Fredrick wiped his mouth with the edge of his palms. He had just learned from one of his lawyers that there was no way out. It was either he takes the offer Mike was delivering or he ends up in court and with the evidence the Alcantaras had against him and Dory, their chances of winning were zero.

“I learned that the FBI is on your radar.” Mike spat. He was facing the helpless Fredrick. “I heard that it has something to do with drug smuggling,” Mike added.

Fredrick’s brows were furrowing in rage.

“First, it was your son hitting a helpless girl then one of your companies gets shut down because of some suspected drug dealing initiative and now, you are conspiring to steal Phoenix.” Mike asserted.

The murmurs in the board room transcended to noise. Fredrick knew they were talking about him. He stood up and aimed for the exit in his fit of rage.

“You should be lucky that we didn’t report you to the authorities Fredrick. Courtesy of the Alcantaras book of Mercy.” Mike screamed at Fre

    “You want to make me chief secretary?” Elaine stuttered with stars in her eyes. “This is unbelievable!”“Well, based on the recommendation I received from Nathan Smith, I’m confident that you are fit for the job.” He told her. “Congratulations Elaine.” He added. Elaine sprung out of the chair in excitement covering her mouth with her hands. When Nathan made her the manager of the surveillance unit before he resumed school, Elaine had felt lucky but now, she was feeling on top of the world. The thought of taking over Dory’s post was placing her on a roller coaster of emotions.“You are also at liberty to nominate your replacement at the surveillance unit before you take over. Just send the person to Mike ASAP for assessment.” Nathan maintained. “I think I need to go out and scream.” She said and rushed out giggling like a broken musical box. Nathan broke into a dry laugh and shook his head. Mike was about to enter Nathan’s office when he bumped into an excited Elaine sprinting

    Dory got to the reception and noticed a box parked with her items. With her face fixated on the floor, she moved to the counter and swept the carton from the desk. Rose and the other employees were whispering about Dory’s mischief because word has already gone around the company about the act. Dory felt the eyes of the employees like knives on her body. She pressed the box to herself and strode to the parking lot with her head lowered. At the parking lot, she came in contact with a few employees talking in low tunes and immediately after they caught a glimpse of her, they dispersed. With a sigh, Dory threw her box into the back seat of her car. She then got into her vehicle and drove away, leaving Phoenix for good. A few minutes after Dory hit the road, she broke into tears. Her eyes were starting to hurt and soon, she couldn’t see the straight path in front of her. The road ahead had turned hazy so the broken Dory pulled over to a safe path. She fell on her speedometer and brok

    “Got it!” Jackson said and hung up. He turned to Nathan. “We are being trailed.”Nathan sat up and tried to stick his head out in his bid to catch a glimpse at the vehicles following him but Jackson quickly prevented him from looking out.“Don’t look out boss. You must be on guard. Who knows whether they are armed and might start shooting any moment from now.” Jackson said and passed one of the bulletproof vests to Nathan.“Raise all the reflectors, Larry,” Nathan instructed.Larry quickly swung into action while Nathan began to put on the vest.Jackson also wore the vest. He grabbed his security phone and placed a call to Don. “We are on bulletproof vests.”“Good. Take the lead. We’ll initiate a cover-up act.” Don instructed.Jackson didn’t hang up the phone. He turned to Larry. “I need you to go in front. Drive past the Range Rover at full speed.”Larry exhaled.“You can do this.” Nathan encouraged him.Larry stepped on the wheels and drove past the first escort vehicle which had lo

    Nathan stood up after the vans drove past the shrubs. It was already getting dark and the road was getting deserted. He identified a lemon tree and hurried toward it. He rested his back against the tree and groaned. “Shit!”He wiped his sweaty forehead with the edge of his palm and noticed the bruise on his elbow. Nathan sighed. His phone began to ring from his jacket. It was at that point that Nathan remembered stuffing the phone inside his vest a while ago. He quickly responded to the call. “Where are you, young master? Are you hurt?” Mike flung questions at him. “Jackson asked me to roll out,” Nathan replied and began to step out of the shrubs. He noticed a signpost. “I’m at Melvin junction. I’m alone.”“Stay there and don't move an inch. I’m on my way with backup. We’ll be there soon.”Mike replied and hung up. Nathan stood beside the signpost. He stared at his Gucci shoes. They had traces of clay and his outfit was stained with clay and mist. He pulled out his handkerchi

    Dr. Lance walked up to Nathan. “You shouldn’t have turned up here Alex. You should be at home.”Nathan cleared his throat loudly. “I commit this group and this commitment was what lead me here. I don’t want to fail in my responsibilities.”“Well, you can only fulfill your responsibilities to the club when you are safe. Right now, you need to leave and get some rest.” Mr. Wells said. The audience agreed with the committee and were soon hurrying toward Nathan to check up on their president. They formed a circle around him. “Are you okay Mr. President?”“Did you get hurt?” asked a second voice. The ladies were all over him. Amidst the group hurrying to the podium to check up on Nathan, Kelvin turned left and exited the hall. When he strode out, he called his father several times but Fredrick wasn’t responding to his call.

