The night was cold and Mia didn’t realize how dark the sky had turned, she didn’t even check the time if not she would have postponed seeing Oliver the next day.Even though it was half past nine, the night was still young and everywhere was kind of bubbly, teenagers are still outside which brings Mia to the conclusion that if she ever decides to have kids, she wouldn’t let them out at night.When she was a teenager, her aunt had killed her social battery which makes it looked like she was boring person, and being a journalist had even helped her social life but still Mia didn’t like the night life.She hugged her black jacket tightly to herself, the one she had bought during sales last year and had become her favorite jacket, it does the job quite well and Mia thinks she’s confident when she is wearing it, she adjusted her bag very well to stay in place on her shoulder and held her laptop bag in her other hand, still hugging herself, she took fast strides as she walked along the side
Chapter 26It was half past seven In the evening and Mia knew she was supposed to be home, infact it was hours back she should be home but here she was working a case, the one she had told Oliver about days ago. She had even lied to her boss that she needed to finish a story.While she was almost at the concluding part, she figured she could do it when she got home and rested.“At least, I didn’t use my own personal stuff so there is no way this anonymous publishing will get to me.” Mia muttered to herself as sings excitedly to herself, she even did a small dance, by now, she didn’t forget to clear the cctv and made it look like she had left work an hour ago.She dialed Oliver’s number and waited for him to pick. “It is almost done.”Mia said , adjusting the earphones.“That’s great, did you send it to my email?” Oliver asked her.“Sure, I did. I’m on my way to your place , I just wanted you to know I did it.” Mia laughed.“You forgot to hit the publish button.”“I’ll do that, I want
Chapter 27Its been few days after Mia was assaulted, Oliver was furious but he tried to maintain a calm demeanor, despite the fact that he wanted to show Amélie the power he had and how much he could destroy her, he remained cool headed just for Mia.He wanted Mia to be healed. Her face had been bartered and it angered him, no much damage done, except that her nose was broken and she suffered minor injuries. Oliver was glad that she was getting better and even though he did Justice by killing those men, he wasn’t satisfied, he wanted to do more than just putting bullet throughout their body.As for Amélie, he knew what he wanted to do to her. “Marv?” He answered his phone.“Yes, boss. I found her location.” Marv said on the other end of the phone. “I’ll join you soon. I’m about to drive now.” He added, hanging up the phone.Oliver stood up from his chair, it was time to be Oliver cage, he set off to go to Mia’s house just to check up on her.It wasn’t long before Marv showed up, Oli
Chapter 28“Attention!” Isaiah yelled, slamming his hands on the table. “all members, attention!” Isaiah announced to everyone at the table. All the members stopped talking and paid attention. They questioned what was going on.“This is an emergency meeting. Thank you for honoring me.” He said, Isaiah sat at the head chair, He meant business, giving them a stern look and holding his hands together.Gerald and Viktor sat close to one another, everyone was of them were wondering what was the meeting about. Gerald felt like Isaiah was giving him a deep and cold stare, he felt uncomfortable. Viktor also felt uncomfortable that Isaiah was giving him a cold stare. “Why is he staring at me?” Viktor whispered to Gerald. “You noticed that too? He is giving me a deep and cold stare.” Gerald said, surprised that Viktor was being stared at as well. “I don’t know why he is doing that. Honestly, I don’t even know what this meeting is about. I hope it is nothing bad or too serious.” Viktor said.
Chapter 29Isaiah was at home, in his living room reading a newspaper, while he was munching on a sugar doughnut and drinking a glass of orange juice. His mind darted toward the embezzlement that Gerald had a hand in it, as much as it hurt, Isaiah accepted the fact that there was always a black sheep in an organization.He had tried to put his trust in Gerald to see if there was any good in him but there was none. Also, he was closer to the Grey’s family, Isaiah knew that the company and shadow organization wasn’t in good hand unless he appoints someone else to head.His mind was very much at peace that Oliver would be succeeding after him and everything he had built would protected by Oliver.Isaiah was glad that Oliver had dismissed Gerald and choosing him had been a big slap to Viktor and Gerald, it was obvious and Isaiah chuckled at the thought of it.The sound of broken window shattering on the ground startled Isaiah, he stood up abruptly and craned his neck to check what all the
Chapter 30 "For every man, there's an appointed time to thrive. But then, we still have to return to the dust from whence we came. For everything, there's an appointed season; a time to laugh and a time to cry, a time to weep and a time to smile. A time to be born, and a time to die..." The air was gloomy and dark as the preacher went on. Isaiah's funeral had taken place for the next day and for their men who had died, they had already held a funeral in silence for them in the house before setting to the cemetry for Isaiah. Oliver was still very much angry, especially at the fact that he could have prevented it if he got their sooner, that was what he thought, somehow he blamed himself. He was blaming himself for not being there, he knew that why had happened has happened and there was nothing f he could do to change the past and he would have to live with the pain that his grandfather had died in his arms. “Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, it is well, it is well, wi
Chapter 31It was a bright sunny day, Oliver was clad in a Superlative luxury tee tucked in a Peter England pants trouser with an Italiano shoe, very shiny that you could see your face through the shoe, this time he was wearing a mask, like a mucha lucha mask, that covers his whole head and face, which made him look like a wrestler.Isaiah was dead, but the company needed to keep running. Oliver sighed as his thoughts drifted to his sister. It's been a while since he saw her. He quickly sent her a text and kept Working.His personal assistant had sent a message across to him about some business tycoon that wanted to see him and he sent for them.“You can have your seat.” Oliver said, smiling underneath the mask at the two men.“Allow me to introduce myself, Mr. Lionheart.” One of the men said, he was lanky in stature and had a dirty blonde hair, his dentition was good, Oliver thought that was why the man kept smiling every second.“I am Stefano Iglesias, and this is my partner, Rey Bl
Chapter 32“We have a deal for you.” Stefano repeated, smiling sinisterly.Gerald blinked rapidly and burped, scrunching his face in disgust, he hated how his breath smell, and he rubbed his face.“Are you listening to us?” Rey said, looking at Gerald like he was still hungover.“I’m not deaf. I can hear you. What sort of deal is it?” Gerald asked, hiccuping.Rey and Stefano exchanged a worried look but then they wanted to see where the conversation was heading.“Do you want the company back?” Stefano asked, “it is your company, you’re the rightful heir and we are here to help you get it back.” Stefano added.“At what cost?” Gerald asked, downing a bottle of water.“Partnering with our company when we help you get back your right.” Rey said.“How would you do that?” Gerald asked, relaxing his back on the pillow cushion.“Isaiah is dead!” Stefano stated bluntly, “we don’t care who ordered the shooting.” Gerald shot him a glare, “All we have to do is order the same type of killing for
