Chapter 67Kory’s head snapped to the back turning to see who asked her a question. Her gaze met sharply with Avon, causing an erratic movement in Kory’s heartbeat. “I asked a question, what are you doing there?” Kory kept muted, keeping her face void and gaze glued to Avon, she ransacked her brain trying to comport a reasonable lie.“Kory!”“Oh yes, Finn and I have been looking for you since. He said he has something to tell you and we’ve been searching for you, I remember you told me you were coming to the security house to get the cctv footage needed in questioning Lorraine and her cousin, so I guessed you would be here. And I was right, I met you here.” Kory managed to form the lie, a silent sigh of relief falling down her lips as she finished talking. “When have you both been searching for me? Doesn’t Finn have a phone to call me on? Or didn’t he check my office or room that he chose to look around the house for me with you?” Avon who didn’t quite believe her excuse questioned
Chapter 68It’s good that Finn was looking for Avon because how hectic the day played out haven’t allowed him question on what he heard yesterday’s midnight when he was discussing with his wife. He remembered all she told him. The men that murdered his family were a group of trained guards working only for the Wilsons, not some local gang with just seven members he had found out did the deed like he thought. The murderer of his family are still alive and breathing, and those that carried the job out that are suppose to be the first out on his list are actually still alive. Why would he get a wrong information? The question kept rolling in Avon’s head, because ever since he chose Finn to be his assistant at the Army Station, he has never regretted, and with this he just did, he really needs to start being wary of him. He gave him wrong piece of information that took the life of innocent people, then he saw him in his dream and among those that wanted to kill him; the dream interpr
Chapter 69“You were asleep in Kory’s room?” Avon asked to be sure of what he heard, he couldn’t possible heard wrong. Finn’s response was clear and loud due to the lie he told him the first time, so he heard him correctly. “Yes, General.” Finn affirmed, still dripping in sweats as he endured the anxiousness that rumbled through his system. “Alright. Finn.” Avon called of a sudden, increasing the beating of Finn’s heart as he gaped around with apprehension, his chest heaved up and down slowly trying his best to mask his fear. “Yes?” He sounded, hoping what he had to say to him is entirely different from Kory. He knew he slept inside Kory’s room and wasn’t bothered, perhaps he doesn’t care and he shouldn’t be this peeved and his nerve should take a rest. “Did you know that the gang I murdered wasn’t the one who actually killed my family?” Avon asked as if he was the one who made the mistake. Finn grew pale with fright, his eyes widening with fear as his breathing became soft and
Chapter 70“He’s your husband and he purposely gave the credit card to you so you can get yourself whatever you want. Of what use would it be if you can’t spend the money in it on yourself or the things you need? Tell me huh? You’ve gotta start living the life you live in now baby, you’re the wife to a gorgeous strange rich man. He gave you a credit card of about I don’t know, probably millions of dollars if not billions, thing is don’t be bothered for peasant reasons.” Faye said to Lorraine, helping out the cashier as they stuff the boxes of different heels in a shopping bag.Lorraine was saying she’s spending too much this days and she doesn’t want Avon scolding her for it.She was questioning Faye’s luxurious influence on her. “Where are we going now because you don’t look like someone driving us home?” She asked after they have sorted payment out with the cashier and the stuffs they bought have been taken out to their car by one of the attendants and the maid they brought with th
Chapter 71The voice called out their names with familiarity. Lorraine could recognize the voice from anywhere, as if her guess would be wrong her head snapped towards the direction where the voice had came from. There she was sitting upright from the white colored swivel folding floor chair with a foamy armrest that she relaxed herself on, dressed in a similar robe with theirs and having podiatrists working on her nails and toes. Her gaze collided with hers, meeting the shock expression that hid a face full of aversion underneath. “What are you doing here?” She questioned, unable to hide the hatred in her tone. It’s quite obvious she doesn’t want Lorraine there or wherever else she could be. And the way her face just bloomed with extraordinary beauty that surpass hers just kept the hatred extremely livid. “To make TikTok and have a chat with Jesus as you can see. Isn’t that the reason this place was created in the first place.” Faye gave a sharp response rolling her eyes at her a
Chapter 72 “Lorraine! Lorraine! Lorraine!!” Abigail called repeatedly in an urgent tone, she gaped at the screen in disbelief. Was her eyes seeing different, or something else. She recognized him, she has seen him once. She remembered vividly what he looks like. How they met even. He shared the invitations to the Dragon General’s arrival party to the family, stopping the family from gracing her feet before that could be obtained. Memories of that day stirred up her head, how she had dragged his identity and stained his reputation because that’s the little she can do to get back at him. Her lips parted further in more shock watching fluent words about Avon passed out the ruby eyed lips of the newscaster, he’s not just anybody but the son of the deceased family said to be the richest in the city albeit the family is no more.“Lorraine! Lorraine look at the television.” She said knowing Lorraine won’t answer her if she kept calling her name so instead she said to her what she wanted
Chapter 73 Marina who came in a bit late knew the face of the man shown on the TV. Only four people amidst all of them were thoroughly acquainted with the man they saw the newscaster talk about. Marina; the maid only knew him as his boss. Faye knew him as the husband of her cousin. Abigail knew him as the worthless human being her cousin is getting married to. Only Lorraine was beyond acquainted to him. “Answer me?” Abigail urged with desperation. Lorraine said nothing to her, ignoring her question and keeping her attention focused elsewhere. “And you wonder why I hate you. Just look at you right now, everything about you disgust me gosh. I don’t know if getting married to a rich dead son that’s miraculously alive has gotten into your head, but listen and listen good. You’re nothing, with him or without him, you’re nothing and meaningless to the society. Even if you’re married to him, you’ll still be a shadow and never will be recognized.” She paused momentarily choking out a lau
Chapter 74Lorraine arrived back at the Villa with the sky blossoming in darkness already. She and Faye rushed inside and straight to their rooms to get their. Lorraine opened the door to see Avon coming out of the bathroom dripping wet, a towel wrapped around his waist downwards stopping after his knees. She closed the door trailing her eyes over his shining well toned abs that carved perfectly on his chest to his length that bulged against the towel around him. “You’re back.” Avon said taking notice of her notice, not knowing what his appearance is doing to her.Lorraine gawked at him with admiration, with drool falling over her lips as she devoured his handsome face with her eyes appreciating his features. Avon took steps forward from where he stood attempting to move close to Lorraine before his towel loosed and fell down, exposing his rested cucumber that face down completely. The size taking Lorraine’s breath away from where she stood and became a ghost. Lorraine bit her l
