fate. Kendrick turned to Dr. Astrid and Ben Martins, and shook hands with them, directing them to return to their seats. Surprise pitched on the faces of the Petersons, they had almost believed that Kendrick was guilty, but for the presence of Mr. Ben Martin and the footage. Crowther q

Inside the Peterson's mansion, Kendrick had earned his place and respect. Immediately he stepped into the house, his phone blared aggressively.Kendrick's hand instinctively reached for his phone, his mind racing with anticipation. But as he gazed at the caller ID, his curiosity turned to confusion. Eric Templar - a name that stirred a faint memory, yet remained elusive. His hesitation was momentary, and he answered with a calm, "Hello?" he said in a calm tone, but then a sharp yell of a deep male voice made him stutter. "I wouldn't want to linger around,... I called to warn you, to stay away from her!.. I won't say this again, stay… stay away from her if you like your life." Kemdrick's eyes widened, he couldn't imagine the weight of words he used. His thoughts raced with questions, "Stay away from her?" He asked himself, but the last time he remembered, Sophia was just his business partner, so he replied in a calm tone."Who is this and who are you asking me to stay away from?"

He had conquered one and here was another, Eric Templar. It was difficult not to know the Templars especially as a business man in the state dealing with millions everyday. The Templar family was a complicated one and in all thy doings always seek to be in their favour. Very interesting now, he had incurred the heir to the Templar dynasty's wrath and might have to pay for it.It was a drug cartel that his it heinous crimes under the sale of automobiles and enormous machines. They transported their goods through this car in and out of the country through this machines, vehicles and equipments and of course they had some help. The Templar family one in every four government official of the state and financially aided the campaigns of past and present officers so the customs and immigration were under his leadership.They wielded enough power to light up a country, they were in charge. Kendrick knew one policeman in which he instructed to watch his family house and protect his family me

Sophia seemed to have noticed the sudden change on his face, so she asked quickly."What's that?" Her eyes furrowed slightly.Kendrick waved gently, "it's nothing Sophia." "But at one point, you seemed disturbed." Sophia pressed on.Kendrick shook his head gently, then raised his eyes slowly. "It's not a serious issue… .just a notification from my friend, Charles, telling me that Alex is released, and his father, J Ryder is also released." Sophia's jaw dropped, she couldn't imagine that after they had reported Alex of being corrupt, he was still released? Confusion clouded her eyes. "That's not possible,... Released?... after all he did?" She exclaimed surprisingly.Kemdrick's tone was calm, he nodded. "Ofcourse, but again… that's nothing. His wife is pregnant, … I think that should be the reason for the decision." Sophia's eyes rolled, "What does that have to do with locking up a man as corrupt as those men? … That shouldn't be a valid excuse." She sighed loudly. " At least, he
