"What kind of question is that, Lucas?" Alex raised his head staring into his eyes one on one without a flinch at all.

"What did you mean what type of question is that? Alex, who gave you this contract? The last time I checked you signed a contract with me secretly and I didn't give it to you as a physical document neither did I share a dime with you so I'm asking you one more time, where the hell did you get this contract from?"

Alex shook his head up and down simultaneously as she gave a sonorous laugh, "Your contract? You must be a joker to think I'll take my precious time to look for your contract. If you don't want to be locked in here with me and become my new inmate you better get yourself together and keep a low tone."

Lucas hushed down his voice and placed his hands tightly on the desk with his veins showing evidently on his skin.

"For the last time, Alex. Who gave you this contract? I want you to look into my eyes and tell me who gave you this damn contract? Do you have a

    James turned on his laptop but he couldn't concentrate on the task he had on his screen. All his kind kept thinking of Anna and what she might be going through. He doesn't know if he should go ahead to attack the bar attendant guy who must have drugged his woman or if he should just ignore it. "Damn!" he slammed the desk so hard and yelled out in anger. "I can't even imagine losing someone like Anna when I know that I'm not on good terms with her mother. What would become of me if she heard that her daughter died while in my care? Do you think she will ever forgive me?" He relaxed his back on his chair and spun around in deep thought. "No! I have to be there for Anna. I have to go back to the hospital. I want to be sure that all is well with her." He stood up from his chair and started arranging his files back to his briefcase. Knock! Knock! A sharp knock was heard on his door as he kept being focused on the files he was arranging. "Lucas, you can come in the door is still open,

    “I…I…was trying to come up with the mail I can send to the companies that were supposed to be present today.” She stuttered with her speech as she responded to him with her face facing down.“Really? You couldn’t think about it on your desk so you decided to think about it here when you are not yet settled.” he raised his head to look at the tip of her head before proceeding to continue his words.“Do you use your brain to think at all? What kind of human being will stand right here thinking of the mail to send? Are you sure you still value this Job, Racheal?”She nodded her head swiftly at the speed of light,” Yes sir! I so much value this job with everything in me.”James gave a sarcastic laugh as he watched how dramatic s he was towards him, "I don't think you truly value this job at all, Rachael. If you care about this job so much then you will act like you really care but for now, you are just playing with it, forgetting that you can easily get replaced."Hearing those words alon

    The driver didn't bother conversing with Sir James as he used to, he was more focused on getting to the hospital before he ran out of time.He noticed that the atmosphere in the car was calm and silent so he went ahead to play Sir James' favorite music. Immediately the song was turned on James was seen moving his head from one point to another enjoying the rhythm of the music. The driver peeped through the rear mirror as he watched Sir James moving his head slowly and steadily t the rhythm of the music. Within thirty minutes of driving, they finally arrived at the hospital. Vroom! Vroom! The car was carefully parked in the car park as the driver turned off the car's engine. "Sir James, we've arrived at the hospital just as you've wished." The driver broke out of the silence. "Thank you very much. It was a peaceful ride and I'm more glad that you know the right music to put me in the right mood." James responded to him with a bright smile glaring at both sides of his cheek. The

    "Sir James can you hear me at all? I said this is a private space and you have to lower your voice and the way you speak. We have other patient in their private wards and they need a calm environment." The nurse held unto his hands trying to pull him back a little bit. James took a quick stop and fling his hands off the nurse grip, "Nurse,I don't wat to be harsh to you at all so kindly mind the way you place your hands around me. Aren't you aware that here needed a peaceful human being when you people allowed that woman to go near Anna?""But, Sir James this woman in question is your mother-in-law and Anna confirmed it that she knows the woman so it was above us to retreat the woman from stepping her feet into the hospital."James was pained and got triggered by the mention of Anna's mother and how the nurse addressed her as his mother-in-law, "If you dare mention that woman as my mother-in-law again then you will have me to contend with just allow me to handle this myself without yo

    Meanwhile back at the office, Precious was still roaming around Mason. From her demeanor alone one could tell that she isn't settled and she wants Mason to stop giving her silence as a response. She rushed to his side and pushed a hint of the walls without being patient with him at all, "Mason, you have to answer me right away because my blood is boiling so hot and I can't keep it to myself at all. I need to punch someone in their face right now."Mason ignored the words that came out of her mouth as he dragged his feet and started walking towards the exit door but Precious wasn't backing down at all as she ran to him to attack him with her words. "Mason, you are too quiet for my liking, and the more you are quiet to this being who wants to take you down the more you are giving them the upper hand to do what they want to do with you." She continued with her mouth moving at a very fast speed. "Mason, you have to wake up!" She banged her hands on the wall in anger as her heart kept p

