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
It’s been a while since she had heard from Cephas. She had been given him all the green light showing that she really liked him and she had even accidentally confessed that she was in love with him.They had dinner after he got back from the board meeting. She had read that the Magnate had not been changed in the business news, that means the meeting went well. But he could have contacted her to tell her how it went, they had slept in the same bed, even if they didn’t have sex. She had sensed that he was greatly attracted to her .His body had reacted to hers when she got in bed with him and she had noticed that he didn’t want to make any move on her. She respects him for that.She wanted to jump on him but she considered his head injury, Even if anything sexual was going to happen with him it would be when they were both healthy enough and consenting to it.“Good afternoon, Ms Williams,” Grey entered the office after knocking the door several times and she didn’t answer. “I have bee
“Undercover? Isn’t that risky?” Jose asked in surprise. His boss was full of surprises but never did he think that he would hear something like this from him.“I honestly do not support this,” Anta added worriedly. Jose patted her back secretly to calm her down. Anta might act tough on the outside but she is a softie who gets scared easily and very emotionalJose knew all these about her. She cared so much for their boss just like him. They both promised his father to treat him like their son whenever he was weak and needed help.But their stubborn headed boss with a heart of gold and a mind as sharp as diamond. He would not listen to whatever they were going to tell him but he was still going to try his best to convince him from doing what he had in mind.“I mean, do you have to do this yourself? We can employ someone to do it instead of you.” Jose complained bitterly. The decision Cephas was taking was very dangerous and no one knew the height of danger he could encounter. That scar
“Where is he going?” Sarah asked as she opened the door. She had discovered something huge and she wanted to discuss it with him. She didn’t want to discuss it with him over the phone that was why she rushed down to his house. Jose and Anta retreated behind their boss. “Will any one give me an answer?” She barked, everyone in the room shook in fear. “Jose, Anta, please excuse us. Sarah and I need to have a conversation.” Cephas ordered. The couple rushed out of the room hurriedly before things got serious. “What were you guys talking about before I came in?” The tone of her voice came down as soon as the assistants left. “A business trip.” He replied, returning to where his suitcases were. “With that tattered box? Why have you not disposed it? Do you plan on returning to that trenches?” “No, I am not going back there.” he retorted sharpley and glared at her. Why would I do that?” “Better. No one knows what is going on in your head. What business trip are you going to and it
She knocks on the door of his building. The passcode seemed to have changed since the last time she came to his place which made her feel angry and gave her an unsettling feeling.It was taking so long for him to open the door. She should ave called instead od coming wthout permsion. Does she keep crossing the line? She sighed as multiple times.“Why had he done that? Did he think I was being too obvious and forcing myself on him? But his body and reacted to him at the hospital. I just had to pretend like his erection was poking my back on night even when he was sound asleep.” She thought to herself then they door opened.“Good afternoon, Ms Williams,” Anta greeted respectfully, surprised that Tyla was at the door.Tyla was equally surprised that cephas’ female assistant was at his house but the other assistant who was a guy soon joined them.“Hello, Ms Williams,” he also greeted her awkwardly. They had not expected her to show up so early at his place. They had planned to visit her
“Did you even try to settle?” Mrs Marcus scolded her daughter who was in tears as reality slapped her hard in the face. “That boy really got you arrested and you could not slap some sense into him.”Her mom had come to see her four weeks after she got sentenced to jail. She didn’t complain because her father was still very much sick and was still in the hospital. Her mother looked perfectly healthy and alright.She didn’t even look like something was wrong with her husband somewhere.“Settle? He wasn’t even going to talk to me after I got arrested because the case isn’t his. It was the government that charged me to court, that was why I asked you to get me a darn lawyer.” She gritted her teeth. “Why did you have to fight with your own sister?”“I am owing her some cash and I haven’t paid back, you know how she is when it comes to money.” her mom spoke like she wasn’t at fault. Violet had gotten most of her nonchalant attitude from her mom. That was why she didn’t like to accept her f
Cephas dusted the entire floor. This has been his routine for the past four months. His pay has been scheduled till his contract expires. They only feed them and give them basic necessities that they need to survive. All they do is work and work all day and night anytime they hear the bell.His life in the Lion’s house has been pretty much rough. There wasn’t so much unusual going on in the house. The servants were about ten. Five males and five females They also had crazy rules that restricted the househelps from interacting with each other. He had never spoken with the other men in the house. That was the most tiring part of working there.One time he had tried to speak to one of them there but he ignored him completely. Cephha knew he had to abide by the rules or else he would get kicked out of the house.So he focused while he tried to come up with ways to find out information from anyone. The place was very discrete. Their workers were never allowed to go out or leave befo
Pedro pushed the door open for his boss to come in. “What do you mean the Walter boy has been off the radar for some time now?”They entered their storage room. It was a hidden room no one knew about. Only the people that held high status knew about the secret room.The house helps and outsiders couldn’t even locate where the room was because of the location of how the lock was placed “Since his accident we don’t know if he is dead or alive but we checked his work activities. They are very much active, nothing has changed on the inside or outside. It was like when he disappeared a year ago.”Pedro reported as his boss stroke his chin casually, giving what he said a thought.The Walters are the most wanted enemies. They have given the Lions so much issues, and pretty much restricted them from interacting in the society with their real identities.They caused people to be aware of their strengths and how they can ruin the country. They had also exposed their illegal doings in the past a
