Jerome sat in his chair, his fingers massaging his forehead. He had been overworking himself lately, trying to clear his head. Deep down, he felt a sense of impending danger looming over his family, himself in particular, but he couldn't quite pinpoint what it was. All he could do was to keep increasing his security measures.His solitary moment was interrupted when Bright entered his office, studying him as he approached the desk. Bright could tell that Jerome was truly disturbed, but he hesitated to ask what was wrong."Boss!" Bright called out, but it seemed Jerome was lost in his thoughts."Boss," Bright moved closer and tapped him gently on his shoulder, jolting him out of his thoughts."Bright?" Jerome came back to his senses and called out to him."Good day, Boss. You sent for me," Bright said, hesitant to ask the question he had in mind."Yes, I'll be meeting with a company concerning our business deal. Since Eleanor isn't returning to work anytime soon, I need you to come wit
Rosca and Eleanor was still having a good time in Rosca's house when Eleanor felt a strange sensation in her, it felt as if something bad just happened.She picked up her phone to check for any message or call from Jerome but there was none. She grew worried and called him but his number was not going through."What is wrong Eleanor? Your mood suddenly changed," Rosca asked when she noticed her friend's change of mood."Something is just not right, I can feel it in me and it has been almost an hour since Bright left but Jerome has not called me and that is so unlike him. I just pray everything is alright," Eleanor complained"You think too much bestie. I am sure he is in the middle of a meeting or something, he get back to you when he has time. We were all here when he called Bright for work remember, so just chill ," Rosca assured her"His line is not going through at all that is what makes me worried. I just hope he is fine like you said," Eleanor said restlessly"I know he is, here
It is evening now and yet the doctors are yet to come out,"What is happening in there? Are they trying to give me a heart attack or what?" The old master yelled impatiently, he was acting all strong before his family but deep inside him, he was scared to death. "Grandpa, why don't you take Grandma home to have some rest? I will give you a call when the doctors come out," Annika said, trying to convince the old master"I am not going anywhere till my grandson wakes up," the old lady muttered weaklyThe intense crying seems to have taken a toll on her, her system is slowly shutting down"Come on mother, do not be stubborn. Would you rather have your grandson meet his grandma sick because of him? You know Jerome will not like that," Cornelius, Jerome's second uncle said.He has been quiet all this while observing the situation. He just could not place what at all was happening to their family, ever since Jerome came into the family. The young man looks harmless, though he can be a dev
A car pulled up, the door opened, and out emerged the old master his aura screaming darkness. He took long strides into the basement, his men did not stop bowing at him as he walked passed them.The butler felt his presence and acknowledged him"Where is he?" The old master muttered coldly"He is in the torture room," the butler replied quicklyThe old master walked briskly to the torture room and barged in, the sight he met gave way to a murderous grin to plaster his face.The old master stretched his hand and took a gun from the butler, walking to his prey immediately. He turned on the lights, and the man came into view.His face is almost unrecognizable as a result of the beatings he received from the guards.They thrashed him mad after capturing him according to the old master's order.He was tied to a metal pole, and he couldn't even move his neck to look up. He's as good as dead.The old master's neck veins were revealed when he remembered how bloody Jerome looked.How his wife
James kept pacing around in his room while Annika just sat on his bed feeling relaxed.Jerome has passed one night in the hospital already and yet they seem not to find a way to end him. Of course just as expected the old master did not fail in getting a military enforcement to guide both his ward and the whole hospital as well with the help of Steve.Steve was not in town when the unmentionable happened but he had to rush down to the hospital together with Gaius when they heard it. Currently, the only people allowed in the ward are Bright, Eleanor, the old master, Mrs Cadell, Gaius, and of course Steve. They gave that kind of instruction for the sake of his safety. This is making it difficult for James and Annika to execute their plan. The bottle they were given by the mysterious man is still in their custody but how do they inject it when all these hefty men are standing in front of the ward?James tried going in this morning but he was blocked and denied entry...........a few ho
It's past some hours now and Eleanor is yet to come, Gaius had to leave because his wife called for his attention so now it's just Jerome and Steve in the room.A nurse came in later to attend to Jerome giving him some doses of injection to help him heal faster. Somehow the injection got him drowsy and not long after he fell off to sleep, making Steve frown."What did you do to him ?" Steve demanded."I just gave him his afternoon medication, it will help him to relax more so that his wounds will heal faster," the nurse explained, she picked up her tray and began walking to the door but Steve stopped her with another question."Who are you?" he questioned.The nurse sighed when Steve began to ask too many questions but she answered anyway because she knew it was for the safety of the young Master of the Cadell's family."My name is Grace, I am the nurse who has been assigned to take care of the young master during his stay here," the nurse answered."Are you the only one who is suppo
A car stopped in front of the Cadell's mansion, James came out and quickly rushed to the other side of the car, helping Annika out. She groaned in pain as her feet met the ground, her knees were bleeding badly and her wrist hurt too.She had bruises on her face as well, giving her a bad look."Let's go through the back door," James suggested.She was finding it difficult to walk so James had no option but to carry her before anyone saw them. As if their fate had been cursed, it happened that the old master was walking through the garden which is the same way the back door leads to before entering the mansion.James thought he was careful but the old master caught him before he could step into the mansion."James?" The old man called with a frown.James froze recognizing who that voice belonged to, it was none other than the person whom he was trying to avoid. As soon as he drove in he knew of course the curious old man would not let him rest without asking questions, that is why he c
Eleanor sat in the empty ward waiting patiently for Jerome who was taking forever to come out."Do you plan to spend eternity in the bathroom? Come out already,"y Eleanor said irritatingly."Give me an hour more I need to scrub this smelly hospital away from my body," Jeremy shouted from the bathroom."What, an hour!!! how can you spend an hour to just bathe? Please come out and continue with your wasting of water in your house, this is not your house," Eleanor burst out with anger.“It's not my house but it's my grandfather's hard-earned money that built this building," Jerome boasted."It is your grandfather's hard-earned money so you want to waste it?" The old master said jokingly, entering the ward."Good morning, grandpa" Eleanor bowed respectively."Stop, playing tricks on me Eleanor. I know my grandpa is not here, you could have just said you want to leave. Why threaten me with my… Grandpa, you are here?" Jerome's words came to an abrupt end when he saw his grandpa sitting rel
