Davidson's eyes widened with shock, at first his emotion was a mixture of anger and shock due to the presence of the one he hated the most and the one who had snatched his political position away from his hands.But after some seconds, the anger had morphed into fear, shock, confusion, and worry when he realized his father could be in prison. He had been so preoccupied with his election duty that didn't yield any fruit that he forgot about the greater matter at hand. He felt his father had covered it after all.Damn!!! He stared deeply at all of them one after the other, unable to even utter any word. This thought had overclouded consciousness and it was taking a toll on him.“This fool…” He gritted his teeth in annoyance. Clenching his fist hard. “If it were normal circumstances, would this idiot have the rare privilege of sitting on my father’s expensive chair?” He kept muttering to himself unable to voice out due to the fear of his uncle who looked healthy and refurbished. He
Davidson's eyes narrowed in disbelief, he stared at Donald with confusion and disappointment in his gaze. They had been friends for a long time and now things looked like they were falling apart for him Donald wanted to start acting differently.Damn! “What do you mean dude?” Davidson asked him.“If your father is really in jail, I’m sorry my father wouldn’t want me to associate with you for the sake of my safety.“ Donald stated with calmness and guilt brimming from every part of his face. He and Davidson had been friends since the beginning of their freshman year. They did everything together and even went on vacations during holidays. If Davidson who was his right-hand man had refused to accommodate him who will? It was adding up.“Sort things out with your uncle or better still go and look for your father. I need to go now, I have booked a taxi already.”Donald said before turning to leave.“Wait.. wait ..buddy… please wait.” His voice rang off stopping Donald. “Please, I can live
As they walked through the very busy hallway of the police headquarters, the tension continued to build up in their bodies, spiking over the roof. With each step they took their heart had already beaten a million times.As they walked carefully, the officers on duty glared at them with furrowed brows making them tremble within. The police headquarters wasn’t a very pleasant place to be in. It could make a good excitation venue if only you were there for a good course. But with what brought them in, it was a no-no for Davidson and his friend.After a few minutes walk, they arrived at the senior Deputy’s office. Davidson who was already trembling with fear was asked some important questions before signing some important documents as his father's next of kin.“Seat here, he will be with you shortly.” The deputy said in a husky voice before he ordered the female police officer to bring Solomon out of the cell.The two friends were seated still, they hadn’t been so chilled and respectful
Hearing such a ridiculous amount, Davidson was perplexed and was beginning to feel overwhelmed. If a consultation fee costs a million bucks how much more is the main fee?The feeling of betrayal and guilt engulfed Davidson, how was he going to face his father after he entrusted him with such great responsibilities? Who would come to his rescue?“Dude? Please tell me, what is your suggestion for all of this? Going back to that old man who threw my father in jail isn’t even an option.” Davidson said, worry evident in his gaze.Donald glared at him now, the worry that was plastered on his face had suddenly morphed into irritation. “Are you even for real??? Instead of you being humble, you’re still calling him names. Go ask him to drop the charges, he is the only one who can help in this case.” Donald spat, even though his tone was low, ensuring he didn’t annoy any of the officers walking around.Davidson bit his fingers hard in regret, gritting his teeth in utmost frustration. The day w
“You are such a pretentious liar!” Jones stated through gritted teeth. “It pains me because if my son was here today he would be older than you and probably you and your gold digger father wouldn’t have the opportunity of robbing me of my properties” He sneered.Davidson became mute, now tears ran freely from his eyes even though they were fake.“How do I make this old demon reconsider me? I thought my father always said he was soft-hearted and easygoing!” Davidson questioned himself even while kneeling on the floor.“Please, uncle!!! Please… don’t cast me away, I beg you. Even though you don’t forgive my dad, please have compassion towards me. My dad influenced me greatly, I wasn’t like this.” Davidson begged while he kept sobbing and sniffing to everyone’s hearing.Sebastian’s eyes widened, followed by a giggle. He took a sip out of his champagne glass before taking his eyes away from the pretentious Davidson. He was enjoying the scene.What better way of celebrating his victory, r
Jones's eyes brimmed with fulfillment as he moved around the living room this time, staring distinctively at anything his eyes caught till his sharp gaze fell on Davidson again.“Adhere to these rules with everything you’ve got! Failure to do so…. You must not set your foot into this house from today henceforth! Nothing binds us anymore.Secondly, the least I can do for you so you don’t die of hunger in school is to give u a job at the restaurant after its renovation by next week.”“Holy hell!” Davidson muttered but straightened his face immediately when his uncle glared at him. His heart was beating profusely in his chest, but he couldn’t bring himself to doubt what his uncle had just said.“Did I hear a complaint?!” Jones sneered and Davidson immediately shook his head in terror, holding his lips firmly with his hands.“Better…”“You would earn the same penny as every other staff and you wouldn’t be treated preferentially. If you disrespect or make life miserable for any of my new s
It was around 10 pm in the night and the runway event was situated for 11 pm prompt. Steve was excited and very eager to see some of the models he had always crushed on television and in magazines.Modelling had always been part of his life choices but his parents blatantly disapproved of his interest and insisted he read medicine instead at the prestigious St Psalms Institute, hence the reason why he was struggling with his academics.However, Sebastian wasn’t so eager about the runway show till he heard it was at the Adams Hotel and Resort. He remembered seeing that file among the files his grandfather had shown him while he was on the island and he suddenly became expectant of the evening.To him, It would be a great opportunity to see one of the Adams properties and get to know their standard so he could send feedback back to his grandfather. He was now strict and wasn’t willing to let the bullies go scot-free.When they got the the gigantic gate of the hotel, the Adams emblem wa
In no time, Cherry was already lying flat on the floor, rolling and biting her lips in pain.“Get help!!!” The MC raised the alarm and in no time the medical team arrived with a stretcher.The crowd was in shock, they all stood up to their feet wondering what was going on. Why they were mumbling and gossiping, Cherry was in severe pain, wincing and locking her eyes as they took her away.Sebastian, for some awkward reason, felt very uncomfortable, he felt restless in his guts even though there were certified medical practitioners who would attend to her. But why was he feeling that way?Unable to hold it in anymore, he clenched his fist in his knees till his knuckles turned white. “Why are you so restless Buddy?” Steve asked, he was also feeling concerned for Cherry but he didn’t seem to understand why Sebastian felt walked up for a lady he didn’t know personally.“Do you have any idea where she was taken to?” Sebastian asked with urgency in his tone.“Dude! I don’t work here, we cam
