The mysterious call last night led Jamal to take a drastic risky step.

“What? He is leaving the family mansion?” Madam Felicia rushed down the stairs, draping her nighties across her. The others followed from behind.

“Then, where will start living?” Madam Theresa questioned with a brief pause. “We don’t want the press to announce that we chased you out of the mansion, you know.” Madam Theresa informed him slightly.

“No worries, everyone. Master Jamal would be living at the Jackie-Ville presidential suite from now on.” Dennis announced to them and they gasped in shock.

“What?” Martins’ eyes rolled from his mother back to Jamal, the poor thief who came “just” yesterday, now trampling on them like daily bread.

“I thought that suite was restricted from everyone until a successor is being chosen?” James raised a brow, looking utterly confused.

“Mr. Dennis, we can never let him set his filthy foot in that suite. That’s absurd!” Madam Felicia queried in annoyance.

“Do you have a way of stopp

He informed him, taking his jacket from his seat."Sir, are you going somewhere?" Dennis raised a brow."Yes, I have a date." He said nervously."A date?

Martins nervously cleared his throat."After what you did last time, I doubt if anyone would accept you into their industry." One of the shareholders began. "I mean, they might disqualify you thinking you cheated." The shareholder added and everyone nodded in agreement."That's too cruel, you should learn how to use your words." Madam Felicia snorted."Says the same person that publicly disgraced her own stepson for his little setback." A staff rolled her eyes in disgust.Jamal cleared his throat, trying to stop the atmosphere from ruining completely."We just got the memo." He began.

Melanie and a young man. Currently, the young man is out of sight and our prime suspect is Miss. Melanie." The detective explained rashly."That's ridiculous! I'm his girlfriend."

    “Madam Felicia, I’m sorry to say this but you can’t take Jamal out of the hospital!” Dennis refused strongly.“How dare you!” Madam Felicia queried.“I’m saying what’s right!” Dennis queried. “He has money and shares everywhere, don’t you think is wickedness to discharge him? Or do you desperately want his end?” Dennis raised a brow, forgetting he was speaking to a superior.“You have no right to speak with my mother in that manner!” Martins shunned him.“And your mother has no right to control someone’s life!” Dennis yelled.“Are you tired of living?” James asked, irritated.“What do you think?” Dennis raised a brow. He looked so annoyed and angry.“Someone should call the guards to drag this old fool out of here!” Madam Felicia scoffed in disgust. “I have always been mild with you because of the relationship you had with my late husband but if you continue to act along with that little rag, I will make sure you join him.” She threatened him seriously.“Then, you should stay clear be

    “Jamal?” Everyone gasped, with different facial expressions. Madam Felicia’s face was saying a complete “I thought you were dead!”The event turned upside down as guest and press media reporters demanded an explanation.“What are you doing here?” Madam Felicia gritted her teeth in anger as she approached Jamal.“It’s good to have you all here.” He said, flashing a smile. He looked like a new person, with no injury or scar. Now everyone wanted an explanation, was he the one in the hospital? Was he really kidnapped? They wanted a “legit” news.“Why do you have to come back today of all days?” Madam Felicia asked him seriously, forgetting they were in public.“Because I wanted to see you looking this way.” He curled his lips. “It gives me joy and I also want to see the look of pain, depression, and anxiety all over your face when the thing you desperately desire goes back to the real owner.” He said seriously, sounding deep and annoying.“You - -” Madam Felicia tried to slap him but he h

    “I disagree!” Madam Felicia hit her hand on the table.“Your voice doesn’t count here.” He shunned her seriously and everyone looked at him in astonishment. They have never seen him in such a fury mood.“They are the same people that refused to partner with us when we begged them, they also refused to support us a few years before we survived a sharp period of bankruptcy. Do you still think they are worth partnering with?” Martins questioned him disgustingly after he saw the way he spoke meanfully to his mother.“That was when the leadership was confusing and not stable. No company will invest in another company that’s on the verge of falling, don’t you agree?” He raised a brow and the staff nodded their head in adjournment.“I said, I’m not comfortable with having them in this company. It’s never going to happen.” Madam Felicia insisted.“She is right. Since they abandoned us when we haven’t grown, I don’t think it’s right to keep them close. Reconsider this, young man.” Madam Theres

    They finished packaging everything in the car.“ Can I talk to you for a while?” Paula asked, as she flipped her hair to her back. “ Sure,” Melanie answered. They walked inside the house. “ I wanted to properly apologize to you about what happened between Jamal and me, I know you still resent me but I am here now to say I am sorry for the pain I caused you and your family”Melanie was not expecting that to come out in that manner. They had stayed quiet while packaging the things they needed for vacation. No words or laughter were exchanged. They minded their business. “ It is fine, apology accepted” She smiled at her, it was genuine. “ Can I get a hug?” Paula askedMelanie pulled her into a hug. “ We are going to go late, ladies,” Jamal shouted from the window. He had been watching them. He wanted to let them be but they were running out of time. They got into the car. He drove them to a resort.

