Jeffrey dropped his phone back in his pocket and faced the nurse who called his name."What are you doing with the doctor's robe? Your brother must be looking for you. He asked about you few minutes ago." she asked."Well, I only borrowed this. You know I have always wished to become a doctor and so I wanted to have a feeling of what it's like to wear a coat." he replied with a dry smile.The nurse shook her head. "Whatever you do, just return it back and don't let anyone see you with this robe. It's belongs to our head doctor and you will be in big trouble if he finds it on."Jeff nodded. He only borrowed the coat so he could check up on Radley and see how he is doing. The security guards at the door wouldn't let anyone in and so he had to come up with that plan."Wait!" he called back the nurse who was leaving. She hurriedly came back."What is wrong?""My brother met you. What did you tell him?"It was unlike James to ask where he was and so getting that message from him was confu
Camille went out of the room with Brandon and when they were some distance away, she made him face her."What is going on Brandon? I heard you are leaving soon with your mom and Dwayne.""Yes we are.""Is this because of the blackmailer too?""Yes. I don't want the blackmailer attacking again."She sighed loudly and sat down. Everyone is leaving and she understands but it hurts that they were going to all leave her behind because of her job and life in LA. It's gonna be hard for her to be all alone in LA but what can she do? She understands their intentions. They were all doing this for the sake of safety. Dwayne and Radley aren't safe again in LA. That blackmailer could be anywhere, ready to attack again.Brandon couldn't tell her the real reason why they were leaving. That is something he would handle and doesn't need her worrying or trying to help to fix everything or even talk him against doing what he wanted to."Don worry Camille, I will be visiting. Besides, we are leaving to H
One year later....."We are going to change the strategy this year. Last year, our sales increased by just two percent which is very low. Last year wasn't profitable for the empire." the managing director said to the listening ears of the board members of Baron empire.Mr. Baron, who was listening keenly to his explanation, drew closer and rested his chin on his knuckles. "Director, what do you have to say about this?" he asked.The director was lost in thought and so didn't hear him speak until his called him name for the second time."Sir?""I said, what is your take on this?" Mr. Baron asked again with a frown."Oh. The managing director is right. We have to think of a new strategy to make our sales improve. Last year wasnt profitable.""What strategy will be the best to improve the sales?""Last year, we did all we could in advertising our products, but this year, I think we should improve the brands and products. Advertising won't work the way we want it this time. A lot
Camille was in town already. He has a lot to talk to her about and one of it is him going back to LA to continue his mission of finding his sister. “Your girlfriend?” Drew asked, curiously staring at him.“No. You know I don’t have a girlfriend.”Drew shook his head, “I know you don’t. I just decided to remind you about your single life.”Radley glared at him. “Mind the way you speak to me. I am your boss.”“Well, I am older.”Radley rolled his eyes and went back to working on his computer. Drew will always find a way to get him annoyed everyday, but still, he is a helper to him at the empire. The guy is smart and have taught him a lot of things and also gave him lots of strategies for things he couldn’t come up with.“But, is that Camille?” he asked again.“Yes.”Right from the moment Drew knew that he knows Camille, he have always disturbed him to get her number cause he has a huge crush on. But well, Camille is not for him and she is older than him, but he will always say, age doe
Dwayne walked out of a grocery store, with everything he bought. It was almost dark, the time for his meeting with an investor. He still have enough time to get prepared. The gave the woman and her son some money to get what they wanted. They wouldn’t stop thanking him until he left the store.He entered his car and drove off. It’s been a year since they left their father and came to start a new life in Honda capital. A lot of things have changed including him. He wasn’t that Dwayne who was less matured and only depended on happy life. There is more to happy life. His parent separation thought him a lot of things and now, he was more opened to reality. Just like his marriage to Kate, people don’t always get everything they want. No one is perfect.He drove down the road, leading to the estate his brother acquired for his mother. His life was going smoothly and for him, he was building his own enterprise which was surprisingly doing well. Brandon opened his art gallery, which have been
“We’re just talking about the city, my job and all. Nothing to bother about.” Radley said, going to meet his mother. He smiled at her which she reciprocated.“I thought I heard you saying you wanted to go back to that town we left. I hope you are not planning on doing that?”“No mother. Why would I leave you behind?”Camille looked at Radley when he said that. This will be hard for him and his parent when he is leaving unless he lies to them again.“Well, the food is ready. Your father is back so let’s go eat together.”They all went back to the living room. “Radley, I heard presley university are voting for a new management now. The student are doing that by themselves.” Mr. Boron said chewing his meal slowly.“Well, that’s good. At least, the school can rest from the students who don’t mean well for it. I just hope this kew management will be better.”It will never be better asLong as those bullies where there. They have a knack for compelling the staffs to do their biddings becau
