Thank Goodness i prevented them from getting any shares in the hotel. that would have meant the hotel might have a problem, too.” Reuben replied.Grandpa nodded.“Let see how it goes. From what you said earlier, it means we would have to go through the meeting pretty fast so you guys can go get and start your company tour rigght?” Grandpa asked.Reuben nodded in the affirmative.“ That is alright then.Congratulations on securing your big deal” Grandpa said with a smile as he laid back on the couch, resuming the position he was in before Reuben walked in.“ Alright, Grandpa, I will take my leave now,” Reube

A GOOD PAYBACKJakes looked at her." I am good, just a little bit of a hitch there, but I am good," Jakes replied." I don't think you really are. Mind talking to me about it?" Louisa enquired." Well, I made some Edelstein with the owners of this hotel.Hlthey were selling eighty percent of the shares, and I made to buy a fifty percent of that.Some other investors came in.Just this evening, I got news that the owners have sold all the shares to the Brooks family, Reuben led them, and he has bought it.I quite pussed off right now, but I am good, I will pull through, " Jakes replied ." So this is all about Reuben. Is it this very hotel?" Louisa asked.Jakes nodded." Don't worry, we will overcome this too. This whole meeting is about Reuben. Since he has decided to step on your toes, we will step on hers too, " Louisa said, and Jakes nodded with a smile.At that moment, the door was unlocked, and two waitresses came in, wheeling some foods and drinks on a trolley.The two stopped

YOU ARE BEING FOLLOWED“ But then, there is something we will still need to consider here. How are we going to get the exact time to execute our plans?You know we might not know when they will be out alone for us to get them.Do you have any idea?” Jakes asked.Louisa smirked.“ Don't worry about that, we will just need a few resources to make sure everything is alright. We will just have some boys around to give us any information around, as to when a car leaves the place and who is driving, then we will know what is going on.I am sure this would not take more than two days. We can get this done, '' Louisa replied.Jakes looked at her. She seemed so sure of herself with her words.“ I have a lot of boys around the city, and I will have them do that.I will also need a van for the work, and I will work on that, too.However, everything should be done by the end of the week so I can leave. I need to get out of here very s

THE NEWS" How sure are you?" Louisa replied." Eighty percent sure that you are being followed.Your grandmother will never call to ask about you, " Jakes replied." Come off it, Jakes.She intentionally tried to like us up this morning.She used the business aspect as an excuse, but judging from her thoughts, she wants us to have something going on between that.That is the reason she would be calling you and talking about me.I know her intentions, too. Don't worry about all of this.Besides, if someone follows me here, nobody k ow you are here except me.They all know you and your dad have gone back home. That is it.Even if someone is following me, the only feedback they can give is that I went to a hotel. And to my grandmother, that is no big deal because I can take care of myself.Don't worry about all of this please, let's focus on what we are saying now, " Lpuisa explained.Jakes seemed quite convinced about the explanation, but not totally.He still had his doubts about all

A DEAD END ON BOTH ENDS“ I don't have any television here with me at the moment. Please try and explain to me Grandma.” Louisa said.“Well I think you should quickly surf the internet.It's a breaking news, and it is everywhere at the moment,”Grandma replied and hung up.Louisa wondered what was going on.She looked at Jakes, who was still on his phone, with a face that meant all was not well.She wondered what the news was that was making the headlines, but because she had to find out, she resorted to Grandma’s advice.She opened her browser, and she could see that most of the news channels were live and were reporting the same thing.She read the headlines.“ The Famous Terrorist Group, The Huyaqis, have set ablaze the two most famous and profitable businesses for the Jakes Family.” The headlines read.The videos were of two different places where two factories were on fire as a result of the terrorist attacks, and the firemen were trying to get the fire to

MANY IDEAS, ANY IDEASGrandma Anderson’s Mansion.Grandma sat down on a couch and watched the news.She was really surprised and in suspense as to what was going on.She needed some explanation but did not know who she was going to get it from.The only person who came to mind was Jakes.She dialled his number, and the call went through without anyone answering.She called again, and the response was the same.She dropped the phone in frustration.Following what had been said on the television that the Huyaqis were threatening to do more harm, it got her more worried and wondering what was going on. " What did they do to the Huyaqis that caused this?How are they going to solve all this crisis?Are the Huyaqis aware of our partnership?How safe are we?" She thought to herself as she paced up and down the room.She had no idea who to call since Jakes was not answering.According to reports, the Jakes family has not issued any statement as to what is going on.She knew it was going to b

