The Hidden Heir Chapter Nighty- Three
"Hey, girl!" Emily exclaimed as she watched her friend walk through the door"Hey, you. How are you?" Jessica replied with barely half of her enthusiasm. "Same as always, bae. I've just been a little under the weather," Emily sighed, a sniffle escaping her nose. She rubbed her hand on her forehead, Jessica felt she was checking her temperature. "I tried to reach you,—" Jessica adjusted herself on the couch, taking out the purse from under her, "—the other day.""Oh, I changed my phone." She whipped out a new cell phone from beside her, Jessica's eyes ogled the device following it whip around. It was the latest model of that brand. "Didn't I tell you?""N-no, You didn't," Jessica stuttered, still staring at the item. Her eyes blinked to reality and she shook her head, trying not to be too obvious. "I thought I did," Emily gave her one of her signature grins, and a chuckle followed soon after. Jessica smiled a small curve at the corner of her lips. Emily could have whatever she wante

“Why are your filthy hands in Jessica’s bag?” Emily flared, voice resonating through the whole room. Ryan remained still like a deer caught in headlights. His eyes were widened and his lips formed an ‘o’ shape still in shock fromt he roar of her voice. Emily’s sudden outburst attravted attention from Jessica and Turner who internally cursed at Ryan. Jessica rushed to the living room, finding Ryan sitting suspiciously close to her purse. She snatched it from the couch, eyes narrowed at said man. “Don’t tell me you were trying to steal from me?” She accused, a scoff leaving her lips. She began to rummage through her purse trying to check if anything at all went missing.“I wasn’t stealing,” Ryan spoke, his eyes searching the house looking for a reasonable excuse to give. His eyes caught the device fit snugly in her hands, and sighed to himself.“Jess, didn’t I warn you? This puppet? I’m still trying to understand why you went back to him. And why my father all of a sudden decided to

“You need to get Emily.” Turner heard Jessica speak through the headphones. He froze right in his tracks. A curious Ryan crouched over Turner’s shoulder, his ear pressed against the headphones trying to get a hint of what was communicated. “What’s wrong? What did you hear? What did Emily say?” A series of questions followed each other as his confusion got the best of him. He could hear murmurs through his position but they just weren’t loud enough. “E-Emily…” Turner stuttered, eyes wide and voice cracked. He had tuned out whatever he heard in the headphones, now only hearing his heart pound against his chest. His mind raced, and multiple scenarios came into play. “What’s wrong with Emily?” Ryan got impatient, raising his voice at the older man, and shook his shoulders, almost like shaking him back to reality. “Jessica! She's out for my daughter, Ryan” Turner cried out, taking off the headphones and placing them on the table. The older man looked shaken, for the first time since

"No! No! No! No! We are not using my daughter as bait, Evans," Turner almost went ballistic. "Did you forget what happened to Ryan?" He pointed at the younger man. Said man stayed rooted to the couch, watching Turner explode. His tongue pushed against his cheek, hands rubbing each other to generate heat. "I get it but-" Evans started. "But? No, no, you don't get anything. Don’t even start. What were you going to say? But what?" Turner shook his head violently, waving a silencing palm to his face. “Really? In this game?” He let out a slight chuckle. "My daughter is not going to be one of your test subjects to a theory that might be totally off." His eyes were almost bloodshot, veins popping out of his forehead."Turner, you need to calm down honestly. You need to chill out man. I'm not saying we're using her as bait exactly. I never even mentioned that." Evans walked towards his friend, trying to put his palm on his shoulder. "I said we put her in a vulnerable position and confr

“Don’t just stand there! She shouldn’t have to get to Emily before us!” Turner hurried Ryan, pushing him towards the door. Ryan resisted and stopped in his tracks, whisper-yelling at him. “What do you expect me to do?!” He smashed his teeth. “Turner, you’re stronger and more in shape. Put a bag over her head and drag her down to the basement. We’ll interrogate her there.” As much as Evans’s plan sounded rushed, they had to go with it. It was the only plan and it seemed like it would work. “Okay,” Turner nodded, preparing himself for action. He suddenly turned back to them, “Which bag?”Evans groaned and rolled his eyes, “It’s your house, you should know where you keep the bags. Damn!”They frantically searched for bags around the room; raising papers, rummaging through drawers, and moving books and tables. “Wait,” Ryan paused, “Can’t you just cover her mouth with a handkerchief or something? She'd still see our faces. The plastic bag is a bit pointless if you ask me.” He reasoned.
The Hidden Heir Chapter Nighty- Eight
"Wait!!!” There was a slight pause in the room, and Evans stared at her with a hint of chaos in his eyes."I don't want you to call him; he would definitely want to kill you." Jessica bent her head, trying to make them believe she was on their side and prevent them from calling the authorities."Darling, you don't have to worry about me. If I were to die, it would have been from financing you," Ryan said with a smirk on his face as he called the number."I can't believe my daughter became friends with a money lover like you. You wench, Turner said, holding his fist up. "Stop it, Turner; she isn't worth it," Evans said as he waited for Ryan to have a conversation with the person she planned to take on Emily with."Hello, I want to report a crime of kidnapping." Ryan finally spoke up as Evans and Turner both directed their focus towards him. "You want me to leave Jessica if we want Turner's daughter back?" Ryan repeated as Turner's face became bold and a death glance fell upon Jessica

"Evans!!!!" Ryan shouted as he ran towards Evans. When he got there, he saw Evans still breathing with a bullet hole in his left shoulder. "Ev...ans tell me what happened, Ryan said, holding Evans up with his fingers shaking in fear. "They are after you; you need to hide Ryan. You need to take over what your father left for you. You are his only son and the heir to his property." Evans spat out blood as he managed to blurt out the words."You aren't going to die, Evans. You are the only one who can help me find my true self and my true purpose in life after God. I need you, Evans. Don't go." Tears rolled out of Ryan's eyes as he said the words. He felt a slight touch on his shoulders, and he looked back to see Turner, who was drenched in sweat and a red-like substance that turned out to be blood."Did you do this?" Ryan's eyes became bloodshot as his anger grew."Don't think like that, Ryan. We are in this together; Smith had planned this from the very start. He wants us to die togeth
The Hidden Heir Chapter One- Hundrend
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!"A scream was heard, and this caught Ryan's attention as he moved to find cover in case a shooting spree or a gun war was happening around the corner.He looked further to the sight of the incident; the out-roaring bar had suddenly become as silent as a graveyard. He became scared, trying not to release his fear as he sprinted towards the side of the bar closest to the bar window. He looked inside, taking a little peep, as he saw a female figure holding a gun, pointing it towards Rashy, and a low, grunted conversation was heard."What do you want with me?""What else do I want except for your vast knowledge and unpaid beauty?""You know what you can take. I will give you whatever you want; just don't kill me. My father will pay a huge sum if you let me be."."I will save you, princess.""Don't be a nitwit and just lay your ass down.""Nobody gives me the great warrior of the east a lash back.

“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. She cursed her luck at not keeping in shape with her body when she finally had enough money to afford a gym

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
