She jerked upright, and the poison seeped in more. Anastasia’s eyes glazed over as she relaxed back into the seat. She could not protest much without the poison reacting.“What does that even mean?” She asked weakly.“It means I’m not responsible for whatever happens to you outside my home. You’ll get no protection from me.”Henry saw the way her expression changed from secretive to willing. She had thought it over and was trying to find a way to survive outside his home. That wasn’t Henry’s business. He has promised her the best he could. He leaned down with his hands on his knees and faced her again.“So tell me who sent you.” He said.She sniffed and relaxed fully into the chair before responding: “Anderson.”Henry glanced swiftly at Louis, “Who’s Anderson again?”“It’s the guy who killed Mrs. Cavil and we had to retaliate back.” Louis answered.“Right.” Henry turned back to Anastasia. “Anderson is dead. How did he get to tell you to attack us? Who were you communicating with on th
Henry woke up with the premonition that something was missing from him but he couldn’t exactly place his fingers on it. It was an unusual feeling; just like how there should be the noise of the traffic but there was none. He stretched and yelped in surprise when Homer jumped on him and began to lick his face.“Eww Homer,” Henry gagged a he turned his face away. “Your breath stinks.’Homer continued to lick his face and wag his tail in excitement. Henry smiled as he got out of bed and scoped the dog in his arms.“Whew! You’re quite heavy Homer. Nope, not going to do that today or any other day for that matter.He let Homer slid down his arms and left the room. Homer followed him closely and continued to bark. Henry was about wondering where the energy came from when he suddenly remembered Anastasia’s body being turned apart in pieces. He cringed mentally; remembering Louis’ shocked face and the firm decision that passed across his face. Henry knew that in that moment, Louis had made th
The group of three moved forward and peeped from the high building that they were on. One of them, a girl with short spiky hair, arranged the machinery at the right angles of the building. She was the only girl with them. The one who had assembled them, Joe leaned back and folded his arms while watching her work. She glared at him, but otherwise continued her work. This was an important mission, after all; they were not to mess it up.In their group, Joe has begun to learn their mannerisms. There was he who had organized this small group to carry out the mission; he was the one who received the signal from the American-Russian kid who apparently couldn’t hold her own. Joe was the brilliant mind behind their meeting. He was the one who had hacked into the organization and found out they were three of the programmed and booked to take out Henry Austin. The first one didn’t succeed, and that was where he came in.However, Joe had been in this business for far too long to know that not ev
Louis checked his phone a couple of times as he followed Henry up to his office. They passed by secretaries and workers who threw their greetings at them and sometimes stopped so that they could walk through. A secretary came up to Henry holding a single sheet of paper and looking very determined. Henry glanced around to make sure there was no one piling up after her.“What’s the matter?”“You haven’t been in here for a long time, Sir. The managers aren’t managing as much as they should.” The secretary said.“What is the matter?” Henry repeated. He didn’t stand there and listen to her. If the rest of the secretary sees her, they too would come up with their ridiculous demands and requests.“We need you here, sir,” the secretary said. “A lot of board members are requesting for meetings all round, but you haven’t been available to attend to those requests. Are you available now to attend to these requests?”“I’m not available to those things right now. I’ll attend to those things later.
