GOODNEWS ALAS!“Hello, Peter, you have the courtesy to finally call. So thoughtful of you.” Derek said sarcastically.“I'm sorry boss, I got carried away by our victory so I slept off.” Peter apologized.“That's really interesting. I'm sure you need my applause, to commend you for a work well done. It doesn't change the fact that you kept me in the dark!”“As I said earlier, I apologize for a my insubordinate act. I'll report always from now on.” Peter replied repentantly.“So what happened because Mario called and said the boy didn't do his part.” Derek asked.“That's because I did his part, I have her in my palms and she's working for us now.” Peter said excitedly.The joy Peter in sharing the news was commensurate on the other end. He was so cold and lackadaisical. He got what he so much wanted but his spirits wasn't high. Peter suspected something was wrong. Something else bothered him apart from the fact that he didn't report on time.“I don't need to know the details, as far as
MANIPULATING THE PAWNHe rushed out quickly to break the good news to Margret or Madam Margret, so she was called. He would take all the praise for eventually working out a ting to see Luther II, the terrorizer of the rich. Indeed the brain actually contained the head. He entered the dinning with smiles on his face. Maya was the first to notice his ebullient countenance and couldn't help but be vivacious as well.“What's making you so happy?” Maya asked.Everyone turned to look at him. Victoria looked all around him and saw him with envelopes.“I bet the good news is in that envelope.” “Spill the beans, suspense isn't good for me.” Isabella said anxiously.He kept smiling and spinning his eyes. His silence made them even more anticipatory that Margret couldn't contain it anymore.“Son, what's the matter? Say it.”“Luther II has invited the Windsors to a party tomorrow night and we'll get to see him finally.”“Wow! That's great news. You've really proven to be very useful and smart. I
“You seem nervous, what do you think I want to ask.” Peter asked curiously.“Well I don't know,” she breathed out deeply, “don't keep me in suspense, what's it?”“I'm more interested in what you're thinking than what I'll say.” Peter said, smiling at her.“Well you can't hear it if you're not speaking.” Sarah said confidently.“I want to know the venue, where is it taking place?” Peter asked, drawing close.“I don't know, as you know, we've never met and he's never shown me.” Sarah replied.“I thought you were loyal to your boss and not willing to betray him. It doesn't seem like anything is stopping you.” Peter asked disappointedly.“It's because it is you, I find it hard to say no.” Sarah said solemnly, with her face down.He predicted her coming closer to him something else could occur, something which she loved but he wasn't going to give her that pleasure. He stood up and started heading home.“Since you don't know, I'll be on my way home.” Peter said casually.“You're just using
Maya found Isabella and her boyfriend kissing in her room, the door was a little open. It wasn't a chaste kiss. It was a deep and passionate kiss. Maya knew such shouldn't interest her but she couldn't help but stare at the light skinned young man who got her sister enthralled in his web of magic. She blatantly gawked at her sister's naked passion for him and his for her.It was at this point she knew her sister was deeply in love with him. The saying that men were manipulated by love was totally truth. Isabella couldn't endure even a fly hurting her but freely allowed her boyfriend chastise her. She called it a couple's fight and insinuated that she knew nothing about it. Imagine her baby sister! What did she know about love? Knows nothing of a couple's fight? She was once a couple with Davin and she fought everyday with him, or is that not included as fight?It was the first time she had witnessed her boyfriend being completely different from her first impression. He was sweetly ena
It was best to say that there were always going to be bad days but better days were here sooner than expected. The young man who was humiliated in a birthday party was the reason they were all going to gather today. He couldn't wait for it, he anticipated a lot of retribution, it was a day to be happy about. It was few minutes past 2am and too much happiness made him lose sleep. He went to the paseo, his balcony was an elegant space which consisted of expensive antiques and sophisticated items. He stood behind the railings with a glass of wine at his right hand side. He wore a white shirt which white trousers. It was a beautiful view from where he stood.The martial arts veteran smiled at the street lights that are the city glow and sipped his wine tastefully. They were actually new ways of enjoying the misfortune he was about to put the Windsors and Derek in, like sitting up here watching them suffer grossly for their inability to see beyond the veil covering their eyes. The veil of
An interesting day started with the sun shining so brightly. Kendrick spent the night because it was too late. No, it wasn't too late as he insisted to go but she gaslighted him into sleeping over. The power of women was not to be toyed with. Now he was being dressed to come up for breakfast, how scintillating. If Derek didn't come then yeah, it would be Isabella with a man beside her this time and aunty Victoria will have to sit beside Maya or away from her. Maya woke up earlier than usual. Sleep was an unconscious activity where the body laid at rest but it could be interesting as well. She didn't look like she was happy and had a good night rest, it showed on her face. She took her facial skin care products and applied them on wearily. She then brushed her teeth slowly, it was a Friday, there was no need to rush.The maidservant knocked on her door and she answered tiredly.“Come in,” She said weakly.“Madame Maya, breakfast is ready.” The maidservant said.“Okay, I'll be downstai
“Tell me about Mr. Tom, anything new?” Derek requested as he settled himself in the back of the car.Mario turned to speak to him. “He's a business tycoon, an elder statesman who's had his finger in the political pie for years, so I intend to concentrate on showing him our products,” he explained. “However, the second guy, Don Carlos, is the one who is really interested. He has connections with the Feds and can help us when we have issues. He's also a politician but for the Southern province.“His father was a kingpin in the game and was an ex policeman.” Raul provided, accelerating away.“-- and my hope is that he'll give us a better deal than the Mexicans. Their monopoly is strong here in the south that's why they charge so high. Because they know there's no one else to buy from.”“So you think working with Mr. Tom and Don will make us relevant again.” Derek asked curiously.“Yeah, we promised to deliver one thousand bags in two weeks and it's very feasible because we have slashed t
Davin clapped as James entered his room. “You're doing so well I must say.”“You have no idea what it is like out there.” James said tiredly.“You seem very stressed. You have to rest to be sharp and active in tonight's event.” Davin advised.“Yes definitely, I will. Were you watching me?” James asked, he was suprised.“Im always up here alone, it won't be so bad if I snuck up to witness the fun personally.”“But you know it's risky. If they see you thy could leak it to-“Someone and that someone leaks to another and the surprise is ruined and the party doesn't do what it's intended to do. But you forget I'm extraordinary man and careful indeed so no need to worry.”“Okay if you say so.” James said casually.“Alright make sure you rest, I'll be in the paseo doing what I love best.” Davin chuckled, about to step out.“Lest I forget, he followed me.” James said, pulling his shoes off.“Who followed you? Derek?” Davin asked curiously.“No not him, his boy.” James answered, relaxing on
