Vivian who has worked with Mrs. Ashley for two years no her better than anyone seated at the table.She sighed deeply, staring at Aaliyah “Sir, Mrs. Ashley’s office is equipped with security cameras. She has two safe deposit boxes in her office where she keeps her important documents. Each box had its own passcode and if input wrongly it would cause an alarm in the office.”Mrs. Ashley might be smart but let’s see if this gang is smarter than her. The room felt a little disappointed after her statement. Why would she have two safe boxes in her office, if she is not hiding anything suspicious?“What about her laptop, do you have access to it.” Nicolas inquired.“I only have access to it when it’s unlocked, everything in that office has a passcode, her office is different from every other office in the building.”“Vivian, you will need to help us access her laptop, I guess it will lead us to other useful information,” Ryan said softly.“How sir,” she asked, with her face reeling in con
Ryan quickly moved back to his seat, “Mickey, do you know the room they will be booking for the meeting?”“Yes, Mr Nolan Perry had booked room 39,” Mickey said, with his voice barely above a whisper.Ryan snapped his finger. “ Mickey, I want you to book a room close to their room, Nicolas you will get an undetected spy camera.”He nodded his head in approval. Nicolas and Mickey stared at each other, their eyes widened in surprise. Ryan hadn’t thought about such things until Mickey brought out his phone to take pictures.“Mickey, you will need to find a place to hide the camera without anyone suspecting,” Ryan said boldly.“We would leave the office two hours before the meeting to avoid any form of suspicion.”Ryan leaned back on the chair, with his hands crossed below his chest. He let out an air from his mouth, with his leg tapping on the floor repeatedly.It was already Thursday morning, 7:30 am, and Ryan was at his office doing his usual job. He kept his phone by his side to know
Mickey rearwardly turned to face his master and he voiced. “ Who was that master?” “I saw Brown while coming to the room, he booked the room opposite ours. He was with another lady.”Mickey’s eyes widened in surprise, he shook his head. “ Did he see you,”“No.”What if Ryan hadn’t disguised himself, he would have been recognised by Brown and it would have spoiled the mission. “I thought he was getting married to Victoria, What is he doing with another lady?”Ryan shrugged, “ let’s focus on our mission here.” Ryan said.They both sat down as they awaited the results of their covert operation.Mickey handed Ryan an extra Headphone, which he placed on the couch. Ryan looked through the window as he waited for Mrs. Ashely.********Back at the office*Mrs. Ashley was seated in her seat, she had received a reminder message from Nolan Perry about the meeting but this time Nolan informed her that the meeting had been shifted from 1 pm to 2:30 pm because he had an important business meetin
“I don’t have any plans for him, it’s left for the boss to decide,” Ashley said, furrowing in irritation.They continue with their conversation, whilst Ryan and Mickey pay close attention to every word and plan they are making. “Mr. Thawatchai, when do you intend to go back to Thailand?” Mrs. Ashley promptly asked.“I will be going back by the weekend,” Mr. Thawatchai retorted.“I want to believe the files are safe with you, don’t make any mistakes. I will forward some documents for you before the weekend.” Mrs. Ashley said firmly. They were through with the meeting, and every one of them was getting ready to depart. Mrs. Ashley was the first to leave the room, she gripped her bag and ambled towards the room exits.Whilst at the office, Vivian saw the perfect time to search Mrs. Ashley’s office. The laptop was unlocked but she would need extra help to avoid being caught on camera.She texted Jimmy and Nicolas, “Guys, I need your help, the laptop is unlocked and Mrs. Ashley has gone
Vivian's heart pounded fast, as she stared at Mrs. Ashley's face. She was unable to utter a word. Her face turned pale, her hands trembling under the desk. Her thoughts were disturbed, but she yanked it off immediately so as not to arouse suspicion.“I asked, what are you doing there?” Mrs. Ashley blurted angrily.Her heart sank into her stomach.Her eyes found her pen on the floor, she quickly composed herself.“Nothing ma’am. I was looking for my pen.” “Is that why you couldn't talk? Vivian, I have told you time without numbers, you need to sit up. I have been standing here for some minutes and you didn't notice me. What were you thinking?”“Nothing ma'am.”Mrs. Ashley shook her head and voiced out, “Come to my office, right now.”“Okay, Ma’am.” Vivian retorted as she trailed behind Mrs. Ashley who majestically walked towards her office. Inputting her passcode which Vivian already knows.Mrs. Ashley ambled inside and placed her waist on her chair. closing her eyes as she breathed
He hissed in irritation after getting to know what was inside the envelope, it was a wedding invitation card. With a sigh of annoyance that is the last thing he wants to deal with right now.The wedding of Brown Baker and Victoria Forster.His mind races through the important tasks he has been preparing for. He felt a surge of frustration at the prospect of having to attend yet another social event, the last time he attended an event he was attacked if not because of his good martial arts skills he would have been dead or might still be in the hospital bed receiving some treatment.With a flick of his wrist, he tossed the card aside, irritation growing with each moment that passed by. Not when it is from the two people he dislikes.Nicolas’s face was completely blank, he couldn’t fathom the reason why his master wouldn’t want to attend his cousin’s Wedding invitation.“Young master, if you don’t attend the wedding your grandfather will be angry, same as your mother and the family memb
