Henry knocked on the door. “Come in” came Ruby’s voice. She had washed up and was given clean clothes to wear by the maids.“Hello Ruby” Henry said as he walked into the room. He was accompanied with Jackson and Marcus.“How are you doing?” Jackson asked.“I’m okay” she smiled. “Okay Ruby we need to take down Ivan” she nodded. “But we need your help” Henry added. Ruby went quiet for a moment. “I don t think she can do it” Jackson muttered to Henry. “I can do it” she said immediately. “It’s just that I need some things in place” she said her eye shone with determination. As in a depth of many seas, Ruby recalled what had happened before she got to leave with Windsor. She shook her head. Her whole life was turned upside down, the moment she was kidnapped by Windsor’s men. Because she was too young, she could be put into the prostitution business, so Windsor decided to make her a maid. His son was like 2 years younger than her but he took pleasure in bullying her at every moment he g
“Clean this up” henry breathed.Henry walked the long length of the warehouse. His gun in one hand and a cigar in the other. If he took it out and shot the whimpering big baby named Ivan, it would be an easy death and easy and Ivan should be put side by side for any reason. He wanted to kill him but he wanted him to suffer.“Sir the water” one of his men spoke. He turned to the bowl and washed his bloodied hands. He sighed as he remembered, that he was yet to take off his watch.“Please spare me” Ivan cried. He was missing a few teeth. Courtesy Henry. After that Attack, Henry asked the two of his men to escort Ruby to the airport while he and the boys finished up. They bundled up Ivan out of the house, as If they were the police. When he noticed that they had switched cars and were driving through lonely forest road, Ivan became restless. Firstly he cussed at them. Threatening fire and brimstone. He warned them to let him go or he would kill them. Marcus told him to relax. That if he
Henry’s POV“A mole was a danger to himself and everyone around him”Those were Luther’s words when Dex was misbehaving. Till this day, those words have stuck with me. After the understanding of what was going on, I knew indeed that I had a Mole in the gang. Someone was feeding Lukas information with what was going on the pack. I knew I had to act fast or the outcome would be brutal. I had to do something to lure him out. I was no Luther who had Powers to sniff out Moles. “I have not been at peace since the incident” I said to Jackson. We used the family of the men to retrieve their bodies for a funeral.“Me too” he sighed. “It feels like someone was constantly watching us”“What do we do?” I asked.” I have an idea” Marcus added. He leaned in and whispered into my ears. I smiled on hearing that. “It is risky but it’s doable”**********And so I had secret guards watching, my gang members. Then I called them all foe a meeting. I told them I would be going to the mountain house for a l
Frustration was not a good feeling to wake up to, but Elena supposed it was better than regret. She loved Danny but lately he had been misbehaving. Their communication was poor. She had been hearing the rumors that he was seeing his father’s secretary. Elena choose to not accuse him. He had never made her feel he was with another woman, well until now.“Hello miss” Elena looked up to find the sales rep staring at her with a smile.“Oh I’m so sorry, please get me these two” Elena smiled as she pointed to a men’s watch and a boxer brief. Danny would love these. Tomorrow was Valentine’s Day and she had been saving up, to get him something. They had agreed to meet up tomorrow. She sprang up from her seat and walked to the dressing mirror. She stared at her reflection and somehow couldn’t recognize the woman staring right back at her. She was not happy neither was she sad. She did not hear from Henry again and she wondered if he took her message serious“Thank you” she said smiling at the
Elena’s POVThere I was at Lee‘s house after a date night. We were officially dating after the first date. I was on vacation at the Bahamas and I found myself a new boyfriend and some friends. What I did not know was that all these had been planned. “Is that really all you’ve got?” I panted, raising my eyebrows as my gaze moved down his body. One of the things I loved about Lee was that he knew how to make me feel loved and wanted in bed. And also I think, I have fallen head over heel for him. I hope I don’t get hurt but then something was off. Lee never slept with me. We made out but that was it.“It’s nothing. This isn’t even close to enough.” Lee chuckled, shaking his head playfully.“Hmm…” I teased and raised my hand, running my thumb lightly down his nipple.“Are you serious right now?” He frowned and laughed mockingly. “That feels like it’ll be enough. You should put more effort into pleasing me than you do. That sounds like a good way to get your mind off what I’m going to do
Henry solved the problem of the mole but he had no idea of what was coming. He didn’t know his problems were just starting.Two days later it began. Luther had three lawyers in his legal team. They were the next in line. First it was David.David, a seasoned lawyer of the country, known for his punctuality and dedication, set out for work on a crisp Monday morning. He checked his watch, noting that he had just enough time to grab his morning coffee before his first meeting. With his briefcase in hand, he stepped onto the bustling city sidewalk, lost in thought about the day ahead. He had to get ready for court. His case would be called first.Deep in his thoughts, unaware of his surroundings, a sleek black car had been tailing him since he left his apartment. As David turned the corner onto a quieter street, the car pulled up beside him, and before he could react, he felt a sharp blow to the back of his head and he passed out.When David regained consciousness, he found himself bound
“ What do you mean, they were attacked?” Henry turned to Dave, the youngest recruit into the group. The night was just beginning. It looked calm but there was nothing Peaceful about how the night would be.“ Boss, David has been kidnapped. His wife called saying he didn’t come home last night. Jack was threatened. He had been trying the reach out to you but your number was not available. And for Markus the head of the team. His secretary sold him out and he was attached and beaten. Right now, he is at the hospital” Dave said. Henry sighed deeply. He looked up and ran his hand through his hair.“You may go” he dismissed Dave.“these problems… they never stop coming do they?” Jackson said.Henry looked lost in thought. He didn’t speak immediately. “ problems are a sigh that we are alive. A lack of problems means one thing and it’s death” Henry said. He pushed the table away, his dinner sat untouched. It didn’t look like he would come back for it.Henry stood up. “come on we are leavi
Tensions were high in the city. Henry had not slept in the last 72 hours, because he was protecting the lawyers. He had not heard anything from Laura or Lukas. The streets were as quiet as a grave yard. The gang they had ransacked to get to the lawyer did not even retaliate. It was then Henry knew that Laura had been recruiting people to attack him or the lawyers. Just as soon as they got down from the car, Henry got Intel. The President was going to get murdered in the weekend. It was a well planned murder by the Vice president. No one would suspect that he was the one. Henry and his gang saw that as opportunity to be an ally with the president.The had to swoop in and safe him. The last attack on the president was foiled by Luther’s men but it was nothing major. The president was yet to recognize them. Now another opportunity had presented itself for Henry.“I need to get into his house, how do I do that?” Henry asked.“We have a plan” Jackson said.The party was slater to happen
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
