“Hey, my lovelies," Mariana purred and rushed to Katherine for a hug. Johnny stared at her, expecting her to read the room, but she seemed too excited to care about what was going on.

"How're you doing my beautiful girl? Why is your face so sad? Come on,” Mariana said to Katherine, caressing her hair gently. Johnny watched as she dragged Katherine into the house without looking in his direction, it was like he wasn't even there.

He exhaled and left the house immediately. As he got outside the compound, his mind drifted away, and a look of shame and anger appeared all over him.

The thoughts of Duncan coming to the house after trying to murder him in cold blood crept into his mind, and he remembered how he managed to get home that night.

His face reddened with uncontrollable rage, as he stared in the open space. A deep sigh escaped his mouth, and he walked out of the compound in anger.

Inside the room, Katherine was sitting on the bed next to her mom. Her face buried down on the grou

    “Can you listen to yourself, Mom? You don't even care about how I feel. You just want a daughter that would obey your every command without question. Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but that can't be me.” She said, shooting daggers from her eyes, and Mariana sighed Before Mariana could utter another word in her defense, Katherine stood up and walked out of the room hastily. When she got to the sitting room, she scratched her hair repeatedly, confused about what to do.Her eyes caught a glance of her phone lying on the chair, and she dashed forward and picked it up. A nervous swallow betrayed her guilt, as she stared at the screen.Different thoughts ran through her mind. Calling Kelvin wasn't just the problem, even if she managed to get him then answer her call, how would she explain what he saw earlier? She collapsed on the sofa, thinking of how best to explain herself to him. The front door opened, and Johnny walked back inside. He had a serious look on his face as he walked

    It was raining in Boston that night as Kelvin plodded towards the house. His face was dull, he tried to get his mind off what had happened in Katherine's residence earlier, but he couldn't get it off his mind. As he entered the house, there was a loud chattering from the large sitting room. He raised his brow, wondering whose voice he was hearing. It was a familiar voice. As he got closer, a low smile etched beside his lip as he realized that it was the voice of Mr. Lancelot.Mr. Lancelot was a family friend, it had been a while since he visited, and Kelvin couldn't help but wonder if all was well. Pamela's marriage to Frank was just a few days away, so it's only right that they got a more friendly visit from the family's friends. As he walked into the house, his gaze met directly with Mrs. Clarke, Lancelot’s wife. Her charming smile hadn't changed, despite all the years that had passed by. Every eye turned towards Kelvin, as he walked gently into the room with a vibrant ambiance.

    “Yes, that's what I thought. Who can blame you though? We've all had a taste of our hatred, pain, dislike. I'm not sure about anything right now, the only thing I know for sure is that I must preserve this family's legacy." Kelvin said, leaving Becca speechless. Her eyes darted around and settled on his face. Their eyes met, and Kelvin shook his head. No matter how strong he tried to be, she could sense his hidden pain. A deep sigh escaped her lips as she stared at him. “Do you want to talk about it? Sometimes I find myself in situations where I have to talk to someone. Too bad, most of the time I have none to talk to. This past few months was not what I expected it to be, you know," she said, and Kelvin nodded his head in agreement. “I take it that Mariana's return isn't good news. I can understand that. Sometimes I think we keep too many secrets from the people we care about, and it adds to our pain and frustration.” He said, and she narrowe

    “So, tell me. What was that about? You sounded very angry on the call, and I got scared. You also warned me never to advise you on anything again. Are you serious about that?"Pamela inquired, and Kelvin massaged his forehead, a direct evidence of his frustration. “Pamela please, ignore whatever I said on that call earlier. That wasn't me talking.”"Seriously? You still haven't told me what happened that resulted in that unfortunate call.” She protested, and he exhaled. His eyes squinted as if searching for clarity. He had lost track of his thoughts, and hence, he couldn't put into words the incident at Katherine's residence. A sudden silence took charge of the call until Pamela broke the awkward moment by clearing her throat.“It is a long story. Don't worry, I'm good now. At first, I was enraged, and that resulted in my actions during the call. But I met my Mom, she has given me the perfect advice I never knew I needed.”

