Now he has accepted by defeat to save lives and his granddaughter. It pained him that he had to say goodbye to the case. However, he had other plans once he gets hold of grace.Questions were thrown at him at the press conference.The headlines had him all over the country for turning down the case. Although, the headline had Gerald on it.He had been bad luck since he came into the family.Rumors suddenly began that gerald had been embezzling money, deals in drug trafficking along side humans and was only blackmailing this old man.Everything was happening quick that it took him by surprise how his enemies plotted his life a day to the hearing in the court. They certainly knew they would lose against him due to his determination and brought up a strategy to pin him down.He was accused of accepting an ex-convict as a soon to be in-law and that's why his life was miserable.To worsen it, rumors came up he joined forces with Gerald.At lost of masses were suddenly having doubts in him
She had even lost her mother because of that. Her father had also severe ties with Mr willington who warms him of the outcome.Everything changes some days to her birthday. They had even lost their luxurious houses too because of this case.Her hands were around her father. Those sore eyes of hers were laid to rest. Her mind was void of thoughts as sleep had taken her.Currently, they would be staying at a renown chief's home. He was quiet wealthy and was a victim of the present vandalisation by the president. This man known as luke had offer to help. There were also others who offered aid because they saw him as their hero.However, the real tragedy was just beginning. It has been two months now after he lost his wife, had no contact with his family and still fighting on the case. Though, he was getting on the winning side because the death of his wife prompt more masses to join force.As for Thelma, grace nanny, she had suddenly left the country two days after her boss's death cla
Adding to that, he says that he would rule and prove to them that power belongs to the people not vipers. His life would have been wasted that day but the president was intrigued by his words and wanted to watch how brian would actually succeed.He was too busy to have noticed she was missing.To the president, it was a game or perhaps a play and was going to prove to brian that he had no one. Certainly, the fight just began and he was making things difficult for the one man who dares challenge him.The case was getting tougher as suddenly, some people who supported Brian were dropping down on the case. They were either threatened or tortured. It was getting all complicated for brian. He made up his mind that if he has no one siding him, he would do it alone.Justice for his wife! Justice for all those who lost their lives trying to support him, justice for the country. These alone prompt him to put in every effort.It has been a long day for him and he was getting all stressed. He h
Luke couldn't find the perfect word to respond to the petrified Derek who in a way was making sense. It could be that Alfred was after something else. However, what exactly was he after that even death couldn't stop him?Brian didn't even ask his father for help to find his daughter. He was able to find her and left her for his father while he taclked his problems by shedding blood.There were questions he needed to ask himself. There were things he desired to reverse. However, the tale was quite different.When did it all start?Was it when he took up the case and threatens the villian to do his worst?His eyes sucks deep as his bloody suit stinks his body. It rain heavily this day, perhaps, the weather desired to witness his fate. Though, it had subsided.The wind blew wildly tossing the coat he wore side by side. The dark night bore witness to the scenes of this man's actions. Villians always attacks at night but this night couldn't tell if this weary man was a villian or hero.Thi
The worried girl could be seen around the balcony praying to the stars to keep her father safe. The pending rain had fallen hours ago leaving behind some shower. The nervous girl watch these showers trail down the soil before it finally cease.Though there were no stars, she believes a miracle would happen and that her father will come home to her safe and sound.Her gaze shifts to her grandfather who was petrified and walking to and fro. He has been on the phone all day, trying to use his influence to know the whereabout of his son.He was keeping an eye on grace but his eyes were keen to whosoever replied his calls. His intension was to send grace and her father out of this country because he knew more tragedy would befall him.Even if his pessimistic son would refute, he would try another way, if it means kidnapping them both and taking away.He couldn't bare to lose Brian yet, though, he might have disown him due to anger, he was still willing to help.Those eyes of hers trail to
#Presently#He panicked to find her but to no avail. Chang had ordered he should be killed and in order to escape, he fell into a pool, drowning.A sneeze erupted from his nose, that got his eyes opened, his body stiffen as he attempted to turn around but couldn't due to the pain that coarse in his body. He let out a groan, stretched his arms and then blinked his eyes.A sweet scent of lavenda and rose hit his nose that he hastily jolted up from where he laid just to figure out where he was. He glanced at his chest and suddenly screamed. His swing his head up, scrutinized this place and speculates that he was in a room.Could he be in heaven? If so, God spared his sins and gave him a special suite to stay. However, if this was heaven, then, it was his soul here. He snapped out of that thought and brought out another assertion, although they weren't relating with the situation on ground.Could this be a different trap to make him die a rosy death or perhaps die by poison? Torture? Howe
