George also remembered his days with Georgia. He remembered how he was humiliated by Georgia, Kelvin, and Sophia. He was not happy after those thoughts came to him. He immediately changed his countenance, because his experiences with them were a painful one.In fact, if it was possible, he wouldn't have remembered such, but he was betrayed by his thoughts and since his last experiences with them have left a scar on his face, he has no other choice but to digest them.That day to him was precious since it was his birthday and also Georgia's. He had been stressed out and disappointed by his boss that day for not completing his monthly wages for him. However, for him to fulfill his promise to Georgia, his former girlfriend, he buys a gift with the last cent he has just to make her happy at her birthday ceremony.Meanwhile, on getting there, things changed for bad but to George currently, it was for good. He got to her birthday ceremony only to discover a painful exit in his relationship
George who is now prepared to execute the next move in his mind after returning from the realm of remembrance, prepared himself and quickly went out in an escort of security personnels and some educationist that has been waiting for him since over two hours.He was then driven with them to Mrs Janet home and once he got there, their story changed for life.George indeed, is a good friend who can never forget a good deed that was done unto him. It was time for him, according to him, to say a big thank you to Mrs Janet and her husband.“You are welcome into our humble home Mr George” Mrs Janet husband, Anthony spoke to him“Thank you very much, Mr Anthony”“Of what visit do my household owe you today? Or have you come to arrest us and send us to our early doom?” He spoke in a playful manner“Ahh, why do you say such a thing? Do I look like one who has come to arrest you and your family?” George responded playfully“I don't know, but you know, you are the richest man in this city and th
Chapter Fifty- Eight.Mrs Janet and her entire family were greatly excited for the good things that came to their hands unexpectedly, through George.Naturally, it came as a result of their compassion towards him, when he was previously a misfortuned man.Importantly, her two kids,thanked George for what he has done for them and apart from the educational benefits and the check of $5 million that was being given to them, George showered her children with lots of gifts,ranging from ice cream, sweets, biscuits, clothings and toys.After he was done with them, he left them excitedly in the stream of joy. He was then driven to his grandfather's house, Mr Hopkins; to engage him with some discussions that is of necessity.Infact, the bedrock of their discussion would be the center of all events on all that has happened and the reason for its cause.For long, George seems to be chasing Shadows but not until he returned from the realm of remembrance, that he knew the right door to follow
After spending time in the upper room, where he went to visit his grandmother, he took the next step by going to the cemetery that is close to the Banana Island and whille he was on his way going while being escorted by his escorts, he received a phone call from one of his secret spy“Hello Do, what's the problem?”“Mrs Janeth and her entire family, has been abducted by some group of gun men”“What! what are you saying? I just left them some minutes ago”“I know boss. The gun men became successful with their job, just few minutes after you left but nevertheless, I have sent men against them and we are currently keeping track with them”“That's good, that's good(George spoke as he shakes his head) Please, make sure that those family are safe. I won't be happy hearing that they were hurt”“No issues boss. We shall bring them back”After their call, George became tensed up, as he became angry that his enemies were still following him behind wherever place he went. He understand now tha
George after discussing with Don, and was now sure that Mrs Janeth and her family have been rescued, his mind was now uplifted.He took a break from several thoughts and decided to rest his body on the bed. Meanwhile, he has ordered the police to keep his friends with them until he arrives. He was happy that his own team for the first time, has fought a good fight by rescuing his friends from the hands of the gun men.This was achievable, due to the protocols of his security intelligence.According to his protocol, anywhere that George steps foot on; some group of secret spies must watch over that environment for five hours before retrieving back.Thus immediately he left Mrs Janeths compound, these gun men attacked and why they were moving with their captives in a van, some secret spies that were led by Don; Georges secret devil, chased after them.They did not just chase after them but also involved the police network that were in alliance with George and after conducting a joint
Without any trace of doubt, George knew that those three dudes were capable of doing such and so, he was not surprised to hear that they were the brains behind the abduction.After he was told everything by the police officer, George pleaded with them not to get the three suspects involved.George wanted the case to still be a secret until he was done with them. The police people were aware that George was consistently watching Armstrong, Kelvin, and Michael for a long time now and any means of informing them of today's mission failure, would counteract George's plan.Thus, they agreed to keep it a secret and even took it as an advantage for them to press on with a detailed investigation.George went home smiling, as his heart was full of joy. He is beginning to understand some hidden mysteries concerning the unpleasant auras surrounding him and while he was in his bedroom, he spoke with Mr Anthony and his entire family, consoling them for what has happened today.He promised them th
