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
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
