Kendrick remained a calm and silent demigod to his sisters and uncles until the day to the meeting.

He didn't have an etch of worries on his face because he knew the weight of load he carried on his shoulders, ensuring he was able to prove them wrong by Wednesday.

It was like balancing a sack of gravel on his head every day at home and not being allowed to steady it with his hands.

He still saw Evelyn's cold words and his father's disapproving gestures strung together with the pressure from the top politicians who tried to push him out of the way.

He has met Sophia on several occasions, yet she acted good in his presence but later changed when he called her back at home.

And, after every meeting with some board of workers, in the companies he bought for a whopping 50 billion dollars. The group will have to call him for the reshoveling of workers.

One of the companies, the Top Bloom Corners, a strong cement production factory, had merged with the oil and gas company under

    Wednesday morning arrived like time was shortened. Kendrick had ensured he went to bed early enough if that would be his last day of sleeping in the Peterson's mansion. He woke up to the chiming ring of his phone, a notification popped up on the screen. He picked up the phone and inspected the screen carefully, "today would either mar or make you bigger." It was his reminder so he jumped out of bed, and hurried to the window, his eyes observing the outer part of the Peterson's mansion. It was no ordinary day, so the flowers were trimmed, the compound was decorated like it was Christmas Eve, yet all that lingered in his mind wasn't about the test, it was about his mother, they would also decide on when to lay her to rest. So he knew there was a lot to do today. He quickly turned into the bathroom, and in some minutes, he emerged with a bright smile. He opened the door to the wardrobe and brought out a blue tuxedo suit, it looked flashy and neat, he had ordered it for today's m

    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

    Maradona stood up, his hands tumbling in the air, "Please, don't waste our time… can you go up there and prove your points!" He exclaimed. Immediately, he said that, silence clung in the air. Kendrick turned to Florence. She stepped out with poise. But as she reached the center of the hall, an awestruck expression settled on everyone's face, their lips dropped. "Here's a more complete team." She said as she gestured at Dr. Astrid Thompson. She was present, but then she also was waiting for the right moment. She pulled her glasses, it clung lazily on her nose, and when she stepped out, silence struck Maradona, his eyes widened. Another man walking closely behind, Dr. Ben Martins? He asked himself. Who on earth would question a team as complete as that? A team with a one-time chief medical officer, A two-term, National Chairman of the Sexual Assault Examination Board? A learned lawyer flanked by several other medical offices? It left a lot of unanswered questions in th

    "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

    When Kendrick was done, it was time for him to conclude and get to the next event of the day, so he shook hands with Astrid and her team and gestured for them to return to their seats.Then he turned to the group who watched surprisingly, "Ladies and gentlemen, I want to welcome you all to a new era, as it stands…. I would first of all ask each and every one of you who signed this agreement to walk forward and redeem it!" His voice sounded firm and confident. There was a moment of silence when Maradona and the other members of the family who had pridefully signed the document stood up walking towards the podium. Kendrick could see Sparrow's hands shaking as he approached.The other sat, watching the scene unfold before their very eyes. They couldn't believe it had gone to that extent. "So they even went to the point of staking their assets to bring this man down?" One of the extended family members, Ethan asked in awe. Then shrugged his shoulders.Sparrow was the first to start, Flo

    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?"

    It was interesting turnaround of events, it was a great comeback. After what he had done to Alexander, this was the only way to humiliate him further. “Dad, go in and continue your meal, I'll be back shortly.” Kendrick said, winking at his father.“Commissioner of Police, who had such connections to involve the Commissioner with such short notice and appear with a warrant?” Mr. Peterson thought aloud.“It's Louis, Alexander new girlfriend and Kendrick's ex.” Evelyn said, eyeing Louis maliciously.“Dad, don't worry, he'll be fine. Kendrick always sorts himself.” Emily said, holding his hands reassuringly.“I want to see the girl who's causing my son harm, where is she?” Mr. Peterson bellowed, scattering his eyes around.“It is I you seek. Kendrick will suffer for whatever he's done to my boyfriend.” Louis blurted, glaring at him.“Have you got so empathy, Alexander killed my wife, his mother and you defend him outrightly. What kind of demon are you?” Mr. Peterson asked bitterly.“The

Startled, she nearly spilled water all over herself.She stared at her phone's screen with shock in her eyes.“What is it Lisa?” She asked nonchalantly, rolling her eyes. She knew how dramatic her friend could be.“I can't believe I made a video of us last night.” She said, staring at her phone excitedly.“Let me see_” Bridgette leaned closer to her in order to have a look.Ramon glanced at the rearview immediately, his heart beating fast in his chest; he almost collided with an incoming vehicle.It almost happened!“Hey watch the road!” Bridgette screamed just in time for him to avoid the truck that was coming in front of them on its own lane.“Won't you watch where you're going?” She scolded, half yelling.“I'm sorry ma'am.” He apologized.

    His man lover, Freddy, brought out the wine from the wine safe and popped it open. He giggled at the pop sound made from the cork on the wine's seal……Then poured some of its contents into two glasses. He gave Maverick one while he played with the other. He pulled himself on top of the table and sat there, his legs crossed. “A win for one is a win for all.” He smiled, raising the glass.“Cheers.” Their glasses clicked and they took a sip each. Maverick came closer, he smelt his face and smacked his butt, he giggled like a lady. Maverick finished the content of the entire glass and dropped it, —thud, on the table. He was ready for some serious business… he held him by the waist.He inhaled, tasting the lust in the air_ his nature tool, getting hardened underneath his pants.Freddy finished his own glass and dropped it gently on the table.“Come give me some.” Maverick said, his tone inviting and hoarse.

