In the outskirts of Florentine, the majestic meeting hall of the Arctic city, Peterson sat, his face flushed with rage, “I had told you that my son was innocent of all the allegations you people brought on him.” he yelled with a rage.Methot sitting just by his side, his mind still reeling with the thoughts of where Kendrick should have been, from the last he could remember, the IG had mistakenly shot the driver who had attempted to abscond upon finding out the dead body of Louis.“That's the same thing I said to the governor when we spoke, but he still made it look like I had nothing to say or talk about.” he replied.“so what do we do right now, we do not have to sit back talking all day without taking action on this issue.” Evelyn replied, her voice laced with concern.Suddenly, one of Peterson’s guard hurried into the hall, his voice deep, “...the governor is here, sir.” he announced.Methot jumped from the chair in surprise, “I thought he said he wasn't going to attend a meeting
“Allow him… somebody stop this lady!” Methot interrupted, holding Evelyn away. She sobbed, her eyes clouded with tears as she stared at her father. The guards hurried to the rescue, trying to push her away. She protested, pacing back and forth as she hurried severally to her father. “I am so disappointed right now, Dad.” she berated. The air rippled in tension as Peterson smiled at his daughter, “are you already believing this man, daughter?” he asked. “After spending all those years with your father, can you believe what a man like Maradona…?” He stammered, his face flushed with disappointment. Flared, Evelyn sulked, “you should give me reasons why I should doubt him, then… I want you to do just that now!” she screamed. Florence got up, her voice laced with concern, “take it easy on the old man, young lady.” she said, holding her close to herself. “you don’t just have to believe everything someone says. Maradona turned with a glare, “Who brought you to this meeting woman? For
“what arrogance?… you have the guts to push down the governor trying to escape?” Caspian yelled as he landed several slaps on Maradona’s face.The guards hurried to assist the gov get to his feet, they held him up. The others rushed to the rescue, assisting the wounded man, who was breathing hardly. Evelyn, squatting over him ordered. “…hurry, call in the emergency team!… hold here tightly.” she said.“yes ma.” another guard answered as he pressed his hands on the injured part, his veins thickened.Meanwhile Kendrick stood watching the scene erupt into a chaos, several slaps landing on his uncle’s face, each echoing in the room.Provoked, the gov hurried too him, his lips clenched, “you idiot, I will ensure that you regret the day you were brought into this world!” he lands a resounding slap on Maradona’s face again. “Take this idiot out of this room and punish him to the fullest!”with clenched fists, the securities jacked him aloof, his hands tumbling in the air as he pleads, “I’m s
After they had watched the records and dark videos, everyone including Peterson, hurried to Kendrick, their voices raised in unison as they thanked and apologized to him. “I feel so sorry about all we made you go through, sir.” The gov pleaded. Delighted, Sophia hurried to him, “...sir, you’ve made us proud of you… I and the company would have a great celebration immediately after now.” Amazed, Kendrick smiled, it was the second time he heard her refer to him in that manner, “thanks dear… at least you are happy that you could verify all I told you about my brother now.” Sophia felt a sense of relief wash over her as she feigned a smile, “that’s fine, sir.” she replied. Kendrick watched her turn back to her seat, he knew that she wasn’t satisfied with the mere arrest of Maradona, he turned to Eric, who was still waiting for Kendrick’s decision. However, the tension in his mind calmed when Kendrick mentioned that he had been forgiven. With a wide smile, he knelt before him
The day was fast drawing to a close and the convoy of the governor, followed by Kendrick’s sped into the road, leaving Katherine Rogers to sort herself with the family lawyer, Florence. She staggered as she followed her closely. Her face gripped with humiliation.“you didn’t have to say all of that, there, Florence.” she said.Florence who was standing by the car, paused. Her eyes glaring at her, “where else was I to find the young man to do the handing over?”“I mean, you could do it elsewhere, maybe we would have instead invited him to a private outlet or somewhere more private than do it…” she stammered.“Enough of all this excuses, ma… I did what I felt was necessary, and by the way, it wasn’t meant to be done in private.” she replied, opening the door to the car. “please get in so I can drop you at your place, ma.”Katherine fumed, “so you drop me at my place? Is that a way of mocking me or something?” she asked, her voice laced with pity.Naturally, she had not expected Florence
“yeah,, it’s me… I bet you can remember clearly, look where you are sitting right now, looking up to me.” Rose taunted, as she hurried pass her. Katherine, still lowering her head under the heavy downpour managed to push herself from the floor, by now her clothes were dripping, she began to move towards the main road where she could find a cab that would take her back to the whole. When she struggled to get to the road, a yellow cab pulled to a stop, and she hurried into the car, her mind unsettled. She thought of where she was going to get money to settle the driver, and where she was going to move to if Kendrick decides to send her out of the house. ‘no I won’t have to move to the quarters, falling back from the top where I was to a nobody.’ she mumbled gravely as she leaned on the car seat. The driver still waiting for her to mention where she was heading so he could mention the charge for it kept observing her from the rear mirror, after he was fed up he had to break the silenc
She hurried into the cab, her mind still unsettled. The driver kept watching and observing her through the mirror till he decided to ask, “madam you seem to know the man.”shocked by the question, Katherine lowered her face. How was she going to explain to him that he was her choice for a son-in-law? And that he had murdered the young lady. She decided to keep mute and not say a word until they were in front of her gate.“I will be dropping here, driver.” she mumbled.The driver turned over and parked right in front of the gate as he waited to get his fare. ‘your payment, ma.” he asked.Katherine lowered her face, “I will call someone to bring you money when inn get inside.” she said, dropping from the car and hurrying into the compound.Suddenly, she paused, her eyes widened, “what’s happening here?” she asked the man at the gate. It was the same gate man that was on duty the night Kendrick left the house.He turned with a glare in his eyes, his lips curled in anguish, “Madam Katheri
Back in the Peterson’s mansion, the world faced a new turn as his family members gathered in wait for him at the wide sitting room, the air was cold and icy as the air-conditioner blew tirelessly, an amount of breeze due for the event of the day.It was no ordinary moment as it was the reunion of the Peterson’s dynasty, his cousins and relatives sat with anticipation lingering on their faces as they awaited his arrival.Kendrick dropped from the car and matched into the house, the new guards from the Roger’s mansion joined to build a new contract under Xavier to ensure their payment was duly under control.When he moved up the balcony, Xavier flung the door open and at once everyone hurried up, lowering their heads as he walked in.The loud sound of “You’re welcome master! Filled the air as he marched into the room.“Thanks you all.” he said, shaking hands with each of them.Evelyn hurried into the house, her eyes widening in shock when she saw Prince, she had just returned from the h
