Malika felt like her whole body was frozen on the spot, her brain was trying so much to process everything. She couldn't help but wonder how Wes had gotten this information. How was he aware of the pregnancy saga, it had not escalated, if not, it would have been all over the news. “since it didn't escalate, then someone must have told Wes about it” Malika pondered. “Are you going to say something or do you prefer standing and staring like a moron?” Wes cursed, clenching his fist in anger. Malika snapped out of her thoughts, she wanted to yell back at Wes, one thing she hated was being abused, but she knew she was in the wrong today and she needed to keep her cool. “Babe please be calm, I will explain everything to you” Malika voiced. Wes frowned “Did I just hear you say calm? I should be calm?” Wes asked sarcastically. “Yes, just let me explain, I will explain,” Malika replied. She moved forward in an attempt to hold Wes' hand but he declined, side-stepping out of the way. “Y
In the lounge area of Mr Smith, who happens to be Wes' father, there was a pool and beside the pool, three people were seated around a table including Mr Smith himself. There were three glass cups on the table and a bottle of wine. A lady who was wearing a uniform, a white top with a black bow tie and black trousers was currently pouring wine into the empty glass cups on the table. “Like I said earlier, I need to infiltrate the lance towers, and you, my friend will be the one to do that for me” Mr Smith sipped from one of the glass cups.One of the men who had a mixture of black and gray hair scoffed “How am I to do that? you know, if were to be honest with ourselves, we will all agree that the Lance Towers is the most powerful company in all of Gold City”“Oh! shut up Gerard, is that an excuse on your path?” Mr Smith frowned. “No, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it is impossible to infiltrate the Lance towers…I”
The boat had already begun to sail, it was a small boat but it had enough space to contain more people, probably up to 20 people at max. This meant that, with Damion and the rest being only six, there was enough space left. “Who wants to do some fishing?” Mr Lance announced. “I could do some of that, what do you think Bianca?” Damion asked, he turned his head to the side to look at Bianca who nodded in affirmation. “That would be fun,” Bianca replied with a nod. “What about you Bella?” Damion asked, glancing between Bella and Scott.“Sure we could,” Bella smiled “What about you Scott, would you like to try?” Bella asked with a smile. Damion could see that Bella had her fingers intertwined with that of Scott, this made his blood boil. Earlier when he saw Scott, he was mad because he didn't like the man, he was only mad because he didn't like the idea of bringing a stranger into a family hangout,
Getting to the area where he had heard Bella's scream, Damion could see Scott standing just by the edge of the boat staring into the water. “What did you do?” Damion thundered as he approached Scott. “I don't know, I wasn't quick, I wasn't looking when she tripped and fell into the sea” Scott stammered. Without stopping to listen to Scott's excuses, Damion jumped into the water, he already saw Bella struggling in the water so he quickly grabbed her and pulled her up and close to him.“It's ok I got you,” Damion said to Bella who clung to him like he was going to disappear and never return. Damion got Bella out of the water and by this time, everyone was around the scene, Bianca, Mr lance, and the sailor. “My goodness, Bella, are you ok? here take this” Mr. Lance comforted, he approached Bella and covered her with a large blanket.“How dare you?” Damion thundered as he turned to Scott, his eyes burning with anger, “You pushed her into the sea didn't you?” Damion yelled. “No, of c
Although the night was dark, Jack could still make out the shadowy figures of the people around him. He was certain that these people were four in number, they looked huge and the smallest among them was a skinny dude who was still around 6 feet tall. Jack knew there was no way he could fight these guys, so he tried so much to refrain and not fight back, allowing them to do what they wanted and leave. Jack groaned in pain as two punches landed on his face sending him to the ground. They had caught him unaware, not even giving him a chance to move or defend himself.After the first two blows, Jack was able to brace his head, allowing the rest of the blows to hit him on his body rather than his head. “What do you have with you?” one of the men yelled, his voice was thick and audible. The rest of them began to search and empty Jack's pockets, turning them in and out. They took all the cash they could find, jack was lucky he was
It was a Monday morning, and the weather was brighter and sunnier than usual. At lance towers, Mr Lance was sitting in his office busy with some paperwork. After the boat cruise, he hasn't spoken to Damion yet, somehow Mr Lance just couldn't wait for all this to be over so that Damion can reveal his true identity and take over the affairs in lance towers. The workload was becoming too much of a stress for Mr. Lance. As he sat in his office, his eyes scanning through one of her files on his desk, A knock came on the door “Come in, it's not locked” Mr Lance announced without taking his eyes off the file. The door pushed open and an average-height skinny woman walked in, she was wearing a black suit accompanied with black heels and her hair was styled into a ponytail tail, which dangled behind her as she moved. She was holding a fake in her hand. “Good day sir” the woman
Davina watched as her life flashed before her eyes, it all happened so fast, one second she was about to rescue a victim whom she thought had just been involved in a fatal accident and then in the next, she had a gun pressed to her head. “Move backward” the man behind the gun commanded as he got to his feet. “Please don't shoot, I will just get back to the car and we will leave, I will look like we have never heard, please I beg you “ Davina pleaded, she was visibly shaking. She had never had a gun pointed directly at her before, she was so scared that even the words coming out of her mouth were hard to comprehend. The man laughed like a lunatic “Look around you, do you think this is a coincidence?” Davina gently looked around and that was when she noticed that about two other men holding guns had arrived, which meant there were now four men with guns in total. Davina's eye
After the sudden call from Davina, Damion quickly spoke to the cab man, telling him to take him to a different location. Even with his new status as the assistant director of the Lance Towers, Damion still decided to continue taking cabs instead of driving his car himself. As the cab drove through the street, the weather was getting cloudy and darker with each passing minute, this was not because it was nighttime but because it was about to rain. Frightening thunderstorms could already be heard, Damion had asked Davina about all that she could see around her, he had even asked her what the outside part of the wear house looked like. With her description, it will be a little bit difficult for him to locate the place, but somehow the description of this place seemed familiar, it felt like he had seen this place before. The more he thought about it, the more familiar but felt, that was when it eventually clicked in Damion's head. He quickly brought out his phone and began going
