As Richard attempted to pull the trigger, he felt a hard hit on his head and he fell beside Lawrence groaning with pain. The pain was so sharp that stream of fresh tears flowed freely from his eyes. Now he was bleeding from two different places, his head and his upper arm. "Guess who has joined me in my agony," Lawrence laughed. "Shut up your big mouth," Ken fired. "I still have my gun with me." "That?" Lawrence said pointing at the gun which had flown out of his hand and was now lying on the floor. Knowing what Lawrence was talking about he tried hard to get up and get the gun. But before he could do that, a familiar hand-picked the gun up from the floor. It was Danxo. At this, Ken knew that there was trouble. "Well! well!! well!! What do we have here? You guys have made the job easier for me. Ken is a spy from Richard who also knows the missing heir's whereabouts. And Williams's friend who has something against him and you also have some thing that can help your friend's ene
Ken walked away from from Lawrence who stared at him with amazement. What exactly he was up remained a mystery to him which he knew would not stand the test of time. Ken stepped out of the room and headed for Judith, placing his foot carefully on the floor to avoid making any sounds and thereby attracting unnecessary attentions. When he got into the kitchen, he noticed Judith stamping her foot Impatiently on the titled floor. That said it all, she must be waiting for Ken to come with the details of the oppression, Ken Interpreted. But she would meet the greatest disappointment of her life. Immediately Judith saw him, life drained out from her face as her outer skin contracted. The mission had gone all gone and her life was now under a great threat. "What are you doing here," she inquired. "To put an end to what I started," Ken replied. "Not when I am still alive," "Do you think you can stop me?" Ken inquired. "The end will tell," Judith replied. Swiftly, she took two kn
It was a blessed evening. The still sailing trees danced to the drums of the still wind and the evening bird carried its melodious tune on its wings. Victoria returned from the party exhausted. It was one of the happiest day of her life cause for the first time, things were going out just as planned. She just hoped nothing terrible happened. This hope was bred on the terrible dreams she had been having lately. Dreams that were difficult for her to comprehend but whatever they were they were about her and her wedding ceremony. In one of the dreams, she got to the venue of the ceremony but no one was there, not even Williams. In another, she saw herself in court and Richard was the judge. She was trying hard not to believe in the myth of dreams having extra-territorial powers but she was scared. Her dreams always became a reality. She was scared that these reoccurring nightmares would come to reality and she would be left with nothing. And the family would hate her. "No, that can't
At Davis Armstrong Villa. When the party was over, Lawrence quickly returned home while Ken resumed his duties with the other servants who were cleaning up the Villa and all the partying. Meanwhile the two dead bodies had not been discovered. Ken had written a note in Judith's handwriting indicating that she had to leave the Villa for some important emergency and nobody cared to inquire from the gate security officers if she actually left the Villa without appropriate authorization. Although she was tagged a non-restricted memner of the Villa, the only servant with such privilege apart from Danxo. Nobody thought anything was amiss. But it was strange for the master of the kitchen to leave without any pre-information. Williams was the brain work behind this weird calm. He had informed the servants to stay calm and that everything would be under control. Once the duo returns, they would be severely punished. But instead of going to the security guards who weren't aware of the recen
The system was designed to boot only at the command of Williams. Immediately Williams said the word, it the booting process began. Williams and Joshua looked into each other eyes again. A crucial moment had come where all their doubts would be clear and this was that time. When the noticed had booted, Williams came before it and started scrolling for what they needed, something to confirm all their doubts and it was not long before he got it. The scene stood out naturally from other scenes. Immediately, he got what he needed, he signaled to Joshua who peered into the screen of the monitor and, watched all the scenes together with their mouths opened in amazement. While they were busy partying, a lot was going wrong in the Villa. When the scene's display ended, Joshua stared into Williams's eyes. "I still don't believe this," he finally spoke out. "For the first time in my life, I am also doubting my eyes and my ears," Williams replied. "Then there is only one way to find out,"
While the event at the Villa was going on, Lawrence had his plans. He sat on the soft bed in the room about to get his phone. He was exhausted after all he witnessed that day at the Villa and his body still ached from all the beating even after taking the pain-relieving drugs prescribed by his doctor. He unlocked his phone and Joshua and William's voice began to stream out from it. Before he got to the party that day, he had requested for the most secure and trickiest way to get a highly private security information. That was a tiny square chip that could transmit voice notes a few kilometers from afar. And before the party, he had secretly attached it to the cloth Lady Tashia gave Williams for the party. As per the people's culture, he was expected to were that cloth for a period of forty-eight hours but unknown to him, he would be walking around with a highly concealed voicemail transmission device. But he was warned the device would give a warning sign when it's close to a much
