There was something that was peculiar to Antonio and it was the fact that he was gifted with scheming so badly that one would almost forget that he was just a human. He knew all the people in the right places that could aid his ambitions. On one of these days, he was just trying to get out of the house when an idea struck his head.

He was just acting as though he didn't also possess the ability to think thoroughly and it was very annoying then he proposed that he was going to make sure that he was able to get through with a lot of things.

"Maybe I should try to win Emma over?" He thought but was met with disappointment. " That is not a good idea, she would be very quick to go tell Leonard all that was happening. At the end of the he remembered someone who had a common beef with one man that he also hated more than anything in his life and it was none other than Kelvin and Sophie!

He didn't waste time in trying to locate them. He went to the office and went to his records. They had

    Kelvin walked into the establishment with his hands deep into his pocket to stop his fear from showing. There was something that was stopping him from going back already because he knew that once he did, that was all for the day, there was no way that he would be able to rearrange everything back to the way they should have been. "You're welcome, just head over here!" Antonio called as he saw Kelvin looking around warily as if he was lost or something like that. There was something that was making him laugh. "Do you know that there are several people that want to have this opportunity that I'm extending to you? I just hope that you're wise enough not to allow it slip through your fingers. Anyway, when you're ready, kindly let me know." Antonio told somebody on the phone. It was the way he had expected it to be. Kelvin sat down and watched how things were going. It was almost as though there was a problem that he was supposed to solve and that he would need something to change the wa

    Kelvin looked about filled with shock about what he was just hearing regarding the proposal he and Sophie submitted, why would Antonio even think something like that? "What? What do you mean? Take a look at the proposal you'd see that it's very much genuine we had no such thing in mind, " Kelvin said defensively and hurriedly, "why would you even think something like that...? ""No it's alright, " Antonio interjected, "don't even bother trying to defend yourself I completely understand. ""Understand what...? I mean that really wasn't it, " Kelvin insisted but Antonio was no longer paying any attention to what he had to say. "I understand why you would do that and I'm ready to forgive you. I'm not really annoyed after all, " Antonio. At this moment Kelvin was completely taken aback, he didn't know and couldn't understand what was going on or why Antonio was behaving strangely, if the guy knew for real that he and Sophie were truly trying to rip the company off or to do something ul

    "So Kelvin, " Antonio begins after taking a sip of the drink, "before we begin this new partnership of ours I need to make sure that we're on the same page, first did you tell anyone where you were going? And I mean anyone at all we cannot afford to have anybody at our backs watching us to take note of our moves or to report us to Leonard as you know it's not something my brother would be extremely pleased with. ""No of course not, I didn't tell anybody, " Kelvin answered immediately without even thinking but then he suddenly remembered, "or wait I think I told somebody, just one person. ""What? Who was it? Who did you tell? " Antonio asked. "Sophie, I told her a bit about it before coming here but only I swear, " Kelvin replied. "Whether or not it's a bit doesn't matter at all, not even in the very least, the mere fact that you told anyone anything proves that you're not as trustworthy as I thought, and not to mention the fact that the person you told just so happens to be Sophie

    "What the hell was wrong with you?! " Sophie asked Kelvin in anger when they met, "how could you go along with him? Why did you go out with him despite me telling you over and over not to even think about doing anything as stupid as that? ""I was just trying to..." Kelvin began to speak but was sharply interjected by Sophie. "You were just trying to do what exactly, despite me telling you not to even meet him at all you decided it best to perform some kind of experiment or what? You think I didn't know what I was saying or why couldn't you at least organize yourself even if your plan was to do something as stupid and as foolish as that, " she face palmed and cursed inwardly while thinking self deprecating thoughts, after all all of this was her fault she had already begun to regret raining acquainted with Kelvin, "why in the world did I end up with a fool like you, what you did was incredibly foolish and even if there's a slight chance of us getting out of here, we'd have to do so w

    "It can't be! Leonard yelled frustrated smacking his hand at the table, the things on them shook but the impact wasn't powerful enough to cause serious damage,he couldn't even feel the pain because he was utterly distracted.Things escalated too fast, he couldn't believe how fast the rumors were circulating about him not being his father's son,he didn't need such a scandal right now, he had so much on his plate already.It was preposterous! How could anyone doubt his lineage? His father had always treated him as his own, and Leonard had never questioned it until now.Estelle entered the room, the noise attracting her, he could see vividly the concern etched on her face. "Leonard, are you okay?" she asked, her voice tinged with worry.“I'm fine, I'm really sorry for the noise just thinking about things” he muttered trying to suppress his anger.Estelle nodded sympathetically, her gaze lingering on Leonard's troubled expression.

