Chapter 1(The Man before the Tomb)
Right at the Madre Cemetery in Denor city, a man cladded on a thick black coat had his knee knelt before a tomb. It was raining but the standing soldiers had umbrellas covering him. “Rest in peace Naomi Meth” were the words that were meticulously carved on the tomb. “Rest in peace” he chuckled dryly and sadly, pain and fire etched in his eyes as he mumbled the well carved words on the lifeless stone. He waved his head in disappointment, and exhaled softly “Not yet nanny Naomi, not when those murderers are still breathing.” He heaved an odd smile as he tilted his head down before extending his hand in the air and a black hat was handed on to him by one of his men. Fully on his feet, he gulped his saliva and took a last glance at the desolate grave, “Until those murderers are down to the very last of them, you shall have no rest. I will be both God’s sword of justice and vengeance.” Redmond Red swore, his eyes and lips meaning every word that he enunciated while he took a last

The Bogeyman; the tale of a man and his death list Chapter 16(The Conniving Man)
“Grandpa, but…” “My decision is final, Ruth. You may not see it but this is for your own good.” Ruth’s once happy face immediately contorted into a fist of anger. She whined as she slumped to the sofa. “What is it, Ruth? Did Redmond hurt you?” Aunt Tana asked on entering the room, her face rubbed with confusion and shock. Behind her was Oliver, her only child. “No, Aunt Tana. Redmond can't do anything like that.” “What then will sour your mood this early when in reality you should be over the moon for being the person in charge of the collaboration with the Zinont Group?” Oliver asked with a light smile full of hope. Ruth's promotion has sent the family dreaming once again. It was clearly their way out of misery and mediocrity. “Oliver is right. Trivial things shouldn't get you all depressed my dear child. The light shines brightest on you. With this trajectory, it is certain you will be our heroine and will drag us out of…” “Arrrgh, that won't be happening anymore.” Ru

The Zinont Group has just cancelled every collaboration and deals with the New World Group. Latest from today; The New World Group has lost the majority of their shareholders. The Denor city law enforcement agency has confiscated millions of New World Group products. In their words, “Lacking in quality.” Four biggest banks in Denor city are out to recover their unpaid debts from New World Group. The notification kept popping out, one after the other. The bing sound from the notification didn't help matters either. It was so loud that he felt his ear drum peeling off at each turn. Jason stepped backwards in a haphazard manner and slumped to the couch. His face paled heavily while hot sweat formed on his forehead. He loosened the first three buttons of the first three buttons of his shirt as he sought for air. He couldn't believe it, his eyes blinking in quick succession as the notification kept popping. Sighting the quick change in his mood and body chemistry, Redmond knew t

Jason giggled fervently like a maniac on the loose, “Who is this guy? Why do you want to lose so badly?” Jason sounded like it was show time.He was more than motivated to go ahead with Redmond's favourable bet. It was what he wanted so dearly, an opportunity to show how powerful he is, a chance to remind the world how much power and influence his family wields.In his mind, there was no way the Zinont Group would be choosing them over his family company, the New World Group. The thought of it can't be conceived let alone applied.It was clearly a lost battle even before it began for Redmond. The expression on Ruth's face was a testament to that. “Was he giving up already? Is this it? The end of everything that looked beautiful and eternal?” Barricades of thought raced through her mind as she stared skeptically at him.To Ruth, this was just an easy way out for Redmond, shooting himself so badly because of his lack of options. “Please, don't leave me with this monster.” She cried as s

Their voices kept echoing in Arthur's defence. Each voicing their discontent on Ruth's and Redmond's attitude. There appeared like his soldier, ready to do anything for their General.Ruth smiled bitterly as she allowed their voices rain like acid rain on her. She didn't need anyone to tell her that it would have been a different case if she happened to be on the other side of the road. “Wasn't Arthur the one that conveniently laid the terms? Wasn't he the one that called out Redmond to dress and dance like a chicken, earlier?”She couldn't hide her disappointment. They were just useless fools who never ceased on any opportunity to impose their opinions on her just because of their ranks. They would do anything to be in Arthur's good book. They were nothing but a bunch of sycophants.“You should list….” Arthur stopped as Grandpa Bruce waved him off.“A bet is a bet.” Grandpa Bruce’s voice dropped like the hum of a dumbbell. He turned towards Arthur, with a straight face he said, “You

