They had taken a leap of faith, and the first step of their journey seemed to have led them to a glimmer of hope.Emily hugged her dad tightly. “We did it, Dad, she did it, it worked!” She was super excited and didn't mind the fact that she was shouting out loud.***Evans lay restlessly in his bed, the previous night's events haunting his thoughts.

Mr. Evans's homeEvans sat in his study, his fingers rapidly typing a text message to Turner. The news he had just received from the police officer left a bitter taste in his mouth. It was a stark reminder of the reality of the world they lived in, where influence and power could sway the course of justice. He knew he needed to reach out to Turner and share this disturbing information.As he hit the send button, he couldn't help but wonder about the kind of society they were living in. It was a world where cases weren't always judged on their merits but were often influenced by external factors like wealth, connections, and societal standing. The injustice of it all weighed heavily on him.The soft chime of an incoming message snapped him out of his thoughts. It was a reply from Turner. “Hello my friend, this is a piece of very bad news, however, I will not be available as I’m in the middle of my family situation. As you know, family first. I send my heart and support.” His hear

The bouquet of roses in his hand was not just a gift; it was a symbol of their love and hope for a better future.He entered her hospital room with a gentle smile, the roses held close to his chest. The sweet scent of the flowers filled the room as he approached her bedside."Hey, Sarah," he said, his voice filled with warmth. "I've brought you these beautiful roses. I wanted to celebrate your recovery, to celebrate you being well again."Sarah's eyes lit up as she saw the bouquet. Her smile grew, and she extended her lips, inviting him to give her a gentle peck. Turner leaned in, their lips met briefly, and he could feel her warmth and strength returning."Thank you, the husband of my youth and of my old," she whispered. "These roses are lovely, just like you."He chuckled, "No, Sarah, you're the

His mind raced with mixed emotions. On one hand, he was happy to be spending quality time with Sarah after her release from the hospital. On the other, Smith's messages always carried an air of danger and intrigue. Turner had been trying to distance himself from his past, but it seemed that the past had other plans for him.He returned to the room with the juice for Sarah, a forced smile on his face as he tried to push aside the worry and uncertainty that Smith's message had brought. His wife's health was his top priority, and he couldn't afford any distractions from the peaceful moments they were currently sharing.As he handed her the glass, he couldn't help but notice the warmth in her eyes and the gentle smile that curved her lips."Thank you, darling," Sarah whispered, her voice filled with gratitude.

Someone had just hit Turner. Who hit him? What hit him? Why did the person hit him? Now he’s unconscious. He went blank, the next he saw was finding himself regaining consciousness in the dimly lit warehouse, a cold shiver ran down his spine, amplified by the icy water that had been poured onto him. He struggled to move but found out he had been tied down. "Why am I here?" Turner groaned, wincing from the throbbing pain at the back of his head, his hand instinctively reaching for the source of the discomfort.Mr. Smith loomed over him, an enigmatic presence. "I need you, Turner," he said in a tone that held a hint of menace."Why? What's your game? Did you really need to tie me to ask me this?" Turner demanded, his voice laced with frustration.With an air of mystery, Mr. Smith retorted, "I don't have time for questions. I need your help."Turner, trapped in this unfolding drama, reluctantly nodded in agreement. He had his own motives, but for now, he'd play along with Smith's sche

I don't know what happened," he managed to croak, his vulnerability laid bare.Mr. Evans reached for his phone, his fingers trembling as he dialed the doctor's number. He prayed for the medical professional to arrive swiftly, their expertise the only beacon of hope in that dire moment."Stay with me, Ryan," Mr. Evans urged, his worry deepening with every second that passed. His voice served as an anchor, providing the young man with a glimmer of solace.As the doctor's arrival drew near, Ryan clung to consciousness, seeking answers in the labyrinth of his fragmented memories.

The next morning, Smith arrived unannounced at Ryan and Mr. Evans' home, clutching a file that concealed a profound revelation. The contents of the file seemed to challenge everything that Ryan believed to be true. It was a declaration that left him in disbelief, as Mr. Evans had insisted that Mr. Jack Martins was his father. One of them had to be lying.Ryan meticulously read the contents of the document out loud:[Letterhead of the Legal Firm or Organization][Date]To Whom It May Concern,RE: LEGAL AFFIRMATION OF PATERNITYWe, the undersigned parties, hereby affirm the following legal statement regarding the paternity of the individual known as [Ryan's Full Name]:1.

“Why are you so nervous?” Turner asked Ryan who was pacing the floors of his home, sweat running down his back and his breathing a bit chopped.“This is huge, Turner. This is huge!”“But you both are on the same page, right? There’s nothing to be nervous about”“No, the streamers shouldn’t go down that way. And why are they yellow? I don’t want anything yellow.” Ryan said to one of his staff who was hanging up the streamers, not answering Turner.“Okay, you’re one step away from scaring them and making them run for the hills. Come have a drink.” Turner smiled as he stood up and guided Ryan out of the living room and into the dining room.“Why is the cake still out? Shouldn’t it be cooling off in the freezer? It’s not yet time for it to be out.” Ryan commented as he spied the cake with lettering on the counter.“Apparently, this place is off limits too.” Turner added before he dragged him up the stairs. When Ryan protested, Turner stopped at the landing and spoke to him.“Listen, Ryan

