Helen, Mrs Howard and the younger sister.However, the picture was tagged with a date, tracing the date back, it turned out that the date was just the previous year.His curiosity piqued and then he decided to ask questions. "Mrs Howard, what year did you get confined to the wheelchair?" Mrs Howard, who was still joking and smiling with Alaric suddenly got her face firm."Just last year son! You know after the death of my husband, I had to take over the responsibility of being a father to my kids. I worked tirelessly and that was it. On a rainy day, returning home I got involved in a car accident." she sniffed trying to fight back the tears of remembering the old days."The doctor said we needed to deposit a million dollars for the surgery but what do we do? I would rather be confined to a wheelchair than remain without having anything to feed my kids. Plus the docto

"Hey babe. It's been a while since we had some time together. How about I stop by your place and then we have some moments together before I return to that old man?"Draco smiled, picking up the phone. At least he finally was convinced that the poor Ciara couldn't do without him, that was just the plan and she was slowly falling for it.Instead of replying to the text, he dialled her number.An evidence that she was really missing him was this. The phone had barely rang when she picked immediately."You miss me that much?" he said with a goofy smile."Sure, why won't I? And you? Have you just taken me off your mind like that?"Draco sat at the edge of the bed and then said. "Sure, I miss you. I miss having you around me." "Hmm…" she leaned into the chair, reduced her voice to a messily soft and seductive tone. "Do you want me over? I could be there anytime soon." Connecting the dots immediately, Draco smiled and said. "With your old man around, I doubt if you will be able to come ar

"I want you all to arrive In just a few minutes. You have criminals to take!" Mr Huston said at the top of his voice."Soon, you all will be crying behind bars. I will be here to see you lick my feet only then you will be let out." he repeated laughing extensively."We would see who would be crying behind jails very soon." Perry said laughing but before he knew it, Huston was before him, looking into his eyes and then saying."You are too full of yourself, but today I would split you open and bring you down since you speak so highly of yourself."Truth be told, Huston knew Perry but he was one of those that took envy as a very good measure.Since the day he had beheld Perry from afar, he had always thought that someday he was going to bring Perry down. And now having the opportunity to see Perry right before him and their paths having to cross, he felt it as a very good way to bring Perry down.With that statement, Perry was convinced that Huston wasn't mistaken, but then, he had done

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

Edwin had sent a message to everyone of his team members including the lawyers, he needed each of them to be on the call, except Draco who had been exempted from bring on the call because he was still with his girlfriend.Since Draco had taken the initiative to inform them as regards Kimberly's arrival the next day, he saw a reason to make sure everything was put in place."Perry what's up with that side? Give me details, is there any problem and I hope everyone is in good condition ?" Edwin made sure he asked after each of them.Aside from the fact that they had a mission to fulfil, he always wanted to be sure that they were all good."Boss, everyone is good over here. Except Linda who refused to cease the tears. Her tears have intensified over the days." Perry explained wholeheartedly without holding anything back.Whilst Perry was giving a report, Mr Yen and even Ariana kept staring at him as though he were a god.They both had to wonder which boss would exist but then preferred t

"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

"Take me to the judge who is in charge of the case," Kimberly ordered Richard immediately, setting aside their bond of friendship."I… I have to check the database first, Mr Van. You would need to spare me some moments for that as I wouldn't know who the judge is." 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. How would it be heard that a big shot like himself was facing court judgement and then was proved guilty?All he thought of at that point was protecting his image, he couldn't think less or more of that.Tapping his fingers repeatedly against the table while Richard hardly went through the system. For several moments, he didn't hesitate to ask Richard. "I'm impatiently waiting, haven't you found anything yet to tell me?" "If only you would be patient, Mr Van. I'm trying all I can to search the database carefully, but I can't seem to

Not until Ciara felt his arm tug at her waist, did she realise that there was trouble.She shuddered when his hands touched her, and her brows constricted from irritation.Why is he touching me? She told herself and at the same time was just about making an attempt to turn his hands off when she remembered he accused her of cheating.If she pulled herself out of his embrace, he was going to suspect her more.Deep down, she irritably said to herself. "Calm down Ciara. Accommodate him, it's all for a short time." she told herself.The following day, the court was buzzing with whispers from various people.

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

"What problem do we have here again?" Edwin sounded frustrated."Nothing, really, boss. I'm just so concerned about the reputation of the judge. It wouldn’t be fair to see the innocent woman suffer for what she never did. That is the real law and judgement.""You are right Tony. I understand that." Edwin sighed deeply before he then continued. "You know what, let's have this discussion tonight with everyone during facetime meeting.""Alright boss. Good idea.""You would need to excuse me now Tony, I need to settle Klaus.""We will be waiting for you by nightfall, boss."

"What if she doesn't have any dirt, what if she's clean?" Edwin asked Klaus he sought ways to discourage Klaus. Even though he knew it might not work, he still wanted to try."There is no harm in trying, is there? Moreover I don't intend to stain my relationship with the K5, it would go a long way to affect me…no one goes against them and remains alive. They are rulers, an unshakable power of the society." Klaus responded affirming his point of view."And if there is none, if no dirt is found, make sure to create one. It's her against us and we must win this time around." Klaus was clear enough after which he ended the call.Edwin gulped hard with the thought of how best he was going to get that done. This same lady is the only way to their salvation as well. Moreover, how would he destry her career just for the sake of some country crazy men.He shook the thought off, and then began to think of how he could accomplish his new mission.

Fuming in anger, he couldn't contain it anymore, his ego had been hurt and he felt he could burn down the whole city."Mr Van, if we would be working in cooperation together I think it's best that you follow my ins…""I don't take instructions from anyone. I’ve been in the business world since you were born and I've been facing cases on cases, so if you don't know how best to defend me then I think you either shut up or get relieved from your duties.,"Despite the fact that Brawly was trying to ignite a discussion so he could help, Kimberly's ego wouldn't allow a space for such.He wanted to control everyone at his fingertips and would want everyone to worship him as well.After considering and figuring out Kimberly's behaviour, Brawly decided to keep his low."Give me the name of that disrespectful judge." Kimberly's voice thundered."What judge Mr Van?" Brawly had already turned confused so he decided to ask so he could clarify."Are you dumb? What judge did we both meet with today?
