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
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
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
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
