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
The new day dawned with a vibrant energy, Kendrick sprang out of bed feeling revitalized and fit for the day. He had set the alarm, a perfect timing for his pending meeting with his board of MDs.The alarm blared to life, shattering the silence that accompanied the morning, with a loud "Krrrriiing sound" that echoed through the room.He rubbed his eyes gently, first, he picked up his device and typed a message to his secretary, informing him of the venue for the meeting, the message went across and a tick reflected to show that it was delivered.He strolled into the bathroom, carrying out his morning rituals of bathing and doing down for breakfast, then returned to his room to dress up for the business of the day. In ten minutes, he was already set, so he emerged from his room, his shiny brown leather shoes clicking majestically on the marble floor leaving a spark of class.The sounds of greetings resonated and returned with waves and friendly glances as he opened the door, stepped o
"How the hell would he do such a thing to me?... Is it because he knows me?... Has he lost his respect or something?" Peace scowled as she walked outside the hall.She stood for some minutes and decided to storm into the hall again, to make Kendrick know that she wasn't mincing words, she wouldn't stand out there all that long. But as she moved closer to the door, a guard blocked the entrance. "The boss had informed me to ensure that you wait here till the meeting was over, since you weren't prepared for it." The man's voice was calm, but then Peace flared up. "What insolence, do you know who I am?... Can you tell how many years I've worked with the company?... Or are you thinking that I'll fear you for any reason?" She scowled.The guard made no move, but only ensured that she wasn't entering the hall. "Can you be calm until the boss is out, or until he advises you to go in? Another guard who mouthed the other side of the door added. But Peace turned to him with a redened eye,
