Blood immediately drained from Clara's face. She had not expected Robinson to say what he just did. How was she going to get May to agree to her plans now?

"Uhm.. I will let her know." She managed a smile and stood.

"Have a great day."

Robinson said as Clara walked away. He pressed the button on his table and his secretary came in.

"Have you found what I asked you too?"

"Yes sir!" Robinson's secretary thundered and quickly handed an envelope to His boss. Robinson brought out the content and looked at it for a second.

"You're sure this is where the men are?"

"One hundred percent. Saw them with my own eyes."

"Very good. You know what to do from here. I need proof that it's done in the next 24 hours."

"Sure sir" the secretary saluted Robinson and went off.

Back at the apartment where Tee and Cuba were, Mandy drove into the courtyard.

"Where's Declan?" She asked, racing from her car.

"Ms. Asher. Is there a problem?"

Cuba asked, seeing Mandy's mood.

"Is Declan here yet? I suppose the answ

    A light knock came on May's door, following its push."Ready?"Clara asked, sticking her head through the door."Give me 5 minutes." May said brushing out her hair. She paused for a moment and looked at her mom."Going somewhere "May asked, her eyes roaming over Clara's outfit. "We have an appointment."Clara said and May frowned."Mom, I'm the one who has an appointment and no, you can't come with me."May said with seriousness."I'm waiting downstairs."Clara said disregarding May's stance and left, giving her time and space to finish dressing.The meeting with Mandy Asher was that night and Clara needed to make some contributions. Her initial plan was to bring Robinson in to help her present her proposal but since he had declined, she had to find a way to do it herself at the table.***"Are you ready?" Mandy asked Declan, who was seated at the porch. He had just finished attending to grandpa Asher and wanted to take a moment of rest."You didn't tell me I would accompany you."

    "You see what I tell you about that woman? She never takes us seriously and I'm surprised you're yet to find out.""Mom, calm down. I will try her number one more time."May said, redialing Mandy. The call was sent to voicemail one more time and she hissed in frustration. They had been waiting for over 2 hours at the restaurant and Mandy's phones were not going through."Do you think anything might have happened to her? I reconfirmed the appointment just this evening.""Humph! I know she's perfectly fine. Aside from gluing to the sides of that son of a bitch she has nothing else doing" Clara said, folding her arms across her chest and throwing her face away. May pressed two hands on her temple already considering going over to the Asher's."Why not call that stupid ex husband of yours? I'm sure they are together right now"Clara said. "No. Not Declan. I'd rather go over to the Ashers’ and find out what is going on by myself."Clara frowned, picking up her bag. "Okay then, Have a

    "I'm going to check that out" The first guard said and stood up to leave. As soon as he got to the door and touched the handle, he fell on the floor and started to shake."What the fuck!"His colleague screamed and rushed over to help him out but the man kept shaking like he had a seizure till fell unconscious.His colleague rushed back to the screen to save the image they saw only to be met by a shocker. The figure was no longer standing at that spot, rather, something else was hung right where he was just standing."Wh— what's that?"The man backed away in fright. His eyes darted to his friend who was on the floor and unconscious and fear overtook him. He quickly pulled out the desk phone and called the other colleagues."Can anyone hear me? Someone should position at the front yard, I think there's an intruder."The guard spoke into the walkie talkie with shaky hands. Ten minutes later, about four security guards including the one that was in the control room were in front of th

    "Lily."Mandy's weak voice whispered from the other end and Lily's jaw dropped."Mandy, is that you?"Lily whimpered , not believing her ears."Ye—s. It's me. I'm—alive." Mandy's weak voice panted and Lily began to cry."Oh my sweet sister. You're not dead. Oh thank you Lord"Lily cried with joy as she collapsed on the bed."Where are you? Are you okay?"She asked, standing abruptly."We're in a hospital in a far away neighborhood and she has been well taken care of. You don't have to worry."Declan's voice spoke and Lily stiffened."You..." She whispered, sniffing in a runny nose and wiping her face with the back of her hand."Is she okay?"Lily asked again and Declan nodded. He rested his head on a wall in exhaustion."Please don't tell anyone about this. Her current state should be kept a secret for now still she fully recovers"Declan said and Lily nodded erratically in agreement. " But why?" She found herself asking again but Declan didn't answer."Accept visitors and condolences

    Declan King sat at the edge of Mandy's bed. He had not left his side nor had his eyes gone from her. He looked at her with great passion in her sleep. The shrill sound of his ringing tone erupted at that moment and he stepped out to pick it up."Hey man..."Tye's voice spoke into the speaker. "Any update?Declan said in a low voice "They just got off the phone. I mean James and Robinson. They are planning to launch in a week's time.""Perfect. I expected that from them. How is your preparation going?" Declan asked, leaning against the wall."Your boys are in good shape and I think everything we need is set. Or is there something else you have in mind?""Oh not atall . I just want everything to be done and over with. Besides I had switched targets, another motherfucker needs my attention and I'm going to focus solely on him,"Declan said and silence fell everywhere for some while. "I feel you man" Tye said with his lips pressed together. He didn't know the details but he had seen th

"Which among you are the scientists?"Their leader yelled into the room.Cuba and Tee exchanged glances for a second before they stood up with their hands behind their heads. "Boom boom!"

