“It has been a while since we last gathered together for a meal.” Ruth commented as she dug into her food.Her husband cleared his throat. “It feels good for all of us to be gathered here to eat like this, we should do this all the time.”“I am too busy working my ass off so that I can save money and give myself the best life I want to have with the love of my life without anyone's help or support.’’ Sarah said to rile her mom up as she sipped some wine from her glass so she could get in the mood to drag things out with her mom.She already knew that she could not have a normal conversation with her mother without yelling and storming out of the house.“You are not talking about your father’s assistant are you?” Her mother asked as her anger level was beginning to rise.The men just focused on their food as they paid close attention to the mother and daughter with their ears. They didn’t want to interfere so that the topic of conversation wouldn’t shift and be on them.“Yes, him. Zor
Cephas got out of the car in front of his house after work and dismissed most of the bodyguards that were following him, he left two of them on duty in case there was another attack on his life or anything dangerous. He had learnt his lesson not to be too carefree with his safety anymore, he didn't want to go through that experience again.He stationed one of them at the door of his house and the other one in front of his room before he went into his room.He took off his tie, then suddenly he heard his phone ringing. His heart skipped a beat in the hopes that it was Tyla who was calling, he looked forward to hearing her voice every time his phone rang.He picked up his phone and looked at the caller ID and was very disappointed to see Violet’s name flash on the screen. He didn’t know what she wanted and he wasn't ready to hear her annoying voice again. She had spoken rudely to Tyla at the hospital and it had annoyed him.He refused to pick up the call, but she was unrelenting as
Different cars parked in front of the largest events center in the city, each woman that alighted from the car were elegantly dressed, in expensive clothes, jewelry , bags and shoes. It was as though it was a competition to show off wealth to someone. The chauffeur carefully moved the cars to the car park. Each mother waited at the entrance then a different set of cars trooped in. The first set of cars were mainly SUVs and other types of cars for people in his step mom’s age group. The other sets of cars were lamborghinis, sport cars, and other trending cars for youths. The son of Mrs Kim of Kim Robotics was the first to arrive in a robotic car that could transform into a robot and back to the car. It reminded everyone of the Transformers movies, it was also the company’s new product. It was also a form of PR for them. Other People got down in front of their cars. Cephas came in his black Aston martin. Everyone was marveled at the simplicity and elegance of his car, it showed th
“Ms Marcus, we are arraigning you to court for the offenses we charged against you. No public defender wants to take on your case, I am afraid you will have to hire a private lawyer as soon as possible.” The policeman said as he walked Violet out of the Cell she had been sitting all day.She had been throwing tantrums all day in the cell, threatened to sue every single person in the police station when she got out and boasted about how powerful her boyfriend was and what he was capable of doing to them. The officer in the police station just ignored her like everyone else, like they were used to seeing dramas like that at all times, she had kept quiet after seeing that all her yelling would not help her out.“What took you so long to come and get me?” She asked in a quiet yet gangster way.“Your case is a lot to process and we were instructed to take our time with the investigation. From the things we discovered, you would have to contact your lawyer like I said earlier.She didn’t
She dialed Cephas’ number, massaging her temples as she got very much anxious. If she gets stuck in jail, it would be her nightmare. He picks up on the second ring.She was expecting to pick up the first ring since he wasn’t going to any official work like her boyfriend. Only if she had met Abraham Walter before she met all the men in her life, she would not have gotten involved with any of them.“I see that you are happy that you have gotten what you wanted, the police are arraigning me to court just like you wanted.” She scoffed in anger, expecting him to beg.To her surprise, he sounded confident and returned her energy the same way “Congratulations, Is that why you called me?” he sounded uninterested and unbothered with what she was about to say like she was a rascal trying to win points with him.“Anyway my boyfriend is coming to come and help me out. He is going to get the best lawyers in the world to come get me out of the jail you are trying to put me.” She boasted knowing ful
Cephas ran his hand through his hair hoping he wouldn't get more confused and angry. He was trying to sort his thoughts out. Multiple things went through his mind, he had no solution to any of them.It would have been great if he knew the cause of the issues rather than sitting down in the dark studying and feeling like he was in a Maze.These things trapped him and were already affecting his productivity. He was in the middle of trying to figure out who was after his life and his father. He had less office work to do because he wasn’t in office. His work at tyla’s company was done except for the lunch which he had not even spoken to her about.He had been caught with a lot of things of late that he barely even taught about the jewelry shop. Anta and Jose walked into his home study, they knew the passcodes to everywhere in the house, that was how much trust he had in them. He heard someone walk in but he knew it was going to be his assistants. So he wasn't bothered neither did h
“Poisoned father?” cephas’ asked. The statement piqued his curiosity. “ Who was it?” He had been thinking about the whole poisoning issue. Though the doctor strongly suspected his step mom, he knew she was the one but he was still afraid that it would turn out to be her. “The mansion’s management did some herning few months ago, the chairman and his wife weren’t home to supervise it neither was Ms Sarah. Your brother was the only one present but he had the management handle it without cross examining them.”“Are you saying it’s my brother’s fault?” “No sir. Even if he examined them, he would have missed the odd detail out because those people are smart. The management team is one of the best in the country and they are very strict when it comes to hiring those people.”“Have you fired any of them since the incident?”“Mr Zoro is working on that, should I check with him to know the situation of things?’ Anta who had been quiet all the while Jose was reporting suddenly spoke.“Ye
Cephas knew that he had to speak with his father to clear his suspicions. He walked into the private penthouse that he had moved his father to after the incident. His step mother instructed her kids to stay in her own homes while she stayed with her husband to watch over him.He swiped the private access card to open the door of the penthouse. Ruth was cooking in the kitchen when he got in. “Hello,” he greeted her, noticing that someone had come before him.“Cephas,” She called sweetly. “Your sister just left. Did you meet her on your way up?’“No, I didn’t. Maybe she went into the hotel for some business,” he suggested. Sarah had done the grocery shopping because they had to be extra careful with the foods that the chairman would eat.“You know I didn’t have anything to do with the poison right?” She pulled Cephas back, as he turned on his heels to go to his father’s room.He pulled her hand tenderly from his and faced her. “We will figure this out, till then please take good care o
