Kendrick paced nervously around the room, his thoughts a chaotic whirl. The heavy door creaked open, and his father walked in with a confident stride, flanked by two imposing guards. Kendrick turned to face them, his brow furrowing in curiosity.

Then she appeared.

"But" he stuttered, "How is this a surprise, Dad?" He asked, calling him out of the sitting room.

His father smiled, he had prepared Ivy Knaver to be his son's future wife, and to him this was the main time to show her off.

"That's a perfect woman for you, my son." He replied with a wide grin.

Kendrick's heart throbbed, "...but you should have discussed this with me, Dad." He mumbled.

"Really?" His father asked, his brow furrowed slightly. " Have you forgotten this lady?" He asked.

"That's not the point, Dad… at least you should have informed me of it first before arranging this."

Holding him out of the sitting room, his father whispered gently. "Son, this is a woman I had preserved for you since when you left home."

    “I will have to hurry somewhere, and get back to you, sir… I had some other important things to deal with, please.” Kendrick said as he stood up from the desk. Methot laughed, “are you saying that you will walk away from an opportunity to beat the world record?” “what?… If at all I am to settle, sir, I don’t think it will be best to do that because I want to beat the records. Marriage should focus on individual feelings as against monetary gains.” Kendrick replied. With a widened stare, Methot folded his arms, “I doubt if that’s coming from a business man like you, son… this is business, and you know it.. whether she loves you or not, shouldn’t be your concern for now.” Kendrick understood that it was that time of the season where the Upkings Awards were going to nominate the world’s richest man, and if he had to beat the current, then he should accept the proposal, adding his to his long line of investments. He chuckled slowly, “I would not have to do it that way, sir… if at all

    “Forgiveness in this regard should come from the state and not from me.” Kendrick replied, his mind burning with the pleasure of having showed Katherine that life wasn’t what she thought it was.She turned wildly to him, her lips shaking as though she should say several words, but the words weren’t coming, she only had to stare, her eyes pleasing Kendrick for mercy.The IG quickly hurried through the phone on his desk, he ran his fingers on it and at once, he ordered, “Provide that lady in my office right now.”then the response of a male voice, thundering, Yes sir.” echoed in reply.Kendrick's eyes fixed intently on the door, anticipation lingering on his face, he needed to be the first to see Peace being pushed into the office where he sat, but then he remembered it was a civil society and that there was no way she could be treated that way, so he shook off the feelings and crossed his legs.Two minutes later, just like he had thought, an officer held Peace by the arms, her hands lo

    It wasn’t up to an hour when the officer returned with another, a younger officer with her uniform neatly ironed, it fitted perfectly with her name tag glued tightly above her breast, she happened to be a senior officer and her demeanor was friendly amidst the seriousness on her face, “Yes sir!” she saluted, when her hands slammed on her tigh she turned, “you sent for me sir.” The IG seemed not to identify them by name, he preffered calling them by their ranks, “...At ease ASP, yes, I sent for you because I wanted you to provide the complaint form for Mrs, Peace to the young man sitting there.” he said, turning slightly to Kendrick. “Okay sir, that’s fine, I would have it brought to him right now.” she replied as she turned out of the office. As Kendrick sat, he kept pondering on who to hand most of his businesses to, if he failed to settle with Sophia, but then he recalled she had earlier affirmed that they were mere business partners. The ASP hurried back in with a giant blue fi

    Kendrick sat at the head of the table, his demeanor a blend of stern authority and understated compassion. The room was thick with tension, and every movement felt amplified in the confined space. Peace stood with her shoulders hunched, her expression a mask of weariness and resignation.Florence, the family lawyer, had just arrived and was now seated beside Kendrick. She examined the agreement with meticulous attention, her professional demeanor unwavering. Peace glanced at the document with a mixture of dread and hope, the words on the page an unyielding reflection of her predicament."Here," Florence said, her voice gentle yet firm as she pushed the pen towards Peace. "Please sign here. This agreement will outline that you'll work for Mr. Kendrick until the debt is settled."Peace took the pen with trembling fingers, her gaze flickering between the document and Kendrick. She could feel the weight of the room's scrutiny on her. With a shaky breath, she signed her name, the pen scrat

    After she had eaten, she stood up and walked towards the inner room, the quarters though small, had three rooms which made it spacious enough for the Rogers to occupy each, with Maverick staying out. She opened the door slightly, then paused to take a second look at the room, her eyes running through every corner, then down to the bed.“can someone tell me what is happening here? Why on earth would I have to be sharing a space when my father had a mansion as wide as this?” she yelled at the top of her voice, hurrying to the bed, she picked up the pillow and threw it in the air, “Fuck off!… fuck this life!”The sound of her yelling made Blossom and Maverick hurry into the room. Maverick’s eyes widened in fear as he pushed open the door, his heart heaving hard. He paused, staring at Peace, who was sitting on the floor with no peace of mind. He slowly walked to her, his hands reaching for her shoulders. “Peace,” he called out slowly, “What’s the matter?”Peace covering her face on the pi

    When he got to his room, he pushed open the door slightly, peeping first to see if she was doing anything implicating in there, but when it appeared like she was lowering her head into an item in hand, he opened it wider and peeped in closely, anticipation lingered on his face as he tried to recognize what she was holding. Flustered, Knaver raised her head, her eyes widened,“oh, you’re here already.” she said. Kendrick strolled in, his eyes settling on the device in her hands. Surprisingly, it was his phone,“What exactly are you doing?” he asked. Knaver stared firmly, a feigned smile showed on her face, it wasn’t what she had expected to see, but then again, she knew things of that nature were inevitable. “Who is this lady, dear?” she asked, pointing his phone at him. Kendrick’s face flushed with disappointment, he had not expected her to take it to that extent so early, he stood staring at her in the face without giving a response, he needed to see her next move.

