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
"Stop it!!"... Don't do that, Rom… " Maverick yelled as he rushed to hold him, but Romsey ignored him, his anger geared towards Kendrick.Now Kendrick was even more ready, with a swift and precise motion, he unleashed a powered slap that sent Romsey tumbling backwards, his body crashing to the wall. Romsey's eyes widened as his hands flew to his burning cheeks, his eyes reddened as he stumbled out of the room defeated. The air in the room crackled with tension as Maverick's jaw dropped in an awestruck expression, he had never seen Kendrick lay his hands on anyone, so it seemed like he was dreaming.Provoked, Kendrick warned, "When next any of you tried that trash again, … I'll ensure that I teach each and everyone of you a lesson you'll never forget!' His words laced with a blend of authority and confidence."Did you do that in front of me?" Katherine Rogers exclaimed bitterly as she staggered from her seat. "No… don't Ma… Romsey was the first to try assaulting him." Maverick ple
After dropping off the items he held at hand, Kendrick turned out to meet Mrs. Alex at the central cafe. On arrival, she had already ordered drinks for the both of them."Please sit" she said, gesturing to Kendrick."Alright, thanks" Kendrick replied with a smile on his face.Mrs Alex poured out her drink, but when she asked Kendrick to do the same, he simply shook his head in disapproval."I don't take alcoholic drinks"Mrs Alex grimaced, it was her first time of seeing a man reject alcoholic drink, her husband and his hand if miscreants had always considered it a lifestyle."So...tell me, you meant that you are divorcing him?" Kendrick asked.She raised her head with a sharp stare and quickly nodded. "I can't waste my life with a man I had helped but all he did was cheat on me with another woman".Kendrick looked at her as she spoke, her eyes seemed to cloud with regrets, she kept pouring the drink and gulping every bit of it in a haste.Kendrick cleared his throat, "I would want yo
“Come right to me dear… Take away the feelings''. Alex mumbled as she jumped to the bed, her hands tightly gripped on his shirt. “Take it easy, Ma”. Kendrick exclaimed, slightly taking her hands off his shirt. Alex was drunk, she couldn't tell her left from the right, she raised her hands in the air, waving as though seeking solace. Kendrick pushed her gently to the bed, his mind reeled as he gazed at her voluptuous body, he picked up a blanket and covered her gently. “Get to sleep Ma… you’ll be good when you're awake”. He said walking towards the couch. The air in the room was cold so he wrapped himself in the warmth of the blanket. Some moment later, his phone's ringtone blared in the room, shattering the silence that enveloped them. Kendrick walked down to the table and inspected it, the call was from Evelyn. “Hello Ken, why aren't you back?” She asked. Her voice, laced with urgency and concern. We’ve been worried, you’ve never stayed out this late." Kendrick list
When Kendrick arrived home, everyone turned to him, he had truly changed overnight, it was the first time he stayed out, the first time he didn't respond to the greetings with a smile on his face.He dropped from the car and walked into the house, Emily was the first to run to him.“You're welcome young master, Kendrick… I didn't have breakfast with them… I was waiting for you to return”.Kendrick turned to her, she was smiling, anticipation lingered on her face, Kendrick's face was blank, he wasn't looking angry, and he wasn't smiling either.“Why would you have to do that?” He exclaimed in a calm tone.“I missed you, young brother”, She replied, rolling her eyes.“I did the same, dear… I’ll get back to you, okay?”He said moving up the stairs. When he entered his room, his eyes scanned as though searching for a lost item, he recalled the last words Alex muttered to him before leaving his hotel room.He walked into the wardrobe room, and emerged in a costly brown blazer, neatly fitte
"If this woman treats this man completely, then I'll be forced to promote her in my country." The governor of California said.Ryder laughed, "Let's wait to have it, then." He knew what it would mean for Astrid to receive a double promotion even across Texas, so he lowered his face to the ground, his heart pounding profusely. Two minutes later, a nurse emerged from the emergency ward, her face sullen, she walked into the next room and came out with a heavy bag filled with medical equipment, and some drugs. Kendrick hurried to her, his voice cracking. "How is it going?" He asked.With a heavy sigh, the nurse replied. " He isn't improving sir… his lungs have been heavily damaged, I fear he might not survive." Kendrick shook his head gently, and she walked back into the treatment room. Tension gripped everyone that sat in the waiting room, even the governor, he needed Sparrow alive, to be able to get a refund of the political loans he offered him while he was vying for an office s
Two hours had elapsed, and Ryder with a flare of annoyance turned to the executive governors who sat pressing thier phones. "Two hours have ticked by, and I've had enough!" Ryder exclaimed, his annoyance palpable. He turned to the executive governors, his hands gesturing emphatically. "We can't continue to waste our time here, sirs... Your Highness, you've all acknowledged it yourselves - this is a futile exercise. If that incompetent individual had nothing better to do, he'd be handling this himself, instead of dragging busy officials like us into his mess. We have pressing state affairs to attend to, and I refuse to squander any more time on this wild goose chase!"Whales Ferdinand, the governor of California, raised his head slowly, before turning to the other. "What do you think about to that, sir?" His mind reeled, he thought of the activities that were pending after his ceremonial visit to Texas. "The news should be carrying information if his absence in office." He muttere
Chaos erupted in the room as the Governor turned with a pierced gaze to Astrid. "Are you saying that you didn't know the nurses who worked in your team? ... stop making us look like we should believe everything you say." Astrid remained calm, her face settled on completing the treatment process.Methot, provoked by all that was happening, turned to his guard, the gallant Brickstone, "Go... Fetch me that lady wherever she is!." His eyes reddened with anger."Yes sir." Brickstone exclaimed as he turned out.Kendrick, who was pacing back and forth, turned to the governor, his voice laced with urgency. "I believe this has something to do with the people that are present in this room,... How about I fetch them out... There's no way she would have treated him and a nurse from nowhere walked in and planted those sedatives in his stomach.""Exactly my point!" Whales thundered."How about you come take a look at this?" Kendrick called out to the governor handing him his phone. When Whales
