Lisa left the police station and headed to The Del Monte’s estate, to see Pedro. At this point she did not know what else to do, to salvage the situation. She just went over there, hoping to get something done.

“Ma’am, hold on a minute. Sorry, I can’t let you go in”.

The estate security, spread his arms wide open, preventing Lisa from going into the estate. She had arrived the estate, all frustrated and was about storming into the estate, but was stopped at the gate by the estate security.

“Let me go through now!”

She exclaimed in anger. Her hair pin had even fallen off, making her hair look unkept, as it was not packed. She looked like a psychopath who was about causing trouble.

She said to the estate security, breathing heavily.

“Oh ma’am, apologies, but that is impossible”

He replied her.

“And why impossible, if I may ask? Let me guess; he has asked you, not to let me in”.

She thought to herself.Her phone rang. She took a look at the screen and it was Pedro calling her. “Why is this bastard calling? I’m sure he wants to make mockery of me.

He said to Roseline. “We have seen the ledgers, inventories and other records showing the illegal activities of Don Michaelson, in that company.

What brings you here this evening?” Pedro asked. “We have the upper hand now, Sir. Your ex-wife, Lisa, did not show up in court, at the first hearing. I reckon she will probably not show up again”.

She was exhausted, due to the numerous amount of workers, that she discussed and engaged with. “How did it go with the workers? Were you able to get the information we need?”.Pedro asked her.“It was a tedious process, Master. I spoke with at least seventeen workers, and it turns out that, two amongst our employees there, were his stooges”.Roseline replied him.“Can you imagine the insolence of this man? He even converted employees of the company to his minions”. Pedro said to her, slightly annoyed.“Master, you do not need to worry your head much about this whole situation. The other workers during the course of my discussions with them, all pointed at the other

I’m sure you are going to go to work today”. She said to Morata, tapping him on his back, as he was sleeping on his chest. She tapped him till he sluggishly woke up. “Hmmm. Is it morning already? We just slept not long agooo”.He said, groaning. He didn’t realize they had both slept off last night, and it was morning already the next day. “Yes, it is morning. I have to go get ready and leave for the hospital, to see my sister, Sarah. My auntie should be exhausted by now and I have to be there, to take over the watch of Sarah, from her, while she goes home to take care of herself”.She said to Morata.“Okay my damsel. Will I be seeing you later today?” He asked her. “I am not sure. I’ve got things to do during the day. Maybe some other time”.

    “Hello cousin, been a while…………”Morata picked up his phone, immediately he got out of the shower. It was ringing already, before he came out to his room. He replied the person and listened. “You thought you pay me a visit?………”He asked the person at the other end of the phone and listened, while the person replied. “Of course. Please, do come through to the house. I will be expecting you. It’s been a while”. He continued and finally ended the conversation over the phone. He didn’t bother to put on much, since he and Lisa had plans of having sex later on. He wore a white striped sweatshirt and shorts and went down stairs to join Lisa in the sitting-room. “Hey you, what took you so long? Was the shower that good?”.Lisa asked Morata, looking up at him, smiling, as he made his way down the stairs to the sitting-room, to sit with her. “Hehehe. Did you miss me that much?”Morata replied her, laughing softly. “Oh yes, I did miss you. I had even begin to think you had forgotten me an

    “Oh, ma’am, it’s you again. Step right in, he just arrived home even”.Morata’s gateman said to Lisa, at the gate.She had just arrived there coincidentally at the same time Morata got back home and was coming out of his car. She walked right in and headed to the car. “Heyyyy, look who is here. If it isn’t the damsel herself”.Morata said in excitement, seeing Lisa, who had just walked into his compound. “Good evening Morata, how was your day?”Lisa greeted him and said to him, smiling at him. She walked to him, placed her hand on his shoulder, rubbing it mildly. “My day was good. Had these meeting with some potential clients, who came into the country from Italy, yesterday, to meet with me for business”. He replied her. “That’s nice. I see you, Mr. Big business mogul”. Lisa said to him, teasingly. “Hehehe. Now you are just trying to make my head swell, with this flattery of yours”.Morata said to her, smiling. “So, I take it that it went well and you secured the deal with the

    “Helppppp. Somebody, anybody. Ah! Uh! Please, I am too old for this”. Don Michaelson was crying out for help. He was being beaten up by the two men assigned to his prison cell. They had started beating him up again, going at it for five minutes. “Help!”. He exclaimed again.“Shut up! No one is coming. You are stuck in here with us and no one is coming to help you”. One of the men said to him, as he kicks his stomach, while Michaelson was on the floor, struggling with his stomach and holding it, because of the pain, they had inflicted on him. “Hey you, Michaelson, better prepare your mind ready for a court appearance next week. Hehehe. You will be going to jail real soon”. Detective Harry said to him, laughing after he came to his cell, to say to him. Roseline had called the detective earlier, to pass the message from Pedro, to him.“Detective, I know you see what these men are doing to me. I also know Pedro set it all up and you are carrying out his orders, like a fucking puppe

Her auntie, Josephine replied. “That’s good auntie. I’m very happy her treatment and care wasn’t stopped, courtesy of Morata”. Lisa said, exhaling relief. “Speaking of Morata, remember to be over his place, later this evening. It’s 2PM already. Make sure you are there”. Josephine reminded her niece, yet again.“Auntieeeee, you worry too much. I won’t forget. How can I even forget that, after all Morata has done for us? I will be there”. She said to Josephine.“Good.

The person kept talking.“Thank you. But no, I do not want that”. He replied to the person, on the phone. The person continued, while Pedro listened. After few minutes, he replied,“I do understand, but like I said before, I do not want it to go down that way. Thank you”. He said to the person, repeating his stands on the issue, before hanging up the phone.Afterwards, he dropped to the ground and did some pushups and then went into the bathroom, to take a shower.

Have you had something to it already, this morning?”Lisa said to Josephine, delighted to see her.“Yes, my darling. Morata made sure of that, before he headed off to work. I had breakfast and rushed down here”. Josephine said to her.“That’s good, auntie. Was afraid you might not have had anything, since it’s quite early. So, I’m going to head home right away, so I can get freshened up, have a change of clothes, eat something and get back here”.Lisa said to her auntie, Josephine. “Okay my darling. I will be right here with your sister”. Josephine said. “See you soon”. Lisa said to her, turning around to leave the room. “Oh, less I forget.
