The ground suddenly became too hard for Tiana to walk on as she hurried her steps, racing back into the hall. A few times, she glanced back as if someone was tailing her. On noticing her, Lucy creased her eyebrows, confused as to why she was hurrying towards her like that and continuously glancing back.“What's going on?” Lucy asked Tiana immediately she got to where she stood, still maintaining the frown on her face.“What do you mean?” She asked, putting on a pretentious smile on her face as she glanced back again.“Your behaviour is off. You're acting like you did something really bad and someone caught you.”The sharp gaze Tiana threw Lucy was enough to put her in suspicion. Lucy gave her a suspicious look, observing every tiny body language she gave off.“What do you mean by that?”Her expression came out hard and angry, but Lucy was not convinced, she only decided to let it go.“Maybe I'm just overreacting.” she thought, before shaking her head.“Nevermind. What are you doing i
Lucy watched as the guards pulled out the little jewelry box from her handbag. A mixture of shock, fear and confusion immediately eluded her being, as she stared on.“What do you have to say for yourself now, you little thief?” Kayla spat, still eyeing her with a look of disgust.Lucy suddenly became mute as words caught in her throat. She became unable to speak as she glanced around her, going that whoever saw the sincere expression on her face would believe that she knew absolutely nothing about what was going down.“Thief!”“Lying bitch!”“Little lying thief!”The accusations flew from all corners of the hall, and Lucy could feel each accusation pierce her chest painfully. Tears brimmed her eyes as she took her gaze back to Kayla, throwing her pleading gazes.“I have absolutely no idea how that got there, please believe me.”“Believe you?...” Kayla asked wmin disbelief as she scoffed. “...did the jewelry box suddenly grow legs and walked its way into your bag?”“I honestly do not k
The party had continued ignoring the earlier commotion that had passed and Kayla seemed as though she hadn’t done something hideous earlier.The guests had brought some gifts to impress her yet she had an arrogant attitude and demeaned those she didn’t like while she talked to those who seem to have captivated her interest.“Miss, I’m here to announce that Mr Curt and Mr Vale is here.” Her butler announced.Kayla turned her head around and gazed at two handsome looking men dressed in design we suit along with their bodyguards.“Oh it’s nice to see you both.” A warm smile spread across her face as she stared at both of them unlike how she had stared at Lucybwhen she had beat her up earlier.“Got you a gift.” Vale handed her a box along with Curt as they smiled back at her.“Thanks for the presents, I’m happy to have you both here.” She sommented.“It’s only proper that we attend and give you something.” Vale shrugged his shoulders staring at her.If they were fairly rich she would have
“Did he dare hit her?”“Oh now he’s certainly finished, there’s no way he can be spared from the wrath of the Claw family.“Hitting a woman so shamelessly in public, he’s really going to have it coming for him.”The whole room went into an uproar at Michael , they were suprised and some seemed pleased at what had happened and other ma just wanted to know how it would end so they’d gossip about it with their friends. No one had expected anyone would be so daring and fearless to go as far as to meet the treasured and spoiled daughter of Zain Claw.“End this mad man right now!” She snapped at her security gaurds who were still in shock at what had happened.“What are you fools waiting for or do I need to tech you your freaking jobs?” She yelled angrily. “I want him dead right now.” She demanded.They immediately lunged towards Michael who moved swiftly and dodged their every move and yet all his blows landed in them and sent them flying across the room.“Where are the rest of those moro
“How could this be?”Nobody could believe their eyes that a man could single handed mkt breaks sword by just touching it, they couldn’t help but wk see what he was.Curt and Bame were taken aback bby cause they had never imagined such could happen. “I had no idea this guy this good at fighting that eve the well trained gaurds have no chance against him.“He really is strong no doubt about that.” Vale nodded his head. If they hadn’t seen him fight his now they would have convinced themselves that they could have beat him but swing it with their own eyes.“Is this is why you had so much courage to fight us because you have some charm you’re using?” Curt smirked gazing at Michael who was still in unbothered.Although the gaurds were strong fintears and could defeat any normal fighter but since Michael had defeated them in one blow, Curt could confidently say they thins man was absolutely no match for them, instead he would have to take Michael by himself.“Why did it not turn out as expe
"Why don't you ask my mother, I'm sure she would be able to help you out," Kayla suggested to her husband hoping she would be of help to him but at the same time, she had a feeling it wasn't going to work out."That's not an option at the moment, You of all people should know just how much she despises me, talk more of helping me." Oliver frowned, adjusting his tie while staring into the mirror with a pale face."We're in a desperate situation and don't have much choice, you know." His wife reminded him while preparing breakfast. Oliver had been happily married to his wife who was from a wealthy background but their marriage was at a delicate stage that could end, Not that he and his wife never loved or have stopped loving each other but he wasn't financially capable of doing because he couldn't get a job ever since he got married to her and he was beyond desperate to do anything as long as he could get money to cater for his wife."There's no harm I'm asking you to know," Kayla m