    “Come in,” Nathan responded from the inside. Mike pushed the door open and walked into Nathan’s room. Nathan had just finished taking dinner and was back to his camber. He was about to change into his pajamas when Mike arrived. “Are you good?” Mike demanded after tracing his way into Nathan’s bedroom. “I’m good. I just had a few scratches but I treated them using the first aid kit in my closet.” Nathan replied and sat by the edge of his bed. “I can call the doctor to come and check up on you. You’ll be needing a couple of analgesics too.”Nathan chuckled. “Don’t worry, Uncle Mike. I’m doing good. The training I’ve been carrying out in the gym was quite handy. I’m fit.” He maintained. Mike smiled. “I’m glad you are doing okay. I just wanted to let you know that I’ve reinforced more guards at the house. They’ll take the empty rooms at the quarters and for now, I don’t think it’s safe for you to go back to your rented apartment.”“Okay.”“Scarface and a couple of other guards wil

    Avery was dumbfounded when she realized that the Rolls Royce was heading in her direction and at that point, she was more convinced that Nathan was in the vehicle. Her driver trailed the vehicle down to the first gate on campus. While they were approaching the gate, Avery turned to her driver. “Slow down!”Her driver reduced the intensity of the speed. All the reflectors of her car were down so Avery was having a clear glimpse of the Rolls Royce in motion. From her chosen spot, she saw Larry step out of the vehicle and a few moments later, Nathan alighted from the front seat. Meanwhile, Larry had wanted to get the door for Nathan but he turned down the offer, asserting that Larry could only do so on special occasions when he was being Alex. “W…what?” she exclaimed and turned to her driver. “Quicky, drive to the gate.”Her driver wheeled the car to the gate and pulled it to a halt. Avery quickly stepped out and hurried toward Nathan who was trading his way inside the campus. Av

    Steve pulled the car to a halt in front of the airport building. Nathan turned to Avery with a smile. “You still want to do this?” He asked with his hand stretched out toward her. She took his hand into hers. “More than anything in the world. I’ve been running around for years and I never told you this but the main reason why I came back to Rockville was to make peace with your soul and then build my brand from scratch now that you’re here, I just want to spend as much time with you as possible, away from the whole chaos and drama. Just the two of us.” Nathan planted a kiss on her forehead. “Thank you so much, Avery.”She smiled. “I’m excited. It’s going to be my first time in Russia and I just can’t wait to explore the city with the love of my life.”Steve cleared his throat loudly. “Looks like I also need to find the love of my life and take her to Russia.”They laughed.Suddenly, Nathan’s phone began to ring. He heaved a deep sigh and turned to Avery. “It’s Charles.”“It’s over.”

    Morgan turned to his bodyguards who had been inside the lounge with him all this while. “Call for reinforcements. We’ve been tricked.”Derrick darted Morgan’s attention toward the chip on the table. “It’s a camouflage. It’s all programming shit.” He said and began to take off his jacket. Morgan was already sweating profusely. “I must find the real Alex. I need to kill that bastard today.”“Are you even serious?” Derrick cried out. “We are in a mess. That chip proved that this whole session was recorded.” He took his head into his hands. “I should have listened to Kelvin. This was a bad idea and now, we’re doomed. I’m not even sure if we’re the only ones in this building right now.”“I reserved the whole damn building and apart from the staff, there’s no damn customer here.” Morgan retorted and threw his gun on the floor. “My backup team will be here any moment from now and we’ll get the hell out of here. As for that recording chip, I don’t care about what’s in it or who had access t

    “Now that your girlfriend is safe and out of the picture, let’s talk business,” Morgan said to Nathan’s camouflage who was sitting before him and Derrick. Both men had no idea that the man sitting in front of them was a product of science programmed to function like Alexander Alcantara with a chip buried in his head. The camouflage was programmed to follow Cole’s instructions and ever since he walked into the longue, his words and actions were being directed by Coke from outside. “Why did you kill my parents?” The camouflage asked Morgan. Morgan broke into a laugh. “Seriously? Do you think I have time for this? Do you want me to respond to your stupid questions? You’re doing this to buy time right?”“Isn’t it obvious that you have me under your mercy? If you are going to take me out then at least I deserve the chance to know why you killed everyone in my family.” Nathan replied. “For my brother’s sake.” Morgan quickly replied. “You killed Corrigan, the only person in the world wh

