“ Yes, something like that, what do you think about that?” Clara asked nonchalantly while watching him through the top of her glass. He looked at her challenging manner. “ Why do you ask that?” He asked and she looked at him for a minute before smiling at him. She had to give a spot in response, if not, he would suspect the involvement with the case, and she didn't want that. So, she shrugged nonchalantly. “ I don't know, it's an idea that I've been thinking about for a while now. I want to know where to draw the line at certain behavior. Is it good to settle it the legal way or with fists.? She gave her best impression of a curious researcher. “That's a weird thought coming from a lady. You can't expect business owners to resort to jungle justice, it'll kill their career faster than they can say Jack.” Terence replied with a small shake of his head. “ I hope you are not planning on taking the law into your hands when you start working for me.” He asked jokingly. “ Oh, I can do w
The ballroom was in utter silence and from the way she laid on the ground, her Bluetooth device fell out of her ear and she looked sideways to see if Terrence had caught that. “ We've been tipped that some criminals are here. Therefore, everyone remain quiet as we do our jobs, no noise from you. I'll blow your brains out.” One of the men threatened them. “ Are these men real cops?” Clara muttered to Terrence who lay beside her, and he shook his head, confirming her suspicion. They walked to the center of the room and pointed their guns threateningly," These people are fraudsters.” Terrence whispered, and her eyes widened in amazement. I knew it! Clara wanted to say as she slotted the device into her ear stylishly.“ Tender your phones, everyone.” They ordered and no one rose. “ What has that got to do with arresting criminals, officers of the law?” A woman shouted and they turned in her direction.“ How dare you speak to us in that manner?” They asked. Clara and Terrence looked
Clara ran inside the lobby to take cover. “ Who are these people?!” She shouted. “ Easy on the noise, these are the FBI squad. Don't come out, no matter what happens. Got that?” He asked.“ Yes,” She replied and rolled behind the bar counter, she discovered that she was not alone, another man was hiding there. It was the second thief who was knocked out cold by Terrence earlier today.Her eyes traveled downward and saw him smiling wickedly at her with his outstretched gun. “ Welcome to my lair.” He said, and Clara's eyes widened in fear with her heart palpitating in anxiety of being trapped with this man.She opened her mouth to reply when they heard an explosion, the floors vibrated and Clara was knocked backwards as she heard a crack in the wall of the building. The Chandelier fell first with a loud smack. She didn't waste time after the initial impact, and she ran fast towards the door. The fire has begun to spread towards the entrance of the hotel.It was better to be out there
Clara was surprised, but she kept her cool and played along," How did you manage to escape those gunmen?” She asked in exaggerated surprise, widening her eyes as though she saw a ghost as she looked around. He was in a smaller car this time, by small she meant that it was not as dramatic as a limousine, not that it was cheap.Her eyes flew to his arm which was bandaged thoroughly, and she looked at his face expecting to see pain, instead, she saw a relaxed man. He didn't seem to be feeling any pain," How's your hand doing?” She asked in concern and tried to touch it, but he jerked away. “ Oh, sorry. I don't know what I was thinking.” “Where are we going?” She asked him, and he looked at her, with a small smirk on his face. She stared at him too," Why are you staring at me?” “ You were staring first,” “ I wasn't…Is that a gun?” She swallowed when she saw the compact open, why was he holding a gun and taking her somewhere she didn't know tonight? Her brain went into overdrive as v
“ You are unsafe there, he intends to drug you, I don't know how he managed to know your involvement in all of this.” Clara's eyes widened a fraction before she recovered fully and tried her best to get her anxiety levels down. There was nothing she could do at this point because he was bent to find out and all that she could think of was how to get out of where she was at that time. “ Is everything okay?” He asked, interrupting her thoughts.She pretended to jolt out of a deep thought, and she heaved a sigh," I just received a call that my brother is in a coma, I need to go see him.” She said with her eyes widened. She rose immediately, and his hand clamped over hers. “ Where are you going?” he queried, and she gave him a surprised look, didn't he hear what she just said? “ I need to go home, I'm taking the first flight home in the morning, I have to go pack my bags” He refused to let her go, and her eyes widened," is there a reason you don't want to let go?” She asked in a frus
“What do you mean by she escaped your hands, how did she manage to outsmart you? I could have sworn that you wouldn't be able to be gotten rid of, but now she did it without any stress” B spoke angrily. Of all the things that he expected his brother to do, this was certainly not it. He paced around the office, if it were another person who committed this crime, he wouldn't have hesitated to kill them off, but here he was trying to hear what his twin's stupid reason was. “Let's have it.” He said, and he looked at him, with a withering glare.“ It would have been too obvious if I stopped her from leaving, it was tantamount to kidnap, you know that. Drugging her would have been the best.” Terrence said. Blaze was very angry and his eyes raged with furious anger, if it were another person, shit! He would have killed them instantly, how dare Terence tell him that his option was better," You are getting on my nerves and I don't like it. I gave you a simple job, I got Henry without stres
Henry felt the impact of the gunshot rang into the air, and he ducked as fast as he could. Blaze turned when his hand began to hurt, he turned toward his attacker and saw that it was none other than Detective Caine.“ You!” he pointed at him angrily but was met with Caine's nonchalant expression, he was not interested in hearing whatever Blaze had to say. “ You are under arrest for kidnap, illegal possession of guns, and attempted murder.” He said. Blaze chuckled loudly," You think you can arrest me? Is that what this is?” He asked, and Caine didn't reply. He was here alone, so he had to be careful. “Crawl back to the hole you came out from.” He said and flicked his hand like he was talking to a fly on the wall.“And if I don't?” Caine asked as he moved a step closer. This man needed to be taught a great lesson. He thought as he walked closer again. Blaze looked around and waved his hand across the room," I will kill you.” Caine sighed, he didn't want to kill Blaze, he wanted hi
Clara took a step backward when she heard what he said," You killed someone?” Henry repeated to be certain he heard him well.“ Yes. I admit that there was a time when I was involved in some dealings at a point in my life. He tried to kill me, and I retaliated. I should have known that he would have a kid that would try to take vengeance.” Pops sighed and shut his eyes as he remembered the unfortunate incident.“ Do you think his brother will return?” Henry asked. It was only normal that Terrence would try to retaliate, he didn't want to continue the cycle again.“Caine is working towards that.” “ I'm sorry to announce to you that he is not the only one who is after you.” Caine interrupted from the doorway, cutting their attention away. “ I found out that we might have other people who are after you, and so you still have to be under protection.” He said.Henry sighed, this was what he feared, he wouldn't be able to move freely without looking over his shoulder. “ What's the way fo
