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

Sarah pulled herself out of his grip, she stared into his eyes for a moment breathing heavily. What was she doing? She asked herself.She was supposed to hate him, hate his guts for putting her in the complicated situation she had found herself in. This was James Johnson, poor James Johnson, the man she could not stand, or perhaps she thought she could not stand him.I'd she hated him that much, then why had she slept with him two times now? Why did her knees feel weak now that he had kissed her, and touched her?"You can't deny that there is something here," James whispered to Sarah. "You know what I mean. You and I belong together and that is what we are now."His thumb traced an invisible line across her lower lip.Sarah continued to stare into his eyes as though she were hypnotized into paying attention to His words. He reached down to her face and caressed her cheeks gently. He watched her face twist with uncertainty, and do, he let his hand drop."Take me home." She whispered ho

James stood outside the East view Central Hospital, off Zest Avenue. The beautiful, Indian nurse who had been in charge of his Father walked out to meet him.He has been waiting there for a longer time than necessary."Mr. Johnson, I hope you have not been waiting out here for too long?" the nurse asked him."Nurse Priya. No, not at all. I just arrived. May I see him now?" James asked her curiously, he was eager to see his Father."The Doctors are still attending to him, and he has not yet been out of coma. I know you are anxious about his condition but I can assure you the Doctors are doing their best" she said looking at him with doll-like eyes."I believe so, I just hope that there isn't anything or any developments that I am meant to know about. I want to be kept up to date with anything that concerns his health" James said to her."I will ensure that you are kept informed and updated. Still, you can come into the reception and wait, instead of out here in the cold, Mr. Johnson "

"Good morning Miss Brown" the female officer walked into the interrogation room with a cup of coffee in her hand."Officer, what is going on? This is the height of disrespect I have ever received! Why would your men walk into my hotel room at one in the morning?!" She yelled at the woman angrily."I am sorry for the inconveniences that have been caused you, Miss Brown, or is it Mrs Johnson?" The tall, extremely fit looking officer asked sarcastically."I do not appreciate being insulted. I am a Brown as you very well know. Why am I here?" Sarah asked sternly."Well, Miss Brown, you see, we got Intel last night that your company, Capitalize Escorts, has been using it's escort services for the transfer of drugs around town." The officer replied."Excuse me?" Sarah asked in surprise. "That isn't true at all. I mean, how is it even possible?! All my girls go through proper security checks and we have standards" Sarah said Vehemently." I am certain you do, but, we found one of your girls

James continued to watch Sarah closely as she spoke into the phone."Yes Mother, I don't care, I will wire all the money to him if he wants it. Just tell him, I need his help." Sarah said to her mother."That would have to be in the morning, darling. It is extremely unsuitable to ask your brother to drive out at such an ungodly hour of the day, and you know how careless he is while driving. Nonetheless, at exactly six in the morning, he would be there." Her mother replied.The tears which had been stuck to Sarah's eyes, dropped of their own accord, as she brought the phone low and stared at it"Hello? Sarah? Baby, are you there?" Her mother's voice questioned over the phone.James stared at her for a moment, quietly, and then turned around and walked away.Sarah swallowed hard as she stared into the empty cold room. It was about a few minutes later before Officer Charlene returned to the room."So, I just got off the phone with the Inspector General of Police, strangely, he said someo

At exactly seven-thirty that morning, the police officers knocked on Sarah and James' hotel room door to ensure they were out of the Hotel and on their way to the station as was agreed.They got there at exactly Eight o'clock. James drove at the same time Theodore's grey Range Rover SE drove into the parking lot.A tall man dressed in a dark grey suit and sleek back brown hair stepped out of the passenger seat of Theodore's car, at the same time Mrs Brown and Mr. Brown got out of the back seat.James shook his head quietly as he exited the car and pulled the door open for Sarah to come down. Sarah tiredly met up with her parents at the door."Baby! Oh my, I was so worried all night, I wondered how you fared." Mrs Brown exclaimed."I..I didn't need to sleep in there anymore. Somebody called in a favour for me with the Inspector General." Sarah replied. Mrs Brown turned to Theodore and the others, whose expression revealed they were equally perplexed."Wow, that is great news. Who could

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
