“There are few people.” Kelvin voices out.“Who are they,” Ryan asked, his expression darkened and his patience wearing thin.“I don’t know his name but I know he owned a company.” He mouthed.Kelvin is beginning to reveal some truth. He took a deep breath, steeling himself for what was coming next.“Which company?” “I heard he is the CEO of Evergreen Realty Real Estate company.”Ryan stood still, he gazed at Mickey and Nicolas before he shifted his gaze back to Kelvin.“You mean Yannick Sebastian,” Ryan asked, his voice barely above a whisper.Kelvin shook his head in response. “ Yes sir, Yannick Sebastian. That’s his name I remember now.” “What else, is he the only person?”“No” he shook his head intermittently. “ It was planned, the manager of Veto Garden Hotel was also part of this. He was paid by Yannick to remove the CCTV footage from the room and to destroy other CCTV footage. I was only hired to do the job.” Ryan was boiling deeply in anger, he clenched his fist. Grabbing K
“Breaking news, just in. Yannick Sebastian, the CEO of Evergreen Realty Real Estate company, has been declared wanted by the police. It was stated by the Chief of Police after the investigation earlier that he was behind the attack against Ryan Baker. According to the report, he was said to be unhappy with the progress of the rival company. Another report, also stated that Yannick Sebastian and a few other persons were behind the leaked video against Miss Bella Baker.Authorities are urging anyone with information on his whereabouts to come forward.”Yannick grabbed the remote from the table and turned off the television. His eyes widened in shock and his face turned pale as he realised the gravity of the situation. Both men look equally alarmed.“How did they find out so quickly about the leaked video?” Alfred promptly asked.“I have no idea, have you tried connecting with Kelvin and Nathaniel Bill,” Yannick said, with his voice barely above a whisper.“I have tried contacting them
Ryan raised his hand to interrupt his statement, his expression stern.“Save your denial, Nathaniel Bill. We have evidence linking your involvement against her. Your hotel was used as a base of operation, and you got paid to turn a blind eye to their activities.” Ryan stated with his eyes blazing in fury.Nathaniel Bill knew he had been caught in a precarious situation, his composure wavering as the weight of Ryan's words sank deep into his heart.“I swear, I don't know what you are talking about. I have never been involved in such a case.” He said while trying to avoid eye contact with Ryan.“You are accusing me wrongly and I wouldn't mind taking legal action against it,” Nathaniel added.Ryan unleashed an evil grin on his lips, “You want to take legal action against me.” He asked.“I would like you to take the bold step if you can but if you can't consider yourself gone,” Ryan said.He turned towards Mickey's directions, “ Bring him in.” He instructed.Nathaniel Bill stares at them
Nathaniel Bill breathed in and out l, with a saddened demeanour and he voiced out. “ I was hired by Yannick Sebastian and his friend, they paid me to use a suite here and to delete the CCTV footage as well. So it would be difficult for anyone to trace the people involved in the video leaked against Bella Baker, I agreed out of greed and selfishness. I am sorry for my behaviour, I shouldn’t have agreed to such, please forgive me.” He said with his voice filled with embarrassment and regrets.The staff and guests in the lobby all echoed in shock and disbelief, they felt disappointed after hearing what the manager had spilled out of his mouth.Nathaniel maintained a downward gaze knowing he had been videoed by some of the guests in the lobby. They had known the manager to be a gentle and respectful person, not the other way around. Nathaniel Bill felt a surge of embarrassment washing over his face.His expression was mixed with frustration and shame, the owner of the hotel, Mr. Owen Woo
Yannick and Alfred watched as Ryan entered his car and drove behind the police officer. “Damn.” He yelled.Ryan thinks he can get away with anything, you will get what is coming to you. I will not rest until I see you fall.” He blurted out with his fist clenched.His hatred for Ryan was fueled by his determination to take him down no matter the cost*********It’s been weeks and no response on the whereabouts of Yannick Sebastian and Alfred Charlton. But the police were not giving up the same as Ryan. Bella was able to get back most of her lost contracts and she was accepted to start her modelling work again.It was a free day for her and she was sitting at home scrolling through her phone, liking and commenting on a few posts she had tagged on her social media account, when her phone rang out, a call from an unknown person and she answered it with a hint of curiosity in her voice.“Hello,” she voice into the call.“Hello, Bella. It’s me, Chelsea. I need to talk to you about somethin
“You can't get him, he is too big for the both of you to handle. Your plans have failed even before you started.” Bella blurted out.Yannick moved closer to her, “My plan is just getting started, I will make your family pay.”“You and that bastard behind you know you can't do anything to my family. You will pay if anything happens to me,” she uttered.Yannick giggled uncontrollably, he was unfazed by Bella's threat. He was about to utter a word when Bella spat at his face. Yannick slapped her angrily while he used his handkerchief to wipe his face.“We will see about Ryan and your family, but in the meantime make yourself comfortable. You are going to be here for a while until we think of what to do with you.” Yannick mouthed as he moved closer to his friends, tapping his shoulder before he ambled away.Meanwhile, Bella's driver traced the van and stopped at a distance from where the men drove the van. His eyes were fixed at the gate to the house. He was contemplating, “Who should I
After he was done conversing with his inner spirit, he was moved to take a step. He ambled towards the men standing close to the gate.“I want to see your boss,” Ryan said with a serious tone, his expression was mixed with seriousness.The guards stare at him surprisingly, they exchange glances before switching their gaze to the man standing before them.“I want to see your boss, tell whoever it is. That Ryan Baker is here to have a word with him.” Ryan uttered in an authoritative tone.The guards were still dumbfounded, they knew their boss wanted Ryan at all costs but what they didn’t fathom was how he got there and how confident he was requesting to see their boss.Ryan was alone without any guards, he didn’t inform his butler or driver when he was going out. He only informed them he was going to an important meeting.One of the guards moved fast, heading back into the building to inform their boss of the scene happening outside. Ryan could hear footsteps coming from inside after
“You humiliated my cousin, Andrew, you even posted a video of him online. You made him lose his father and everything they had worked hard for all these years.” Alfred Charlton said with his voice brimming in irritation and anger.Ryan was surprised to hear that the man standing before him was Andrew’s cousin, he knew he didn’t do anything bad but he did what was right. He remembered that fateful night when he risked his life for Andrew only for him to be betrayed by Andrew, which led to him losing his uncle Mitchell.The name Andrew increased the anger inside of Ryan, he felt a deep anger rising within him.“Andrew did a bad thing to me.” Ryan promptly said after a few moments of silence between them.“What did he do that made you humiliate him, you even sent for the police to shut down his club and made his family go bankrupt.”Alfred turned to stare at Bella, he gazed at her coldly. “We knew you loved every member of the Baker’s family and that was why we had to go through Bella,