    "Why, what are the charges you have against him? " Dominic asked. "He drugged my boyfriend and is attempting to blackmail him with some compromising photos he had taken while my boyfriend was intoxicated," Sophie replied. "Alright then, do you have any proof of what you're claiming, or any form of concrete evidence whatsoever? " Dominic asked. "No, no I don't have any evidence, " Sophie replied after thinking about it for a moment and Dominic started laughing immediately. "You cannot be for real, how can you expect me to help you with a case against somebody without having concrete evidence or any evidence in fact for that matter, you have absolutely nothing to even make a case, there is no case here as far as I am concerned," Dominic replied. "Come on please I really really need your help with this one, I don't have anyone else to turn to at the moment, I don't really care about how much it costs as long as I'm able to get it done, " Sophie pleaded sincerely with him but Din

    Immediately he stormed off, Leonard hopped into his car, turned on the ignition and stepped on the gas, he gripped the steering wheel till it squeaked for mercy, his knuckles whitened, unable to contain his anger any more. The drive to Antonio's house felt like an eternity for Leonard despite his reckless driving and speed. He could feel the adrenaline coursing through his veins, fueling his anger. The streets blurred by in a haze as he raced towards his destination, his heart pounding in his chest. As he pulled up outside Antonio's house, Leonard's pulse quickened even further. Without a moment's hesitation, he leaped out of the car and stormed up to the front door. He banged on it with a force that made the wood tremble, his frustration boiling over. The door swung open, and before Antonio could utter a word, Leonard lunged forward, his fist connecting with Antonio's nose with a sickening thud. Antonio staggered back, his hand flying to his face as blood gushed from his nostrils.

Estelle let out a sigh of relief as they came to a stop, grateful to be away from the chaos of Antonio's house.Emma was already waiting for them inside, Ava sleeping peacefully in her arms. Estelle hurried over to take the sleeping baby from Emma, offering her a grateful smile."Thank you for staying with her, Emma," Estelle said softly, her voice filled with gratitude.Emma returned the smile, her eyes shining with concern. "Of course, Estelle," she replied. "How are you holding up?"Estelle's gaze flickered to Leonard, who stood nearby, his expression unreadable. "We're managing," she replied, her voice strained. "But it's been a rough day."Emma's brow furrowed with worry. "What happen

    “Hahaha, very funny" Antonio laughed hysterically, glaring over at his brother from the corner of his eyes.“And when exactly did you become a police officer that you think you have the right to tell me to freeze?” Antonio scoffed with malice in his voice.“I always knew you were dumb-witted but this is a whole new low,” he laughed again uncontrollably. “Do you think being a cop is transferable or something? Just because you’re an in-law to one?” Antonio asked sarcastically, but Leonard left Antonio's words hung in the air unanswered while giving time for the police to surround the house. "Leonard, Leonard, Leonard, " Antonio called out his name, his teeth making ‘tsk-tsk’ sounds as he shook his head in disapproval.“You amaze me sometimes, you know brother?” he continued. "Always thinking you were better than everyone else and had it all together but we both know you never did.” He said while he laughed moving towards Estelle but she pushed back from him. “Even taking our sister'

    Leonard frantically looked through the CCTV cameras at the venue of the wedding, his face was beaded with sweat but he somehow managed to remain calm compared to the rest of them he was the one who was calm the most. The day before which was the last day before the wedding he had spoken with Estelle so how was it that she had just gone missing on the day of her wedding? How could she have just vanished into thin air without a word of warning? It had been a couple of hours already but the family wasn’t in a hurry to let the media or the public in general know anything about all that had happened, at least not until they got the bearing back together and had figured out at least something about what was going on, could she have run away on her wedding? That didn’t seem feasible, particularly because of how happy she was during the preparation, she was truly excited to be with Silas, but at the same time, she was afraid that something would happen and perhaps as a cruel joke played on

    Leonard began to go through the accounts book and began to see a large number of errors regarding the money going in and out of the firm, at this time Antonio had been arrested so it was up to him to take over the company and oversee all that was going on within it. But what he was seeing in the books did not put him at ease at the very least, on the contrary,, it made him feel rather disturbed, what exactly had Antonio been doing for so long in the company, what had he been spending so much money on that he didn’t care about the losses it incurred so frequently?He asked himself inwardly and then with a sigh he stood up and decided to question the people who worked for Antonio starting with Alice.She was the only one he actually trusted to tell the truth about what was really going on in the company and every office, as for the others he could not exactly be certain which ones among them were still in contact with or still willing to work for Antonio.

