The same day that Mr Joseph successfully signed a monetary agreement with the Hopkins Group of companies, the likes of Michael and Kelvin were in a serious meeting.Kelvin, who had earlier called Michael for some secret talk in Miss Olive's restaurant unknown to them, would be discussing his proposed business plots with him.“I am glad that you made it to this place and most importantly, I thank you for coming. (Kelvin passionately spoke, as he expressed his mind)You see, you are the only one who is closer to me after Armstrong, my best friend. But now that the invincible president of the company has silenced him, you and I must continue from where he stopped to have a lasting win”.Michael was silent for some minutes, as the anger of the current happenings weighed him down. For Michael, he would be willing to engage in any mission as long as he has a solid backup. Therefore, one of the persons he is looking up to is no other person but Kelvin."As you know this my friend; I am in to
That day was about to be over when George Hopkins was seen driven in a taxi by his best and most trusted driver.However, it was no longer a common thing for George to be seen in a casual environment since he was already used to it, especially with the intentions he had in mind.In the middle of darkness, a woman dressed in black stylistically entered the taxi where George was and after some minutes of silence, conversations blew the air."How far have you gone with the investigations?” George asked “I have been trying with the very best of my power to get tangible results for you” The woman responded“And what about Henry?” He asked“Henry is not as easy as you or anyone might think because he is a deadly rabbit. However, I can't say what I'm not sure against or concerning him”"In essence, you mean that you don't have any words for me concerning him?”"Yes, I don't”"Why?”"Because he is very deadly and if someone like me should keep an eye on him, it would be disastrous for
The next day before 6:30 a.m., trucks full of police personnel came after Michael, and while he woke up to prepare for work and the day's activities, his building was surrounded by armed officials“You are under arrest, Mr. Michael”Michael, who was surprised, inquired to know the reason for such and why he was in this act, his mind and thoughts were pierced by the realization of how shameful it would be for people to hear about his arrest."Can I know the reason for this sudden and unexpected visit?”He asked “I am very sorry to batch into your compound but we have been commanded by higher authorities to come for you”"Coming for me? To do what?”"You are being arrested for attempting murder against Matthew Hopkins. Therefore you are advised to remain silent as whatever you say or do would be used against you in a court of law” The officer informed Michael, who was still on his knicker and wearing a t-shirt, was immediately handcuffed from the back. And while he was still trying to
George Hopkins on the other hand, visited his grandfather Mr Hopkins at the hospital why he got there, he was in a mask and escorted by police and other security personnel because he didn't want anyone to interfere in his peace and affairs."My son, you've changed a lot” Mr Hopkins speaks, as he observes George's looks"You think so, sir?” George asked"You are no longer the person I used to know”“I don't understand you sir” George responded in pretense."You seem to possess different attitudes, as you know the kind of character that you would display. The last time you came here, you were different and now, you are putting on a mask and wearing a black suit”“I understand your fears, sir. But you don't need to be troubled about me”"So, can you tell your grandfather the kind of games you are playing?”Mr. Hopkins asked teasingly"The game I am currently playing was never planned for, but the situation I found myself in warrants me to apply them” George responds"You still don't want
George went home happily and sad. He was happy on the ground that his grandfather was now okay and had been discharged, and sad on the ground that an appeal from the same person to release Armstrong came.George after taking back his rightful position in the company, and seeing how corruption was prospering, vowed to silence the voices of bad influence irrespective of who the person is and by doing this, he also vows to stand and represent good corporate ethics that would be used as an example to other businesses.He is doing this simply to restore the past glory of the Hopkins group of companies since she was supposed to be a mentor to every single company in the country and the continent.However, the current request from his grandfather would pose a serious threat to his ethical ideologies which would make his workers and all those in the corporate world who were looking up to him faint; nevertheless, he still believes in his veto powers and authority but would not still wish to vi
George after having a successful meeting on the case of Armstrong with his executives, the story progresses to the next phase that would see him and Michael in a better understanding. However, in all this, George would strive to make sure he becomes the champion in the game.Four hours after all this, Michael was seen sitting down and watching a television program in his mansion, when he got a call from an unknown number. Meanwhile, before this, he was in deep thought as he had yet to understand or verify the reasons why the invincible president would immediately release him from the hands of the police. He wondered why the person he plans to kill changed his previous intention of sending him to the law court. He was indeed yet to know the kind of game that was being presented at his doorstep.He picked up his phone and saw a private number. He was skeptical about it and refused to answer. A few seconds later, the private number was on the line again and by this time, he was summoned
He picked up his call to hear Kelvin shouting angrily at him“I have been calling you since twenty minutes ago and was constantly told that your line was busy. I called several times before now and there was no response. What is happening? Is there something I Should Know?”“Oh! My good friend, I am very sorry for putting you through such experiences(He speaks, why the music continues). I am currently in my home eating, drinking, and dancing” Michael responded as he informed Kelvin of the celebrating state he was in.“Was that the reason why you didn't see my calls? What if it was an urgent matter?”“I am sorry dear. I just saw your call. So, can we proceed? What is the current state of our game?” Michael asked.“I want you and I to meet this night in the usual place where we do meet, and please, be fast about it. We have many things to talk about” Kelvin informed“I understand you, my friend. I will be there before our usual time” He happily responds, as he continues with his dancin
That night was over, as both friends had a wonderful and pleasing time together.What impressed them the most, was the current news of Armstrong's release. However, their joy would be crowned on the very night they would meet him again since he had told them the secret place where they would all gather together and discuss.The next day appeared to be colorful, as it had promised before now, to be a special day for Michael.Today, destiny intertwines with fate, and no one can define what the outcome would look like except for one man who has been very calculative as he knows the various buttons and codes he uses to play his game. And that man is George Hopkins, who was determined to break the bone of his enemies through a planned psychological orchestration.That morning, Michael with a humble appearance unlike before, when he did appear pompous and braggadocious, came to the company to discharge his normal work as usual.When he appeared in the office, different managers were staring
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