Brown was seated in his car with Reuben, they parked outside of the Royal Flush casino. It was Reuben’s idea to visit the Casino, and they both alighted from the car with two security guards behind them and sauntered towards the casino entrance.Before them were two hefty guards, who were guarding the casino, both had a scary look. They seek to meet the casino boss Juan Pablo Ramirez, the casino guard rolled his eyes as he gazed at them.“We are here to see your boss,” Brown said with a low voice.“Who are you and do you have an appointment with him.” The security guard asked.“Yes, tell him it’s Brown Baker.”The guards dialled his boss’s number and after a few moments, he walked them towards his boss’ office. They pass through the crowd, the air thick with the scent of smoke and conversation, distinct and indistinct chatting from the game floor.Getting to Juan Pablo’s office, the guards landed a soft knock on the door, he went in before the men. Coming back to usher them into Juan’
“Hello, Grandfather.” “Ryan, where are you? How would you leave today without informing anyone?” Mr. Caleb screamed with his voice filled with anger and disbelief.“I just got notified by Nicolas, he told me you went for an important business trip.”“Yes, sorry I wouldn’t be attending the wedding.” he said, in an apologetic tone.“No boy, you should have shifted the meeting to another day.” he uttered with a tone of displeasure “No Father, the meeting has already been scheduled and I wouldn’t want to disappoint them.”If only he knew his son was trying to save the company from corrupt hands. “I am not happy but if it’s for the company you have my blessing. Take care of yourself and send me good pictures of yourself.” “Yes, grandfather.”The call was terminated immediately, and Ryan continued with what he was doing. ****** The wedding of Brown and Victoria was the talk of the town, the ballroom of the grand estate was glimmering with crystal chandeliers and a cascade of flowers,
Ryan watched as they wheeled her out, his heart was heavy with worries. He rushed and followed the paramedics team, with his mother. He knew he needed to be by her side to make sure she was alright, she just saved his life. Ryan couldn’t shake the unease feeling that was building within him, “Hold on, Elizabeth. We will get through this.” Ryan said in his mind.The paramedic’s team rushed towards their van and drove immediately to the hospital. Ryan took the key from Nicolas and rushed behind the ambulance. His heart was racing fast, he blew the horn repeatedly when they got to the highway trying to find a path for him to drive.When they got to the hospital, the paramedics team sprang into action, and Elizabeth was wheeled into the hospital. And was taken in for treatment.Ryan raced inside like someone who had been chased, he was breathing fast. He asked several nurses and he was told that she was undergoing an operation.He sat on the chair facing downward, with tears welling up
“I heard everything you said. Grey. It was you who killed Brown at the hospital. I never thought you would be this evil until today.” Victoria said with a voice mixed with anger and pain.The policemen and the guards rushed inside the building, they stopped when they noticed the scenes that were happening before them.“Drop your weapons, you are surrounded by the police.” The Chief police officer said.Grey’s heart sank into his stomach, he knew there was no way out of him. He turned to face Ryan who gave him a small smile by the side of his lips.“You called the police, Ryan. How dare you.” Grey said.Ryan shrugged, “My mum wasn’t the only person you kidnapped, Elizabeth Brian is here.” He said soft but firm tone.The police team moved closer to where Mrs. Rebecca and Elizabeth were tied and helped untie them, setting them free, and moving them towards the back.“Drop your weapons,” The chief of police screamed again.“I can’t drop my weapon, I can surrender to you,” Grey said, his
His mother’s heart was pounding fast in fear, and Her eyes widened in horror. Seeing Six hefty men against her son Ryan.Tears were streaming down her cheeks and her body was trembling. Ryan placed the document on a rust table, beside him.Ryan knew he could take them if he stayed focused, he watched their movements, and his senses were on high alert. He watched as they moved towards a direction coming out with different weapons to fight against him.Grey stood behind, an evil smirk formed immediately by the edge of his lips. “Don’t kill him, we still need him alive to sign the document,” Greg instructed.The men nodded their heads intermittently while moving towards Ryan with a stern and mocking face.“You had picked the run person, Grey. You guys can walk away now you have the chance, I wouldn’t hurt you. I will give you some minutes to think about it.” Ryan said with a calm but firm tone.The men exchanged glances and laughed, “Let’s deal with him.” The scarred man said.Ryan st
