2024-11-13 16:23:17They stared at him to let the cat out of the bag as time was of the essence.
“... Marshall planned on proposing to Michelle on fortnight during the endorsement deal event…” he completely voiced out in a cracked tone. The fear of the unknown struck quivers down his buckled spine and all he could do was mumble pitiful prayers. “Interesting!” “Perfect timing!” “For your sake. Don't mention this beautiful meeting to your accomplices,” he chipped in, his words oozed dangerously. “In two weeks, we'll reconvene this conversation.” “However, on second thought?...” “What could have prompted y'all to call the shots for my extermination? You haven't told me why you guys contracted the assassins?” Barr. Fredrick nervously cleared his throat and darted his eyes in fear as he knew he hadn't yet revealed that one deep secret. “Get ready to spill the whole truth at the so-called proposal night…” *** Fortnight on the dot, Manchester City headlines exquisitely broadcasted the endorsement glamor that would have Michelle Sanchez honored. The distinguished guests had already arrived for the red carpet, which was scheduled for the 19th o'clock. Madam Catherine, dressed in a stunning emerald green evening gown with her jewel adorned for the memorable event. She found her path into the event with several splashes of camera shutters positioned on her face to catch the golden moments. Within five minutes, a black limousine screened at the entrance of the auditorium. Michelle alighted with an irresistible aura enthralled by her glamorous uniquely crafted designers, her dinner gown was clothed in sapphire blue. “Michelle Sanchez. Do you feel worthy of the endorsement deal as the new face of Kingstown Golden Telecommunications, given the fact the company’s heir is your fiance?” one of the interviewers skillfully inquired with tongue charmed with sarcasm. “Hey! Dumb question! We're behind schedule,” Marshall vigorously intercepted and walked off with his fiancèe which got the interviewers gazing in suspicion. “Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, we welcome y'all to one of the most talked about events in Manchester City. “Observing the existing protocol. Shall we begin? As time is of the essence.” “Right on the projector screen, our eyes would meet the mesmerizing stunner who would soon be recognized as the new face of Kingston Golden Telecommunications,” the host graciously expressed in all delight. Madam Catherine and Michelle beamed in joy as the exalted moments were before their eyes. Unexpectedly, an adult videotape was displayed on the projector screen which vigorously sparked the attention of every distinguished personnel in the hall. “Oh My God!” The journalists screamed out. “Gosh! What the hell!?” Many of the guests buzzed at what their eyes had beheld. Madam Catherine inhaled in terror, her eyes bulged out in horror as shame mesmerized her. On reflection, Michelle’s veins ran cold while she struggled to exhale. “What the fuck is going on?!” “Tech unit?” Marshall barked out in uncontrolled disbelief. He snapped his fingers for them to take off the videotape, but the contents kept replaying in their faces. “My Heaven's! Is that not Mrs Catherine Sanchez having sex with another man?” A good number of the seated personnel voiced out in disbelief, the displayed videotape oozed despicable disgrace. Barrister Frederick’s legs trembled in dishonor; as seconds raced by; his heart choked in fear of the possible shameful reaction they'd encounter. He never knew there was such an indicting adult-rated video all along. “Mum!? You've been sleeping with the family lawyer? My God!” Michelle unbelievably uttered as she clutched her elbow on her thighs with a buckled spine. Catherine was slammed into a pounding introspective aura as fear enveloped her entirety; she didn't know who in hell's name could have recorded her sexcapades with Barr. Frederick. UNBELIEVABLE! Unbeknownst, Michael Scofield knew about the despicable affair and once made a video recording but couldn't show Mr. Charleston the shameful deeds being hatched in his abode due to his deteriorating health. He never knew he'd need that adult-rated videotape someday. Indistinct and distinct conversations lingered amongst the distinguished personnel who were yet to wrap their heads around what was unfolding. “This is preposterous! An absolute eyesore!” The crowd fussed nonstop, their teeth smacked in contempt as they shot Madam Catherine a shameful glare. “A married woman sleeping with another man in her matrimonial bed!?” “So shameless!” They continued with their sanctimonious speeches which intensified the aroused tension and ridiculed the ashamed Augustine family. “Who in the earth’s name is behind this? The videotape can't be stopped!?” Marshall heightened, his eyes gleamed in shocked perplexity. Suddenly, a distorted voice reverberated from the center of the hall. “I did!” All mouths gasped, and their eyes flickered toward where the sound echoed from; some quickly arose to catch a glimmer of the personnel behind the voice as all voices went numb. The personnel behind the commotion majestically arose and strode four steps forward, his composure charmed with mystery and puzzlement. “Who are you? Your face doesn't mark a precedent,” Marshall instantly questioned with his eyes narrowed. The man behind the voice muffled a scornful giggle and gently but skillfully undressed the hyper-realistic face mask he had worn all along. “My God! You're… the… one?” Catherine breathlessly gutted out, she swallowed hard as though a ghost had reawakened while Marshall restlessly stood with his feet quivering. “Are you not supposed to be—” Michelle was about to spill too much when she abruptly held back her words, her heartbeat ragged in confusion. “How in angel's name did you—?” Marshall reactively expressed, his words etched with incoherence. “How in death's name is he still alive? Huh!” The Augustine family terribly mused nonstop. The invited distinguished were intrigued in awe, they beheld the mysterious young man unveiling his real face as none easily grasped who he was. All along, none of his foes knew he was right there in their midst in a disguised form, wearing an undetectable human-skin face mask. Amidst the disarrayed moments, he scornfully ambled towards them with a menacing, disdainful chuckle. Their throats leaped into their chests, knowing the evil they masterminded against him failed woefully. Realization hit them damn hard; their hearts plunged into conflicting pathetic thoughts. “If he could leak the sexcapades what more wouldn't he do?” Madam Catherine's heart bled in fear. He unleashed a dry, contemptuous chuckle that struck more suspense, fear, and tension into the atmosphere, while he wore back his mystified hyper-realistic face mask; from his disposition, he only got started. “I’m Michael Scofield!” “... I’ve returned!”

