James Paterson walked into his uncle’s office, they had an argument the previous night. Mr. Kelly was sad about what James and Jez did. He still hasn’t gotten an investor that would help his company. His only hope was to secure a deal with the Lewis and get a loan from Trustworthy Finance.“Uncle, can I talk to you for a moment.” He said with his voice barely above a whisper.Kelly glared at him and continued with what he was doing, his hands were typing against his keyboard. And his eyes glued to the screen.James stepped forward and sat before his uncle’s desk.“Uncle Kelly, I am sorry.” He said in an apologetic tone. “I know how angry you are with me. But I didn’t know Jason would find out we are related. Besides it wasn’t my fault, if Jez had done the job properly and not exposed his face to the guards this wouldn’t have happened.” “What do you mean by that,” Kelly asked with a stern face.James exhaled softly, “Uncle, I had no idea he would come to the club that day. I know Jas
Detective William closed his eyes as he leaned on his chair, his mind racing from the event before, he had barely sat after Mary’s near-death experience and the chilling realisation that someone was targeting his family. All he wanted was to know who and why. He drew a deep breath and had his eyes open. He needs to continue working on the case file he has been working on before the incident.Detective William riffled through the papers on his desk, frustration mounting with each passing second. The file is nowhere to be seen. “I am sure I kept it here before I left.” He said with his eyes ogling around the office.He checked his drawer and the filing cabinet. William was becoming frustrated that he had to even check the trash can, but it was as if the document had vanished into the air. ‘Where is it.” He muttered under his breath, pushing his hand through his hair. His eyes still scanning through the room for any clue.He stepped out of his office and approached his colleague, Det
Jason was sad when he heard about the case being handed to another person, he wanted to call Detective William but he yanked the thought from his mind.He was wallowing in thought, just as he suspected. He knew someone in the police force was working against Detective Williams so he wouldn’t unfold the truth and have them exposed. His office door creaked open, bringing Jason back to earth. Loki stepped in and tilted his head in respect. “Young master,” he called out. “I have gotten what you requested, I have located his residence.” He said as he handed his master a slide containing details about Jez.Jason shook his head as he pulled out the content inside, his glance at the picture and images of Jez and the little boy. “Good work, Loki.”“Master, sorry for not telling you on time. He has a son who stays with his grandmother. At Avenue Street, he is about six years old.” Loki added.Jason drew a deep breath, as he stared at the picture. A plan already forming in his mind. It was ti
Jason and Loki made a sign which Jez saw, his mind racing fast. Not knowing what to do anymore, he was moved to speak. “I was hired by Kelly Peters and James Paterson.” He said finally with a low tone. Jason furrowed his brow, “Why would he want to kill me.” He abruptly questioned. Jez looked around nervously, “He sees you as a threat, And James Paterson wants revenge for what you did to him a long time ago. He blames you for the death of his father and for not getting Married to Jessica Miller.” “Jessica Miller.” Jason smiled softly. With a stern face, Jason stared at Jez. “Now, I see. What about you? Are you willing to work with me to bring him down?” “Work with you?” Jez said, his voice was etched with confusion. Jason sighed and gave him a light nod. “Yes,” Jez turned around glancing at his son, who was still playing happily with Loki. He knew he would have to make a good decision because of his family. Jez felt like he was trapped, as there was a moment of silen
While the conversation was going on Jez stood behind his boss, with an audio recorder installed in his body. He knew if he was caught, it would lead to something different but he would try to manoeuvre.“Patrick, We both can help each other. Knowing what you desperately seek, we can offer you a better option.” Kelly said softly.Kelly paused momentarily and continued. “We know how you want to take Jason off the picture so you could take over from him. I am willing to show you my full support if you agree to help me get what I want.”Patrick glared at them, he switched his gaze towards Jonathan thinking his friend had betrayed him but Jonathan shook his head, giving him a disapproving outlook.“I don’t know what you are talking about, I love my brother Jason. I would never think of hurting him, you better stay off any evil plans you have against him.” Patrick uttered as his anger aroused.He tapped his friend Jonathan, as they were about to leave when James’ voice made his step halt in
Upon arriving at the restaurant, they stepped out of the car. The trio made their way towards the entrance where they were welcomed by a waiter who showed them the designated space Jason had booked for the special event.Nora and Elena exchanged smiles at each other, and Jason beamed at them. Nora shook her head in appreciation and they thanked Jason.The show started, Zachary Reed arrived at the centre with a gift for his little niece. The atmosphere was engrossed with celebrations and jubilation. Loki and a few other staff from Jason’s mansion were present, it was a day off for most of his staff.As the show continued, everyone enjoyed their day and ate and drank to their satisfaction. Jason stepped aside with Zachary Reed, both men enjoyed each other’s company as they exchanged ideas and laughed.While the fun was going on, Jason’s phone buzzed. He didn’t pay attention to it, as he was engrossed with the excitement and laughed about the conversation between them on the table.Loki
The meeting had just been concluded between the two companies, the atmosphere was filled with an air of accomplishment as the final signatures were added to the contracts. Jason closed his pen with just a click, looking up to meet his father’s eyes and the eyes of his father’s friend, Leo Camel both beamed at him with satisfaction and pride.Their faces were engrossed in a warm smile, as they shook hands together sealing the deal of their new partnership.Mr. Benjamin patted Patrick’s back and shook his head softly. While Leo Camel walked towards Jason, he placed his right hand on his shoulder.“Jason, that was impeccable.” Mr. Leo said with his voice etched with admiration. “You handled the negotiation brilliantly. You know what, I have been in this business for decades, and it’s rare to see such poise and sharp intellect in someone so young.” Jason smiles and nods acknowledging his compliment. “ Thank you, Mr. Leo. I am glad we could reach an agreement that benefits both of our
“I remember the address, the driver did the delivery,” The old man said as he raised his brow towards Detective William.Detective William gave him a cold glance, as he clenched his jaw but he maintained his composure acting professional.“I would like to see the driver, Where is he?”“Is anything the matter, the driver is off. He went to make some deliveries to our clients.” He replied.Detective William gave him a light nod, with his eyes scanning around. “I would like to go around the store if you don’t mind and you would need to come with me for questioning.” The old man glared at him in disbelief, he was curious as well to know why a detective would come to his shop seeking to go around his store. Knowing the man would ask for a permit, Detective William brought out a white paper showing him the permit he got. The man sighed deeply, he shrugged his shoulders, stepped away from the counter and called a lady to replace him.Jason moved towards a direction and sat down as he observ