THE HUYAQIS" What is going on, Reuben?" Annabelle asked, reuben.They were both in the living room now, and we're watching the newsReuben heaved a sigh and signaled her to sit down She obliged, and Reuben sat down beside her" Well, from my intel, the Jakes family have a serious issue with the Terrorist group called the Huyaqis.The Huyaqis have threatened them on several occasions, but they paid no heed to that.And this is their first strike.Clearly, there are more strikes going to follow up later.And even as we speak, those two buildings are the most valuable assets of the Jakes family.This, in other words, means that the Jakes family have now lost about seventy percent of their total wealth." Reuben explained.Annabelle nodded in affirmation." Does that mean they are no longer going to challenge you in the business?" Annabelle enquired " Of course they cannot.From the look of things, the Huyaqis are not going to stop until they make sure the Jakes family were down to zer

CHAPTER 258Anderson Mansion, Wednesday morning.Grandma Anderson was awake early in the morning and was in the living room.Since the previous night when she heard about the terrorist attack on Jakes and how Louisa explained things to her, she had not been able to be at ease.She was scared as hell, as she thought about what was going to become of their company if the Huyaqis found out about their partnership.She had tried her possible best to be able to get through Jakes, or his father, on a phone, but it seemed practically impossible as they were all not reachable.She was in need of some explanations and assurances from them on the safety and secrecy of their partnership.She had at first thought Louisa was with Jakes, but from the way Louisa reacted when she came over the previous night, it proved otherwise.Grandma was really worried as she sat behind her television in the living room, watching the news.She really wanted to be informed on what

As they sat down weeping, a knock came on the door. “ Come in please” Madam Rebecca said The door opened, and a guard walked in. “ There are some people here to see you ma'am” the guard said.

Three policemen walked in with one other man. The man without a uniform came forward. He had an ID in his hand and a paper in the other hand. “ My name is Mr Andrews, and these are inspectors Jack and Jill, we have an arrest warrant against Mrs Evelyn Anderson, and we

You are welcome ma'am" one of the policemen who knew her greeted her as soon as she entered." I want to see Louisa now," she fumed, ignoring the greeting from the policeman." Certainly ma'am, you have to wait for just a few minutes. I will be right back with you, " the policeman said with a dry smile and walked back in.Grandma stood in front of the policewoman at the reception.She looked at her with a deadly look, and the woman did her best to avoid the gaze and ignore her.Grandma stood there shaking vibrantly.She could feel her knees hurt from the stand, but she ignored the pain and stood there.Her only aim at that time was to see Louisa and speak with her, and that was exactly what she was doing.After standing for about three minutes, she was already losing her patience.Just

Where is Louisa? I was told she was coming to the hospital to see me but she never came.Where is she now?" Grandma asked.She noticed that everybody else's face changed at once.She suspected that something was wrong." What is it? Why is no one talking to me?"

Is this what your plan led us to? In prison?" Louisa screamed out to Jakes when they were arrested.All she got was a caution from the police to keep her mouth shut, with the addition that whatever she said at that time could be used against her in the court.Louisa knew that was the end.They had been caught in the act, and she was sure that the boys were going to confess that Jakes was their leader.She was caught with Jakes at the same time at that scene,

Excuse me ma'am, there is a parcel for you," the guard said as soon as he walked in." Who is it from?" Grabdma asked " There is no sender's address, only the delivery address, and that is here." The guard said.He handed over the envelope to Grandma.Grandma took the envelope and muttered a " thank you" as the guard left.She was curious as to who would send an envelope without a sender's address.Grandma did not touch any of his cutlery. Instead, he opened the envelope to see the contents.The envelope contained a single sheet.She took out the paper and read the contents of the paper."

THE PLACE WHERE IT ALL STARTED"What is going on here?" Annabelle asked in surprise.She could not just fathom what was going on, although she knew she was just about being kidnapped.Reuben held her hand and led the way back to the car, away from the sirens and the people who were being arrested. " What just happened here? Why is Louisa and that man being arrested? Who are those men? " Annabelle asked all at once." Let's sit in the car and speak for a bit.There are still a lot of things you need to know, " Reuben said as he unlocked the car with the remote.He opened the door for Annabelle to sit down and closed the door.He walked to the driver side and sat behind the steering, roaring the engine to life." I'm ready for the questions now, but before to ask, let me begin with narration," Reuben said as he drove out of the parking lot and out of the premises." I know you have a lot of questions. First of all, our date has not been canceled. We are on our way to a new restaurant.

So we are going there earlier, so we can monitor their movements, they should be there around 5pm, and we should get there about ten minutes before them.Everyone else is ready over there, and this should not take a long time.We will pull out quickly, " Jakes said.Louisa nodded.She was okay with the explanation and how things were go
