Mrs Tuscons sat in her bed room at her home. The home, which is usually a place of comfort for her now seems like a prison and uncomfortable. She was sitting close to the window side as she looked down at the streets. The city lights casting a dim glow across the room. It should have been a peaceful evening, a time for cool conversation with her husband and daughters if they were around but her mind was full of unrest. Her business was failing, her trusted allies were turning on her and the press has gotten wind of the news about her, painting her as the villain in a scandal that have her trapped. Her only saving grace is that for now, her name has not been mentioned but she knew it was only a matter of time before that happens.She had always thought and prided herself that she is not touchable, based on the belief that no matter the situation, she would always find her way out of it. But now, with everything happening at once, she realized this was actually different. Her business w
“Is there any way to stop this?” she asked, her voice strained.The assistant hesitated before speaking, his eyes casting downward. “It’s too late. They’ve already begun the process. You can’t fight it. The authorities are determined to go through with it.”Margaret’s mind raced. She could feel the familiar panic rising in her chest, the same panic she had always been able to quell with a quick word or a well-placed favor. But now, there was no escaping this. There were no favors left to call in, no backroom deals to be made. Justin’s influence had overpowered everything she had once relied on.Her thoughts were interrupted by a phone call. The screen flashed Justin’s name. A wave of anger surged through her as she reached for the phone, her hands trembling with rage and fear. This was it. The final blow.“Margaret,” Justin’s voice was calm, almost casual, as though they were having an ordinary conversation. “I’m afraid you’re running out of time.”Her grip tightened around the phone.
She sat in her bedroom, staring out at the city's dark skies. The towering skyscrapers reminded her of the influence she used to have, which has now been reduced to nothingness by a former son in law that she did not treat well when he and her daughter we're still married. In fact, she even clamoured for their divorce so her daughter could be available and eligible for more made men. She now felt isolated, caused by Justin. He had taken everything from her.She had been desperate for awhile but when ever she makes a move to retaliate back to Justin, he usually shows that he is always many steps ahead of her. It is like he anticipated her every move. But she can not face the consequences of what Justin wanted her to face. She needed to escape. Since her hopes of fighting back have been vanquished, she can only do one thing. And that is to leave town, to a place where she was sure Justin would not be able to touch her. Or better still, leave the country. That seems like a much more bett
But what she did not know was that Justin was not a fool. He was highly intelligent and had anticipated she would try to run away from the country. For a situation like this, no one would agree to be defamed like that after losing all their properties and everything that defines them, regardless of whether they committed a crime or not.He had expected her to run away from the country now that everything seems to be against her and she have no option to fight back effectively.And he had made preparation to make sure that does not happen or make her not go far.His ever trusted assistant, Mark, came into his office with a laptop in his hand. His face was lit by the glow of the screen. “Boss, we have intercepted communication from Mrs Tuscons's network. It appears like she is indeed making a run for it. She was in contact with someone, trying to arrange a secret trip outside the country. She is clearly trying to escape.”Justin leaned back in his chair as he heard the report. A small
Justin was sitting in his office as hie eywaywere fixed on the digital map on his laptop. He was already putting his plan into motion. His ex mother in law was making her finaove to escape from him and he had no intention of letting her go away. He has already given the task to stop her from leaving the country to his underworld's contacts. All he had to do now was to wait.“She is at the airport boss.” His assistant, Mark, voice came through the secure line. “Just as we anticipated. She is trying to board a flight to a small European country. No extradition treaty.”Justin smiled coldly. "Good. Make sure she Justin smiled in a cold smile as he listened to the report. “Goof. Make sure she does not leave the country. I believe you know what to do.” Justin replied.“Already on it boss. We will make sure she never get through the security.” His assistant, Mark, responded very quickly.Across the city, Justin's well connected contacts within the shadowy network of the underworld had begu
The once very proud and influential woman was now seated quietly in the back of a black sedan car. Her fingers were gripping the leather seat in a very nervou manner. Every second the car only seems to remind her of her failed escape. The world she had carefully built for herself had collapsed and there was nothing she could have done to stop it. The car finally stopped and when she looked out the window to see where it had stopped, she was surprised she was back home. She was panicked. Her instincts told her this may not look good. Has Justin told her husband about her? If not, was he planning to do that now? These were the questions racing through her mind as she realizes she was brought back home.As she got out of the car with gear visible on her face and entered her home, the allure of her home could not calm her nerves. She felt like a prisoner in a case in her own house. The beauty of the house, it's beautiful paintings, and the fine art on the walls looks very bland to her and
The words she wanted to say got stuck in her mouth as the full extent of Justin's words sank in. “You..you would not do that Justin.” She stammered. “You can not destroy me. I can still try to protect myself. People would not abandon me to my plight.” She said trying to maintain some form of control over the present situation.Justin smirked as he heard her say that. He had on the confidence of a man who seems very sure of his victory. “You do not have anyone left Mrs Tucsons. I have made very sure of that. Your business partners have abandoned you. Your friends are nowhere around you at the moment and your money is not as much as you would like it to be right now.” He told his head slightly as his voice dripped with menace. “All you have left right now is me, Mrs Tuscons.”Tears welled up in her eyes as the reality of her situation hit her like a tidal wave. She had spent her life climbing to the top, stepping on anyone who got in her way, and now she was facing the consequences of e
After Justin had left Mrs Tuscons's house, he had immediately set his next plans in motion. He had cornered her once again but he does not expect her to make a decision immediately. Or maybe did not want her to make a decision on time, he wanted to destroy her while making her feel like she still have time to make a decision regards his options that he laid out for her.He had laid out a series of strategic moves that is meant to further destabilize his ex mother in law and everything she held so dear. Her assets, that she had meticulously gathered over the years were now frozen. Every penny she had made so far in her life that is kept in her Bank accounts and every investments she had made was now out of her reach.Sitting on a sofa in her grand hosue, Mrs Tuscons was staring at her phone as the notification of her empty accounts flooded her phone. It felt like her life was over. The walls felt like it was closing in on her. The luxury she had surrounded herself with feels like it'