“But I never believed you would have some people who are still loyal to you. They did a nice job of setting off the fire on time.” He said making a mockery of it.Ryan glared at him, “What is your gain in all this and what do you want?” He asked with his voice dripping in fury.“I had no idea you were this smart,” he said. “I want everything you owe, Everything your grandfather gave to you including the company.” He said.Ryan giggled with the right side of his lips, he wasn’t surprised by what he said. He knew something was odd about Grey from the beginning.“How do you think it’s going to be possible? There are people before you who have tried to take things off my hands and they failed. And one of them is your father,” he said confidently.Grey got pissed by his statement, giving him a deadly glare. With his jaw clenched. Ryan was using this as a delay tactic for the police and his men to take position. Meanwhile, Nicolas and Sebastian have positioned themselves with snipers at d
They moved slowly till they got to an open space, Ryan glanced around the room and he could see his mother being tied to a chair, her eyes could tell her story that she had pain and fear while her heart was enthralled with indescribable sorrow.It got to Ryan’s notice that she wasn’t the only one, he narrowed his gaze to the left and found Elizabeth Brian also tied at the other end.“What is she doing here and how come she was kidnapped alongside my mother.” He mumbles inwardly. Ryan was in a perplexed state but maintained his composure for the task ahead.His eyes flickered in rage while transferring the anger to his hand grip on the bag. He counted the men he saw starting from the entrance, they were a total of six men.“Where is your boss, tell him, I have what he requested and he should set them free,” Ryan said, his voice deep and showing no atom of fear.One of the gang members who seemed to be the leader, he had a scarred face, spoke with authorities.“Not so fast, we need to c
Ryan and Freddie got to the entrance of his mansion, where Ryan met his driver, Jerry. “Get in, we are heading out,” he commanded.Jerry felt something was off, he knew his master wouldn’t have sounded like that. But he believes whatever it is his master will always conquer it no matter what.Ryan felt his phone vibrate, he shoved it out placing it on a loudspeaker.“Master, Ryan. It’s Sebastian. I have news that you should know.” Sebastian said.Ryan already knew what he wanted to say, but allowed him to make the statement.“What is it?” Ryan said with a plain tone.“Master, Your mother has been kidnapped. The two guards she went out with were shot and have been taken to the hospital, we have informed the police about it. And they have sent a rescue team to search for her.” Sebastian said.“Master, I believe it was Joseph who sent those men to kidnap your mother,” he added.Ryan inhales.“I know about it, the kidnappers have contacted me.”“What did they say, did they request for any
The atmosphere was filled with laughter, and excitement as they exchanged memories of the past. Suddenly Ryan’s phone rang out, he didn’t pick up the call at first, it was the second time. He glanced at the phone screen and his eyes fell on an unknown number.He furrowed his brow, “Who could this be?” He said in his mind. He excuses himself from his friends while pressing his right finger against the phone screen.He exhaled deeply and mouthed into the phone.“Hello, this is Ryan Baker. Who am I unto and how can I help you.” Ryan said calmly.“Finally, Finally you decided to pick up my calls. You were lucky, you did. I would have sent you a message with a picture of your mum’s corpse.” The unknown caller said and from the background, one could tell it was a male voice.“Huh? Who are you and what the hell are you talking about.” Ryan questioned with a serious tone, he wasn’t finding the caller’s statements to be a friendly one. He furrowed his face.The caller laughed sarcastically
Ryan yanked the thought off his mind, while he continued with his work. His eyes were glued to the laptop screen. The day had been long filled with meetings and planning sessions, Ryan felt a sense of accomplishment as he wrapped up the last reports for the day.He shut down his laptop and stared at his wristwatch, it was 5:30 pm. He sighed in relief. There was a subtle knock on the door, “Come in,” he said in his usual tone.Ryan hoisted his head to deduce who it was and his gaze fell on Nicolas who walked inside the office, Nicolas was worried that his master had spent enough time unlike him, so he came to check to see what was happening but he found his master getting ready to leave.“Oh! I was about to call you. Get the car ready.” He said.“Okay, young master.” He replied.Nicholas left the office, closing the door from behind. Just as he was about to stand up, his phone rang. Ryan glanced at the phone screen and found Elizabeth’s name boldly written on the screen.He didn’t
He managed to maintain his composure but his mind was pounding fast, Grey had to close the tab hastily to avoid Ryan from seeing what he was doing.Grey knew he had to come up with a good answer, he wouldn’t want to be interrogated by Ryan, He could see how angry he was.“Uhhh, I was going through some stuff online. My laptop was having difficulty, so I thought about using yours to finish my work,” he said, getting up from the seat and walking towards Ryan.Ryan stared at him in disbelief, he didn’t believe his statement.Ryan clenched his hand into a fist. He narrowed his eyes, suspicious pricking at the back of his mind. “You should have called the technician to get your laptop checked, my laptop is confidential. I don’t want you going through my laptop again or coming into my office without my permission.” Ryan said firmly.“But Ryan, we are brothers and grandfather said whatever belongs to you, belongs to me as well.” He said. Ryan felt irritated by his words, as he walked towar
