“~!!This is my last warning!!~“~ Since chances have been overstepped ~“~ I won’t resist this time from any hit ~“~ Get ready for me to answer to every ~“~ blow. I know you but you don’t know me.~”For some reason, as the entire family read the letter, they developed cold sweat looking scared, confused, and shocked.“Is this his own way to apologize?” Madam Felicia managed to speak with her lips trembling.“He has the guts!” Nathan reacted provoked. “We have to teach this son of a bitch a lesson!” Nathan urged angrily.“Right? He has been overstepping his own boundaries. Do I also have a right to make his life a living hell?” James asked, staring at his mother.“For him to send us this message, means he is ready to fight and will be stepping up in the game. We have to be extremely careful.” Madam Theresa said calmly.“Careful? Do you expect us to stay still until he takes everything away and ruins us?” Madam Felicia fired at her.“I don’t mean that.” Madam Theresa closed her eyes b
“Young master, are you alright?” Dennis rushed into the hospital injury ward, he saw Jamal and Melanie sitting on the bed while the nurses tended to their skin injuries.“I’m fine.” He said, flashing him a smile.“What happened? How did this happen?” Dennis inquired impatiently.Maybe in the entire planet, he was the one person who meant a lot to Jamal and also cared so much for him.“They did it.” He mumbled only to Dennis hearing while Melanie gave them a somewhat look.“Don’t worry, we will be fine.” Her voice found its way to the conversation, trying to assure Dennis.“Do it.” He commanded Dennis seriously.“Do what?” She grabbed his hand resting on his knee.“It’s none of your business.” He smiled, changing his facial expression as soon as he faced Dennis.“Yes, sir.” Dennis nodded, bowed, and left the hospital.Melanie wondered what he was up to while looking at him in silence.“Sir, you both are fine and can be discharged today.” The nurse informed him courteously and he stood
“[Breaking News: Just now, the Grandmaster of Technology had joined the International contest holding in the presidential villa…]” The board of directors silently watched the news while nodding their heads.“Good one!” Leo broke the silence.“This will be very good for our company in terms of promotion and new clients.” Another investor nodded his head approvingly.“Why are we not looking at the other bad side?” The hired investor rubbed his chin acting as if he wasn’t referring to them.“What do you mean?” Leo’s brow furrowed while Jamal raised a disgusted brow.“I mean, what if he doesn’t win? Success isn’t an everyday medicine, you know.” The hired investor curled his lips.“Are you mentally sane? Why should you be talking about that?!” One of the major shareholders fired at him.“But -” The hired investor wanted to speak but was rudely interrupted.“In things like this, we have to be positive. don’t forget we are investors, if anything happens to our company’s finance, we are done
“The contest will begin now.” The host began.Cold chills rushed up his spine when he saw different personalities and their gaze on each of them. Was it the president? Or his vice? Or the honorable guest of an established career. He has never been so nervous and scared before.“As experienced technologists, today’s challenge was picked from deteriorating companies, the participants shall be solving the problem of Cybersecurity Threats Continuity, Data Protection, and Privacy and Lagging using the application on their laptop screen.” The host meticulously explained to them. “This case has been constantly happening in most companies which leads to fold up or crash, but today, we must seek a permanent solution to it.” The host continued, walking down from the stage.Honestly, the task was so critical and confusing that some participants even muttered between themselves. They never expected it to be so difficult, without starting, some of them had imaginary beads of sweat forming on their
“H- How did this happen?” He asked angrily.“Yes.” Leo faced Dennis. “A fire can’t start up in broad daylight without anything happening.” Leo indirectly urged him for an answer.“I was on my way to meet the chairman at the presidential villa when I got a call from the security guarding the branch, they informed me of a sudden fire which made me rush down there. I witnessed it with my eyes as the building exploded, burnt down into ashes, leaving only iron bars.” Dennis told the story to them sadly and they shook their head dolefully.“This is bad!” One of the investors screamed in pain.“That was a lot of money! Over $300 to $400 billion spent in building that magnificent structure.” One of the shareholders held his head, unable to withstand the news.“Not even this contest can make us recover such a loss. We are done for.” Leo informed him bluntly.“I can’t let this go just like that.” He clenched his fist in anger. “I will make sure to get to the button of this.” He gritted his teet
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
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
