"Surprised?" Star asked him with a smile."How? Why? How?" Samuel could not believe it. He couldn't believe his luck.Hadn't he been told that Tyson was a nobody? Hadn't they kept tabs on the man and made sure that he remained at the bottom? How them? How come he was the captain of the Dragon Regiment? Or could it? "Ha ha ha! I know what you guys are doing. Nice prank. How could Tyson be the captain of the Dragon Regiment? You almost got me there. That was a good one. I will give it to you," he said and then looked at Tyson. "Yo, cousin, give me my wheelchair. And I am hungry. You know what grandfather will do to you if you hurt me. Don't you. Henley you go the first time because he still considers you family. Now, be quick. Chop chop," he said as he snapped his fingers. The others looked at Tyson wondering how he could be related to such a retard and as usual, it was Carla of all the Dragons who had the guts to address their boss at such a moment. "Boss, you sure you two are rel
"What do you mean?" Shannon asked and this time, it was the lawyer who spoke."What he means is, will you be able to compensate him? This is because, you have caused a scene twice. That is emotional damage and defamation. The first time you two went to the Grayansion and he clearly told you that that is his house and not in any way relayed to the Lewis family," he started but Sarah interrupted. "Because we know that there is no way Tyson can afford such a mansion. Every one knows that he is a useless man who relies on his wife," she said and the lawyer ignored her. "Two, you came here today demanding a share of Tara Jewels. You say it's because the tender was won using the Lewis Group's name. But you two also know that your grandfather and Mr Brian Lewis refused to fund the project and the contract stated that the person who won the tender was the one who was going to be in charge of the project. After he refused to fund it, the tender was fully transferred to Mrs Gray here and she
The following day, Shannon and Sarah were there nice and early even before time. But Susan didn't want to let them in. She said that if they had been told to be there by ten, then they should wait for ten because she wasn't going to give them even a drop of water from her house, the ungrateful souls, so she called them. At exactly ten, Tyson called the soldiers at the gate and asked them to bring the trio: that is the two Lewis women and their clown of a lawyer. Mr Gresham had already arrived and given access to the house and he said that the when the bothers saw the gate open for him, they started creating a commotion asking why they aren't allowed in 'their house'."I'm worry to say Mrs Gray buy you are better off without those two," Mr Gresham said and Susan was just too glad to agree with him. "Totally try. And you should have seen the father and the son. They are all birds of the same feather," she added. "Why didn't you let us in when we arrived Susan? We were here at eight
"Sam, now that you are settled, what do you think of holding a proper wedding?" Susan asked in evening as they were relaxing after a hard day's work. "Mom and daddy are going to do a wedding? Wow! Mama, can I be your flower girl? No, no. I want to be your ring... Ring..." Tara said and then got stuck. "It's ring bearer sweetie," Susan helped her. "Yes. Mama, I will be your ring bearer. I will be wearing a purple princess dress and a tiara like Sofia the first. Isn't it mama?" She asked excited at the prospect of a wedding. "Mother, I can't decide alone. I have to talk it over with Tyson and you know it," Samantha said in exasperation and one would think that she didn't know or hadn't got used to her mother. "What do you have to talk to him about? We are all doing well now. Party is doing the job she loves, your papa is back to work and have you seen how happy he is? Your husband is rich..." she continued."And that's it? Isn't it? Before when you thought that he was poor, you ke
The investigations Starla did about the cartel that had been dealing with human trafficking really helped in getting closer and closer to the main target but they still weren't there. From that day, they had tried sending other people to cities like Chicago, New York, Atlanta and other major cities mentioned in the documents but so far, they hadn't found any major leads. All they found were branches lead by other people. What they knew for sure was that the Wasp was among the top leaders of the organization because he had all that info and according to those documents, how was the one who organised the transfer of the girls sold to them. In the capital city of each state, there was an underground lord who dealt with looking for vulnerable girls. Those who came to America in search of the American dream were the easiest targets. Tyson was a very patient man and this was what had made him rise to become the captain of the most feared force in the states. He knew how to wait and w
The following morning, Tyson bid Samantha and Tara goodbye. He told Samantha that he would be away for a few days but he didn't tell her where he was going or what he was going to do. This was because the first rule of the Regiment was to keep it a secret even to family members. This was for security purposes because they believe that the fewer people knew about it, the better. Samantha didn't question because Tyson had already told her he wasn't allowed to say and since he had promised to stay safe, she just wished him luck.On his part, he made sure to leave her and their daughter enough security. He could never leave their security to chance. He went to Skid Row by taxi and entered the barber shop. After a while, he came back a different man. He was elderly with thinning hair. He was wearing an old torn hard khaki pants with a rundown jacket that looked like it had seen better days. He then flagged down a taxi and went to the airport. He was on his way to Washington DC for rec
