Edward felt proud for the show of inspiration he displayed in his speech as he walked down the pulpit.
The shouts and applause he got fueled his ego more as he was sure something good would definitely happen.He could feel the happiness of the audience and the eagerness in them.The time ticking is evident of his show of popularity and pride he had towards their upcoming innovation but the look on Zach his assistant's face wasn't cheering at all.He walked up to him as the people cheered him along, he motioned him to a more silent place as the people continued with their chitchatting."What's with the face?""There's a problem sir, a real one to be honest" Zach answered,"What problem? Are the guests not coming?" Edward gasped. That was the worst he was expecting."Sir! If it's to be the guests issue it would have been good. A more terrible thing is it…" Zach brought out his phone as he opened his social media h"Leave? What's the leaving for?" Alex muttered,"I don't have a good premonition of what would happen next! The doctor could be an accomplice to the threat we're experiencing" Richard answered.Priscy nodded her head slightly feeling what Richard is saying."Alex! I think it's true. We gotta leave here like Richard said. We did not know the doctor from any corner, it was the hotel management that prescribed him to us. We could be in danger by doing so" Priscy added,"So, what are you insinuating now…" "Simple! We gotta leave this place in a hurry. I'm sure Talbot would motion his men to be on the lookout for us and you know what that means'' Alex added,Alex gave a deep sigh as he walked out of the room leaving the two to do their thing.Priscy and Richard focused their gaze on Anthony where he laid, he was getting thinner and leaned by every passing second. "How are we going to do this?I'm still not strong en
"I never really thought you'd love to meet with me again, Master" "This is no time for frivolities, I need you up for something real quick Julius…" Edward snapped, making Julius give a slight chuckle."Oh! Seems my energy is needed more. Now, that you've lost your so-called auction…" Julius replied,Edward squeezed his face at the tone Julius spoke with him with. He had never spoken to him in such a manner before and it made Edward wonder where he's got the nerves to speak with him in such a manner."Seems like someone is really baffled about the situation of things…" Julius giggled, adjusting the dark goggles on his face."Julius! Listen, I need you for something real urgent… You gotta drop someone for me real quick…" Edward snapped, pissed off by his attitude."Ohhhh!!!" Julius laughed sarcastically, infuriating Edward the more."You should have thought of our next operation together when you embarrassed me out the last time… Did you know the scorn I went through? You know how I su
Rapid knocks rapped Edwards door as he jerked up quickly…"Who the fuck is that?" He yelled,He did not know when he drifted off to sleep with his preoccupied mind."Its… it's Chadwick sir," the person said,"I saw your message sir, you sent for me."Edward grumbled slightly and stood up from the bed. He walked towards the door loosening his belt."You can come in…" He turned the door knob,"Good evening sir…" Chadwick greeted, closing the door behind him."Chadwick!!" Edward called, giving a slight smile."Seems you're not taking my job serious… I haven't gotten a feedback from you.." Edward replied, giving a slight frown.Chadwick gave a slight bow as he looked up to Edward."Not that sir… The company's new update is really hindering something's for real sir and it has kept me glued to my workspace sir…" Chadwick replied,"Kept you glued to your workspace that you forgot something that has gave you your identity… Chadwick!!" "I'm sorry, you know for sure that prying into another ma
"Who the fuck is that again?" He snapped,"Honey pie. It's me!" A voice rang aloud, and the door opened"Richard Gabriel!. What the fuck! Edward exclaimed, as he adjusted himself on the bed."Who is Richard Gabriel… I heard you mention your nemesis" Camila said, walking close to him.Edward bowed his head slightly, his mind was beginning to play pranks with him.He looked up to see Camila…"Camilla!!" He called out, softly.He stood up and clung to her like a baby…"Who is Richard Gabriel?" She asked again,"Richard Gabriel? Did I mention any name of such.." Edward asked, resting his head on her shoulders."Yes baby… Are you good? You look really tense. Is there a problem?"Edward thought whether to confide in her but eventually discarded the thought knowing that his wife is someone who really could not keep secrets."Chadwick just annoyed me…" he lied,"Oh! Probably that's why he wants to see you. He said you sent him out annoyingly, but he still needs to tell you something though…"
The officer exclaimed seeing Anthony's with oxygen pinned to his face."Ohh!! What the heck" he exclaimed,He turned around trying to see if he's lifeless or not.Alex did a quick prayer for him not to be implicated cuz he knew the officer would not let him go so easily. It seems the heaven was on his side as the prayer got answered.He sighted Richard and Priscy driving from the lane opposite him from afar, they flashed their headlamp to him.The officer was just getting to Anthonys side when Alex ignited the engine. Not waiting for the officer's next move, he stepped on the accelerator.“Hey! Wait up’ The officer screamed, as Alex almost collided with the cop car.He swerved the steering wheel to the next lane signaling to RIchard to follow suit.The officer quickly hopped into the car speaking into his walkie talkie, “Code red, Code red. We’ve got an incoming Bentley 112 along the Lexus lane. order. Order”Alex glanced at the back and saw the officers car chasing after them, he kne
"Dad!! Where the fuck are we going to.. you haven't answered me since I asked we drove out…" Lawrence lamented, turning over to Edward.Edward paid less attention to him, swerving the car across several routes.He defiled the traffic signals most times and sped across the road."Dad … you're still not talking, you gotta say something Dad. We can't keep moving when Linda's life is on the line" Lawrence snapped,"More reasons why you gotta keep shut and let me think…" Edward fired,After driving for over thirty minutes, Edward eventually brought the car to a halt in a popular night club.Lawrence was surprised at the location. The next thing he hoped for was a clubhouse.He would have preferred it on a normal day, but his current state did not allow for such pleasure.Edward took a deep sigh as he switched the engine off."Fuck it! I never wanted to do this father. Talbot made me." Edward whispered,He eventually got out of the car and adjusted his clothes.Lawrence came down after him,
"What the fuck do you mean you can't stand against Talbot, thought you signed an allegiance with my father to always be on my side whenever…." Edward burst out,"Of course, we signed it but not at the expense of our own safety. We owe ourselves too dude…" Adams snapped,Edward wanted to give an outrageous reply when a message came into his phone and it beeped,He unlocked his phone and checked through it,The message he saw shook him to his marrow, and he shivered.He looked up to the men in fear and then balanced his gaze on Lawrence.Lawrence looked at him back with an expression as if to ask what it is."Linda was dumped somewhere…" Edward whispered,"Huh…" the trio gasped in unison."What do you mean?" Neo was the first to speak.Edward handed the phone over to him by himself and he read the message for himself."No!!!..." Adams exclaimed, "Talbot made her go by himself.."Just gahg instant a video message came into his phone and Neo handed the phone back to Edward while he played
"Hold on.. hold on," Hannah ran after him, and held him back"We can't go to the bother lands now, it'll be shut and besides you're aware going there puts our life at risk, something might go wrong…"James held Hannah by her shoulder, staring deeply at her face."Nothing is wrong, the premonition I'm having currently is crazy, I just feel I really have to go there…" he said,Hannah shaked her head negatively, "Listen, you're just feeling it. It's not something thats bound to happen, the mencers must not discover us there…"James insisted, and still proceeded towards the door."They're performing a rites currently and that's the reason for the rainfall… going out to those consecrated part might bring about untold punishment if you're caught…" hannah stated,"More punishment is losing a loved one at the stance of a foolish rites…"With that James dashed out, covering his head with a huge jacket as the rain trickled down softly.Hannah sighed deeply, moving to the window as she watched