The manager of the restaurant, went up to the VVIP section along with a couple who had reserved a seat. Table fifteen.When he got up there, he noticed two young men seating there already. He excused himself and went to a corner, calling a waiter.“Sir….”“Who are those two young men?” he asked pointing at Dwayne and Radley who were talking about LA and were oblivious of the trouble that was about to start. “Well sir, they booked that space yesterday.”“What do you mean booked that space. Mr. Carlos booked that seat already.”“Sir?”“Did they show you their tickets?”“Well no, they called and said they booked it already.”“Do those guys look like people who could afford a million dollars and even any meal you placed on their table?” he asked again, getting angry.The waiter said nothing and looked down. The manager told them that two people will be coming over to the VVIP table fifteen as they booked it already. The waiters, when they saw Dwayne and Radley, thought they would be the
"Radley Baron, the son of the Barons and Dwayne Griffin," he said with a smile.Hearing the names Baron and Griffin, the two names of the most influential men, Mr. Hawking looked at the two young men. If that is true, then they are their most important customers at that moment. Baron and Griffin are big names in the business industry.Mr. Hawking has tried so many times to get through to the Baron empire for an investment in their restaurant. If the Baron empire gives them an opportunity, the restaurant would reach a high level. But how would a big empire like the Baron's even look at a very small restaurant like theirs? To an empire like Baron, the expensive restaurant, in the eyes of many, is like a very small restaurant to them.Now, the sons of Baron and Griffin are in his restaurant.The manager was dumbfounded. Baron and Griffin? There must be a mix-up down here. Why would the two sons of the famous families be in Honda's capital? A small townHe just insulted them and looked do
Radley sat adjusted a bit and recollected the whole incident that had just transpired.Everything was becoming a mess and he had to act fast to avoid it completely getting out of hand.“Oh God,I need to inform Dwayne of the whole situation,everyone needs to be on guard”he said while picking up his phone from the table.He stared at his phone screen and he saw his picture there,he wore a long smile amd everything seems to make him get weary and tired this days,he hardly smiled and he’s looking older for his age.“Hey Radley ,you’ve always fought and conquered,you’ll pull through this and you’ll finally have a cause to smile again”he said.“Grnnggg….grnnng….grnnng”The phone kept buzzing.Dwayne didn’t pick up and Radley had to redial his contact again.“Grnggg…grnnggg…grnggg”the phone kept ringing.“I don’t know why’s he’s not picking up,I just hope he’s okay,”he said and kept staring at the phone to see if Dwayne had picked it up.Radley sat nervously on his couch, staring at his phone
“You mother fucker!” Radley said with anger.“What do you want to achieve,how much do you want,I’ll pay you,is it money or treasure?name it I’ll give it to you..just tell me what you want,you sonofabitch!” Radley said.“Wealth,riches,money and treasuries are all ticked boxes,I want to make your life and your entire family’s life a misery.I derive pleasure in seeing you and your family suffer”jeff laughed hysterically.“I’ll get to the root of this,you’ll pay for all the pains and miseries you’ve caused my family,just watch and see,I’ll make sure you and your accomplices are brought to book” Radley retorted."You're putting your life in danger, Radley," he said, his voice cold. "If you don't back off, I'll make sure that you regret it."Radley felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that this man was capable of anything, and he knew that he was in serious danger. But he also knew that he couldn't let this same man who has caused unbearable pain to him and his family get away with what
Camille and Tyler sat in the car, both of them feeling a little awkward. The tension between them was palpable, and Camille knew that she had to do something to make things right."I'm sorry, Tyler," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I know I was being difficult earlier, and I shouldn't have treated you the way I did."Tyler looked at her, surprised by her sudden change in attitude. "It's okay, Camille," he said, his voice gentle. "I understand that you're going through a tough time right now."Camille looked at him, grateful for his understanding. "Thank you," she said, smiling weakly. "Can we go inside now? I'm starving."Tyler nodded, and they both got out of the car. As they walked towards the house, Camille couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She had left the food on the gas, and she wasn't sure if it was still cooking or not.As they entered the house, Camille's fears were confirmed. The food was still on the gas, and it was burning. Tyler rushed to the kitchen a
