In Vancouzer, Kelvin was lying on his sofa half asleep, with the thoughts of Cara on his mind. Falling in love with a potential enemy was something he didn't see coming. He lay still, his gaze fixated on the table set."Fucking assholes," he lamented. His face was dull and tiring, he had been returning Cara's call, but she wasn't answering. He couldn't help but wonder what could be her problem. A loud ringing from his cell phone drew his attention, and he glanced at the phone vibrating on the edge of the table. He was too tired and wanted to ignore it, but on the second thought that it might be Cara's call, he got up and picked up the phone. Staring at the screen, the caller's identity was boldly written as Pamela. He inhaled deeply and rolled his eyes in disappointment. Pamela's call was the last thing he wanted. He picked it up and placed the phone in his ears, without uttering a word. "Hey big boy," her melodious voice rang out. Her voice was so soothing and could ease one's pa
"Yeah, check your email address, I sent the location to you. I'll be right there when you come. And please, no one must know of our meeting here today." Gregory said to Mariana on the phone, his eyes filled with so much concern, knowing that the consequences wouldn't be good, especially for Mariana. It was past 7 in the evening, and Gregory had told Becca that he would be going on a business trip to Pukky that day. But here he was, in a hotel in Boston, waiting to meet his beloved Mariana. "Ok, I understand, I'll come immediately," she said, and he ended the call abruptly. After he had ended the call, he inhaled deeply, thinking about Mariana's presence. Everything he felt for her years ago was still there. Seeing Mariana again had just reawakened that feeling he thought he had buried for years. He sighed, and wiped his face, before heading to the bathroom for a quick shower. He stepped into the jacuzzi and turned on the shower, letting the warm water pour down on him. He gaspe
Mariana lay on the bed, panting hard underneath Gregory. They had just finished a very passionate sex. The smile on her face, as she stared at the ceiling, you could tell she missed that wonderful experience. He planted a soft kiss on her lips and rolled over on the bed, his gaze locked on the ceiling. They remained silent, eyes facing the same direction, Luke they were having the same thoughts.He stole a glance at her and smiled. She rolled over, grabbed his cheek, kissed him, and jumped off the bed."That was great," he muttered, staring at her as she stood before him totally unclad. She winked at him playfully, and walked into the bathroom to clean herself up. After she had left the room, the realization hit him on the bed where he lay. He sat upright and began to think about what he had just done. He had broken his promise to Becca and Kelvin.He knew that if Becca should hear a word of what just happened, that would be the end of their marriage. He sighed deeply, his face show
The following day, Gregory was still in the hotel. He had resolved to spend the previous night there, it was all part of his idea of defense, should in case matters arise.He had loaded his briefcase in the car and was about to hit the road when his phone rang for the umpteenth time. He glared at the vibrating phone, it wasn't a call, just a notification.He ignored it and sauntered out of the room. As he drove gently on the road, another notification popped up on his phone. This time around, it caught his attention. He picked up the phone, ignoring safety rules while driving. As he unlocked the phone, a video message appeared on his screen from an unrecognized number. He clicked on the video, and his heart skipped.A video record of his sexual and romantic affair with Mariana the previous night was glaring back at him. He stepped on the brake out of shock, causing the car to make a squeaking noise. The car came to a stop abruptly, and the road guide enforcement officers ran in his
It was snowing heavily on a Monday morning in Vancouzer, Kelvin plodded towards the prison gate with a huge cigarette in his mouth. A fleet of luxury cars parked right behind him, signifying the presence of a VVIP. Two prison security men sauntered towards him with a broad smile on their faces."Good day, Mr. Woodluck," their voices echoed in unison. Kelvin brought out the cigarette from his mouth and smiled at the men who looked pleased to see him. He darted his eyes across the prison wall and entered through the gates, with the prison security and his guards behind him. His posture and aura commanded respect as he gently entered the prison. "Good morning, Mr. Woodluck. To what do I owe this pleasant visit?" The prison Warden said, extending his hand for a handshake while smiling sheepishly. Kelvin stared at the silent space, wondering where all the prisoners were. "I didn't expect to find this place as empty and deserted as this. What's going on?" He asked, pouring the smoke f
"If you really went to the Capital to visit the family, then you should know never to mess with them. Kelvin is a good person, Mom, we offended him first, and he only gave us a taste of our own medicine. I think we deserve what we got in prison.""After all, we intended to break his legs and leave him begging in the streets hopelessly. So if you love me and Katherine enough, then I suggest you do as I say. Because, I'm quite sure Katherine would say you're acting crazy if she was here." Johnny said with his hands clapped together. Mariana looked into his eyes, his fears and worries were visible, she smiled and walked away silently. "Mom!" He yelled at her, and she paused just right as the path to the kitchen. "You will doom us all," he muttered, and she scoffed and continued her walk to the kitchen. Johnny held his hair and kicked the wall so that it hurt him. He grunted in pain and shot his angry eyes towards the kitchen path.He had returned home with happiness that finally he w
After the meeting with Gallagher, Kelvin sat on the balcony, letting his mind travel back, scaling through the past events that had happened. So many troubles were building up against his family, but he was the only one who could see it.The arrogance of the other family members wouldn't let them identify the threats coming in. Yes, they were rich and Influential, but they weren't the only people with influence in the country.Kelvin understood that, and he had decided not to let power stop him from using his head. He saw troubles building up from all angles, but they seemed similar. He knew he had to find out the plot, before it blew on their faces.A loud thud from his left brought him back to his senses, and he saw Uncle Theo, staring at him with a grin on his face. "I know that look, boy. I've been noticing you ain't yourself for some time now. I used to think maybe it was the thoughts of Katherine playing in your head, but clearly it seems to be more than that." Uncle Theo said,
At around 7 p.m., Kelvin drove out of General Orlando's home with Cara by his side, right on the passenger seat of his Lamborghini AVENTADOR SVJ. The streets were rough and busy, and fancy lights hung out in every shop, following the anticipation of the long-awaited Christmas. Kelvin drove quietly into the COBMENIR HOTEL. The hotel was no different from the shops on the streets, beautiful colorful lights hung in every corner of the hotel."People just can't wait, it ain't fucking Christmas yet," Cara said, looking out of the passenger window glass, as she unfasten her seatbelt."You should know that life ain't fair sometimes, and people want a reason to be happy, Christmas is an excuse to forget all their worries and focus on joy and happiness," Kelvin said, smiling brightly. They alighted from the car and walked into the hotel quietly. As they settled down, Kelvin made their orders, while Cara glanced at him, admiring his appearance. He turned around and their eyes met. "Are we g
