A week Later.

A splash of rain splashed across the mansion, even though the sun blazed and cast a somber glow over the Peterson estate, its warm rays tempered by a gentle haze that veiled the sky.

The air was heavy with the sweet scent of blooming flowers and the distant hint of freshly cut grass.

It was the long-awaited day; the funeral ceremony of the late Mrs. Fiona Peterson, wife to the billionaire, and mother to the fastest-rising heir, Kendrick Peterson.

Mourners dressed in elegant attire, with men in tailored black suits and women in designer dresses, their faces somber and their eyes red-rimmed from tears, and laughter.

Kendrick stood out in a bespoke navy suit, his eyes gleaming with a mix of sadness and strength as he hung his hands on Emily, his sister.

Exotic cars lined the driveway, their sleek bodies glinting in the sunlight.

On the parkway, a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a Bentley Continental, and a Mercedes-Benz S-Class were among the luxury vehicles that had brought the w

    Hours later, the celebration came to an end, the faces of the celebrants filled with ecstasy as they exchanged pleasantries.Stelcy felt a surge of liveliness as different people walked up to her raining escomunuim about the taste of her food."Oh my goodness, you did absolutely well" Evelyn said as she walked past her."Thanks Evelyn, you should have trusted my cooking prowess," she replied.Evelyn smiled and moved to Kendrick who was talking to the Governor of California, Mr. Whales Ferdinand."I thank you so much for honouring my invitation and for gracing today's event" Kendrick said with a pleasant smile on his face."Mr. Kendrick your father has done so much to this state and the world at large that I should hesitate to stop by" Whales Ferdinand replied as he turned to greet the other executive that either shook hands or plants kisses on each other's cheeks."Young master, I wouldn't believe that Stelcy surprised us with such a delicious meal, I doubled it from the onset" Evelyn

    Stelcy's silence was oppressive, then suddenly, the hallway erupted with the heavy stomping of shoes. Her heart raced as seven policemen marched towards them with precision, their faces stern and unyielding. Each step echoed ominously, building tension with every approaching second.The air was suffocating, Kendrick's mind reeling with questions. But his voice was trapped, unable to escape. The only sound was the relentless pounding of footsteps, a cadence that seemed to signal the end of it all. "Here she is..arrest her immediately" Evelyn said as she pointed at Stelcy who was pacing back and forth. Ghostbumps rippled on Stelcy's face, she was innocent, she wailed as the officers held her, placing a handcuff in her hands."Was she the only person handling the meals?" One of the officers asked in a deep voice.Stelcy's eyes widened in terror as the officers closed in on her. "No, no, no! I didn't do anything!" she protested, her voice shaking. The handcuffs clicked into place,

    "Go back dear, I'll be back soon." Kendrick said as he closed the door.Outside the sprawled out mansion, Kendrick hastened towards the car, his hands swinging in the air as he moved. "Hey .. get into the car, and take me downtown,.. I'm heading somewhere very important." He said to Brown who was lingering by the side of the vehicle."Okay sir." Brown responded as he hurried to open the car door for Kendrick to enter.Kendrick moved into the car, leaning on the owner's seat, and they sped out of the compound.°Some minutes later, they arrived at the Countyside police Headquarters, and Kendrick rushed out, walking straight into the main office. An officer walked up to him and greeted him with a knowing smile. It was inspector Thud. "You're welcome sir… what brings you to my office today?" Thud asked."I'm told some ladies were brought here earlier today.. Haven't you heard of the recent happenings, or are you saying you're not aware?" Thud's eyebrows furrowed, his eyes narrowing s

    Later that day, Kendrick dropped Sophia at the Diamond Tower before turning to leave. All he needed was to hear the news of Sparrow's well-being, so he called Dr. Astrid's contact to ask about the situation of things. But as it were, she informed him that J Ryder has taken charge of his medical treatment, so she had little or nothing to do about it. When Kendrick arrived home, his father was seated in the living room, watching the news on TV, he turned to him with a saddened look on his face. "Hello, Dad." Kendrick said. "You came back right on time, Kendrick." Peterson said. Kendrick greeted his father, showing his normal courtesy of lowering his head gently. Then he took a seat beside him. "Tell me, how did it go?... Can you see one reason I…" Peterson said, but his words trailed off as he tried to explain his point.Kendrick understood where was dragging at, so he interrupted."Dad, I had to give her a chance, withstanding she's my cousin fot goodness sake." He said, raisin

