As all eyes stared in his direction and Tristan's heart skipped a beat for a second. For a second he almost forgot that he was with someone else's face."Hey Bryan, are you alright? You look tense?" One of them asked him.Tristan wondered what they were doing on the computer, each one had a device in front of them and seemed to be on a very important job."Yeah, I'm good," Tristan replied and walked towards a vacant seat at the far end of the room. He believed that Bryan occupied it since it was the only vacant spot."You should be leaving for Florida soon, the flight had been arranged and everything had been sorted out. Also, we have all created a bank account with fake IDs to send all the money into."Tristan was rather clueless about what the man was talking about, but he only nodded his head and sat down in front of the computer.He immediately saw the locker that was spoken of and it had a fingerprint sensor. Tristan placed his index finger on the sensor and hoped it worked. Fort
"I'm way ahead of you, young man, just step out of the bend slowly, if you have a weapon then slowly drop it, you do not want to get on my bad side do you?"Tristan's heart skipped a bit, he wasn't sure whether or not he was being spoken to or someone else, but as far as he was concerned, he was the only one at the bend. "How did he know?" Tristan wondered as he looked around only to realize that there were security cameras everywhere. "Oh shit!" He whispered, how could he have missed that?"You had ten seconds." Fed's voice echoed through the hallway and Tristan knew that he was busted, but it still didn't make sense to him. Was there someone else keeping an eye on him? Was he being tracked?Without hesitation, Tristan slowly walked out of the bend with both his hands raised in surrender. As soon as they set eyes on him, both of the men who were standing by Fred on each side readied their guns to fire at Tristan, but Fred stopped them and said,"Do not waste your time, I don't know
"I have been waiting for a long time to have you in my hands, and now that I do, I am not just going to let you sip off," Tristan exclaimed in a fit of rage.While the fight was going on a few minutes back, Tristan had asked the system to unlock the escape emergency door and once it did, Tristan directed their combat in there.Fred was undeniably strong, and his tactics and aims were good, but Tristan was better. With the help of the system, he dominated the fight and always had the upper hand.In no time, Fred was at his mercy and Tristan was holding him up against the wall and pressing tightly unto his throat. "Mr Coleman will be very proud of me that I caught you," Tristan smirked and he made sure to choke Fred until he was almost out of breath."You'll never succeed, we have a foolproof plan," Fred muttered he struggled to breathe and speak, but he was sure that the man in front of him was not going to do much."We'll see about that," Tristan mumbled and punched him across the fa
"Fred!" Stella exclaimed, as two of Tristan's guards threw Fred into that room. He was still in the state of unconsciousness so he did not respond to Stella."Your boss isn't it?" Tristan walked majestically into the room, the smirk on his face was enough to tell Stella that he was on another level. He was far ahead of them. To further buttress his point, Tristan took out the flash drive from his jacket and flaunted it on her face."I guess your so-called boss, is now here with you. look at this in my hand," he said,"This is everything that underworld of yours planned isn't it? hmm." he scoffed and took a few steps closer to her.He grabbed her by the chin and looked directly into her eyes."They have failed." He said and Stella didn't hesitate to slap him across the face.She wanted to start a fight, but Tristan pinned her down, but lost his balance and they both fell on the bed with Tristan over her.She looked into his eyes, those charming that that was close to making love to her
It felt as though they couldn't wait for his return, or perhaps they couldn't. Because, as soon as Tristan got out of the car, everyone including his mother, Ariana, Aunty Sarah, and her children Tyla and John were waiting outside for him."It's cold outside, you guys didn't have to come out to see me," Tristan said with a smile on his face. Deep down, he felt welcomed, it warmed his heart to see that they were happy about his arrival but then again, he was going to break the news to them today that he was leaving for Florida the next day."Why not!" his mother embraced him with a warm smile. Seeing her son back home alive was a relief. Throughout his absence, she had tried so hard to hide how worried she was and had also tried not to call him often to avoid his complaints."Uncle," John and Tyla greeted him simultaneously. Being his aunt's children, they were his cousins but due to the age gaps between them, they saw him more like an uncle than a cousin.He hugged them and asked how
"If anyone had ever told me that you were going to be the one here tonight, trust me I would have never believed them, a man of honor like yourself shouldn't be involved in such cases but... who am I to judge you?" Briggs said.He sat over a desk, on one side and Fred on the other side. It was a detective session and there was no smile on Briggs's face."Listen to me, Briggs," Fred lowered his voice and took his head lower to the table."Keep your bribery to yourself, Mr Benson," Detective Briggs interjected,"Whatever you are willing to offer me to help you out of this, just know that Mr Coleman can give me a hundred times more," he added with a sneer."Will you just shut up and listen to me?" Fred yelled and Detective Briggs raised his brow in surprise."Wow," he exclaimed,"I've never seen a convict act this bold in my years as a detective, but either way, I'll skip whatever it is that you want to tell me. Just answer my question directly, who is after Mr. Coleman's life? "" I wis
"So? What are the results?" Tristan asked, his facial expression alone demanded answers, and he just wanted to know the and nothing more.It was the next day and he said goodbye to his family at noon, he had to intention to come back home because after meeting with Detective Briggs, they were to leave for Florida together.Now seated in Mr Briggs's office, Tristan was impatient for the results of the lie detector test, the look on Detective Briggs's face was not convincing, and Tristan hoped for something positive, no matter how little."Well sir, it was no good, neither Fred nor Stella knows who the big boss is, it appears he is hidden from the people who work for him as well." Detective Briggs answered with a long sigh.Tristan knocked his hand on the desk in anger, turned out kidnapping Stella was useless, so why did the system make him do it? he wondered."Although, we got some information from Stella." Detective Briggs caught Tristan's attention with that statement. The young qua
It was midnight when the plane landed in Florida, and without hesitation, Tristan's men who were already in Florida took him straight to his apartment while Mr. Briggs headed for another apartment, one that he bought himself a few years back.Upon reaching the apartment, Tristan sighed in relief, he wasn't going to be alone at least because when he bought this apartment, he did it for Harry to live in while he focused on his school and work as the managing director alongside Jennes. Tristan did not tell Harry that he was coming over either, he wanted it to be a surprise, so he had a smile on his face when the door was opened for him and he walked into the living room.But as soon as he did, those smiles vanished and were replaced with shock. Harry was sitting on the couch watching television, while Jennes was lying on the couch with her head on Harry's lap also watching the series.Both parties were immediately surprised by his unexpected appearance, they stared at him in disbelief a