    Early in the morning the following day, Kelvin drove to the Fubris Company without his regular security men. He always loved the comfort of driving alone. It was a new week, and business would go on a roll.As he settled in the office, Miriam, an ebony lady in her mid-20s entered the office. Her blue eyes glowed as the rays of the sun passed over them, and she opened a smile revealing her perfect set of sparkling white teeth. Her hourglass body shape was a perfect match for her height as she walked into the office majestically, feeling on top of the world. Kelvin paused, his eyes shone with admiration as he looked at her clearly in awe of her beauty.“Who might you be? You look like a goddess of the sun. Might I know your name and your intentions in my office?” He said, staring at her. His admiration was written all over his face, a combination of awe and lust.“I'm Miriam, boss. I'm surprised that you don't know of me, sir. I was employed here a

    That Saturday morning, the sun cascaded down upon the earth, its beautiful light radiating on the skin of the people as they went about their daily lives. It was finally the day of the wedding. Before the Courthouse, several flashy cars packed at the corner, as many wealthy and influential people in all of Turphey gathered to witness the first legal marriage of a Woodluck heir. Outside the courthouse, by the left side of the building, Kelvin was standing in the midst of Rolo and Declan, his two good friends who had traveled from England to witness the wedding of his beautiful sister, Pamela. Of all the beautiful looks and smiles on everyone's faces, Kelvin's anxious and furious gaze changed the settings of the lining. His brow furrowed deeply, and his eyes narrowed into fiery slits as he glared at the entrance door of the courthouse, looking to see no one in particular. He couldn't believe that after all his warnings, Pamela went ahe

    At the Woodluck mansion, the compound was booming with different luxury cars with wealthy and Influential personnel patrolling in and out of the house. Top politicians and businessmen in Turphey were trooping in and out of the house. The anticipation of the evening banquet and other entertaining activities hung out in the air. As Kelvin and his two friends entered the house, they were greeted by the presence of servants who offered them drinks to chill for the moment. They went directly to the garden outside the house. While they sat comfortably, Kelvin caught a glance of Frank walking back into the house after answering a phone call outside. He had a beaming smile on him, and Kelvin scoffed angrily, Kelvin wondered who he could be talking to at that time. Seeing that Frank was alone, he knew that it was a perfect time to have a chat with him without Pamela interfering as usual. He gulped down the remaining of his wine and smashed the glass on the table.“I'll be right back, guys.

    “What the hell is wrong with you, Kelvin? I'm your mother. Don't you dare raise your voice at me,” Becca said to him. He clenched his fist looking in the other direction. His rage was growing slowly, even though she had no idea about his reason for sudden rage. “Fine, his name is Mark, and his surname should be Muller. His father died a long time ago, honestly, I had no idea where he was and how he managed to grow into who he is now. He told me that he has a company in Vancouzer, is that how you knew him?” Kelvin shook his head lightly, ignoring her questions. He wiped his lips and turned towards her direction."What did he ask about? You don't know who that is, Mom. Everything you think you know about him is lies.”"He came back to Boston with a fake identity, but surely you don't want to talk about that right now. All you have to do is trust me. I know him better than you do, and I didn't invite him, of course, no one did.”

    “Assholes!" Kelvin cursed as he sauntered into the house. He went directly to the bar and poured himself a glass of whiskey.“Fucking assholes," he cursed again. He was panting heavily, after a long day at the police department, he had failed to convince the police that Mark Muller was behind the sudden death of Frank. Given the situation, it became obvious that Mark must be monitoring his movement, somehow, he managed to find out whatever he did or discussed with anyone. “Maybe he knows about Juliana already, or maybe he doesn't." Kelvin thought. He paced around the sitting room, thinking of the next move now that Frank was dead. His phone rang, and he glanced at the screen. It was a call from Dead Target. He sighed and dropped the glass of whiskey on the table gently. “What?" He said abruptly as he picked up the call. “I believe you have a mission for me. Let me hear it."Kelvin exhaled and left his seat with a little worry all over his face. “I was going to call you, but some

