The tension in the room was high as Justin's friend, Robert reached for his briefcase. His hands was trembling as he pulled out a stack of papers that represented his freedom, the divorce papers that would finally help him cut ties with his toxic wife forever.He handed over the papers to his wife with a mixed feeling of apprehension and impending relief. He had waited a long time for this moment, enduring periods of betrayal and emotional torture. Now he can rebuild his life with this divorce papers.“Sign them.” Justin said to her. He was authoritative as he spoke. He watched her closely with an unwavering gaze as she collected the papers from her husband’s hand.She hesitated to sign it, her eyes looking between the papers and the faces of those in the room. The the fact she was clearly under their mercy and did not have any control over the situation made her uneasy and for a short moment, she wanted to consider refusing signing it. But when she saw the stern look on the security
“I will work for you.” she finally said, her voice was low. “I will do what ever you want me to do.”Justin leaned back in his chair, clearly satisfied with her final decision. “Good. Because now, you belong to me. And you will have to prove your loyalty by helping me to take down the man you have been sleeping with. I mean the CEO.”Her heart sank as she realized her situation. It was like moving from frying pan to fire. She looked uncertain but she also knew she had no other choice than to obey Justin's orders as her life depended on it.Justin leaned forward again with a stern expression. “Now Cynthia, now that you have made the right choice. Let us discuss the terms of our agreement.”Cynthia looked at him with her hands clasping her laps tightly. She didn’t know what to expect. She only agreed to work for him as a way out of this situation.“Here is the deal.” Justin continued. You will be our informant in the office. Your main assignment will be to give us any piece of informati
Justin’s classmate, Robert was so relived and grateful, as he went home in a car together with Justin and Mark, his eyes taking in the surroundings of his home. The weight of the divorce from his unfaithful wife had vanished, and for a brief moment, he could fee the hope of a fresh start. He turned around to Justin with an expression full of gratitude and sincere appreciation.Justin smiled. “You are welcome Robert. It feels so good to be of help.”“Thank you Justin.” he said with his voice laden with emotions. “I can not tell you how much this means to me. I did not think I would be free from her that soon, and now I have a chance to rebuild my life.”The car came to a halt in front of Robert's house. As he alighted from the car, Justin and his assistant remained in the car to Robert have a moment of privacy. However, as he approached his front door, he was shocked to meet an unexpected and unpleasant sight.The front door was locked, and a large eviction notice was placed on the d
After Justin and Robert, together with his assistant, Mark left the CEO’s office, the CEO was so furious as he was scattering things in his office. His pride had been bruised by the audacity of Justin when he challenged him for having sex with Cynthia in his office. His mind was filled with thoughts on how to get back at Justin. The apology earlier did not do much to pacify him. He needed to show Justin that he calls the shots but he could not come up with any plan on how to deal with him. He was from another country and although he considered him a low executive from the Head quarters, the truth was that he did not know how best to show to him that he controls this place. So his only resort was to inflict more pain on Robert. He has always been an easy target. He knows that if he get backs at Justin through Robert, he would feel the might of his power.But even if he wanted to use Robert as a scapegoat to deal with Justin, he did not know how to go about that. What he was used to doi
Robert quickly hurried to his landlord’s office, hoping to hear whatever explanation the man may have for the sudden eviction without notifying him before hand. As he got to the office, he saw the man. He was seated behind his desk, looking through his phone.He looked up as he noticed Robert walked in. He was about to say something when Robert fell on his knees and started begging him. “Please sir.” Robert started begging with his voice shaking out of desperation. “You can not do this. I need some more time if you would evict me. I have no where else to go at the moment.”The landlord stared at Robert with an expressionless face. “Look, Robert, it is nothing personal. I just needed that space for somethings and I have no choice than to evict you. I am sorry it was impromptu.”Robert was surprised at the reason the landlord gave him. Not that he was expecting anything positive but he just could not wrap his head around the fact everything was just so sudden. If he had been given tim
Bruce, after he had been scammed by Meeky and nobody seemed to believe him after he told the Tucson family, laid low for awhile. During this period, he reflected and realized that he could not just accept that his job was lost and let go but if he would ever have a chance of recovering his position back, he would have to take a different approach as obviously forming aggressive and trying to use somebody’s name as in the case of Meeky’s was a very poor idea.After thinking it through, he came up with an idea and a plan on how to go about it. It was not honorable but he was at his wits end and had no other option. He started keeping tabs on the new boss's movement after work hours. He noticed the man do visits a bar to unwind before going home and he was quite friendly with the ladies. He decided to blackmail him. He would arrange a woman to seduce him in a room where he would have planted cameras to capture the activities.He put his plan in motion and as luck would be on his side,
The new boss looked at Bruce and pleaded with a trembling voice. “Please Bruce, I beg you. Do not leak these pictures. Please do not destroy my career and life. Please!!”Bruce expression softened a bit, but he was still firm with his request. “Alright.” he said with a measured tone. “I will keep them private and secured but my demands has not changed. In exchange, you would have to give my position back to me. You will leave that position and make sure that I am reinstated back as the head of this company.”The new boss was clearly disturbed. His mind was racing. This was a very difficult situation.“But you know that will not sit well with the higher management. They would want to know why a sudden change like that is happening, especially without prior notice.”Bruce’s eyes narrowed at this point and he spoke with an air of authority. “That is your problem now. You need to figure it out and make them see why it is happening. Just make sure the higher management accepts your decisio
Later that night after Justin had taken Robert to an hotel to get him a temporary accommodation, back at the landlord’s house, he was seated in his living room, quietly enjoying the calmness of the night. He was oblivious to what Robert may be going through after he had evicted him from his apartment. He had only acted based on instructions. But little did he know tonight was going to be a night he would not forget in a hurry.The first sign there was trouble tonight was when the power suddenly went out. The lights flickered once, twice, and then it was out, putting the whole building into darkness. The landlord was surprised as he tried to reach for his phone, but before he could even reach it, a loud crash resounded from the front door. The door had been kicked open with a huge force.The landlord turned around as he panicked, jumping to his feet on reflex. He could hear muffled voices, which appears to be in the middle of a struggle. He didn’t know that his bodyguards were being ta
