He turned around in bed and hugged the woman beside him, planting a gentle kiss on her cheeks."You always come home stressed and this is the first time you and I have had to spend time together as a family." The woman he had kissed said with a smile."Hey, I am always out serving my country, so that you and the kids could both have a great life and be safe from the trouble outside."Still, I need you here often. We need you here. Sometimes I wonder if you remember that we are expecting a baby. Bernard, I want you to always remember that we are your first priority before anything else. Else, we should not have spent thirteen years together." The woman replied.Their room was dimly lit by a faint yellow, crystal night lamp.The dark blue well visible from the illumination of the light."Well, this is the one night I get to spend with you and you have my full attention..." He was barely done speaking before his phone began to ring.The heavily pregnant woman let out a sigh and turned aw

"Oh, Williams! You are such a sugar talker. Your words are extremely sweet to listen to." The female voice giggled out loud."Not as sweet as the way you look right now. Honestly, you are so beautiful." He said in a whispery voice. The beautiful woman who was dressed in a yellow pant trouser and a white tank top that was very revealing.Sarah could hear their voices from the hallway. The door to the living room pushed open and Sarah walked into the room. She was surprised to find him in a compromising position with the supposed woman whom she later got to find out, was the wedding planner. Williams turned to her with a smirk on his face and sat upright."Welcome, Sarah. Have a seat. Dolly, this is Sarah Brown, my fiancee." He said cooly and pulled up a cigarette which he lit casually. Sarah's expression was livid and she wanted to walk out, but she couldn't displease Williams, it would only complicate things for her family.Her phone began to ring, one of her cousins was in town alre

James drove his car to the Inauguration event center the next morning. There were police vans parked in the parking lot and paparazzi seemed to have crowded the place.He spotted the Soldier who had been in charge of the preparations when the General was not around."What is going on?" James asked him. He wore a white t-shirt on top his army trousers. The sun was hot and his shades reflected the sunlight."The General has gone missing, Sir." The soldier replied.James let out a light chuckle as he turned to him."What do you mean the General is missing. How could a whole General be missing?" James asked him sardonically."I'm serious Sir. He went missing last night. There was an incident here at the Center and the General had come to check it out. We all were inside when he stepped out. He had not informed anyone he was leaving but, he was on his phone when he left." The Soldier replied, maintaining a serious expression."What did the cops find?" James asked."Well, the Local police

Sarah spotted her cousin, Jasmine, from the doorway. FELINE was the only classy place within a mile range of Brooklyn. She knew Jasmine would be doing business there.As soon as she had gotten her call that afternoon, she jumped out of bed and hurriedly put her clothes on. She had been taking a power nap while pondering on the disaster that was her life.The double glass doors bombed each other as she walked into the boutique."Sarah!" Jasmine chirped happily, waving at Sarah from one of the sections. Sarah walked up to her wearing a very exhausted expression which was far from that of a person who had just gotten out of bed."You don't look like you just had a day's sleep." Jasmine's pretty light-pitched voice belled out."And you look like you just stepped out of vogue." Sarah admired the red, taffeta dress her cousin wore. The young girl who stood beside her took pictures.That was her job. She was a lifestyle model. She was doing it in Denver or Michigan if she wasn't showing the

James rushed into the hospital where the General's wife had been pulled in for labor. He knew he had to make sure the General was okay. It was already one week before the Inauguration ceremony.In just a few days, the General would be retired. Why anyone would want to take him now was still ambiguous to James.The head doctor walked into the reception with gloves on his hand. He looked perturbed. James walked up to him."Doctor. How is she?" He asked bearing down on the average-height man who was older in age and wore lenses over his blue nose mask."Who are you?" The Doctor asked, but when he spotted James's camouflage pants, he immediately clammed his mouth shut."Are you the General's second in command?" He adjusted his question."Yes, I am," James replied."Come with me." The Doctor said. They stood outside the operation room where the General's wife laid on a table with her open and some nurses attended to her.James could see the mountain of blood soaked wool which was being use

"You listen to that stupid girl way too much! I have warned you severally that Jasmine is not someone you ought to be paying any attention to. She is a wild card!" Mrs Brown scolded Sarah."Mother! Come on, that is too much please!" Sarah retorted."You think? Tell me, what decent girl goes around cities dressing in skimpy clothes, claiming to be a lifestyle model?" Mrs Brown scoffed with her nose squeezed in disgust."One who is making a lot of cash and killing it in America!" Jasmine chirped, as she walked into their living room."Oh really? Your mother called two weeks ago! Jasmine, two weeks ago, and do you know what she told me?" Mrs Brown said to her.Jasmine rolled her eyes sarcastically at her and plopped down into the chair beside Sarah."She told me that she has not heard from you in six months. Six months Jasmine! What sort of daughter are you? I have sent money to her more than three times this month. You have not sent her a dime now, have you?" Mrs Brown queried her.

"Why are you doing this?" The General asked the man in front of him. He had a mask on. But the General was far too familiar with that mask."You really underestimate me, General. I do not want much from you. I just want us to discuss." The electronic magnified voice filled the room."What do you want to talk about?" The General's voice was already rough as a result of the cold that seemed to surround the part of town they were in."That stunt you and your men pulled... It cost me a whole lot." The voice said."You cost yourself a whole lot. You thought you were harming the Military by setting up such a huge pick on Mr. Chen. Dark clouds, you lost more than a dozen men. Now, you pick a fight with me?" The General chuckled."My fight is not with you." Dark Clouds said, moving his gun in his hand."Oh, James Johnson then. You are really lacking in skillfulness and tact. I mean, do you really want me to believe that this is solely about James Johnson? Okay fine! Say it is. Then what?" Th

James turned around to find the Captain standing across the street from him. He walked over to where he stood."What is it?" James asked. His hands were folded across his chest."What were you doing over at the laboratory?" The captain asked.James suspected that he had seen him go in with the plank, and so he thought to structure his next reply carefully."Well, something needed fixing and I went to check it out. Anyway, how is the search for the General coming along?" James asked him.The General gave him a penetrating look that depicted mistrust and suspicion. James kept his shoulders high and his arms folded."The search is going fine. The men are out looking for evidence and... And any... Anything that could b-b-be a lead!" The General stammered nervously."Why aren't you with them?" James asked. He had long had his suspicions about the Captain but he needed to be certain first."I had to see to things here at the base. And you? What re you not out doing your job?" The Captain re

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
