"So, what did your grand father say?" Anna asked James"What does he have to say? Nothing new. He wants me to come home" James replied."You know you can't hate him forever" Anna whispered to James."I don't hate him, Anna. I just blame him for what happened. They are two different things." James replied."I understand and I just feel like maybe you are being too hard on him. He is much older now than he was when everything happened. If you ask me, I would say it is worth handling maturedly this time." She suggested."I don't know about that, Anna. He may have been able to force me to sign the inheritance papers, but that is as far as it gets" James replied.Ann sighed and patted his shoulder. "This is all for the best." She said to him."Yeah, Sarah is more important to me right now." James said stiffly."Well, Congratulations once again. This is everything that you need to make your life different." She commented."Yeah" he replied with a nod. "But hey...""I still wish to keep my i

James hurried off from Common Bank back to Capitalize Escort so he could pick up Sarah. He stepped out of the car and rushed into the building, hoping that she had not been through yet.He greeted the receptionist and asked her if Sarah had been done yet."No, Miss Brown has not come down yet" the young lady replied."Alright"James nodded. He decided to get a cup of coffee, and then, take a seat there at the reception.While he was on his way to get coffee, he ran into his former Boss, Mr. Raymond Colt, the Mangaer of Crystal's Angels, a low budget Escort Company.James had worked with him as a security personnel, and that was where he got his experience to work with Capitalize Escort.Mr. Raymond had a rather grim expression on his face and he looked really upset.Mr. Raymond had come to Capitalize Escort to pitch a business proposal to them, but had been rejected because he did not pass the review.Sarah was not interested in doing business with them, and on seeing James, he thought

James picked out his phone and dialed Anna's number amidst Mr. Raymond's rants."Anna, I need you to help me out with something here. Put a call across to the owner of Crystal's Angels Escort Services. I want her to know that her Manager is unsuitable for the position he is manning." James said angrily into his phone.Mr. Raymond shook his head with laughter as he mocked James for thinking he could fake a call to scare him."Oh my goodness, you must be desperate to think you can fool anyone with that....is that a phone? What is that?" Mr. Raymond mocked James while pointing to the phone in his hand."What is going on?" Anna asked rubbing her forehead. Although she had warned James severally about this lifestyle he had resorted to living, he still refused to listen to her."He is being verbally violent and improper at a business establishment. You can tell his Boss that he just ruined her chances at doing business with Capitalize Escorts." James replied.Anna rubbed her forehead again

James opened the back door for Sarah to get in. He stood with his back straightened, and his face upturned.Sarah glanced at his stiffened frame, and a pang of guilt stabbed at her chest. What was wrong with him anyway? She thought to herself.She let out a sigh as she settled into the back seat. Her eyes watched him secretly as he got into the driver's seat. He locked the doors and wound up the tinted glass windows so that he could turn on the Air conditioning just like she liked it.Her face furrowed into a frown as she appraised the situation she had just found him in with Mr. Raymond. She was certain she had seen Raymond begging him for forgiveness."What did you do or say to Mr. Raymond that had him all in a frenzy just now?" She asked ignoring his crude manner.She saw James glance up at her through the rearview mirror but stayed quiet instead. He repeated his look twice, aware that she was still gazing at him."What makes you think I said anything to him?" James asked with a ra

"Okay, I'm sorry, I don't understand what is going on? How did you get my information and who is issuing the money? Is it a loan or what?" Anna asked in a state of total shock and confusion."Well, Ma'am the orders came directly from the top, I would like to confirm some details of yours, Ma'am," the representative who spoke with her said."Is everything alright, Ma'am?" James asked glancing at her from the rearview mirror.She raised her forefinger at him, signaling him to hold on momentarily."Okay, go ahead," Sarah said to the girl, praying and hoping it was not some prank of Peter Causey's to trick her and dupe her of more money than she had left."What is your full name?" the girl asked."Sarah Brown...Johnson" she added the last part in a whisper. She had never once said James'surname to hers, but to seek loans, she did that because it showed the establishments that she was responsible as well as trustworthy.It was absurd, yet, all the same, that was the structure of the world.

Sarah signed the papers that were handed to her by Rebecca and watched her move around the office, stapling, photocopying, and faxing what was needed at that moment.Rebecca regained her seat as soon as she was done mailing out Sarah's information back to the cashiers and to the Manager."I have sent the order to the cashiers downstairs and back to the Manager. In less than fifteen minutes, you should receive an alert from your Company's Bank." Rebecca assured her."Wow, thank you, thank you so much," Sarah said to Rebecca and followed James outside.As soon as she was outside the door, her phone beeped, signaling her that she had just received a text message. She opened the message and saw the alert of one hundred million dollars deposited into her account by Common Bank.Sarah squealed excitedly and jumped into James unconsciously as she rejoiced."Oh my goodness! It worked!" She squealed outJames held her steady in his arms, releasing his grip on her gently as their eyes met, and

James watched Mr. Brown retreating as he walked away towards the restroom area."Hello, I don't know what you want from me. Why are you doing this now??" Mr. Brown roared into the phone. His voice was hushed, and at the sounds of footsteps approaching the Bathroom door, he pulled a stall open and went into it."What you think about on a daily is what is affecting you right now, Mr. Charles Brown" Peter Causey's grim voice sounded over the phone."I refuse to let you be a terror to my family and me. What do you want?! Mr. Peter Causey?" Mr. Brown asked." We had a deal! You owe me, Mr. Brown and you know this. It is far beneath you to decide to suddenly back out of an agreement we created on a long-term basis". Peter Causey's voice sounded leeringly."It did not involve raping my daughter! Your atrocious act broke that deal the minute you laid your filthy hands on her! You were supposed to charm her into falling for you and not force yourself on her!" Mr.. Brown said in vexation."What

James got up angrily as he glared at Theodore Brown. He had gone too far in his accusations, and James was more than willing to put him in his place."How dare you speak to her like that?!" James asked in a threatening tone."Who gave you the right to speak? " Theodore scoffed. "I knew it, I did! You give them a chair, and they take the whole house! This is all your fault, we are here in this post in the first place because of you!" Theodore accused Sarah while pointing a finger at her."Put your finger down!" James bellowed."And what would you do about it, if I don't! This is a family matter, if we need to clean the outsides of the cup, I'll call your name! Capisce?" Theodore retorted."Apologize to her" James had lost his temper by now, and whenever he was about to take a dangerous step, his voice relaxed into a dark, silent growl. Which was what he used in speaking to Theodore now."Excuse you?" Theodore asked, looking angrily from Sarah to James, and back to Sarah's face which wa

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
