"Is there something liquid in your bag ma'am. I'm thinking of carrying it without it bending." The porter said to Angela, and she shook her head immediately."No. There's nothing liquid. Uh, it's just… it's just some water. I don't drink water just anywhere. It gives me real stomach problems, so you see, I always take my own water with me wherever I go." She lied quickly, and the man looked at the bag as if envisioning lots of water in it. Finally, Angela got to her room, and the man dropped her bag carefully. She looked around at the things around the room, wondering if they were flammable. The curtains were heavy, and were pulled back to show a picturesque view of the city. In the the distance, she spotted a rolling stream, and her hands touched the large glass that acted as a wall and also a window.The bed was spread with sheets. One look at them, and she could tell they were also flammable. There were books on a shelf too. The perfect things to fuel a fire. There was a televis
Charles woke up, and was feeling much better as his health condition had improved, and he was now stable.It was only left for him to be discharged, which he had no idea when that would happen.He managed to sit up, and was still pained regarding the news of his buildings which were set on fire.“Just when I was down, you decided to strike. Whoever did this, will not go scott free.” Charles spoke out in anger.Then he picked up his phone, and a breaking news popped up on his phone.BREAKING NEWS: CHARLES LINCOLN'S JUST LAUNCHED SOLAR PANEL INDUSTRY HAS BEEN SET ON FIRE.Charles almost had a heart attack when he saw it. He quickly called James to be certain that he saw right.James’ phone only rang once before he answered it.“Did you see the news? Is it really true?” Charles questioned in disbelief.“I was about calling you, Charles. It's true. It must be the same person who burnt down the other building that did this one too. But you need to calm down.” James said, hoping it wouldn't
Charles' ears were at alert, and keen to hear what the cop had to say. He was so ready to deal with whoever was behind it.“It's Miss Angela, and Mr. Jefferson who sponsored the arsoners to work against your building.” The cop revealed, and a gasp of shock escaped my mouth.He couldn't believe that both of them would go to an extent of setting my buildings on fire. Why would they do that to me? Charles felt that even if they wanted to get back at him, they wouldn't get to that extent. Now, he knew how much those two hated him.“Alright, thanks officer. Please arrest them. There is no way they're going to go scot-free.”“Noted, sir.”Charles hung up and felt even better that he had found out the culprit, regardless of who they were. Then he began to make calls, fixing up investment deals with those who were more than ready to receive his investment.He needed to make those investments just so he would remain financially stable as he couldn't afford to keep losing.After spending the
James was on his way to a restaurant to eat, and he decided to play a little music to get him in high spirits.He got into his car, and turned on the music to a minimal level. While driving, he caught sight of someone he had known for a long time now, but he lost contact with her.“Hold on! Isn't that Amelia?” He squinted his eyes to be certain he was seeing right.He rubbed his eyes one more time to be certain, but she was the one. She looked so much like the Amelia he once knew, and she seemed to be waiting for a cab.James quivkly parked to one side of the lane, and got down from the car. He adjusted his clothes, and ensured he looked cool as he was walking up to her.Before he got to her, Amelia looked in his direction and screamed, happy to see him. She ran gently like a lady, and hugged him tight.“James, is this really you?” she exclaimed in surprise and awe of how he looked, and then James smiled.“It's me. You now look so gorgeous.”“Come on, drop it.” She giggled, and slappe
From that moment, James and Amelia hung out more often, and James ensured that it didn't affect his work for Charles or sort.He ensured he did all he was supposed to do, and never left any stones unturned. Today, they planned to go on an outing, and Amelia was really excited to go on an outing with him.Having so much fun with him was one of her dreams back then, which came true, now. If they told her that she was going to have James back into her life, and they were going to get close so quickly, she wouldn't believe it.“So, I hope you're ready for the big day?” James asked, feeling elated.“Of course! More than you could ever be.” Amelia teased. Amelia prepared breakfast for both of them, and they were enjoying quite the delicacy of a feast, literally. While having breakfast, they had so much to talk about, and they kept laughing about it like they were not going to stopThey were more like the kind of lovebirds which one would wish for.After breakfast, they got ready for their
Amelia stood up abruptly and walked outside, then James followed her to know what happened, and why her expression suddenly changed.“What’s going on, Amelia?” He asked, out of concern.“I… I need to get back to my hometown to settle something.”“What's that? Did something bad happen?” James asked, worried about Amelia.“You don't have to worry about it. I have to go now.” Amelia said as she turned, about to leave as fast as she could, but James held her back.“You have to speak to me. If it's that urgent, tell me when you're going to come back.” James said as he held her hand.Then Amelia calmed down, and looked into James’ eyes apologetically. “I don't know when I'll be back, James. I just don't know, but I'll definitely be back. Just let me go, right now.” Amelia said, staring into his eyes with affection.She didn't want to leave, but she had to, and she also had no intention to tell James what exactly was going on, as she planned to end the issue once and for all in her hometown.
Mr. Lincoln squeezed his face, annoyed by how Charles had hit the right spot. If he hadn't found the right word to use against him at this moment, he wouldn't have had to pay.“Alright, I'll pay.” Mr. Lincoln grudgingly agreed, and immediately paid for the premium card before anything important was done without him.They were all here for shares which all the influential men who were here, were interested in investing in, including Charles.They were interested in registering as a shareholder for the investment. “Alright, so you can all invest depending on how many percent of shares you want to attain.” The person who was put in charge to conduct this, spoke up.Charles had it in mind to attain all the shares completely, but as he checked the points he had, and converted them into money, they amounted to 3 million dollars.“Shit! Why did it have to be now?” He uttered in his mind.“Mr. Charles, how many percent of shares would you like to acquire?” The man asked, and Charles bit his l
Charles asked the driver to turn around immediately, and while his guards were baffled, and wondered what was going on, they had no choice than to stay calm.Charles was beginning to have different thoughts about what Angela had to say about the poisoning. He was beginning to suspect that he might have detained the wrong person.Although, he felt a bit excited about it not being the maid, because he really wanted to believe that she wasn’t the one who tried to eliminate his life for personal gains.As soon as he got to the station, they allowed him to see Angela, one on one.“So, this can make you rush over to the station to see me.” Angela scoffed, and smacked her lips. “Get straight to the point. You know about the poison. Speak!” Charles urged her, not ready to dilly-dally around.“Alright, actually, I thought about this deeply. I thought about what I could do to make you know that I have really changed, and deserve a second chance.”“So?”“I decided to confess of my wrong doings,