The next morning, Lawrence was already at his aunt's place, it was a very little house since Lawrence could not build a bigger place for her because it would rise the people's suspicion. His aunt was really old and walked with the aid of a walking stick. Though her skin was already falling apart, she still looked beautiful with her bleached white hair and her toothless mouth. When Lawrence's aunt's nanny brought his breakfast, he was fast asleep. He couldn't sleep throughout that night and he just fell asleep so the nanny allowed him to rest. On the other side of the country, Ken had decided to come with Lawrence after a long but successful persuasion section. But the problem now was that, how would he leave the Villa before Williams would return to the Villa and send him on the death errand? He could wait for that time, it would be impossible for him to escape. Before the Villa got to this state where everybody was now a vigilant security officer, it was difficult to escape from t
Slowly, Ken turned around only to find a sleepwalking guard. A few minutes later, he fell to thy floor. Ken placed his hand on his chest gasping for breath and his heart pounded heavily. He had thought it was all over. He drew the gate open after imputing the passcode on the card. He had gained his freedom. But this wasn't freedom to him, it was cowardice. He was running away from his enemies just to buy himself more time. But one thing he knew, he must return. "I will come back and by then, I will not flee again," he vowed and walked into the gardened Davis Armstrong street. However, Williams and Joshua unaware had went to visit the huge man assigned to watch him. Williams wore his traditional matrimonial clothes. The meeting had been scheduled at an abandoned building. The three men stood adjacent to each other. "You haven't been doing the job we paid you for," Williams began. "You didn't pay me to keep an eye on him in his room," Roger returned. "Guys there is no need to fi
Lawrence stood there as more large lumps went down his spine like large stones thrown down into a rusty tunnel and cold shivers ran down his spine. He stared into the man before him, staring at him with an evil smile hovering on his face and he felt like tearing that smile away from his dark face. "Just walked into your trap, did you?" Divo said to Lawrence. "I knew that this was the perfect bait to get you," he added to what he had earlier said. "I knew that something was you walked passed us the other day," Lawrence whispered out loud still shaking with great fear and trembling like a little child about to be locked away in a dark scary room. "But how were you able to find out that I had caught you?" Lawrence thought aloud. At this, Divo stepped towards him while he gradually moved backward, and at a point, he stop and shot a glare at Lawrence. "Well let us say I just got to know that you were spying on me from the way you stared at me that day when I walked by that day. I was
Richard shivered hard with fear and cold shivers ran down his spine as the first set of whips created bold lines on his body. The whips felt like a surge of electric current all around him and he shivered hard at their effect. He wanted to scream out due to the pian as little drop of tears escaped from his eyes but he was able to restrain himself. "Don't cry Richard, you have to be strong," he said to himself. "You think you are strong right, we will see how long you will be able to hold on to this," Gerald said with a hateful glare hanging on his face. "Whip," another whip landed on Richard's head making him groan in pain. "Hmmm," Richard groaned in pain."Such a harden fool," Mrs. Luci gasped angrily. "Why don't you just do what you are asked to and cut shot your pain?" Rachael gasped irritated by his self-acclaimed endurance. "I can no longer take this," Richard said to himself. Richard lifted his head and his eyes met with Victoria's. She didn't even show the slightest
"It is a great suggestion but we cannot deny the fact that I am married to someone," Victoria returned almost immediately. Mrs. Luci turned towards Victoria the very instant she heard what her daughter just threw out of her mouth and she shot a glare at her. "Do you even enjoy living with that slut?" Mrs. Luci inquired trying hard to control a total outburst since Victoria was the center of attraction there. Victoria sighed inwardly, she might sometimes act like she hated Richard passionately but it was still worth it seeing him around. The fact was just that most of the time, her disgust for him and hatred always overshadowed her soft heart toward him. "Did you even hear what I just said?" Mrs. Luci inquired snapping her off her thoughts. "It's not that mum. You don't seem to get the point that I am trying to make here. The problem is not with me, it's with Richard," Victoria replied quickly. "How? Does he have a say in a matter like this?" Mrs. Luci inquired. "He doesn't b