    “I can’t tell Dad, but it’s the same woman. He has to give them their boundaries, after all, he is done with them.” Evelyn said as she walked to her phone, “let me call and inform him that they’re here looking for him,.”Peterson turned to a guard who stood by the door, his voice commanding. “Tell those people that my son is busy!”“Okay, sir,” Brandon replied as he turned towards the door.When he stepped out, he met the hungry and angry faces of Peace, flanked by Maverick who walked in front. Immediately, Maverick knelt, his palms rubbing together as he began, “...please sir… we came to ask that he forgive us.”Brandon, who was angrily glaring at him, shook his head, “Listen, young man… it is not in my place to listen to you on that… I wouldn’t know why you all decided not to allow my boss to rest, what is it again?”“it’s not so, sir.” Peace interrupted, “my daughter is dead, and as I’m talking to you, my mother is deadly ill.”Brandon narrowed, “I would ask you all to go and maybe

    Kendrick felt the shift in the atmosphere as he hurriedly changed into more casual attire, a clear sign he had no formal engagements or important meetings on his agenda. He grabbed his car keys and stepped out of his room.In the living room, Kendrick was on a phone call, a means of preventing his father from interrogating him. His father could only watch silently as Kendrick exited the house.Outside, Xavier moved quickly toward Kendrick. “Boss, are we heading out?” he asked, taking a stance with his feet apart.Kendrick paused, surveying his surroundings before giving a slight nod.“Understood, sir,” Xavier replied, turning towards the garage to prepare the vehicles.He nearly collided with Brown, the driver, who was busy polishing and admiring the fleet. “Boss is leaving now,” Xavier announced, handing Brown the key to the car Kendrick had chosen.“Oh, I thought he had just come home. Doesn’t he need a break?” Brown wondered aloud as he climbed into the red Bentley Cedar.Meanwhile

    She kept her eyes on the road as she spoke. “The rangers who found him said the fall wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been.” She replied.“His parachute helped slow down the fall, and though he sustained some injuries, he’ll be fine.” she added.“We don’t know the full extent yet,” she added. “But we will after we speak to the doctor, I haven’t spoken to him yet.”Xavier nodded, relief washing over him, but the worry never fully subsided. “Alright, let's go to him.”Quinn nodded silently as she drove them to the hospital, stepping on the brakes and pulling the car to a halt in front of the large medical center. Xavier followed her inside, his gaze lingering on the towering building before they approached the receptionist, who guided them to Kendrick’s ward.Inside, Xavier found his friend lying in the bed. Kendrick’s left leg was wrapped in bandages and suspended. He slept soundly, his chest rising and falling with each breath, as his mouth took in and exhaled air from the oxygen tube gen

    She walked away quietly and sat by the edge of her bed. Meanwhile, Lisa ushered herself in.“We have to get that video.” She said, her resolve unwavering. “I knew I would never let myself go to Ramon no matter how drunk I must've been. I want to watch it and see for myself. I want to be sure about everything that happened.” She spoke with so much conviction. Lisa knew she must've given this a lot of thought.“So what if it's true? What do we do?” Lisa said, expressing her fears.“What if it's not true–” Bridgette countered.“Even though it's not— we still have to pay him off or he'll release it and I know my job would be at stack if it gets out.” Lisa said.“Well. I don't believe I kissed Ramon or had any affair with him… I feel it was staged. They did that to blackmail us and extort money from us.” she said boldly. “I don't know for you though but I think I have a vague memory of you serving yourself two di.cks. One up your mouth and the other up in your as.s.” Bridgette said, she h

    “Nothing. It just came out wrong.” Lisa shook her head, trying to deny what was already said but it was already too late, she already heard.“No it came out right! I heard you and I want to know!” She insisted.“Fine!” Lisa snapped. “He paid for the bills. This trip was his idea because he wanted you to have a little life and stop crying over your dead husband.” She confessed.Bridgette’s hand ran over her mouth as she gasped. “I thought this was girl's time out!” She said, looking gloomy, her eyes watery.“This was all a sham?!” She realized. “You didn't do this for us.” She said, her voice low and hurt.“You only agreed to do this because Xavier paid you to.” She added, the weight of disappointment and betrayal heavy in her heart—her voice shaky.“Of course not Bridgette. I did want to come on this trip not just for the money.” Lisa said in her defense.“Oh so he did pay you.” Bridgette confirmed her suspicion. “No wonder…” she sighed. “You never had time for me. I certainly didn't

    Bridgette sat under a shade by the poolside—basking, enjoying the warm summer sun on her delicate fair skin. The view was soothing and the breezy wind made the heat less effective. “I must say__” she started. “This trip isn't as bad as I thought it would be after all.” She commented. Her face glowing, beaming with smiles and satisfaction.The trip really did help her get over all the gloominess of the mansion and how much she missed her husband—she still missed him though but the trip has helped take away her mind from some of the pain.Lisa carried her cocktail, “Cheers to healing!” She raised her glass. “Cheers!” Bridgette clicked letting out a soft giggle then she took a sip.“I missed this part of you.” Lisa smiled, gulping her wine. “I'm glad you're finally alive!” She held her hand, squeezed it a little.Bridgette smiled, “Thanks for coming through.”Lisa smiled back with her eyes… she wish she could tell her it was all Xavier's idea and not hers. She was merely a tool while X

    “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
