“Hello, it's Franklin on the line,” he said with a loud voice.“Hello, any information already?” Maxwell asked him.“Yes! I have just succeeded in moving in with Mr Andrew,” he said to him.Maxwell was surprised. “Huh! That's impressive,” he said with a loud voice, but back in his heart, “is that not a lion's den?” Maxwell was scared on behalf of him.“Yes! So, from now on, I will know about all his movements and I will update you,” he said to him.“Okay! That's not a problem!” He said to him.“Okay!” Franklin hung up the call.Andrew exhaled. He glanced at him coldly. “Just be very very careful. I will take my leave now,” he said to him.“Okay!”……….Rio had gone on his way to continue the investigation, although it wasn't an easy one but it was rather difficult to progress easily.He boarded a cab which took him to his house. He had to load himself with different arms before he proceeded to take charge.This time, he knew he would have to investigate Maxwell closely since Andrew co
12:00 PMAndrew's phone began to ring. He wondered who that could be. So, he reached for his phone.He saw it was Rio again. He picked up his call “Hello, is there any problem?” He asked immediately he picked the call.Rio exhaled. “There is no problem! Are you home?” He asked him.Andrew gave it a little thought, because it happened that he would love to go out.“Yes, I am home!’ he replied quickly.“Okay! I am coming right away!” He said to him.Andrew exhaled. He ended the call immediately when he heard the information he wanted to pass. Rio was quite surprised. Anyways, he knew that was his kind of behavior, so, it was nothing.Rio went back home just to relax himself. The food he ate in the morning was still enough to carry him for the day.Some more minutes into the day, he arranged himself and went out of the hotel. Stopping a cab, he said, “good day! I am going to….” He told the cab owner.“Okay! Get in, let's get going,” he said to him.Without hesitation, he got into the
Maxwell was in his office. He had just taken a gulp of some water due to his dry throat. He had been seated for some time, working and making sure his company was on a proper run.Soon, he heard a knock on his door. Maxwell had sent for his secretary and it seemed to take some time before she came by.She knocked on the door once and then, she made her way in..She drew near to maxwell. “Good day, sir! You sent for me!” She said to him.Maxwell looked at her face, “what did you do here? I don't understand and why are you just coming after I have called you for some minutes now,” he yelled at her.The secretary swallowed some saliva in her mouth. “I am really sorry. I was busy with something that I had to conclude before coming, that was why I took too long,” she said to him.“Just a little pause won't hurt. I am not going to take forever. All I want is for you to come and see what you did here,” he said, pushing his laptop to him.The secretary collected it, she was checking it. “No
4:00 PM.Maxwell had taken a lot of hours to implement a lot of things. He was so busy that he couldn't do anything else, nor could he remember he had an oil project he was pursuing at that time.His staff are so busy to an extent that they could barely see things for themselves.Now that the day was already working off. Maxwell's workload was reducing and he could now see what was happening around him.He felt a sharp back pain in his back and it so affected him. He had to lift himself up to stretch his body.Maxwell had been in one spot for a long time, he didn't even recognise it himself.Without further ado, he stood on his feet and stretched his back, “AHH!” Heavy groans pierced through his lips but the stretch gave him some body relaxation.He exhaled and sat back on the chair. It remain a little, it would be done soon.He continued with it and after a few minutes, he was done. Maxwell yawned out so loud when he finished. It was by far a terrific work load.Maxwell now had the
Andrew was at his residence. He was busy with some things, since it was a full day and he was just in the last segment of it.A call came through to his phone. Penetrating Andrew's ear, his eyes fixed on his phone at once. He picked it up and glanced at its screen.Heaving out a sigh, he picked up the call. “Hello!” He said with a low tone. “Hello! Sir! Hope you have not forgotten about what we discussed?” Rio asked him.Andrew exhaled. “When are we extracting her?” He asked directly. All he wanted was for him to go straight to the point.“8:00 PM! Sir,” he said to him.Andrew tilted his head slightly. He swallowed the saliva in his mouth. “Okay. Have you prepared the necessary things? I mean the people that will help with the extraction” he asked him.“Yes, I have done that earlier and I have communicated the time to them,” he said to him.Andrew exhaled. “Okay, since that is the case, we don't have a problem. I will join in with my men,” he said to him, marking his support.“Okay,
Everyone pinned their ears to the wall to listen, but they couldn't hear the noise. Maxwell suspected that the intruders had stopped walking.At the same time, he was confused in so many things “Why are you staring at me like a moron! Go out there and get those Intruders,” he roared mildly audibly.“Yes, sir!” They responded and immediately went out of his presence. For a moment, everything was going fine until they got close to the basement stairs.A gunshot sounded, Maxwell's four runners dropped dead at once. Maxwell was shocked to hear gunshots. “Gunshots!” He echoed with a big surprise hovering on his face.Before he knew what was going on, a lot of men were blasted to the ground.Maxwell straightened his head in anger, before they could enclose him, he went to Jane's room immediately.There had been a gun laying on the ground without a certain use. He was the one that kept it there in case of an emergency. He knew Jane couldn't have access to it.Getting in there, he picked t
