The director returned after a few minutes and he was followed by four men. One looked like the boss and the tiger three like his body guards. "Everyone, please meet Mr Queen Gray. He is the investor who gave us twenty million for the movie," the director introduced and his brow was sweating. It was clear that he wasn't ready for the impromptu visit of the rich manMurmurs started going around the people who were there."Do you know him?" "No. I have never heard of him either.""Macy, do you know him?" Another actress seated next to Macy asked. "Never even heard of the name Queen Gray," Macy said. "Mr Director, may I see the script. Where are you shooting today?" The man, Mr Queen, asked and the director rushed to give him a script and a chair was provided for him. "Here. We are at scene ten of act one," the director said as he opened the script. "Okay, let's see what you all are doing," Mr Queen said as he made himself comfortable. The director briefed him about the movie in ge
What made Richard good at what he did were a lot of things. One, he worked alone. This meant that there were no chances of being betrayed by anyone like what happened last time when he was forced to work as a group. Working alone made him efficient and minimized risks. Two, he was the master of disguise. He could turn to anyone whenever the situation called for it. Then, he was never afraid of a challenge. He loved what he did and facing a challenge even if it was scaling mountains or walking for miles or going without food, he could take them all. That was what was happening right now. After he left State House, the first thing he did was ditch the disguise he was wearing as Kano and go to the hotel he was staying at and check out. After that, he dumped the vehicle he took because he knew driving a government vehicle would sell him out. After that, he entered a public toilet and he came out as an American who was there for tour. He wanted to go around Dela Lucia and see the famo
He was finally inside the bunkers and that was when he realised that it was bigger than he could have expected and there were many rooms there. He figured that it was like a small skyscraper but built downwards instead of upwards. He wondered how he was to know which room belonged to him and he came up with a plan.He sneezed loudly and swayed. "Oh, Bluecomb, are you okay?" One of the soldiers coming from the duty with him asked. "No. I... I... Can't walk," he said weakly still pretending to be sick. "Okay, let me take you to our room then. I will help steady you," the soldier said and Richard thought 'fuck!' He hadn't banked on the fact that they were sharing rooms. But that wouldn't be an hindrance at all. He was going to work around it. They walked slowly and then came to a lift. They took the lift and it had no numbers on it. The man who seems to be this leader produced a card from his inner jacket and put it on a slot on the inside of the elevator and it clicked and starte
Then it occurred to him. He was dressed like a soldier here and he was even in a mask and no one could tell who her was. He could thus understand why the General looked at him like that. "General, I am a friend. I have been sent here to come and rescue you," Richard said and the General didn't relent. Richard understood because he, too, couldn't trust just anybody because they said they were 'a friend'."Code?" The General asked. "Dragon," Richard answered simply and he finally saw the other man relax and sigh I'm relief. "Ah! Finally! Took you guys long enough. I almost thought that that motherfucker in the oval forgot bout me. I thought I was dead. They pumped me with so much drugs I don't even know whether this is me speaking or not," the general, Jose Maria Luis, said as he made himself comfortable on the small bed. "What type of drugs?" Richard asked. "All types. Cocaine, mandrax, heroin and others I can't even name. I even think I'm hooked now," the General replied. "How d
"The mission has changed," Richard said go the phone after the call went through."Yeah. I have the General. There are other prisoners here and they are making super soldiers. So, we have to kill those, the General and I can do that before you get here, and make sure no one leaves," Richard said and listened again. "Okay. Can you get the coordinates of where we are from the phone?" He listens and again as he nodded subtly. "Good. See you. We will be waiting for you," he finished and hand up. "How many hours?" The general asked."Two hours. They are taking the men in Brazil,".richard answered as he returned the phone to his inner suit and took out two pills. "Take these. They will help with the withdrawal and keep you alert," he told the General and the other man took them without question. Richard then took out a body suit similar to the one he was wearing underneath and gave it to the General.The General changed as Richard took out several pieces of metal from all over his body
Richard and the General were finally out but it was after a grueling battle and the General was injured.After Richard had copied and scanned everything he needed as evidence of President Antonio’s misdeeds and crimes against humans, they made their way out of the office ready to look for a way out. They walked back to the stairs and what they hadn’t banked on were all the soldiers being there because due to the power breakdown, the elevator wasn’t working. There were more than twenty soldiers there who were looking for the general. Since they had combed all the floors and he was nowhere to be found, they had decided to check the elevator shafts to see if he was hidden there. That was when the two knew that it was now a do or die situation. Richard didn’t like killing innocent people but for these scoundrels who knew no humanity, he turned into a living killing machine. They were able to run back and lock those remaining in the stairway and they now needed to get out. “We have t
