Henry was beyond angry when he realized that he had missed out all the fun.“ They came out of no where and before we knew it, there were shooting at us” One of Henry’s men said.“Jackson really tried in diverting them” the other said.Henry didn’t know now he didn’t know or have the idea. Luther was raving mad at Henry. He made him sit on and guard the house for not staying around. He didn’t want to speak to him after he had barked at him. Henry had never been so ashamed of himself. “Don’t beat yourself up about it. “ Jackson told Henry. “ it wasn’t the best night though”Henry nodded. They watched a car pull up at the house and everyone stood up. Security had been tightened.Anyone who came or left the house was scrutinized so well like with a microscope. After that incidence Henry noticed that he had not seen Laura too. Hos suspicion grew so well that he couldn’t ignore it.“Hey I need you to check on something “ henry whispered into Jackson’s ears.“Huh?” Jackson’s eyes widened
How dare him! Laura thought.She didn’t know that Henry woke have the audacity to go through her things. Her phone. She checked her phone and beneath the number there was a message. It was from the vice president. He said he was packing loads of Luther’s enemies. This way he was not going to fail this time.Laura said hoped it worked out this time. She was tired of hiding her true self. She didn’t want to call Henry. She was waiting for him to do the right thing. One week later, Henry was yet to call. She was pissed. She wanted to be done with him and hurt him beyond his imagination.One day while she was in the club, she met the last person she thought she would never see.Lukas.“ well well well what do we have here” “ hi Lukas” she said.“ I never for once thought that I would see you here” he smirked.“ You are not omnipresent. You can’t be everywhere then” she said.Lukas looked pleased to see her or he was just having a time of his life. Then suddenly he took a gulp of his
Henry’s POVThree months later.There was no surprise attack on the gang. Laura had been calling to apologize but I was not ready. Jackson one day suggested we visit the club. I agreed because had left the country.*********It was 1am and I was at a party with my friends. Then I saw Lukas. He smirked and asked that he joined us. I told Jackson to Let him though he didn’t like it.Suddenly Lukas began to stare at me. “Truth or Dare” Lukas said staring right at me. I rolled my eyes. He was back at itLukas smirked at me. “Lukas will you cut it out” Jackson looked from left to right. “Dare” I said in clenched teeth. “You know what he wants to do” Moose whispered while pulling me by the shirt and I smiled. I was going to indulge him because I was bored.“Come on Henry, you know he’s just jealous” Moose added.Lukas smirked. “Look at him, he is already scared”“Should I?” I snapped. It was like déjà vu.“Why do you guys keep on protecting him?” Lukas said looking away while chuckling
One year later.Music flooded the speakers as people swayed to the side. Decorations of different colors filled the whole house.Today is the day Luther’s men have been waiting for. Luther was coming back to the country. Henry met with everyone that would come work at the party except the dance people.Laura had begged for forgiveness enough so he forgave her but he told her that he would not date her again. Laura was okay with that. She told him that she would hire the dance people at the party.There was a roar and clapping from people. Henry peered. He could see a healthy looking Luther. He looked handsome. It was good he left the country. It made the house quiet.“ fan and turn the meat, Don’t let it burn” Henry said to the old man and he nodded. Henry walked to the center. “ Welcome Luther” he said quietly. Luther immediately turned.“Henry!!! It’s good to see you again” he said and grabbed Henry for a hug.Henry’s POVThere was a gun shot in a distant.“We’ve been attacked!”
The morning that followed the death of Luther king was a quiet one. The whole house was as quiet as a graveyard. His men who were still around, went about tidying up the house. The maids were nowhere to be found as they fled the area. The people who loved him in the town mourned him quietly and his enemies also rejoiced quietly. One wrong move from his enemies, and it would be a blood birth. Henry was just gearing for that. All through the early hours of the morning, Henry had been restless. His blood drummed through his veins. He gritted his teeth as he recalled seeing the blood trailing all the way to the balcony before he was shot there. The sight of the pool resembled that of a moment, when a shark was tearing through a human. Henry went though many what ifs in his mind. He wished and fantasized about how he would have saved Luther. He badly he wanted to avenge Luther’s death. Deep down him knew that his Killer was not far from the house.That same night, the ambulance arrived.
Laura removed her hand from her mouth almost immediately. She shut her eyes and opened it.“I heard it from the news” she said immediately. Henry knew that was defensive behavior. That even added to Henry’s reasons to suspect her. Henry knew that the press had been told that Luther was dancing when he was shot. That was why people were too hurt. It was just the people around that saw Luther fall from the balcony. So Laura was lying. He didn’t want to press further, so he smiled.“Okay” he said and stood up to leave when he heard Laura’s voice.“Okay?” she echoed the word out like she didn’t understand.“Okay. Were you expecting more questions?” henry said with a ghost smile playing on his lips.“No!” then she cleared her throat. “I mean no” she scowled. She stood and began to gather her gadgets.“Good” Henry replied and walked out. He let out a small laugh on the way to his room. It was just a matter of time before Laura would begin to sing like a bird. Or she could be a hard nut to c
Henry had left the house to a hotel. It was his favorite spot. The hotel had a serene environment. He always went there when he had a mental overload and needed to see people and not guns. Being in the Mafia was not something he was proud of but going back was something he hated. He never wanted to feel that way again. that way when Danny had stood in front of everyone and insulted him. One word comes to mind, whenever he thinks of that; helpless. No one was willing to help, except until Luther stepped in. guess that was why he had a liking for the man. Even though he might have done evil things, he still liked him. he had finish going for a swim, he wore his clothes and took the elevator to his room. on his way to the elevator, he saw ladies, calling out to him as they sashayed in front of him. he gave I another thought. Nah. The reason his head was this messed up was because of a woman. He got up to his room and inputted his code. He should have noticed a figure in his room standi
Laura wants to kill me? Henry thought. He didn’t have time to be sad or angry. He knew he had to act or he could really be dead.Henry’s senses were all on alert. He went to the window and peeped. He couldn’t see them. They must be on their way up.“ Stand up!” He grabbed her and pushed her to the door. Luckily she was able to walk with her legs tied. He closed the door behind him and grabbed her. Together he followed Through the staircase. In his hands, Laura’s phone kept ringing. He checked their chat to know that, Laura had already told Lukas his room number. He felt sad. He never for once thought he would be able to really kill Laura, no matter how he wanted to. But here she was, she has already planned his death.They got down and he got into the car. Then while he was driving, Laura managed to loosen up the cloth tied on her mouth.“ where are you taking me!”“ somewhere you won’t hurt someone else” he said as he increased his speed. Laura turned f her head frantically to the
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
