Jerome woke up early in the morning. He went straight to the kitchen to prepare Eleanor's favorite dish: Jollof rice. This food became her favorite after seeing it on Facebook. She learned how to cook, and it became her favorite. She makes this food anytime she is angry or sad. “En, what is the boss doing here?" Jasmine rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't dreaming. She walked to him, and indeed, it was Jerome busily preparing his stew. “ I am sure this food is personally made for madam to quench her anger. What a sweet husband. “Boss," she called out to him.“Jasmine, come. Cut the vegetables, when you are done, cut the meat and marinate it. We must finish everything before Eleanor wakes up."“Oh, ok." Jasmine washed the vegetables and started cutting them.Around 8:00 a.m., the food was served. Eleanor woke up rubbing her eyes. The night was long without Jerome. She looked around the room to see if she could see Jerome. “Oh, I almost forgot I kicked him out yesterday. I wonder
Early in the morning, the city of Los Angeles was in uproar. News of the mayor circulated the internet, speculating that he was involved in human trafficking. It was said that to cover his crimes, he killed many people, erasing all evidence. Additionally, he was accused of being a drug dealer and eliminating citizens who opposed him, especially his daughter's critics. Some were raped, others disabled, and some lost their lives with their bodies never found.“Wow, I can't believe the mayor would do such a thing.”“Someone who would kill anybody who offends his daughter, do you think killing others for his political career is a big deal?”“But who brought this to light? I learned he has a powerful background, and no one has ever been able to go against him.”“You're right. I think the person might be powerful.”“Why do I feel the Caddel family is behind this?”“Yeah, aside from him, who else would do that?”"He has offended many. Gosh, this man is too dangerous; I wish not to offend him
His mother was a good woman, a person with a kind heart and a pure mind. She was beautiful and smart. When she met his father, people advised Bright's mother not to marry the man due to his questionable character. However, blinded by love, she didn't heed the warnings and proceeded with the marriage.Initially, everything was peaceful, but things took a dark turn. His father became a womanizer and began abusing Bright's mother. Despite advice to leave the marriage, she clung to hope that he might change. Bright's maternal parents disowned her, hoping to change her mind, but she remained stubborn.As her situation worsened, the man treated her like a servant, subjecting her to cruelty and even forcing her to witness his affairs with women. When she became pregnant, the abuse intensified, leading to premature birth due to constant beatings.When it was time to settle her bills, she couldn't pay and was driven out of the hospital. She returned to her home only to see her things parked ou
“I am not dead; why are you guys acting like lovers? People will think I'm a third party here," she roared.“Hahaha," Rosca laughed out loud.“Hahaha," Bright laughed.“Why are you guys laughing?" The lady said in a frustrated manner.“Isn't it funny? How can we be lovers? I would rather remain single than date a man like him," Rosca said.“Not you only. I would rather be a nun than to date a woman like you," Bright retorted.Rosca felt offended; did that mean she wasn't good enough? “How dare you! People are dying to date me; you should be honored,” Rosca gritted her teeth and pointed angrily at him."Hmmm, stupid fool. A girl with such a temper wants to date. I pity the guy you will marry. You just send her to his grave early.”The lady felt lonely; Bright had forgotten about her and was bickering with this lady. "You know what, I'm out of here. Continue bickering with your lover,” she said and left angrily."Starry wait, I didn't mean it,” Bright said and was about to chase her whe
Far away from Los Angeles… A sharp pain hit Mia which made her yell in pain. The security guard who had been guarding called the boss and informed him what had happened. The boss called the doctor. He didn't take Mia to the hospital. The doctor was one of the most renowned doctors in the city of America. “Doctor, do your very best to save her life if you want to live." The man threatened the doctor which made him shiver in fear. “Yes… sir,” the doctor stammered. The man hung up without caring for the doctor. Mia was his biggest pawn that he didn't want to lose. It would be so tiring to train another pawn. All equipment needed for her delivery was provided. Unlike Eleanor, Mia delivered easily. " It's a baby boy.” The doctor sighed in relief. His nervous expression earlier had changed to a wide grin. He quickly called the mysterious man. The mysterious man told him to give the phone to the doctor. " You did a good job as a doctor. ” The mysterious man said. “Thank you.." the man
“What do you mean?" Gaius knew Bright wouldn't say anything good.“I mean you could have been a journalist; why did you choose to be a businessman? You have wasted your talent,” Bright shook his head in disappointment."Hahaha,” they all burst into laughter. Gaius glared at Bright fiercely.….At the village…The leader of Jerome's men had been living in the village for three months. One day he was passing by at night when he saw six men chasing a young man.The man was good at running; he dodged them and hid in the bush. “He has been wounded and can't go far,” one of the men said."Let's split up." Another suggested. They all agreed and split into two.The leader stood there and analyzed the situation, “Did you see any young man wearing white trousers with a black shirt?" One of the group asked.“Yes, he went this way," the leader pointed straight to the road ahead of him."Thank you very much.” The man thanked him and left.After the group left, the leader of Jerome's men said in a s
“Boss, what do we do with the man Hayford rescued?"“Save him. He is still important to us. Since Tisha or whatever her name is will do anything to eliminate him, we will use him as bait," Jerome replied coldly. He will make sure he destroys the gang beyond repair. How dare they kidnap his grandfather.“What do we do next, boss?”“We will take action next week since it is the first Friday of the month."“But boss, if we are going to take action, why must we use the man as bait?"“She might not be the only person who has power in the organization. You can destroy a tree completely if you uproot it.”"I see. Right, till now we still haven't been able to identify the man who was tailing you at the restaurant.”"What! Is he a ghost? Bright, when did you become incompetent?” Jerome's tone was cold.“I'm sorry, boss. I will do my best to know more about him."“You should do it fast. I don't want any problems."“Yes, boss." After a short conversation, Bright said goodbye to Jerome and was abo
Finally, the due time has arrived. Bright met with the gang members. We are going to group ourselves into four; the first group will surround the village, and the second group will await at the entrance. Although some members might be with Tisha, I'm sure she will be short of manpower, and her only option would be to flee to the headquarters. Make sure to trace and find where the headquarters is,” Bright instructed."Alright, Boss," they all answered in unison.The gang members took three vans. The first group waited somewhere until 2:00 before surrounding the village.The second group didn't join the first group; they were waiting for the first group to signal them first.The last group remained in the hotel and didn't go out.... At Tisha's organization…"Tisha, everything is settled. We have one hour to go to the village.""Have you found the man?""No, it is like he has vanished into thin air with no traces of him.""That man shouldn't be kept alive. I will search for him myself i