Chapter 136 Brian walked into the villa, he had his nerd glasses on, in his black suits “Good day” he greeted the butler, the butler bowed and and gestured toward Zain’s office “This way please, he has been waiting all day for you” the butler muttered. Brian followed the butler into Zain’s office “Zain, it's about time you showed up” He smirked. “I ran into some minor incident along the way,” Brian muttered. “Come, sit, we have a lot of discuss” Zain said to him, gesturing for him to take a seat, which he did. Zian brought out a file along with a little bottle which contained some pills. Brian arched his brows and waited patiently for Zian’s explanation. “Now guess what this is?” Zain said to him, Brian furrowed his brows again, un sure of what Zian meant by his statement.”The drugs are ready… all the prototypes and crucial parts are all ready” Zain blurted. “It’s all ready?” Brian asked in disbelief and Zain nodded with a big smile on his face “See I told you, it was only a matt
Liam's phone rang in his hands violently, he quickly pulled it out hoping it would be one of the companies that had called him back but it wasn't at all any of that but his brother in law, he scrunched his brows wondering why he was calling him which rarely ever happened, he reluctantly answered the call placing the phone on his ear patiently waiting for him to say something."Hey scoundrel good thing you picked up the call or you would have yourself to blame with the next line of action." He blared from the other end of the line making his ear ring painfully."What is that then?" Liam asked rolling his eyes, clenching his fists in anger. Kayla's brother Melvin was another person who helped him a lot but he didn't want him and Liam and his sister to end up together and he was more than pissed right now."Once you hear this then you won't have the mind to speak to me in that tone again." Melvin blared again. "A divorce paper will be sent to your house soon and if you don't divorce my s
After leaving the company, and heading back home, Michael received a text message.He took out his phone and read through“Your brothers sold you out, if there is one thing I like more than anything, it would be revenge, you think you can take what belongs to me? Think again, you sicko because I can also do the same.. Do you know that your woman Karina is pregnant with your child? I bet you didn't because why would you leave her to wander around when you know I am out there looking to devour you”Michael could not believe what he saw, until Rasheel sent him a picture with Karina tied to a chair and a lid over her mouth, tears rolling down her eyes.His phone rang, Henry her father was calling.“Father” he answered“It's Karina, she is missing… she said she wanted to take a walk in the garden but we haven't seen her, please, please find her” he muffled.“Father is Mother there?” he asked calmly with his fist clenched, holding back his urge to go over and kill Rasheel and his brother.“
“Father!”“Father!” Edgar yelled as he rushed into his father’s room, angrily, he was fuming.Montreal, who lay on the bed, knew why his son was calling out to him, pretended not to hear him, and outright ignored him.Edgar walked into the room to see his father, on his tablet, ignoring him.“Father! How could you do this to me? After everything that I have done for you! After putting so much effort and energy into doing everything you asked!” Edgar lashed“Father, we are highly disappointed in you, you could have Edgar or me take over your position, why did you give it to that bastard!” Kylen, the second son lashed at his father.“We’ve done so much but you chose the son that caused you so much downfall and forgot about us that stood by your side all these years! How could you!” Edgar lashed again.Montreal ignored them, knowing that he would only say hurtful things to them.“What is going on here? Why are you guys yelling at your father, I did not train you in such a manner!” Louisa
Rasheel got up, ready for the day’s activities, he went to his room, got dressed, and set for the day.“There must be a great occasion today” Lucy muffled as she watched him dressed after a brutal night together. It wasn't like she could ever resist him, He was stronger and always determined each time, having her roughly and making sure there were bruises all over the following morning. Lucy was tired of crying and begging him because each time she begged him, she realized she was just adding gasoline to his fire, making him burn rapidly, pounding her like it was his last time on earth.“Yes, I have a very important board meeting today, wish me luck, honey” He winked at her.Lucy cringed at his madness, if anything, she wished he lost the contract and went broke.Rasheel chuckled, like he could read her like an open book “I know you wish for me to fail, but even if I fail, I am never going to let you go, you are too sweet” He smirkedLucy tightened her grip on her blanket, holding tig