As Richard had on the plane on his way home catching up on some zzzzzs, Macy was busy on set. After that day end the investor Mr Queens visited the set and Macy was brought a special meal from Grand Hotel, a new rumour had started. Apparently, according to the know it alls, Macy was in a relationship with the said investor and that was why he came to back her up. What they didn't know was that Macy didn't care. As long as you didn't back up your claims with tangible evidence, all you were doing was just barking. "Why don't you look for a rich investor yourself so that you can be cast as a main lead in a movie," May asked some extras she found gossiping about Macy and they all kept quiet. This attitude of Macy and her assistant confused a lot of people and they really didn't know what to make of it. Was it true or not. But when it came to work, the new director was very impressed with Macy. Many a times she only needed one shot for every scene that was shot and if there was a ret
As May and Macy were setting up Angela, Richard had just arrived home and he was playing with his girl. They both had missed each other so much and Melvin couldn't be happier. She had a bucket load of information to tell her father. Her uncle Asher was busy stealing an election and he thus couldn't make it. Richard wanted to make sure that Asher did it before he went back and made sure that General Jose became the president and eliminated any person who would have thought of playing foul. On the set of the movie Major Calamities, investigations were underway and the props manager had been arrested as he tried to flee the country. He had run away immediately when the first bomb detonated and he knew that if the one Macy was holding was to go off, he would be arrested for murder. In short, he had grown cold feet at the last moment. Reports from the bomb experts had already revealed where the bombs had been bought and with the help of the props manager who agreed to act as a state
128. By the time Richard and Macy were done with entertaining the guests, time was far much spent.They thus decided to retire to their room and then leave for their honeymoon the next morning. Richard carried Macy across the threshold as was traditionally unacceptable for a groom to let his wife to enter the door walking in her first day as a wedded wife.Macy was so happy that she felt as if whatever she had going through was being compensated. By the time Richard was placing her on the bed that had been decorated with red roses, her ribs were tired from all the laughing.She was happy.She had two children and a man who adored her. She could not ask for more. “Do you want to take a bath first?” Richard asked her after helping her take off the high heeled shoes she had been wearing.“Yes. I will go first,” she told him.“Okay. I will help you prepare the bathtub," he offered."No. That's okay. I want to have a shower because I am tired. I just want to lay down,” she said and he n
127. The moment was intimate and all Richard could see was Macy. He didn't want to think of everyone gathered in the hall because he hated crowds and the reason why he did all this was for her.Another reason he held this wedding on an island was to make sure that not many people attended.The air was charged with excitement as those gathered waited to hear what Richard would say. Some wondered if it would be as heart touching as Macy's or if it would be blunt. As Richard took a deep breath, the crowd fell silent, anticipation hanging in the air. He turned to Macey, her eyes sparkling with joy, and began to speak the words he had carefully crafted in his heart. “Macy,” he started, his voice steady yet brimming with emotion, “from the moment I met you, I knew you were the one I wanted to spend my life with. You are my rock, my confidante, and my greatest adventure. With you, I have found a love that I never knew existed.”Tears glimmered in Macey’s eyes as Richard continued, recountin
126. “Macy, darling, we are so sorry for everything that we did. Please find it in your heart to forgive us," Mrs Phillips said and Macy just stood there both embarrassed and angry.She wondered why they had to make a scene even though she had allowed them in.“We are also thankful that you allowed us to your wedding. Thank you so much darling," her father added.“Just sit and let us continue," Macy said feeling all embarrassed because there were other people in the hall who weren't family and although it wasn't a secret now after the live broadcast of Angela washing her dirty linen in public that these people had neglected their own daughter and nurtured the one who had killed their own son, she wasn't ready to deal with them.This was supposed to be her day and not theirs.“No, darling. We won't sit unless you say that you have forgiven us," her mother, Mrs Phillips, said and she sighed.“You do realise that today is supposed to be about me and not you, right?" Macy asked the two wh
