Clara looked around in fear. Did he know that she was around? It couldn't be a coincidence that she received the call shortly after speaking to Pops. It wasn't as if they said anything triggering or that gave away their plans, but she was sure that she was being monitored.

Gripped by fear, she forwarded the strange number to Daniel and Caine. She had them on speed dial now. “ This number called me a few minutes ago, but didn't say anything.”

Their replies came in immediately, “I'll look into it.”

“Okay.” She texted them back and went to lie on the bed. She who was tried found it difficult to sleep. Her eyes were wide open as if she closed them for a minute, she would die, and after a while she began to yawn loudly.

Clara decided to make good use of her time, so she brought out a laptop and began to play some songs on her phone while she tried to access her work suite. She was disappointed to find out that she was logged out.

“ Good grief.” She muttered as she rubbed a palm across

    Meanwhile, at the skyscraper, Henry was woken by a bucket of water which was splashed over his head and he jolted out of sleep immediately. He was finally able to sleep in the early hours of the morning.“ Wake up, pretty boy, we don't sleep for long here.” A familiar voice spoke angrily. Puffs of smoke wafted into Henry's nostrils, and he was annoyed by the act. They made it a habit to smoke in front of him, and he hated it with passion," Thanks for the kind gesture.” He replied sarcastically as he wiped the water away. “ What are we doing today?” The man asked, and Henry looked up at him in total confusion. “ What do you mean?” He asked. They hadn't inflicted any injury on him, and he was thankful for that. “ Where is my boss' money? Do I need to break a leg before your grandfather dances to our tune?” He asked. Henry looked at the person speaking and sighed," Maybe this will make you believe that I am not as valuable as you think.” He said. The masked fellow chuckled in mocke

    A car pulled up in front of a huge building and Clara's phone began to beep loudly. The Uber driver peeped from the driver's seat, and Clara stared him in the eye as she fished her purse for her phone. “ Hello.” “ A man will meet you at the entrance, his name is Israel, and he'll give you a pass.” He said," Endeavour that your mask I always on.” He reminded her," Act normally. He knows that you will be present” He added. “ I will be monitoring thoroughly, you have nothing to fear.” He said. That did nothing to quell the fear that welled up inside of her. She paid the driver and alighted from the car. Gathering her skirt in her hands, she proceeded to the" Okay.” She replied as she walked into the large hotel. As described, a male official was waiting at the entrance as she walked toward him. As soon as he saw her, he nodded subtly, and she pretended as though she didn't see him. When she got to the door, he smiled," Good evening, ma'am. May I see your pass?” He asked, and she sh

    “What did you say?” He asked, waiting for her response. He wanted to find out why she was here. She knew who he was because her eyes widened in recognition even with the mask.“ I don't go out with strangers.” “ Well, I'm not a total stranger if you count us meeting today. We can get to know each other better.” He said watching her contemplate her safety if she stepped out with him. He wasn't going to kill her yet unless she offended him. He was a terrorist, but not a senseless one. Clara craned her neck to look at him," The most friendly strangers have been known to cause more harm than good.” She said. B chuckled lowly, and they sent shivers down Clara's spine, not in a good way. His laughter sounded evil. It was probably because of what she had heard concerning him. “ Are you one of those people who believe what they read on the blogs and the news?” He asked. “ Yes,” She answered hastily, dropping all the discomfort she felt in his presence. She needed to act neutral," Shouldn'

    “ I never knew that he had an office.” She said when she was taking her bath that night. Daniel scanned the barcode behind the card. It was real, registered under a company in the South, “It gives a real location, but we can't know unless you go there tomorrow. I'll send a dress up to you.” He said. “ Have a good night.” “ You too.” She replied and there was a small beep signaling the sound of the distorted connection. She finished washing herself and decided to binge-watch some movies on her phone, she had ordered room service who promised to bring food in thirty minutes. She called Pops," Good evening, sir.” “Daniel told me you did well tonight.” He said with awe in his tone.“ Yes, sir.” “ Your brother is here with me, he wants to speak with you.” Pops said, and she heard a little movement before Adrien spoke. “Hello, how are you doing, Clara?” He asked. Clara was delighted that he was finally speaking to her. The first few days after he woke up, Adrien refused to talk to he