George after speaking with Dr Kingsley, who has revealed the cause of his late parents death, ordered him to seal up every information concerning them.He made sure that their bodies were preserved in the laboratory until the right time that they would be re-buried. He intended to use their corpses and the result of the autopsy as evidence.He then ordered some intelligence officers to start secret investigations on the cause of his parent's death for proper documentation and evidence's sake.However, the next day was a different one as it would appear to be less friendly for Michael. That day was a public holiday in the country whereby no worker was expected to visit his or her workplace except for an emergency reason.That day, the scene captured Michael and Sophia in the parlor as they were making every necessary plan for their forthcoming marriage.Sophia was more interested in the wedding gown she would put on that day, while Michael was more interested in making sure that; that
The meeting finally came to an end and every other manager and attendee of the meeting was happy except Michael, who confronted Henry to explain the meaning of the drama that just happened“Honestly, you should know that I have no hand in this. Even me myself here, I am currently in confusion because I don't know the next updates that would be released by the invisible president” Henry spoke to him, as they were seen conversing with themselves in a hidden corner that was distant from others “But at least, you should have defended my interest. I know that you and me hardly associate but for our common good sake, you should have spoken for me before the invincible president” Michael angrily informed“I understand how you are feeling right now but my friend, you need to understand that I have no say before the invisible president. He is not a man that easily accepts advice or any form of appeal from anyone. He wakes up one morning and does whatever interests him. I am surprised that h
The president Harryson,after hearing from Miss.Olive,was not convince whether she would properly handle the case just as she promised. According to the president,if a person like George was been capable of being hurt successfully, then,there is no safe person in the country. Thus, while Miss. Olive handle the situation on ground,the president also informed the country's security to look into the matter. The situation was really a pathetic one in the country,that brought the hearts of many wailing and mourning. They wished that it was another person that should be abducted,and not George. George's grandparents Mr.and Mrs.Hopkins,were greatly saddened about the news. Apart from them having feelings for him like they should,they were also, been worried about the state of the 'Hopkins Group of company because once George is defeated,the company's pride and strength,will also be defeated. The next day at exactly 6:30am,police and many other security personnel a,filled Henry's environmen
Finally,the mysteries of all events in and out of Georges life,was gradually coming to an end. He has been justified by the law court and before everyone,that he is not guilty of all offence that was leveled against him.Both him and the general public,felt pity for Armstrong,Kelvin, Michael and Sophia based on the 40 years judgement that was passed against them,by the court. But the truth remains that there is nothing anyone else, could do about it because the truth has been exposed and justice has been executed..George after spending several days in his mansion,as he was deeply feeling for them,decided to move out with only two of his escorts,to purchase new vehicles. His wedding with his lover'Miss. Olive’, was just there days away from now,and he wanted to appear great on that day.He wanted every of his materials on that day,to be newly purchased. He has suffered a lot. Suffered in the hands of family members, external personels,and in the hands of love and so,he promised himsel
The shocking revelation reverberated through the wood-paneled walls of the courtroom, evoking a collective gasp. Already charged with financial crimes, Kelvin Armstrong's friend, and Sophia now faced even more serious charges: planning the deaths of George's parents. A mixture of astonishment, incredulity, and sick interest cracked the air.With a stern resolve on his face, George sat in the front row, silently finding strength in Olivia's hand. The realization tore up old scars; it was a reality he'd always suspected but never verified. In spite of the years of lying, justice was finally at hand, and a glimmer of grim delight appeared in his eyes among the wave of misery.The prosecution painstakingly put together the horrific reality, buoyed by a pile of recently discovered evidence. They revealed a story as contorted as the coil of a serpent. It was discovered that Sophia and George's father, Jethro, had been having a covert affair. Driven by a desire for vengeance and a cunning
