2024-01-24 21:05:45Joal is vibrant, sexy and handsome. Most often than not, ladies who came across him never think twice in saying yes to his dinner dates. Joal is a man with his own failings. He loved women and can't control himself when it calls for self restrain.
The plot, the route, every step to escape from the Mafia's cartel was meticulously thought through. Knowing the kind of person they are dealing with, if they don't think things through carefully, they will definitely be caught and there is no escaping the Mafia when it comes to betrayal. The penalty is death.Joal said to Justin. "Leaving this place is not going to be easy, the affairs ruin by this cartel is been monitored and I spotted something yesterday. The Mafia has sent more employees here and I have a bad feeling about this.""All the others, prior to this new recruitment are loyal to me but this is a very difficult situation we have found ourselves. You studied civil engineering in school right? And I guess it's your qualification that landed you the job at the construction site where you were abducted." "So please study the legendary map, think of the best possible solution for us to get out of here.""Look if we want to die in a matter of days let's be sluggish about this plan. I have heard things about the Mafia but I have never seen him before. The Mafia does not know I run this place after the death of The Engineer. I have all of them in control but my brother, after this new batch of employees, things will definitely be different." The Mafia sent five persons to monitor things around here. Two of which are ladies. One of the girls name is Lorreta. She is very beautiful and sexy. The Mafia gave the five of them two weeks to get all the details he asked for.Joal is confused. He doesn't even know how to go about this. The next day three of the two recruited men immediately noticed some discrepancies. The Mafia already told Lorreta to be friends with the person who heads the business over there and asked her to seduce him and get all the information he needs. Justin can't show up in the warehouse because he will be noticed. The reason why the Mafia sent the five of them there was to get more information about Justin's hideout.Joal can't avoid reporting to the warehouse everyday. He had to come out of his shell. All five of the newly recruited members now know the face of the man managing the affairs of the warehouse. Joal knew the trouble he has gotten himself into. They are going to find out that most of the money has been diverted into his personal account.Joal said to Justin "We are in trouble. I told you earlier if we don't get out of here sooner. We won't live to breath tomorrow's air." "To be honest this is the first time in my entire life that I have been this scared." "Any updates?" He asked Justin. Justin replied by saying. "Yes I have mapped out our location and I think I know the best possible routes for us to escape without anyone's knowledge." "Are you sure?" What if this fails? We can't afford been caught. Justin told him. "We both know failure is not an option. If we don't succeed we are doomed." My father always told me. "Those who fails look for excuses but those who succeeds look for way"."We have to be positive about this. Hopefully everything will be fine" said Justin. In response Joal said "Thanks, I'm relieved. I have to get to the warehouse immediately. Before coming here, I made sure I wasn't followed.""Good morning Joal." Lorreta said. "My dear and I must admit you are the most handsome guy I have ever came across. It's nice officially meeting you." "Same here." Joal replied.Joal said to himself. "I have never came across this kind of beauty either. I have slept with so many girls but this girl is different. Once she comes towards you, your whole hairs will stand." That evening after work, Lorreta went to Justin and told him. "Will you join me for dinner tonight? I'm bored and I need a company. Please don't say no." "Of course". Joal replied. 'For a woman like you, I can do anything just to make you happy."Lorreta drove Joal in her car and they both went for shopping. From there dinner. After that Lorreta asked him for his contact which he gladly gave out without considering the consequences. She continued. "Please my dear come home with me let's spend the night I feel save around you. There is this feeling that words can't explain. You are unique loving and caring and I think I like you." Justin replied. "With all pleasure."They both went home, had sex and a very pleasurable one at that. After that they went to the living room to watch a movie titled "The Assassin". So Joal asked. "If you have any opportunity of letting me know I'm in danger, will you tell me? I asked because you know better than I do how this job works. You just can't trust anyone. I guess it's a mutual feeling that is why I heeled to all your demands.""Yes my dear. Why will I want anything bad happen to you?" Lorreta replied. They both hold each other while going to the bedroom. When Justin was asleep Lorreta woke up and planted a chips on his mobile phone so as to monitor every step he takes. Because the deadline is approaching for her to answer to the Mafia.They woke up that morning and rushed to the same bathroom and took their bath together. Lorreta said to Joal. "You don't need to go home. I already bought a new cloth for you to wear yesterday while we went shopping." "Really, you are indeed a princess." Joal said. That was how he changed to the new cloths she bought and they both left for the warehouse.

