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
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
"When next you badge into someone's office, always ensure that you knock!! … Is that okay?" Kendrick exclaimed in a deep tone, his voice carrying the weight of the boss that he was. But then, Eric Templar laughed hysterically. "You mean, you can give orders to a man of my kind without thinking a second time?... Are you sure that you ain't stepping on the wrong foot?" He snarled, his eyes locked onto Kendrick's. Sophia watched in awe, she had never seen Kemdrick's face crunched up like that, she was dumbfounded, she knew he was angry, as much as she wanted things to end with Templar, she never wanted Kendrick to take the matter himself, so she interfered, her voice came with a soft hum. " Can you please calm down Kendrick?... I'll handle this from here." Her eyes turned slowly and settled on Templar'. "What do you want from me?... I have told you that I've got a lot in my hands and being in a relationship would be the last thing I can think of right now." "What did you just
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
"What were you doing that you didn't rush out when I came in earlier?" She asked. Iris stuttered, her voice cracking with tension."I…I am sorry Ma, I was busy in the kitchen." "That's fine, get those boxes upstairs… What of my husband?... I know he is not in, right?" Iris's voice trembled, he couldn't explain that there was another woman upstairs, her eyes clouded with shock, she stammered."Sir.. sir, was out since morning, and he hasn't returned yet." Mrs. Alex seemed to decode the stuttering, she sat up instantly, her eyes fixed on Iris' face."What's the problem with you?... Are you alright?" She asked curiously."No.. I mean, Yes Ma, I'm fine." Iris forced a smile, her lips curved a bit, but the words were heavy, they came in a low tone. "That's fine, when you go… ensure you get me water to drink, is Khanny still working here? … . If yes, please tell him to bring me the box in my room, there's a key in the side of the bag, you can use it to unlock the room." She replied, g
Louis' eyes flickered as she marched out of the room, but then Iris held her back."Please wait Ma… you don't need to storm out that way." She turned to her, how on earth was she going to dictate how she moves? She flung her hands and Iris' hands tumbled, losing her grip, and hurried out of her room.Iris stood alone, her mind reeled with unanswered questions, afterall, the building was wide enough to contain both of them… so they could just switch to different rooms." She thought for some minutes, then laughed at herself. Louis rushed into the hallway, and as she moved down the stairs, she bumped into Alexander. He had rushed home, and upon arrival, he had hurried upstairs using the back door, his aim to find out if everything was alright before he could go in, his heart was beating heavily. " Hey Babe." He paused instantly, his words trembling quickly."Hey, you're back??. … What's happening? Why are you early today?" She asked in a curious tone, her eyes widened as she stared
Kendrick arrived home later that evening with an air of excitement, the cars drove to a stop and he stepped out, his suit hung loosely on his shoulders as he strolled towards the door, but then he turns to see his sister, Emily standing by the garden so he decides to go see what she was doing there.He walked down only to meet her picking on the allamanda bushes, bodering the heavily bloomed yellow cylindrical flowers. Emily pulled the flowers down, sticking each in her fingers, one after the other. After inspecting her actions for some minutes he cleared his throat, and she stuttered. "Hey, young master Kendrick… you returned." She said with a smile on her face. "What are you doing there dear?" Kendrick replied calmly, hugging her clos to himself. Emily laughed when he tickled her cheeks with his fingers, and said. " How was work today, bro?" "Work went well dear, … I hope you had a nice time, at home too?" Kendrick replied and she nodded gently."You should go inside,... Ther
