James continued to watch the safe, and when he turned it over. He saw it, the timer. The bomb had really been ticking."Shit!" He cursed and got up"Hey! Stop there! Don't move!" Claps shouted out. He pointed the gun at him along with two other men.Dark clouds got off the floor, pressing his hand to his head.He took a gun from one of his guys and pointed it at James."You really think you can outsmart me and play the role of some kind of sick hero, huh??" Dark Clouds asked him."You know that I know, right? How long do you think you can stay under false pretense?" James asked him. He had his gun pointed at them."Lost in your own understanding, I see." Dark Clouds said. "Well, whatever it is you know, is completely insignificant right now. You will get me that bioweapon and you will disable that bomb. " Dark Clouds said."Well, I hate to disappoint you but that is impossible. That safe is rigged and what you hear ticking right now, is currently counting down at the behinds of that s

"No!" She screamed out loud.The sound of the explosions shook Sarah to her bones. The officers had forced her along with them in order to ensure that she was safe.Tears bubbled in her eyes, as she stared at the flames which had engulfed the forest and everything that was within ten miles of the mansion. The officers pulled her back with them, as her feet prepared themselves to make a run for it."Please! Calm down, Ma'am!" The officer who held her said to her.Sarah fell to the ground crying and grabbing her chest. This had not been the plan, although, it had been a part of her fears.Her voice ceased completely, and she stared helplessly at the smoke and fire sparks that sizzled in the air. Her breath had been reduced to quiet gasps, the wind had become frostily cold as smoke clouds covered the atmosphere where they stood.With every breath she took, her body shivered. Nothing could be seen for miles because that was how thick the clouds were.Hands gripped her shoulders firmly, li

William's eyes roamed Sarah's body. From her messy hair to her knee-length t-shirt which was not decent at all."What are you doing here, Williams?" She asked him. She had lost her ability to be scared. She did not owe Williams anything. This whole engagement was set up by her family and not her."What- what do you mean by what am I doing here? I am here to see if you are okay. You are my fiancee for goodness sake." He said to her."Who is in there?" He said pushing past her."Williams! Williams, this is not appropriate! What gives you the right to just barge into my house like this? I wasn't expecting you, and frankly, I do not owe you any explanation!" Sarah yelled at him."Really?? Really Sarah? Don't you? Who is in there??" He yelled at her."You will not yell or make certain accusations in my house. I do not want to fight with you, Williams. Quietly get the hell out of my apartment right now." She yelled at him."I do not want to fight with you either, but you need to get your he

Mrs Brown hastily walked into Sarah's office, wearing a scowl. Sarah ignored her Express because she already had a fair idea of what the problem was. She must have already spoken with Williams.So, the scowl on her face was not without reason."If it is what I am thinking about, then, I advise that you let it go now," Sarah said to her."What do you mean by that? You have the guys to even suggest that we forget about it? Do you not know that we owe the Smiths our lives? As much as that boy is suddenly rich, I still do not like the idea of him." Mrs Brown said."Really? I mean, I don't understand you, mother. I really don't. James is my husband and you are not making any sense. He is wealthy now or has been wealthy for a long time. Mother, he can take care of everything that we need right now. Why... Why is Williams suddenly a problem?" Sarah asked her."Williams is not a problem. He is a solution! A noble solution. Sarah, you have not properly considered the decisions you are taking a

"The inauguration ceremony will be taking place in a few weeks. It would be more than amazing if you did not have any other engagements that day. The commander-in-chief would be there, and by that, you know who I mean. The President himself would be there, Johnson." The General said to James, while they sat in his office back at the Military Base.The office was well furnished. It was a navy blue painted cool looking, spacious setting. There was a fur carpet spread across the floor, a huge black, swivelling chair on which the General sat and two other comfortable black chairs for guests.There was one long nude-coloured sofa and beautiful artwork decorated the walls."This will be your office soon enough. You are free to head to the company and do the needful for your business, but you have to show up at the office for at least a couple hours a day. How's your arm healing?" He asked James.James seemed a bit distracted. His mood had already turned sour after his argument with Sarah th

The lights flashed across his eyes as he slipped in and out of consciousness. James could hear the distant voices yelling and arguing. The sounds of beeping machines whirring.He could hear the voices but could not make out what they were saying. His vision was blurry and his head continued to hurt. The pain was still too much for him to bear until he couldn't bear it anymore. He gave in to the dizziness that was bearing down on him.By the time he opened his eyes again, he was in a strange room, lying in the bed. He could tell it was a hospital room, but he could not remember what had caused him to get there, or how he had gotten there in the first place.The door opened and Sarah walked into the room. Her face was ashen as though the blood had drained completely from it.She let out a deep sigh and pressed her hand to the door handle, as though bracing herself for something extremely difficult."You're awake." She said in a low tone. James was silent. He remembered what had transpir

