The sitting room seemed to choke with tension, Kendrick stood up instantly and turned to leave."I think I'm done here and would like to take my leave! He stuttered as he got up, but Louis yelled. " Are you just walking away, can't you see that your foolishness has caused me a lot already? She blurted. "But you can't push the blames to him, Louis, I feel you should blame yourself too for having decided to divorce him" Florence replied sharply, and then the sound of the door closing echoed in the room."My daughter regrets nothing about divorcing that young man, She's found a better man and we are certainly okay with it" Peace Churchill interrupted instantly, pointing at Kendrick who was already out of the sitting room. "That's fine… then!, I'll have to take my leave, too… please ensure to be in the civil records office this week" Florence said as she stood up to leave too. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°Outside the compound, Kendrick could see a haul of policemen moving around the road. It was
Certainly, Xavier had informed the police and the roads came alive with roadblocks at every checkpoint, but how was it possible that the assassins were still on the move? Stelcy paced back and forth as she muttered to herself, questions that seemed rhetorical. "I think I've been able to pinpoint a particular location" Santos replied instantly. "T…that's perfect! Send me the signal immediately!" Stelcy ordered as she rushed back to Xavier, her breath cutting as she spoke. "Ensure that your GPS receiver is on, Santos is sending in the location right away!" Her words seemed to carry the weight of the situation. Her phone pressed to her ear, her expression suddenly changed from concern to shock. "What?! Oh my god, are you sure?!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling. Immediately, the call dropped off, Stelcy was truly disappointed. "Santos, Santos!" She called out but was greeted with silence. She hissed, then tried to reconnect the call, her fingers running over the ph
"You never told me about your mother's health!!" Mr. Peterson yelled from the inside but Kendrick was already out. Immediately, his eyes fixed on four policemen conversing with Xavier and Stelcy, they gestured as they talked. "Hey!... is everything alright? Kendrick asked as he walked closer to them. A stunned Stelcy turned back instantly, staring at Kim as he drew closer, "Good morning young master Kendrick… " Morning to you, Ma" Kendrick replied coldly, she didn't wait for him to ask a question when she drew him away from the officers a bit and started to narrate to him, her voice sounding low almost like a whisper. "... I. I just received information from the police that the device was found!" She started with the positive info before getting to the excuses. Kendrick's heart leaped, he smiled a bit and nodded, then replied"How about Brown? Have they traced his whereabouts?" Stelcy paused a bit, then mumbled a reply, "The device was found with a little boy of 12, accordin
° Dr. Astrid's eyes locked onto Kendrick's, her expression a mix of empathy and urgency as she sprang from her seat; "I'll be with you shortly, please," she said, her voice soft but firm. But Kendrick was beyond consolation. The news had struck him like a thunderbolt, leaving him bitter. Without a word, he sprang from his seat, his eyes flickering with a mix of anger and grief. He marched out of the room, the fluorescent lights in the hospital corridor flickering in synchrony with his racing pulse. His gaze darted towards a nurse pushing a gurney down the hall, the direction of the mortuary area, where his mother's lifeless body lay. A surge of anger and grief coursed through his veins, his eyes blazing with a fierce intensity. "F*ck!! Alexander, you've done the worst!" he exclaimed, slamming his fists onto the wall. The outburst echoed through the corridor, drawing the attention of the hospital staff. Storming into the receptionist room, Kendrick barked orders at Xavie
Alex and the Rogers, though wealthy and heavily connected, had never set their eyes on a vehicle made entirely of gold. Louis watched in astonishment as she turned to Alexander.. "Now that's the real deal, dear. She smiled a bit, then continued. When I give birth to your son, hope you'll get me a car as beautiful as that?" Alexander chuckled, he knew he would have to break the bank to get such a car, so he mumbled a reply. " That's expensive, yunno" "Are you saying that I don't deserve an expensive car?" "No that's not what I meant dear.. don't panic, I'll treat you just well." He replied hastily as he rolled his fingers on his beard. Before Alex could say another word, the luxury cars came to a halt, heavily uniformed men emerged from the vehicles, their movements swift and synchronized. A guard hastened to the driver's door and knocked on the tinted window, which slowly rolled down to reveal the occupant. Louis and Katherine Rogers' eyes were fixed on the car, t
Kendrick walked towards her, picked the documents he needed, and turned to leave, but Florence, shocked by the show of superiority he had displayed, called him back. "Excuse me, sir." And Kendrick paused instantly, turning to her with a blank stare."I'm sorry if I made you feel any less relevant the other day," but to her surprise, Kendrick smiled graciously and replied. "It's not an issue, Ma. As he turned towards the door. Xavier rushed and opened the door, while the other guards followed closely behind him. He was slowly taking over and Xavier was becoming proud of him, but one thing lingered in his mind, he had not informed his Dad of his mother's demise, and how would she feel when told of it? He entered the car, turned to Stelcy who sat just beside him and smiled a bit, then spoke softly."I hope you're fine, Ma", and Stelcy mumbled a reply, "All's good sir, thanks for taking action today, I'm sure he must have learned his lessons. She then quickly turned her face to t
STELCY'S POV Charles Methot, a skilled and powerful billionaire, a 60-year-old loyalist to Mr. Peterson. Kendrick's face etched with confusion, "Director of Works?" Yes, as the title implies, Methot had handled several businesses for Mr. Peterson without any excuse or complaint, and that earned him the position of a competent director.Kendrick stood up, nodded gently, and moved straight to his room, in preparation for the business of the day. Moments later, he is seen in a light blue jean and a sparkling white T-shirt, the sparkle reflecting on his face reminds me often that his mom had always said; "When my boy Kendrick is back, he'll make us proud again!"... And that was after his older brother had passed on.I sat in the lobby staring at him till he walked out, and as it has always been, I followed him where he leads", so I stood up and followed behind quickly."Greetings, young master." I greeted him immediately and we stepped outside. Out here, the cars sparkled in the su
Charles cleared his throat and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, then turned to Kendrick again; "I'm really glad that your father linked you to me, he called me on the phone some days ago and told me of your mother's demise, I'm truly sorry for your loss." His eyes narrowed a bit, then Kendrick shook his head gently and replied; "It's all fine, sir." "I'm sure your dad wants the best for you, and that's why he has prepared you just early enough… You know, in our days, It wasn't so." He added. "You've said it all sir, and I won't let him down.. Kendrick said, "So tell me more about the deal." He asked. " Yeah, it's a grand mansion, going on Auction with a starting price bid of five hundred million dollars, it belonged to an oil magnet in Houston, Texas who just kicked the bucket lately." Mr. Charles replied, his voice sounding confident, he seemed to gesture at every word he said."That's a big one, there! Kendrick exclaimed, his eyes widening in astonishment as he fixed a di
