I am sorry about what happened. I did not know you were the one I was supposed to meet with. I really thought that... "James raised his hand to stop her. He was also sorry about the fact that they were having arguments and he had nearly hit her. Even though, that was an accident."I am also sorry. I did not know you were the person I was meeting for business. Anyway, enough of the past, let's have lunch, so we can discuss more about the deal." He said to her."Sure! My name is Violet, Mr. Johnson." She said to him and he smiled at her."James, James Johnson." He replied."Nice to meet you, Mr. James Johnson." She said to h

James continued to watch Viola from the window of his apartment on the sixth floor. She was speaking to someone inside the black tinted Range Rover SE which was parked outside the hotel.She had been there for about an hour already. Why didn't they sit out or have their conversation elsewhere? He thought to himself."This is not what we agreed to, Father. You were not supposed to come here. What do you want these people to think about me? What would James say?" She asked James."I don't care what those people think! You tell him that you have a possessive father. Or something like that. Tell me, have you found anything yet ?" He asked her."Father! I just got talking with him yesterday. You do not expect him to start telling me about his secrets and everything about him in just one night." She queried him"No problem about that. But you are a beautiful woman, Viola, come on!

The female receiver spoke over the phone."Mr. Brown just walked out of the United Bank building. I would like to know what his business was there?" He asked her."Well, Mr. Brown came over to handle person matters Sir. None of which I am aware of, and neither am I allowed to disclose that information. What do you know about Mr. Brown's business at all then? Does he have an account with United Bank?" Williams continued to ask her."How about you speak to our Manager, Sir?" The lady suggested."No, that's okay. I don't need further information." He said and cut the call. He drove off. He had a meeting to catch up with."Y

Hi, I was just on my way out to an important meeting." Sarah said to him."Oh, is that so, let me drop you off then." He offered."No, you don't have to, Williams.

James hid behind the door which opened up to his balcony. How the hell had Sarah known to come to the Hamilton Hotel? What was she doing there? James asked himself.His phone began to ring within his pockets and he pulled it out and brought it up to his ears."Why didn't you tell me Sarah was coming here?!" James scolded his aide who he had put in charge of keeping tabs on Sarah."I had no idea that was where she was headed boss. I just arrived behind her moments ago, when I realised that she was parked outside the hotel. " His aide Cameo replied."Do you want me to keep an eye on her?" Cameo asked."Of course Cameo. Find our who she is meeting with and what is the reason for their meeting. Do you understand?" James commanded."Yes Boss!"

Sarah watched as the man walked up to her table. She had not expected such a scary looking man to show up and claim to be Interested in the business she was starting."Mr. Antonio Rizzo, am I right?" She asked him and he nodded with a smile. He had not bothered to hide his eyes behind shades."It is a pleasure to meet a beauty like you. I have heard many things about you." He said to her, and she looked up at him with interest."Really? Many things from who? " She asked him kindly."Well, your business profile says alot and I am a wealthy man as you can see. I have eyes everywhere and contacts. If I wished to find out about anyone, all that information would be made available to me at the snap of my finger." Mr. Rizzo replied to her."Well, I am grateful even unknown sources testify good things of me. I am pleased to have such an honourable man in my presence. I have heard alot about you as well. How is the family? Your daughter?" She asked him.A lopsided smile formed on his lips as

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
