The room suddenly dropped dead, and if even a needle fell on the floor, it could be heard loud and clear. Danvers' words made the whole house to be silent while glancing at him with a funny look on their faces then suddenly, thru broke out laughing hard and holding their belly while others wiping off the little bit of tears that came out of their eyes. They were all looking at him with a funny look while laughing at him. The look on their faces was one full of misery, mockery, and disgust. “Danvers, aren't you tired of being ridiculed and looked down upon by everyone? Do you even have the mind to come up with such a big lie? Or wait, let's be clear here: Are you trying to ease up the atmosphere by making us laugh with all you just said? Stephen asked while trying to hold his stomach, which hurts from laughing too much. Zara, on the other hand, her cheeks were red due to so much laughter. “Oh my God. It's been a while since I laughed this hard to the point where I even cried a lit
“Rhina it is evident that you didn't live well ever since your father died, but do you think that's enough reason to steal from the company? To the extent you think we will be too dumb to realize it? The old lady ignored everything Danvers had just said because it was impossible for him to have money the way he has always been. All her efforts and interrogation were centered towards Rhina. “Grandma lady, I have said all that needed to be said and even if you ask from now till next year, my answer still remains the same but if you think you do not trust me, I can rush down to gold corporation and get the documents for you to carry out an audit" she said looking at the old lady fearlessly. The old lady was stunned at her sudden baldness. Rhina was so fearless and confident in whatever she was saying because whatever she was accused of is what the other family members were doing so she was so confident in saying that lady Dabby should go through the company's account. On a second note
Still at the dining, Marcus and the others were talking about the new house. They couldn't wait for the 10th to come so quickly so that they could see what they've pulled up. If it was a luxury home, they would go ahead and tell lady Dabby, but if the house in question was old, they would see it as another opportunity to laugh at them even more. Margaret was so angry that the house thing got to their ears. She had intended to just rent an apartment for a few days and deal with Alice, her friend. She never knew that they had an idea of what was going on. If she invites them over and they find out she told lies about buying a house just to belong and impress, she would be mocked to death. The idea of her wanting to book a house for the event had not reached the Dabby family. otherwise, it would be another topic of the year. “Margaret, are you seriously not going to invite us during your house warming party?" Marcus asked provocatively. " This something to be happy about, if you inv
It was past 12 pm on the 10th of the month when Danvers went to pick Rhina up from work. Initially, during house warming events like this, there is usually a lot of preparation to be done. But not in this case Rhina woke up, and Danvers assured her she could go to work. When Rhina got into the car, she asked Danvers about the house. Its location was not a problem to her. She made up her mind that his home would be her home too. However, Rhina was unusually tense that day. She never wanted Emile to be present. She did not want to give him an opportunity to compare her house and his mother's. Rhina wished that Danvers' house would be better than Alice’s. “Are you serious right now? Didn't I point it out to you the last time we went jogging?He asked with a beautiful smile. “Rhina looked at Danvers, surprised. He was referring to the house located at the center of the white street. How could anyone ever believe what he just said? “This is not a joking matter. Moms classmates will be
Danvers looked at Rhina and smiled. He didn't pay attention to all she was saying. Rather, he drove right to the middle of the villa at White Street. Rhina was confused, not sure of what to do or say that would make him change his mind. A lot of questions popped up in her mind as Danvers drove the car right into the White House villa packing lot. Though she had never been there, she had heard a lot of news about the rules that guided the area. And the consequences that followed anyone who dared to break the rule. Each house had everything they needed, and if another trespasses, he or she would be an offender. Therefore, be forced to face the consequences. The area was controlled and guided by a very powerful team of gangstars in bredon City. No one dared to anger them. otherwise, you flesh would be fed to the dogs. The only explanation he could give for driving into the mansion parking was that he was the owner of the villa. Danvers packed the car in the lot, steeped out, walked
After crying for a while, Rhina lifted her head up, pointing at the picture on the wall and saying, Authoritatively “bring it down now!!!"" May I ask why? Danvers said. Was it so difficult for her to look at herself on the wall? In the same picture, she asked the photographer to get rid of her because she wanted to heal and forget such a day ever existed? Danvers had made up his mind that if that was the case, then he was going to take down the photo without hesitation because his intentions were not to do anything that would make her unhappy. “The lady in the picture, does her facial expression not mean anything to you even now? Why are you so kind to her? You do not want to see her unhappy even for a bit. Why is that? She asked, crying even harder. “Oh" he gasped, looking at her with a smiling face “that's because the person right there is my wife, and we have been legally bound together and recognized." Rhina stood up from where she was crying and embraced Danvers. While in hi