    “Gosh! I don’t think these people know what I’m going through simultaneously. I have to prove to my father that Micheal is not who he thinks he is and then I have to deal with Micheal while struggling to find the people who wanted to kill my father.” he rested on the wall feeling frail as she struggled to get himself into a single piece.“I can’t afford to give up now when I know that I have a lot of people to drag down.” he shook his head, gently reconsidering that he had to prove a point.He walked back and forth with a heavy heart as he spoke indistinctly, “I Mason can’t afford to lose this game. I have to come out Victorious and bring all my allies down.” he nodded his head and stormed out of the place.Lucas stood at the front of the exit door as he contemplated the terms and conditions given to him by Alex. He held onto the door knob ready to step out but he dropped his hands and responded to Alex, “Promise me you won’t sign the contract.”Alex gave him a cold response by just e

    Lucas gave a deep silence looking into the detective eyes who were eager to hear a response from him. She started into his eyes as if she was seeing his response into his eyeballs. Lucas also stared back into her eyes without a blink at all. "Sir Lucas, are you still here?" She snapped her fingers on his face. Lucas blinked his eyes and came back to his consciousness, "Yes! I'm right here with you.""But, you didn't say anything to me at all. Are you thinking about it? Is it really bothering you so bad?" She looked at him with so much empathy. "I don't want to see Alex in that state anymore. He deserves the best and I'm trying so hard to make sure he leaves the prison yard." he poured out his distress to her. The detective gave him a side look and chuckled a bit, "Sir Lucas, you don't have to show so much love to someone that doesn't even value you that much. Didn't you see the way he raised his voice at you? If I didn't intervene at that time he would have done something worse.""

    Anna's mum looked at her and shook her head seeing the way James was behaving in the ward. He wasn't even bothered that his lady wasn't feeling too well before going ahead to cause a scene in the hospital. "What are you still doing here? I've made it clear to you over time that I don't want to see you at all. Do you want me to call the security on you before you excuse yourself?""Are you crazy at all? It seems like you've lost it all of a sudden." Anna's mum stood up from where she sat beside her daughter and pointed her fingers on his face. "How dare you stop me from seeing my daughter? Wasn't she living with me before she had a thing to do with you?""I'm glad you said it from your mouth that she has a thing to do with me because Anna is now mine."She scoffed at him, "You wish? As much as I want the best for my daughter with the way you are going with this crazy character of yours then there is a high tendency that your relationship with my daughter might end up going south."An

    Jason pulled him back after receiving the warm embrace that was presented to him by Mason, “Are you sure you are fine? Are you sure nothing happened to you?” He touched all the body of Mason to be sure nothing happened to him. “I'm doing okay, man. It feels so good to see you, Jason. I thought you wouldn't show up right here with me.” he hugged him one more time before relaxing the tightness of his body. “No way! Mason, there is no way I won't show up right here after everything I heard on that call. I'm more than excited to see that you are safe.” A warm smile erupted on his face,“Thank you, Jason. But, how were you able to locate my father's house I know that I've never for once brought you here before.”Jason smiled back at Mason and shook his head back and forth in agreement with what he said, “Well, I and Precious traced you one time when you left the office abruptly and that's how I was able to locate your father's mansion.”“What is happening over there?

  • Justice Must Be Served

    “This isn’t real!” Lucas was stunned as he heard the loud sound of the gun the moment the senior officer fired it directly at Alex.“I hope nothing happened to Alex.” James leaned closer to Lucas using him as a means to find his strength as he couldn’t get over the fact that a bullet just went through Alex's back.“Pick him up!” The senior officer yelled at the other officer standing close to where Alex lay on the floor.The young officer nodded his head in affirmation and without wasting much time pulled Alex up with his back being covered with blood as if he was drowning in a pool of blood.“What should I do to him, Sir?” the officer asked, looking bothered while waiting for the commander to give him a command so he could follow his lead.“Take him to the ambulance and have him handcuffed.” He darted his face over to Lucas and James who were shivering from the way they kept on leaning on each other.“I want you both to stretch forth your hands without any fuss.” His eyes were on the

    Aunty Margaret groaned in pain as she lay on Andrew’s body trying so hard to protect him from getting hurt and being attacked by his oppressors. “Dad, are you okay? Aunty Margaret, can..can..you hear me?” Mason's eyes were gradually getting heavy with the tears he had been hoarding for far too long.Andrew managed to shove himself off Maragraet’s body while she was still lying on him, “Margaret, can you hear me at all?” He managed to ask with his weak voice.“I need to be taken to the hospital as soon as possible. My leg feels heavy and I…can’t..feel..myself anymore.” She poured out her words in pain with her hands still holding the tip of her leg groaning out in loud pain of discomfort.“Fuck!” Mason gradually stood up from the floor and placed Aunty Margaret’s head over his Dad’s lap.He ran over as fast as his legs could carry him the moment his eyes caught Naomi as she was trying to plot her escape amidst the officers that were being surrounded in the room. Mason jumped over the

