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
Gregory got home very confused. He lay on the bed, thinking of how to meet the requirements of the lady, without exposing his issues to the family. The money was there, but what excuse did he need to take it without making account for it?He couldn't take unnecessary risk, because Mariana's life was at stake, should Becca find out about them. As he lay quietly, drowning in his thoughts, the door went wide open, and Becca joined him on the bed.She stared at his boring face, she could sense something eating him up. She patted his cheek, and stared into his eyes."What's the matter? you don't look so good," she said, feeling concerned about him. He had to force a smile, to make her worry less, but she knew him too well. And he knew she could be very persuasive. But, not this time.Gregory was ready to take the secret to his grave, if need be, as long as he was protecting Mariana. "Come on, let me help you." She urged him, and he smiled and patted her cheek."I'm fine darling, I'm just
"Great! So Cara is visiting you in Vancouzer? And you'll always warn me against Frank, yet, here you go." Pamela's voice echoed from the phone. Kelvin let out a low laugh and fixed his canvas. "My case is different Pam, I know what I'm doing, but clearly you don't. Because if you do, you wouldn't be bringing Frank close to any of the family's finances." He responded in a cool voice. He was standing in his room, fully dressed in a simple pair of jeans and a white T-shirt. Cara had phoned him earlier, requesting permission to visit him in Vancouzer.It was very big news for him. He had arranged to show her around when she got there before Pamela called him. "Forget about that, I actually know what I'm doing. Bringing Frank closer to the family is to test him to know if you're right about him. If he betrays my trust I'll kick him aside in the blink of an eye," Pamela responded confidently, and Kelvin widened his eyes in surprise. A low mocking laugh escaped his mouth, and Pamela felt
Cara was standing in wait, she had arrived at Vancouzer airport 20 minutes earlier. Kelvin had informed her he was on his way, but 20 minutes later, he was yet to arrive. She grew bored and decided to find her way to a hotel.As she was deliberating on taking a cab, he drove in with his Lamborghini. A warm smile spread across her face, and she dragged her little luggage towards his car.The cool breeze carried her hair back and forth, and across her face. She got to his car and knocked on the passenger window glass. He turned as he saw her and was stunned by her beauty.He quickly opened the door and she ushered her in. She smiled happily, seeing him staring at her in admiration."What? Stop looking like you've not seen me before now." She said with a bright smile. "Your beauty is timeless Cara. I just can't stop admiring you. How was your journey?" He said, and she smiled at him, but she had a feint of sadness that he hadn't noticed. "Yeah, was cool. Thanks. So your house huh? I ca
Fear, Tension, and Panic filled the air, as Kelvin gazed at Cara's lifeless body. His lips quivered, and he swallowed hard."This can't be." He thought. He widened his eyes, analyzing the terror before him. He was in shock. It all happened so quickly."Ambulance!!" He cried out and knelt before her lifeless body. The crowd circled him, watching the terrific scene in shock. His scream could be heard from a distance, as he shouted in pain, "Can somebody call the emergency services?!" In no time, an ambulance arrived and they quickly put her in. He entered his car and followed the ambulance behind as they drove quickly. His eyes became watery, he couldn't think straight anymore. He wiped his eyes again and again, ignoring his ringing cell phone. "Cara please, wake up, wake up." He kept muttering to himself. As they got to the hospital, he ran after the wheel stretcher, pushing aside every doctor and nurse who tried to stop him. When they got to the hospital emergency room, he wanted
"I'm sorry, but there is something I need to take care of here. You guys can go, I'll catch up soon." Gregory said to Theo, after he managed to drag himself back to them."Is this a joke? Gregory your son is out there in the scene of this misfortune. What's more important than being with him now?" Uncle Theo asked, curiously, and General Orlando glared at Gregory. "I understand what you mean Theophilus, and trust me, I won't be leaving if it's not important. Y'all can go. I'll meet you shortly," Gregory said and turned around, making it clear to them that he wasn't asking for permission. As he threw a few steps further, Theo stopped him."At least, take some men. We don't know if this was an intentional attack on any of our families. You don't want to risk being alone," Uncle Theo suggested, but Gregory nodded his head in disapproval. "I'll be fine. That's for your concern." He said and walked away quickly."Greg! Greg! Greg!" Theo called repeatedly, but he ignored him and drove aw
At sunrise the following day, Kelvin had arrived at the hospital. He suspended work for the day, because his mind was occupied with different thoughts, and he couldn't focus on anything. He sat beside her sick bed, staring at her intensely with a guilty countenance. Her face was bruised, with a fractured left hand. Seeing that she was still in a coma, he kissed her forehead and stood up to leave.The door went open, and Gregory entered the room hastily. He froze on seeing her condition. "Hi son," he greeted Kelvin, patting his back."Hi Dad, you came?" Kelvin muttered, his voice low and tired. "Yeah, I came as fast as I could. How did this happen, Kelvin?" Gregory asked curiously, and Kelvin sighed. His gaze fixated on Cara. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you. I've been saying it for a long time, but no one is taking it seriously." Kelvin said, staring at his father with anger in his eyes… "What do you mean? Talk to me son," Gregory said. "Whoever that driver was Dad, he was
2 weeks had passed, and Cara was yet to wake up from Coma. Her situation had not changed, except that her physical injuries were improving. Uncle Theo and General Orlando's friendship had fallen apart again.The general accused the Woodlucks of conspiring to kill his daughter, and no amount of plea from the family could make him think otherwise. The police on the other hand had been doing their best to catch the driver who knocked her into Coma. But it was just as if the crime never existed, and the culprit had vanished into thin air. After spending 2 weeks away from the company, Kelvin finally decided to resume. The day was young and promising, Kelvin drove out of his mansion with his security guards. He had decided to keep close security, in case someone was coming for his family. As they got to the company, all eyes fell on him as he alighted from the car. The employees stared at him admiringly and began to mumble, but he didn't care to look at anybody. He sauntered towards hi