    Sophie paced back and forth in the place she had decided to take shelter which wasn't anywhere comfortable but was some place in the slums, her past self would never once have even imagined that she would ever have a day of such humiliation, a day when she would be trying so hard to fight a losing battle against the monster that was the law. And as it was in that moment this monster was mere minutes away from finding her and choking her to death, as she pondered she recalled what Antonio had said before, both what he said about having more affluence and what he told her to do then with Emma, but it was as she thought about it that she shook her head and decided not to, she was already in hot enough soup, she didn't need to add any more fire. She really didn't know everything about Antonio or what his endgame really was, but one thing she knew that she could count on if she decided to work with him was the fact that somebody was going to have to die, it was just a matter of who, and

    The next dayAs Leonard looked up at the exterior of the company's building, memories started flooding in, he began feeling a sense of nostalgia.The company was a sleek and modern marvel! It appeared as a gleaming giant, its facade a vast expanse of silver-gray glass and steel that seemed to stretch up to the very sky. The entrance was marked by a bold, oversized logo in a bright, electric blue color that seemed to pulse with energy. The walls of the building appeared to be made of a shimmering glass material that reflected the surrounding light, giving it a sense of depth and dimensionality.Overall, it was one damn of a cutting-edge technological company and Leonard couldn't imagine how Antonio might have managed to ruin it.As he climbed the wide stairs leading to the entrance, he cleared his throat trying his best to ignore the nervousness he was feeling.Questions like–would he even be able to fit in? What if no one wanted him there? What if he couldn't catch up and missed ever

    A week laterIn the courtroom, filled with a shimmering sense of hope, Leonard stood in his small wooden cubicle before the judge.Everyone present, expecting nothing but good judgment. Through the thick lenses of the judge looking down on everyone from her high seat, with a hand she picked up her gavel with one hand and struck it twice on the gavel stone.“Leonard, you are hereby acquitted and released from all your charges,” she declared with a sounding voice as light applause began to fill the room.As Leonard made his way out of the court, a whole flock of people including the press, news reporters, broadcasters, the media were outside waiting for Leonard to emerge and once they got sight of him, they all came running to him at once.Lenoard tried his best to stay composed as multiple cameras and mics were getting shoved in his face. “Leonard, look here!” One reporter said, “No, Leonard look here,” another blurted out. “So you were really accused?”The questions kept rolling and

    Estelle adjusted herself on the seat provided before Leonard, sitting upright so she could get a clear view of her brother's face through the security glass partition.“What do you mean by that Leonard? You don't want to work for the company anymore when you come out?” Estelle asks, trying to clarify.Leonard noded, “Just as I said Estelle, I don't think going back to that company is what I want to do.”“Don't think like that Leo,” she started in a convincing voice. “I mean, the company's faith depends on you. Speaking of which, it has already run down significantly, although we haven't run into any debt. What I'm saying is if you leave now, it will be in total shambles.”Leonard looked away for a moment sighing and if he thought Estelle would give up so easily then he was mistaken.“I honestly don't understand how Antonio is running that company, people literally loved you Leonard! In fact it was those same people who advocated for you to be released after all the evidence came out a

    In the boardroomThe atmosphere in the boardroom was thick with anticipation. Silas, a commanding presence with an air of authority, stood at the head of the table, his eyes scanning the faces of the gathered board members.“Thank you all for coming,” Silas began, his voice steady and firm. “Today, we address the matter of the DNA test results.”He looked over at the corner where the police officers he was here with today stood. And with a flicker of his wrist, one police officer came forward, handing him over a brown envelope.Silas took the brown envelope, bringing out the documents within, lifting it up in the air so everyone present in the boardroom could see so there'd be no chances of anyone accusing him that he'd slip anything in.“May a neutral person come forward?” Silas announced and a junior officer appeared before him from the crowd. He hands the documents over to him. “Distribute them.” With that the junior officer nodded, beginning from the first person, he went one aft