Another shot rang. Henry and Louis fell to the ground as more shots rang and shattered the glass wall of his office. They rolled and hid behind his desk. Louis held the side of his stomach; he’d been shot.“Stay out of this!” Henry yelled to Louis. “We’ll run out and then you stay out of this let me handle, alright?”Louis nodded; he was losing blood fast and he was getting pretty white. On Henry’s signal, the both of them immediately rushed to the door and out before more shots rang out. There was chaos outside of his office and more chaos ensured when they saw Louis injured and bleeding.“Sir!” the secretary from before ran to him. “Are you okay? We called the police!”“Stay out of this and let me handle it!” Henry yelled back. “Take care of Louis and nobody leave this office!”There was an immediate silence at after his yelled instruction. After seeing that no one was going to make any mistake after his instruction, Henry ran out. From the corner of his eye, eh saw one of his many
Henry moved away from the dead assassin and stared at him for a moment. He reached out a hand and placed it on his nose to make sure the man was dead, then he stood up and looked around him. A siren rang close somewhere behind him. Henry knew it was time to run and leave everything behind. He took deliberate steps away from the scene, the side of his stomach aching. When he was hit, Henry had fallen on his side and risked the beginning of an injury he was not ready to carter for.He ran now, leaving everything behind. When Henry got to the side of the road and far away from the scene, he gently probed at the side of his stomach again, making sure that the injury wasn’t a severe one. Now that eh as alone, he exhaled and tried to reach towards the deep calm that was within him.“Hey. Are you there?”He heard nothing for a long, long while. Henry was beginning to feel dejected and useless. Had the system truly left him now? Is that what this was? Was it possible to leave without informin
Henry could not believe it. He refused to. There were places he hadn’t checked in, especially his garden. There was no way the system could be gone; even if all hands were pointing in that direction. Henry rushed forward. A cab passed, and he stuck out his hand urgently to flag it down. When it stopped, Henry jumped in and immediately have his orders.He noticed that his side was hurting in the drive. He reached for it absently and his hand came out with blood. He looked at it in surprise. Henry didn’t even know he had been shot. When did it happen? He tried to evaluate it in his mind; there must be a way in which it happened. Was it when he was in the office? Definitely not; it was Lucas it touched, and even if it was him, he would have noticed then. Was it when he rushed out of the office? It had to be. Henry was in an adrenaline rush and he may have overlooked the incessant shooting of the shooter in the building. It was reasonable that a bullet may have touched him since he had pu
Henry stared at his mug of coffee for a long, long time. This was his third refilling. He chugged it down his throat and pulled off his clothes. Henry touched his side; the wound there was sore and little. He knew it would fester if he left it, and showing up at the hospital was out of the question. He had already been injured and there was a mass shooting at his company of which he was not present; of course they would question him about the source of his bullet wound. Henry sighed as he trudged to the bathroom. He turned to the side and examined the wound; it was still bleeding slowly. He was surprised by this, Henry was naturally a fast healer.“What the hell man,” he muttered as he grabbed the first aid kit.Henry tore out a bunch of bandages and tried to dress the wound. It seemed to bleed even more, like his body was fragile. Abandoning that, he simply got a tiny knife to pry the single bullet out of his body.“Okay, let’s brace ourselves,” he said out loud then proceeded to twi
Evelyn noticed her sister isn't at home yet. She tried calling her number but it's isn't going.She tried the same for Henry's numbers but it wasn't going also. She decided to call Louis and it was the same thing."Fuck shott."She cursed"Why are they not picking where could they be?" She asked herself pacing around the room. She couldn't think straight. She didn't know what to do.She called their number, but it wasn't going.Evelyn slept that night and told herself she was going to go to their house first thing in the morning.*The Next Day.*Evelyn woke up feeling sad, she didn't know what was wrong with her, but she was just sad. She felt something was going wrong somewhere.She stood up and left the house without even bathing. She first went to the company hoping to find her sister there, but she did not.She heard the shareholders will be holding a meeting there, she couldn't find her sister. She then decided to go to Dexter's office. She couldn't find him also.She couldn't eve
"Sean are you ready to take your revenge?" Erica questioned him."Yes, I am so ready to take my revenge, where is the gun? Knife anything? I am fucking prepared every fuckin time." Sean replied Erica.Erica went to meet Sean and ask him if he is ready to take his revenge. Sean wanted to kill him by every means."I need Mike, the only person who can lure Henry is Mike." Sean told her."Consider it done." She assured him.Dexter was prepared for the operation, he wanted to take them down as fast as he can. He got a call from Erica that he should kidnap Sean first."Come and meet me at the warehouse immediately you are done." He said to her.Dexter was already with his guys in a dark and secluded warehouse, a group of people huddled around a table, planning their next move.This was not a typical meeting, but one with a sinister purpose. They were planning a kidnapping, and every detail had to be just right.Dexter showed them the target picture so they will not end up going for the wron