    "Arrgh"Governor Clark yelled in Fret when he saw the image on the door. It was the painting of a skull he was not sure was there when he entered first. Fear gripped him as he glanced around his office and saw that the window was open, someone had come in there."Guards!"Governor Clark yelled as his men filed in. Twenty minutes later, all the one hundred and ten men that guarded the governor filled the field.The governor stood on a platform in front of them with a deep frown on his face."How useless can you all be? That none of you saw the intruder!"The governor yelled in anger. "And this one happened in broad daylight. Were you all sleeping? How did that painting get on my wall!"The governor's voice thundered and his men flinched."I won't let this sin slide. All your allowances will be cut for 3 straight months and I will be watching you all. Try anything stupid and you are all dead!"He growled and the men whimpered in fear.

    "What announcement do you mean?"May asked with a flicker of confusion. For all she knew, she had not been to the site in the last 2week."Bred?"Lily threw her hand open over a shoulder and her secretary handed her a tablet. She pushed it in front of May, leaning back on the seat."Watch""Omg" May gasped when she saw the video. She turned angrily at her mom."Mom, what's the meaning of this?""Meaning of what?" Clara faked ignorance by not looking at the tablet. When she finally did, shock flashed in her eyes,It was footage of her at the site when she had gone to take a look around the area she wished to manage. She had also gone as far as telling the workers and some staff there that she would be in charge and that her daughter owned the whole building.Clara looked away to hide the embarrassment in her face. "What's wrong with going to take a look around?”She snapped with an attitude . She was not going to let them run her over "Looking around is not the problem mom, the vid

    Declan walked down the stairs cleaning his eyes as he descended with a clear smile on his face. Two days had passed since he had a blood fest against Mandy and the men that she had brought. He walked into the dining room and grabbed the coffee pot for the machine and poured himself a cup. “Hmm, a cup of coffee first thing in the morning… who are you and what have you done with my Kazuka?” Declan turned to see his mother seated at the table with a plate of toasts and fruits before her. “Good morning mother.” Declan said, walking up to her. He kissed her on the cheek before taking a seat beside her. “Someone woke up on the right side of the bed today.” Elizabeth said with a smile. “What's making my boy all cheery in the morning?” “Nothing… I was just thinking of my plans for the day.” Declan replied, taking a sip from the cup in his hand. “Must be a very interesting day you have planned out for yourself if this is the kind of expression you have first thing in the morning.” “I

    May watched as Mandy glared at Declan with eyes full of hate while he smirked at her while looking at the men that had arrived with her. “Please tell me that you have more people coming.” Declan said with a smile. “Even the people you sent to kidnap May were more than this.” As if in response, a van pulled up behind Declan's car and over a dozen men climbed out of it with clubs and steel pipes in their grasp, with some of them holding daggers and short knives. “Now this is looking promising.” Declan said, licking his lips in anticipation. May climbed out of the car walking towards Declan with her hands slightly raised. “Mandy, you don't need to do this.” She said softly. “You can just tell your men to leave and we can all just forget that something like this ever happened.” “Shut up!” Mandy snapped, turning her glare to May who shuddered under the killing intent that Mandy poured out. “This is all his fault. My grandfather is dead and it's all his fault.” She yelled in pain

    In the evening of that day, Declan had gone to pick up May for their date. “You know you don't need to do this Declan, I also have a car.” May said walking up to a black car parked a few feet away from her with Declan leaning against it. “That would be absurd. Imagine asking someone out on a date and then deciding to let the person drive there.”Declan said, shaking his head, opening the door for her to get in. “That's no different than asking the person to meet up with you for a business lunch.” “It's the thought behind it that matters Declan… God, are all the men of the King family stubborn?” May said with a sigh while Declan chuckled in response driving away. “so, what about Mandy? Any news about her after your meeting today?” “Well, I got reports that she was approached by a lady and was taken to a station for questioning. The company was given a trial in a few days and from there everything will play out.” Declan shrugged. “Not if you cause the company to fold.” May said