Micheal did as he told Charlie. He arrived at Oliver’s place 6 am sharp. He knocked on the door but no one answered. So he took out his phone and called Charlie. She wrapped around Oliver’s arms as the smuggled under the sheets together when she received Micheal’s call. She panicked. “Honey, are you on your way?” Charlie asked in a sleepy tone. “Who’s that?” Oliver asked. “Shut the fuck up, it’s Micheal” Charlie whispered after putting the phone on mute. Then she turned it off. “Actually, I’m at the door. Can you come open the door” Micheal urged. “Okay, I’ll be down in a minute” Charlie said calmly then she hung up. “What did he say?” Oliver asked. “He’s at the fucking door, Oly” Charlie whispered anxiously. Then she quickly got up and began putting her clothes on and so did Oliver. Then he went downstairs to his room and left Charlie to open the door for her husband. Charlie got down stairs as quickly as she could. Before she opened the door for Micheal, she arranged her ha
Cyril’s burial was over and everyone returned to their homes. Roland took Kamla and Aaron in, he needed people to fill up his big empty house. Oliver was driving Charlie back home but he decided to make a stop at his house so he could get somethings for their son. On getting there, a very windy storm commenced and Charlie had no other choice but to wait it out at Oliver’s even though he could control the weather. She sat on the couch as she put a call through Micheal. “Hey” Charlie said nervously. “Hiya, is the funeral over? It’s getting late and a storms about you start” Micheal informed. “Yeah, that’s the thing. We met it on our way back and…” Charlie replied then Micheal cut her short. “We… who’s we? Roland?” Micheal asked. “No… Oliver” Charlie replied. “But Roland picked you up” Micheal mentioned. “Yeah but he had to take Kamla and Cyril’s boyfriend, Aaron back to his house. So Oliver offered to take me back. He made a stop at his place cause he wanted to get somethings fo
It wasn't until the next morning, when he woke up a pounding headache and a sense of shame and regret, that he realized the true cost of his actions. He had been so consumed by his own pain that he had hurt the people around him, and he knew he had a lot of work to do to make things right.The next morning, Radley woke up with a pounding headache and a sense of shame and regret. He slowly got out of bed, feeling the stiffness in his muscles from the fall he took the night before. He stumbled to the bathroom and splashed some water on his face, trying to shake off the grogginess.After relieving himself, Radley took a long, hot shower, hoping that the steam and warmth would help ease his aching body. As he stood there, he thought about the events of the previous night and felt a sense of embarrassment wash over him once again.But he knew he couldn't dwell on it forever. He had to get ready for work and face the day ahead. After the shower, he brushed his teeth and got dressed in his wo
The class erupted in laughter as Radley stood there, drenched in paint. He was humiliated beyond belief. Radley was confused if he should get an just to continue his undercover lecturing duties for the sake of Ridley.“Radley Baron”He muttered.He had never experienced anything like this before. He couldn't believe that his own students could do something like this to him even when it was their first day in class with him.The fact that he was going through all this torture was because of one faceless person who had taken it upon himself to make his family’s life miserable.He looked at the students with such much fiery in his eyes,he looked at James,who just kept an emotionless face and finally when it had dawned reality on him,he tried to gather strength to move out of the class but then he was clothed in shame.He couldn’t move.“Look how he looks like Bozo”one girl chuckled from the back seat.”Mr professor,won’t you leave now or you want to be Joseph’s coat of many colours before you
The two best of friends arrived at the Vatican. Fortunately, they met Batista in seat. “Any problem guys?” Batista asked. “Do you have any information about Windsor, Omar’s brother?” Oliver asked. “No… but his compartment still exists” Batista said with a smirk. Then he took them to a part of the Vatican that no ordinary member of the Vatican had seen. “Every year the Vatican grows but since you left for the void, it stopped. Jean and I realised that it didn’t need any more replacements. These compartments down here belong to some prolific members of the Vatican whether good or bad. Here, you’ll find the compartments of the likes of the Murphy twins, Heraldine and Hades- your parents, Ole-your uncle, Omar and Windsor, Omar’s brother” Batista explained. Then they got to Windsor’s compartment. Batista put his finger print and unlocked the room. They entered inside and we’re amazed by how the room looked. It didn’t look modern at all. “I hate my brother” Oliver read from the walls
Roland’s soul appeared right before Omar. He was shocked and appalled him summoning Omar actually worked. “Tell Oliver that if I knew where my brother was, I would have gone after him myself” Omar told Roland sternly then he sent Roland back to his body with the snap of a finger. Roland woke up on the couch as Oliver paced around his living room. “What did he say?” Oliver asked impatiently. “He doesn’t know where his brother lives” Roland replied. “Then how the fuck does he want me to find him?” Oliver asked agigated. “The more time you waste, the more innocent lives are at stake” Roland mentioned. “Ask him how he wants me to find him” Oliver told Roland then Roland began meditating. Soon, he found himself appearing in front of Omar. “I don’t know how to find my brother” Omar said sternly then snapped his finger and sent Roland back to his body. “What did he say?” Oliver asked in annoyance. “Still the same thing” Roland replied. “Well go back and tell him that I can’t get h
