We don’t know where Charlotte is kept. So, the best thing is for us to go there in a disguised way,” Logan said. “I think Logan is right, boss. We should go there in a friendly manner so that we can easily know Charlotte’s hideout,” Dickson said. “You two are right. Dickson, you and Jeremy should stay inside the car, while Logan and me go to the palace,” Charles said. “ Alright, boss,” Dickson and Jeremy said. “Please, ensure you wind up the glasses,” Charles said.

Charlotte, why are you not talking?” Xavier said. “I am shocked because I have never seen these faces before,” Charlotte said, and fixed her gaze completely on the gangsters. “Mr. Aegeus, but you said you are professor MacPherson’s friend?” Xavier said and gazed at Charles and Logan’s faces simultaneously. Charles smiled and said, “I don’t blame Charlotte for not knowing us, since we visit professor MacPherson on rare occasions…” “The professor MacPherson I know is exposed, so I know all his friends,” Charlotte said. “I don’t seem to understand what’s going on here again?” Xavier said. “Just calm down, sir; Charlotte will definitely come around,” Logan said. “Do you work in professor MacPherson’s workplace?” Charlotte said and gazed at Charles’ face. “Professor MacPherson’s workplace? No; we are bu

Charlotte used one of her palms to clean her face and said, “If you are here to rescue me as you have said, please, hide the guns.” Charles and Logan smiled and they hid their guns. “Someone is knocking on the door, boss,” Logan said frightfully. “I can hear the sound too; we need to be courageous,” Charles said as he gazed at Logan’s face. “Alright, boss,” Logan said. The gangsters removed their guns from their pockets and the threesome sauntered towards the entryway. “You have to be calm, Charlotte,” Logan said when the threesome got to the first room. They walked towards the entryway and Charles opened the door gently. As soon as Charles opened the door, they could see Lucas standing in front of them. Logan pointed the gun at Lucas and shot him.

You should be asleep by now,” Charles said as he walked towards the sitting room. “Welcome, dad,” Luca said after he had managed to take his gaze off the television screen. “Thank you, Luca,” Charles said. He sat down and Margaret sat close to him on the couch. “Peyton, can’t you see me?” Charles said with a low tune. Peyton glimpsed at the wall clock and said, “It’s 9:48 pm already and you just walked into this house.” “At least, you should ask where I am coming from,” Charles said with a smile. “Alright, where are you coming from?” Peyton said and fixed her gaze on Charles’ face. “One of our colleagues at my place of work gave birth to a set of twins after waiting for almost three years. So, the birth of the twins was commemorated with a night party today,” Charles said. “So, you are coming from a night party?” Peyton said. “Yeah, Peyton; I am

When Charles got to the entryway, he used one hand to clutch the bowl and he used the other hand to pull the door. He exited the dining room and walked towards the kitchen. When Charles got to the kitchen, he placed the empty bowl on the table and walked out of the kitchen. When Charles got to the sitting room, he walked towards the refrigerator and opened it. He took out a bottle of chilled water and a mug and closed the refrigerator back. “It’s high time we went to bed,” Charles said as he walked towards the couches. “Just give us some minutes, dad,” Luca said with a glare. Charles stood beside the table, he opened the bottle and poured a little chilled water into the mug he was clutching. He covered the bot

I will make sure I come home on time so that I can keep you company,” professor MacPherson said. “Alright, dad,” Ayla said. “Ensure you tidy up the clutter,” professor MacPherson said. “Alright, dad; I will,” Ayla said. “I am off to my workplace now,” professor MacPherson said and stood up from the couch. “Have a nice day, dad,” Ayla said. “Have a nice day too, Ayla,” professor MacPherson said.

He walked towards the entryway and knocked on the door twice. Magdalene, who had been resting on one of the couches, heard the knock coming from the door; she stood up from the couch and walked towards the entryway. “Welcome, lover boy,” Magdalene said as soon as she opened the door. “Thank you, Magdalene,” Willy said with a smile. He closed the door and held Magdalene’s right hand. “I guess you had a nice time at the plaza?” Magdalene said as the twosome sauntered towards the couches. “Yes, I did; but the stagflation is nothing to write home about,” Willy said. “We will surely come over it,” Magdalene said. Willy supported Magdalene to sit down and they both sat down on a couch. “I am shocked you came back from antenatal care on time today,” Willy said and gazed at Magdalene’s face. Magdalene smile

At least, you will be able to meet up with the appointment,” Mason said. “You are right; I promise not to stay long,” professor MacPherson said as he gazed at Mason’s face. “Alright, professor; we will be waiting for your return,” Mason said and clutched his briefcase. He opened the door and alighted from the car. Mason faced leftwards and started hiking home. Professor MacPherson wound up the glasses and started the car. He glimpsed at the dashboard, controlled the steering wheel and the car moved away gently. When Professor MacPherson got to the front of the uncompleted building, he gazed at his wristwatch and said, “It’s 5:12 pm already.” He removed his pair of eyeglasses from his briefcase, put on the eyeglasses and opened the door.