    Clara gazed at them, trying to figure out who she was talking to the last night. “ Please have your seat. “ One of them said, and she looked at him.“Thank you.” She replied and sat down," I came regarding our discussion last night.” She said, trying to search for the look of recognition in the eyes but found none. “We have been waiting to hear the proposal.” The man on the right repeated. Clara knew that this was an intentional act to confuse her, but she smiled and dipped her hand into her bag and brought out her laptop. She opened the rushed proposal and turned her laptop facing them. There wasn't much to say. “ May I send it to you so that you can go through it?” she asked. “ A physical explanation would suffice.” He replied and she smiled at him.“As we all know my company is the best in wholesome production, distribution, and marketing, we are calling for investors for our latest project, they would be given a profit share of thirty percent after the first two years and if

    “Say yes after a while.” Daniel said, and she looked up at him.“ I don't mix business with pleasure.” she said. He cocked his head to one side, “Whoever talked about pleasure? I'm open to it if you don't mind” He replied with a smile. “ This is your cue.” Daniel urged. “ I know that you are a man of reputable character.” “ I would say; trust no man.” Clara stared at him, what did she have to lose? He had promised to sign that deal, which was fake anyway, but they didn't have to know. “ Like my grandma would say.” She replied in a conversational tone. “That shows that you are in safe hands. I would have loved to meet her.” “ She's late.”He knew that already, it was part of the charade. His brother watched the interaction, this lady was about to be caught between a rock and a hard place. It never ended well for these girls, yet he wondered why they flocked around his twin. B coughed to remind them of his presence," I think you are forgetting something.” He said.Clara's head w

    Pops got off the phone with B and forwarded the voice recordings immediately to Caine. He knew that Caine said that he wouldn't be taking up this case, but that was his first line of call. “I'll give you feedback in a few hours.” “ He sounded serious today, I don't want us to make a grievous mistake.” Pops said in concern, he wouldn't want his grandson to be killed because he was trying to call B's bluff. “ Don't send the money just yet.”“ I don't know about that. He needs to be brought out of that hellhole as soon as possible.” Pops sighed. It was a very risky decision, and he'd rather pay the money. Caine rolled his pen in his hands as he listened to the desperation in his voice. “ I'll tell you something, sir. He wants to push you to send that money. Even if you do so, he will not still release Henry, which I am sure of.” He replied. He and Daniel were working on something else and if it clicked, Henry would be out in no time. “ The deadline is tomorrow.” Pops said, refusin

    The firefighter service was present as soon as possible and Pops watched what was once an impressive image crumble to the ground—charred beyond recognition, one couldn't ever imagine that this place was once a state of the art. ''Did you see anything unusual?” A cop said when he was done inspecting the mess. He brought out his pad and pen and began to take notes. Pops watched his guards deny noticing anything. In their defense, they just observed the burning garden. “ We will need to take down your statements.” The cop said, and they looked up at him with a hint of fear in their eyes.“You will have to follow me to the station, it's just for proper documentation.” He reassured them and took a look at Pops," You will also be accompanying us, sir.” He said. He called his lawyer immediately and informed Caine of the circumstances, and they asked him to go ahead. So they entered his car and off they went. It was almost seven p.m. before Pops finally left and returned home. He stopped

What can I get you?" He asked her and she sat on the tiles."I feel queasy." She said and before she could finish talking, she puked again inside the toilet. "Please get me a tissue." She croaked and stretched her hand backward. That was what she needed.Henry sighed softly as he wiped her mouth for her. "You need to see a doctor, this cannot be ordinary flu." He said and she rinsed her mouth."I think so too. I don't know what is happening to me but I don't feel well inside of me." Like a lightbulb, an idea flashed into his head and he stared at her with wide eyes, and she stared at him strangely." what?" "Are you pregnant?" "What?"

    The flight back to Italy was very quick, maybe it was due to the fact that they didn't have anything bothering them anymore, no need to look over their shoulder for every little matter. Henry was very elated to see the soils of Italy.It made him appreciate freedom. He never knew that he was living like a king even when he was poor but with the small taste of money and the problems that accompanied it, he was able to appreciate being free.Clara rested her head on his shoulder as she stared at the soil. It was good to go home. " How do you feel?" She inquired from him and he smiled at her."I feel good, great, even. Who would have thought that I would miss this place? There was a time I was crazy about leaving the country, now that I know better I know that I was foolish at that time. What the hell was I even thinking at that period? He wondered aloud.Clara giggled beside him, it was amazing how he was able to see things from a grander scope. "I think there are several reasons that w

