Around 7 p.m. the same day, Pamela had retired back to her mansion. She was stressed out and needed to rest. With her white sexy lingerie, she lay still on her sofa. Her mind couldn't get away from Kelvin's warnings.

She tried to convince herself that he was mistaken, but she couldn't believe it herself. She gasped softly, thinking about her weekend date. When she finally got what she had wanted, another thing was up to take away her happiness.

She lay still, facing the ceiling, and thinking of what to do. After so much consideration, she decided to postpone their date, or probably put an end to it.

She picked up her phone to dial Frank's number. But how would she tell it to him? She gasped when she realized that she wouldn't be able to tell him. So she decided to send it to him via text.

After texting him that she won't be available for their date on the weekend. She left for her room, with sleepy eyes. When she got to the room, she heard a loud thud from outside, and quickly chec

    It was snowing heavily on a Friday night in Vancouzer. For the fact that the next day was the weekend, Katherine had gone on a girl's night with her best friend Benita, and some other girls. They were having fun in the club, when Katherine glanced at her phone screen and saw 8 missed calls from her mom. She was perplexed by the call. Immediately, she realized that her mom had told her that she would be returning from her short trip that very day. "Jesus Christ, what was I thinking?!" She exclaimed in shock, when she remembered that her mother was not with the key to the door locks. "What's the matter?" Benita asked with great concern, her blue eyes fixated on her best friend, as she noticed how worried she looked."My Mom, I think she's back, and she's stuck outside. Because I'm with all the keys." 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

    "That's her. Right?" Kelvin asked Frank, staring at a young beautiful blonde at the far end of the clubhouse. Her beauty shined bright, like the rays of the early morning sun.

Kelvin said, punching him lightly in the back."Give me one good reason why I should be able to identify a girl we met weeks ago. Besides, I didn't spend enough time with her." Frank said i

Finally, she was on her way to Boston, the capital city of Euphoria.She had searched for the Woodluck family residence in the Urban area, and with the help of the internet, she could easily locate the place. She sneaked out of the house after Katherine had left for work. When she landed in Boston, she boarded a cab directly to her destination. A few minutes later, she was standing right in front of the house. Dead silence engulfed the street, it was normal for the Urban areas. She scaled through the silent road, and all she could see was one big house and another.She sauntered towards the Woodluck mansion gate. When she got to the huge gate, a young man opened up to attend to her. "Good day ma'am, please, state your reasons for coming." He said to her politely. She stole a glance at the compound from the little view she had through the gates. She was marveled by the beauty. "I want to see the Woodluc

    "I've always loved you, Mariana. Truth is, at that time, I needed something other than love. I needed to be successful, and Becca could give me that. I'm sorry I put you through all that. You didn't deserve it." Gregory said to her, his eyes filled with pain and regret. "But if given the chance in the same situation, you'll do it all over again won't you?" Mariana asked, holding up her cutlery tightly. She glared at him, and he sighed.He shifted his gaze to the direction of the sitting room, knowing someone had just arrived. "Answer my question, Gregory!" She yelled at him, but he kept still. He couldn't look her in the face, because she knew the answer to that question. He would do it all over again, if given a chance. "Where the fuck has everybody gone," Becca's voice sounded tiredly from the seating room. Gregory sighed, and ran his hands across his face. "You should go," he said to Mariana. His voice was like a whisper, and a wild smirk spread across her face, mockingly. "Y

Uncle Theo dashed forward, with a smile on his face, on seeing the general walking towards him, with his hands spread wide in the air. Kelvin followed him behind, counting his steps, to ensure he wasn't walking faster than him. His eyes traveled around the compound, observing everything of interest. There was a red garden by his left, he stared at the beautiful red flowers, until Uncle Theo's voice called his name, drawing his attention.

He thought, but Uncle Theo called his name again, and he fastened his step.Standing before him was General Orlando. He was tall, and hefty. He had a very large mustache that made him look sca

    "How dare you come to my house and tell my father about our meeting? Do you have any idea what that might cost me?" Cara yelled at Kelvin, as they were alone in the sitting room. General Orlando had led Uncle Theo out to the garden. By doing so, they gave Kelvin and Cara some privacy.Kelvin stared at her with a grin on his face. He combed his hair with his palms and peeped if there was anyone around."You should be happy I didn't talk about our meeting in Vancouzer," he whispered, and she paused in fear. She lowered her shoulders, feeling embarrassed. Her father was a very strict man, and wouldn't take such news lightly. "Oh! Please. You lost your sense of humor huh?! I was joking about that and you know it. If I was going to tell anyone we wouldn't be having this discussion." Kelvin interrupted quickly, seeing how worried she had become. "Hey listen, it's not funny. I know you think it's funny, but it's not. Don't make such jokes, please. And besides, I was drunk. You wouldn't da

In truth, she was scared of Mariana, because she was the one person that could ruin her beautiful marriage. "Okay… okay," she said and wiped her eyes clean."I came back home 3 days ago, son. I was surprised when I got to the dining and saw your father and his first lover back in high school. You won't believe son, it's Katherine's Mom, Mariana

    “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

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.

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