  • A Bullet For Him

    “What!!!” The gun that Alex had on his hands dropped to the floor in agitation. “Any words or actions you say or do will be used against you in the court of law. I want you to surrender yourself and walk through the door,” the senior officer said aloud.The security officers stayed in circles as they surrounded every corner of the living room, while some of the armed men stayed outside the mansion, protecting the wall corner so no one would escape. The loud sound of their siren echoed through the estate and some of the neighborhoods were curious to know what was happening behind closed doors. “But, we didn't do anything at all, Officer. You can't just bump into us and ask that we surrender to you.”James attacked the officer without feeling any remorse for his actions. The other officer cocked out his gun still putting on a straight face, “Young man, don't force me to pull this trigger on you. You heard what he said, right? So just do it and stop wasting our precious time.”“I'm so

  • You Are Under Arrest

    Everyone in the room was startled the moment they heard the old cracky voice coming from behind. Both James who was about to pull the trigger on Mason and Lucas who was charging James up to pull the trigger slowly turned their head to see where the voices were coming from. “Yes! You heard what I said and the earlier you drop, down the gun and surrender yourself to the police the better for everyone.” Aunty Margaret's hands were shaking as she placed the phone right to their faces still maintaining a long distance away from them. “Who the hell are you? And, what exactly are you doing in here?” Alex faced her a dead stare walking closer to her with every pang of anger. “That shouldn't be the question you are many to ask at this crucial hour, Alex. You have less than five minutes to surrender yourself to the police unless..”“Unless what? You guys can't do anything at all. All that you all are known for is to keep on making empty promises and threats.” James gawked at her without any

  • Pull The Trigger

    “Why are you still raising an alarm? Common! Take my life, Alex.” Mason was bold enough to give him a swift response without feeling an iota of fear in him. He was ready to take the bull by the horns and face him one-on-one without feeling scared of how it would feel once he pulls the trigger. “I can see that you've grown so many balls, Mason.”Alex placed the pistol on his temple and kept on hitting it on his temple repeatedly.“Do your worst, Alex. You can't do anything to me just pull the trigger and let's end it once and for all.” He yelled at him with his heart panting and racing so fast. “I love the way you have so much balls in you.” He smiled at him and jerked him off his shoulder. “I don't give a fuck about you Alex. Do your worst and let's end it once and for all.”“Alex, why the hell are you trying to pity this bastard? Pull the trigger and let's get ourselves out of this place once and for all.” Lucas commanded him instructing him to take the lead. “Okay, boss. I'll do

  • Name Your Price

    Alex patiently waited for Andrew to say a word but the young man was still bold and courageous that he didn't even bother to flinch or utter anything at all. “I can see that you've grown so big that you are no longer scared about your life anymore.” Alex out of annoyance tightened his neck so hard. “You..can’t…do.. anything..to me.” He struggled to say a word but kept on persisting as he stuttered with his words. “Is this how stubborn you are? I can see that you are just as stubborn as your son.” Lucas moved over to where Alex stayed beside Andrew still holding onto the pistol. “Poor Mason! Won't you tell your father not to be stubborn and say his final words of prayer? You can see that I've been lenient to you and your dad.” He moved his face closer to him. A roar of laughter came out of Mason's mouth after hearing the words gradually coming out of Lucas's mouth. The loud laughter triggered Lucas to stand up from his squatted position and angrily grabbed Mason's neck so tight t

  • Say Your Last Word.

    “What!” Lucas and Alex chorused together with shock all over their faces after hearing the truth coming out of her mouth. Mason waved his head over to his dad with a thousand and one question going through his mind, “Dad, can you hear what this young lady is saying? Is she truly my mother?”“Mason, you don't have to listen to everything that she is saying. Naomi is a blatant liar and I'm certain the major reason why she is in here is to cause destruction.” Andrew shoved his chair trying to come closer to where his son sat. “Really? Is that what you've been feeding my son with, Andrew?” She kicked her leg on his chair with anger gracing her voice. “How dare you lie to his face, Andrew? Why didn't you tell him that I've been there for you through thick and thin? Why are you causing so much harm and pain to this young boy?”“Pain?” Andrew chuckled out in euphoria. “If anyone should be talking about pain it should be me and not your stupid ass, Andrew.” She blurted out at him. “Dad,

  • He Is My Son

    The room suddenly went cold as everyone threw their gaze on the young lady whom Andrew had addressed as Naomi. The poor aged man cleaned his eyes by blinking it twice since his hands had been tied to the chair while rying to be sure that he wasn't dreaming at all. “Naomi, is that you? Are you the one?” He gave her this shocking expression while still trying to fight what he had just witnessed. “Dad, do you know her? Where do you know her from?” Mason blinked his eyes trying to understand the reason why his father was shocked to see the fair young lady standing at the entrance of the door without saying anything. "The last time I checked, Dad. I haven't seen you with a lady so who is she to you." he pressed further to know more. “Will you shut up your mouth, Mason?” Alex smacked his lips with his back hands instructing him to keep shut. Mason closed his eyes in regret, waiting and hoping for the time he would be free from this chair so he would be able to show Alex the type of man