CHAPTER 44
“True progress,” she said, “is measured not by wealth, not by dominance, but by the lasting impact on communities and the lives of people. Every building, every project, every policy should reflect the values we claim to uphold. That is the standard I hold myself to and it is a standard we must all aspire to achieve.”The audience rose in applause, some moved by her vision, others by the quiet force of her personal narrative. Helena remained composed, aware that this moment was less about personal acclaim and more about shaping the future.Victor’s final appeal was denied. Exhausted and broken, he could no longer influence the world beyond the prison walls. Helena’s legal team had ensured that any lingering assets or connections he maintained would remain frozen or redirected toward restitution programs. In effect, he had been stripped of every lever of control he once wielded.For Helena, the moment was symbolic. It was not victory in the petty sense, it was closure. She no longer ne
CHAPTER 43
Helena sat in her office late into the night, the city lights sprawling beneath her like a glittering blueprint of opportunity. Outside, traffic hummed, unaware of the woman who had once been crushed under the weight of betrayal and false accusations. Now, she wielded authority not through inherited wealth or family connections, but through vision, resilience, and the meticulous precision of a mind unbroken by adversity.She had received news earlier that day: a coalition of international investors wanted to partner with her on a large-scale sustainable city project in Southeast Asia. The plan was ambitious, entirely self-contained, incorporating renewable energy, modular housing, green spaces, and state-of-the-art infrastructure. Helena read through the proposals carefully, her mind already analyzing potential challenges and risks. To the outside world, she was a visionary architect and philanthropist. To herself, she was a strategist who would not let ambition blind her to detail.H
CHAPTER 42
By early summer, Helena’s urban renewal projects had begun transforming neglected neighborhoods into thriving hubs of culture, commerce, and sustainable living. Her work attracted attention from city planners, philanthropists, and even international investors. Yet, despite the accolades, she remained disciplined, never losing focus on her ultimate goal: securing her name and legacy, ensuring that no one,not even her family,could ever again manipulate her life.Her office had grown into a small headquarters, buzzing with engineers, designers, and legal experts. Helena walked among them each morning, checking plans, asking questions, and quietly inspiring. She had learned the power of visibility, not as a weapon, but as armor. Each successful project, each partnership, was a declaration: Helena Ward existed beyond betrayal, beyond imprisonment, beyond the shadow of Victor’s schemes.Adrian occasionally visited, ostensibly to discuss technical aspects of a project, but Helena had kept hi
CHAPTER 41
Helena woke to the smell of wet earth and winter smoke drifting through the open windows of her new apartment. The city outside was alive, indifferent, and utterly oblivious to the drama that had consumed her life for the past year. She could hear the faint clatter of subway trains, the low hum of traffic, and the occasional wail of sirens. A world still spinning, despite everything Victor Ward had tried to destroy.She dressed carefully, choosing a charcoal-gray suit that carried authority without arrogance. It was her first day back in the professional world, not as a wife or a prisoner, but as herself: Helena Ward, architect, strategist, survivor. She paused in the mirror, studying her reflection. The prison had not stolen her beauty, nor her poise, but it had sharpened her. Her eyes were harder now, more focused, carrying the quiet intensity of someone who had stared down betrayal and refused to blink.The small office she rented in Manhattan was modest but functional. Sunlight st
CHAPTER 40
Snow blanketed the grounds of Blackridge Prison in pale silence, softening even the barbed wire’s menace. From her narrow window, Helena watched the flakes drift past like white ash. Every day in confinement had taught her patience, the kind architects used when sketching blueprints line by line. Only now, she was drawing something far more intricate: revenge.Riya’s plan moved forward cautiously. Helena’s former assistant, a nervous but loyal young woman named Eliza Moore, had agreed to help. She worked in the administrative wing of Ward Global’s New York office and had limited but crucial access to the company’s internal archives. Her first message reached Helena through Riya, smuggled as part of a legal document: I found the shadow account. It’s still active.Helena read the words twice, her pulse quickening. It meant that whoever framed her hadn’t cleaned up perfectly. Victor’s arrogance, she thought. He believed himself untouchable.Riya met her the following morning, exhaustion
CHAPTER 39
Just few minutes before the end of Maya's ordeal the next inmate woke up and join in the conversation. She said to I have kept to myself because I don't know whom to trust after what happened to me and I found you two trustworthy to share my story with and this is her story.The first thing people noticed about Helena Ward was her poise. The second was her silence. She had learned that quietness carried a kind of powerespecially in the world her husband, Adrian, had built from the bones of a family empire. The Wards were an old-money dynasty that pretended to be modern: sleek art collections, smart investments, and estates in three continents. But beneath the veneer was a web of grudges, loyalties bought and sold like stocks, and a family that had forgotten what it meant to speak honestly.Helena had not married into it for the money at least, that’s what she told herself. When she met Adrian, she was a young architect struggling to prove herself in a firm that dismissed her ideas. He
