Henry held his breath as the man took time to answer. He stared at Henry’s hand and the paper, which indicated Elena was his.

“Nah” he grinned widely. At that time, Henry’s heart sank. He didn’t know what he was going to do next if he wasn’t able to take Elena home. Before they took her away, her eyes widened as they stared at each other. It was then he was really sure, that was Elena.

He was about to beg when the man began to speak. “ I will take the cash. No woman can give me such in one night. He placed the paper in a Henry’s hands, and Henry placed the 50,000 dollars in his. The man Smiled and Henry noticed his golden tooth for the first time. He walked away after shaking hands with Henry.

“it was nice doing business with you” he said.

“Henry what have you done? What will you tell the president?” Ruby asked, worry etched all over her face.

Henry folded the paper and put it in his pocket. “ please just trust me. I will explain later”

    Elena’s POVI woke up in a jolt. I turned around to find Henry sleeping on the floor. I figured the girl named Ruby must be sleeping in the sitting room. As if on cue, Henry woke up. He locked eyes with me and I smiled. I patted the bed beside me. Henry climbed into the bed. I ran into his arms and snuggled.“What’s on your mind?” I asked Henry . “Be honest.” I saw the look of lust in his eyes as he looked at me. I needed to be sure before I made a move.“Honestly, I’m thinking of kissing you,” Henry said. “ do you want that too?” he asked. I nodded with a smile.That was enough. I closed the gap between us and I met his lips with mine. My lips were soft and gentle but he pressed against them insistently. He was going for more and I didn’t mind. His body pressed against mine as we continued our kiss. Our lips parted for long seconds and I saw that he wanted more. This kiss wasn’t over yet and I wanted him to know it. It wasn’t my intention to make love to him tonight though. We’d

    Henry stirred up in the morning. He stretched lazily like a cat. He tried to roll to the other side of the bed but then he felt something or rather someone. He opened his eyes to see a brown haired girl in bed with him. His heart raced Did I carry some girl home after the club? Or worse is this Ruby?!Then he remembered that ruby had dyed her hair purple recently to conceal her identity. Then slowly moved closer and caught the scent. Immediately he smiled and everything began to fall in place in his head.He mentally slapped himself for not recalling that it’s Elena. He moved closer to her and whispered into her ears.“Wake up sleepy head?” he muttered. Elena’s face transformed into a big smile.“I am awake dummy” her eyes opened. Henry leaned and gave her a kiss. She snuggled closer and they shared an Eskimo kiss. Suddenly Elena stopped smiling. Henry wondered what the problem could be.“We need to talk” Elena sat up in bed. *********Livid was a kind word compared to how Henry fe

    Back at home, there was a dirty rumor going on. Henry had gotten just the Informant, on the new job with the president. Some of the boys in the group said, Henry didn’t want to include them because he was greedy. He wanted the favors of the president just for him. They said being the sole owner of everything Luther owned was not enough. Even his biological daughter didn’t get anything. Jackson being the second commander fought hard against all this. He warned them not stop talking nonsense but the last call he had with Henry was making their accusations seem true. He told Marcus about it. Marcus told him not to think of it. Maybe henry was too stressed, so he lashed out on him. Jackson decided not to think much about it. Though he couldn’t stop. Henry had never spoken like that to him. Something must be wrong. He decided to not think much about it. He decided to take a shower and prepare for bed.He picked up his phone to check the time, and a call came in. “Hello”“Hello bro” Jack

    Ruby tried to make the bank, send in the Russian currency into her account but they were adamant with their strict policies. She got back to the hotel and slumped into the chair.“What did they say?” Henry asked.“They said you have to wait for the next 30 days” Ruby sighed.“We don’t have that much time.” Elena added. Ruby nodded.“Yeah even though, they postponed the Auction, we still don’t have that much time” Ruby added. Henry flopped down on the chair close by. He ran his hand through his hair. He had never been this frustrated and out of options. He didn’t know what to do. He couldn’t collect more money from the president. That would scream theft and the president was not dumb. He would put X before Y and find out the truth. The president was their only ally and the most important. Ruby had suggested Jackson but he turned it down, before she spoke some more. By now she might be guessing, that all was not well. Henry let her keep guessing. Henry began to go through his contac

    Lucas’s POVI stretched lazily like a cat as my eyes fluttered open. Sunlight flittered through the window and I squinted. I looked up. White ceiling. Black spiral carvings on the wall. Carved painstakingly too. The curtains were a deep shade of purple but Lilac at the tip. Money was beautiful. People should be able to do anything to get it. I turned to get a full view of the drawing, when my hands brushed across something soft from beside me. I sat up and got a full view. There was a woman sprawled on my bed, beside me. Her back was turned to me. She was pale skinned and had pretty brown hair. Brunettes. I was a sucker for them. Oh I remember her now. I gazed at her, racking my head. Okay I don’t.

Has be been telling you about anything since he left? Can’t you see that you doesn’t want you to be part of the squad”Jackson blinked. He re-read the message for understanding. And twice he did, twice he understood what it meant. He checked the number and couldn’t recognize the number. He tried to know the know the details and name of the number but the detail section was blank.He hissed and began to walk. He was tired of all these. He wounded why all this was going on.