***** “Yeah come in.” A yellowish metal office door creaked open, which unveiled a good-looking young man dressed in a classic white shirt with plain black trousers. “You single-handedly fished out those bad eggs from Charleston Park Shopping Mall. I do not doubt your capacity and how you'd succeed in saving my winery company,” those words hit his consciousness as he darted his eyes at the fresh breath office. Earliest hours of the morning, Lord Eric had vehemently resounded those words to mentally prepare him for the task ahead. Michael didn't entirely know why Eric had unwavering trust in him but he had vowed to himself to fish out the moles before a premeditated assassination plot that nearly took Sheraton’s life get repeated. His appearance was nothing exceptional or flashy, just neat, well-ironed outfits that exuded simplicity and coordination. He bestowed on his face a mild smile which sparked an approachable demeanor at the slightest glance. “Good morning,” his v
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 17: “Stephanie's Epistle!”
“Does she know me from Adam? Her words oozed with recollection,” Michael, in the shortest period of reflection, mused with his eyes temporarily downwards. He absent-mindedly tiptoed his tongue across his premolars with prevailing questions etched in his heart. He pondered if Stephanie possibly knew his connection with Lord Eric beforehand. [Could the undercover mission have become not so confined as they thought?] Stephanie's mouth widened, her eyes bulging out in awe. She took three steps further, which got him wondering what the gorgeous young lady was up to. “Do you recall now? The lady in blue? Worrisome teary face? Screaming out loud on the coldest night?” “It all transpired one year, two months ago? Do you recall now?” He narrowed his eyes a little more as a slight resemblance struck his blood flow. After a few moments of introspective state, he stretched his right finger, followed by a building giggle, about to spill out some engaging words. “Wait! You’re…” h

“I… I'm confused as well!”“The winery building hardly attracts such noises,” Stephanie sharply responded with undefined words still stuck in her head.A ding sound was perceived in the hallway; it was the elevator; one of the junior staff from the basement floor had just walked out, his face aggravated as though something had altered his mood, which Michael and Stephanie could clearly perceive.“It’s Raymond and Cleopatra again!”“They badly spoke to a client and hell has broken loose!” The staff informed them with a thick frown before dragging his feet to the east wing of the second floor.Michael was somewhat confused at the names the staff had just mentioned but he suspected the raised voices emanated from the basement floor.“Those silly receptionists! Arghhh!” Stephanie groaned and sneered in displeasure.“I don't understand how two adults would be such a pain in the arse. This isn't the first time they're orchestrating such a fuss!” her words oozed with disgust, which abruptly