The news that Kelvin Armstrong, friend, and Sophia had been detained by Russian officials sent a shockwave over the world's news networks. Those who were acquainted with the Armstrong name and their complex web of deception shuddered at this unexpected turn of events.The world was aware of Russia's tense ties with the West. The country strongly defended its own, and there was widespread mistrust of any alleged outside meddling. When it came to those who were thought to pose a danger to national security or had a hint of Western influence, they weren't beyond breaking the law. Because of this, Russia came to be seen as an unbreakable fortress that was beyond the reach of the long arm of international law. Russia's borders provided commanders and others in legal difficulties in the West with a safe haven and a shelter from responsibility.But this time, circumstances were different. There was a lot of guesses in the news reporting. The vast Russian countryside seemed to be being swep
Excitement was in the air as George took in the lavish ballroom. The long tables were covered in soft white tablecloths and beautifully placed flower arrangements, all bathed in a warm glow from the sun streaming through the large windows. It was just a few days away from his wedding to Olivia, the lady who made his life brighter again.For the first time in ages, George had a true feeling of calmness descend over him. All of the hardships of the previous several months, including the conflict with Armstrong and Mr. Joseph's slander campaign, appeared to take a backseat. Olivia had been his defence through the storm, her unfailing support and contagious optimism.Now he watched her, her dazzling smile lighting up the room as she spoke to the wedding coordinator about the finishing details. She looked stunning and happy, wearing a flowing white dress that provided a sneak peek at her wedding gown. Wordless affection filled George's heart to overflowing. He was eager for them to beg
Tension boiled in the air when Georgia's father, Mr. Joseph, padded into the courtroom. He seemed pale and wan, a long cry from the gregarious businessman he had previously been. His relationship with Armstrong, particularly in the defamation campaign against George, had forced him to confront the repercussions of his deeds.Under Ms. Davis, George's attorney,'s stern glare, Mr. Joseph moves uneasily and restlessly while seated at the defense table. Ms. Davis, a strong lady renowned for her piercing wit and unshakable commitment to her clients, did not take long to present her case."Mr. Joseph," she said in a loud and crisp voice, "you stand accused of collaborating with the notorious Daniel Armstrong to make up a defamatory documentary about my client, Mr. George Hopkins."The overweight attorney representing Mr. Joseph, whose face was always strained, cleared his throat. "Your Honour," he shot back. "Mr. Joseph was only acting based on facts he thought to be accurate. He was unawa
Still, a little bit of doubt gnawed at the margins of George's newly determined determination. Even when the obligations were paid off, a feeling of justice was still unsatisfied. There was a simmering sense that his uncles, now free men again, still had the capacity to cause problems. Yes, they were reprimanded, but leopards don't completely alter their spots. George still had a secret weapon in his sleeve—an ace that would eventually bring them to ruin. They may pretend to be sorry or show signs of humility, but he would see right through them. He was aware that their desire for riches and power persisted, like a ticking time bomb ready to go off.Meanwhile, another type of tension simmered in the air behind the antiseptic walls of the military jail. Seated opposite his imprisoned son Armstrong was a haggard man with a haunting expression in his eyes: Mr. Daniel Armstrong's father. The older Armstrong's eyes filled with tears, and the harsh fluorescent light glinted off them. Shame
The military prison facility's impersonal white walls made Armstrong feel insignificant. The luxurious furnishings and soft carpeting from his former confinement cell have vanished. Here, concrete was king and the sole decoration was a single fluorescent bulb that flickered and gave him a sickly, ugly glow.His thoughts were filled with the picture of Mrs. Janeth's stern glare, a terrifying reminder of his demise. In his isolation, bitterness was a continual companion, eating away at him. That George, his own cousin, had turned him in was beyond shocking to him. It brought back memories of a carefree, youthful period of life. George, beaming and teasing, the familial tie appearing indestructible. But that George was long dead, long since replaced by a man whose sense of justice and duty had hardened him. When Armstrong was originally discovered engaging in questionable activities directed against the Hopkins Group, which was led by George's father at the time, pardon had been grante
The sound of gunshots reverberated around the deserted warehouse. Mrs. Janeth huddled behind a stack of boxes, her heart a frenzied drum solo on her ribs. Angry lights shooting from across the room revealed dust motes dancing in the air. George's security system, a well-oiled apparatus refined for just these kinds of circumstances, was engaged in a vicious dance with Armstrong's men.The sharp sting of cordite and the metallic flavour of gunpowder filled the air. Mrs Janeth heard bullets squeak past her head and sink into the corrugated metal walls with a horrible thud. The guttural roar of automatic guns and the anguished screams of the injured broke the staccato pattern of firing.Colonel Petrov and his tactical battalion proceeded with well-honed precision across the large, open area. Their motions were lethal and precise, like those of ghosts in the shadows. Their guns fired in short, deliberate bursts that quickly and precisely neutralised Armstrong's soldiers. The sound of metal
