Outside the building, Derek's men surrounded the area. They brought out their weapons and alerted the security officers.They pressed their laptops and the doors all over the company were locked automatically. Most of them tried to open it to see if it was locked and fortunately, it was. The front door, the gate, and back door.They trooped in with their guns. And in less than minutes, the whole building was shut down. Then, they took the elevator and arrived at the room where Derek, Byron and the rest were.They all pointed their guns at the door; Prepared to shoot once the door is opened and Sucre or any of Byron's followers try to leave. “Don't hesitate to pull that trigger. It's Madam Beatrice's orders.”“Everybody get in position. They walk out, you know what to do.” The leader said to the ten men behind him before bringing a bomb out of his pocket.“All that security for cards and signed documents that's not even yours?” Lincoln asked Derek, scanning the cards and files in his
Hahaha! Sucre and the rest laughed at the frustrated look on Derek.“Alex, where are you and where's Becca bei….”Before Derek could even finish, Byron grabbed the phone and ended the call.“What did you do that for?! Get them back on the phone! You bastard!” How on earth did they get his daughter? This is outrageous!“You can talk to your daughter and Alex after we've left with the cards.” Lincoln added from where he stood.Derek smirked, “I know Sara. That doctor would never hurt my baby. She can't even hurt a fly.”Haha!Byron laughed, “Maybe, two months ago. But not Sara now. Not after the torture your team inflicted on her throughout the time she was captured.”He picked up the piece of paper he had been writing on and handed it over to Derek. “This is the list of everyone you've killed. Friends, fathers, assistants, bodyguards, sons and daughters… Do you think your daughter's life is worth any more than theirs?”As Derek scanned the list, Byron continued, “One of two things is g
As Sara walked out of the restaurant, she immediately placed her black shade back on and approached a particular corner.She dropped her 200 bucks on the table then the waiter from earlier picked and slid it into his pocket before walking away to serve other customers like nothing happened.Sara ran as fast as she could. She hid herself at a corner as she noticed Alex's men had seen her and were now tailing her.They pointed their guns in her direction and walked carefully to where she was hiding.She used her bag to cover her stomach, then she placed her hands over her mouth as they shot at her direction.Then it dawned on her that she had been caught. She lowered herself to take cover as she tiptoed to a dark corner to hide herself from them.She heard their footsteps then her heart started racing. if they got hold of her, they were definitely going to get rid of her.“We know you're around here, somewhere!” She heard their voices then she frowned with fear.Taking a deep breath, s
Lincoln opened the door and walked out as fast as he could. Byron noticed the anxious look on his face and quickly asked, “Where are you up to, Lin?”“It's Ljay, he just called.” Lincoln replied with so much joy. “He had been hiding and a kind stranger helped him with her phone.” He announced.Byron got up and walked over to him, “Where is he? I'd go with you.”“He's at Emerald Hill’s pitchway bridge.” He added, “I can go on my own. Stay here in case Sara comes back ” He explained.He knew Byron had been anxiously calling and waiting for their arrival. The ship to New York is in less than an hour but she was yet to be here.What could have gone wrong?“Your cousin is right, Byron.” “I agree.”Sucre and Tbaj added as they could overhear their conversation. “If I'm not back before the exact time, then we would all meet at the port.” Lin explained to them, then Byron nodded and walked back to his seat.Byron looked down at Sucre who was staring at a picture in his hands.He tapped his s
In the early hours of 8 am, Derek shook hands with one of the wealthiest and popular businessmen that were in the same conference meeting with him and the rest of his members.His eyes were glued on Sara as she made her proposal and suggestions on what will be best for Gate Corporations.“She's very good.” Beatrice said to Richard and Derek would overhear their conversation. “It's a good thing we didn't think twice about giving her this position when she came in.” Coupled with the fact that she was a red-haired lady, she looked nothing like a professional but rather a call girl but thankfully, they were glad they gave her an opportunity.“What's her name again?” Richard stroked his beards as his eyes never left her.Derek cleared his throat and sat up, “Eyes of the red hair girl. Her name isn't your business, focus on why we are here.”Derek said and Richard kept mute and listened to Sara until they were done.“I had a conversation with Mr. Miller Guidotti an hour ago, and I must say
This had to be impossible because the Byron they had spent months looking for couldn't just surface from nowhere.“How is that possible? I hired the best agent in town for this search.”“Where is here if he is truly in town.”“Does Derek know about this?” Beatrice chuckled at their questions and continued sipping her coffee.“He called me himself.” She announced and Alex jumped from her seat with a stunned expression. How the fuck is that possible and how in hell did he get her number to call her?This was getting unbelievable.It was hard to believe that he would do something like that. Especially since it seems he already knew they had claimed the company after he was sent to jail.“That's impossible.”“Here.” She knew none of the team would believe her so she handed her phone to them and they all scanned it with a puzzled expression.Sophia quickly brought her phone out and was about to dial Derek's number when Beatrice quickly yanked the phone from her.“What did you do that for
Byron stood at the front of a dirty and unkempt looking grave with a frown. The dry leaves and the dead flowers got him shaking his eyes and clenching his fist.But thankfully, he was going to change that. He smiled faintly before saying, “I'm back, Dad.”His heart broke even more as he let out those words. Don Smith, his father, had a family that only cared about the wealth, popularity and power. “Damian should be here in a minute,” He heard the group of thugs who were not too far from him discuss amongst themselves. They had been threatening him to leave but Byron had forcefully allowed himself in.Today was his father's one year anniversary and Beatrice had deliberately instructed these thugs not to allow anyone in here. And for some reasons, he believes she was aware he was surely going to visit his grave… especially since he never attended his father's funeral and only found out about his death when he was out of prison.It shows how dark her heart is.“Okay buddy…” Damian arriv
“Who the hell is this guy? How the fuck is he even doing this?”“Using the gold to rebuild a grave's tomb is the craziest thing I've ever seen.”As the guys whispered amongst themselves, Byron overheard it and turned to face them with a frown. “Did I hear you say something?” He said, his voice cold and devoid of warmth.They shook their heads immediately and bowed before Byron, “No…not at all.” They were only employed to watch over this place by the elder of the Smith family and Byron was aware of that. After taking his father's life, Beatrice had turned around to take control of the Smith clan and to keep all his wealth to herself.And even up till now, she still wanted to keep the cards in her possession… She was smart but was agreeing to betray Derek in exchange for the cards a smart move? “It's a harmless misunderstanding, young master.” Damian cried. “Don't harm us… we'd stay out of your business and act like we didn't see this at all.”Byron raised his head as he heard the wor
