“Everything you have seen in this video has been uploaded to several hard drives that will be distributed to every one of you. All you need to do is lay low and wait for my instructions.”

Mark said, and two security men walked in with a big box and started distributing the drives among them.

After the successful distribution to every partaking member, Mark raised his brow staring across the room, like a teacher supervising his students.

“It's about time we witness the shameful collapse of the Woodlucks. It's time for justice and fairness to take charge, and let new power rise in the country. God bless us all!” He said, spreading his arms in the air, and a round of applause filled everywhere.

Everybody had a contagious smile on their faces, they believed in him and couldn't wait to witness the destruction of the Woodlucks.

In the Woodluck mansion, Kelvin collapsed on the bed, his eyes fixated on the ceiling when he heard the low squeaking sound from the door.

    Mariana was alone in the house, as Johnny had returned and left for the hospital to see things for himself. She cursed herself under her breath and blamed herself for what had happened to Katherine. Her face was a mask of anguish, and her eyes, red and swollen from crying, spoke volumes about her grief. She sniffed hard, trying to control her growing rage and fear.“I'll get you justice baby. I will. I promise," she muttered, trying not to give in to the hot tears fighting for their freedom from her eyes. ***Kelvin had landed in Vancouzer the moment he heard of what just happened. He couldn't believe that of everybody feared, Katherine got the first attack. He didn't see that coming. He entered the police department in Vancouzer, and on seeing him approaching the front desk, every eye fell on him. “Mr. Woodluck, it's an honor to have to here again." The DPO said, and Kelvin looked around and back to him.“Indeed, it's an honor!" He growled silently, and the DPO widened his eyes.

    The next morning, Kelvin was sitting on his sofa when his security guard walked toward him.“Boss, the DPO from yesterday is outside. He said you're expecting him. He came with a young man who he claimed to be his nephew.” He said, and Kelvin darted his eyes around."Well, bring them in." “Ok, boss." He said, and Kelvin watched his back as he walked out of the house. He returned almost immediately, with the DPO and a young man in his later 30s.“Mr. Woodluck," the DPO said with a smile on his face, and Kelvin returned the smile.“Please, sit down and make yourselves comfortable," Kelvin suggested, and the DPO smiled. Kelvin shifted his gaze to the young man that had come with the DPO. “You must be the Nephew we talked about." He said, and the young man buried his gaze on the sofa feeling starstruck. “What's your name please?"“Umm… Jack. My name is Jack." He responded, and Kelvin nodded his head. “So, Jack. Tell me what happened that day. You were there when my Ex-wife was attack

    Mariana was making dishes and preparing to go see Katherine in the hospital. It had been 5 days since the incident, and Katherine was still in a coma.The operation and blood transfusion the doctors said they needed had been done, but it seemed it was up to her now. The doorbell rang, indicating that someone was around. Mariana walked to the seating room, but Johnny was not in. For the past few days, he had been avoiding her. He blamed her for what had befallen Katherine. She sighed and walked to the door tiredly. Her head ached, but she couldn't settle to think of herself at the moment. As she opened the door, to her greatest surprise, Kelvin was standing at the door with his dark shades on. Her brow furrowed, and she glanced around the compound with a perplexed look, unsure of what to do next.“Good morning, ma'am." He greeted her in a rather ugly tone, and she swallowed. Her face paled, and a look of shame washed over her features, like a cloud passing over the sun.She buried h

    On a very sunny afternoon, the dark cloud had obscured the sun, as it was about to rain heavily. Kelvin was sitting on his sofa in Vancouzer, when his phone rang, diverting his attention from the drama he was watching on the television. She glanced at the phone lying next to him and stretched out his hand. When he picked it up it was a call from Amara, Mark Muller's girl. A broad smile spread across his face, and he bit his lower lips. “Gotcha!" He muttered silently. He had been calling her for hours, but he got no response. The last time they met, she gave him her contact, insisting that he would need it someday. And as she said, the day has come. “Hello," he greeted in a soft tone. "Look who has been calling me all day. You have no idea how surprised I am right now, Mr. Woodluck." She said, and Kelvin scoffed.“Please, call me Kelvin. You don't need the "Mr…" title attached.” He said, and she mumbled inaudible words. “So who won at the tail end? I told you that a day shall come

    When they got to the hotel, Pamela sat on a blue cushion, her eyes darting around the space. It was her first time in that particular hotel. Mark placed their order, and after the waiter had left to fetch their meal, he glanced at Pamela and noticed that she wasn't familiar with the place. “Don't tell me you've not been here before,” he said softly, his eyes traveling around every part of her face, and she gasped. She turned and looked away from his position, she couldn't believe she agreed to watch lunch with the same sucker she had never liked for once. “What do you think of me, Mark? You think I'm a cheap slut that wanders from one hotel to the other huh?” She asked, her face fixated on a couple sitting at the far right from their position.They seemed older, she stared as the man fed his beautiful old woman a spoonful of rice. A cute smile etched across her lips, and she gasped. Mark trailed after her gaze and saw the couple. He smiled stylishly and darted his eyes back to Pa

    On a cold evening, the Stormy rainfall had brought about immense cold to the atmosphere. Becca alighted from the car with no sign of happiness in her. She was standing right before Mariana's residence.Mariana was in the kitchen when she heard the doorbell. She knew it had to be a stranger. Johnny had gone to the hospital. Katherine was going to be discharged, he wanted to bring her home by himself.Mariana furrowed her brow suspiciously. She knew that she was having an uninformed visitor. As she plodded towards the sitting room, Becca had already ushered herself in. She stood before the pictures on the wall, staring at them in admiration. Mariana rushed in and saw her standing on her feet. She froze and studied her carefully. Becca turned around, and their gaze met. “Hello, Mariana." She greeted her with a fake smile covering her burning heart, but Mariana scoffed and refused to be fooled by her smile.“What do you want, Becca? And who let you in,?” Mariana inquired hastily, but Be

    At the Woodluck mansion, Becca sat on the bed wearing her white pajamas. Her gaze drifted aimlessly, as she fell in deep thoughts about what had happened earlier today. Glimpses of her kneeling before Mariana crept into her mind, and she burst into tears. She couldn't believe a day like this would come. As she worried about what had happened, a second thought popped into her mind, that made her drop her pride aside. If Mariana had that video, why hasn't she used it against her family? She wondered. Suddenly, she remembered Mariana's words, saying others would avenge her, should anything happen to her or her kids. She exhaled deeply, her eyes had gone red due to excessive crying. She wiped her eyes and started pacing around the room. “Father is in the hospital, it's just me and you, Greg, what are we gonna do? Is it even necessary to tell you?” She lamented to herself and scratched her hair, a physical sign of her confused state. Immediately, the door went open, and Gregory enter

    “What are your reasons for telling me, Mariana? We agreed to leave Becca out of all these!” Gregory roared over the phone. Finding out that Becca has gotten some clue of what's going on took his marriage to a different turn. Mariana scoffed, trying not to fight back her anger. “You think I wanted her to know? No, I don't. Everything didn't work as I planned it. Becca wasn't supposed to come to me. She fucking threatened me, what do you expect me to do? Let her get to me first huh?” Mariana inquired, and Gregory held his forehead, a sign of his confused state. “That's why she's angry. You know what? Goodbye, Mariana. You've caused enough damage for today!” He yelled and ended the call immediately. He walked into the room, darting his eyes around. His gaze fell on a picture of his wedding day with Becca. She looked like a goddess under the morning sunlight, as her beauty radiated. He shook his head and walked out of the room, knowing things woul

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. As they drove into his compound, he alighted from the car and darted his eyes around. “Where is

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