How was taken back to the room where he other men were waiting and he was given a chair. He was still talking jonstop but the men just ignored him. He seems to happy that he was rich and they seemed to think that if money could make him such a fool, it is best they relieved him of it. After a while, another man, who was clearly the boss came in. This was because the other rose up when they saw him. "Is he lucid enough?" The new entrant asked. "Seems so. He talks non stop," one of the men asked looking at Jason who was busy counting the money in his wallet. "Hey? How are you?" The man who had just entered asked. "Hey? I'm well. In fact, I am better than well. I am very fine," Jason said and continued with his counting. "Wanna tell me about yourself?" The man asked and Jason returned his wallet to his pants pocket and sat up straight to face the man. "Who are you and why are we here?" Jason asked seriously this time. "My name is Robert buy they all call me Bob. You can also cal
In all the missions that he had ever undertaken, Tyson had never been this lucky. He guessed that these people were lax because they thought that nobody could penetrate them. Had paid the police and who was who in authority to let them run their businesses well but now, they wouldn't even know what hit them. He started scanning all the documents in the office to his phone and as he did, they directly went to Jordan and the IT team in the headquarters. After he was done, he got out. Power was still out and he knew that Bob and the rest must be very busy trying to diagnose the problem. He snooped around for a while and then got out again. He went downstairs and to the toilet and put on Jason's suit again and he squatted at a corner of the toilet and produced something like a magnet from his pocket and twisted it. Power came back on as miraculously as it had gone out.He still continued squatting at the corner of the washrooms and there was fear in his eyes. After a while, the two
74. Afterwards The wedding games continued up to late night and by then, the elderly and the children had already left for their rooms. Samantha saw Tyson loosen up for the first time as he indulged everyone. "He rarely loosens up and so, we have to take this opportunity and punish him without the fear of any consequences," Carla told Samantha who was also enjoying herself. They partied, drank, dances, played and ate. All this time, Star had Sarah all tied up and in a corner as she watched everything. No one even remembered that she was there. Sarah had cried herself to sleep but everytime she would drift off to dream land, Star would be there to wake her up with a bucket load of ice. "You wanted to enjoy a wedding, didn't you? We thus can't let you sleep. Watch," Star would say everytime. After all were exhausted, it was time to go to sleep. Tyson would take a month off and go on a tour of the world with his daughter and his wife. They planned to stay in Africa for a two we
73. Her paradise They rode up to an island and Samantha could use several adjectives to describe it: beautiful, heavenly, paradise and such. It looked like it had been specifically prepared for them. It had, first if all, clear waters that she could see the fish floating about the natural artwork of the sea bed. The flowers looked planted though sh couldn't see how Tyson could do that. There were roses or all colours, carnations, chrysanthemums, ivies among others. Then she lifted her eyes, there, as she followed the path made by the flowers, was a huge mansion. No, it looked like a castle. The reason why she hadn't seen it was because it was hidden by a beautiful canopy of jacarandas. "It's beautiful!" She breathed and Tyson spoke in her ear, "it's yours love.""What?" Samantha span as she asked and Tyson laughed as he steadied her. Sh had forgotten that she was still wearing her heavy wedding gown and high heels. "It is my wedding present to you. I built it for this day,"
72. SexySamantha wasn't the best pianist but she could hold her own. She had done music as a side course though she hadn't gone far with it due to Sarah's teasing. Sarah made sure to ingrain it in Samantha that she had a bad voice and no one would listen to her. That had made Sam drop her dream of becoming a musician besides being a business woman. Sam looked at the key board and ran her small smooth fingers along the keys and struck one. She then composed herself and a new melody filled the room. Then she started singing:I would have said I love you but that's too simpleI thus composed this song to tell you why I love you Today, I want the sea and the sun to bear witness to my vows I want the world to know who my heart belongs toI love you because the world became beautiful since I met youI love you because my world became compete when you entered itI love you turn all my sorrows to joyI love you because you treat me like a queenI love you because up to today, I get but
