“ 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
Two days later, all the cases against Luther were dropped.Henry sighed with relief as he received the message from David, their lawyer. They were now allies with the president. When Henry got to the government house, the president called him aside and thanked him for saving his life. Henry asked two of men to guard the president but in the other hand, they would be Henry’s eyes and ears in the country. The president asked if they could get the VP impeached, since he found out, he was behind the attack. Henry assured him that he would do just that. After Jackson gas seen the lawyer off to the gate, Henry and his men gathered in a round table.“So guys, we need to take the Vice president down but we can’t do it on our own” Henry announced. The Vice president was a hard nut to crack. He needed to not see the attack or else he would not hesitate to kill the person.“do you know anyone?” Henry asked.Marcus began to smile. “Boss I think I know just the right person for the job.********
Bella’s POVI got home and sank my self into the bathtub filled with milk. I hummed a tone as I lazily washed myself. This was my routine whenever sent on these kinds of mission. Just like Queen Cleopatra who was, also a seducer, I took a page out of her book. I had beauty baths in milk from time to time. Well that was the only part of my routine that took most of the time.With the snap of a finger, I was out of the bathroom and was putting on my thong. The red dress was a V necked, spaghetti straps, silky gown. It stopped just after my butt. I paired it with some strappy black heels . After an hour of makeup, I stood up and began to pack my purse. But before I left, I adjusted the boob tape, that way my boobs looked like they were gasping for air. Taking my silver purse, I headed downstairs and sighted my Uber waiting patiently for me.Getting in, I smiled at the driver who smiled sheepishly at me but his eyes was on my boobs. "You look beautiful Ma'am" he smiled starting the
Henry stood in the dimly lit room, the flickering light casting a scary look on the walls.“your man did a good job” Henry said to Marcus. In his hand, he held the diamond, glinting in the light.“it’s a girl” Marcus corrected.“ wow” Henry said.“You may go” Henry said to Marcus.This diamond was a masterpiece. Rarely seen and illegally obtained. This where the vice president came into the Picture. Everyone in the mafia knew that the vice president dealt in illegal substances like jewels. He would his men to come into the jungle. They would dredge up the soil and the gold and send it abroad to be processed. The vice president will then use in the of guise importing gold and diamond and bring them in into the country. The major reason, the jungle has been restricted from people was because if anyone dug too deep, it would mess with the land and threaten an earthquake or a flood and their water ways. There have been reports of seeing gold in their water. Of which this can cause probl
On one side of the mafia were celebrations and on the other was anger and pain.“Get out!” Laura yelled as she smashed the glass to the wall. Her maid walked away in shaky legs. She had taken the orange juice Laura had requested to her, only for her to get shouted on.Laura could not fathom the pain she felt. She didn’t know how Henry was able to pull this off. She thought the Vice president was way powerful. He could not be harmed but now she stood corrected. Laura paced the long hall of her room. She stared at the papers one more time and flinched. It was the picture of the vice president with the wire Fraud written beside him in bold letters. She took the papers and began to read. It detailed how the girl was caught with the diamond.Then she flipped the page and It was blank.“Marco!” “Boss” he came running.“Is this all you could find?” she threw the file at him. He picked it up and didn’t say a word. Laura ran her hands through her hair. Think. Think. Laura thought.“ Marco g
Henry, Jackson, Marcus and the other guys were in a club down town to celebrate a successful attack on the vice president. The last that was heard of him was that he was going for his final trial and if found guilty he could be sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. The president passed down his congratulatory message. He gifted Henry and the boys done cash.Meanwhile all these going on, Henry knew that Laura or Lucas anyone amongst the president’s men would want to revenge. So Henry see measures in place. He had tightened up security around the house. The lawyers were double guarded. He made sure to spy on some of his untrusted men.These were the ones likely to decamp to the other team. All round, everything was okay except for one thing. His second in command.Jackson being the most caring but daring member of the group was going through some challenges. It was girl problems. He had asked his girlfriend to not leave him. This was his Lowest time because amidst putting up
Ropes. Restricted movement. That was the first thing Jackson noticed when he opened his eyes. That was all he needed to know that he had been taken.He knew that the red head was a bad idea from the set go. He just didn’t listen to himself. It made him wonder if everything had been orchestrated by Laura. He had earlier closed when he felt a heavy hand punch him across the face. Then came the butt of the gun. Everything went black.“You are awake” a deep voice interrupted his thought process. Jackson wasn’t only bound hands and feet. He had a big rope tied across his chest and made his hands immobile.“you guys didn’t need to tie me—” Jackson began.“ Shut the fuck up” the scary looking man said. “ you are the one who gives the orders”Jackson rolled his eyes. Hitmen were always dumb. The rope was tied well but not enough. He could shrink his body and the rope on his arms would fall off. He could do the same to his hands. It was just that the man would have to leave for him to do
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