With his eyes and mouth wide open, the old man, Grandpa Bruce was forced to ask, “Did you just say that the contract is signed?”Grandpa Bruce leaned forward as he adjusted his goggles. Every Teleimans relative had their neck craned like that of Giraffes as they struggled to catch a glimpse of the said contract.They couldn't believe it, that Ruth and her so-called husband, a nonentity, has succeeded in sealing a deal that has eluded them. It was difficult to believe and come to this reality. It was like having the moon shining on daytime.The document right before them was enough to clear their doubts except of course, Arthur Teleimans, who refused to come into terms with the truth that kept begging to be seen.He was the only one unwilling to accept the new development. Accepting it will make him a loser, a loser again, a fucking chronic loser. Didn't he bet that he would bow to Redmond? The most devastating of all was losing his only hope to turn around the plummeting state of hi

“Did it work out? You don't look alright?” Redmond feigned ignorance of the situation on sighting Ruth approaching towards him. Her expression was blank like a white paper. She was still yet to recover from what transpired inside the Zinont Group building. She looked like someone one that had her dear life sucked out of her.She ignored him and grabbed his fabrics before extending her hand towards his jaw. Her face paled by shock. “This is real, this is all real.” She cried as she hugged him tightly. “I got it, Red. They gave me the contract.” She mumbled under her breath as she wrapped her hand tightly around him.“That's great news.”“It was easy, Red. So easy that at some point I felt like someone had already done the job for me.”“It doesn't matter at this point, what matters is that you did it.” She heaved a relieving smile. “This time, they will let us be for good.”Just then, Ruth's phone binged, notifying her of a message. It was the family's group chat. Arthur and his cahoot

“You were too aggressive back there. They deserved it but they are still family.” Ruth admonished with a soothing voice that was able to stretch its hands to Redmond's darkened heart.“Family? Then, you should be treated like one.” Redmond retorted with a plain face.She smiled heartily and stared deep into his eyes. “Is alright. I will take it from here. Just wish me luck.”“Again?”“Yeah, say those words to me again” She smiled heartily like a child as she waited for the killer word.Redmond’s eyes glinted in amusement, “Go and kill it.” He said and then both went their separate ways.Right at the sixteenth floor, the elevator door binged, signalling Ruth that she has reached her destination. On entering the building, she was welcomed by a receptionist, an average height and beautiful thick lady wearing a spectacle approached her.She immediately dropped a professional smile, subconsciously making Ruth do the same though hers was a bit more tense.“Hey, you must be Mrs Teleimans?”

Early in the morning, Redmond was already out to pick up Ruth to the Zinont Group. On his way, he noticed that he was being followed by an old fashioned cab. In a blink of an eye, he disappeared from the sight of the stalker leaving him dazed and speechless.“Have no one ever told you that it is wrong to spy on people, Denver.” Red’s voice echoed from the window rim, startling the stalker. Denver exhaled lightly, disappointment and guilt etched on his face. “Am sorry sir, but I just can't leave you alone. Allow me to stick around and I promise to remain invisible.” He pleaded, his eyes meaning every word.Denver has obeyed his commander by sending other soldiers back to the barracks, leaving them under the guidance of Leo but he has failed to stay behind. He just couldn't put himself together and allow his General to stay behind, alone.After what seemed like ages, Redmond finally spoke, “Ok, but what's it with the cab?” Denver heaved a big smile, “This is being invisible, sir.” Bot

“There is no party like Logan's party” This slogan has stuck in Denor city for seventy-eight years, since Logan's very existence. The Wade are one of the most powerful and influential families in Denor city. As a part of the Seven keys of Denor city, they were literally untouchable. Tonight, like every other Logan's party, celebrities, politicians, business men and privileged diginatries could be seen swarming in and out of the Wade luxurious mansion. Everyone had on themselves, costumes and masks. Outside the building were cars of different calibres, the majority being worth millions of dollars. Everyone was in the party for a reason, ranging from making necessary connections to finding favour in the eyes of Logan to having fun. The buildings were lurked with tight security especially the area where the heirloom is kept. “The Goblet of life, the last goblet used by Pharaoh himself, gifted by the Marshmallows.” “The Jaral Tea of Chiro. The last of its kind, a tea m
