"That's enough, at least leave a face for them to identify him." Michael smirked at him, noticing how much hatred Darren had harbored for him to react that way."He deserves to die the worst way possible." Darren clenched his fists together, Michael was intrigued and wanted to know why Darren harbored such resentment to the old man. "Je raped my sister and when she tried to take up the case he murdered her…. She was my only family."Michael nodded his head silently. "You do know that this path you've taken cannot be reversed." Michael informed him."I know and I'm going to make the most of it." Darren said with confidence with tears in his eyes as he dropped to his knees in front of Michael. "I swear to be loyal to you and give my life to you.""It's all up to you from here." Michael told him."I would take care of it sir." Darren assured, just then his phone rang disrupting them, he immediately took it from his pocket and frowned when he saw the caller ID. He paused gazing at Michael
"Aren't you getting in?" She wriggled her brows gazing at him, Michael didn't want to but since it was Karina he didn't have any other choice than to follow. He opened the door and got in."Thought you were going to stand there all day." Ayra rolled her eyes as the driver sped off, there was nothing but silence in the car until they were in front of Karina's mansion."Follow me." Ayra gestured as she walked into the mansion, shaking her hips with every step she took."May I ask what the issue is with her?" Michael asked."You will find out when we get there," Ayra replied as they took another corner and stopped in front of a door, she knocked lightly on the door. "Miss I'm back." She hollered before peeking her head into the room, she pulled back and gazed at Michael. "Do hold on, I'll go check on her," Ayra told him before walking into the room and coming out a few minutes later beckoning him inside.Michael made his way inside letting his eyes dance around the room before turning hi
"I had gone to meet up with my aunt at a restaurant and she had introduced me to a young man to get married to whom I deemed unworthy of me." She shrugged, Karina knew how cunny her aunt was and how she was so money and power-obsessive. She would do anything she could to take away the company from her."That's a start.* Michael nodded his head, there could be so many clues as to who the person was but at the same time they needed to be smart or they could miss it."How then can we get who the person is?" Ayra asked feeling like the only slow person amongst them."Well, it's between the bartender or her aunt and the young man who came with her, all of them play a role in this," Michael explained."How then?" Karina was confused. "I made sure to watch them out my drink, how would I have missed them pouring it in my drink?" She furrowed her brows."I did find remnants of the ginseng I'm your mouth." He shrugged his shoulders gazing at her. "They must have slipped it when you weren't loo
Michael got out of the car and noticed Lucy standing outside waiting for him. "Let's go in." Her voice was cold but he didn't mind, she stopped and turned to look at him. "Didn't tell Uncle Dylan about our divorce… I will tell him when the time is right." "Time is right?" Michael arched his brows. "And when is that?""Very… soon." She nodded her head and turned back to the mansion opening the door and walking in with him by her side. "Do make it as natural as possible." She added as they made their way to the dining room. The whole room went silent in their presence and heads turned to their direction."Oh my dear boy, welcome!" Dylan rose from his chair and wrapped Michael into a hug. "Come have a seat with me." Dylan gestured to the empty seats beside him. Michael followed and sat beside him with a warm smile."Didn't know you would be able to come here," Alec smirked gazing at Michael who didn't give him any acknowledgment."Well now that we're all settled down, I would like to pr
"Are you sure of what you're saying?" Alice questioned Blake."Definitely, it's quite rare and in most cases you need to be close to the manufacturer to get this." He explained. "So who here do I owe the honor of tasting this?" Blake looked around and all eyes pointed to Michael."There's no way his forent is the manufacturer is it?" They asked one another."I still stand my belief that he's a thief.""There's no way someone would give away something so rare to someone like him." Alice spat."You all should stop making up nonsense scenarios in your head and just enjoy the moment, opportunities like this doesn't come twice you know." Blake told them yet they were still skeptical yet they wanted to have a taste of it, they also felt the need to criticize him even more."We know the typed of person he his so don't take his word for it." Emily told Blake."Someone who truly knows the worth has spoken, feel free to decline having it if you wosje to, I won't force anyone to have a drink fro
"Thank you so much for telling us about this," Alice said raising a toast to him."You guys are family so I think it's best if I told you first." He shrugged his shoulders smiling even more. The thought of their faces, when they realized they'd been dipped, stayed in his head as a smile curved his lips."The profits are going to be insane knowing how successful the company is," Blake added enthusiastically."Of course, now that we're planning to open another branch as soon as possible, preparations have been made."Awesome." Emily cheered."What about you Lucy?" Alec curved his brows gazing at her."What?" She tilted her brows as she was lost in thoughts and barely knew what was going on at the table."Concerning investing in Daigon?." He told her."Oh, I'm not interested in that." She replied simply."And what is that?" Herother thundered. "Do you have any idea how much you're going to make?""I do have things that need to be put in order and I've set my money towards that, I can't g
The air in the dining room was still a bit tense as Alec tried to draw the conversation away from Daigon. Every now and then, he would throw Micheal an angry stare, but Micheal pretended not to notice him and just continued munching on his dinner. "So how long do we have to wait until this investment starts bringing returns? Alice spoke again, bringing the conversation back to Daigon. The scales in her head had been going back and forth, counting how much money she that would be added to her bank account by the end of it all."It depends on how soon we launch it, so I can't give any time estimate." Alec's heart pumped rapidly in his chest as he answered Alice's question. 'Whoever the superior being is on this planet, I beg you to let this be the last question about Daigon.' He said a short prayer in his mind as he pulled on a tight smile, but his prayers were just blown with the wind."You're just making up lame excuses for the failure it will all turn out to be. It's as clear as da
"I can't help but think about the whole situation." Zain's voice came out low and cbkand as he swung in his chair. The air in his office was relatively cold, due to the degree the AC was set to. His tie hung loosely around his neck, the jacket of the suit hanging loosely on the head of the chair he sat in. His assistant sat on one of the couches in the office, discussing with him."She was lucky to have escaped. I made sure I added enough pills in her drink, I keep wondering how she was still in her senses before she left." His assistant said, shaking his head lightly at the end of his statement."Karina…." Zain muttered her name quietly to himself, as his mind wandered in thoughts. "Do you think she'll be able to fall prey next time? I still have my eyes on her." Zain's voice redounded in the office, after he had gone silent for a few minutes. "As long as she doesn't remember anything after the drug has finished taking effect, then I can guarantee that getting her into the trap wou
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
