Hands rammed together in applause as Mandy walked up to the stage. She wore a very bright smile on her face, waving at everyone. She got on stage and released a breath of fresh air."Thank you everyone. This means a lot to me, considering how horrific and heart wrenching the last two weeks of my life has been. In all, I'm delighted to let you all know that Mandy Asher is back and here to stay!"She screamed and everyone cheered her on. When the noise came down. She adjusted on her two legs getting ready for her speech."I have come up here because someone called me out and as much as I appreciate him, I return all the glory to God. You know, it's really hard to be in business. Because our line of work has to do with making profits and more profits and no one wants to encounter loss. Though loss is inevitable, we try as much as we can to cut it down and avoid it. I'm sure we all can relate." She chucked and everyone nodded their heads in affirmation."Well, last month, just like every
Guards! Tie and bring me along!" Governor Clark barked and his men marched up to Robinson and bonded him, then hauled him away from the crowd. Everyone stared after him in awe and some with disgust. “What a scam!” “To think I nearly fell into this blood sucking scheme of theirs!” Oh! How I love the fact that they met their match!” Men and women whispered among themselves at the side. Not long after Robinson was taken away, he was forgotten. All attention turned at Mandy and Declan. It seemed as if the event was all about them from the onset because it was suddenly hijacked and was turned to her welcome back party. “You look really pretty. No one would be able to tell you went to hell and back.” Some of the business women who clustered around Mandy commended. “Oh don’t flatter me. I am grateful to God and my doctor.” Mandy said, sending a glance Declan’s way. The womens’ eyes followed the line of her sight and they all cheesed. “You two look really good together. You got the
“Boss!”Two loyal men of Robinson ran down from their car when they saw that the other men had reached a reasonable distance. They covered their nose from the stench that came from their boss’s body. He seemed to be a dead corpse already.They had followed their boss and his abductors all these while and had looked for an opportunity to rescue their boss.When the men put Robinson’s body in a trunk, they followed them. “Are you sure he is not dead?”One asked his other colleague with panic“He is alive, I can feel his pulse.”The second man said, lifting Robinson into his arm. “Let’s take him out of here now.”He said and they carried him away.Back at Robinson’s place, his personal doctor came by and treated him. “He needs good bed rest. I will come back tomorrow to check up on him.”He told the men and went away.When Robinson woke up the next morning, he was really enraged and bitter. He didn’t care for his health and yanked off the drip tube on his hand. His men couldn’t stop
“My pound of flesh." Declan's icy voice spat as he cocked his gun.Robinson's eyes narrowed at Declan."I know you, you're that bitch's fuck boy. Have you not done enough?!"Robinson seethed, hate evident in his eyes."Call her a bitch one more time and I will blow your brains out!"Robinson glared at Declan with so much intensity . His heart was beating in his chest and there was nothing he could, he didn't have a single weapon on him to fight back."Why are you doing this? I don't even know you!"Robison gritted."But you know to fuck with the ladies I don't joke with""Which ladies? Mandy got into this herself.""Not Mandy, dumb! Does May Williams ring a bell?" Declan said and Robinson's eyes popped."You know her?""She was my ex wife and the woman you almost got killed was my former mother Inlaw."Declan said with a low voice and Robinson swallowed the lump in his throat. Declan sneered"Now you know I have every reason to blow your brains out.""You won't dare."Robinson sn
Mandy and Declan returned to the apartment where Mandy had received treatment."Where is he?"Declan asked the servant who was looking after John."Down stairs playing with his toys""It's little Johnny here again."Declan chuckled."Tell him his uncle has something from him."John ran up to the lounge upstairs and immediately he saw Declan, he smiled cheerful "Uncle! Welcome!"He ran into Declan's arm. Mandy pressed her fingers on her temple, uneasy. She couldn't understand how Declan was comfortable with what he was doing with John.When Declan had given John his new toy and sent him downstairs, Mandy came and stopped in front of him with her arms wrapped across her chest. "Till when will this go on?"She asked with a stern look that kept Declan up on his toes to reply to her."I will start his treatment tomorrow. I only waited to be done with Robinson first."He said and Mandy nodded. She was getting tired of everything and her justice was long overdue."You didn't tell me you lo
"No..."The governor cried, dragging his butts on the ground as he banked away from Declan's menacing steps.His back hit the door of his car and the fear that gripped him doubled. Declan was close now so the Governor shut his eyes with his hands up expecting the worst."Little Johnny misses you and sends his regards."Were the next words that hit the governor followed by two finger flicks on his cheeks.He opened his eyes and Declan was squatting just in front of him with the innocent smile he had never seen him wear.Staring closely at Declan was a different kind of feeling, the Governor was literally shivering from the cold sweat that covered his body.Declan stood Dusting his palm. "I will tell him you sent your greeting as well."He said final and walked away.It took the governor ten long minutes to gather himself and enter his car. His men followed him up and they sped off.Declan walked into the house like nothing had happened."You're here. Did you hear that?"Grandpa Asher
"Congratulations on your grandpa's recovery. In everything that went one this past week, it was the biggest stuff that blew off the media"May said with a genuine smile. She had witnessed the struggle Mandy had to go through because of her grandpa's illness and was genuinely happy for her."I return all glory to God. He did that though the love of my life Declan. I can't even begin to imagine why that man was not valued where he was."Mandy said cunningly looking at May's reaction from her side eyes. "All men have who they are made for. Perhaps, Declan King was made initially for you."May shrugged, seeming unaffected."You are right. I hope you find the one for you soon. I have been there in the single hood and I know how challenging it is."Mandy said with a lip smile before she downed the content of her champagne.The women knew what they were doing to themselves, playing who would poke who first and for this round, Mandy was winning only that May did well to hide her pain."Hump
Mandy laid in Declan's arm on the rocking bench at the pitch and they laughed at something and also stared at the sky. The weather was really cool for relaxation and they hopped up right into it."Arhhg!"A loud scream came from inside, followed by some crash of things to the ground.Mandy jerked immediately at the sound."What was that?" She asked Declan, panicked."I think an old friend just paid a visit. Stay right here, I will be back." Declan said, wearing a wry smile as he walked away."Open this door now!"John screamed and banged on the locked door of the room. Footsteps approached l, followed by a creak from the door. The door opened and immediately John saw Declan, he fell back on his butts with shock."You! What are you doing here? Where am I"John asked so many questions at the same time glancing around frantically."You're at my place, welcome back John."Declan's low sneer crept John's skin "Guards! Peter!"Johnny yelled and Declan chuckled."Do you think they will su