    “That's a bad idea Lisa.” Bridgette slammed, shoving it off.“Think about it_” she went on, not backing down. “Something enticing for the eyes. Appetizers for the soul and body but we aren't eating them—No.” She cajoled, raising her index finger, she waved a no in the air.“Don't tell me you don't miss the days when Kendrick shoved his rod up your folded sheets.” She flattered, giggling. Her words were convincing and impairing. She got on the pole and wrapped her flexible, feminine legs around it, her arms grabbed it and she let her legs spin her around. She swirled and twirled on it, tilted back and balanced in the air, making stunts Bridgette felt were impossible… releasing her arms and letting her legs stay on the pole while she spun in all directions. Bridgette's eyes were intently watching her every move_ she must admit, she looked really sexy and fascinating on that pole. There was nothing missing, she did it like a pro–she watched in earnest amusement.She couldn't hide the

    “Is he scared you'd try to fight him off? Why the hurry?” Kendrick asked, not as surprised as he sounded.“No idea.” Xavier shrugged, exhaling sharply. “When he saw me the other day at the mansion_ the time I went to see Bridget? He was shocked to his bones and didn't seem pleased to see me at all.” Xavier explained.“He told me right there and then that you left him in charge so… in other words he was asking me to back off.”“That's if I ever had an intention of fighting over the properties with him.” he added, sarcasm in his tone, he flipped the pages of the file in his hand.“But there's no handwritten document that states I left him in charge.” Kendrick retorted, narrowing his eyes to avoid the piercing rays of the sun. “Yes_ even so. You controlled some of the Rogers assets and he stands as an heir.” Xavier explained.“Oh!” He realized.“Gosh, it's so hot up here_ and windy too.” Kendrick muttered, away from the subject matter. The wind, playing with his hair.“He intends to set

    Hanging delicately on the high cliff of a picturesque mountain. Kendrick tugged his hands into the fine sand inside a small sac dangling behind his back. Sweat drops clustered all over his face and stopped, turned and stared back at the distance… how far he'd come. Then he aimed for another point with his hand. He grabs it and pulls himself up. He did the same again but missed, he almost slipped but found his stance on one hand before launching again to the other point where he felt was safer. He let out a victorious laugh when he succeeded. He stayed there for a while taking deep breaths.He looked at the clear sky and admired it but it wasn't long until the blinding sun rays forced him to find coverage for his exposed eyes. He narrowed his eyes to reduce the effect of the sun on them and looked away. He closed his eyes and steadied his breath. Eventually, a picture of Bridgette floods his mind. Her beauty radiates through his eyes as blinding and captivating as the sunrays.There

He continued. “Well, if I'm in trouble, be rest assured that I'll reach out to you.” he winked.Xavier wasn't content.“So this place__ where exactly are you going?” he asked, his eyebrows furrowed with worry. “In case you go missing I could get the search men to find you at that location.”“I don't know_” Kendrick shrugged. “Swanee, Monroe…” he tried to guess possible places he might go but gave up, the list was endless.“You know what they say_ Atlanta is a city in the forest. So__” He shrugged. “So, you're using the sports bike I saw outside?” Xavier asked.“Yeah— cool right?” — he smiled from cheek to cheek, like a little boy excited about balloons. “When did you learn how to ride a bike?” Xavier wondered, his eyes narrowing as curiosity filled his eyes.“Seriously_ what a question.” Kendrick face palmed himself. “I know how to do a lot

    Before Bridget could reply, the bartender leaned forward again, undeterred. “Seriously, though. If you want to ditch this place, I can help.” He winked, his confidence irritating Bridget even more.“I don’t need your suggestions,” she snapped before turning back to Lisa. “Leave me alone Bridget, I'm fine. If you really care, go cry somewhere.” She shot, regretting those words immediately they came out. “I'm so sorry!” She apologized, trying to hold her hand.She fell on her knees and rubbed both hands as she begged Bridget. “I'm sorry” she mouthed.Bridget looked at her, tears gathering in her eyes. She felt terrible.

    The clanging of metal echoed through the corridor, mingling with the blaring of a security alarm, as Maverick's uncle was escorted from his prison quarters into the visiting room. His arms and legs were shackled, the chains rattling with each step. He sank into the chair across from Maverick with a heavy sigh, his movements deliberate and his demeanor cold.His face was a mask of stone, unreadable, with no hint of emotion.“Is Kendrick dead?” His gravelly voice cut through the silence, sharp and direct.Maverick forced a nervous smile, attempting to mask his unease. “Good day, Uncle,” he greeted, his tone strained. “And yes… he’s dead.”“Then what are you waiting for?” his uncle growled, tugging at his restraints with a grimace. “Get me out of here!”“Of course. I will,” Maverick assured him, his voice smooth, though his eyes betrayed a flicker of hesitation. “As soon as I secure the assets and Kendrick’s fortune.”A flicker of approval crossed his uncle’s face. “Good.
