They both smiled at each other, the house was about to book again. There was never a boring time in the Woodluck family home, not when Kelvin was present. But now that he had returned, a lot had changed.

"Where is he? Where is my son?" A deep masculine voice roared happily, his excitement could be heard in his voice as he spoke. Kelvin stood up from his seat with a smile on his face. It was Gregory, his father. He sauntered towards his father, and they fell into a warm embrace.

No matter how Frank tried to cheer her up, she couldn't forget the fact that her Grandpa may not wake again."Hey," Frank whispered, as he returned to her with two glasses of strong alcohol. He thought maybe it would help ease her mind, but she wasn't drawn to his mischievous smiling face."You can't beat yourself up Pamela, come on, granny ain't even dead yet. You just have to believe that he'll get better, no matter how long it takes." He said to her, She looked at him and sighed.

As he opened the door, his sleepy eyes fell on Frank's angry countenance. Kelvin quickly put his hands together, in the form of a plea. A wild smile spread across his face, but Frank's expression remained hardened. He quietly pushed Kelvin aside and entered the house, without saying a word. "Come on bro, I'm sorry. I've been asleep, I can't even believe I slept this long. Like bro, everything is fucked up these days, I don't even know how to react."

He wanted to give Pamela a call, but he didn't know what her reaction would be. He bit his lips in confusion and dropped the phone on the bed.

She explained, staring back at Benita. "I need to go babes, I'm sorry." She said apologetically."No, we need to go. I'm tired by the way," Benita said in support of her, and the other

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 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.

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.

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

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. Would you prefer a regular room or a VIP room?” After a short consid
