The car pulled to a halt, and I jumped out immediately. I had virtually no time to waste therefore my actions. The only mistake I made was the fact that I didn't look right, left and center before crossing. A car almost zoomed into me clearing me of the way if I had not taken a faster leap. Jerome's words kept ringing in my head. The people who killed my grandfather were powerful enough to make an attempt on my life and it was my duty to ensure that I didn't fall victim and start crying for help later on I had no prodigy to inherit all the wealth my grandfather had gathered in his lifetime. This spurred me on as I kept on running on the empty road. Jerome had told me not to wait for him so I wasn't going to even attempt that. Doing that was only showing my foolery. My ringing phone became a menace at that point and I wanted nothing but to switch it off immediately. I had more pressing issues to attend to such as saving my neck. As soon as I crossed the first wide road, a gunshot

I ducked behind my arm still putting on my act. That seemed to be the only thing that could save me and also get me the information I was searching for. This was something that could never be downplayed no matter how much one wanted to put it. I felt like there was a need for correctional measures that didn't involve fist fighting or having a face-to-face conversation. This dealt more with having conversations that could lead to total imprisonment. I was one of those people who was also a firm believer that criminals shouldn't go scot-free. "Bring out the boy that ran into this place. I don't want to have a fight with you especially how far we have to come." He announced. The Madame refused to back down which I give her kudos for. I would have been surprised if someone who runs such a large place like this would easily bow down just because a selfish brat decided to bring up his ideas that had no efficiency whatsoever. "Get someone else on your shit, then we can have a conversati

I sat in front of a round table surrounded by various types of guns, making me a bit scared, but at the same time, I maintained my look. I wasn't supposed to care about whatever was going on between her and my enemy so to speak. Roslyn smiled and walked towards me with a small smile on her face, and I couldn't help but get annoyed at the way things were working. I had so many things on my mind and adding this to the mix was only going to stress me more than it should. The only thing I wanted to do right away was to rest for a bit, "now that you have decided to be a part of Us what is going to be our gain?" She asked me. I looked at her a bit flustered at her assumptions. Did she really think that I was going to get engaged in any conversation about Mr coker just yet without assessing the situation? Of course not. "Right, I don't understand where this is coming from but I think this is something that we can wo

"What was his response?" Roslyn and Jerome asked as soon as I returned from the cell. They were giddy and wanted to know what exactly went down between both of us but I was not going to give them that part of the gist. "Oh my goodness, who would have thought that you would suddenly want to hear what that man had to say after everything you said about him?" I challenged Jerome, taking time to think of a quick response that would not be used against me anytime soon. Jerome rolled his eyes probably thinking that I was just exaggerating but I wanted to prove what he had in mind, "We all know that you are just a beginner in getting answers from a criminal. If he said anything to you I need to confirm it because that man is a freaking liar." He defended himself, looking at Roslyn in confirmation. She nodded, returning to loading her gun. "I believe that you were able to get a favorable answer and that is exactly what I would have loved to hear.

Sauntering into the prison area with two bodyguards behind me was not an easy feat. Some of the wardens looked at me weirdly, probably thinking how this young boy was able to achieve all of this without paying a dime.That was the power of influence and I wasn't about to reveal that part of me to people. Speaking to a few honorable people had finally paid off and now I was ready to milk it for what it was worth.My next move was to ensure that no one knew my movements not even the people I claimed to be in partnership with. I have come to realize that everyone is for themselves. I made a mental note to reach out to Josh later that day to ask how my grandmother was faring. It was going to be a huge task for me to deal with but I knew that I could work it out."Please, come in, Mst. Jordan." One of the wardens said, making me smile softly. I enjoyed the fact that things were working especially the way I had envisioned it to go. My la
