Annabelle felt like keeping a safe distance but she was drawn to him by his words. She had no choice but to go closer.“Tell me, are you the reason why the police got the whole area surrounded?” she asked, softly, dropping her bag on top of her car to concentrate on him.Don hesitated to tell her the truth but decided to because it wasn't looking good for him. “I don't tell people about my business but I don't see the need to hide it and your presence alone is forcing me to reveal everything, so I'll just come clean to you” Annabelle's gut blew up in exhilaration. She loved every bit of compliments Don gave her, even though Don wasn't aware of what his words were doing to her.“I'm a gangster, and I do anything to survive. I once killed a man and my involvement in drug activities has the police looking for me,” Don revealed before he paused to look at her reaction.He was surprised to see that she didn't flinch a bit in shock. He blinked profusely to check if his eyes were deceiving

Louis woke up to a beautiful morning that was clouded with mist. The weather made him think about his family, and his mood shifted to a sour, hateful feeling; it always happened whenever the thought of his family, The Hart's, crossed his mind. His guts fell sick, and he remained short-tempered throughout the day.He hated them all, especially Zick, his stepbrother, for giving in to their jealousy and taking it out on him. That anger in him got to a point that he decided to meet them and show them how successful he was without them. His decision was permanent and he planned on going there with enough proof to show them.“What if they think you came for their validation?” The thought crossed his mind after promising himself. He began having second thoughts about going, they filled his head like air in a balloon.“I don't even want to see my cousins, they are all bunch of insecure weirdos with no care except when it comes to inheritance and wealth,” He walked around in his living room w

The grip on his neck became very unyielding as he struggled to breathe. The man realized that he had been outsmarted by someone he underestimated. His neck felt like snapping in half before he properly held the handle of his weapon and swung it out like a battle axe.He swung the knife in a different direction behind his back, trying his best to make Louis let go of him. His failure to pinpoint his exact position made him thrust the tip of the knife close to his neck forcing Louis to finally let go. He quickly moved his feet forward and turned to his back, gasping for air.He was met with a deafening blow from Louis that sent him falling to the ground with a loud thud. A kick at his waist, sent him groaning in pain, followed by a punch at his chest. Louis didn't give his stalker an opportunity to recover from his hits. He sent more to his face, venting his previous anger and discomfort that the man caused him.The man still lay on the ground, dazed and injured, when he felt Louis turn

The anger in Louis' tone answered the questions in her head. The command that her master gave her would literally end Lord Kelly's company, even though Kelly was one of the richest men in their state. Without the money that Twin Tower lent him, he wouldn't have been in the discussion of the richest.She pushed herself to ask a question with her hands raised high.“Is there a problem?” Louis uttered, still fuming with the anger that reignited in his chest.“Not a problem, just wanted to know something”“Know what?” He queried her.She deliberated on whether to go through with what she had in mind.“Whatever, I should tell him anyway” Queen exclaimed in her mind “Sir, telling lord Kelly to pay up his debt would end his company” she uttered almost inaudibly.“I don't care but why do you say so”His eyes flared up for a quick response from her. It appeared that the sentence Queen had just uttered was what he actually wanted for them. Louis had already concluded that If they were brave en

The way he pulled his drawer like his life depended on it, amazed Queen. He raised the drive to show that it was still safe where it had been. The only thing he prayed for at the moment was for the drive to work well. Without wasting any of his precious time, he speedily inserted it into his laptop.The files that popped up surprised him but he breezed through most of the names on the files until he got to the one that contained the code to the safe. “YES!” Louis exclaimed in excitement and rushed back to the safe to unlock it. He pressed the right digits and it unlocked with a vibrating click. Louis pulled the handle and froze at the documents that were stacked on each other. They were all arranged with stamps and various names of companies written in different colors. His instincts pushed him to bring out all the documents while Queen shifted back quietly to avoid prying into information that was kept away from her with good intentions. Louis squatted and read the names inscribed