    Flying back and forth from Vancouzer to Boston was a hectic journey, but was it worth it? Kelvin sat comfortably in his jet, it was past 11 pm, as he flew back to Vancouzer. He had returned to Boston just as Juliana instructed in her texts, and the outcome wasn't all that he had expected. “Boss we're going down, please fasten your seatbelt,” the pilot announced, and Kelvin sighed. He did as instructed, and in less than a minute, they were on the runway. Kelvin gasped, peeping through the window. His mind drifted back to the moment in Boston, Juliana's palms caressing his chest, and building his urge till he couldn't hold back anymore.Flashes from the mind-blowing sex with Juliana came crawling back into his memory, and he let out a low smile. He took off his seatbelt and sauntered down the jet. His security team was already waiting at the airport with a fleet of cars to take him home. As they drove into his compound, he alighted from the car and darted his eyes around. “Where is

The situation behind Uncle Theo's arrest turned out to be a big disadvantage for his course, and there was no one to turn to for help. He left the bed and started making his Early morning push-ups when he heard his phone ring. He abruptly walked over to the bed and noticed it was a call from Fubris Company in Vancouzer. “What the hell?" He said and picked up the phone. It was just 7:30 am, while would he be getting such a call he thought, so he picked up the call.“This is Kelvin, what's the matter?" He asked curiously, and a dull female voice greeted from the phone, “Good morning, boss."“We have a problem," the lady said and Kelvin furrowed his brow. “Mind going straight to the point? I have too many scheduled for today."“Sir a government agency just came into the company and ordered a total lockdown of the company, and every staf

    On a Monday morning, Kelvin woke up late, it was a new day to face the troubles in the family. He grunted, struggling to leave the bed, but he clearly was too tired and needed more sleep. He glanced at his side clock, past 8 already. He jumped off the bed, today was the day when he got to represent his Uncle at the Silverwood Associates. He knew he couldn't mess things up by showing up late, so he rushed into the bathroom. In the blink of an eye, he was done and was dressing himself as fast as he could. A knock came on the door, and he paused. “Come on in," he screamed, and the door opened gently. An old woman walked into the room, wearing white and a kitchen apron on her.“Good morning sir, your coffee is ready as usual. Would you like me to make something else for you before you leave the house?” She asked, and Kelvin sighed. "Naah! Don't worry, Carolina, I don't have any time to eat. The coffee will do just fine,” he said to her and she took a bow before walking out. After dre

    “What does the cunny lady have for me this time? I trust that you bring good news? Spit it, I've got no time to waste.” Mark's husky voice said over the phone. Mariana swallowed nervously, her eyes darted around the room as she thought of the best way to say what she had in mind. Mark was someone she knew to be impatient and arrogant, his temper issues were something to be concerned about. She exhaled, darting her eyes around the room.“What is it? I don't have all day." He roared, and she flinched. She swallowed hard and pouted slowly."Uhm… there is a problem," she said. Sitting on his sofa inside his sitting room, he raised his brow, showing his concern for what she had to say. " Spit it out,” he commanded, and she swallowed.Fear engulfed her, thinking about what he would do when she told him the situation."It's Gregory. It happened just like you said. He is deviating from the plan, I think he is going to the police or press, I can't tell which exactly.” "Hmm!” He mumbled in s

    Katherine had her gaze steadied on the road as she drove downtown. A few minutes ago, she had a serious argument with her Mom, and it didn't end well. Her eyes were filled with sadness, as she stared at the road ahead of her. She had confronted her Mom about her involvement with Mark, but it didn't go so well. Due to her state of confusion, she packed her clothes and drove out of the house unsure of where she was going. It was past 10 pm when she drove into a hotel downtown. She decided to spend the night there, and then by morning, she would worry about getting herself another house. “Good evening, Ma'am," the hotel attendant greeted with a smile on her face, and Katherine blinked twice. She was not in a happy mood, hence her awkward expression. “How many I help ma'am??" The young lady on glasses said, and Katherine sighed. “I need a room for the night," Katherine announced, and she smiled. “Ok ma'am, hold on.