    Jamal had to sit close to her to see it. “ I had my suspicions about this,” he said.“ I was on it and this just confirmed it, I will send this to the police” It was a video that contained the things he did to little girls that were brought to him. “ He can't escape this” Mitchell smiled at the laptop in front of her as she forwarded it to the police. “ Hey dude, thanks for this” Mitchell got herself a glass of wine. She was happy because that was the only thing left to find out. She figured that Reuben would be able to get it for her. He had kept that for the last fight against Sam. The flash that Paula had taken just had little of what he was doing. “ Glad I kept that safe,” Reuben smiled broadly. The door opened and Dave walked in. He went to Mitchell and kissed her passionately.“ Didn't see that coming” Reuben was shocked to see them that way. “ Get used to it dude” Dave replied to him.“ Getting a toast? We've worked so hard to save everyone from that disaster” Paula go

After a while, Reuben came by. “ What was that about? The thing between you and Melanie” Mitchell asked Paula. “ Melanie and Dave had something in the past. We are just here because Sam took my daughter, and I knew how dangerous it was that my daughter was with him” “ Excuse me, you have a daughter?” Mitchell's mouth dropped open, she had never seen her or heard her talk about her daughter.“ Yes, my daughter, Jamal's daughter, Rose. Rose is my daughter, I was not ready to handle a baby so I left her at the playing ground, luckily for me, Jamal and Melanie took her” Mitchell was surprised to hear that. She wondered how Paula must have felt seeing her daughter a

    She got downstairs and could not see Paula. She looked around the place. “ Where is she?” She asked Sam who stood there looking shocked as well. “ She was right here when I left this place” Michelle was not having any of it. She charged at him. “ Where did you keep her?” “ This was all planned by the both of you, you saying you wanted to pee, and then I left her here, you two planned this” He left Mitchell there and went upstairs. Mitchell ran to the door that the maid had pointed. She got to the door and saw that it was locked. She tried to hit it open but it was not working. ” Who is there?” Mitchell heard a faint voice coming from the room. She leaned in on it. “ Anyone there?” She asked. “ Mitchell” That was Reuben calling faintly. He had woken up and could not recognize where he was. He tried to stand up but could not do so. He was weak.He crawled to the door and tried to open it but it would not open. He struggled with the door but could not open it. He stayed ther

He continued to talk with Sam till he began to feel dizzy. He stood up. “ Where can I get some rest, I am so tired,” he said to Sam. “ Take him to the room,” he said to the maid.

    She quickly told Dave about the man that had met her at the pack. It sounded surprising to him at first but was no longer funny when he remembered that someone was following Mitchell as well. “ Maybe it is just some coincidence,” he told Paula. Paula was not satisfied with it. She went to her bag and brought out the card he had given her. She called him up. When Richard saw her call, he smiled. “ Such an easy catch,” he said as he picked it up and answered. She wanted him to meet her up in a place, that same place. He teased her about missing him already. He got dressed and drove out of the house. He got to the place and saw that she had already gotten there, and even had a drink on the table. He walked to her. “ Wanna give me a hug?” He spread his hands at her. “ Not today” She waved at him to sit down. He had a disappointed look on his face. “ So you missed me?” He ordered his drinks as well. “ You wish, far from that” She took a sip. “ Did you follow me home t

    He smiled as he sent the last apology message to her. He had been pleading with her to forgive him. He sent flowers and gifts as well. He stayed on his bed, looking at his phone and waiting for a reply from her. It came, she had forgiven him. He immediately asked her to fix a place for them to meet. He told her how badly he wanted to see her. She accepted and sent him a location. She stood in front of the mirror as she dressed. “ You look great,” Dave said to her as she stepped out of her bedroom. “ Thank you” “ Why did you put so much effort into looking this good, going on a date?” He had fear in his heart that she was going to see a lover. “ Is that so? I do not want to appear like that, I will go change” She rushed into the room and had to change the way she styled her hair and had to also change her clothes. She came out in front of Dave. “ Is this okay?” She asked him. “ Yes, where to go?” “ To see someone” was all she said before she left the house. She entered her

    He had everything set. He looked so flashy and smelt of wealth. He smells good as well. He got into his car and drove to the expensive restaurant that was in town. He parked his car and got out. The ladies there blushed as they flashed his smiles. He waved at one of the girls, she could not believe that he was waving at her. She smiled broadly as she held her chest. He walked into the restaurant. He looked so good, his hair and the way his lips looked, soft and inviting. He entered and the attention he got was beautiful. He looked around like he was searching for someone. He walked to a table and pulled the chair. “ I wish I was the one he sat with,” one of the ladies at the opposite table said, she was loud enough to be heard. He kept his hands on the table, with his fingers making a tapping sound on the table.Mitchell raised her face and looked at him. He smiled at her. “ Thought you would never look at me or notice that I have been sitting down here” he smiled again. Mitch

    He drove back to the house feeling down and dejected. He could not explain why everything was beginning to turn against him. He got home and noticed that the domestic staff were not there. He called out to them but did not hear anyone answer. He went around his house and saw that no one was around. He called the security man at his gate and asked where his domestic staff had all gone. “ When I asked them, they answered that you asked them to leave, I had to let them go” He was angry, he slapped the gatekeeper. He went back inside the house and had to go to their rooms. He got there and saw that their belongings were no longer there.“ I never gave any order,” he screamed. He went inside and for the first time in a long while, he entered into his kitchen to get a drink. He sat down, he was scared to open his phone, he was also scared to turn on the television as well. The door opened and Reuben walked in. He saw the bottle of drink with Sam, he rushed to Sam and took the drink a
