Isaac could not hide his excitement when he heard about the news of Evan been arrested and will be charged to court soon. He sat patiently at the waiting room right at the precinct, a wide smile on his lips once he saw Evan walked in.He immediately recalled vividly the day he confronted Evan when he tried to take away his woman and he sent out his guards to beat him up. Isaac was beaten beyond recognition and even during those times, he usually thought of Evan as someone who was so powerful and he could never get to him.But after getting married to Evelyn, he realized that Evan was an ordinary man just like anyone else out there and he would be able to deal with him. That was when he secretly started planning his revenge.“Did you come here to mock me?” Evan asked while he took the seat opposite Isaac. “I must say Evan, this uniform does suit you so much” Isaac teased before he giggled so loudly.“You do not have to be so happy because soon I will be out of here and once I do, I will
Isaac drove the car as fast as he could back home and when he arrived back home, Evelyn was no doubt surprised to see him. “Zik, you are back this early, is everything alright?”“Sure it is, there was something that I needed to discuss with you and where is baby Jake?” He asked with his eyes searching around for the child until they landed at his crib where he rushed over.A wide smile immediately filled Isaac's lips seeing his bundle of joy while he went ahead to play with him and after a while, Isaac finally turn to Evelyn. “Eve there is something regarding the company that I needed to talk to you about. Regarding the loan that you collected from the bank and the effort to pay it back, I was thinking, how about we sell off one of our subsidiaries”“What! We can't do that, all the subsidiaries do have their functions”“Yes they do, but there are some of them that we can survive without untill we are able to stand back on our feet else this company might lose it foot”He suggested as
Isaac glanced at the screen of his phone and realized that it was Noah on the other end. “Hello Noah!”“Boss! I just got an information right now that Robert is about leaving the country through a shipment, you should hurry now or we might never get the opportunity to catch up with him”“That is strange, for someone like him, I thought that he was going to settle his score wit me first before leaving, if he is leaving now, then that means that there is definitely something wrong”“Then what do you suggest that we do at a moment like this?”“Mobilize the boys, but first we need to o find out his routine and how many of his men that are on the ship with him, the last thing that we need is making another mistake like the previous time. We lost a lot of men and I do not want that to repeat itself”“Alright Boss, I will work on that and get back to you” Noah responded before the call ended. Isaac hurried to his office and immediately sent for his lawyer. His lawyer who was told that this w
Robert began pacing around as sweat began to drip from his forehead, no doubt that he was nervous and was trying all his possible best not to let it show. “You are bluffing Isaac, there has never been any fraudulent case between the senator and I. You have a record on and you are hoping to see me bluff out a crime that I did not commit, I am sorry, but it is not going to happen. Not today, I am not going to fall for your tricks!”He exclaimed but Isaac signals to one of his men who handed out a file to Robert. Robert felt a rush of adrenaline as soon as he glanced through the file and he knew for a certain that he had lost.Cold shiver ran down his spine, and for the first time ever, Isaac could see the fear in his eyes. The color in his eyes immediately drained away while he stared at the file containing all the illegal deed that he had done with Senator Gilbert which he thought was safe, it was all thanks to Lilian that Isaac could get his hands on them and now it only gave Isaac mo
Isaac sighed for the umpteen times, rubbing both of his temples in a multiple times with the tips of his fingers —eight precisely.His mind had wandered very far away from his body, he seem not to be in his right sense at the moment and his eyes were equally teary too.Sitting and burying his head in between his thigh at the last seat on the train he boarded with no where in particular in his mind, he would just drop at any last station the train stop.He was able to pay for his board since the train is the cheapest transportation he could afford, the money he had on him can't even be enough to pay for a public bus.That's only explained how much distressed and wretched he is, having nothing to call his own —not even a bicycle pedal in his name.Lately, life have become more difficult and challenging for him. Right before his eyes, he had watched his world crumbling down before him at a sudden split of seconds.At that moment, he could not believe it because he felt it was a dream but
Isaac's heart anxiously raced faster, hoping the call he had received was from his supposed to be wife but mere checking at the screen of the phone, his face was squeezed tightly in a deep frown —it was a call from an anonymous network line."Who could it be...?" He wondered aloud, contemplating on whether to pick the call or not. He tried thinking hard to any situation that might have yielded this strange call but couldn't think of any.The only person he was expecting a call from seems not to be the one, who is this then?Rather than picking the call to feed his curiosity, he watched the call came to an abrupt stop and wanting to return the phone back in to his shirt's pocket —another call came in from the same line again.Isaac hissed. "What business do I have with this caller, eh?" He asked himself, still not wanting to take the call. He felt he's too occupied to be disturbed by some random caller.So much had happened to him in just one day, he needed no disturb, especially not w
"You came later than expected, Mr. Isaac." The doctor said to him, immediately he entered his office and he recognized the voice with out any doubt.He was the one, who gave him a call earlier, the same caller he had yelled angrily at and called names!Isaac heaved out a heavy sigh, lowing his head and unable to meet the doctor's gaze. He felt really bad about his attitude earlier, he wished he was a little nicer to him on the phone.But then, he could only wish since the deed is already done. He would just play along like all is well even if his mind seems really unsettled for his unpleasant act."Please, have a seat." Isaac was politely offered a seat from the doctor, who also coupled his words with a hand gesture. Reluctantly, he did as told, taking one of the seats before the doctor's desk.He flashed the doctor an apologetic stare, not for his rude act earlier but for arriving at the hospital later than expected, just as the doctor had claimed. "I'm sorry for being late, I could
Isaac has never been so distressed since his years of existence, that particular day was a day to remember for him. His mother needed to be treated urgently but he had no money on him to pay.No jobs, no money and not even a certificate to own in his name. The only way out to his worries was lending money to pay the doctor but from who or where do he lend such huge amount of money from?He is still yet to pay up his previous debt of a twenty thousand dollars, taking another loan would only make things much more uncomfortable and worst?That is, if any one is planning on lending him yet another loan. Who has such huge enough money to give out as loan, especially to guy with no source of income like him?The thought of not being able to meet up with the medical bills and his previous debt not yet paid, made his heart sink in his chest and he felt it dropped inside his stomach.Things was only able to grow from bad to worst for him in just a day with no way out of it —or maybe he is the