Antonio Rizzo strode angrily into the room where his daughter and Peter Causey sat. His expression was one of maddened fury.Causey knew that the meeting would not be a friendly one.Rizzo had a cigarette in his mouth which had not been lit. His missing eye seemed to glare at everything along with his other eye."One job... You had one job!" Rizzo yelled out. " All the men died in that explosion. Every single one of them." Rizzo queried."You did not listen to my advice when I suggested that we hold back the Operation until a later date. Anything that involves that bastard, James Johnson always ends up in disaster. We needed to ensure that those codes were secured." Causey said."Are you by any chance trying to blame my Father for this?" Viola asked him. She sat in a chair opposite Causey, dressed in a green shirt, black pants, and a green hat."I never said that, young lady. I am just saying that it pays to listen to advice sometimes, even when it comes from subordinates." Causey rep

Sarah walked into the Belle view Hotel, and straight up to the restaurant. The doorman took her coat jacket from her as soon as she arrived."Your table is at eight. The Smiths are already seated and expecting you." He said to her."Thank you." Sarah said and walked steadily into the restaurant. Her red bottom heels landed lightly on the smooth surfaced carpet, making it difficult for her steps to be detected.As she drew near the door which led to the VIP room where she knew the Smiths were seated, her feet were propelled by the laughters which erupt from the room, as well as the loud whispers of small talk and idle chatters.Williams words struck her from the door."I think I will get another woman the moment I'm done with her. Then we can make our move." She heard him say in an icy tone. His voice was void of any emotion. Sarah's feet paused at the sound of his voice."What makes you so sure that she would agree to this marriage, given the circumstances at hand?" Mr. Brown asked W

James went to his car and pulled out his box of rifles and set them on his lap."What are you doing?" The General asked him. James continued to rack through his weapons, pulling out a knife, a gun and a couple of other things."Where's the Captain?" James asked him. Suddenly realizing. "What? I don't know. Wasn't he inside the hall?" The General replied.James cocked his gun and handed it to the General. " He wasn't." James replied. His eyes remained pinned across the street.The charity event was probably still goin on."Listen. I have a strong feeling he is a part of this. When you find him, put a bullet in his shoulder for me. Some officers are back at the barracks. Stefan is one of them.“"The Lieutenant? You made a lieutenant stay back, James?" The General asles looking at him surprise."That is the least of our worries. Call him, call the cops too. Get men on the roofs. These bastards are amateurs anyway." He referred to the guards."What do you mean?" The General asked." They

"Mr. Rizzo, what's going on?" Her voice trembled. Her heart took on a sudden tempo that made her feel something was wrong."It is nothing, Miss Brown. They are friends, don't worry." As soon as he said that, one of the men walked up to her and hit her across the face.James shuddered in his seat. It hit him strongly like a sixth sense. His eyes began to scan the room for Sarah. He was sure he had seen her there a couple of moments ago."It is an honour to be gathered here. One of the greatest events is raising leaders," the president's speech continued."What is it, Mr. Johnson? Is everything okay?" The official beside him asked."Have you seen my wife? She is supposed to be seated there. She was, but, she is no longer there." James replied."I haven't seen her. But I will ask the other officials if you want." The woman offered."Please do." James replied, but that was not enough. He still felt a strange feeling beneath his chest. He knew something wasn't right.Suddenly, his phone be

The doorbell dinged, drawing the attention of the maid. She unlocked the door and took the uniform from the drycleaner.James was upstairs getting changed, while Sarah sat at her dressing table putting on her make up. His designed uniform had arrived, and he took it from the maid at the door.He turned to Sarah as soon as he was done putting on his clothes. They had not spoken since their last argument.Sarah noticed his struggle with a button. Everything accused her of what she was about to do. The silence between her screamed at her too.So, she got up from her dressing stool and walked up to him. She helped him pin the badges he had gotten before on his new uniform."I have to admit, you do look handsome in this uniform." She said with a smile.James looked into her eyes, but did not smile. He just stared, his eyes on hersnwere apologetic. And just like that, they both silently agreed that it was cool.He pressed his lips to hers, and kissed her. "I love you." He murmured against h

