The next morning, Henry woke up with a big smile. Finally he had gotten an answer to his question. He whistled while in the shower. It was a good day.As soon as he stepped out of the house, there Jackson stood.“Henry you wanted to see me” Jackson said. He looked older than the last time, Henry had seen him. He had huge dark circles under his eyes. Henry wondered if he slept at all. To think that he was the cause of this made his eyes water.Henry stepped forward and pulled him into a hug. “I’m sorry brother” Henry muttered. Jackson raised an eyebrow. He didn’t understand what was going on. “huh?” “Come on” Henry went round the car. He opened the other door for him. Jackson was confused.“I thought you didn’t trust me” he muttered.“No Jackson. I do. Can we talk. If you will follow me, let’s go to somewhere quiet” Henry pleaded. Jackson looked from Henry to the car. He didn’t know what to make of it.“I hope you wouldn’t change your mind” he said quietly. Henry shook his head. “N
“Don’t beat yourself up boss” Jackson said as he got out the car. Henry nodded quietly.As they got out of the car, Henry remembered something.“So what do we do about it…I mean Marcus?” He asked. Jackson had a pensive look on his face.“First we watch him more. I don’t have any other idea on what to do. I need to get freshened up and eat” Jackson said.Henry chuckled. “ I’m sorry u did think of food” he said.And just as they were about to get into the house, They heard a shriek.They stopped. “ did you hear that?” Henry asked, cocking his head to one side.“ I heard that too” Jackson agreed. “ it sounds like two people are fighting. Thru followed the noise to the inner part of the garden. Henry’s eyes widened as soon as he saw Ruby dragging Marissa’s by the hair. Immediately he moved to stop the fight but Jackson stopped him.“We need to hear them” he muttered. He gestured for Henry to calm down.Henry was about to speak. He wasn’t going to stand here and watch Ruby assault Marissa
Ruby’s POVI blinked like a faulty bulb. Oh no what was happening.Henry glared at me. Henry had never looked at me with so much hate in the eyes.“Ruby!” Henry thundered. I flinched.“Start talking” he growled. “ Okay” I muttered as tears began to pour. “ I haven’t been entirely honest” my mind drifted back to where it all began.************** The first time Windsor let me go as a maid in his home, I found a job at a Bar. I was living with my little sister and uncle. I jumped into the shower and had my bath in double time. I could hear my uncle call out to me.“Ruby hurry up you’ll be late for work! “ I could hear his voice over the shower that was running.“Yes uncle! "I yelled back as I rushed out of the bathroom and grabbed my lotion. I didn’t need to pick clothes out of my wardrobe because I had already done that. I will wear the black gown which was the uniform and a black and white slip on.I did my makeup like I always did. My go to always make up routine. Then I slu
Ruby took in a deep breath as she turned to face Henry and Jackson. She blinked a couple of times. She wiped tears off her eyes. She stared at her feet.“Ruby we are still waiting” Jackson reminded her. “ Tell us what is this secret“Okay I will speak” she finally said. She took in deep breath again and looked up.“ The night before we went on the mission to kill Ivan, Windsor's son something happened.”“ What happened! “ Henry asked almost immediately. Ruby was Killing off his patience by the minute. “Marissa here” she glared at the lady and she flinched. “ I and Marissa were very close at that time. She was my informant back at Windsor’s gang.” Marissa licked her lips. Her throat was getting dry as she inched closer to the truth.“Honestly if you keep stopping just like now, I might have to shoot you” Henry growled. His nose flared and he clenched and unclenched his palms. He had a gun behind him and he itched to use it. The only thing that was stopping him was that he couldn’t sh
Henry’s POV.“That bastard” I growled as I punched at the wall. I stormed out of the hotel and I told my bodyguard to make sure that the leaves the country that night, because the Stephen I knew would kill her because of a failed job.Stephen Hawkins was one man I knew who was Luther’s rival in the mafia. Now he was mine.. He will stop at nothing to make sure that he was the only one on top because he was there before me and he feels that younger generations had no say in the tech industry. I and Steven didn't see eye-to-eye on many things. And that caused a rift in the business industry, I had just joined. There were people who sided for me and there were some people who did same for Stephan. we got into a fight and I said that I will beat him at his game and he dared me to do it. I began to think of way to push him down that I funded an invention that could track money that was stolen years ago. My Invention was beneficial to the government because it helped them in catching thi
By the time, Henry and Jackson had got back home after chasing Stephen, Marissa had been pronounce dead. She had lost a lot of blood before the doctor came. All efforts to revive her were useless. Henry was at first pissed but then on hearing her death, he couldn’t help but feel sad. He liked Marissa. She was a great company. An excellent conversationalist. Henry enjoyed those late night conversations he had with her. In the midst of his pain and confusion on what to do with an assumed guilty Jackson, the conversations he has with Marissa kept him going. He looked forward to them.To think she was in alliance with Laura hurt him so much. “Boss we found some messages on her phone” one if his men informed him.“how did you get the password?” Henry asked.“we were trying different things until miss Ruby asked us to try your name”“My name?” Henry arched an eyebrow.The man nodded.” You cab try it yourself” he said. He handed over Marissa’s phone to him. Henry immediately imputed his
“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
“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