    Mandy kept her gaze fixed on the door leading to the room where Declan was having his interview with Celeste. The door opened and Declan walked out with a calm look on his face. Mandy stood and walked towards him. “Declan!” She yelled before grabbing his collar to the surprise of everyone present. “Mandy Asher… quite a surprise for me to see you here… don't you think?” Declan said with a soft smile. “You are happy, aren't you? You have finally ruined my family and gotten your revenge.” She said, gripping his shirt tighter. “Your questions are like asking a poor man who just win the lottery if he is happy winning a huge amount of money.” Declan said gripping her hand. “Of course I am happy.” He wrenches her hands off his clothes and straightened his shirt. “Miss Asher I would love it if you don't come onto me like that again.” Declan added and made to walk away but she blocked him. “Why don't you finish what you started? You have already killed my grandfather; adding me to th

    May's eyes widened in shock. She looked at the man who looked nothing above his early thirties before shaking her head in disbelief. “So you are old? A hundred?” She asked, still in doubt. “Can we not put a number on it? Surprised that I am around your grandpa’s age?” Declan asked with an amused look. “Shocked? Declan, you don't look a day above thirty five.” She replied before reaching for her glass of wine. “Well, I suppose it was one of the reasons families decided to go against us. Certain families after discovering our secret became afraid. I suppose that was the reason the Deckers family decided to launch Project K-11. They wanted to make soldiers that could match our prowess which as you should know ended in failure while claiming the lives of many people. Four families… all jealous of the power we had decided to band against us and send us out of the city that we had built as a home for ourselves. They had even nailed the blame of Project K-11 on our family and after som

    Declan reached for his ringing phone and his cold face softened a little. He raised the phone to his ear and answered the call. “Hello May.” “Hey Declan, em… sorry to disturb you but I just saw the news and decided to call you. I never had the chance to tell you thank you for everything.” Declan smiled at the nervousness in May's voice. “No problem. It was my pleasure.” He replied. Any other thing?” “Are you busy?” She asked. “Right now? No, not at all. Is there any problem?” “Not right now. Will you be free tonight? I was thinking that maybe we should meet up and discuss things over.” May said, her voice beginning to shake slightly. “I can make time. What do you want to talk about?” He asked with a smirk. “Nothing ser-. I will let you know when we meet.” May said. “Alright then… text me the time and I will come pick you up.” Declan said, his face harboring a grin that threatened to tear past his face. “Alright. It's a date then.” Mandy said and ended the call. Declan s

    ‘Reporting the death of the patriarch of the Asher family, Asher Keaton was reported dead having passed away yesterday in the early hours of the afternoon.’ Declan looked at the news on the television before turning to the phone in his hand. He had over a dozen missed calls from Mandy which he suspected was for him to chew him out. He turned to the maid and pointed at the wine shelf before turning back to the news. ‘News reaching the media now is pointing towards the Asher industries about another of their multiple evil deeds against the city. A construction scandal done towards a project of building a city facility which was supposedly done with fake materials.’ ‘Experts are being brought in to investigate the nature of the materials used to build the facility.’ ‘The Asher industries are also said to be on the very brink of bankruptcy with their stocks fallen before the twenty-five percent mark.’ “This is actually a very good cause for one to celebrate.” Declan said, reaching fo

    Mandy looked around the office with a heavy sigh before going back to the work she was handling on her laptop. It has been a week since May had announced her innocence and sued the Asher to court. The trial had gone against them, making them pay over a hundred and fifty million in compensation at the demand of the Williams. After that, bits and bits of the company's confidential data happened to find their way into the social media giving them a black name among the public. The company stocks had fallen by over forty seven percent and it wasn't rising back, leaving the company a few steps away from folding due to bankruptcy. Her attention is drawn away when the door of her office opens letting Asher in. “Another one has been released.” He said with a bitter smile on his face. “This is getting worse than I expected.” Mandy groaned and slumped back against her chair in despair. She blamed everything on Declan… it was all his fault all for a pointless revenge due to an old injury

    Mandy sipped from the glass in her hand, her gaze fixed on the television before her. On the table before her, some files laid open with a pad at the edge of the table. ‘An announcement has been scheduled this afternoon for the public residents of the city. The host of the announcement is non either than May Williams -.’ “Pfft!.” Mandy spilled out a mouthful of wine onto the files in front of her. She gazed at the screen in shock… May was alive meaning that Declan must have either saved her or the men weren't able to get to her in time. Either way, her plan had been flunked. She exhaled and gripped the glass in her hand till it shattered spilling over the floor. She stood up from the couch and walked out. At the other side of the city, May looked around and exhaled softly. She was in the Williams industries and was surrounded by different reporters that she had invited for an announcement. She turned towards a corner of the hall where a figure dressed in black with its face