Karina was lost, confused.She gazed at Michael in awe “What is happening, what are you guys talking about?” she raspedMichael’s lips parted as he gazed at Karina, knowing that he never told her much about himself, nothing about his family and where he came from.“Tell Mr Montreal I said I am never coming back to that family! You guys can solve whatever problem you find yourself for all I care!” I sneered“But Sir Michael” Collins muffledMichael glared at him “The next time you call me or bother my wife again, I will have your head delivered back to that family, do you understand?” Michael growled“Yes sir” Colin breathed“Do you understand!” Michael snarled, his eyes darkened as though he was on a rampage, sending shivers down Colin’s spine. He gulped down “Yes sir” he yelled and dashed out of Karina’s office.Michael exhaled, turning to Karina who was waiting for an explanation.“Do you remember when I told you I came from a complicated family and when I told you to trust me and b
Karina stood by the door, watching Lucy’s mother in tears, standing before Michael. She walked up to them “Michael, is everything okay?” she asked, gazing at Alice. “It's Lucy’s mum, she said she has something important to tell me” Michael responded. Karina turned to Michael to give her a listening ear, Michael didn't like the idea of having Alice in his house, he was clearly against it but he knew Karina wouldn't like it if he turned her down so he nodded in agreement to have her inside his house. They sat in the living room while Karina gestured to her maid to help Alice with a glass of water and a glass of juice so Alice could decide for herself which she wanted. As soon as the glass of water got to her table, Alice drank everything all at once. When the juice came, she gulped down again, making Michael disgusted “I am sure you are not here to wine and dine” he sneered at her and instantly Alice composed herself knowing that Michael had every right to be authoritative si
After Karina’s friends are sent somewhere far away till Rasheel forgets about them or when he gets apprehended, Karina goes home to visit her mother.“I just need to spend a day with her,” Karina said to Michael, kissing his hands and swinging them while she hoped he would find it easy to send her off.Michael knew the last time she saw her mother was at the grand dinner they all had as a family and at the event where Henry, her father introduced him to some of his major businessmen so she understood that a daughter would miss her mother and want to spend some time alone with her.He pulled her closer, kissing all over her body “I’ll miss you” He pouted.“It’s just a day” she chuckled, wrapping her arms around him “Even if it's just an hour, I’ll still miss you” he muffled “But I understand you miss your mother so, ensure you spend some quality time with her before I come to pick you up tomorrow,” he said to her and she nodded.Karina got into a cab and was taken down to her mother’s
Rasheel was going crazy, he was losing his mind, “What do you mean she is gone? Gone where!” he lashed, aiming his gun at his guard who stood before him, trembling, beads of sweat plastered on his forehead, his legs wobbling.In his mind, he knew it was his last day on earth.Rasheel’s phone rang, and he pulled it out of his pocket to answer “Speak! It better be worth my time” He sneered, boiling with rage. The guard at the other end of the phone was not sure if telling Rasheel at that time was a good idea but either way, Rasheel would find out so he made up his mind.“Sir, the CCTV guard Miles’s parents malfunctioned but now that it's back..” he paused, trembling in fear, not sure if it was a good idea to yell Rasheel.“What is the matter you son of a gun” Rahseel was still very much pissed about Lara yelled, still clenching the gun like his life depended on it.“Miles’ parents are gone and all our men are dead” He finally blurted“What?” he exclaimed “They are all gone, Sir Rasheel,
Miles drove to the meet-up spot that Michael had sent to him, Sally and Zach were now in the passenger seat although they were still confused by the situation, they kept mute and decided to trust Miles once more.Driving into the compound, Sally saw Karina along with Michael, ready to welcome them but something else caught their eyes, Miles' parents were also there. Sally and Zach turned to each other confused. “What are your parents doing here?” Zach asked.With tears in his eyes, Miles ignored his friends and drove till they were safely in the building, he dashed out of his car, breaking into tears as he ran into his mother’s arms.“I’m sorry…I’m sorry” He cried.His father and Mother held him in their hands, stroking his hair and patting his back with tears in their eyes as well.Karina met Sally and Zach halfway. “I am so sorry guys, I'm sorry it took too long to find you ....I'm sorry” Karina apologized.Sally shook her head and hugged Karina “No it's fine” She muffled “Karina?”
Now it was left to Miles to get his friends out of the mansion without getting the attention of any of the guards that are loyal to Rasheel. Unfortunately for him, Lara had a shoot that morning and could not help him out, even if she was around, she would only make things worse has Rasheel had eyes on her, if you think the recording bracelet is the only thing Rasheel has on Lara and his other people, then you are wrong, that motherfucker also has a tracker and a live GPS installed on their phones, tracking their locations every minute and seconds of the day.Miles took it upon himself to get his friends out since they were only there because of him in the first place, if only..if only he never trusted Rasheel if only he never met Rasheel at all.He snuck past the guards standing at the door and walkway, heading to the room in which his friends were being locked up. As he walked in, he slammed the door.“What the fuck is he doing here!” Zach yelled, grabbing the bars in which he was lo
