And hell was definitely let loose in the city. Within the first two days that came after the attack on Luther, the vice president’s son was kidnapped. The vice president couldn’t say it out loud to the public. News like this could undermine the security of the country. People would begin to question if they were still safe in the country. If this got out to the media, people would begin to ask questions. Serious questions too.The young man was later seen but he had been tortured to the point of coma. The vice president was livid. From that day onwards, the city came under high security. Everything and anything was scrutinized. This time around the covering on some Mafia groups had been lifted. The vice president let them be caught and they were prosecuted. Henry knew that the attack was not from them. Luther did not order them to kidnap the vice president’s son. Even though he had reasons to. All Luther said was that, they should all be on alert. “ Everyone thinks you did it” sai
“Where are we going?” Laura saw as Henry took swift turn to the other side of the road. Henry’s fingers flexed on the steering while as he thought of a way to tell Laura what was happening. All trace of cheerfulness on his face was lost.“We are going home” he simply said. “Home? I thought we were just going to get coffee” her voice is a bit higher. Was that fear or anger? Henry couldn’t say which one. He glanced at her. “Put on your seat belt” he said. Laura shut him a glare even though she did as he had requested. She was stickler for rules.“Don’t panic I have to tell you something” he began. Henry was looking for a soft landing. He didn’t want to alarm her that her life could be in danger. Tom what he had gathered from his boys, he had that Laura was as stubborn as a mule. If he had told her that they were going to her father’s house, she would demand that he stop the car. Henry had taken some sort of oath of secrecy with Luther, during the last week. He couldn’t tell Laura the t
Damien was dead but no one knew. Yet. He bid goodbye to his partner Lukas and said he was going to stay some more at the apartment. Besides Henry had told them to come back. He had asked some other men to take over watching the house. Damien dropped Lukas off at the bus stop because he wanted to stay back. He didn’t tell Lukas that. He had a gut feeling about the men. He just couldn’t say what it was but something did not feel right.After sitting in the car and waiting for like 30 minutes, he decide to put his mind to rest. He got out of the car and walked to the car that belonged to one of their men. “I’ll just go up and take a look. Then I’ll leave” he said and the men nodded. Damien moved his hips on his waist. He felt for his gun but didn’t pull it out. He crossed over to the other side and looked sideways. There was no sign of incoming vehicle or human. The cost was clear. He put on his sunglasses and walked into the building. If he checked at the desk in front, because it was
“ We are here” Henry announced as he shut off the engine of the car. The journey to the mall took longer than expected. Henry has evaded the known routes like the one the mafias took if they were on a car chase. He followed the road where normal people followed. They passed by an office and he shared a smile with Laura, pretending to be her boyfriend. Laura hoy into character immediately. He did a double take on her as they drove past. It looked like she has done this before.She should have been an actress. Henry thought. He wanted to ask her more questions but he noticed that the scowl on her face had deepened. He immediately shut his mouth and focused on getting them to the mall.“Where are we?” Laura around in her seat and then she realized they were not really at the mall but she could see it’s sign across.“ we can’t go in.” Henry took out the car from the ignition.“ What do you mean—"suddenly Laura stopped. She closed her eyes for a moment and sighed deeply. She grabbed get b
“ So where did you learn that from?” Henry smiled whole heartedly. His first ever smile since all this started. They were in the car, going back home. “Learn what from?” Laura asked.“ That thing you did back there and the one with the police” Henry glanced at the fuel gauge. He made a mental note to fill it up at the first filling station he could see.Laura raised et eye brows as confusion marred her features. Then suddenly she understood what he was talking about.“Oh that” she tried not to smile but failed.“ Have you done it before no scratch that” Henry smiled. “ how long have you been able to act like you were somebody else with the people from your father”Laura smiled as if recalling something. “ since the first I became the adoptive daughter of Luther king”“ hmm” Henry’s smile deepened. “what?” Laura laughed punching him lightly.“ oh nothing…it’s nothing “ he feigned a straight face but then he couldn’t and grinned.“ Tell me” Laura whined like a little girl. Henry star
When Henry woke up, he knew that something was wrong. The whole room was quiet. No one was shouting like crazy. No one had banged on his door to wake him up. It was just bad quiet as a grave yard. The scene affected Henry. He couldn’t think straight.They didn’t come back? He wondered. He brushed his teeth and took a warm bath. Maybe that could make him feel better. He left his room and went to the main house. There Laura sat as she watched some TV.Immediately her eyes flew up and met his. She scowled. He raised an eyebrow in his head. He wondered what could be the problem. They were in a good mood yesterday so why was she mad at him.“Good morning “Henry said. Laura glared at him.“Good morning to you too “she said.He grabbed her and as she was about to leave. “I thought we were cool”She gasped as if she had been slapped in the face. “You can't be of horrible person and still have a very bad memory” she moved away from you and went to the dining table.Even with her outburst he st