125. Macy couldn't believe that this day was here. All her life ever since she found out that she had slept with a stranger and got pregnant, she never thought that she would ever get a man to love her but here she was.Not only did this man love her but was also the father of her child-ren.She followed Richard's footsteps until they came to the raised dais where her brother, Asher, May, Mel and Jared were standing.For the first time ever, Macy got to see May in a flowing dress.She had always seen May with leather pants or jeans pants and leather jackets. But now, she really looked like a girl.Macy stood on the left side of Richard where she was directed and they faced the people.She hadn't gotten the time to look at this place since they obviously had got there at night and she hadn't gone around since, well, she was getting ready for this.The hall wasn't as big and she even didn't know that they were on an island but she felt the waves hit rocks and she, at first, thought that
124. Life is a blessing and we only have one of it. In this life, we have plenty of challenges and heartbreaking events that we at times feel like we won't be able to move on from but as long as we have theones we love right beside us it makes it all worth it.One of life's gifts is finding someone you can share the rest of your life with, someone who will be there for you through thick and thin and love you for who you arenot what you have.Richard had found such a person who was currently lying in his arms. He wanted nothing more but to spend the rest of his life with this woman and no one else. As he lay on the bed his gaze lingered on Macy with a hard to describe smile on his face. He couldn't believe that he had been this lucky.He also smiled when he remembered when he was drugged by his brother. He almost killed his brother but now, he was happy and he would even reward Asher with the latest Tesla that he had been asking for.They had arrived at his uncle's villa on the Indi
123. “Mom, hurry up, we have to leave," Mel hurried her mother who was still getting ready. It wasn't that Macy wasn't ready it was just that she had just been informed by her man that they were leaving in an hour's time and they were going for a vacation. “What should I carry? Why didn't you tell me at least yesterday and I would have gotten ready!" She had complained wondering where to start. “Don't worry about that. It was a surprise and we already packed for you. All we want is for you to go with us," he has said and the children had beamed. “Yes ma, just wear something and let's leave. This will be my first vacation with my real family," Jared had urged and that was how Macy had found herself getting ready and now, she was wondering what to wear because she had even forgotten to ask where they were going. “Where are we going again? What do I wear?" She shouted from her bedroom and Richard shouted back, “just wear anything. One of those cute dresses of yours.” "Yes mama. The
122. Since Macy said yes to marrying Richard and they got their boy back, Richard had become like Macy's second cloth.He would be wherever she was and if he wasn't lying on her if she was sitting, he would be touching her here and there provided he could feel her.He even spent his days in the studio watching her film but Macy didn't mind although people started talking.For the first time, the mysterious first son of the Armstrong family started showing up in public.This clingy behaviour went on for a month though it wasn't as severe as before. He stopped following a lot but he would casually send cute texts and pictures whenever they were apart.All of a sudden, the ice cube who had no social media accounts created them and shared with the world that he was the happiest man alive.His IG moments were always filled with things like 'My Beautiful fiancè made me breakfast today #inlove' followed by a picture. Sometimes it was random pictures of Macy doing the most regular of things
121. Did you guys hear? The dark angel was finally picked up by the police.For real? Where? I wish I was there and I would have thrown the first stone.Bitch doesn't deserve jail. She deserves hell.I pity the women she will share a cell with. She might off them.Some people like her deserve Azkaban.Oh, only if Harry Potter wasn't fictional.This one doesn't deserve death. Let her suffer in jail for years and years.Lawwd! Why am I not the judge.Guys, y'all here talking about the dark angel and none of you pities the girl whose life she destroyed.Upstairs. You forgot her husband. Poor fella.If he needs a wife, yours truly is here.Upstairs… *laugh emoji* keep dreaming. If I were him, I would be running at the sight of women. Baaaad news! Upstairs: *gun emoji* *grenade emoji*Those and more were the snippets of conversation going on in the new account someone opened on Facebook dedicated solely to bashing Angela.She had been picked by the police the day after Doctor Maxwell con
"A wedding?" Ash asked, low-set ginger brows furrowing even deeper."Why so fast?" He shouted this time."A wedding," Richard said with a slow grin,and a collective set of gasps filled theair. "I'm gonna marry her on the thirtyfirst this month. I want to belong to her, legally. I want to say those vows you see in movies, to give her not just my mind and body and heart, but the very essence of my soul. I want to give it all since I'm in this relationship for the forever haul.""Er, a-a-actually, uh," Kyle stammered, looking flustered, "well, um... y-yeah,we could do that. But don't you think that we could give my sister some time to prepare? She is a girl and they tend to want everything to be meticulous," he said and they all looked at him.Dinner had been eaten and now, then men were in the pool room playing pool whole the women were somewhete catching up.Richard had just dropped the bomb that he wanted to marry Macy by the end of the month which was like a week and a few day