On that fateful Saturday morning, the morning that was going to decide Richard's and Victoria's finally state as it concerned their martial life, Victoria sat on the sofa in the living room, chatting with a friend on her phone and gradally sipping freshly squeezed orange juice. Meanwhile, Richard went about the daily business in the house. His hands, his feet and every part of his body ached bad but he just couldn't stop. Then, the doorbell rang twice and Victoria Rose from the sofa to scream Richard's name. "Richard..." She yelled at the top of her voice. Immediately Richard heard her name, she came running up to her like a little child to his wicked step aunty. When he got to her, his racing face was covered with sweat and he could hardly breathe. "You called me," he said in between trying hard to catch his breath. "I know I called you dummy," Victoria thundered. "Didn't you hear that someone rang the doorbell?" She growled at him. "Oh! I was busy inside," Richard noted and
Kindsley pulled his eyes away from the gun on the table laying the far end and returned his gaze to Lawrence. He might have informed somebody that he was going to find out about this ID. He knew that Lawrence was never the perfect person for an investigation team, so he might be working alongside with somebody who might smell something fishy immediatelys he gets missing."There is nothing wrong with card," Kinsley said quickly and returned the card back to Lawrence. "Are you sure?" Lawrence inquired with his eyes narrowed. He could not believe that the card was geniue, it was just too good to be true. "I think you did inspect it enough," Lawrence added. "Nah, I did all that inspection. The card is very much genuine," Kinsley revealed. "But..." Lawrence tried to oppose but Kinsley stopped him immediately. "I know why you are suspicious. It's the unque background of the card which is owned by a very high standing company," Kingsley revealed. "But I must say that you had a very
Lawrence stared at them with his heart divided against itself. His was left in such a dilemma that he shivered hard and his hearte ran cold. "What should I do now, Should I tell them or not?" multiple thoughts sprang up from his head. He drew a deep breath and decided not to inform them about it . He was going to get enough proof to make them believe that the ID card was perfectly forged. Lawrence slipped the ID card into his pockets as silently as he could and continued to stare at them as if nothing had happened at all. "I think we will have to go now and continue with our investigations," Ken announced. "Thanks for your massive help and cooperation," he appreciated warmly."You are welcome, anything for my boss's friends," she replied with a warm smile hanging on her face. Ken and Lawrence turned to leave immediately while Lawrence's heart continued to pound against his chest. "How am I going to prove my point to this dummy," he thought. He continued to think and finally
Tina continued to stare at him, her heart torn apart against itself. But she certainly could not go against the instructions of her boss, she would have to seek his consent first. "I will have to arrange a meeting with you and the manager, if he decides otherwise, I will have no say, but if accepts your proposal, I will send the proposed date to you," Evelyn explained. "We are very sorry for the inconveniences this might cause you," Evelyn regretted all she just said. Divo grinned at her with his anger stepping up gradually to his neck. He could not believe that this stupid company wanted him to return there. "Who does this fool thinks he is? Whoever this proud slut is, he is certainly worth eliminating and I will do it with great pleasure in my heart," he thought angrily. "What do you mean by all this you are saying," he thundered at Evelyn. "It's our company's policy, you can't see the manager until he requests to see you," Evelyn tried to calm him down but he refused to be
Meanwhile, at the Armstrong headquarters, something else was happening. Divo walked towards the large gate of the headquarters to continue with his assassination mission. A smile hovered on his face as he thought about the cruel death he was going to give to Richmond. "That's why I am the beast of the underworld," he laughed loudly. When he eventually got to the large gate, the security officer posted there stopped him almost immediately. immediately. "Hey," the security officer stopped him as he attempted to walk by without check. Divo turned around slowly and shot a grin at the security officer. "Hey," he returned. "What's is your mission here?" he inquired. "My mission? If you care to know, it is to get your boss and rip his head off frot his neck with my bare hands. After which I would take his rottening scule to my employers," Divo thought with a deadly smile on his face. "I asked you a question Mr," the security officer reminded, snapping him off his evil thoughts. "I
Meanwhile, Mrs. Luci's phone beeped silently at the side of her bed. Immediately she saw the name of the caller, her heart skipped a beat. It was the agent in charge of their goods ordered from outside the country. She just couldn't wait to hear that the goods had landed safely. "Good day mam," the agent greeted. "Good day to you too," Lady Tashia replied. "So how did it go?" She inquired. "Hmmm," the agent lingered a little before answering her question. Mrs. Luci's left hand shook violently as he waited for a response from the goods agent... "Nothing can go wrong," she said to herself as she continued to shiver. "T..the go..ods were seized by the custom service ma," the agent finally let out. "What!!!" Mrs. Victoria exclaimed. She rose forcefully out of her bed almost immediately. Her raging feets hit the hard surface as she moved up and down the room in a distressed manner. "What do you mean by that? For a job I paid you?" She fired. "Mam I tried my best, I swear," h