Later that evening, Margaret's classmates were all gathered at Alice's house. “What sought of nonsense is this? Why is Margaret making us wait?She asks like she wants to take us to the presidency. " " Her house must be located in a residential area because I do not understand the need for all these protocols!”" Sure, of course, if not, why would she ask us to wait here, and she is not there herself? Alice instantly got angry. If Margerat actually bought a house where the others had speculated, she would be unable to downgrade the house because it would definitely be more than hers. Though they were still contemplating if she even had the money to get a new house, taking her position at the Dabby clan into consideration. Though the Dabby family was well to do, but Margaret and her children were considered useless even though Rhina occupied a big position in the company, it was due to her relationship with the president of Champions if not she wouldn't have had such an opportunity
“Is that not going to mean you are working for the champions? Why do that when you are already well to do yourself?"His mother's friend asked. Though they were well to do themselves, their children were letting their guides down so they couldn't help but envy Peter and his achievement at that age. But to him, working with the champions, his future would be bright. “Peter, why am I just hearing this now?" Alice asked, trying to act upset. " Mom, it's not a big deal. It's just a business negotiation with the aim of earning a few more dollars. That's all, I didn't see it necessary to tell you about it” he said smiling, and his mom soon lost up and smiled again. The mother-son relationship that just took place left the rest of them envious. Just then, three limousines packed in front of the crowd, leaving them stunned. “What's going on here, Peter? Alice asked. It seems like the house that Margaret bought is not a child's play. For her to put up such a show is not something to joke
Stephen was carried and placed in an ambulance and rushed to the hospital. “He is loosing a lot of blood" the doctor said. “ We need to get him to the operation room to remove the bullet it punctured his heart and he is going to need a heart transplant"Fortunately for him, there was a donor who was also a match. He was immediately prepared for surgery. As soon as he was closed up, he went into a coma. Raven on the otherhand was arrested and taken to court for attempted murder.Life in jail wasn't treating him well as he was constantly being beaten by his cell mates. The doctors did all they could to see that Stephen is back on his feet so he could face judgment to know avail. None of his family members even came to visit or see how he was doing. His insurance card was already running out of cash making expenses to be on the hospitals account. While investigations were still going on, Frederick went to visit Raven.“I need you to do something for me" he started.“Anything for yo
After Danvers had signed the contract with his collaborators and partners, he organized a small celebration party to celebrate the idea. The event was covered by the Eden media houses. As soon as other media houses saw the footage, they immediately connected to it selling his idea even more. The next day, other companies and businesses started rushing in to sign up under the Danvers' Alliance to gain protection. “ If I tell you that I am not proud of you, then I must be a liar!!" Patrick, Danvers' uncle said. And he chuckled a little. " Thank you"Danvers didn't end there. He made sure to trace where Emile and Peter were hiding. As he was still talking to his uncle, he received a call about the people who unanimously wanted to see him go down. “ I need to go, I have urgent matters that need my attention!" He said as he grabbed his keys and left. “Take your time Son!" Patrick shouted at the top of his voice with beautiful smiles written all over his face. After riding for 20 minu
The journalist tried to walk into the company to ask further questions but was not given the opportunity. Maxon, Xavier and the other company guides made sure none of them entered the office. Danvers walked into his office followed by his two Maxon and Xavier. They turned on the television news channels and they were all happy to see the fire Danvers had just packed up. Social media on its part wasn't helping matters. Influencers hijacked the whole situation and even made things worst. After seeing what has been happening over the media, the reaction of the population was instantaneous as they started withdrawing from the Blackwell Building. They stopped shopping there and regarded it as an area or a mall that was out to see the people dead. Five months later***********Items in the building started going out of date. Unable to recover his debts, Raven was forced to give it out to someone else while investigations were still going on regarding the claims Danvers had labeled again
