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
“When will you be coming back to our base so that we can both hop on the game plan as soon as possible.” James teased him s bit with the eagerness to get feedback from him soon. “You will see me soon, my very good friend. I know you've missed me so much but you don't have to bother the reason I traveled down here has been fulfilled.”“I'm so proud of you and how you've been able to achieve this great feat of yours within a twinkle of an eye.” James giggled with excitement over the phone. “Now, you can see the reason why I love telling you stuff. You are always ready to make it work out for the benefit of us all. You are my number one gee for life and you will continue to be the number one.” Lucas showered him with praises. “I don't want to behave like a girl by saying that you are making me blush but the truth remains that my smile is heavy already for the joy and happiness you bring me.”“That's so cute to hear, James. We are on the right track for now and I can't wait to bring my
"I need to start going to work right now, Dad. You've given me a target already and I have to prove to you before it's too late that I will win your bet.” Mason picked up his car keys from the side table and started making his way to the down floor. “Will you be returning tonight? Or, your investigation will have a track load on you?” Andrew questioned him while tapping the keys on his keypad with so much attention. Mason roared in laughter, “Dad, I can't say for now but even though I end up not returning today you don't have to be sad at all not be all awake thinking about me because I have a place I call home.”Andrew closed his laptop and nodded his head after hearing the words of his son, “You've spoken like a true son of mine. Make sure you keep in touch with me so in case things go South I can always call my bodyguards to come pick you up.”“Thank you, Dad. Your act of service means so much time me but that doesn't mean that I have forgotten about the bet.” he climbed back to
Mason drove at a breakneck speed through the silence of the road. There was less traffic on the road and the busses were going at a low pace. Mason's mind was weighed with different thoughts of his earlier conversation with his father. He tried shrugging it off yet the thoughts kept crossing back his mind. “Where would have my dad found Micheal that he so much loves him as if his life depended on him?”He declined his thoughts and kept on speaking to his inner child, “Could this also be one of the tests that Andrew is using to test my smartness? I see no reason why I've brought him tangible evidence of what this supposed Micheal has done to loyal staffs and he is still not buying the idea.” he felt heartbroken as he remembered how his father treated him last night. Mason reached out to his playlist and started vibing to one of his favorite music just to clear the thoughts of what he had with his father. “It's just words, Mason. Don't let it get to you or distract you from digging
