Gary had been sitting on a bench at the park, enjoying the cool breeze and the chirping of the birds. It was a peaceful day, and he was lost in his thoughts when he had overheard two men sitting a few feet away from him. All they said was a surprise to him because he had heard two things from their words.They mentioned Carter and they also mentioned ZR Biotech. At least if Gary knew nothing more which they said, those two words especially were all fitting in suspiciously."...and that's when we got the call. They said to lay low until further notice," one of the men said, his voice hushed but audible to Gary.Gary's ears perked up at the mention of laying low. What did it mean?"...the old man's grandson could be a problem," another voice chimed in.Gary's heart began to race. He was the old man's grandson. What was going on? He looked around nervously, trying to assess if the men were looking at him or if they knew he was listening to them."...we'll have to keep an eye on him," the
Gary watched as the man handed over the pendant, his heart racing with excitement. The piece of jewellery was exquisite, a glittering gold chain adorned with a diamond-encrusted pendant that sparkled in the light. He could hardly believe that a mere necklace could amount to something reasonable as getting connected to murder.Truth be told, he had always watched stuff like that on the TV but never seen such in real life before. Witnessing this was kind of a situation, let alone being a victim in the situation.Everything was still a mystery yet to be unravelled before him.However, a sudden realisation hit him before he turned to leave. He suddenly realised that he had forgotten to ask for his name. He hesitated for a moment, then called out, walking as fast as he could to meet up with the man."Wait up please! I didn't catch your name."The man turned back to face him, a faint smile on his lips. "It's not important," he said. "Just enjoy the pendant. As I said earlier, I hope it offer
Earlier on…..Ariel was sitting in her living room. Of course she has a day off from the hospital and she should at least chill out for a while.As regards the number which had been on her neck for sometime as regards poisoning Gary, fate seemed to have taken that also off her path for some time now.So she could at least enjoy her sanity.However, she was scrolling through her phone, trying to surf through the internet for fun.Her phone on her right, and a cup of cappuccino on the left. She seemed so into the fun, obviously smiling, without a real understanding of whatever is coming next. Perhaps if she knew, she would have spent her day with the right person, and not buying time with social media. However, all the smiles suddenly disappeared in a jiffy when her phone rang. She glanced at the screen, and her heart sank as she saw the strange number that had been on her trail for quite some time. You could as well say her heart jumped to her throat when she saw the strange number.
"Mr Steve, Ariel is dead." Tom was quick to inform him as regards the latest development.Tom was even quick to conclude that he had seen another body alongside Ariel's body and at that point, he could easily conclude that she was murdered alongside her son.At that point, Tom did feel pity for her, but the deed had already been done, there was no way she could be saved anymore."Ariel is dead?' Steve reinstated to clarify his fears."Yes, young master… Ariel is really dead.""Not just her, I also saw the body of a young body being carried out too. So I'm guessing she was killed alongside her son.""Perhaps, all along, she was being blackmailed using her son as a means of weapon.""Yes, exactly as I thought Mr Steve." Tom said pitifully."Wow, this is a great loss, this wasn't part of the plan either. I think the perpetrator is beginning to know that people are on his trail.""I think the same as well. The perpetrator felt unsafe and decided to take her off the line." Tom explained mor
Just the moment Steve left, Gary remained seated in his study, staring at the second part of the pendant necklace that was still a mystery to him. I hope this necklace brings you some closure as regards your grandfather's death. I hope you find the culprit. Those words echoed right in Gary's head as though the person was just right there before him.A mystery was yet to be unravelled and Gary was feeling impatient about it already.But then he couldn't shake off the feeling that he had seen it before. As he held it in his hand, flashes of familiarity flooded his mind, but he couldn't quite place it.Suddenly, he remembered seeing the necklace on somebody's neck, but he couldn't tell who. He thought of all the people he had met recently, but he couldn't recall anyone wearing it. The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became.Then, an idea struck him. Maybe he should go in disguise as though he were looking for a job at ZR Biotech. As that was the closest place he had eve
Gary immediately left the building, with a relieved feeling that his workday was finally over, since he had something important. But then as he was walking towards his car, he suddenly heard a voice from behind him."Fools are not supposed to be in a company like this," the voice said. Gary turned around to see who it was and was surprised to see Raphael, dressed up in a bespoke suit and standing there with a sneer on his face.For a while, Gary was muted. He could only say less words. "You heard me right Gary. Fooks aren't supposed to be here?"At that point, Gary also stood firm and said. "What are you doing here, Raphael?" Gary asked, trying to keep his cool."If you will wish you know, my company partner with this company," Raphael replied, his voice dripping with contempt. "And I don't appreciate you showing your face around here, especially after what you did to my sister.""Your sister! What I did to your sister! Or what your sister and your family as a whole did to me!" Gary
Gary nervously entered Winifield's office, wearing a fake moustache and glasses, hoping his disguise would be enough to conceal his true identity. Winifield also welcomed him warmly and invited him to take a seat. Earlier on while the receptionist was about to send a call to Winifield, she had asked for his name and he had claimed the name Wellington without thinking twice and without remorse either.She had agreed to that and immediately introduced him as that."So, Mr Wellington, what brings you to our company?" Winifield asked with miles across his lips.At first, Gary had realised that there was no form of suspicion, however, he was still on the lookout. He cleared his throat and tried to steady his nerves. "Well, I'm an investor, and… I've heard several things and made my findings about your company. And in all, I realised that your company is proficient, and therefore, I am interested in investing in your company."Winifield raised an eyebrow. Truth be told he was taken by those
Gary found just exactly what he was looking for in the top drawer, after several efforts put into the search for the materials.It was the same necklace he needed to get, and it was flashing right before his eyes.He reached out to touch the necklace, marvelling at how cool the metal felt against his skin. The diamonds glittered in the light, sending shimmering reflections dancing across the walls of the store.For a moment, Gary was lost in admiration of the necklace. He imagined how it would look around his neck, how it would catch the eye of everyone in the room. And then, with a sigh, he tore his gaze away and stepped back from the display case.As he made his way back out onto the street, Gary couldn't help but glance back at the store window. The necklace still sparkled in the light, a dazzling reminder of the beauty that could be found in the world.He breathed a sigh of relief and was about to pick it up when he heard footsteps approaching.Quickly, Gary closed the drawer, hur