"You say that as if I am under your control or something!" Sarah said, raisin her voice at him."Control? Now you think I am trying to control you? Where do you get these ideas from??" James asked, looking at her in amazement."This is not about where I get my ideas from. It is if those ideas are true or not. James, I need this charity event. It is going to be good for my business and regaining my family's name and financial freedom.""And what if it is just a trap? You said it yourself, something doesn't add up about them. What they are doing does not seem right, or does it?" "I think I already clarified that doubt. Everything is fine, and with the massive turn up for the event, I will have more than hundreds of people making upfront payments to me, just so that I can handle their events." "And then? And then what, Sarah? What next?" James asked her."What do you mean by that? It is all I really need!" She replied angrily."You are not going for that event. And if I have to lock yo

"I know, but this, is exactly what it seems, General." James replied."The Inauguration ceremony is two days from now on, we cannot have any more problems. Sort out the security issues before anymore problems ensue." The General murmured."Yes General." James replied.Although he knew who the man had been referring to when he said Causey was working with someone who had a daughter, he still needed palpable evidence.***Sarah sat back in her office chair, savouring the light of the afternoon, as the knock sounded on her door."Come in!" She called out.The door opened and the woman who was dressed in an emerald green suit, walked in. Her eyes scouring the room in admiration."These are beautiful sets of furnitures. How else can one explain the idea of class, luxury and a gracious ambience if not this office?" The Editorial representative of Forbes whom she had met at the rehearsal for the Charity event complimented her."Thank you so much, Miss Brianne." Sarah smiled."I must say that

"Thank you for the advice. Now, don't ever call me up if it isn't something to do with you and my daughter getting a divorce." Mrs Brown said in a snide manner.Without waiting for a response, she got up and walked out of the restaurant. Sarah woke up that morning to find James gone. It was completely unlike him to just leave without speaking to her or at least letting her know he was leaving.Her phone had already been loaded with tons of messages concerning the charity event. Three people had already reached out to her organization to inform her they would be needing her services the next month."My goodness, basically every week in August is booked! I told you this would be a huge opportunity turn around for you." Viola said to Sarah when they met each other later that day."I couldn't agree more. Just one connect. I can't believe I haven't even done the interview yet and six people have already messaged me to handle their event security and organization.""In no time I would have

"Yes ma'am." The guard replied."Sarah! Oh my goodness, I did not believe you would actually show up!" Viola squealed as soon as she saw Sarah walk into the hall."I love your dress. It is exquisite." Sarah complimented her, before kissing the air beside her cheeks."I can't believe he allowed you to come out at this hour. Are you good? Are you sure?" Viola asked her and Sarah nodded."I don't want you and I to have any problems, Viola. At least for business sake." Sarah responded."I completely understand. I agree totally. I wouldn't want any issues between the two of us either." Viola replied. "Anyway, I am glad you came. There is someone here who would love to meet you.""This is just to prove to you that there will be a lot of people to connect with on the main event day. Sarah, meet Brianne. Brianne is one of the formal Editorial representatives for Forbes magazine. She had a lot of business contacts and event opportunities that could fly your brand in one second.""Wow, it is an

James' eyes flashed. "I knew it was you. It was the same man he had chased round the hotel. The man who had hit him and run away."You trusted the wrong people, but if you tell me everything you know now, I will make sure you get a pardon and not all charges will be knocked on you." James said to him."Tell me why I should trust you." The man said to him."Give me.one good reason why I shouldn't bust up your ass here and light it up like a Christmas tree." James retorted. "Then again I suppose you would not have called me here if you didn't trust me to listen to you first.""I just want their reign of terror to end! First it was my wife and now, me! We are all trapped in this circle of use! We are indebted to that man and he ahs made us his slaves!" The man cried."Let me guess, Causey? Peter Causey?" James asked him."Peter Causey and someone else. I don't know his name, but I know he has a daughter, and he even hired this popular man who ran the great Chen heist." The man responded.

Sarah stared at Viola in consideration of what she had asked her. "How certain are you that all these people would attend?" Sarah asked her."Ask certain as I am of the fact that the darkness would cover the night sky tonight." Viola replied."Fine, I will attend the event, but only for my business sake. But I don't want to see you anywhere close to James. Are we clear?" Sarah asked.Viola rose her hands in surrender. "As you please." Sarah turned around and left. She bumped into Anna on her way heading to the elevator. It surprised Anna that she had been there, but she didn't even stop to apologize for bumping into her.Sarah put the phone to her ear and almost immediately, her assistant's voice came over the phone. "Where are you? "She asked her."Ma'am, I'm at the new office trying to set up." Her assistant responded. Sarah's face morphed into a frown. "What new office?" She asked her."I received your email this morning. Your husband said..." The girl kept quiet out of sudden con