“What is it?” He asked him.“I will release her to you, but keep to the end of your bargain,” he said to him.Andrew exhaled, having some saliva go down his mouth. “Now you are talking, man! You have no issues. Release and you won't die a miserable death,” he said to him.“Go to him!” He released Jane to meet Andrew.Immediately he released her, the gun was aimed at Jane and him. For a moment, he hugged her. Even Jane was surprised about it.“Let's go!” They started leaving, one after the other. Maxwell shrunk himself to the corner of the wall, he sat on the ground.Maxwell became a defeated man that night. He didn't have a way to defend himself that night. His adversary, Andrew had everything in his disposal.Not quite long, the basement became empty. When Maxwell saw he was the only person remaining, he groaned intensely, having discovered he lost some few folks. Maxwell felt the pain of being powerless.Without further ado, Maxwell finds his way out of the basement to avoid unneces
The next day.Andrew opened his eyes. He felt a little tired and somewhat stressed even if it was just with a little duty.His body was in pain and his head was as if it would be removed from his neck.“Argh!” He stepped down from his bed, having his feet fingers stretched, he proceeded to the bathroom.Andrew had a good cold shower that morning. When he came back to his room, he decided to check his phone. At least once in a while, look through social media and see how things/trends are.Turning his data on, several notifications popped in within a second. Andrew wondered if those notifications had been waiting for him to turn his data on.While checking his notification, there was one that caught his attention. “Huh!” What happened yesterday had gone viral in the news. According to the news, the police got to know this happened at midnight through the help of an informant.He sighed. “Who could the informant be?” He thought in his head.While he was still observing the news, he re
PresentKate enjoyed herself, feeling like the queen of the world as she exerted her power on her employees.All the bonuses they were being given, she stopped them with the excuse of managing the company's funds when the company had enough.The projects coming in reduced sharply as her poor management skill was displayed. The longer she stayed, the worse it became for the company's employees.Some of them took the initiative to speak up but she didn't listen, when they said she didn't listen, they reported to Emilia who instead of taking them seriously, fired them.She did that to them so that it can serve as a warning to others who might have the same thought as them.Soon the employees stopped complaining but instead grumbled as they worked tirelessly in the company.She increased the time spent in the company everyday while she went on vacations.Some of them left the company, thinking there's no hope.After some days passed, Emilia called for a meeting in which they all had to a
On getting home, he went to his room immediately as he thought everyone would be asleep at that time in the night.He entered his room, took off his shoes, socks and paid on the bed without removing his clothes before sleeping off.In Emilia's room, there was somewhat gloomy atmosphere there as Kate and Emilia sat in silence thinking deeply.Immediately Kate got back from office that day, she recounted what happened to Emilia in which she took Kate's side and insulted Andrew in every way possible.Thinking of this thorn in her side, she decided to think of a good plan that can be used to deal with him.She thought about it long and hard, finally she made an excited sound as if she's hit a jackpot.Immediately Kate saw this, she knew that Emilia must have successfully come up with a plan to solve their misery.“What is the plan?” Kate asked directly, not interested in mincing words.Smiling brightly, she nodded approvingly at how good Kate is. “How did you know?” Emilia asked, more int
Due the recent news about an attempted takeover of the company, the image of Andrew increased in both public and business men's eyes thereby causing an influx of customers ready to give their project to Andrew's company to handle.The stock price of the company increased rapidly without any intention of stopping. After finishing her report, Bella became silent as if waiting for Andrew's response.After hearing the good impact the previous day's event had on the company's image and how it increased the company's worth, he was elated.He grinned as he walked with Bella to the company but kept his composure. ‘No wonder, she waited for him at the front of the company.’ He thought.Andrew took the elevator to his floor, and after getting out of the elevator, Bella said a few words to Andrew and went to her office thereby parting ways with Andrew.Andrew entered his office in no time, ready to start the day's work as he was met by lots of documents to sign that day.Just as he was about to