His feet touched the marble tile, his eyes rolled to the back while his body moved sluggish to the door, his ears was keen to any sound that it could pick.Although he was alone here, he was still cautious of the environment he found himself. inhaled, tried not to freak out and then turned the knob of his door to get out.Stepping out of this room was like another gateway to heaven, he had no slippers on but his bare foot stomp the place.Anyone he comes across, gives a bow and scamper away, he did the same too which made him look like a psycho as he was frighten by his workers also.The only person who didn't run away was his secretary, Lucian, this man was the first man who approached him by the beach and did all the callings."Good morning sir" he muttered with a slight bow and Gerald did the same because he felt there was a need to respect elders.Lucian narrowed a brow at him and cleared his throat, brush pass the scene while saying;"The doctor would stop by to diagnose what's w
His life was going to be waste at such an age when he haven't even taken a glimpse at his future and if his dreams would ever come true. Those fears was suddenly lifted when he felt a warm embrace and tears sinking on to the off white shirt he wore, he felt this woman's gown covered almost all his body. He raised his head slowly to take a look at who was hugging him rather than killing him in cold blood. His eyes quickly detect that she was wearing a wedding dress which was covered in mud, her umber coloured hair was tossed by the brief wind and it swept across his face that it covered his sight. "Oh Alex don't ever try that again..." Her serene voice cried in his ears that he became speechless to say anything to this woman cuddling him. He desperately needed to have a glimpse at this woman whose warm breath was felt through neck which made his skin squiver coupled with her touch. "I love you" she furthered kissing him on the cheek and gluing her body firmly to his that he coul
Brian walked gently towards his car which was parked outside waiting patiently for him to get in. He gave a fake smile at whom he found inside and she returned his gestures. The chauffeur drove them to the airport and they got there thirty minutes before the flight takes off. It was a business trip along with his secretary lucy and planned to be back within a month even before it was over. They got to their destination safely and Lucy handled everything properly while they got off the plane. He wasn't ready to address anyone that day and Lucy had to inform those who wishes to see him that he was unavailable for that moment. It was late at night and he intended to take a walk around this place where he was going to stay for a while. He had an earpod on listening to music that could soothe his mood. As he strolled, he took pictures of captivating features in this place. His eyes met a girl who seemed stranded by the bridge side, she was wincing and shivering in the cold. Perhap
He turned off the phone immediately and warned Brian to stay off his family as he got informed that his wife was involved in an accident."You made a wrong choice by messing with those that were dear to me" Brian said as Felix narrowed a brow at this man right in front of him who always does as he threaten.He couldn't say a word back at Brian as he hurriedly rushed out while his brother glared at the table with an evil intention written all over his face.It rained heavily as he could be found drained in the rain, every effort to get in touch with those whom he lost in the fire outbreak proved abortive as deep in his heart.He didn't want to believe that they were consumed in the fire, he had a lot of memories attached to those people mostly the woman who stole his heart.His life was a mess as he had lost the one whom he tried to protect. He suddenly felt a shield covering him from the rain and when he lifted his head. Brian found someone holding an umbrella over his head and he s
She studied her son, the brief smile that escaped his lips.When she mentioned Julie's name, which made her heart flutter. All she wants this time is to hear Brian call her mother again."How about we pay her a visit tomorrow?" She suggested, he grimaced at her and sighed, and she knew that was a yes. His father demanded to see him privately, and he yielded to his demand. The old man laid on the bed exhausted for the day as the party was getting dismissed gradually. He smiled immediately he saw Brian and got relieved that at least he was forgiven."No one is giving me the answers I need…why did you send me back?". His scoffed and rose from the bed while beckoning on Brian to pick a file which laid on the desk."Someone talked some sense into me" he confessed sad at heart and Brian smirked at him while picking up the file lazily."Transfer of property?" Brian read and his father nodded."I don't need anything that is yours…""I knew you would say that, but son you're the only one I
His eyes strictly monitoring her hair and shoes."You can't follow me with that" he stated and offered to follow her to her room.She smiled as she followed suit. To be honest, she did that on purpose. The hair thing actually."I won't wait all day!" he yelled from the room as he got there before her. She rolled her eyes and hastened her footsteps into the room.He pulled out her makeup seat and tapped it with his hands, beckoning on her to sit down.She sat down as he instructed and stared at the mirror. She wondered if he can really dress a person's hair because his own hair never looked properly kept.She gulped as he began combing her hair with his hands."Shouldn't he be using a comb for that?" she questioned.He began twirling part of her hair and held it up with a pin. He made a twirl with another part and made held it again.She placed her hand on her cheek and let him do his thing.He was done in a minute.She kept staring at her hair while her eyes admired it.She didn't
The thought of her former apartment popped up in his memory and he decided to drive off there. Josh who was hurrying up to met his mother's needs found him at the gates."You came for her?" He just said with a wry smile."Where's she?" Brian asked with the assertion that this naughty boy was referring to Julie."Mom's apartment, she's a psycho this time around, so be careful" he advised with no formal gestures as though the kid was having an indifference attitude towards him. Brian intended him to ask him a question which concerned a drawing of his but he had to see Julie first. Brian rang the doorbell and josh scoffed;"Why are you acting like a gentle man?" He asked opening the door for Brian. In here, everyone surrounded someone and he guessed it was Julie. Quickly, he excused himself through their midst to take a look at her and once their eyes met, she flinched and folded her legs on the bed frightened. This act of hers averted their gaze on him as they sensed he was danger.