Henry watched as Damien’s mother sat like a capital C at the morgue. She had been called to identify his body. Her head bent like a dying flower and her lips trembled. Just eyes were glossy and red. When she was called, she stood slowly and walked into the morgue.When he heard her let out a more guttural scream, he shut his eyes and sighed. He fought so hard not to cry. He was a man and tears were seen as a form of weakness. No one told him but he had observed that in the society.They escorted Damien mum out and she sat in the car still crying.“ Luther said we should prepare his funeral. He was going to fund it” Dex said. He showed no sign of remorse or care. He looked at Damien’s mother in the car and scowled. “ Damien’s not the first to die neither would be the last in our group “ then he walked out.Henry stood like he had been glued to the ground. He couldn’t believe what he just heard. Was that what’s the mafia was all about. You lose people easily and they are replaced immed
Laura woke up to find Henry still sleeping. He looked so different while he slept. His frown lines were not visible and he looked more handsome. She let her hands wonder around his face and then on his chest. She was about to lift the covers and go below when he grabbed his hand. “aren’t you sore?” Laura blushed red. She looked away. Henry slowly tilted her face to his.“don’t be shy” Henry planted a kiss on her lips. They went at it till it could no longer no longer he called a kiss or making out. When Henry tried to climb on top Laura she gently shoved him away. He looked into her eyes to know what he must be doing wrong.“its your turn” and so she slid down him. His length sprang up like it had been waiting. The next thing that could be heard was the sloppy sounds of his dick, going in and out her mouth. Henry leaned back and he resisted the urge to grab her, which also ended in moans and groans as they both found each other’s release.*****As Henry and Laura journeyed back to
The cold wind slapped Elena across the face as she set out for the event. She was on a mission. And if she wasn’t successful, she could kiss Henry goodbye. She wouldn’t let him die. She still loved him. The business awards event. This was an event held by the many successful business men in the country. It served as a way to promote their business and also give awards to prestigious businesses. Of course Henry had been invited. In fact Henry looked forward to this event because he had launched a new product in the market. This was his first time, dabbling into the world of fashion. It was a line of suits. Elegant and fashionable. It had a bullet proof vest. Now which other way would he promote it, if not at events for businessmen. The only problem was that Henry was not wearing one.“But how do you sell to them, when you are not putting it in” Jackson asked as he stared at the stained suit. The new maid had spilled coffee on Henry and ruined the suit.Henry smiled. “Don’t worry, he
Elena saw everything play out. Danny had come home that day, with his things in the car trunk. His father had kicked him out of the company and with a stern warning, never to appear in front of him, if he loved his life.Ever since that day, Elena had been at the mercy of Danny’s moods. One minute he snaps at her. The next he is asking for forgiveness. The other he goes ahead to trash the whole house. It was like he was some mercurial man. Like he was bipolar. Elena feared for her life. Any minute now, he would put the blame and anger on her, but regardless, she was happy Henry showed him, who the boss was. Happy that he was able to get his revenge, sad that it was because of her, all this happened.Well, she saw those bad times as a reward for her bad behavior.One night, after she had finished going on a crying spree, she got a call from her grandmother.“Hello grams” she said sniffing.“Baby aren’t you tired of all these?” she asked.“What granny?” she asked.“Crying? Are you an on
The next day Jackson walked into Henry’s office with a cup of coffee. He saw that henry was on the phone and the TV was tuned on. The TV volume boomed a little too high but Henry didn’t seem disturbed. Jackson squinted. He looked around the office and found the remote, as he dropped the cup beside henry’s arm. Henry nodded in gratitude as he continued speaking.Jackson tried to put off the TV but Henry raised a hand. It didn’t take long, Henry got off the phone.“I was watching the news” he said.Jackson smiled. “You see anything interesting?” Henry shrugged, “the same old jargon. All they do is talk but they never act.” He sighed. “Now you can put it off. Just as Jackson moved to do so, he stopped.“Boss is that not Danny?”Henry looked up from his work. The headline was a picture of Danny’s father and the news. It read; GLANCH GROUP OF COMPANIES HAS BEEN DECLARED BANKRUPT. Henry smirked. “Boss what did you do?” Jackson smiled.“Nothing really” he grinned. Just then there was a l
