Twenty minutes later, Kendrick turned into the Oasis Gallery, he dropped from his car and hurried into the office. On entering, he meets Bodmas attending to a tall dark woman, “hello ma, you'll please have to excuse me for some minutes, I need to talk to him.”The woman turned, “gentleman, are you saying that what you intend to ask him is more important than what I have at hand?” she asked with a smirk on her lips.“oh, that’s quite fine, I wasn't saying that, Ma… I have an emergency, and if you wouldn't mind, then I can pay for the time I’ll use.”The lady chuckled, “I haven't heard a young man sound so calm as you do.” she said, when she stared at Kendrick in the face, her brows furrowed, “you don’t seem to be fine, is there a problem?”“Oh, not at all… thanks for the compliments.” Kendrick replied as he turned to meet Bodmas. They moved out of the store into the corridor where they could speak, “Mr, Ken...what’s the matter again.. have you come to complement me for the masterpiece
It was getting to past noon, and the day was as restless as the weather. Kendrick hurried into the car when Xavier emerged from the office, he didn’t enter the hellcat truck, he instead rushed to knock gently on the Mercedes tinted window. When the window rolled down, he lowered his head, his voice firm but gentle, “Boss… the woman in there has asked me to give this to you, instead… she didn’t get the money I took to her.”Kendrick's expression was grim as he snatched the card from Xavier and gestured for him to leave. Xavier hurried back to the truck and they zoomed off. Right in the car, Kendrick dialed Prince’s contact. It was a long time since the last time they spoke. The number went through and a deep masculine voice came alive, it was Prince, “Hello, master Ken, you so surprise me right now!” Kendrick feigned a smile, his mind reeling with unanswered questions. He knew Prince would have a lot to say, and he wasn't in for a long conversation, so he went straight to the poin
The late afternoon sun had set, casting a long shadow across the Diamond’s Tower where Kendrick was having a brief meeting with Louis, his business partner and possible Managing director. He sat his eyes locked onto a heap of books and documents on the computer screen, comparing the one to the other.“Yeah, you'll have to ensure that all the pending contracts are completed before this month comes to an end.” He said, turning to Sophia who was sitting directly opposite him.“That's fine, Boss… but I thought you talked about having a meeting and transferring some of the top ranking workers?” Sophia asked.Nodding firmly, Kendrick replied, “Oh… yeah, that’s true, but I am not sure if I would be at work anytime soon, I have a serious issue to handle at the moment and there's no way I would be able to handle that for now.” he said, his voice etched with panic.Sophia stared at him directly on the face, her mind reeling with unanswered questions, “I understand that you're always busy with w
Kendrick, now in between two police officers sat with a calmness that made his mind ponder on what would be the last stick, which he could use in breaking the camel’s back. His mind still reeling as they sped into the station.After a long rickety drive that made him hit his head against the hard irons of the police van, they turned into the station like a convoy of armies arriving the enemies camp. Kendrick dropped just after the officer that sat behind him as though he was guarding Kendrick from breaking and jumping out of the window.“bring him out, my friend walk out on your own and do not allow me drag you… I am saying this for the second time!” the officer yelled.Kendrick got down from the car with a composure that was out of normal, what beautified the evening was the glittering view of his expensive cars rolling behind the police vehicles that brought him.When he moved slowly, he heard a deep voice yell behind him. “come on man, we’ve treated you pretty nice, but we can get
It wasn’t the air alone that seized, there was a deep silence in the darkened room after Alexander had turned and thrusted deeply in her from behind, just like he did on the first get together at the Rogers mansion, the difference here was that now it went in with a force, his hands clung to her hair as he pushed her over the open window.“Don’t do this to… Alexander… please.”Louis kept pleading, her voice laced with pains. Provoked, Alexander thrusted deeper, his fists clenched hardly on her hair, “shut your mouth, if it were him, you wouldn’t say that… this is my child and I have right over your body!” He snarled. Louis was weak, she could no longer struggle, she had bruised her face severally against the hard wall, blood running through her forehead. Alex kept on and on, until he was done, he breathed deeply like a satisfied animal and pushed her to the floor, she fell and at once hit her stomach on the floor, her voice tearing in agony, “I curse the day I met you Alex… I..” sh
The rain hammered down relentlessly, drumming against the taxi’s windshield as it drove through the streets.Inside the cab, Alexander sat rigidly in the backseat, his mind racing with frantic thoughts. The driver, oblivious to the turmoil in his mind, made casual conversation, his eyes occasionally darting to the rearview mirror."Did you just hear that news?" the driver asked, breaking the silence. "The states has turned into something else, imagine yesterday they talked about the kidnapping, today they've tagged it to a philanthropist"Alexander stiffened, his heart skipping a beat at the mention of kidnapping. He forced himself to maintain a calm demeanour, leaning slightly forward. "I haven’t been following the news lately, but that's just how the country is."The driver glanced at him through the mirror, seemingly eager to chat. "It’s huge! The police are all over the city with checkpoints and roadblocks. They’re on high alert, and everyone’s talking about it, I'm aware."Alexan
The next moment revealed the news of Kendrick being involved in a kidnap scandal, Charles Methot was first to pick interest in it, he took it like a daunting task to get to him at all cost. He got up from his bed, pushing the curvy naked Linda Red away.“I need to get across to him, this men will always go to their worse to bring down this man!” He said, hurrying to the wardrobe to get some clothes for his bare skin.Amazed by the urgency in his movement and the tone he used, Linda sat on the bed staring at him, “do you mean that you’re gonna leave me right in this hotel just to go see a man you’re not connected with?”Methot turned, a smile playing on his lips, “if you know who that man is, then you wouldn’t be sitting on that bed saying all you’re saying right now.” He replied as he hurriedly picked his key and moved out of the hotel room.“Meth… Methot.” Linda yelled as she grabbed the duvet, covering it above her breasts, her lips curved in anger. “fuck off… how long would he keep
Some other officers marched into the station that very minute, dragging in a man on a brown shirt, his clothes damp and wet. He kept mumbling and expressing himself audibly, "I said, I can take you to the exact point where I picked him… I swear, I had no idea." He kept pleading. Methot gazed at the officers yelling at him and pushing him to a chair by the side of the room."sit down there, and don't move an inch." One of the officers commanded, walking into the office opposite.Methot turned to officer Bennett, "did you go ask why they brought that man?" He asked, pointing at the man who was now lowering his head to the ground. Bennett moved a step, then he paused, "they'll get information from him, so there's no need to go ask about that, just sit there and face your reasons for being here." Methot nodded, he decided not to say a word than demand to speak with Kendrick until he was out of there. He observed the movements of the officers who hurried in and out, shaking hands with