" Hey, it's okay, I'm free now. You don't need to cry." He said, trying to pacify her and she nodded softly.She moved away so that she could allow the grandfather and son to bond comfortably. Stopping them was not the best thing that she could do because she was feeling a certain type of way. His gaze fell upon his grandfather and he didn't know when he began to weep gently. It was almost as though he was feeling weak and at the same time unable to breathe. "I'm so happy to see you son." He said and held him very close to himself. "Me too, Pops." He said and held him close. His pops had been there for him for a very long time an

    The court room went silent and Henry stared at the man who just came to lie without a tangible reason. His eyes rested on him and he tried to figure out where he knew him from to no avail . It was as though the man had harbored grievances against him and sought the perfect time to unleash his vengeance. He was stupefied." I take objection to that statement. If there's CCTV footage, produce it so that we can all watch it." Henry's lawyer said and he stared at the wicked man who was standing before him. it was obvious that he was just trying to ruin Henry's life."I came with proof if that's what you are asking for." He said confidently and Henry was pissed beyond measure. He didn't know this man from Adam but he was hell bent on tarnishing his image. " Lets have it." The judge called again and it was given to him. The assistant slotted it in and connected it to the projector and they all watched the scene."Pause it there." The judge said and adjusted his glasses." A hush fell ove

    CHAPTER 188: Supreme Court

    After spending a great deal of time trying to make sure that there was no need to continue staying in the hospital, they went to court. Pops pulled some strings on some of his old people who knew what was going on, he was probably thinking about what would have happened if he didn't have such a strong backbone. He didn't even want to imagine it because it would be so brutal. Anyway, it was going to be great if he could actually do without the court order Alas, there was no one above the law. He stood before the judge at the supreme court with his lawyer in front of him. The complainant also stood at the opposite dock. It was a woman, she was claiming that her husband was killed."Mr. Henry, What do you have to say concerning the defendant's claim?" Henry looked at the judge and the sobbing woman. As much as he pitied her, he couldn't help but feel that she was doing a tad bit too much. "I didn't kill her husband, my honor. It was out of self defense. He tried to kill me, whoever has

It was heartbreaking and at the same time she had to maintain a good front because Pops was in the room, staring at her. "That's great to hear. I thought that he was actually harmed. It's good to hear that he's well. Thank you Caine." She mustered a fake smile and Caine stared at his phone as if there was an alien living in it. Wasn't she the person who was angry a few minutes ago that things were hidden away from her? Yet she was telling him thank you. "Good. I'll talk to you later." He said and she nodded before hanging up abruptly and turned to see Pops staring at her. He wasn't talking at the moment but his eyes spoke volumes. He was probably thinking about what was happening to his grandson."Pops, what would you like to eat?" She asked him as she moved closer to his bed to stroke his hands.He shook his head slightly and she

He was sure that they would take him to his doorstep. All he needed was to take a bath first then right after he could now start thinking about other things but for now, he would have preferred just staying away and waiting till there was nothing else to do. "That man is scarred. I don't think we should have let him go just like that. We know that he needed the money. He was just acting so that it didn't seem that way." Fred spoke from the rearview mirror.Caine nodded in agreement. He had other plans for the man but from experience he had known better than to allow anyone to come close to the family because it could be very frustrating if the person didn't know what was going on. It was more of a preservation. No one wanted to be involved with people th

Liam asked as his eyes casually strolled from the intruders to Henry.Henry sighed and balled his fists which were already losing sensitivity due to the excessive amount of blood. "Don't go all macho on him. You can call him my brother from another mother, he's been there even from the beginning of this issue." Liam's eyes narrowed in suspicion as he stared at the man in front of him. He couldn't remember where he knew him from but from the way he was behaving he knew that he was someone of great importance.Caine glanced at Fred before his eyes swung toward Liam and Ryan. This was somewhat a complicated issue because if it was left to him, he would have locked this man up. But with the situation at hand. It sounded unwise because this ma

Liam jumped up immediately and pulled the trigger at Ryan causing him to stumble and almost hit the ground.George, sensing potential freedom, rose from his position and bundled towards Ryan who was rubbing his sore legs. It was a double bullet. He didn't wait till he recovered before falling atop him. Ryan was utterly shocked when he saw that the tables had turned. "Get off me, you oaf." He grunted from beneath George and tried to shake him off but found it hard to do that so he bit him.George, who was stubborn, persisted in making sure that he didn't leave.Henry also joined the party by knocking the gun out of his hands. Ryan was pretty helpless at this point, he bit George on the hand again, this time almost removing the chunk of flesh that surrounded his hand but George made sure that h
