Ciara had just arrived at work, walking into her office and just about settling down when her secretary walked in. "Mrs Van, Mr Van has a message tagged as urgent." The secretary responded by bringing out a letter from a pack of files in her hand."What message and from who?" Ciara had her brow raised as she said."I can't say, Mrs Van. The letter seems quite mysterious. I had seen the letter on my table this morning after I had arrived at work, and then I asked other workers, but no one knew who it was.""Why then is there CCTV if that can't help?" The news had raised Ciara's inquisitiveness. "Mrs Van. We did that, we did all of that, yet nothing was seen.""You mean you didn't find the identity of who dropped this on the CCTV footage?" Ciara was confused."We didn't, Mrs Van." A brief silence ensued between them, after which, she slowly began to open the letter."Ma, I don't think you should open it! What if it's a letter bomb?" The secretary crowd in panic.However, Ciara was sett

"Even though you are off Klaus's radar for now, you are still wanted, so I need you to exercise a huge patience. Just act according to instructions, to make things easier for everyone.""Boss, I think I know how best to remove the wanted order from her." Mr Yen said."Sure, Mr Yen, you understand the law better than any of us here. You can share how we can go about it." Edwin the responded calmly."it's simple, boss. I will raise it before the jury and plead that the ban of wanted be lifted from my client.""Are you sure that will work? I don't really trust those law people." Edwin argued."It always works, boss. And as long as the judge looks critically into the case and there is no favouritism. Then it should work." Mr Yen explained to them, trying to make sure that they all understand."Mr Yen look into it for us then. I guess with all settled, we should be able to end this meeting. It's nice having you guys on board, trying to fight against corruption.""We are privileged to have

Richard responded immediately, turning to the laptop before him."I can't wait, get it done immediately." his voice was laced with impatience, he couldn't hold back the fact that he was tense.

Edwin was immediately agitated by the knock on the door. He had called his guys to stay away from home, if they had, then who was at the door?All this he thought to himself in a daze."You have somebody at the door, man, go check." one of them teased him. He balled his fist in anger, strolling towards the door. The first thing he did was peep through the hole."Damn! Is she dumb!" he mumbled to himself, balling his fist, then opening up, he raised his voice to say. "What are you doing he…"Before he could finish, she raised a bag to him. "What else would I be doing here, if not for the fact that Mum asked me to come over with this plate of soup." Helen didn't allow him to finish his statement before she strode past him into the house."Hele…" her name hung in his mouth immediately while he watched her walk in.Upon getting into the living room, she froze to her feet when she sighted Brandon and his men, her legs turned jelly-like as well while she wondered what was happening.Howeve

At first, Edwin paused when he heard the masculine voice call him, he was expecting a feminine voice and that of Helen to be precise, but here he was meeting another thing entirely."Kendel!" Edwin was first of all struck to the spot. No other person called him by that name except for the Meritual gang, only they addressed him by that name."Are my ears playing tricks on me, or is this reality?" he asked himself, with a creased brow for a minute. Thereafter, fastened his step towards the door.He would never make the mistake of opening the door without the loophole anymore. Helen's case had taught him a lesson.Once bitten, twice shy.He checked the loophole and there, he met the shock of his life. It was Brandon.This time, it wasn't just Brandon, but Brandon was with other members of the gang.He at first headed from peeking through the hole, brushed through his face with his palm to be sure he wasn't dreaming and then he checked but it was still the same thing."What could they be

"Alaric is something up with you?" Alaric didn’t expect Draco or anyone to come around then, so he was startled.Giggling, he forced himself to say. "It's pretty nothing, I just came here to have a drink!" he sipped from the cup again."A drink, for over three hours?""Three hours! How is that even p.." he hurriedly checked his wristwatch only to realise that Draco was indeed right.He had spent over three hours drinking and soliloquising."Is it a girl issue?" Draco took a seat to level with him. "Hmmm… could it be a girl problem?" Draco hurriedly leaned closer. "I thought your woman was back. So why brood further?" Draco was inquisitive.Staring blankly, Alaric said to him. "Maybe I want more than that. Maybe I want more than what I'm getting." he sipped another round from his cup, but then this time, Draco collected it back from him."Hey, enough of it, Alaric! Time to stop drinking." Draco repeated, taking the wine far away.Alaric sighed and leaned against the cellar table before

"Yes boss, I think we should carry them along. They deserve to know everything that's happening so they can know where to come in." Alaric advised and just immediately, Edwin dailed Mr Yen's number."Mr Yen!" "Edwin, is there a problem?" He asked immediately, even though he could at first be heard analysing some aspect of the case with Ariana which showed their dedication to the case."There is a problem, Mr Yen. And for now, I don't think there is a solution to it yet." Mr Yen was immediately agitated. "Please fill me in." be requested."The guilty in this case. Kimberly has put the life if the judge on a stake and now, Klaus the most dangerous underground warlord had declared that I look into her case. He wants dirt on her. In one word, Kimberly wants her license revoked.""This is totally against the law." Mr Yen was instantly confused about what to do. "I'm confused, Edwin. If this judge doesn't declare judgment and he is successfully able to revoke her licence to practice law,

“Let’s elope together at least you would be free from the grasp of your old man. He would seize to have a hold over you. We can have the world to ourselves. Ciara shot him a surprised gaze and then she chuckled. Unlike her old man husband, a lot of things excited her about Draco, and she was ready to elope with him if that's what it would cost her to have a good life. At least, Draco was rich, handsome, intelligent and overall, good in bed.Then what else would she want in a man? All these she thought to herself immediately.“That's a great idea,” she leaned closer to him. “Now, tell me is this a proposal? Are you giving me a proposal?”He smiled in return. “Well, it could be whatever you call it, but honestly I want you by my side every single day and I want to grow old having access to this beautiful body and the owner of the beautiful body.” Draco responded leaning closer as well and intoxicating her with his deep masculine voice that tingled like that of an angelic tone in her e
