Just as he wanted, they fell for his trick and he was ever ready to try them wherever they were going.“Have you called him?” Madam Theresa shrugged with her eyes scanning the isolated hallway.“He said he will be here in a few minutes, we just have to wait.” Madam Felicia said, her eyes looking left and right while hitting her phone softly on her palm.Meanwhile, at the other corner, Jamal was dressed in a completely black outfit and nose mask. He pinned his back behind a long van that gave him a clear view of what they were doing; he could also hear what they were saying - maybe not so clear.“Do you think he is trying to stand us up?” Madam Theresa panicked more than the person in question, Madam Felicia sighed in disgust.“Will you calm down and wait? Don’t poke me, it’s not like I’m with him there.” Madam Felicia was so annoyed that she yelled at her co-wife in anger.They were the only ones in the creepy street and all they heard were rustles and weird sounds which scared them.
“Rich men do this but I had no belief that your father will follow them.” He sighed, about to leave the table but she stopped him by grabbing his hand.“Jamal.” She called out to him. Because of the eyes that were slowly turning to him, he reluctantly sat down. “It hasn’t gotten to the point of getting mad, has it?” She asked him sadly.“Of course, it has.” He paused. “If it was a case that I was a poor man, it would have been understandable. But right now, I have money and he is also aware that we are dating, why is he trying to arrange you for someone else?” He questioned annoyingly, staring at Melanie’s clueless eyes.“Well, if that’s what he wants, I won't fight with him. Besides, I have so much on my tab that I can’t afford to fight for a woman, At least I know, no one fought for me.” He informed her seriously, walking away from the restaurant.Melanie was in tears, no matter how she tried to control herself, they kept on rolling down her cheeks. She quickly grabbed her handbag a
Surprisingly, she was wearing a white silk dress, sleeveless and transparent, with her hair gathered into a bun. As soon as his eyes locked with her, she felt ashamed, and embarrassed, and had the sudden urge to do what she came for."Jamal, please just let me." She whispered.He was so surprised because that was the last thing he expected from her, why was she doing this? And how come she came into his mansion, straight to his bedroom without getting any security alert?"You can't do this, Melanie. Do you want to regret it?" He grabbed her hand, stopping her from making any progress."I'm not going to regret anything, Jamal. I want this." She urged him sadly with her eyes. "If I don't do this, I might regret it for a lifetime." She added."Talk to me, what's the problem?" He asked, staring at her with concern permeating through his eyes."I told Dad everything he need to know about our relationship and that we have decided to get married soon, it's not happening anytime now." She beg
"WHAT?! How? When?!" As he questioned seriously over the phone, he grabbed his car keys and rushed out of his office.The news he just heard had shattered him so much that he shoved people in the hallway and ignored their greetings."Why did you do this to me??" He questioned in annoyance as he barged into Mr. Alcantara's office.Mr. Alcantara was on a phone call and reacted startled upon seeing him, he quickly ended the call and shot him a dirty look."What is the meaning of this, Jamal?!" Mr. Alcantara fired at him."I thought we made an agreement and you accepted to let her be with me, why did you send her away without my consent?!" He questioned him angrily."Is that why you barge into my office this early morning disrespectfully?!" Mr. Alcantara yelled in his face."Yes because I have never seen a businessman that lacks integrity. We already agreed and reached a conclusion, why did you breach that??" He was annoyed and petrified that yelling at Mr. Alcantara couldn't soothe him.
