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
It has been twenty-four hours since the meeting with Detective Briggs. Tristan had spent most of his day keeping an eye on the tracker he placed on Carl and doing research on the place he saw him.Coupled with the information he received from Briggs concerning Carl's whereabouts and who followed him around. Tristan was able to put together a plan on how to get Carl into his custody. However, he was not sure if his plan would be successful so he had a backup just in case.He was going to lead this kidnap by himself and even worse, he was going alone because he trusted no one but himself. From the audio recorder, he found out that Carl was going to a restaurant later at night with a man called Otis.From the conversation, he learned that Otis had a job for Carl to do, which he suspected to be another assassination. At first, Tristan searched for Otis on the internet and saw numerous results. If only he had a definite surname, then it would have been easier."Could Otis be the man after

"I just got the baby to sleep, damm," Claudia sighed and sat next to her husband on the couch."I guess the maids can't do everything, " she added."You gave birth to quite the town crier," Tristan chuckled and Claudia laughed,"We, gave birth... not just me, by the way, I found this in one of those old briefcases that you no longer use," she held up a string covered in glitter and Tristan's jaws dropped in shock."I can't believe it," He took it from her, staring at it with a mix of so many emotions. He remembered that string from five years ago when the system had asked him to play the philanthropist role and visit that orphanage. "She'd be a grown-up by now," He uttered and Claudia raised a brow wondering who he was talking about."I can't remember her name, but it was a young girl, about 5 years old I met her at an orphanage once, she was so happy to make me a bracelet, and I gave her my wristwatch in return, I can't believe I still have it after all these years.""Awn," Claudia
Getting rid of the barrier that stopped her hand from touching his skin, Claudia did the needful, and anyone might think it's massaging but that would be wrong, she played with it, constantly looking into Tristan's eyes to ensure that he responded accordingly to her punishment. With every trace of fluid, she could tell that he was at the breaking point, but she wanted him to say it, believing that a man who is thirsty enough wouldn't hesitate to beg for water to drink."Please," He finally gave in, he no longer saw the need to keep his thought to himself. He lost his mind a long time ago but has struggled to keep it together. That was all she needed to hear, the pleading voice of her man, his surrender to her, his submission and notng more, as much as she tortured him, Claudia tortured herself equally, so she was more than happy to begin the process.Letting Tristan get rid of her clothes, they both indulge in doing the needful, as Claudia took the lead like she wanted, but Tristan
"You wore this dress on purpose tonight, didn't you?" Tristan asked, gazing lovingly at his wife who sat on the bed where he lay. Her red silky short dress was alluring and no doubt tempting to whatever eyes see it, her red painted nails added to the mix as though she has untold agendas. She turned to him and replied,"What do you think, what's if I did?" She asked and Tristan could already tell what it was that his wife demanded.She had been busy all week, and this weekend she got a break, she had clung to him as though there was a piece of honey left that she had yet to taste."I think you did," Tristan replied and sat up, he leaned forward to kiss he on the lip but Clauide pushed him backwards. "No no," she said,"Lay back down, Tristan," she added, her voice was both soft and demanding, and what more could he do than listen to the woman who seemed to know what she wanted? He had been at home all day, rested enough and was always ready for her.Claudia climbed unto the bed and
One of the most expensive wedding venues in LA, and that was only the first stage of the wedding. He intended for a three days wedding, one at an indoor venue, which is where the current reception is taking place after the church. Another at an outdoor venue most likely close to a beach, and for the grand finally under the night sy on the rooftop of a hotel. As for what they will be doing at the venue all those days, that won't be a problem.Everyone is set, even up to the source of entertainment. The number of eminent personalities present at Tristan's wedding was unbelievable. What surprised people mostly was when the president showed up. Most people believe that after his son had been put behind bars for attempted murder that it might alter his relation with Tristan, but nothing changed.The first day was the main event, the reception took off by 4pm and lasted until 8pm, the food alone could anyone salivating even though they had had their fill.The dance between mother and son w
"I can't believe you did this," Claudia uttered whilst staring at the ring on her finger. She was lying in bed next to Tristan who was tired and would be going to bed soon."At least you said yes," Tristan uttered, stroking her hair gently because she was lying in his arms."Imagine how much I would have cried tonight if you had said no," He added jokingly.Claudia faked a frown and turned to face him,"Why would I say no?" She asked him,"It's been four years Tristan, and I always felt like I'd know when you would propose, but you took me completely by surprise. My friend and coursemates have been texting me nonstop, I can't even respond to all of them today, I'm too tired.""Look," Tristan pointed at the clock hanging on the wall,"it's past midnight, 1:44 am. You can reply to them tomorrow, it's not that urgent, I'm so tired too.""Of course, I won't reply to them tonight, they should be asleep too, it's just me who is too excited to sleep, you look tired and you should sleep, don'
"Holy shit," Claudia exclaimed as she walked into the venue accompanied by Tristan, her hands over he mouth. Not only was it a pleasant surprise but it was in that she never anticipated.As soon as her eyes met her mothers, Claudia's heart melted, she quickly turned to Tristan and asked,"How did you get all of them here?" "I'll never tell," Tristan smirked before being enveloped in a warm hug from her, "Thank you so much," she uttered with tears in the corner of her eyes, after which she vanished into the crowd and began greeting everyone she met.Firstly, her mother. It has been nearly two years since they last met in person, her father was also present and she couldn't use words to express how grateful she was to them for showing up.Next was Tristan's mother, even since she moved to LA with Tristan, she barely saw the lady, and she was more than happy to meet her again. Ariana on the other hand was so grown and almost unrecognisable, that she hugged the young woman before procee
“Sleeping?” Claudia smiled as she walked into the room and gazed upon her handsome man on the bed. Her entrance had disturbed his sleep but he didn’t mind.“Welcome back,” Tristan greeted her while running his finger over his sleepy eyes. He quickly stole a glance at the clock to ensure that he hadn’t slept past the time he wanted to, unfortunately he had. But he didn't panic so much, Claudia had gotten back an hour earlier, so all he needed to was to get ready and urge her to get dressed too."How was work?" He inquired, trying to keep the conversation simple because he had told her nothing about the party."Stressful, as always," She sat next to him on the bed, she placed a kiss on his cheek and stood up immediately, she wanted to take shower before anything."I told you not to go to work on your birthdays, it is not that big of a deal, if your boss as much as threatens to fire you, I'll buy the hospital and make you the owner." Tristan flaunted with a smirk as he threw his head b
"Do you think she will like it?" Tristan asked as he stared at the hall that had been decorated for more than a million dollars."It looks great, don't worry, she will like it." His mother tapped his back with a smile. "By the way, when does she get back from the hospital?" she asked."5 pm, " Tristan answered, and suddenly noticed that he wasn't seeing his cake."Where is the cake?" He asked."Her cake?" his mom asked and he nodded,"I don't know, but it can't be here by now, it'll melt before she even shows up, it's just noon. I want to go get my nails done, and it's going to be a grad party." His mother excitedly walked out of the hall."I'll go with Mom, don't worry brother, she will love it," Ariana hugged him before running out of the hall after her mother, she also wanted to get her nails done.Tristan drew a chair from the set-up, and sat down with a sigh, he couldn't believe that it had been four years since the system left, and it had been four years since he met Claudia.
