The guards came in with a laptop, and Diane instructed them to play the footage of the day when the incident occurred. The guards didn’t hesitate as their fingers were clicking against the keyboard.They finally found the video, a large projector was brought into the room, and they played the video and all eyes were fixated on the screen.Diane’s eyes widened in extreme shock when she noticed she had accused the wrong person. She was mute and couldn’t utter a word.“What!!” Mrs. Abigail Carter said with her weak voice.Veronica’s cry slowed, she crawled with her knees towards Ryan. “Thank you, sir, You saved my life. You are not only a healer but a saviour, “ she said with gratitude.Diane faces the first lady who claims to have seen Veronica giving drugs to Mrs. Abigail. Diane’s eyes were blazing in fire and her fist was clenched. She slapped her, and the maid staggered backwards. “ How dare you, Why are you this wicked? You were the one behind this and you accused Veronica.” She sa
It was a call from Elizabeth Brian, Ryan picked up the call. And he spoke out.“Hello, Ryan. I am sorry for bothering you but we need to see it’s important.” “What could that be, you can tell me on the phone,” Ryan said.“No, this is not something we can discuss on the phone. We need to meet, I will send you the location where we will meet,” she said. Before terminating the call in a hurry.Ryan was shocked, “what could be so important that she couldn’t discuss on the phone.” He said in a low tone.His phone screen lit up and a message notification popped on the top of his screen. He glanced at it and it was the location where they were supposed to meet.He took the car key and drove himself there without his driver or his butler, Ryan drove through the bustling city. It took him ten minutes to drive before he got to the location that was sent to him.Ryan walked into the restaurant, his eyes roaming around in search of Elizabeth, he remembered her sending him the seat number she ha
Without hesitation, Ryan grabbed Elizabeth by her arms and pulled her close to himself in just a nick of time. The car zoomed past them, missing both Ryan and Elizabeth by a mere inches. The tyres screeching against the pavements. The driver stopped looking through the rearview mirror, he hit the steering wheel in disappointment and zoomed off immediately, when he noticed the restaurant security was coming closer to him. He had failed to hit his target.“Stop him, Stop him,” Ryan screamed at the security to stop the driver but he was too fast. Ryan narrowed his eyes as he took note of the car’s license number. He crammed the number into his memory, as he was determined to report or find the reckless driver.The driver drove out of sight before the guards could spring into action.Elizabeth breathed heavily. “ Oh my goodness, Ryan. That was so close. I was almost hit by that car.” She said with a shaky voice “Are you okay?”. Ryan asked.“Yes, I am fine.” She responded, her hands plac
It was a new day and a busy one, as everyone was moving fast and going to their various destinations.Ryan Baker was in his room, he sat with his leg crossed on a meditation cushion with his eyes closed and his breath deeply and steady. With each inhale, he drew a positive energy and clarity of mind. As he meditates, his thoughts begin to drift and his mind becomes clearer. Ryan’s spirit was uplifted and he felt a deep connection to the universe.After several moments, he opened his eyes. He sighed in relief while exhaling through his mouth. Ryan got up from the cushion and he quickly moved into the bathroom to do the needful.He got dressed in a navy blue suit, had his breakfast and left his mansion to work. He arrived at the entrance of the building, Ryan alighted from the car after the guard parted the car door open for him.He was greeted by his staff and he didn’t fail to reciprocate their greetings with a warm smile. He could hear some of his workers murmur within themselves ab
Ryan furrowed his eyebrow with confusion and concern, as he ambled inside his office. He noticed the tense atmosphere, his glance at his butler Nicolas and his secretary Susan“Nicolas, Susan, what is going on here? Why are you two standing and what’s the argument about.” He said in concern with his arm crossed above his chest.Nicolas and Susan both uttered a speech at the same time and Ryan glared at them angrily. “What are you two trying to do? One at a time.” “Nicolas, what happened?” Ryan asked.Nicolas cleared his throat, and he turned towards his young master with a grave expression as he began to explain the situation.“Young master, when I walked into your office. I saw your secretary, Susan, tampering with your coffee. I caught her adding something to your coffee.” Nicolas’s voice was firm and steady.Ryan’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief, and Mrs. Juliet furrowed her brow. She and Ryan exchanged glances at each other in confusion.“What did she add to his coffee?” Mr
Ryan could feel something strange about everything, he still believes his butler Nicolas. So he decided to do something to keep Susan busy, so she would not leave the office. “He has apologized to you and everything indicated that you were telling the truth.” He said while he moved towards Nicolas. He blinked his eyelids twice. “Why did you accuse her?” He asked. Mrs. Juliet tapped Susan back, “Sorry for doubting you, Susan.” She said,“Susan, you can go back to your office. Wait before I forget.” He said.Ryan walked towards his drawer and brought out a file, he turned and handed it to Susan. “I want you to work on this report for me, you made some errors and you should correct it. I want it corrected and brought back to my office in the next two hours.” He said with a smile.Susan nodded her head softly, returning the smile, as she collected the file. “Okay sir,” she responded.Susan felt weak, she had just been trapped by her boss from escaping. She moved towards the exit door,
The medical team rushed in to carry Susan’s body out of the building, some staff pleaded with their boss to help but he refused to listen to any of their words. The staff looks with fear and concern as the atmosphere of the office becomes charged with tension. The police chief and his team arrived at the building, the chief walked towards Ryan, they shook hands and Ryan walked him into his office, where the chief sat across his desk.The police chief brought out his jolter, he moved his chair forward and cleared his throat. “Mr. Ryan, we heard what happened at the building today. Can you please tell me everything that happened? He asked.Ryan sighed heavily, letting air out of his mouth as he prepared to spill out the truth. He was still shocked by everything that happened. “ My secretary Susan. I discovered She tampering with my coffee. I was in a business meeting which I asked her to reschedule, which she failed to do. I instructed her to get me coffee, and keep it on my desk for m
“I have a bigger plan than you can even imagine but for now we won’t have to slow down until after the police investigation. We can’t risk being caught and we need to study Ryan’s movements before we strike again.” Joseph said in a furious tone.Reuben nodded in understanding, he felt disappointed after the death of Susan. While Joseph sat down, he gulped Reuben’s drink at once. With a deep breath, he leaned back on the seat.“I can’t let him get away with this, he will pay for what he has done. Not just him but his butler as well.” Joseph said.Reuben thought for a while after which he leaned forward, “How about we find a way to get his butler out of the way first before we go take on Ryan? Our plans failed twice because of him.” Reuben suggested.Joseph furrowed his brow, he inhaled deeply. “What do you mean,” he questioned.Reuben cleared his throat. “You are the senior butler of the Bakers family and you have the right to remove any butler you want and bring in a new one.