"What kind of statement is that?" He laughed after hearing the news Dennis had brought for him. He scratched his hair roughly, entering the bank with him.Dennis went ahead to call the attention of the manager so their need would be given a solution."How can I -" The manager stopped talking when he found him familiar. After all the news spreading here and there, the manager had learned to respect everyone and mind his awful behavior."You are still working here." He smirked."Yes sir." The manager bowed down. "How can I help you, sir?" The manager asked courteously."Yeah -" He narrowed his gaze to Dennis, signaling him to speak."Yesterday, we were informed by customer service in this bank that the fund in my boss's account is too much and has exceeded the account limit. When did that rule begin?" Dennis explained, raising a brow."My apologies, it seems the customer service personnel is a new staff or didn't check your star level in the bank." The manager meticulously explained to
He was about to step out of the company through the main reception exit when Madam Felicia came from nowhere and slapped him hard on his face."What's the meaning of this?!" He held himself so strong else he would have given her a hard one on her face, after all, she wasn't his mother or anything important to him.Some staff and guests who had visited the company were left in awe at the shocking sight."Are you mad?!" Madam Felicia spat at his face."If you don't explain your action, I swear I will slap you back." He threatened her seriously."Who gave you the right to fire my son?!" Madam Felicia questioned him in annoyance."I haven't done that, I was giving it a second thought but with this, I will definitely see to it that he is fired." He informed her curtly."For your mind, you have grown wings, huh?" Madam Felicia scoffed. "Don't push me to the wall, Jamal. If you dare touch or do anything displeasing to my son, I will never let you go scout-free." Madam Felicia warned him."Do
“What’s the meaning of this? Please, I need an explanation.” Madam Felicia said, provoked as she struggled with the handcuffs.“If you struggle too much, you might injure yourself.” The officer shunned her.“Why won’t I struggle when I’m innocent?” Madam Felicia argued with the officer and he smirked, leaving the interrogation room.The detective stepped in, giving each of them a long look.“Are you here to release us? I won’t speak without my lawyer..” Madam Theresa angrily gritted her teeth.“Don’t bother your lawyer or waste your funds in the name of trying to blame him because there is enough evidence about the both of you.” The detective smirked.“We didn’t do anything!” Madam Felicia informed him vividly.“Then, how do you explain this?” The detective asked as he played the voice recordings and video records between Madam Theresa, Madam Felicia, and London but how ridiculous it was, the editor was able to cut out London’s voice and face which made it look like the main prime sus
“Didn’t I warn you not to play with fire?” Madam Felicia smirked, giving him a dirty laugh.“I guess your mother failed to teach you not to depend on dirty tricks.” He snorted.“I won, Jamal. This is to show you that I have every power to crumble you, you have to be careful of me.” Madam Felicia warned him.“I’m only going easy with you, old woman.” He looked at her seriously. “But since you hate chances, I won’t give that to you, I’m going to give it to you back to back.” He informed her curtly. “Beware of me as I would do something drastic if you dare to offend me. James’ case is only the tip of an iceberg.” He laughed in disgust as he confidently walked out of the court.Madam Felicia’s fist clenched in anger and Martins held her hand, preventing her from exploding.“Mum,” Martins called her out and she exhaled heavily, rolling her eyes away from him.“I hate this boy! I really want to get rid of him.” Madam Felicia bit her lips in anger.“That’s not going to happen if you let your
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. He got down and opened the car door for them. “ Such a beautiful place to be in” M
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
When the door opened, Richard was trying to suffocate Dave. He was immediately handed over to the police. He was taken away from the hospital. The doctors had to urgently attend to Dave and make sure he was okay. They all went back to their houses. Paula could not afford to stay alone so she joined Mitchell at her place. 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
Reuben got to the address and quickly sent it to Mitchell. He walked closer to it. It was a massive building. “ How possible!” He exclaimed as he saw the house. He walked into it. Sam Anderson went to the door to get him. He had seen Reuben outside. He got there and opened the door for Reuben. Reuben walked in and could not believe how well-decorated the house was. “ You own this?” He asked “ No, I do not,” he answered as he sat down.Richard was upstairs looking at them. Sam raised his face and looked up. Richard nodded at him. He was still talking with Reuben when the maid brought a drink. “ You should have this,” he said to him.Reuben took it from the maid and drank it. 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. Richard came downstairs when Reuben had been taken to the room. “ He will be there for a long time,” Sam said to Richard. I
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