    Nathan stretched his hand toward Avery and held her hand tightly. “You’ll be fine.” He mumbled to her lovingly. She nodded repeatedly.Derrick clenched his jaw and looked away while his bowels continued to heat up with rage. “You’re lying,” Morgan replied. “I gave you ten minutes to come here and according to my guards, you came alone so how did you get to rally troops and station them here?”Nathan chuckled. “I didn’t bring any troops from home. If you and your partner were smart enough, you’d know that this is the Grandiose Hotel and the Grandiose Hotel belongs to the Alcantaras.”Derrick and Morgan exchanged glances. “Shit!” Derrick cussed and rubbed his hair repeatedly. “It didn’t cross my mind.”Morgan frowned. “All I had to was give the manager a phone call before coming in. I told him that if four minutes pass by and Avery does not come walking through the door, he should tell the restaurant security squad to start firing.” Nathan said. Suddenly, Derrick snatched Morgan’s g

    The waitresses returned carrying food trays. They graciously placed it on the table. Morgan reached for the plate of steak and began to devour it like a hungry lion. Avery kept staring at her plate of pasta and meatballs. “Are you okay?” Derrick demanded. “Yeah.” She replied and looked up. “Don’t eat that.” Nathan’s voice came through the chip. She heaved a deep sigh because that was exactly what was on her mind. What if the food was poisoned? She kept thinking. Nathan continued speaking to her. “Leave your bag there and get up. Act normal and tell them you need to use the restroom then you head out.”“I think I need to pee,” Avery announced. Morgan stopped eating and dropped his plate immediately. “But you just got here?”“Yeah.” Derrick agreed with a nod. Avery faked a smile and quickly stood up. “I think I had a lot of water earlier and now, I need to pee. I’ll be back soon.” She said. She was about to turn around when Morgan spoke. “Excuse me?” Avery turned around lookin

    “You look as gorgeous as ever,” Nathan commented while Avery was tracing her way down the staircase. It was time to meet Derrick. He had already dropped the location and had called a while ago to say that he was on his way. Avery was wearing a short black floral dress with black sandals to match. Nathan had insisted that she apply makeup so that Derrick doesn’t sense her insecurity. “Are you sure about this?” Avery asked when she reached Nathan. Nathan took her face into his hands. “You’ll be fine. I promise you with my life.”She smiled. “If you say so.”“Remember, act normal and do as he says. Okay?”“Got it,” Avery replied and walked away. By the time she arrived at the restaurant, Derrick was already inside because he had texted her about three minutes ago that he had arrived. On her part, Avery had convinced him that their meeting was a secret because Nathan was not going to approve. She had taken a cab to get there. When Avery walked into the building, she was stunned by i

    “Welcome, bro. What can I offer you?” Nathan demanded the moment Kelvin walked into his living room. Kelvin marched in and didn’t even look at the couch Nathan was presenting to him. “I don’t think I can sit.”“You look restless. What’s the matter?”Kelvin sighed and faced Nathan. “It’s Derrick. He had been in my place for the past three days and he’s been looking like shit.”“Did you ask you to come here and convince Avery to go back to me?” Nathan asked. He then raised an index finger. “Listen, tell Derrick that if I see him close to my woman, I’ll kill him so he should leave her alone.”“That’s not why I’m here.” Kelvin sharply replied. “Last night, he went on a rampage and drank several bottles of my wine and when I walked into him in my living room, he was half conscious and he said some things.”Nathan abruptly stood up. “What did he say?”“You and I both know that it’ll be difficult for a man like Derrick to change.” Said Kelvin. “It’s not like I’m condemning him.” He quickly

    “He’s coming out shortly,” Daniel reported and sat with the rest of the team. That morning, Morgan’s allies stormed his mansion to talk about the tragic events that were unfolding. It was no news that his biggest warehouse was burnt to ashes. That evening, another one was looted and by midnight, Morgan got information that his security guards were attacked on their way back from the club and 6 perished while two were in a coma. Morgan made his way down the staircase, carrying the weight of his problems. However, he was sober and didn’t display any angry reaction. Perhaps, he was too beaten by the incidents that he had lost his will to react. His Allies looked upon him as he made his way toward them. The group consisted of his friends and partners who had helped him execute shady deals in the past. After he sat, Daniel stood up and cleared his throat loudly. “There is no denying that we all know who is behind the constant attacks. Without mincing words, I’d like to inform you all t

    It was Saturday morning and during the weekends, Morgan plays tennis with Daniel, his assistant. Daniel is no fan of table tennis and barely knows how to hold the bat but every Saturday and Sunday morning, he shows up dressed in shorts with his gears just to impress Morgan. Also, Morgan knew that his assistant was bad in the sport so it gave him an edge to defeat him completely all the time. This morning, Daniel was already seated by the court in Morgan’s house and was waiting for his boss to show up. Morgan had just stepped out of his room and was on his way toward the living room before heading out to your court when his phone began to ring. He frowned and didn’t pick up the call. Even though he was a workaholic, he had made it clear to his workers that none of them would disturb him with work matters except if it was an emergency. The call persisted and the warning bells in Morgan’s head began to ring. What if this particular call was a case of emergency?The call was coming fr
