Chapter 229Craig waited for Chole to get closer to him, and when he did, he grabbed him by the neck, and pointed a gun on his head. "You almost killed someone and you had the guts to leave her at the hospital?""What, how did you know about this?" Chole asked, looking shocked.Craig chuckled, "How did I know about it? Well that's because I was at the wayside when it happened, that's how I know. Also, I followed you to the hospital and I also traced you down here. I don't know what's your name, listen to me."He paused and continued, "There's a bounty on your head, if you want to stay alive, just do what I am about to tell you to do. If you don't, trust me when I say you are going to end up dead, or half of your body amputated.""What? But I didn't do anything wrong," Craig cried out in defense."Shut the fuck up, who do you think you almost hit with your car, that was the daughter of Mr. Henry Wilson, I know that name rings a bell in your brain right?"Chole gasped, "Yeah it does, b
Chapter 230Dagger walked into the building and was shocked to see the door wide open, "Wow, this is definitely going to be easier than I think." He walked in with his gun in his hands, Isla had no idea he was there, because she was backing him.She was gazing at the dining, not until she felt something strong at the back of her head, "You, move, you speak, you scream, you are going to end up dead." He only said that just to scare her and prevent her from coming up with a show, his boss commanded him to bring her alive and not dead."Kindly raise your hands and stand up slowly," Dagger said as he took a few steps away from her, she did as she said, while she kept on asking where Martinez was. "Good girl, now walk to the door, I have your car keys in my hands, we are using your car. So please hurry up and let's do what's needed in a peaceful and quiet manner."Isla nodded her head, as she quaked, "Come on girl, let's do this fast, I don't have time."She nodded her head as she got on
Chapter 231(Three months later)Adrian stood up with a glass of champagne in his hands, "Today makes it three months since I was kidnapped, and thanks to you guys, even when the police couldn't get me free. You guys showed up, and you did the impossible, saving me from death."He paused, and continued, "God knows, I would have ended up dead because that fool wanted to see me bleed to death. If not for your timely intervention, I would be dead right now. I am officially making a toast to and for a good life, for wealth, and the huge blessings coming in the future.Thanks to every one of you, I love you all, and I am also grateful that you guys are here, and you have all agreed to have my back.Cheers to a good life, cheers to greatness," he muttered and they all clicked their glasses together.He sat down, and Audrey raised her hand, "Go ahead, what do you have to say?""You know that night was filled with so many revelations, like who would have thought that Shilla was an ex-spy, and
Chapter 232They were all shocked, "Adrian, you want to play dirty? That's not who you are, I don't see any reason trying to be like them to beat them. If we have always survived one way or the other no matter what they threw at us. I believe we can also achieve the same thing.We just need to be extra careful and pay attention to what they have to say, that's all, I won't advise that you also get dirty, no it won't pay. Also, I ain't sure, it's going to make you any different from them, it's definitely going to put the both of you in the same spot," Isla muttered with a low voice as she sat up.Jakes, who has been quiet throughout, decided to speak out, "I agree with what Isla said, you don't really know what it feels like to play dirty. It's better you don't, if you have been able to scale through, trust me when I say, you can still do it.I mean, you have us, we are here for you, and you are here for us, what I will suggest is that you focus more on the business. You have many resp
Chapter 233Hailey got up from the bed staring at the chandelier hanging over her head, she was lost in thought that she didn't even know when her father walked into her room. Mr. Wilson sat beside the bed and reached for her hands, she jolted, "Hailey, are you fine? Hope all is well?"She looked at him and a dry smile escaped her lips, "Yes Dad I am fine, you know I have never been involved in an accident, every time my mind keeps on drifting to such incidents and it's just frustrating.At times I find myself lost in deep thoughts, about what negative thing would have happened to me, if the driver didn't take me to the hospital immediately. I am grateful to him, if it was others, trust me when I say, they would leave me there on the road."Her father shook his head, she nodded her head, "Dad, I know what I am saying, I was the one who intentionally ran to the middle of the road. It was a suicidal attempt, if it was others, they were going to zoom off.But that dude did his best in ta
Chapter 234"Dad, you didn't tell me she looks so much like me," she muttered with her gaze on the photo album.Mr. Wilson looked at him, "I didn't want to tell you, because I wanted you to find out about it yourself, that was what I wanted, and you just did. Imagine if I had told you earlier, I am sure the looks on your face right now won't be there right?"She raised her head gazing at her father, "You are right dad, I wouldn't have been this happy, but there's absolutely no problem about it. But come on, she's definitely beautiful, she looks like a model, I'd she had contested for Miss. World, I am damn sure, she's going to come out as the winner.""I'm guessing you are also saying the same thing about yourself, you both have the same look, if you are to compete for Miss. World, that means you also have a high chance of coming out as the winner right?"She burst into laughter, "Dad are you trying to flatter me? You and I both know it's not possible, the criteria then, are definitel
Chapter 235(A few hours later)Tears rolled down their eyes, "Wow, I can't believe I am crying, what a lady she was.""Yeah, your mum was a great lady, it just pains me so much that she's not alive to witness the great things I have done, and that you have accomplished. Just like I said earlier, you remember I spoke about the great plans she had for you.She said this after we did a scan, and we found out it was a girl. I badly wanted a male child, because I needed someone to take over what I had been building over the years. Without a doubt, I knew I was going to be great, and I was going to be great.But it didn't quite go the way I wanted it, your mother, on the other hand, has always wanted a female child. According to her, she wanted someone who could shake the norms, and help other ladies grow into their potential.It's just a pity that she isn't alive to see that dream of yours come to pass. It's also a pity, I failed in that direction. I am not going to give an excuse, no I a
Chapter 236Mason was seated at the other end of the bed, he was waiting patiently for Rosa to get done with whatever she had been doing in the bathroom. He had something serious, he wanted to discuss it with her, and he just couldn't wait till tomorrow. Mason wanted the matter to be trashed tonight and he wanted it to be done when she was less busy. He doesn't want to start discussing with her, and she ends up giving him excuses about wanting to attend to work related issues.That was why he opted for night, because he knows he would have her time, and she won't have any excuse. He raised his head, when he saw her walk out of the bathroom, "Rosa, I need us to talk, it's urgent."She paused on her track gazing at him, millions of thoughts ran through her mind, about what he wanted to discuss with her, but she still couldn't tell what he wanted to talk to her about."Urgent? What is it about?" She asked, as she walked towards him and sat down close to him. He kept mute for a few seco