Emilia was shaken by this sudden burst from James as she wasn't expecting it.He has always condoned her actions without saying much about it and only a few words when it is the most important. She was even more infuriated by this, ‘how dare he stand up for that bastard’ she thought. “Oh, you don't want me to insult him but Kate is also your daughter, didn't you think you are being partial by obviously supporting Andrew over her.” “This is not about support, it's about evidence. It's what you can see.” James said while taking out a document and throwing it at Emilia.Emilia took the document, read it and frowned as the document detailed everything happening at the company since the takeover by Andrew.Although she saw that there were times that crisis befall the company, Andrew always came out on top.As she was about to close the document, she saw the day's event that Kate was talking about, she read it and realized that he had played the person at his own game.The report was goo
On getting to the office, Andrew came out of his car, and went straight to the elevator that he will take to his office.Entering the elevator with his secretary beside him. Suddenly he remembered something he should have done.He took out his phone, opened the call log then dialed a number.After a few beeps, Jacob picked up his phone, without wasting time, Andrew asked the question on his mind, “has the crisis been resolved?” When Jacob heard this, he smiled “Yes, it has.” He replied with an obvious relief in his voice.After hearing that the problem has been resolved successfully, Andrew heaved a sigh of relief. He has been worried about the situation of things.Andrew gave him the details of what happened making Jacob smile bitterly.“I was not expecting it from him, I guess I shouldn't be surprised though.” Jacob Remarked.Andrew hung up the call after exchanging a few words with him.He sighed to himself in relief at how things went that day, lucky for him, his step sister wasn
Seeing the smile on Andrew's face, Richmond wanted to punch straight in the face but he gritted his teeth, “of course not Mr Roger, can't I walk around in this office?”Andrew's expression suddenly changed, “you've tried this action, not only on me but you've done it to be where you are today. I must say you are really good at it, getting all this wealth from someone through contracts, the way you hide is top notch but not just good enough.” Andrew said, looking straight at Richmond. Richmond shivered uncontrollably, he knew Andrew must've found out something about him but he didn't know what he found out. “What do you mean by that?” Richmond said trying to sound like his normal self but he knew staying longer will only lead to his detriment but what could he do. If he ran, he would be caught, but if he did not run, his life would be ruined. In both cases, he had no hope.Seeing that things have turned to this, he thought that begging will probably do. “Oh, you know what I mean v
Immediately Richmond heard this, he became confused by what Andrew said.Thinking Andrew is just bluffing, “oh, which deal did we make other than that Mr Roger?” Je questioned Andrew with the full intention of exposing his bluff.When Andrew heard this, the smile on his face became brighter. “Oh, you don't have to worry about it because I brought it today.” Richmond looked at Andrew's smiling face and frowned, ‘what if ge has something? Wouldn't that be a problem? ’ He thought, making his frown deepen bit by bit.When Lillian saw the situation, she was glad in her heart ‘looks like this Mr Roger really knows what he is doing.’She didn't show any emotion outward but she smiled at herself. ‘Looks like your story will end today,’ she thought, glancing at Richmond in front of her, he stood still, not moving a bit.If anyone see him right now, they will probably think he was standing still because he was caught right at his game, but Richmond still forced his mind to calm down.He looked
With this evidence and obvious transfer of position to Richmond, everyone became worried.They didn't know what this meant for their future.Some started criticizing, “how could he transfer the company like that, if he was tired of the company, he should have said so, why does he have to make this kind of transaction.”There were murmurs in the crowd and loud sounds were heard as people discussed this new turn around in the situation.Clara's frown deepened, she took the contract from Andrew's hand, read it word by word and was sure that what Richmond said was the fact.But when she finished reading the contract, she looked at the signature and found that there was something wrong with the signature.She asked her secretary to get her a document signed by Andrew. In no time, the secretary came with the document. Clara looked at the signature in the document her secretary just gave her and compared it with the contract Richmond gave.After comparing them for a while, she smiled to her
Richmond, a maniac as Lillian would consider him, proved her right with constant beating and non stop abuse. As she thought about these thongs, she suddenly felt short of breath, immediately she brought her head out of the water.Breathing heavily, she finished what she was doing and got out of the bathtub. In no time, she finished dressing up and went to Richmonds place as if she does not, she will suffer for her actions.She prepared and braced herself for what was about to happen. She got out of the house and headed straight to Richmonds mansion without any other thought.She knew there was nothing she could do about the situation she found herself as the only thing she can expect is a savior to come to her rescue.When she got there, Richmond was already waiting for her as she was lost in thought in the bath tub for a long time.“Do you think this is the time you should be here, how dare you stay more than the required time?” He barked at her.Faced by this monster, Lillian bec
