She knocked on the door to Mrs. Katherine's room and opened gently. Her eyes scanned the sprawled-out bedroom, a king-sized bed placed in the middle of the room, that was where Old Rogers usually folded himself into whenever he called to advise them, then it turned to Katherine Rogers who was sitting on the chair close to the dressing mirror. "Is there a problem, dear?" Katherine asked. Peace Stumbled into the room, her eyes swollen and reddened."Yes… Yes, there's a problem, Mum." She said, her voice trailing off as she spoke. Katherine quickly dropped the comb she held in her hands and turned to her with a sharp gaze that seemed to piece through and read the contents of her heart."Come sit here, dear.. come." She called out, gesturing to Peace and she reluctantly walked towards her."Now tell me what is it?" She asked. After Peace explained what had happened some minutes ago with the unknown Bolton, Katherine's face flushed with disappointment."If that letter is authentic an
The day was drawing to an eventful close, and Kendrick had returned home, his nerves still reeling from the shockwave that had rocked his workplace. The echoes of the day's events still lingered, refusing to be silenced. "His company suspended? his contract terminated?"... Kendrick's thoughts seethed with disbelief as he stormed into the living room, dismissing the chorus of greetings from the guards outside with a curt nod, their words ricocheting off him like stray bullets.Just as he opened the door, a voice announced loudly, "Dad, here he is… he is back just on time!" It was Evelyn, she exclaimed as he walked into the room. Mr. Peterson's eyes raised gently, then settled on Kendrick with a blank stare. Kendrick greeting him as he turned towards the stairs, his voice deep and calm. "Kendrick!!... What's the message I received today about? … Huh… what's it about?" Peterson asked, his eyes locked onto Kendrick's who had halted and turned to him. "What exactly are you talking
"Are you still there?..." He asked, and Sparrow's voice came alive with a small crackling. "Go on, I'm listening to you." Sparrow replied. Peterson cleared his throat, then said, "you have nothing to say, Sparrow… that's his conpany, and he has the right to handle it the way it pleases him… The sky is wide enough brother, and you can soar in another direction instead of jealousing an eagle who is already on flight." Sparrow calculated the words, he gave a deep sigh, then replied in a hard tone. "Wasn't he greedy to get those companies from Maradona and I? … why didn't you tell him to let go of it?." Peterson's eyes flickered, he shook his head and with a louder voice, he replied. "... You and Maradona had staked your assets… and the boy won. What was I supposed to do? Stop him? … you and I know that it is not done that way." Sparrows voice lowered, he could feel the pain of defeat, he stammered. "... He… he never defeated, if he did, then why is he kicked out of h
"Can we go out young master?... You'll definitely get something more delicious to eat out there, please." Emily pleaded.Kendrick stood up reluctantly from the chair, his feet making a scrinch sound on the floor."That's fine, then." He replied and turned to Evelyn who was resting her head on the sofa and asked. "Aren't you coming with us?" Evelyn hesitated for some minutes before jumping from the chair. "Where are you two going?" "He was to take me out today, so I believe we're going to anywhere nice, to have fun." Emily replied with a calm smile, while Evelyn sighed gently.The two spent another 10 minutes exchanging words, so Kendrick folded his arms as he watched them, Emily said all she had to say with a smile on her face, then she turned towards the exit door without looking back. "I'll be coming then, I hope you would buy me something very expensive out there?" Evelyn asked, then rushed to follow him.Kendrick turned with a shocking gaze, he couldn't believe she was going
Emily kept turning to observe the pearl and diamond jeweleries that adorned a part of the mall."Look, see that bro." She said, pointing at a set of diamond necklaces, that shimmered in a small glass box.It dangled back and forth, giving sparkling reflections. Evelyn turned and suddenly, her eyes sparkled. "That's beautiful! She exclaimed as she turned to it. "I need that particular necklace, bro… please, get it for me, it would fit the dress I want to use for mum's funeral." Emily said. Kendrick nodded gently and turned with her to the glassware, immediately he got to it, his eyes widened at the price tag that clung to the box. "That's so expensive, Emily." He said as she obsevered it, a whooping 5million doallars for a necklace?" He exclaimed. He turned to Evelyn who was patting Emily on the shoulders.Evelyn smirked, "Yeah, it's the most expensive necklace here, I guess." She said as she bent to check the rest of it. Kendrick shook his head gently and replied, "let's get s
"If that's what it is, sir… then you'll have to speak with our manager… no one has ever made such a purchase here to that amount here." The salesgirl said in a calm and gentle tone. Keins Reels laughed sarcastically, he turned to his girlfriend who was watching Kendrick in anticipation of what was to happen. "That's actually fine by me." Kendrick said."But that would be my sister's face if you're to put it out there." He said, pointing to Emily, and she grinned. The salesgirl rushed to the receptionist's table, and pressed a bell, informing the manager of the purchase they were about to have.The manager was astonished, Kendrick could hear her voice from the loudspeaker, it was loud enough that even Reels could hear her say, "...Please I'm coming to meet him." Shocked rippled through Keins Reel's eyes when he saw the manager rush out towards Kendrick "You're welcome, sir… I'm very sorry she allowed you to stand, can you follow me to my office please." She pleaded as she beckon
Soon, they arrived home and the giant gates paved way to the glittering Benz, the guards drove in first, then Kendrick followed behind. Like a march of armies, the guards rushed to open the car door for Kendrick and his sisters. As he alighted from the car, his eyes scanned the compound, then settled on Peace Churchill and Maverick sitting on the veranda, they quickly stood up when they saw Kendrick drop from the car. Kendrick strolled in their direction and asked. "What are you doing here, and how did you find this place?" Peace clapped her hands and laughed. "You thought it was a hidden place?... You thought we wouldn't know where you live?" Kendrick had a long day, he turned to see Emily and Evelyn walk into the house. "I am not in for this drama today, can you go ahead and say what you want here?" He asked, but Peace kept talking out of point. "You thought she wouldn't make it?... I came to inform you that she made it… she has a new house and a new ride." She
As Kendrick trudged upstairs, his mind was a whirl of conflicting emotions. The events of the day had left him weary, yet he knew rest would not come easily. His sister, Evelyn, was already tailing him with her rapid-fire questions, her curiosity as relentless as ever. "Kendrick, wait!" Evelyn called, her footsteps echoing up the grand staircase. "Do you really have a child on the way? And you didn't tell any of us?" Kendrick sighed, rubbing his temples. "Evelyn, it's not what you think," he replied, trying to keep his voice calm. "There are a lot of things happening that you don't know about." Evelyn's eyes were wide with a mixture of shock and excitement. "But is it true? Are you going to be a father?" Kendrick stopped at the landing, turning to face her. "Evelyn, I need you to trust me on this. There's a lot more to the story than what Peace said. I'll explain everything in due time, but right now, I have something important to do." Evelyn crossed her arms, a stubborn look
