Janise was shocked to hear what her husband just said.“Babe?” She looked at him.With an emotionless face, the husband looked back at her and said “I’ve loved you since the moment I laid my eyes on you and to make sure we one day ended up together I put in so much effort to be the one you want. Did you think I wouldn’t notice when you started acting differently?”“What?” Janise’s eyes blinked rapidly.“For the past couple of months, I’ve had a feeling that you were going through something, so while I waited for you to open up to me about it, I just stayed back and observed. Never in a million years would I imagine that you changed because you became someone who would do something so terrible to someone else” the husband said to her then he looked at Chef Ronaldo.“While I was keeping an eye on her, I noticed that there was something strange with our family’s safe. For some reason, she who had never once used it, started going to it on a regular, so though I’m not a hundred percent su
Alexander and Kevin went inside and Alexander did a little look around the room.Just like the rest of the house, it wasn’t an exceptional-looking room and Alexander started to wonder what Janise had done with all that money she got from Chef Ronaldo.Since she very well couldn’t use it in ways that her husband would be aware of so what did she do with it?“This way,” Kevin said, taking Alexander’s attention away from his observation of the room.“Okay,” the young multimillionaire replied then followed Kevin to one side of the room.‘A painting. So I’m guessing that the safe of behind this’ Alexander crossed his arms and thought as both of them stood in front of a realistic portrait of a landscape.Kevin grabbed the sides of the painting and raised it from the hook it was hung on.He set the painting on the side and both men stared at the wall safe. Kevin looked at Alexander and said “If you don’t mind”“Sure” Alexander replied then looked away.“Thanks,” Kevin said then stepped clos
First of all, I’d like to apologize for the lack of chapters for the past month and two weeks. I won’t lie or make any excuse as to why that is and I’ll only tell the truth. The truth is I wasn’t making anything substantial from this book and it had been going on like that for a long time but seeing the views, although little, gave me motivation to keep writing. Two months before I stopped writing I saw that I barely got any views or promotion from the platform so I took a couple of days to rest and try and fall in love with the story again. A couple of days turned to weeks to months and you get the rest. During that time I went to find a job that’ll give me something to live by and I’m happy to say that I have and now I’ve fallen in love with the story again and would like to continue. I’ve already written a couple of chapters, about to finish the blackmail arc and start a new one. All that’s left is to go through everything I’ve written, edit, and start uploading. Upload starts
Alexander and Kevin walked down the corridor leading to the staircase and just as they were a few feet away from it, Alexander’s enhanced hearing kicked in.He began to hear the conversation being had between Chef Ronaldo and Janise downstairs.Alexander groaned at how personal the conversation seemed then not wanting to invade their privacy he decided to stop listening. He also wasn’t interested in the conversation as all he cared about was finishing his mission from the gods of vengeance and possession, so he decreased the range of his hearing to that of a normal person. He and Kevin got to the top of the stairs and he took his focus to the countdown timer again, this time having a foreboding feeling as they started walking down the stairs.‘Just one more thing to do and the mission is complete. Nothing stupid better happen in the last minute—‘ Alexander thought but was cut off by what he saw in the living room.He saw Chef Ronaldo on the floor and Janice pointing the gun at him.
Alexander knew that even if his hands were taped together behind his back, he had the joint flexibility to take his arms over his head and return them to his front then the strength to rip the tape apart in a fraction of a second.“No problem” Alexander shrugged then did what Kevin asked.Kevin went behind Alexander and taped his hands together.“Make sure it’s tight and he can’t get out of it. I’ll be checking what you did after you’re done with both of them.” Janice instructed and Kevin halted.He looked at Alexander and said “Sorry”Alexander, who knew that the man wasn’t taping his wrists that tightly before, chuckled and said “You tried” Kevin went ahead to tighten the tape around Alexander’s wrist then he tore it from the rest of the roll.“You’re done with him? Alright, do the same for Ronald” Janice said and Kevin did what she wanted.He taped Chef Ronaldo’s arms behind his back like he did Alexander then he tore it from the rest of the roll. Janice used the gun to instruct
“My answer is still no. I work in construction, which is a job where my life is at risk every single day. That scares me a lot more than the thought of you shooting me because I know it’s not going to happen” Kevin said and Janice frowned.“You don’t want to listen then you leave me no choice” Janice said then pointed the gun at Kevin’s stomach.“Don’t it Genevieve!” Chef Ronaldo yelled while Alexander sat in silence and contemplated how he was going to turn the situation around.He looked at the countdown timer and there was still a lot of time left but it made him worry because, like he thought before, the time was too much.Clearly, the gods of vengeance and possession knew that something like this would happen, hence why they gave him such a massive time allowance to begin with.Now, the question was, does the fact that there were still hours left in the countdown timer mean that something even more bad was going to happen?Alexander started to get impatient and wondered if he sho
Now that she believed that they were all lying to her and that there was no way of getting out of the situation peacefully, she felt like her back was against the wall.Any small mistake and she could snap which is very dangerous because she had a deadly weapon in her hand.Not being able to predict what she would do, Kevin walked to the side to get the roll of sticky tape he had thrown away. While he did that, Janice pointed the gun at Alexander.“So you like acting like you have a lot of money to give out, huh? Well, let’s see just how deep your pockets are. You’re going to wire ten million dollars into the account I’ll give you and if you refuse, you’ll know what a bullet feels like” Janice said and both Kevin and Chef Ronaldo jolted.Again, Alexander was unfazed. “Ten million dollars?! Genevieve, have you lost your mind?!” Chef Ronaldo exclaimed.“Yes, I have. That amount of money would be more than enough to take care of me for the rest of my life. Besides, take a look at the b
