“I am looking for the money I kept in my drawer, with an envelope which has a small pendant inside.” He said with his voice brimming with anger.Lovina furrowed her brow, she jerked off her seat.‘You mean you are looking for your money and a pendant.” She questioned softly, she could see his face serious and eyes blazing in fury.Mr. Benjamin nodded his head. “Yes,” “Have you asked the maids and the guards, you should call them for questioning.” Lovina insisted.Mr Benjamin had his mind racing through several thoughts, his maid or guards had never stolen from him, and it was the first time he was looking for any of his belongings in his office. Everything seems confusing to him.He angrily walked out of the room and found Robert on his way downstairs.Robert tilted his head when he saw his master coming towards him, with a firm and serious expression. He could grasp that something was wrong and he was about to ask when his master Voiced out.“I need to see you immediately, Robert,”
Patrick came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist, and a water droplet still clinging to his skin. The steam from the billowed around him as he entered his bedroom, only to freeze in his tracks.He found his mother, Lovina, standing close to his bed. Clutching the pendant Mr. Benjamin has been desperately searching for.Her eyes blazed with a mix of anger and disappointment, while she stared at her son. “Why did you take it, Patrick?” She said with a serious tone. “How could you be this foolish by stealing from your stepfather.” She questioned with her voice trembling with fury.Patrick was struggling with his words, he was surprised by how his mother found out it was him. He has sneaked into Mr. Benjamin’s home office late at night, without anyone noticing him. His major reason was to take photos of a document, but he found it and couldn’t take his eyes off it.He felt his heart pounding fast in anticipation and disappointment. But he maintained a calm demeanour
“Yes, he did. But now I wouldn’t be getting any because of the golden boy, who ruined the plan. Father was willing to listen and accept the deal, not until Jason showed up with his assistant Elena.” He said with his voice boiling in inner rage.“You should have told me and I would have helped you talk to your father about it.”Patrick curses and continues to spill out words with anger, he allows his hatred to cloud his heart that he didn’t know when he voiced out about hiring an assassin to eliminate Jason.“I hate him so much that was why I hired someone to do.......” he paused.Lovina raised her brow to look at Patrick’s face, “What did you just do, Patrick.” She asked. “Don’t tell me you were behind the attack against him the other day.” Patrick swallowed his saliva, biting his lips. He doesn’t know how his mother would react to his unexpected confession.Lovina walked towards her son and engulfed him in a warm hug, Patrick’s eyes widened in disbelief.“I am happy you took a grea
Elena stood still with a confused facial expression, she had searched the entire drawer for the memo that Jason had asked her to prepare for his next business meeting. She moved towards the second drawer with her face pale.“Where did I keep it? Did I forget it at home?” She stopped with her index finger in her mouth.She ran her hand on her black hair, While the other hand was placed on her waist. Elena raised her head to look at the clock that was standing on the wall.“Oh no,” she said, remembering she had kept it on her desk at home earlier.Elena sighed, she moved to grab her phone and booked a ride that would take her home.“I need to go home and get the document,” she whispered.She stepped out of her office and made her way towards the elevator. It slid open and she found Loki coming out of it. Loki stared at her and could see how tense she was. “Miss Elena, Are you okay?” Loki asked with his voice barely above a whisper.“Yes, I forgot something at home and I need to get th
“No, sir.” She replied.Jason was angry, he scanned around the premises and there was no sign of her. He dialled the number again and was still not reachable.“Where could she be and why is she not picking up my calls,” Jason said with his teeth gritted in anger.He dialled Loki’s number, requesting for him to come to his office.Loki came immediately, he tilted his head slowly.“Young master, what is the problem?” He asked.Jason gazes at Loki with a furrowed brow. “Have you seen, Elena? I have searched her office for her and she is not there and her number is not connected.” He said.Loki inhales softly “Young master, I saw her leaving the office earlier, she was in a hurry.”Jason darted his gaze at Loki. “ Did she tell you where she was going?” He abruptly questioned.Loki tried to remember the event, “Yes, she said she forgot something at home and she was going to get them.” Loki replied smoothly.“She was going home to get something, where is Graham.” “He is downstairs, Master,
“We need to take the back door,” Ruger said hastily.The atmosphere was tense, Patrick and Jonathan rushed behind Ruger. They made their way towards the back door of the house, they could hear a voice from the entrance of the house. They moved into a small house that was behind the main building. Ruger opened a small door that led to a tunnel, and from there they escaped.The policemen surrounded the environment, they moved into a unit as they made their way into the house. They separated themselves into various rooms of the building until they found Elena, she was tied and blindfolded. The men weren’t able to find anything from the kidnappers, Patrick and his friends had made sure they cleared the room before leaving to avoid being tracked by the police.Jason heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Elena, he engulfed her in a warm hug. Elena had tears streaming down her cheeks. She held Jason tightly, and her mind was still engrossed with fear.“You are safe now, I will take you home,
