At the Weldoms Villa. Immediately after the party held at the Armstrong Villa, Lady Tashia ordered the renovation of the Weldoms Villa and the planting of a new garden. She also bought the best conference hall in city at a ridiculous rate. But she didn't do this with a clean heart. She was counting her cost. She bought a notebook where she wrote down the cost of everything acquired for the ceremony. She intended to make ten times the money she was spending. From the door of the grand Villa, second only to the Armstrong Villa, Richard and Victoria walked in and Richard held Victoria's luggage. Lady Tashia had informed her that she would have stayed at the Villa from henceforth. They were supposed to come to the Villa the previous day but Richard stayed out too long and they could no longer make it to the Villa. Lady Tashia kept yelling on the phone. Richards eyes were red from lack of sleep and he felt feverish. Victoria had instructed him to kneel outside for the night as a punish
Richard, Victoria and Lady Tashia returned to the Villa with Victoria booming with smiles. Lady Tashia had taken her to the grand hall she bought for their wedding ceremony and she also bought her a new car. Victoria could not contain her joy. All this was happening to her all because she was getting married to Williams. She hated Richard so much that she couldn't wait for him to get out of her life. "Thank you Grandma for everything," Victoria appreciated as they stepped into the house. "You don't have to thank me. Just get married to Williams and the Weldoms will be forever grateful," Lady Tashia replied. "Okay grandma, I love you." "Grandma, what was the cost of that building," Richard inquired. Victoria shoots a deadly glance at Richard. "What type of stupid questions are you asking," She fired in her thought. "I am sorry grandma, I was only curious," Richard apologized. "If you must know, I bought that place for the sum of one billion dollars. I don't let your curiosity g
The suspicious maid stared deeply into Richard's eyes and he could read the thoughts of her inner mind. She had the suspicion that he knew the man from somewhere else. He could even be one of the spies sent to the Villa. But he had to blow away her suspicion. Besides, what if it was the other way around, she could even be one of the people sent to the place by Williams, no one could be trusted. "Why are you staring at me that way?" Richard inquired. "Have I broken any of the Villa's rules?" "You still have not answered my question. Who are you and why are you making enquires of that servant," the servant inquired. "Well, I can no longer hide it. We have meant in the past. Old friends at school kind of thing." "Oh! Now I see. Was that what took you the whole day to say?" "Not really. After what you said about him acting wired, I wanted to hide my relationship with him to avoid troubles while I am in the Villa." "Okay, I get you now. If you must know, his room is just opposit
Cloven stood before William, Joshua and three of his agents with his hood still over his head. They all stood in a large empty room, flooded with white electric light. Slowly, he shifted his hands towards his Head and moved the hood away from his head, revealing his cruelly handsome face and his olive tan skin that made him look like a stud. The three parties stared deeply into each other's eyes without any attempt to say a word. Richard got tired of the no-nobody talking ritual and he lets out a sigh. But his sigh wasn't reprocated by what he needed. Cloven didn't say a single word. "You said I should send you to the Villa which I did immediately. So what is your discovery," Williams finally let out. But Cloven didn't let out a word. He only stared at Williams and Ken so bad that the silence became so unbearable for and he had to scream out what he was trying to suppress. "What is wrong with you? I hired you to find Richard, that servant and useless Lawrence but here you are, star
"Victoria deceived you the first day you guys met, informing you that the man by her side was her driver, Jacob," Cloven explained. "But that still doesn't explain the fact that your said Richard is a slave in Victoria's house. How is that possible?" Williams replied. "That is the trick. Richard has been in the country for over a year now, disguised as a poor man married to a wealthy family," Cloven replied. "But why will he abandon his father's wealth to be a dispeaed son-in-law," Joshua wondered. "That I don't know," Cloven replied. "I do not have access to the secrets of his heart and that is the only place you can find the answers to that question you just asked." Williams didn't see this coming. He lets let out a long sigh. He could not imagine that the Richard he was searching for was just a few steps away from him and he didn't see it. He was a fool. "But come to think of it, if you can recognize Richard, that also means he could have been able to recognize you right," J
It was just a year before he traveled out of the country to further his education. But he didn't actually leave the country because of his education, he left so that his father would have enough time to make amends for all the mistakes he had made, especially for the death of Barbie. Barbie was a student of central college high school. She was known for her beauty and her funny nature. She had a close friend named Cloven and they remained the closest of friends but it didn't go any further. And Barbie saw their relationship that way, nothing more and nothing less Unknown to her, Cloven wanted something else from her, he wanted her heart and her love. And unfortunately, he wasn't able to tell her this hidden truth, he couldn't summon enough courage until.....Richard, A new boy from the richest family In the city, the Armstrong Family was enrolled to take his final year exams in the school. And by fortune, the duo of Richard and Barbie met and they fell in love instantly. This ange
The twelve men, rode on their motor cycle directed by the device tracker. They advanced towards the thick woods that lead to Lawrence Aunty's house. Then, they had a stop. The leader of this gang, a man thick not in flesh but bones checked the tracker for further direction as it beeps louder. Then, he gave a sign to the rest of the group to advance south and they did. Meanwhile, Lawrence slept in the room while Ken sat on the edge of the bed awake. Ken could not sleep, Lawrence kept disturbing him with his hateful snores. Angrily, Ken take a big bunch of cardboard papers and shifted it into his opened mouth. Angrily, Lawrence spat them out. "What was that for," he yelled. "Stop snoring like a madman," Ken yelled back. "Well, you should know that I am really tired that's why I am snoring. The fact that you aren't the one making the noise today serves you right," Lawrence replied. As they continued to argue, the square chip Lawrence kept in the wardrobe began to beep loudly. The
"What's it this time," Lawrence inquired, faking a long yarn. "I don't have time to explain, all I can tell you is that we have to leave this place now before it's too late," Ken replied. "But what about this house my aunt kept in my care? I can't leave now that my aunt isn't around." "What do you mean? Where did your grandma go to?" Ken inquired. "I told you that she left for some medical care at her specialist hospital," Lawrence replied. "That would be great for her. When we are safe, you will call her nanny and inform her that her house is no longer safe," Ken said. "Then who will take care of this place? That was my question in the first place remember?" "Are we going to be talking about this place when you are dead," Ken fired. "But what exactly is happening," Lawrence inquired getting frightened. Immediately after he said this, the duo heard a gunshot in the forest. A surge of Current ran through Lawrence's spine and he shuttered absently. He could already feel his he
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
