James smirked at him and shook his head in pity,” I don't want to mess up your face young man. The only thing I’m asking from you is to mind your business and stay away from my shit.” he responded to him pushing him to the other side with his left hand.The bar attendant ignored him and stood right in front of him with a straight face, “I won’t back out from this place even though I know that it’s none of my business. But, I won’t stand here and watch you lay a finger on her or move her from this place against her will.” he pushed him back poking his little finger on his chest.James flared up and forcefully threw the guy’s finger off his chest.“I don’t blame you at all for your actions but if there is someone in this room that I can lay my fingers on to blame is going to be you, Anna.” he vented with full force and tried reaching out to Anna to drag her down to the car but he got blocked by the bar attendant.“Mr. James, in case you’ve forgotten so easily violence is not tolerated an
Knock! Knock!Mason’s hands shivered as he slowly knocked on his father’s door in fear.Andrew who was inside the room ignored the sound of the knock and didn't give him a positive response as to whether he was permitted to enter or not.“Dad, Are you in there?” He knocked for the third time and this time around it was accompanied by a question.Andrew stood up from the bed where he had sat on earlier and reached out to the door pulling it with his outstretched neck outside, “Have you gotten your right senses back? I thought you didn't want to talk to me before.” he closed the door behind and left him there heading over to his bed space.Mason exhaled slowly and opened the door following his dad's steps until he got to his bed space. “Dad, I knew I messed I big time and I’m here to admit my faults as well to you but at the same time…”Andrew didn't even give him a breathing space to continue his words before he interrupted him, “What other excuses do you want to give this time around
The sound of the car engine was turned off as it came to a halt. The driver peeped outside through the window seeking if it was actually what he saw in the pictures they sent to him that he came to. After confirming from his phone screen what he saw through the window, he nodded and turned his back to inform his boss. “Sir, we've arrived at the spot. Based on the information given to me and gathered from your spies, this is where Micheal came last and I'm one certain he is still in there.”“How sure are you?” Lucas raised his eyebrows at him still glancing at the big restaurant where his car was parked. “I don't want to say that I'm one hundred percent sure because I haven't confirmed yet but I can beat my chest and attest to the fact that he is in there because your spies have never for once given me untrue information.” he bowed down his head and responded to him. “Okay! If that's the case I'll take it up from there. But, make sure you stick around because I might end up not wa
James burst out in a sinister laugh with his widespread hands, “Now, you can come back to me. I thought you wanted to be part of his good books.”Anna ignored him and kept walking towards where her car was parked as she reminisced of the words and the way the barman spoke to her. “Have you suddenly gone deaf?” James pulled her backward spinning her in a three-sixty degree. Anna sobbed in silence still ignoring the fact that James was talking to her. “Anna! Anna! Can't you hear me?” He tapped her continuously on her shoulders waiting for her to provide an answer to him. “What exactly do you want from me? What bad haven't you done to me, James? Why can't you let me breathe for a little while?” she gave the gun a heavy blow on his chest with her hands hitting him on his chest so hard simultaneously. James struggled to stand on his feet as he held back the hands of Anna. “What had gotten into you, Anna? Have you suddenly lost it all? Is your sanity still intact at all?” He held her
“Do you want me to open up to you right here?” Lucas gave him his side eyes as he signaled to him that customers were around them. “You can start by opening up to me here. Or, do you have any other suitable place where we can go and discuss?” He raised his eyebrow waiting for him to give him a defined response. “Well, I guess there should be a nice place where we can both hang out. I don't know much about this city but I'm sure there is a place where people can chat and chat.”“Are you referring to something like a cafe?” Micheal suggested that he be sure of what he was trying to pinpoint from his last statement. “Exactly! You know what I'm talking about.” Lucas nodded his head affirmatively. “Uhmmm…. I think there should be one around this place but I don't know if I'm certain about it. Do you have any idea where we can get a cafe around this place?”Lucas glared at him, “No, I haven't lived in this place before nor am I familiar with the way they do their things. I only came her
Pim! Pim! The loud horn of James' car woke his security guard from his deep sleep as he rushed towards the gate and opened it without any further delay. “Welcome back sir!” He threw his hands in salutation with his sleepy eyes as he struggled to close back the gate. James waved back at him and drove down to the car park where his car was being parked before he hopped down. The security guard looked at his wristwatch and said, “What could have made them go out and return by this time of the day? Something isn't adding up here but who am I to do the maths.” he shut the door and stood at his security post waiting for James and Anna to enter into the apartment before he finds his way inside his own space. “Won't you come and assist me with the bag?” James called the security guard out as he struggled with Anna's staggering. “I'm sorry about that sir. The bag is right here with me. Where do you want me to keep it?” The guard hurried up to pick up the bag from the seat while waiting f
“I want to make sure he goes down just the same way he brought me down. Mason has to pay with his blood, sweat, and tears just as I paid mine to him.” He broke down in fake tears. “Hey! You don't have to cry about it, man. You have me here and it's all that matters. Brace up and stop acting like a weakling.” Micheal gave him his little word of advice. “Why won't I cry, Micheal? This little brat named Mason ruined everything that I have. He made me lose all my properties and companies. Now, I'm just an empty man wandering in the midst of nowhere.” He removed his white handkerchief from his pocket and dried his face up. Micheal stood up from where he sat down and went over to where Lucas stayed to place his hands on his shoulders while he succumbed to him in solitude. “Don't worry as long as you are ready to take the lead you have my full guarantee. You don't have to cry over that mini-loser. I'm sure he is not aware of all of this so he won't even know once you attack him back.”
“I barely have any words to say about the deeds that Mason has caused me. At first, I thought he was a good person but as time flew I realized that he is nothing but a lunatic.” Micheal poured out all his anger as the thoughts of Mason crossed his mind. “Can you imagine? That guy needs to be taught a lesson that he will never forget in his next life. He ruins people's lives and he thinks his own won't get ruined he must be a joker for thinking that way.” Lucas backed up his words with a little more spin to add to it. “It's crazy how he does his things and acts like a gentleman. Whereas people fail to see that he is just trying to disguise himself before he tames his cats.”“Man! You are using the right words to describe Mason and that could only mean one thing.”“What?” Micheal asked out of curiosity. “That could mean that you've been waiting for a day like this would come when you can see someone who has the same intent when it comes to bringing Mason down.”Micheal gave a light la