Chapter One Hundred And Sixty Five
“Greetings.” One of the students who passed by the school greeted me with a bow. Ryan who had been staring at the completed and now functional school building tore his eyes away from it and responded to the student who was already several steps ahead. He looked around to realize that sometime during his gazing, the students had let out for their lunch break. From where he was standing, he could see that some were milling around in the garden and having lunch while some preferred to make use of the outdoor café. He knew and was quite aware that others would be scattered around the indoor cafeteria and different lounges at the different corners of the school. He had decided it was best the students had a wide variety of places to choose from to have lunch. Experience they say is the best teacher, from experience he knew quite well how it felt to suffer through humiliation in the cafeteria and even worse not to have anywhere else to go. This even sponsored his reasons and gladness to

“Roberts, you never told us how it went on your end.” Lewis said as he popped open another bottle of red wine, poured into his glass and brought it to his lips.“What are you talking about?”“How did the project with Jessica pan out? Was it completed successfully?” Smith asked, irritated at how slow Roberts was being.“Oh, that?” He said flippantly as he swirled the wine in his glass.“The assassin carried out the job without a hitch. He told me that he stabbed her more than 5 times and left her to bleed out in a dark alley. She was taking her last breaths when he left and there was no one in sight to help her so now, we have nothing to worry about because our tracks are clear.”Smith smiled and raised his glass, inviting the other men seated around him to a toast. They celebrated Jessica’s death. Her death meant that there was no one who could point fingers at them especially with Turner one step away from the grave.“Soon, there will be no more obstacles in my way and I will have my

“Remember that we have to remain calm no matter what he says or does.” Evans said to Ryan as they walked towards the place where they had kept Monroe all the while because he knew Ryan had the propensity to be erratic sometimes.“I know that.” Ryan nodded“Okay, good.”They got to the room and without any hesitation or stopping to think about the decision they had arrived at concerning their hostage, Ryan turned the doorknob to reveal the inside of the room. There, Monroe was, strapped to a bed; his mouth duct taped so he didn’t make a sound and alert anyone. Not like there was a single living soul that could be found for miles but still, it was better to be safe than sorry.“Hello, Monroe. It’s been a while, hasn’t it?” Evans asked, as he strolled into the room behind Ryan, a smile on his face.Monroe saw them and began to wrestle with his bindings eager to be out of them. He thrashed and thrashed on the bed while screaming at them or rather attempting to scream at them seeing as th

She ran like her life depended on it, weaving between parked cars and alleys because it did.She was being chased by someone she didn’t know. She had on Nike shorts and a plain black tank top with her hair in rollers looking like she was about to go to bed because that was what she had been trying to do when she heard a crash from outside her bedroom door, down the hall from the toilet.When she crept out, she saw a shadow from under the door because the light was still on and she hightailed it out of there, hoping to get a bat or something to defend herself. However, when she saw a big, burly guy coming to her with a knife, she took off outside the house, to save herself.She was still running, looking back at intervals to see where he was. Previously, she was several steps ahead with a large gap between them but the last time she looked back, she saw that he was way closer.

Ryan walked into the hotel where he was meeting Smith and went straight to the receptionist who was all smiles.“Good morning.” He greeted her before letting her know that he was supposed to be meeting with Mr. Smith and wanted directions to the private meeting room Smith had asked to be met at. It was a new upscale hotel that was the rave of town. It was no surprise that Smith had chosen the hotel for them to meet because it was a neutral ground as neither of them had shares in the hotel though there were rumors that Smith planned to acquire it. After all, he liked the way it was growing rapidly. “The maître d’hôtel will be here to escort you shortly. I will just place a call to him now.” The receptionist said after confirming his identity and checking that indeed Smith had reserved the private meeting room.Ryan nodded and took a seat in the lounge as she asked. He was not seated for long before the maitre d’hôtel appeared to take him to the meeting room. He stood up and after adj

“What I need is a hot shower, a hot meal and sleep. Exactly in that order.” Ryan muttered as he dragged his tired body into his house. He plowed straight into the shower in his room and proceeded to have his bath.He had just finished the first task he was given, which was to give out 100 million dollars to a hundred beggars in 3 hours and he was extremely tired, who wouldn’t? It had been a hell of a day and he wanted his bed badly.He quickly sent a text to the chef to send his dinner up because he didn’t have the strength to trudge downstairs. He laid on his bed covers, still tying his towel. He knew that if he got under the covers, he would be asleep faster than a light went out.Suddenly, his phone rang. He stretched his hand out on the bed and picked it up, his eyes squinting to see who it was and he was excited to see that it was Rebecca calling. He sat up in his bed and leaned on the headboard, his finger about to slide up to answer it when he stopped. He remembered the mann

“What exactly are you saying to me? I don’t understand all the medical terms you just mentioned.” Jessica said as she looked at the doctor from her seat at her mother’s side. The doctor blinked at her slowly.“Let’s have this conversation outside, please.” His voice was almost a whisper as he directed her outside the room her mother was lying in and then began to explain what he had said earlier in clearer terms.“What I am telling you is that your mother has no chance of living anymore. From her prognosis, she has at best, a few days to live. I’m sorry!”Jessica was shocked and she gaped at him for a while before she got her words back.“No, no, no!”“I’m sorry.” The doctor apologized as he shook his head.“No, doctor, there has to be something that you can do. My mother can’t just die like that. You can’t just abandon my mother like that.”“I’m sorry but there’s absolutely nothing more we can do for you. Her cancer has spread and eaten into so many of her organs. It is a miracle tha
