What do you think of this chapter? Thank you all for reading my book it means so much to me.
Rachael licked her lips seductively and responded to him, “Of course, I don't mind showing you the way at all.” She led him straight up to the elevator that would take them to James' office. Lucas kept looking at her with his wide eyes while she also kept looking at him with her side eyes as they waited patiently for the elevator to finally reach the third floor. Ping! Ping! The sound of the elevator was made and they both made their way out. “I'll stop here for now and only point to the same place where you can get to his office,” Rachael said to him with a slight smile heavy on her face. “You don't have to stop here at all, Racheal.” Lucas pulled back her hands from going. “Why do you want me to continue the journey with you? I'm only a secretary for this company and I believe you know your way around here. As you can see that's his office door over there.” She removed her hands gently from his grip. Lucas braced up and adjusted himself properly, “I know you are kind of
Racheal pushed him backward with her middle finger, “Lucas, do you know what you are asking from me is a little bit huge and I don't think I'll be able to give you an answer right now?” “Racheal, I know it's a bit huge for you to provide answer for me but I know that you are very confident, and when it comes to providing an answer you'll do a great job to that.” Racheal sniffed in some air while trying to be calculative with her words, “Are you sure you want to hear my answer right now?” She glanced at him trying to pick up his reactions. “Yes! I want to know what your response would be before I find my way into James' office.” he adjusted his suit with his mouth moving slowly as he said a word of prayer. Racheal Cat walked to where he stood leaned closer to his ears and responded to his request, “Where will the venue be because this lady is ready to make just happen?” James didn't believe what he just heard from her mouth. He dipped his hands into his ears to clean his ears on
Lucas braced up and breathed in some fresh air before knocking on the door right in front of him. Knock! Knock!“You can come in whoever is at the door.” A deep masculine voice responded behind the door. Lucas waited for some minutes without pushing the door open just as how James had commanded him to come inside. “I said you can come inside. I don’t have any private meetings going on right now. So, at least feel free to come inside just as how I’ve instructed you to open the door.” James addressed the person behind the door with a harsh voice and this time around he was serious. Lucas hearing the tone of James' voice pushed the door and exclaimed, “ Surprise!” his hand was thrown up into the air waiting for a hug from his long-time friend. James picked up the file he had kept on his desk earlier on and flanged it on Lucas's face in anger, “How dare you do such a grievous thing to me, Lucas?” “What excatly are you talking about, James?” Lucas held onto his face so tight. “You st
“Fuck! I knew that Alex was a competent fool but I just didn’t want to agree with my instinct at all.” Lucas blamed himself for his mistakes. “Now, take a look at where your foolishness has landed you, Lucas?” “James, I had no idea that it would result in this at all. I thought Alex was competent enough to deliver and believing that he works for him made me believe him that he will definently execute the task.” James crossed his legs and listened to him as he was speaking, “As you believed in him and his competence. Have you seen where it landed you?” he eyed him. “James, I know that I have fucked up big time, and here is the time that I need you right now.” “You can’t be serious at all, Lucas. I wasn't there when you strategically planned everything with your Mr.Alex so how come you suddenly need my help all of a sudden.” “James I know that you are smart enough when it comes to dealing with issues like this and I can boldly beat my chest to say that you have a solution to this
“Huh? Did you say anything at all to me?” He blinked his eyes as he spoke to her. “Wow! From your actions, I can tell you are not interested in the little conversation I'm trying to make with you.” “Not at all, Precious. How would you say something like that? I'm interested in everything you have in store for me to hear.” “Really?” Mason nodded his head affirmatively, “Yes! I'm ready to have more conversations with you.” She stared into his eyes with a side eye, “But, why were you lost in your thoughts?” “I was only thinking of the meeting we are going to have in there and how we are going to make it work out.” He lied to her without moving a blink in his eyes. “Are you sure Mason? I can't see the conviction in your eyes at all. You are making me feel as if I'm the one forcing you to do this with me.” Mason paused for a while and turned to her, “I'm not forcing you at all, Precious. You are just overthinking things and the more time you work with the present the better for yo
“What you heard me say is the truth and I know that you are being pained right now, Louisa?”“You must be foolish to think that I’ll be pained for saying something as foolish and unreasonable as that.” she jerked him off with her shoulder.“Why then are you so pained that I got to tell you the truth in your face?”She pointed her finger on his face, “Jason, mind your business and learn how to stay far away from me.”“And, what if I don't stay away from you? What will you do to me?”“I hope you know that I don't like talking too much at all, Jason.” She took three steps backward from where he stood. “That's not an excuse for your stupidity, Louisa. You just keep fooling yourself around that you know exactly what you are doing. But, do you want to know the truth?”She looked at him from his head down to the toe, “Do you think I'll ask someone like you who hasn't had a perfect three square meal to tell me the truth? One thing about you is that, Jason you think you are someone of importa
Mason and Precious hurried straight up to where Jason and Louisa stayed. Mason seeing that Jason's eyes were almost half dead quickly rushed over to where Louisa stood and pushed her away. Jason fell on the floor with his eyes half closed while he tried his best to catch up with his breath. “Precious, go get him water before he passes out,” Mason ordered her immediately while pinning Louisa on the floor. “Will you get your stinky self out of my body? Aren't you ashamed of yourself?” She struggled to let him stand up from her body. “You should be the one ashamed of yourself, Louisa. Why do you keep bullying people every time? Do you think you are the only one that has the power to control everyone in this company?” “See, who is talking? Why would a shameless girl like me be ashamed of myself you rascal? Will you get up from my body or are you trying to seduce me to fall for you?” The moment Mason heard the words seduce he stood up from her body, “Now, I can see that you are
Louisa wasn't happy with what just happened between her and Precious. She never believed that a day would come when precious would take that bold step to ridicule her in the presence of anyone. So, she rushed to where Precious had gone and pulled her back into the office room. “What the hell has gotten into you, Louisa? Why can't you allow me just to be instead of you running after me at every given opportunity you got?” Precious cried out to her. Louisa leaned closer to her and licked her lips slowly before responding to her, “There is nothing wrong with me at all. You should be the one asking yourself that stupid question you just asked me.” “I think I'm done with having this conversation with you and as you can see it's almost time for the meeting so I don't mind leaving here so that I can go ahead to prepare for the meeting coming up anytime soon.” Louisa chuckled at the sound of Precious's voice, “If at all you want to go for the meeting in a prepared state I'll advise you
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? Mason, who are you
“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
“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
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
“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
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
“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,
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