The sound of the voice from every ounce of texture was feminine inclined, which was mouthed from the one and only— the Goddess of Beauty— Miss Sheraton Morgan, who had been silent for over five minutes.Earlier, all attention was rapidly drawn towards the commotion that none of the staff knew she had arrived for duty.Eyes were instantly glued at her as none of the female staff could match toe to toe—aura for aura with her unrivaled beauty.“The Beauty personified has arrived,” some of the staff muffled while they audibly greeted the Production Manager.She elegantly cat-walked towards the three clients with a beautifully mystified smile charmed on her face which induced almost all personnel to stare at her with mouth agape.The two once-aggravated male clients muffled a beam while desperately drooling at her irresistible magical aura.“Please, how may we serve you better? What are the complaints? So we could see them solved,” she emphasized standing beside Michael who maintained a st

Michael and Sheraton stood in shock silence for over five seconds; they understood the implication of the complaints and how it could drag Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise to the mud if it got to the ears of the media. “We believe it was a production abnormality but such mistakes should be tackled without hesitation.” “Other clients could have used that as an opportunity to blackmail Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise but we wouldn't do that.” “We have a solid nurtured friendship in business which has grown over the years,” the female client had a somewhat serious demeanor while delivering her speech. Sheraton was still in disbelief at how some of the wine bottles were half-filled. Without debates, she knew it transpired right under her nose and she never took cognizance of it. “We are so sorry for the inconvenience thus far. We promise to put our house to ensure such never happens.” “We would give your organization a mega discount on your next purchase. You know our mega disco

Michael Scofield literally felt his throat tingling as he leaned further and wiggled his brows at Lord Eric to spill out the premeditated name already.His face was somewhat concocted with a frown, and he would preferred the caller to dial the Great Lord's cell line after their intense conversation was over.The call had rung for about five seconds— Lord Eric chimed a beam at him with a hint he was about to indulge the caller.Michael knew how personal the Great Lord took phone calls, especially when someone he knew needed to communicate with him.“We will continue shortly. I need to indulge Mr. Snow Ambrose…”He managed to spill out and winked at Michael before engaging with the aforementioned caller.Lord Eric knew his boy would have expected him to temporarily ignore the first ring call but had to pick up because he didn't know what could have caused Snow to dial his line.Michael leaned back to the couch and slightly sighed in thought while waiting for the Great Lord to be done.“

Apparently, he was calm in speech, and I didn't even want him to stress himself to make explicit explanations.Clearly, that was weird of the Great Lord which got the Young Lord somewhat perplexed.“I have known you enough to know how diligent you are in whatever you believe in. If it was something that I needed to know you'd have told me already in the last few days.”“I believe a lot is happening in your life, and you're transitioning to a better version of yourself. Don't worry about telling me what you believe I shouldn't know yet till the time is ripe.”“Whenever you're ready to spill the juice. I'll be all ears but for now. Welcome back, my boy!”Lord Eric's words carried lots of weight despite using a low tone to express himself.Michael embraced him once again and whispered to his left ear: “Thank you. Thank you for understanding.”Lord Eric nodded thoughtfully and firmly while patting his shoulder— a tinge of emotions etched on both faces while they giggled and teased each ot

Lord Eric Sanchez hid behind a wall in the living room while he muffled a few seconds of laughter after his boy teased him from a distance.Michael Scofield wore a charming smile while the domestic staff helped with the entrance door as they should.Others, without being told, carried two of the bags he was gifted in the old healer's abode with some of his clothing.His instincts expressed that Lord Eric should have perceived his voice earlier and kept mute or possibly hiding.Apparently, that was how much both men had bonded in the past few months after their paths crossed.He stepped into the living room with high hopes to see Lord Eric— he darted his eyes across different corners of the house but was still standing at a point.He returned his eyes to some of the household staff members a few miles away who were still shining their teeth in excitement.They observed how he was suddenly gazing at them and slightly lowered their faces while indulging in muffled smiles.It dawned on hi