The following morning at the Lewis mansion, Lovina was worried about her son, Patrick came back late the previous night, and she didn’t get to see him before she slept. She had a difficult night, she was thinking about their plan and she had to wake up early to check on her son and find out if everything was successful.Patrick was already awake when he heard a soft knock on the door. He was pissed thinking it was one of the servants as usual. He felt his anger aroused, he was planning on yelling at the servant when he got to the door.He was about to utter a word when his gaze fell on his mother. He swallowed his saliva quickly and walked back into the room with a saddened expression.Lovina could feel something was wrong, but she would like to hear the whole story about her plan from her son’s mouth.“You can’t greet your mother, are we having any issues?” Lovina said.“Good morning, ma. Are you happy now?” Patrick said and he moved back to the bed. Lovina shook her head in disap
Both stared at each other with their mind racing mixed with confusion and disbelief. Jason had his hand placed before his nose after they were hit by a foul odour which made Jason’s stomach churn with dread. He moved towards the man who was lying in a pool of his blood. Jason clenched his jaw in anger. It was clear he had been dead for some time.“He is dead, Master,” Loki said with his voice filled with confusion.Jason shook his head intermittently, he moved towards the door. “We need to call the police,” Jason said.Jason and Loki called the police team immediately and it took them a few minutes before they arrived with an ambulance.He stood back, trying not to disturb the scene any further. Jason was engrossed in thought, “Who killed him and why? Was this connected to Elena’s kidnapping, who could be behind this and what is their motive?” Jason said to himself.Jason and Loki watched as the police secured the scene, yellow tape was used to cover the entrance and not allow people
Mr. Benjamin held his son’s hand and lifted it as a sign of victory. The court attendant echoed that each of the family has mixed feelings coursing through their veins.Detective William moved towards Jason. “Congratulations, you have finally got justice.” He said politely.“Thank you, Detective William.” He replied.Jason and his father stepped out of the courtroom, and the media team rushed towards him, bombarding him with several questions; he didn’t fail to give them an answer to their questions.~~~~~~~~Jason called for a small gathering at his mansion with his friends. Oscar Morgan, Loki, Elena, Nora and Zachary Reed were all present.It was a small get-together which he organised to thank his friends for their support in achieving his goals. Each one of them played a role in his life.The big polished mahogany table was filled with a variety of food and drinks. He got up and clinked the glass, calling their attention.“I want to thank every one of you for your support. It was
It was the day of the court hearing, the courtroom was buzzed with a mix of anticipation and tension. The air was thick with the weight of what was about to unfold.James Paterson, Lovina, Kelly Peters, and Jonathan were all standing behind the defendant’s table, their faces pale and hands clasped tightly together.Jason was seated with his father, Mr. Benjamin Lewis, and a few family members and friends were all around to witness the event of the day.The judge, an imposing figure, with a stern expression, called the court to order. They were asked to stand up. They rose to their feet with their heart pounding; each of them had mixed feelings boiling within them. James Paterson continues to stare at Jason with the side of his eyes. The hatred was still building within him; if he was allowed to act, he would kill Jason before going to prison.He couldn’t believe he had been defeated by the same person twice. Lovina hasn’t uttered a word since her arrest; the death of her son was sti
It’s been a week since the incident, and Jason and his father have gone back to normal. Jason was faced with more tasks in the office; he has been working hard and attending business meetings, which he has skipped with Clients. Life at the office was becoming more hectic by the day; the stock of the company continued to skyrocket higher, making the company maintain its top spot in the business world.Jason won several awards and endorsement deals with two different companies. His name becomes the talk of the town. His image is shown in some signposts.After several months of setbacks and unweaving determination, the day has finally arrived when Jason would have to unveil his project.He stood beside the restaurant, “Lewis Savour and Spice.” His heart swelled in pride as he took sight of the elegant facade, the chic signage gleaming in the afternoon sun. The air buzzed with excitement as guests from different places began to arrive and a red carpet at the entrance added a touch of gla