Before Danvers could reach out to the owner of the Blackwell Building to stop him, Raven had already bought and was already in charge of the business. But that didn't stop him, he started to unveil everything that Raven had done in the past. The page he had created a few weeks back had gained immense popularity. He decided to use it as a tool against Raven and his new business. He released the first video on how Danvers poisoned his Dad and how he collaborated with Frederick, his cousin to accomplish his evil plans. People started restraining from his supermarket but with the use of influencers and some media personnels, he was able to clear his name. “ I need you to make the public believe it's all a lie, whatever That Bastard is saying on that useless page of his are all lies."“But how do you want us to do that?" One of the influencers asked.“I don't know, just do your job and I will pay you no matter the amount you need. I worked so hard to be here" they looked at him and nod
“You have to calm down, we've got this" Danvers assured Marcel . He decided to look into the account of the lawyer who defended Raven too and also other prominent individuals whom he thinks might be related to whatever Raven was doing. On investigating these accounts, they found out one and thesame problem. Which is having different figuresin the account and another on the bank statement.“This is strange" Marcel said and Danvers laughed. “No it's not. I have encountered something like this in the past and they didn't realize it until when the evidence was brought to their faces." He said with a smile on his face. With the assurance that Xavier andaxon were both equal to the task. Turning to look at his men he asked. “ Can you fix it immediately? " Sure we can” they said with their eyes still focused on their laptops. " First we need to print out this information before it is corrected on the system.”Looking at the worrid Marcel, Danvers walked up to him and smiled. " You don
The next day, Danvers drove to his office. While on his way, he decided to pass by the bank. Divo Bank, was the bank used by most prominent wealthy individuals in Bradon city. When he got there, he drove to the parking lot and after that, he walked straight to the receptionist area. “ You are welcome sir, how may we help you!?" A young slim beautiful young lady dressed in a corporate attire asked him. “ I am here to see your manager, is he in?"“ Yes sure, please hold on a second let me notify him of your presence" she said, picking up the fixed phone beside her desk and calling.“Sure," Danvers replied, taking a step back. " This way sir” the lady said, leading the way to the elevator and to the manager's office. Danvers walked in and the lady smiled and went back to her post of duty. As Danvers walked in, he was elated to see Marcel," Great master!!” Marcel chaired as he stood up on his feet to greet him respectfully. Danvers released a broad smile deep down he knew that this w
Danvers sat alot in his office staring at the prices of evidence the lawyer threw to the bin and judged everything in Raven's favor, recording and chats with his associates. The more Danvers thought of it, the more he realized how pathetic the economy they lived in had become. He leaned back in his chair, with his eyes narrowed on one of the pieces of evidence he had in his hand. He knew there was something wrong and he needed to figure it out so everything would fall in place. Shortly after, there was a knock on the door distracting him from what he was trying to figure out. “Who is it?” he asked, keeping his voice steady.“Marshall,” Marshall replied with his response barely above a whisper. “It’s me, Danvers, let me in.”He hesitated for a second because he wanted to be alone and think. But Marshall was his lawyer, and on his side besides he also had the necessary guidance he needed at the moment. After thinking for a while whether yo let him in or not, he went towards the door
The courtroom was busy with viewers from around the city and soft whispers and shuffles of papers were heard as the trial of Raven reached its climax. They had not expected it to be this way from the beginning. The room was filled up, every seat occupied by those who followed the case with a lot of interest and concern with regards to what they thought was all Danvers’ fault not knowing the person behind it had been moving freely in their midst. Among the crowd of people present were reporters, some holding notebooks in their hand, while others with cameras ready to take pictures of every event taking place there today.At the front, Danvers sat comfortably in his chair, with his hands held together on the table in front of him. His lawyer, an aspiring young man Marshall , was beside him, flipping through a thick file of documents to get a better master in case he missed anything. Across the room was Raven, the aging man who was behind all the events that led to Danvers' arrest, s
“I would do that but I need you to tell me everything that's to know about you and this case” the lawyer uttered with a stained face. Raven looked at him and narrowed his head in shame. Then looked up at him again and he began narrating all that had happened from when he new Danvers Dad till date how he ended up in jail. " Waoow” the lawyer heased, " that's a huge one but I would do everything in my power to see that you are released." The lawyer said and left. Danvers was in his living room and when he recieved a call from an anonymous number. He was hesitant at first then later decided to hear what the person had to say. “Hello?" Danvers answered inquisitively. “Hello, my name is Louis Jeck and I am sorry to bother you this evening" “That's okay! How may I help you?" Danvers asked again. “ I am here to give you a vital information which I know you would need against Raven and his team. It also has to do with your company the Champions production house"“I am listening!" He s
