The day had drawn to the end. Andrew was tired already due to so many things he had done at the office. He was exhausted and he felt it was enough for the day.

He stood on his feet and packed all his things. When he was done, he walked out of his office and he closed the door behind him.

With a few steps ahead, he said to his secretary, “I am going now. Make sure you take care of the office.”

He didn't wait for her response before he continued pacing forward.

“Okay,” she gave her reply but Andrew was far gone.

Immediately after he highlighted from the company, his driver sighted him. He opened the car doors.

Andrew drew close. He got into the car.

The driver closed the door and got into the car. “How was work today?” He asked Andrew.

Andrew wasn't in the mood to give a reply. “Start driving!” He ordered.

“Yes, Young master.” He started the car immediately.

Andrew relaxed backwards while his thoughts kept going around different circles. As they were going, Andrew's eyes caught up wi

    The next day.Andrew opened his eyes after a long sleep. He was tired yesterday due to some work he had to make sure was going through.That same yesterday was when the branding started, it had been all hectic.He heaved out a heavy breath as he made his way out of bed. Getting down, some cracks went throughout his joints, he could even hear the noise.He removed his clothings. Andrew went to the bathroom to freshen himself and when he was done, he walked out of the bathroom.He went to his wardrobe to pick up his clothings when he heard his phone beep.“Which message would that be this morning?” He thought in his head. Andrew wasn't expecting a message from anyone that morning. He was surprised he got a message at all.He went to his phone and he picked it up. He realized he had turned on his wifi all this while.“Oh .. my wifi is on.” He retorted before he realized it was a video an unknown number sent to him.“Who is this?” He thought in his head, before he decided to open the mess

    “GET OUT OF MY OFFICE, miss Clara!” He said it in a decent but harsh manner.“But…” she wanted to speak but he cut her short. “Get out, Now!” he vocalled intensely.Clara had never experienced that kind of rage from him. Her heart almost cut when he said it again. She had to rush out of his office.Andrew sat in the pool of thoughts on what to do.“How could they have demanded that I hand over the company if I don't want those people captured to die. This is horrible. I am in a tight position,” he thought in his head.Andrew had never been faced with a high stake of decision. It was as if he was torn between choosing his company and those people.“If I choose the people, it is still possible I lose the company. If I choose the company, definitely, I am going to lose the people. What do I do?” Different thoughts graced his mind. He realized he had a limited time to make up his mind.“I cannot act out of impulse or based emotion. I just act as a man.” Andrew manned up. He realized he wa

    “If Biden was here. How much is involved, Mr commissioner?” Andrew went straight to the point. His eyes met with his.The commissioner smirked. “Five freaking Billions. If I can get that now, you will have all the teams working for you again,” he expressed.Andrew didn't get it at first but now, it seemed he got the whole point. “Are you saying they weren't kidnapped?” He asked him.“Don't be so daft, Mr Andrew. They were sold to him and it means they are now working for him. Your company is under investigation and if care is not taken, I might have to issue a restraining order so your company can stop operating,” he explained to him but it sounded more like a threat.“What! Why on earth would you do such a thing? That's disgusting,” he expressed his dissatisfaction.The commissioner heaved out some air. “This is not the time to fight, Mr Andrew. Loads of cash would do the trick. If you ain't convenient with that, make use of the door,” he said to him.Andrew smirked. He felt betrayed

    “The president!” Andrew remembered he had once met face to face with the president but it was a casual one and that was when he was able to have his number. It had been a very long time.Andrew picked up his phone. “His excellency. Good morning, sir. I am surprised to see your call,” he said to him“Good morning, Mr Andrew. I heard about what happened to your company. My condolences! I need you to come see me today for a pressing issue. Will you be available?” He asked him.Andrew didn't give it a second thought. “Yes, sir. Where should I meet you?” He asked him.“Royal birds off Houston road. I will be waiting for you,” he said to him.“Okay, I will be there. What time?” He asked him.“If you can come now, I will be pleased.”“Okay, I am on my way.”The president hung up the phone.Andrew was still so surprised about the call. “Let us see what the president has for us,” he thought in his head.He walked to the car. The driver opened the door, Andrew walked into it.The driver closed

    The commissioner swallowed the saliva in his mouth. “What has gotten over you? You think you can just walk into my office and spit rubbish? I am the commissioner of police. Do not forget my title,” he spoke harshly.Andrew's face brewed with modesty and a short sharp smile. “Don't be full of yourself, commissioner. I came here the first time, you told me to buy my team back. Is that how a good commissioner should behave?” He spoke boldly and courageously.The commissioner was shocked and surprised. He didn't expect those words from him.“Don't come here to lecture me about ethics and morals. I am earful, get out of my office!” He ordered.Andrew smirked. “Unfortunately Mr Commissioner, I don't take orders from you. You should check your phone. An important call should come in,” he said.The commissioner looked at him. “I won't give you another warning. I will have you thrown inside the cell,” he expressed his mind.“Do your worst, I am not afraid of you.”In anger, as he wanted to ca

    “Mr Biden, your plan is really working,” Clinton expressed with a dark smile hovering throughout his face. Biden laughed slowly. “You see Mr Clinton, by the time I am done with Mr Andrew, he would regret ever having me as an enemy,” he spoke arrogantly.Clinton smirked. “You are so great. I wonder how you got the commissioner trapped in your hook. He can't act against you now,” he expressed those words. Biden was so happy with those comments. “I don't know why, but I feel I have won. Mr Andrew is indeed not making any great move. I am not seeing his impact at all,” he said those words out of a burdened heart. He was scared of what Andrew's next move would be. Clinton raised his head. He sipped a little from the wine he had on the table. “Mr Andrew….. probably, he would be doing something. Something unexpected like how he turned to be a burden to the commissioner,” he reminded him of the last move Andrew took.Biden exhaled. “You are right. He is taking some moves and those moves a

    “What should I do?” He asked himself. His heart raced heavily against his chest as he was looking for a nook to hide.

Anyway, I would have to find a way to catch up with him now,” he spoke a little excited

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.