*Later That Day.*Erica was at Dexter's company, she went there immediately she was done with stuffs at her company. She also went there since he refused to answer her calls."We need to act fast, we don't know what the guy is planning. I loosed the video, and there isn't anything we can use against him anymore." Erica told Dexter he thoughts drinking the juice that was placed on the table."We will kill him if he has any other intentions, we are not going to let him bring us down." Dexter said to her."Since you said that guy is available, I guess he is will be the one to take the revenge. That way we will be free for the rest of our lives." Dexter said to Erica."Do you not feel we should kidnap him, that easy it would more easy for him to get killed." She said to him."Yes, I agree with you." Dexter told her."Don't you have some met out there that could help us with it. We can't do it on our own." She told him."That's true, I will find some useful guys that can assist us in kidna
*The Next Day.*Henry woke up the next morning feeling so refreshed, he slept peacefully like a baby in the night. He couldn't get to see Evelyn the other day because he was tired already.He decided he was going to see her today. He put on his dress. Seeing his ex is just terrible for him. He remembered how broke he was when he caught her.He remembered how he loosed all hope after she confessed everything to him. After she told him he doesn't love her."Why do I have to dress up?" He asked himself when he noticed how nicely he was dressing."Whatever." He muttered under his breath. Henry already told Evelyn about the meeting. He walked out of the bedroom, and saw Louis waiting for him."Don't tell me you are this well dresses because of her." Louis winked at him."Me? This is just a casual well, and I am well dressed because I want to dress nicely." He said to Louis"Woah, are you going to meet up with a girl? Is he going on a blind date?" Mike was surprised by his outfit immediatel
Henry ended the call immediately after listening to what the nurse told him."What happened?" Louis inquired ok seeing how devastated he was."Someone released Sean from the hospital claiming they are related, how does that makes sense?" Henry was beginning to get so angry."It was Erica." Louis told Henry."You knew it was her and you couldn't stop her? How did you find out that it was her?" Henry queried him"I planted a tracker in her car, I saw that she went to a place and that is not the office, neither Dexter's company. She must have been the one." Louis explained to him."I knew she is up to something, we must find a way to find out what she is up to. She might want to use him or something." Mike added."She didn't know I am out the prison yet right?" Henry wanted to confirm his thoughts."Yes, she didn't know you are out of the prison yet, we need to wait for a while. That was she will be unguarded." Louis answered.They got to their house in no time and did the necessary thin
Erica laid on the bed, she realized how tired she was. She didn't know when she slept off.Evelyn tiptoed into her room, her sister was sleeping so deep that she didn't even notice when someone entered the room.Evelyn searched for the other phone her sister barely use. She finally found it in her wardrobe. She tried unlocking it but she couldn't.She then went to where he sister was using, and decided to use her finger print to open it. It opened once.The first thing she did was to set a screen timeout. She left the bedroom, and went ahead to meet Louis where he was waiting for her.She walked up to where he parked his car and entered it."How was it? Did you not get it? I thought you said you were going to text me." Louis asked her."I got the phone." She answered and have him the phone she got from her sister.Louis first went to her iMessage, hoping he could find something there but he couldn't. He then whet to her storage.Luckily for him, he saw the videos there. He didn't know
Erica was happy with the scene that was going on. She was happy seeing how speechless Henry became."Wait, why me? I am not interested. Why should I become the ceo, laugh out loud." Erica acted surprised.She knew what she was doing, she didn't want to look. Suspicious to Louis."We have noticed that you are good for this job, and we would love to pick you." They informed her."Woah, looks as if I got no choice." She stoped up."If you know you would not want her to he the CEO, please can you raise your hands up." Someone announced but none of the shareholders could raise up their hands."Today, we declare ma'am Erica as the CEO of this company." The person who was in charge of the voting said."You are fired from this company, together with Mike. We find out you two might be a threat to the new CEO as you are not happy with her becoming the CEO." The shareholder passed across the information."What does Mike have to do with this? You can fire me instead and leave the poor guy alone."
"What do you want to see me for?" Erica asked Louis immediately she got to his office."I wanted to ask you few questions, is it possible for you to go to the house we just came back from. Can you get the security footage of everything that happened during our stay there?I think there is a spy there that got it release everything we did, and sent to our rival company." Louis asked Erica for a favor.He knew what he was doing. Even though he will have to loose an evidence that is as strong as that. His main aim was to confirm if Erica was the spy, and if she has someone she is working for."Sure, I will do that." Erica assured him with a smirk on her face."You are telling your greatest enemy to do the job for you." She said to herself."Consider it done." She assured him"Thank you very much." Louis appreciated."What about Henry? I haven't seen him! Hope he is okay?" She asked him."Sure, he will not be showing his face for the meantime. He will surely get back to you once he is bac
"The police are here for what?" Henry asked with his eyes wide opened."They insisted on staying at the entrance, and they are on their way here." The girl told him and she will not stop panicking.The police entered his office without knocking, with his secretary at their back."Mr. Henry you are under arrest. We will refrain you from talking, any word can be used against you in the court of law. You are allowed to also have an attorney." One of the police said to him."Find me a lawyer." Henry said to louis and followed the police men without asking them any questions.Henry followed them willingly without asking them any questions.Louis was still shocked with what happened. He knew what happened, he knew the reason he was arrested.Louis never imagined if there is a way they can get him saved. He decided to call Henry's best lawyer.He didn't want to go and Henry immediately to avoid any suspicions. A lot of people haven't figured out that he got arrested yet."I need you here imm
