Early the next morning, Amara walked out of her apartment dressed in white. It was a new day and the day for the meeting she had promised Kelvin. She drove downtown with a heavy heart towards her mission.

“God help me," she muttered as she prayed silently on the wheel. When she got to the usual meeting venue, it was an event center in a small hotel in Vancouzer.

A perfect spot that would hardly derive suspicion. Mark had already arrived at the meeting, his security men were positioned outside the hall as she walked past them.

“You're late," Mark called out to her as she walked down to their midst.

The attendees were Mark himself, a few senators, and Mariana, whom she couldn't identify.

“I'm sorry boss, I overslept. I didn't begin my schedule in time." She pleaded with a downcast gaze m, and Mark murmured and gestured her to sit.

The meeting was quick and direct. Less than 30 minutes later, they had concluded the meeting. Mark left for his car, and every other attendee took their l

    Inside a dark warehouse, Amara lay on the bare floor, her face was covered in blood, and her white dress had been stained with dirt mixed with blood. She lay helplessly on the floor, rolling around and hoping for an unexpected miracle. She crawled up to a pillar standing by the left, and two men trailed her from behind, following her steps closely. The door at the far end opened, and light shunned through the entrance. “Look we have here," a familiar voice spoke up from a distance, and a round of applause followed suit.“Amara Kingston. My beautiful, beautiful Amara.” Hearing those words, she darted her eyes in the direction tiredly and saw Mark standing above her with a mocking smirk. His evil eyes pierced into her, and she began to shiver. “You had the guts to betray me? Everything I did for you, bitch! I fed you. I picked you from the streets when you were nothing. I made you everything you are today. Yet, you ended up with Kelvin, my sworn enemy."She froze and a low gasp esc

She jolted up from the Jacuzzi and searched for her cellphone but she realized that it was in the room.She quickly turned off the shower and left the Jacuzzi She wrapped the white teeth towel around her waist, covering her unclad body.She speedily sauntered out of the bathroom.

    Pamela lay on the sofa white decorated bed in her prison room. Her eyes had gone pale due to excessive crying. She got proper attention, however, her freedom which was the most crucial thing she craved was denied to her.As she stared at the wall with sadness all over her, it dawned on her that crying wasn't the best option at that moment. She had to find a way and get the hell out of the place. A knock came on the door, but as usual, she didn't care to attend to it. The door opened, and the young man ushered himself into the room. It was Elias, the young man assigned to watch over her. “Are you already, Pamela?" He called, but there was total silence. She ignored his call and shut her eyes “Pamela?" He called again, and she rolled over the bed and shot a glare at him.“What is it?" “I'm asking a question. Are you alright? Do you need me to get you anything?" He asked again, his voice soft and compassionate. She scoffed with a mockery on her lips and shook her head disappointedly.

She was so busy that she couldn't notice the presence of her mother. Mariana stood still, staring at her in silence. She knew something terrible bothered her, but she was tired after a stressful day. She wanted to rest, and she didn't want Katherine's mood to stop her from taking a nap. “Are you ok, child?" She called, and Katherine jolted back to reality. She darted her eyes around and confirmed it was her mother. She sighed and shrugged off quietly. “What's the matter? You seem very disturbed." Mariana inquired, and she sighed again.“Of course, I'm disturbed. I just noticed som

    “Theophilus?" Becca screamed from the sitting room, running into the house with great speed. The tension bubbling within her was visible as her eyes squinted nervously. Theophilus rushed out of the room, dressed in a black suit. He was in a hurry to leave the house after speaking on the phone with somebody from Silverwood Associates.

    “Has the money been delivered?" Uncle Theo inquired over the phone. Finally, the Woodluck family had agreed with the unknown spokesperson of the kidnappers, and a ransom of 500 billion dollars had been reached. The same amount of money that had gone missing from the Silverwood Associates. It was the second day after the payment, and Pamela would be returning home in the next 5 hours. “Yeah, everything's in place,” Kelvin's deep voice responded over the phone. “Good. I can't wait to hold my baby girl I'm my arms. Thank you very much, Kelvin, you've done a lot to ensure that your sister comes back to us safely." "There's nothing to thank me for, Uncle. I did what every big brother would do for his little sister. By the way, how are you holding up?

The meeting was short and brief, and a conclusion was reached within 3 hours. As he stepped out of the building dressed in his expensive white suit, a fleet of luxury cars waited in the compound to drive him back home. He walked down the path with anger hanging on his face.“Mr Theophilus," a familiar voice called from behind, and he turned around and saw a magnificent curvy mature woman walking towards him. Of course, he recognized her at first sight. “Juliana?" He called, staring at her with a fake smile on his face.“What do you want? Are you following me around now?” He asked curiously, and she sighed and narrowed her gaze. “Damn Christ! You're beginning to bore me, Theophilus. I think you should b

    “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

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.

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

She was not in a happy mood, hence her awkward expression. “How many I help ma'am??"
