“Honey, honey,” Stella rushed into the mansion, sweating and breathing heavily. She almost bumped into Damien in the lobby.He had an inexpressive expression.“Honey, we are in trouble.” She panicked.He darted his eyes at her for a while before sighing.“Trouble? What have you done this time?” He asked, walking to the living room.“I didn’t cause anything, it's just that - - the thing is that - - you see, the problem is - -” She stuttered, unable to come clean to her husband. She was ashamed to tell him that she borrowed money from loan sharks and also afraid that he might make jest of her or insult her.“If you don’t have anything to say, then don’t disturb my peace because I’m in a hurry.” He sneered disgustingly.She was annoyed but she was in no position to get angry with him because he was her only hope. He had money. He had funds somewhere so he could help elevate her family since they needed it.“You see, I borrowed some funds from a loan shark and right now, the man is on my
“I’m here to - -” Stella hadn’t finished her statement when she saw some nurses rolling the hospital bed away from the jail area.Her eyes spotted someone familiar on the bed thus she left the front desk and rushed over to the nurses.“Wait.” She held the edge of the bed and the nurses stopped, wondering what was wrong with her.It was an emergency case.“Mum?” Her eyes dropped dead and became lifeless. “What happened to my mother?” She questioned angrily, staring at the nurses and one officer who was following them. “Did you forcefully kill my mother or something? What happened to my mother?” Her voice could be heard in the entire precinct as she was sounding like an insane pregnant woman.“Madam Stella, be calm. Your mother only fainted.” The officer explained to her rashly.“Only fainted? Did you call that only? How many times have you beaten her up to confess what she hasn't done?” She transferred her losses and anger at him, staring at him in disgust.The officer shook his head.
“There is a problem, boss,” Harold said, his hands sweating as he flashed his laptop screen at Damien’s face. Damien looked at the laptop seriously.“How come? Who bought it and cleared our debt?” His brows furrowed.“The investor's status is incognito and can’t be spotted.” Harold sighed heavily, rubbing his forehead.“That’s good. We got our funds back and cornered Stella perfectly.” He began. “Then, we have to take their mansion and last properties to clear the remaining debts.” He said conclusively and Harold nodded.Madam Harriet and Stella walked into Mandela Hospital with confident strides, after bailing herself out of jail, she couldn’t wait to claim her hospital and start proceeding with her plans.“What’s my missed schedule?” Madam Harriet asked, dancing her fingers on the counter.“Schedule? Who are you please?” The receptionist at the front desk questioned while batting her lashes.“You - -” That was when it dawned on them that the entire nurse at the front desk had been c

As a compensation and prize for serving the nation steadfastly, each president in each country contributed and awarded him with over $200,000 trillion excluding those with different currencies - -]” The reporter continued broadcasting the morning news.Stella angrily hit the steering in anger.“Watch where you are going, brat!” Madam Harriet shouted at her in annoyance. That was the only way she could avert her anger.“You shouldn’t raise your voice at me! Do that to your stupid lawyer and low brains!” Stella cried out at her mother. “If you hadn’t forced me to divorce, at least I would have managed him till the end! But what did
The engagement between Richester and Amanda spread like wildfire as everyone was anxious to know more about their love story and more update on their next plan. He was rarely seen around women thus engaging one came as a shock to them.He stood in his office in Rich Hotel, the nameplate having his name on it was positioned on his desk. Shortly after a knock, Glenn walked in.“Good morning, boss. We have some visitors.” Glenn informed him politely.“Who are they?” He asked before turning over to her, all these while he had been staring into the bustling city through the panoramic view.“They refused to say who they were.” Glenn shook her head.After a long silence, he exhaled heavily.“Let them in.” He sat down on his seat and crossed his legs, Glenn bowed and left.Richester noticed her lingering affection for him and shunned her immediately so all the feeling she had for him turned into respect as she had to mind her lane if ever she wanted to keep her job.A few minutes after she lef
“Get out of here, you fool!” Theo, the general officer yelled at Don Maximo and Charles as he pushed them into the cafeteria hall.Adams, Lucky, and Jones were in the queue waiting to be served their lunch.“Whose turn is it to wash the lavatory?” Theo questioned with a thunderous voice.“Prisoner 940 and 941!” The hungry and grumpy-looking prisoners shouted at the top of their voices.Since the departure of Richester, there were no longer rankings in the prison as many feared to sit in that position. It needed someone with a strong mind and a good connection.Everything sailed smoothly and steadily in the prison but for Trevor’s lackeys, they had it hot.“What are you waiting for?” Theo’s voice came up, staring at them disdainfully.“Sir, we haven't eaten any - -” Charles hadn’t finished his statement when a hot slap rested on his face, he supported his cheek with his hands looking shocked at the general’s action.“Do you want me to repeat myself?” He raised a scornful brow at them, t
“Father, this is the man I want to marry.” Amanda’s voice resonated in the dining room.She was having lunch with her father and beside her was her fiancee, Richester. He composed himself like a man who has always been serious in life. He would do everything possible to make himself look presentable in front of his future father-in-law.“Isn't he the same man that you disagreed to have an affair with?” Mr. Conrez asked cryptically.He was discharged a week ago and Amanda didn’t hesitate to share the good news with him.“He is.” She placed a palm on his hand. “But that was in the past, I love him.” She said seriously.“Young man, do you love my daughter?” Mr. Conrez asked, dropping the fork and knife. He focused on Richester, trying to observe him.Amanda was his only family and he didn’t joke with her.“Yes, sir. I love her yesterday, today, and forever.” He said and changed the pattern, he placed his hand on hers and squeezed it gently. Amanda blushed.“That’s a relief.” But then, he
Before his laptop finished booting, the police van already gained access to the mansion. Siren sounds could be heard from the main house as Raymond and Seven rushed in, looking nervous.“Boss, it’s the police,” Raymond announced impatiently.“Police? Who called them?” He questioned anxiously but got no response, his eyes wandered around until he noticed that someone was missing.“Stella! It’s Stella.” He assumed correctly.“We can’t run away, after all, we didn’t kill anyone so no need to hide.” Mada Pia began. “Let’s go out and face them.” She suggested.Richester was a bit reluctant, he was afraid that the news might drain his reputation again. He was skeptical and cautious since the system was no longer with him but Amanda grabbed his arm and let out a reassuring smile.“Don't worry, I’m with you.” Maybe from now on, he doesn’t need a system. He already had one.They strolled out of the mansion to meet the police officers who were in the yard.As expected, news spread like wildfire
