Robinson Clark looked at his reflection in the mirror in admiration. The D day was finally here and he had mixed feelings. While he was elated and had always looked forward to this day, he was equally anxious."How do I look?"He asked Mark who was standing just behind him."Superb"Mark said, making a star sign with his fingers to hit his point and Robinson laughed lightly. "Alright then, let's do this" He said walking away from his room.I'm his car, he dialed his hit man for the third time and the line failed to connect. Worry began to creep in and he looked at Mark by his side."Have you heard from Biggie this morning?""His phone wasn't reachable and I thought to try again shortly after."Mark said and Robinson turned, looking straight to the road. Could there be a problem? He asked himself inwardly.He didn't know the hotel Biggie had gone to, else he would make a quick stop there before going for his event. But wouldn't that be risky? This day was the long awaited day and he h
Declan stared at John with confusion. He didn't imagine his condition had gotten that bad."I will leave you to it now Big J. See you around," Declan said walking away.Declan entered the back of the car with Mandy and they drove off. They were on their way to the venue when Tye called him. "Hey D. You can't take that route. John's dad has ordered the roads to be blocked and trust me he would recognize you from a distance.Tye warned."I'm not scared of anyone.""I know but I bet you don't have the time for fights and the last time I remembered, you were trying to become civil."Tye continued trying to talk him out from falling straight into the trap. Declan pressed his temple with two fingers in thought."So what should I do now?""Give me 10 minutes to set something up for them."Tye said, pulling his computer closer and started to type in it."Ten minutes then. Not even a second after. Got that?"Declan said, checking his time. They had an hour left before the event so sparing te
Robinson's jaw dropped and his eyes popped in shock. It felt like he was in a dream."What is going on? Mark!"Robinson took a step forward but Mark backed away. "It was pleasant being by your side while it lasted." Mark said with a small smile."Robinson! It's time for your toast!"Someone screamed from the main stage, startling Robinson. He gazed at the people before him speechless though he had so Many questions to ask."Uhm... I'm coming."He finally answered the man and backed away still in shock.During the opening remarks, Robinson stuttered in a way that made people wonder what was wrong with him. His words were not coherently uttered because of the amount of distraction that went on in his head. The crowd clapped regardless when he was done and returned to his seat."Is our boss alright?"One of Robinson's men asked his partner."I'm not sure. I believe something is wrong because he asked Marco to keep an eye on Mark.""Mark? No way."The man gaped, glancing over at where M
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
