Grandma Jones tried to shift Eliana’s attention from the whispers she was hearing,“I’m sorry that I couldn’t welcome you at the door, President Wright.”She said sweetly.Eliana searched the room with her eyes and then shocked them all by asking,“Mrs. Jones, is Kevin here today?”“I’m sorry, President Wright but Kevin isn’t here at the moment.”The disappoint was visible on Grandma Jones’s face.“Since Kevin isn’t here, I won’t take much of your time.”Eliana motioned for one of her bodyguards to place a beautifully wrapped gift box on the table.“This is a small token from me. Happy birthday.”After saying this, Eliana turned around and left.Drake’s face fell.He wasn’t the only one in the room who was shocked.Why were all of these rich powerful people looking for Kevin?What the hell was going on?“Someone should go and get Kevin and bring him back here!”Grandma Jones barked at her family.Lily reacted first and immediately rushed out of the room, Blakely followed closely behin
An hour later…Blakely parked outside an enormous house and brought out a rope to tie both Martha and Lily up before bringing them inside.“Help! Someone come quickly!”Martha shouted but to no avail as Blakely threw them into a black room.Hours later, Blakely returned to the room and looked at Martha and Lily who were tied to a wooden chair on the floor, screaming for help.Blakely was drying his hair with a towel as he walked into the room,“You really have to save your strengths! Even if you scream until you’re hoarse, no one will hear you.”“Blakely, let us go this instant! You’ll never get away with this.”Martha was in a panic.She couldn’t believe that the man whom she thought would make a perfect son-in-law would actually do something like this.“Shut the hell up!” Blakely yelled angrily.Then he grabbed Martha’s hair and said,“I am ruined! After all these years of hard work, I’ve got nothing left.”Lily was completely stunned to hear this“What!?” She said,“Didn’t you buy
Meanwhile, outside Blakely’s house, the police had already told the Jones family what was going on.The officer in charge of the scene was named Helene.She was wearing a typical police uniform but the one with the four stars.Grandma Jones showed up with the older members of the family, the ones who made most of the big decisions.“Officer Helene, how is the situation now?”The jones family had been sitting in the living room admiring the gifts Mr. Collins and President Eliana had given to grandma.They were trying to recover from the horrible fight at the restaurant and hoped that the day could get a little better.That was when they got a call from officer Helene.Grandma’s party was definitely over for this year.Helene answered directly in typical police style,“There is a man named Kevin Williams who is currently speaking with the kidnapper identified as Blakely. We will give you an update as soon as possible, ma’am”Grandma Jones was overwhelmed by the situation.She pressed fo
Kevin and Blakely were still in the dark room.Blakely mocked Kevin because the Jones family left him to die but Kevin didn’t care about his mocks or even the Jones family.He looked to Blakely and said,“Aren’t you curious to know why the Williams family withdrew all the funds that were invested in your project?”“How did you know that!?”Blakely asked.Blakely had never told anyone that he was fired at the Williams media and almost no one knew that they pulled out.Even Martha and Lily only found out when he told them about it a little while ago.But how did Kevin know so much about his business.Blakely smirked and asked him,“Did someone at Williams Media tell you that? Did someone? I bet you don’t even know anybody there.”Blakely was pissed and his hands shook a little as he took this information in.Meanwhile, outside the house, the police that was with the satellite suddenly ran up to officer Helene.The concern shown in his voice as he gave her the update,“Ma’am, according t
CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN A little while later…Collins Coke was in his office at the Whitefield hotelLorenzo was standing apologetically in front of KevinHe bowed his head and looked at his feet, then Collins Coke spoke first,“I hope you can forgive me Mr. Williams. It’s my fault that Lorenzo offended you.”Then he walked over to Lorenzo and gave him a patronizing pat on the cheek.“What do you have to say for yourself, Lorenzo.”“Mr. Williams, I had no idea who you were but I know now… please let me go and I’ll do anything you want me to.”Lorenzo was actually trembling with fears.Kevin thought for a while and felt that Lorenzo amused him,“Sure! I’ll let you go but I’ll just ask for one thing in return. You are going to keep an eye on Drake Jones from now on.”“Thank you, sir.”Lorenzo was grateful but Kevin didn’t say anything more to him.He didn’t even bother to look him.Then he looked over at Collins and said,“Thanks for setting this little get together but I have something u
Just as Kevin was about to make a phone call, Monica came in.“Oh my, Lily! What are you doing here?”“Monica! What a coincidence.”However, Lily was in a bad mood and she wasn’t in the mood to keep talking to Monica.“I came here…”Monica didn’t even finish speaking when she saw Kevin making a call on his phoneMonica’s expression immediately changed,“Kevin! How are you doing boss?”Kevin gave Monica a slight nod and turned his back on the group to continue with his call.“Who is this, Lily?”James asked.“This is my best friend, Monica.”Lily replied firmly.Monica added and smiled as she leaned on Lily’s arm,“We are like sisters!”James seemed to understand now,“So you are Lily’s sister? I am the manager, you are here to tour the property right?”James also stretched forth his hands,“I’m also Lily’s boyfriend, James. Martha introduced me to her few days ago and we’ll be getting married soon. I guess I’ll be your brother-in-law by then! Take a look around… if there is anyone tha
The agent returned with a smile on her face and she looked very excited.“Sir, I’m really sorry I kept you waiting.”“Is the transaction complete?”Kevin asked as he reached his hand to get his card back from her.“Yes sir!”Said the agent lady with a big smile on her face.“You are now the new owner of the big penthouse, sir! This is my first day so I’m sure someone else will go over the paper work for you.”She was new to the company but one thing she did know was she would be getting an enormous commission.“What did you just say!?”The rude agent who had met Kevin by the door earlier was shocked.“Miss. Moreen, this gentleman had just bought the penthouse and he paid in full!”She explained excitedly to her trainer.She could barely contain her excitement.“And I’ll get a two percent from this!”Kevin looked at her and said,“Well young lady, it looks like you won a one hundred and sixty thousand today.”James was done with his phone call and walked over to them,“You still haven’
Lily was nervous for Kevin but Monica assuredly said,“Don’t worry, best. Kevin will be fine.”Monica wasn’t worried about Kevin at all.However, Kevin had already told her his secret and she didn’t dare to tell Lily about his identity.Not just because she had given her word, but because she didn’t want her husband to loose his job.The elevator stopped on the fourteenth floor where James’s office was located.“Director Derek, I advise you to leave before my uncle arrives. You are only a regional manager and there is no need for you to lose your job over this.”James said as he sat back on his chair and spin on it.“James, you really think your uncle can save you this time?”Derek said as he shook his head.“I sure do! My uncle is the vice president of the company and he can easily fire you. If you want my advice, I think you shouldn’t help this nobody. Remember, my uncle also has the power to promote you.”“Does Edward Ambrose really has so much authority in Williams Media?”Kevin a