71. Enjoy"Are you mad? When did Tyson tell you that he loves you? Isn't he a married man?" Susan asked in disbelief.If she hadn't come here two days ago with her daughters together with Tyson to take care of everything and get ready, she would have believed Sarah because she was so convincing. "He doesn't have to tell me. Haven't you ever realised how he looks at me? He clearly loves me and not Samantha," Sarah said and Susan looked at her well. "Sarah, dear, are you sick? Do you need a psychiatric check up?" Susan asked because that was the only way this could be explained. "What are you saying? You are the one who is mad," Sarah said and before she could add to her statement, she was on the floor. "Listen here b*tch, sorry sweetie. Don't listen to grandma. Cover your ears," Susan turned to talk to Tara who covered her ears with her small index fingers. "Listen, since I got married to the Lewis family, all you and your family have ever did was destroy my family's life. What's
70. A Good Show"I look like a Christmas tree! I can't go out like this!" Samantha complained after she saw her look on the big mirror. "Mummy, you look beautiful. You will keep that dress and give me to get married in. Okay mama?" Tara asked as she circled to see how her mama looked. She was also wearing a purple replica of her mother's dress courtesy of her grandmother. Susan was proud of her handiwork. She had worked tirelessly to make sure that Samantha looked regal, as she called it, during her wedding. Like she, Susan, had vowed, this was going to be the wedding of the century in the state of California. "Let me go out to make sure that everything is okay and that Tyson is ready and I will call Carla to bring you down. Okay Carla?" Susan said as she looked at Carla who, all this time, was still beside Samantha. "Come with me sweetie," Susan said as she took her granddaughter's hand. They walked out and Carla and Patricia started helping Sam straighten her already perfect
69. A fairly tale princess It was Tyson who proposed. He also knew that as a husband, he hadn't given Samantha the wedding she deserved. He thus proposed to her a second time this time, with a proper ring that was made at Tara Jewels without her knowledge. Her mother had made sure to invite the who was who and since many people wanted to be on the good side of Samantha and her husband, after news of what happened to the governor and his son spread out, they made sure to come in large numbers. The room preserved for the presents was full to the brim and the wedding planner had to request the hotel for an extra room. The wedding was being held in an exclusive hotel that was at an island. The only way to access it was through a boat or air. Samantha and her family had come in a helicopter provided by Tyson. By now, Samantha was already used to her husband doing things she couldn't explain. But now, knowing that he was rich and that he was the owner of all the companies she knew, s
68. Another night of... The next thing to happen as Gwen sat there was Mr Seth Miller walking into the shop in a hurry followed by a dozen men and women. "Mrs Gray, sorry to keep you waiting," he said apologetically as he came to where Samantha was seated. "Your husband called and I promise I did all I could as soon as possible and I am here now," he said as he handed Samantha the documents he was holding. "These are the ownership documents for this fashion shop. It now belongs to you. I promise you that they are all legal and it was the transfer that took us long," Seth said and Samantha was out of words. "But Seth, I know nothing about fashion!" Samantha said in a defeated voice."Don't worry ma'am, I will help. I will take care of it. Also Star is idle nowadays and she loves fashion," Carla said and at that Seth smiled. "That's taken care of then. Then, I will be seeing you Mrs Gray," Seth said as he turned to walk away but at that moment, Tyson walked in. As usual, he was i
67. I love violence "Boss, I may have done something stupid," Carla said on the phone to Tyson. She had just recorded Gwen promising to be Samantha's servant if she could prove that Samantha was far much better than her. "What did you do?" Tyson asked as he listened to her. She told Tyson all that had happened and Tyson listened diligently.If there was one person Tyson loved, it was Samantha. And if there was anything that Tyson hated, it was for someone, anyone, humiliating his Samantha. Thus, no matter the promise Carla had made, Tyson would make it happen. What Carla didn't know was that ever since he got married to Samantha, he made it his business to keep tabs on all her former friends.One thing that he noticed was that once she fell from glory, all her friends left her. They humiliated her whatever chance they got and that made her remain the shell of her firmer self. He didn't want to imagine what would have happened for those five years go was away but he had promis
66. Game "We should go shopping. You need more business suits. You are a president of three companies ma'am. You must," Carla said as she argued with Samantha. She noticed that since she started guarding Samantha, the other woman had less than ten decent clothes and she was only using those ones. Yes, she was very beautiful and any dress looked good on her but she needed more clothes. She was a boss herself and was the wife of an even bigger boss. Samantha didn't see the need of getting more clothes. But Carla had permission from her boss to do whatever she wanted with Samantha as long as it was for her good. Carla also loved Samantha because she was a good woman. She never, even for once, made Carla feel like a servant. No. Samantha always treated Carla like an equal and this made Carla treat her like her younger sister. "Carla, I have said this a thousand times and I will say it again, I don't need more clothes," Samantha said in her Samantha way. "Look here sis, I can call y