Danny raised an eyebrow. What the hell was Henry talking about.“Yeah whatever” Danny scoffed. “ I am out of here” He began to walk out the door when Henry stopped him.“Don’t you want to know what treacherous thing I have done? “ Henry smirked.“ I do not want to know and I don’t care” Danny snorted.” As if you can do anything. You can take your treachery and shove it up your ass”And with that he exited the room. Jackson turned immediately to find Henry smiling.“Boss what did you do?” He asked.Henry turned to him, his smile widening. “ I guess we have to wait for him to come back to know what”Jackson was still confused. That was not an answer though but he decided not to ask more questions.*************Danny walked with his shoulders high to his car. In His head, he had succeeded in Making a fool out of Henry. As always. He always believed he was way better than him, No mater the status Henry had attained. He didn’t care about the bid for the contract. He was going to help his
Henry blinked like a faulty bulb. He couldn’t believe it. What was Danny doing at his company.Henry’s countenance changed immediately. He gritted his teeth and clenched his teeth.Suddenly a thought came to mind. He had heard from somewhere, if someone could control your emotions, the person could control him. He hated Danny and worse off, the mere thought that Danny could control him , irked him the more.Against the chaos that was going in his head, he plastered a bright smile on his face and gestured for Danny. To come sit.“Well well well, if it isn’t Henry the pauper. What the hell are you doing here?” He questioned with a smug smile on his face.Henry smirked. “ I see you have not grown out of that baby attitude of yours. “Yeah call it anything you want but I still want to know what you are doing here? Are you the bodyguard of the boss? “ Suddenly the door was Yanked open.“Boss I am told the meeting room not hold here any longer” a short man in white hair said to Danny.Dan
How many burials is it going to be? Henry Thought. He had attended a lot of funerals since he got into the mafia.Just like Marissa, Marcus was buried in the same way. Quick and fast. Marcus’ family was contacted. Henry gave them some money alongside his condolences. Jackson filled him on what had been going on behind the scene with Marcus.On his way to work that morning, Henry could not stop himself from thing about what Marcus had done. And to think that all those happened right under his nose, made him grimace. He glanced at Jackson sitting by his side and smiled. He was indeed blessed to have him. “Marcus sure had a lot of Skeleton to hide” henry commented. The money he was rushing to go give his girlfriend was also given to his family. Though the money would have been given to Nora, since she was the one requesting for it.“Have you spoken to the lawyers?” henry asked.“Yes, they have submitted a bail application for Sabrina” Jackson said. Henry nodded. That way. Laura would
Elena’s POV“Elena!!! Where the hell are you?!” a friend screamed into the phone. My phone had been buzzing endlessly and the moment I heard her voice, I knew I was in deep shit. “Hi baby good morning please try stalling her on, I’m almost there!” I begged as I jumped out of bed. Shit! I had slept in again and I would get late for work. Good thing henry was no longer on my case but then I couldn’t help but feel a tinge of sadness.“Elena there is absolutely nothing good about the morning. I know you spent the night watching that annoying doctor series and ending it by reading novels?” Yeah that was what I did to forget my problems.“Ehhh something like that but it’s–“she cut me off. I had told Becca about my life. She was a good replacement of my once best friend, Claire. “Save whatever you have to say for yourself later. Now will you get your ass down here or you will get me in trouble!” And on that note she ended the call. I huge grin stretched across my face as I thanked the hea
“Aargh!!!!” Laura crashed the table at the center of her cell. Dominica had given her news, Stephen and Lucas were already dead.“Morons! I asked them not to attack like that!” she huffed, as she slammed her hands on the table. Her nostrils flared as she paced the tiny cell. She was getting more frustrated by the minute. First was Marissa falling in love? She decided to teach her a lesson. Now all her plans have gone to waste, with the death of these two men.“If only they listened” she muttered. Laura knew her father. While she was there, when he was alive, she had seen how proactive Luther was. He always thought ahead. That was why he was victorious in most of the impromptu attacks in his house. She was able to shoot him because she knew how things worked. Now she was away, she was sure Henry must have taken a leaf out of her father’s book. Always preparing on time.“How did they die?” Laura asked out of nowhere.Dominica went silent for a while. “Most of them were gunned down by a
“Show me” Henry said. He was handed a set of papers. Henry raised an eyebrow.“This is all of it boss” the man said. And so Henry began to read. His eyes got wider as she kept reading. The things that had been going on behind him.Marissa was contacted by Laura to come to his house watch him. All was going well until Marisa began to develop feelings for Henry. Then she was told by Laura to kill Henry but it was too late. Marissa was head over heels for him.Laura was frustrated. She didn’t know what was happening inside the house. So then she made her move. Marissa had gone out to buy some make up and jewelries. Of course she was in the company of Henry’s men. She knew what Laura could do. But she didn’t know the extent Laura could go to get what she wanted.Laura gave one of her men, a very handsome man approach Marissa. He asked her to pick anything she wanted and he would pay. Marissa fell for his charms and that was how he gifted her a beautiful bracelet. That bracelet had a lit