    The next day met Kendrick at the crowd wall sitout, a silent and calm eatery located in the shores of Dallas. Dr. Astrid and Charles Methot sat directly opposite him, a bottle of red fruit wine, rested on the table, Methot taking sips from his champagne flute. "You mean that I should apply for Sparrow's medical treatment, Kendrick?" Astrid asked in a calm voice. "Ofcourse, that's what I meant, doctor .. I believe so much in your abilities and would want you to utilize this medium." Kendrick replied, gesturing to her. The walls of the inn seemed to be closing in on Astrid as she sat, her mind reeling with unanswered questions. She had always wanted to avoid everything that has to do with J. Ryder and his cohorts ever since he demoted her. "No.. no, no!!. That's not going to be possible, Kendrick." She protested. Shaking her head in disagreement. "What? … why that, Doctor?" Kendrick asked with a bewildered stare in his eyes. She arched her eyebrows, her eyes flashing with a hint

    Kendrick turned with a dismissive wave, "You'll have to give it a try doctor… a try could convince you to strike." He said as he shook hands with Charles before turning to walk out of the eatery. Xavier and the other guards led the way and he followed behind, they marched as guardian angels leading the fastest rising heir. Just as he entered the car, a message dropped on his phone, he opened and inspected the screen. It was a message from Emily. "A woman named Louis is here, making a complaint about you young master." Kendrick's eyes widened, "drive me back to the house immediately!" He ordered Brown and he nodded gently.Louis had arrived at the Peterson's mansion, only to be resisted fiercely by the guards at the gate, but when she stepped out of the car, yelling and gesturing. Mr. Peterson who was sitting at the balcony had called and asked that she was allowed to drive in. When she drove in, she walked straight to the balcony and greeted Mr. Peterson with a feigned smile on

    Kendrick went straight into the house, his face twisted with annoyance, it was time he showed them what he was truly made of, he knew he had to ensure that everyone who crossed his line paid through their nostrils. He had only accepted to stay with his father this long because of his health, but now his mind thought of expanding, of purchasing top end mansions in the coolest parts of the city. His feet slammed as he moved up the stairs, heading to his room. Just as he entered, he sat by the edge of his bed, and brought out his phone, then typed a message to Whales Ferdinand. "I would want you to speak with the governor of Texas, tell him that the situation about Mr. Sparrow is not as critical as the commissioner of Health puts it. .. I will be leading a team of medical experts to handle that tomorrow." His fingers swiped through the phone's screen and the message went through.He sat, anticipation lingered on his face as he awaited a response from him, his mind reeled with thought

    Evelyn nodded firmly before turning to leave the room. She had succeeded in making her father understand a point, and so she smiled her way through the lobby as she sent a maid to get Kendrick.When the maid knocked at the door, Kendrick was on a call, she lingered at the door until he asked her to come in.The door squeaked open and she walked in, her hands gesturing slowly."I'm sorry sir...your father sends for you" she said lowering her head.Kendrick did not reply, he only waved his hands with a nod that made her know that he would be with him shortly.He had fixed a meeting with a governor and would be ensuring that Astrid regains her respect and office after that, but then a thought ran in his mind."If she was the chief medical officer at the hospital where his mother was admitted...why then did she not help and stop her from dying?"His mind reeled as he stood up to leave the room, he knew there were several things he needed to find out and he was sure ready for the showdown

    “Oh my God!” Lisa squeaked, her hands flying to her mouth as she gasped.Her outburst caught everyone’s attention—Bridgette especially. 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 eyes falling between the rearview and the road… he wished he could see the video. His grip on the steering

    She gasped, finally blessed with her earnest desire, she started riding him while moaning in ecstasy.In the end,it was a high orgasmic sexual pleasure.Another man being led on by her act came to her, his boner… he slammed on her face. She wasn't pissed, she laughed maniacally and grabbed it, she spat on it_ hummed a few moans tones before taking it in her mouth. He groaned, his eyes shut.Both men were working her, she'd never had a threesome_ the feeling was thrilling. Bridget felt the heat of the moment as she watched her friend take on two men in the room.Her core heated and her insides ached, burning for similar passion. She gulped more content from the glass, each gulp with the intention of helping her get past this but it only made things worse. Her eyes squeezed as the content of the glass burned down her throat. She dropped the glass, thud! On the table… she staggered, losing herself… her eyes barely had a good visual.Ramon saw her staggering and rushed to her side to hel

    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. A smug smile crept on Freddy's face, he loved to see him beg for attention.He d

    “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

    “Don't worry_ I've got the house cell number. I have a walkie talkie with me__ and—” he searched himself, finding that he didn't miss anything. 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. She didn't expect this from her.“Hey—hey, Please, I'm sorry__ that came out wrong.” She said, holding her hand but Bridget moved and pulled her hand away.“Thanks for the trip.” She said, her tone was cold… tears flowed down her face freely as she walked away.“Bridget…” Lisa attempted to get up and go after her but the bartender held her back. “Let her be.” He said. “

    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. And his wife?”
