"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
The conference hall was full of wealthy men and women trooping in and out with documents, some with smiles on their faces and others with a frown. Florida held one of the biggest computer science conferences but today wasn't a conference, rather it was a semblance to get Tristan's attention.Tristan's car had just pulled up in front of the parking lot, his dressing today was unlike anyone had ever seen before. Furthermore, the number of cameramen and news reporters who waited outside his car was unbelievable."Who the hell brought these people here?" Tristan wondered, because the last time he checked, his popularity wasn't up to the standard of being followed around by the press."I can make a call to get rid of them sir, if you want." Jennes offered to, but Tristan shook his head."No need, I'm interested in knowing what they want to hear from me." He added.Max got out first, and the other security guards who came in a second car stood before the door. Max opened the door and Trista
The meeting ended after an hour and everyone began to leave one after another leaving just Tristan and Carl in the room. Tristan had managed to defend himself, he tackled every single accusation with the right answer, and he didn't just stop there but showed them proof of his response."You came prepared, I like that," Carl uttered as soon as the third man left the room."Carl, aren't you_" Drake Hart's younger brother? yes, you are correct. I'm the one you met there that night." Carl replied before Tristan could finish his statement.Tristan was confused, Carl wasn't the big boss, or so he thought. He believed that Carl didn't have that much power, and everyone who talked about him only said that he knew who the big boss was."So that's why you did all of this?" Tristan asked him with a straight face to observe his reaction and to see how he would respond to it."Why I did do what?" Carl acted as though he didn't know what Tristan was talking about. He bent over picked up the glass
"I'll be back with them in a few minutes." said the waiter as he walked away to put their orders together."I heard that you settled the matter already," Briggs remarked whilst looking out the glass window of the restaurant."There was never anything to resolve, but I'm glad that I went there because I met Carl, that's why I called you," Tristan replied and his statement intrigued Detective Briggs to the point where he sat upright and faced Tristan."That was easy." He whispered and leaned forward into the table."It was bound to be easy," Tristan retorted,"especially since he was the one who made the arrangements for me to come to Florida. I know who Carl is, I haven't met him before but have heard about him_" Who is he? " Detective Briggs asked, he expected to hear that Carl was a son from a wealthy family, that he was related to a top politician or worked for a secret government agency, only to be shocked by what Tristan said next."He is Drake Harts's brother, Carl Hart," Trista