They had been staring at him in silence and knew he was battling with several inward thoughts that he hadn't shared with them in the past six days after his return from office on the day of Lilian's arrest.Ethan had discussed it with his grandfather, who insisted the Shepherd should be given a level of privacy to sort out his heart thoughts with his personal struggles, which was common with every gifted heir.The old healer believed nothing was strange about Michael drifting in thought and, a couple of times, musing to himself— he was a human and would have in-depth questions to mumble upon.“Our Shepherd. The training never ends as each day comes with new things to learn about humans and the act of healing them.”“Remember to conduct your daily meditation exercise at the earliest dawn and before you retire for the day. It helps to keep your mind and powers active so you wouldn't be taken by surprise when the time to save someone has arrived.”After a couple of seconds and silent eye

Chapter 87: The Invisible Subject!!!
Stephanie had few words yet unspilled and had to bounce back to words before the suspicion abounded.Lilian stared through her and could smell the uncertainty entrapped on her assistant's curious facial expression.“Sir. I actually met him a couple of times during my internship period. However, when I officially got employed, he was already apprehended and sacked.”Michael nodded thoughtfully and arose while holding Jake's phone on his right finger.He was exhausted with the back and forth and needed to find a way to get to the peak of the investigation.“Haha!”“Did you know your boss has been involved in several shady businesses?” He fixated his eyes on Stephanie with his face completely enmeshed with ease.DING!Lilian dreaded in growing fear, it was beginning to make sense why Michael Scofield called her in for a meeting alongside her assistant.Stephanie bulged her eyes out and uncontrollably stared at Lilian and Michael with her mouth agape.She never knew the meeting was about
Chapter 86: “But What?”
Immediately Michael Scofield’s words crept out of his mouth— John and Jake tightened up their loose countenance and maintained a calmer demeanor.They didn't need a soothsayer to tell them how complicated it would be to trap Lilian if she profoundly sensed something awkward with them.During the first five seconds of her entrance, Michael waited to know if she'd fall, victim, as John and Jake did in mouthing too much than expected.Apparently, she seemed different and only proceeded to greet the COO while waiting for him to pop the expected question about salary and incentive increments.Michael's question rang a different tone in her head, and slowly, she exchanged eye contact with her assistant, who still hadn't fathomed the motive behind the meeting.Lilian was trying to make sense of the twisted reality before her and find answers to questions she was entertaining inwardly:‘My possible closeness with the ex-COO? The former elevated staff member who was sacked over a year ago? I t
Chapter 85: Let The Drama Continue!!!
She didn't know exactly how to feel or whether she had been overthinking things lately about Michael and Stephanie or if it was normal for him to be whirled up with several thoughts.She had done everything possible to always enthrall Michael's attention, but one way or the other, the Adonis of Manchester seemed to redirect his attention to other things, and that has been discouraging.Michael had been the first man to treat Sheraton professionally for a longer time and that was entirely shocking to her.All men who had found a path with her always desired to date her, but with Michael, nothing was actually guaranteed, and that had been a puzzle that she hadn't been able to solve.She presumed Michael should have already perceived how she felt about him due to how sensitive he was but deliberately didn't want to delve on that path with her.“We must hurry. We can't keep the COO waiting for so long.”Lilian, whose countenance had been basking with a smile, informed her assistant of the
Chapter 84: Sheraton's Dilemma!!!
Immediately, Sheraton strategically ended the call with a smirk etching in her heart; the office temporarily slammed into a thoughtful state, with each person having a distinguished idea to ponder on.Despite how clinical and spontaneous Jake was on the phone— Sheraton somewhat had doubts if Lilian would profoundly buy the pretentious idea of the meeting taking longer time than it should.On the contrary, Michael Scofield's thought patterns weren't related to whether Lilian would suspect anything dicey or not.He was most interested in Stephanie and how compromised or naive she could be about the shady endeavors of her direct boss.Not quite far from Sheraton's perspective— Jake wasn't completely confident about his level of spontaneity in conceiving Lilian about the so-called thirty drafted smaller companies.He presumed he should have done better while on the hot spot and gave an enticing excuse than the one he mouthed.Knowing how sensitive and coordinated Lilian was— she could per
