Dex’s POVI woke up to voices arguing. I got out of bed, my little feet barely making it to the floor and I jump down. Everywhere is so dark that I can’t even see my hands or my next step.Where is mum and dad? I walked down the hall way. Then suddenly there was a bright light plunged in my face. Strong hands held my face in place as the light illuminated downstairs, at the siting room, I could see mum and dad knelling with hands on their backs.“Dex! Close your eyes!” then the next thing I hear is a string of gunshots and mum and dad fell limp to the ground. Their blood splattered on the white cushion.“NO!!!!!!!!!!” I yelled*******“Where the hell is Luther?” Dex thundered. He was growing impatient by the minute. He had shot and killed a bunch of people but he still had not seen Luther. He was lucky that before Luther could act, he had arrived. He shot all the ones, he had asked to shot the ones he had bribed. He shot anyone who was willing to cooperate and took over the house.
One month later.Henry was happy as some people congratulated him on being the second in command. He didn’t think he would reach this height in such a short time.When Max heard that, he was elated and couldn’t wait to go back to the house. Henry told him he wouldn’t be coming back to the house. He prepared some money and he was to go to school to study. Amidst all the celebration, Henry had noticed that he didn’t see Lukas. Lukas had not even come to congratulate him on it. He felt weird but he thought it was his arrogant side speaking. Luther was happy and gave the whole of Henry and his group, including Lukas a vacation trip to reward them. They had gone to the Caribbean. ******Though Lukas kept behaving like he had been forced on the trip, henry didn’t let that prevent him and the others from enjoying the trip. But he didn’t ignore the fact that Lukas had changed. He was not goofy or lively anymore. If he was being honest, Lukas was annoying.******“Truth or Dare” Lukas said s
Lukas was jealous and it was obvious even to the blind. He didn’t understand why Luther had given the second in command title to Henry. He had just got here. He didn’t know how the affairs of the mafia was run. He was just a young boy he showed careless bravely. He hoped Henry would get killed while putting himself on the line for others, but that was not the case.They had gone many jobs and each of them Henry showed good leadership character. It Irked Lukas Greatly.“I am so happy he is the second in command” Martha, the head cook announced Lukas looked at her irritatingly. He had come to hang out in her room.“Not you too” Lukas said.“Come on he is good” She said defensively.“I thought you were Dex’s person” Lukas said as he sat up.“Yes I was but now he is dead” she said. Lukas shut his eyes and ground his teeth. Everyone was singing Henry’s praise. He was disgusted.He stood up and grabbed his keys.“Where are you going?” she asked.“Anywhere as far it’s not here. You guys di
Henry was no fool, he understood what was going between him and Lukas. He noticed that he slept most times. He didn’t attend to most jobs, he was always MIA. He heard from reliable source that he was talking with outside people and had a business. Things like this could make Luther forget a bullet on his head but he couldn’t report him. He was still his friends. Whenever Henry got pissed, He remembered the three of them. When Damien was still alive. He couldn’t report him.One thing Henry feared was that, when he would be pissed beyond his capacity, he might not be able to hold it in. He could be the one putting the bullet in Lukas’ head.He was coming back from a jog when his phone rang. It was a Laura. She had fled the country on Luther’s orders.“ hi babe” she said. Laura had been giving Henry clues. Asking him if they were now a couple. Henry didn’t know how to handle it do he avoided the question. He had thought that if he got to find Damien’s murderer, he would be at peace, bu
Unaware of what he had done, Lukas went around town, clubbing. He thought of a perfect plan to seal his mother’s mouth. He knew she was a greedy woman.“Lukas will you come here right this instant! Don’t you dare walk out on me” his mother shouted at the peak of her voice. He stopped in my tracks and turned to her.“Mum, could you please tone down your voice.” Lukas frowned “Lukas you can’t keep going to parties every weekend. What of work?” she said as she kept following me around like a puppy. Her voice composed this time.“Mum please leave work alone for me. Right now I just want to unwind. “He knew just the best thing to shut her up. He went into his car and took out wads of cash. He estimated the amount. It was triple of the amount he always gave to her. She smiled shyly as he stared at the money. He knew his mother to well. She was a gold digger that was why she ended up with a liar like his father.“Now mum, if you would excuse me I have somewhere I have to be” Lukas said ki
Once in the comfort of his hotel room, Lukas then began to read to read the diary like book.******14/2/1846I felt cheated and played. What did he take me for? A fool? The bag containing the medicines I had made for him, dropped to the ground, the moment I looked and I locked eyes with him. He said something to the people with him and with that he took giant strides towards me but I ran off.I ran and he ran after me.“Where are you going?!” I heard him shout in that Baritone that I have grown to love. I didn’t answer him as I increased my pace.“Liar! Stay away from me!” I shrieked as I ran. Tears began to spill from my eyes but I wiped it off immediately. I dare not let him know how, he affected me. I thought I was far from him as I didn’t get to hear him again. Just as I was about to turn, huge hands grabbed me and picked me up. I turned to find out that it was him.“Where are going to?!” If you leave here, you would be as good as dead” he warned.“Where I go is none of your bus
Henry paced the balcony. He couldn’t sit or stand. All he imagined is how he would either out a bullet in Lukas’s head or choke the living daylight out of him. Luther was mad at him. “Have you seen him?” came Luther’s voice the moment he stood at the entrance of his room. Henry bowed his head. “No” he was ashamed of himself for not nipping Lukas in the bud. He didn’t know what he was waiting for. The arrest and the call to Luther that afternoon was the most embarrassing call he had to endure. Luther was giving him one word answers. He had to use his brain to decipher the real meaning of what Luther was saying. As he stood there, he was expecting that Luther would go on a rant. Telling him how he was disappointed him and all. He shut his eyes waiting for it come. When he came he had expected Luther to slam the door on him. But Luther did none of that. Rather Luther sat facing the window. He didn’t even spare him a glance. “When the boy comes in, be sure to tell me. Don’t cover up
Meanwhile Laura had heard of the girl her father wanted Henry to marry. She had a mental breakdown and she stayed days crafting her plan. Henry would marry no one but her. She would make sure of that.Ruby’s POV “Ruby!!!! Where the hell are you?!!!” Chloe shrieked.My ears bleed any time, Chloe calls my name just like this. She does this every freaking time. And it doesn’t get any less annoying. The princess knows that I am not hard of hearing but she insists on calling out to me in an ear-piercing scream.“Yes Miss Chloe, I'm already here.” I said immediately, before I am been thrown into a cell. I am not far from her, just almost at her door but she always want to be a drama queen. As I increased my pace on the stairs. I stop suddenly as I notice my legs are all wobbly, from all the running around. As I am about to fall, I use my free hand to hold unto the rails and in the process I mistakenly stub my little toe at the edge of the door.“Aarrgh!” The pain goes straight to my head
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
