Thank you for reading, I love you all.
It was the third day, the atmosphere seemed cool and calm, Claudia was happy that her grandfather didn't say anything about bringing Moore to the house anymore, on the other hand, she was sad that he didn't say anything at all, not even a word about it. "Mum, do you think Dad has forgotten about everything?." Claudia asked her Mum who was sitting beside her on the sofa. "I don't know my child, I'm afraid for you what if he decides to do something else, one thing is certain, he hasn't forgotten about it. Just prepare your mind about what will come." Georgia stated and took a deep breath. Claudia and her Mum started hearing footsteps coming from the staircase. They knew who it was before tilting their neck towards that direction. Derek and Alfred were in the middle of a conversation but they couldn't hear anything because of the distance. "Since you ve gotten everything you needed, then go and do the needful." Derek said, that was what they could hear since they've finished climbing
After a few seconds his phone stopped ringing, Alfred was thankful that it went off. He turned to Moore who was trying to release himself from the chair, a small smile appeared on his face. He loves to see Moore in pain despite the fact that they haven't met before. Setting him up with Claudia felt like a good thing to him, since he doesn't like him one bit. Alfred looked at him again and smiled.Alfred never thought his grandfather would let them get married, all he thought was that Derek would no longer award the position to her, and he would hand everything over to him. After that night Derek called and told him that he would be the new managing director of the company, he was very happy although he wanted the CEO position, but he believed within a short period of time Derek will fix him there and Claudia will end up having nothing. A wicked smile escaped his lips as he thought about everything inwardly. The ring coming out from his phone distracted his thoughts. A frown appeare
Gilbert and the elder got to the restaurant, they were shocked to see how everywhere was scattered, people were still in their hiding places."What happened here?." Gilbert asked one of the waiters."Some thugs bursted into this place and went away with a guy." The waiter answered in a shaky voice. Gilbert was shocked to hear that, but didn't let the waiter notice how shocked he was."Did you perhaps recognise the guy they took with them or the face of anybody?." Gilbert asked further."The first guy is Alfred the grandson of Derek, I heard his cousin was raped by a guy few days back, I'm thinking maybe they traced it to the guy they took away, not really sure about it though." The waiter stated in a clear voice, people have started coming out of their hidden places."Thank you for the information." Gilbert appreciated it and walked away with the elder."What does that mean?." The elder who has been silent for a long time finally spoke up after they got to the car."It means Moore has
Claudia rolled on the bed sluggishly while opening her eyes,the first person she saw was Moore sleeping comfortably on the couch. "Today would be a bad day for me because of that idiot, he must be happy and excited." She muttered and rolled her eyes at him before getting up.She walked into the bathroom and came back shortly after taking her bath. She was surprised to see him still sleeping. That got her so angry that she had to walk up to him. "Hey get up." She yelled at him, but he didn't stand up. "Get up from that couch right now, I understand that you don't have a couch as beautiful and soft as this but that doesn't warrant you to destroy it with your sleeping." Claudia screamed into his ears, Moore jumped out of the bed in fright."Good morning Claudia." Moore greeted instead of exchanging words with her. He was also shocked by his attitude, at the same time, Fiona did a lot to him, so his patient was still intact.Claudia was astonished by his response, instead of him talkin
Moore walked a little bit away from the car because he knew Claudia might say something that would trigger him to reply. A smile appeared on his face when the car zoomed off.He quickly brought out his phone and dialed Gilbert's number, which he picked at the second ring."He might have been expecting my call." He thought."Hi Moore, how are you doing? Hope you weren't hurt?." Gilbert rushed the questions."I'm fine, can we meet up at a restaurant right now." Moore said in a hurry."Yes, send me the address and I will be there right now." Gilbert replied and ended the call. Moore looked around for either a restaurant or a bar. He found one three houses away by the left, then he sent the address to Gilbert.Gilbert walked into the small restaurant, before he could start searching for him, Moore had already signaled to him. "Hey Gilbert." Moore greeted when Gilbert got to him."Hope you weren't harmed?." Gilbert asked with a worried expression on his face. His memory flashed back to w
Claudia didn't say anything as she strolled to the bed while rolling her eyes at Moore continually."I need to find out why she is acting like this." Moore thought and adjusted himself properly on the sofa before speaking up."What have I done wrong this time around?." He asked in a monotone voice but she could hear him clearly."You think everything now revolves around you because grandfather supported you right? You are mistaken because I will make sure you regret ever crossing paths with me." Claudia threatened while pointing her fingers at her."Does she have to threaten me all the time? I really wish for all these to end but this is just the beginning as I would have to find the person before I file for a divorce." Moore sighed.She waited for a few seconds for Moore to reply to her but he didn't. "Keeping mute is the best thing for you to do, a kid is even better than you." She snapped before standing up then walked into the bathroom."She is a pain in my a*s, I can't even res
Moore came down from Frank's car and thanked him before walking away. He made sure Frank dropped him a few blocks away from Gilbert's company in order not to raise unnecessary suspicions. After trekking for some minutes, he finally got to the company. It was huge and beautiful, the company's name was ascribed on the upper part of the building. He walked straight to the receptionist."Good morning Miss, please where is Mr Gilbert's office?." He asked politely, the receptionist (Linda) raised her head from the laptop she was operating on, she looked at him from his head to his toes in a disgusting way. Moore began to think maybe he had stained his shirt or trousers on his way coming. He started getting uncomfortable with the stares which triggers him to speak."Is everything Miss?." He asked anxiously."Nothing is okay Mr, how can a low life like you walk in here to ask for our boss. Did you even take a look at yourself in the mirror before coming here? I guess not because a man in his
Frank opened the door and walked in. Derek was sitting on his sofa with a glass of wine on the table before him."Good evening Dad." He greeted with a bow. Derek raised up his head."Did he confess to you?." Derek asked in a deep and clear voice. He sent Frank to question Moore about the incident."No he didn't, he insisted on knowing nothing about what happened." He replied."Does he give the impression that he did it intentionally?.""He didn't father, his expression was blunt, I felt he had something troubling him, maybe Claudia did something to him." Frank explained.Derek stood up staring into an empty space. Frank has been wondering why he would support Moore at the dining yesterday."Why did you support Moore yesterday?.""How dare you question me?." Derek asked in a harsh tone. "I'm sorry Dad." He apologized immediately, Derek signaled for him to leave and he left."There is something to know about this guy which I need to know about but first I have to do something very impo
