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 atmosphere in the room had changed. Laura glared at Henry with so much hate to the extent that, If she cried it would be nothing but hate and not tears. Henry on the other hand was smirking. That was not how he felt on the inside. Smug and full of himself. Nah. He hated Laura as much as she did to him. His own could even be worse but he once heard that smiling or smirking when a person was pissed, made the other person angrier.In this moment, the only good thing better than his hatred for her was his ability to make her pissed. And hell yeah Laura was pissed. She was this close to pulling the trigger on him.“I hate you “ Laura gritted her teeth.“ Nah that’s stale news” Henry chuckled. “ and guess what the feeling is mutual”“You know, we could make something out our anger. What if we date and—” Henry began smiling “I will rather stick pins in my eyes than be with you” she sneered.“that’s intense” Henry said. “ If you were the last person on Earth with water and I was in fi
As Elena made her way through the airport, she spotted a remorseful Danny with a big cardboard, written I’m sorry.People smiled at them. Elena masked her intentions by smiling at him.“Don’t embarrass me Danny” she said in clenched teeth as she smiled in the public face. They got to the apartment and Elena was about to scold him for sending people to watch but she stopped. She realized that whatever Lee had told her was in secret.“Please forgive me baby” Danny begged as he knelt.“Okay I will but give me time”’ she said. But that was a lie. On her way back to the country, Elena’ had decide to break with Danny. It was just that, she didn’t know how to go about it.“thank you baby” Danny rose up and kissed her. Elena tried not to flinch to reveal her inner most feelings for him. “ now you can be my date to the Harper holding anniversary dinner.********Two days later Elena stood with a champagne flute in her hands. Soft music filled the air as people danced stylishly to classical
Henry’s breath hitched in his throat as soon as he spotted Elena. He looked beautiful. Her ponytail style of hair, made her neck seen and it made her look too pleasing to the eye. He drink the rest of his champagne and went to get another.Today they were at the Harper. holding Anniversary. They were invited because Luther was a share holder there. Aside that, Henry had come to the party to inform them that Luther’s burial was tomorrow.“Focus” Henry whispered to himself as he saw Elena smile at a man. She looked as beautiful as ever. He had gone to the bar so she would stop making eye contact with him. He had spotted Danny with some other men and he did want to make a scene. For the sake of Luther.Henry stared at his almost finished glass of champagne and hissed.“Any problem?” Henry turned to find a woman beside him.“I want some Vodka” he said. “I will get that for you” she said while she went through the bar. Henry looked around and he could still door Elena laughing. He wonder
His muscles? It was all taut muscles and flesh. Elena was contemplating calling the hotel, on sending the wrong person to her room, when suddenly the back turned. It was none other but Henry. Elena's jaw went to the floor. Then when she noticed he was staring at her with an eye brow raised, she immediately became embarrassed. She thought that maybe Henry would think that she was ogling him. She felt an awkward silence between them. She cleared her throat.“erm… I didn’t hear you come in” she said looking everywhere but at Henry’s face.“yeah probably, because you must have dozed off in the bathroom.” He said before going back to his unpacking and me. They were to stay a mandatory one week honeymoon, of which Elena found weird since they weren’t married for love in the first place. Elena stole another look of him. She suddenly admired the way his sweats hung low on his waist. She immediately went to change into her nighties. “Claire!” Elena growled under her breath. Her friend had
Elena woke up to find Henry not in the room. She went to the bathroom and listen. There was no water running so she Yanked the door open. She ran to the telephone and called the receptionist.“Yes Mr. Barlow left the building very early in the morning. He paid for a breakfast for—” “ I am not hungry” she immediately hung up. She fought the urge to fling the phone to the nearest wall. What stopped her was that she remembered it was hotel property.As if that was not okay, Elena wore her clothes and on her way out of the, she got a message. It was a video. She mistakenly clicked on it and instantly regretted it. It was a sex video. She wanted to wave it aside because people could spam people with porn videos but then her eyes caught on something or rather someone. She clasped a hand over her mouth and a tear rolled out of her eyes. She knew Danny was going to keep begging. She wanted out of the relationship. She immediately hit the share button. Straight up to Danny. She called her fat