The wailing of siren could be heard as it drove to the nearest hospital. Some doctors could be seen hurrying to take a woman to the ICU. Brian got worries written all over his face, as he hoped the victim wakes up. Lucy was less bothered besides this woman would be out of her way. She glanced at the doctor who got out of the room to address them. He was sad too. Brian had it in mind that this doctor was going to tell him that the patient lost her memory. Lucy ticked her tongue hoping that she hears this woman was dead."Can I see her?" Brian asked in whispers and the doctor nodded. They transferred her from the ICU to a ward where she could be visited. Brian wasn't allowed in as he could see nurses and a security agent rushing.After the doctor assign to administer medication to her sighed sharply and ushered Brian inside. The door glide open gently as he paced towards were she sat chained to the bed, he narrowed a brow at her surprised at the sudden scene. Her hair was wet an
"Do always cry like a child whenever she spoke to you this bad?". She scoffed and ditched the coffee in his hand again."Are you here to hurt me the more""No! I'm just learning new features, you know I despise people when they cry, but you look beautiful when you do such" he teased, and she smiled wiping her tears the more and then collected the coffee from him yet again. It seems she was going to keep to act this way with the pissed off mug of coffee."Really?" She beckoned, bringing out a mirror."Seriously? You always keep a mirror with you?""Yeah, to see if I look good when I'm done" she said laughing as he only smiled a little. It didn't take long when she began yawning by then, she was done with coffee and handed him back his mug."Goodnight Brian, I've got a lot to do tomorrow at my restaurant…stay happy! But don't cross that lioness part, she's scary when she's angry" she said in a faint voice as she walked away."Julie, are okay right where you are?" He thought, glancing a
"My biggest fan?" She echoed impressive though because she never knew she's got fans from just saving lives and her biggest fan was definitely jimmy disguised; however, the late line was awkward as he says she should be grateful he wrote it. There was no doubt that she needed to call him, although she still got my pride. She carried the box inside because she didn't want anyone to see the gift inside. Once she got in.She unfolded the wrap from the box and found a necklace. It was gorgeous and made of pure diamond."Not bad" She commented because it was expensive and wow he sure knew she wanted such. Julie was more like a materialistic person, although it would have been romantic if he wore it on her and then say: "I'm sorry love for suspecting you". It wasn't only a necklace she found but a pen and diary which wrote;"Pour it all out to me, I might be of great help". Weird right but this damn book got her laughing, just what she wanted, a diary. Well, the last two gifts she saw wa
The rain had started falling and Brian intended to leave the office. He was somewhat jealous when he mistakenly found jimmy and Julie kissing. It got him all riled up, he picked an umbrella from his office and dashed outside, however Julie's voice drew him back when she said;"Please wait, let's go together". He glanced at her as she ran through the rain to meet with him, Julie had no umbrella and once she reached out to him, she went under his umbrella while rubbing her palm together annoyed. Brian wished to ask a question but couldn't, he had snubbed her earlier because he didn't want to admit to himself that he was having feelings for this woman.Besides wading off any such feelings was for good because she was going to die someday.He kept staring at her and not taking a step forward neither was she, rather this woman was staring at the rain drop."Let's go Brian" she uttered, turning her gaze to him. He felt like telling it to her face that she should end any relationship she had