Kelly Peters and James Paterson both looked worried; the news about Patrick’s death had spread across the city like wildfire while Lovina survived the shot and was taken to the hospital; in some days, the court would decide her fate. James paced back and forth at a slow pace in the room; they were thinking of what to do while Jonathan sat down with his gaze facing downward. His eyes have swallowed after crying. He couldn’t believe Lovina would do such, and he blamed her for being careless. “What do we do, we can’t sit here all day doing nothing,” James said, with his voice tingling with sadness.“What do you expect us to do, you know what happened. I think we should lay low for the time being. We can’t tell what’s going on out there.” Kelly uttered with his voice barely above a whisper.“Where is Jez, why is he not here?” James asked, with a gaze at his uncle.“I don’t know, he is supposed to be here before now,” Kelly replied, staring at his wristwatch.James Paterson moved towar
The following morning, Lovina was worried; she hadn’t heard from Zander. His line had been unavailable; she couldn’t fathom what was happening. No news from Christian Rafael and Zander.Lovina was more determined to end everything. She woke up early checking through her phone to hear the news about Jason being dead, but there was none. She tried calling Zander but he wasn’t picking up. Her patience wearing thin.She took the bottles of poison she had kept for a long time, knowing Mr. Benjamin always likes having coffee every morning before stepping out. She thought about serving him his coffee by adding a little potion to it. Lovina was through with the mixture; she kept a determined face; she heard footsteps coming, and immediately, she inserted a little potion, after which she shook the mug of coffee to mix with the liquid. “Mom, what are you doing?” Patrick questioned.Lovina froze in shock, her hands trembling in fear of being caught by her son. She struggled with her words as
That night, Mr. Benjamin couldn’t come to terms with sleep. He was restless, his mind racing through several conflicting thoughts. He was still waiting for a response from the police, but nothing had been found. He paused back and forth in his study room with one of his hands clasped behind his back and the other hand he used to hold the wine glass.“Who could have done this to my son? Why will he always have to face difficulties.” He questioned inwardly. He sipped from his wine glass, consuming the liquid content slowly. He perceived a subtle knock on the door and turned his gaze to deduce who it was.When the door creaked open, Robert ambled inside with a saddened demeanor. He tilted his head while standing before Mr. Benjamin.“What is it? Did you find anything?” He questioned with his face etched with worries.Robert sighed softly, as he nodded negatively. “No, Master. We were unable to get anything,” he responded. Mr. Benjamin felt a surge of frustration coursing through his
The doctor darting his gaze from one man to another, he exhales letting air out of his mouth. “Can you please calm down? I have two news for you. Which will you want to hear first? The good news or the bad news.” He abruptly questioned.“The good news.” Mr. Benjamin said.“The bad news,” Zachary said.Mr Benjamin stared at him with his brow furrowed. “Which one, good or bad?” The doctor asked again.“The good news please.” The doctor adjusted his white gown, “The good news is that your son is alive. But the bad news is that he is in a coma and he lost a lot of blood. We are happy we were able to revive him and get blood that matches his own. His recovery will depend on him.” The doctor uttered Calmly.Mr. Benjamin felt a surge of sorrow and sadness within him; his face was lit up knowing his son was alive, but another part of his heart was pounding in fear and pain hearing his son was in a coma. “Doctor, can we see him?” Oscar Morgan muttered calmly.“No, you can’t see him. We ha
Jason was on his way home after a successful mission, before he left the city he visited Ben to thank him for his support, he also met with the head of police who thanked him for helping the girls. He was sitting down at the back of the Range Rover with his eyes closed. While Loki was seated in the co-driver seat, he inhaled softly feeling the air of the city he grew up in. The car window was opened, as they drove home.They met with serious traffic along the way, and Jason leaned backwards. His face was etched with excitement as he thought about what happened in Venice, knowing he was able to help rescue Elena and Nora. While they were still stuck in traffic, it was unbeknownst to Jason and the others that a motorcycle had been trailing behind them since the airport. The motorcyclist found the job easy when he noticed the window was open, he pulled out his gun from his jacket slowing down his pace. Immediately he came close to the window and pulled the trigger twice at Jason. Lo
Christian Rafael came to a halt when the direction he took led him to a room where he couldn’t escape. He turned his back to see Jason standing with a stern face, his face as scary as ever. Christian hands were trembling in fear, each step Jason took sent a quiver down his spine.He threw a punch at Jason who didn’t hesitate to dodge his arms, Jason's eyes were blazing with fury. His face turned red, he took a few steps forward.“Please, don’t harm me. I am sorry for everything I said earlier, it was a slip of the tongue. Please, Forgive me. I will help you do whatever you want even if it means testifying against Lovina.” Christian uttered with a trembling Voice.Jason didn’t listen to his plea, he knew how corny Christian Rafael was, he matched forward as he sent his right hand towards Christian’s jaw. He added another punch with his second hand, sending Christian staggering backwards, as the document fell from his hands.His gaze fell on a piece of wood that was standing beside the
