Judith felt guilty about everything, her face was etched with regrets and shame.“Please, my lady. Don’t kill her, there must be another way.” Judith said with her voice barely above a whisper.Lovina turned to Judith with her expression hardened. “And what would you suggest, what other way do you want? You want me to let her live so she can run to Jason and ruin everything I had planned against him. That can’t work Judith, never.” Lovina said with a serious tone.Judith looked torn, her eyes darting from Grace to Lady Lovina. “We could…we could keep her somewhere until everything is settled, or we can pay her off to travel somewhere far away. There is no need for bloodshed.” Lovina stared at her for a moment, she contemplated on her statement. “No, No, Judith. A loose end must be tied up, I can’t afford any risk.” Grace seized the opportunity when she noticed all eyes were not on her, she tried to run away but the guards were quick to notice her movements and one of the guards grab
“I am Detective William and here with me is the Chief of Police.” The detective said, showing him his identification card.Patrick shook hands with them and apologised for his behaviour. He took them towards the main living room and offered them a seat, while he sent one of the servants to call his parents.Patrick tutted his lips, as he waited for his parents to come. The chief of police had refused to utter a word until he set his eyes on Mr. Benjamin Lewis.Mr. Benjamin and Lovina step out with confused faces, and they move towards where the officers are seated. He shook hands with the men who kept a calm demeanour.“Hope all is well? Did anything happen to my son, Jason? Talk to me.” Mr. Benjamin asked, with his mind racing fast and his hands trembling.Lovina held his hands tight with his, while Patrick was confused by the whole scenario.The officer wouldn’t come to his house if something wasn’t wrong, the only thing he could think of at that moment was Jason. He knew his son h
The detective and chief of police had just concluded their interrogation on the incident that happened, they took their leave after inspecting some of Grace's properties at the mansion.Mr. Benjamin, Lovina, Patrick and the servants at the mansion felt bad after hearing about the incident. The mansion was filled with tears and sad faces, the atmosphere was engulfed with sombre and grief.Lovina was a bit worried and scared, she received a message on her phone from an unknown number. “I know what happened at your mansion last night, I will send you an address where to meet me or I will show the video to the police.” the message stated Lovina was shocked, her eyes widened in horror. “Who could this be and how did he get to know about what happened at the mansion.” She questioned inwardly.**************That morning Jason had his eyes glued to his system with his hands tapping repeatedly against his keyboard. He had some unfinished business and had to report to work that morning. H
Jason was silent for a while, he didn’t utter a word. His fists were clenched in anger. “Sir, are you there?” She asked.“Yes, I am.” “Cancel the meeting, Elena. Inform his company that we are no longer interested in partnering with them. Inform the board members about the change, and don’t worry about telling my father. I would do that myself.” He said, “Okay, sir. I will do that right away.” She replied before the call was terminated by Jason from his end.“If you want to play games let’s play together,” Jason said with his fist clenched.**********“What do you mean, they are no longer interested in partnering with us,” Kelly yelled, his voice brimming in anger.His secretary took a step backwards, she was frightened by her boss’ expression. Kelly moved with his first clenched and jaw gritted in frustration. Just when he was close to getting close to the Lewis family, everything changed. “James, James. What have you done this time,” he said.“Get me James, I want him here. T
Lovina walked through the hallway, her eyes roaming around the hall in search of the room number, she came with the two guards that were part of Grace’s murder. But she had them wait for her outside as instructed by the unknown person who threatened to leak the video of what happened to Grace.The unknown person had sent her the video, letting her know that he wasn’t bluffing with his words. This made Lovina more scared than ever.She was still surprised how the person got the video and was curious to know who the person was. All her prayers were that it wasn’t Jason or any of his loyalists. Because it would be difficult to bribe them or convince them not to show it to their master.“Did Grace know she would be dying? Was that why she had someone spy on us? Could she have informed someone else about my plan to eliminate Jason?” She questioned inwardly.Lovina’s mind was racing through several conflicting thoughts, she paced until she finally found the room. She softly knocked at the d
“No, I can’t do what you ask of me. I am married and I love my husband.” Christian chuckled, “We are all married but having an affair that will not affect our marriage. All I want is a taste of you on my bed and help to get a contract with Benjamin’s company. How difficult is that to accept.”Lovina was boiling in inner rage, if not for the guards that were around she felt like stabbing him with the glass before him. She couldn’t hide her saddened expression as she watched him sip from the glass.“How could I accept his condition? What if he wants more after agreeing to his request? What have I gotten myself into,” she muttered inwardly.Christian had his eyes glued at her, he allowed her to battle with her thoughts while he smiled from his end.The silence in the room lasted for a few minutes, His patience was wearing thin and his expression changed.“I don’t have all day, Lovina. The ball is in your court, Agree to my deal and your secrets will be kept with me forever.” He said as
Jason was seated in front of the bar cabinet, while he sipped his whiskey slowly. He wanted to free his mind from all the things and stress he had faced during the day. He had his phone in his right hand, as he scrolled through his social media accounts. He smiled when he came in contact with a funny video, he was seen laughing and enjoying the content. “Hello, Master Jason. You seem to be having a good time alone, do you mind if I join you.” Nora said with her voice barely above a whisper. “Yes, please have a seat. He said pointing at the seat opposite him. He glanced around to see if anyone was there but none of his servants were around. “What can I offer you,” he said looking at the bar cabinet.Nora smiled, she looked around to see if she could see something she liked. She knew the wines there were way more expensive and were not just ordinary wines.“Can I have this,” she said pointing at the bottle before them, the same drink Jason was taking.He brought out a wine glass and
Jason was driving back home after going to inspect the Plantation and the boutique, he was looking forward to getting home as he navigated the winding road. He glanced in the rearview mirror and noticed a black van that seemed to be following himAt first, he dismissed it as a coincidence, but as the miles ticked by the car remained steady fastly on his tail. Jason felt a sense of unease crept over him. Jason decided to confirm his suspicions, he took a series of random turns, but the van followed his every move. It was now clear to Jason that he was being followed. He pulled into a garage, hoping the public settling would deter any potential threats.He stared through his side mirror, he noticed the van was still parked outside the garage. Jason looked around the premises, where he found several people moving around.He stepped out of his car and casually pretended to inspect his tyres while keeping his eyes on the van. The van pulled up a short distance away, and three men stepped
