He gawked at Wujulan, and he instantly nodded his head, signalling that he knew nothing about what he was saying. James apologised and asked for an application,” I'm sorry about that. Can I see the application here?”“Yes, I will be glad if you can take a good look into it.” The minister respondedThe Minister called one of his bodyguards and whispered to him; he bowed and scurried out of the room. After eating, they moved to another living room. Min-ji was the favourite daughter, and her father built her house like his own house and had the same set of decorations as his, meeting Wujulan was mysterious to her parents. James and the Minister sat side by side on the chair, and they talked about the business and how it would help the development of their country, respectively. The duo wasn't making the deal because of money, but because of the growth and the connection between the two countries. James endorsed the project after careful consideration and sealed the business deal wi
He could not get who his father was arguing with on the phone, the record and her mother looked back and asked,” Is that him?”“Yes, still on it, we will discuss it when James is out of the picture,” David Winslow saidJames's parents were too cautious, they didn't say crucial or harmful things in the presence of their child despite not knowing what they were talking about, that was why James missed the opportunity to know who they were talking about. At this point he believed their death was not natural, he checked the date of the video recording, it was the previous day they lost their lives. He clenched his fist tightly, and replayed the scene over and over, he thought he could get a clue but nothing. Should he blame his parents for being too protective, if they had discussed the person in his presence, it wouldn't have been difficult to know who they had riff with. He stood up from the chair, he paced forth and back thinking of who to tell who would help him in the investigat
James woke up the next day and began to find out the cause of the accident that killed his parents. He headed straight to the police station, where the incident was reported. He wanted to know how the investigation was conducted, who was at fault, and how the accident happened. His chauffeur halted at the front of the dynamic police station, and he got down to open the door for him. James scurried inside, and he was greeted. Good morning, sir. What can I do for you?” a female police officer in her early 20s asked. “Good morning here. I'm James Winslow. I came to check the police report on the accident that happened on December 19, 1999.”The female officer smirked lightly when she heard his name. She was delighted to attend to James and said, “I haven't been born, sir. I will direct this to the DPO before I do that. I will check the date if the accident was reported. Please have your seat, sir. Why do I check the registration file?”“Thank you,” James said as he sat.The female po
Amelia's phone had been ringing continuously inside her room while she was dining with her mother and Dominic. The call had ended when she walked in and didn't bother to check on the caller.She paced forth and back, thinking of how to get back to America and get out of this mess when her mother walked in. Roseline was a fierce and wicked woman, and no one dared say no when she said yes.She slapped Amelia across her face the moment she entered her room. “Who do you think you are?” “How dare you disgrace me in the presence of Dominic? Do you know how much he respected me?”“Let it get into your skull; you are going to marry Dominic, and there is nothing you can do about it.” she spatAmelia didn't stay in Aston Villa to finish her education after completing high school because of her mother's gruesome act. Roseline hit her at any given chance; she had no love for her children since their father was no more, and her attitude chased John, the only son she had, out of the house until
Dominic groaned, “What! How dare the people who took her! Didn't they know she was my wife? No one touches my property; where are you?” “I'm in the middle of the road; I don't know what to do. Please help me find my daughter; she came home to marry you. Yeh… yehe ey.” She faked a cry and rolled her eyes; she knew Dominic could only hear her. Dominic clenched his fist tightly on the phone, “Please take it easy. I control the whole of the North District of Aston Villa; no one dares look into my eyes. Tell me anything you can remember about them,” Dominic asked. “Nothing, please help me." She responded with her pretentious expression. “Don't worry, go home; I will come and pick you up now.”“Alright, I will be going home.”Roseline ended the call. She dimmed her eyes, and a wicked smile curled up from the corner of her mouth. ‘Amelia, you have made a fool of me; the idiot you went to meet at Cherry Garden will suffer for it. Thank God I have fooled Dominic; he won't be mad at me, bu
“Mum, don't call him low life; there is no relationship between us other than friendship, and I won't marry Dominic for anything.”She raised her hand to slap Amelia, but James grabbed her hand and hung it in the air.James tightened his grip on Roseline's hand and warned, “Don't dare lay your finger on her.”Amelia was embarrassed by the ill attitude of her mother; she had not been a good mother to her since she knew her as her mother. Could it be that Roseline adopted her children? A sweat formed on Roseline’s forehead and she retorted, “She is my child; you can't tell me what to do with her.”“I didn't say she was not your child, but she is now a grown-up; can't you just be a good mother for once? You chased her away with your attitude; now that she is back, instead of living with her peacefully, you bring your old attitude; aren't you tired?”“Your useless poor Maureen is a bad mother, not me; is she still alive or dead of diseases before you become this little successful? I call
“Bribe! Who could have done that? I'm in charge of applications; I didn't receive any applications,” Anna interjected sharply, blinking her eyes. Anna” 's body tensed, and she began to show signs of discomfort, could it be she knew about the application and she lied? “I know that there was a loop somewhere; I had an issue with the minister's son-in-law; he might be the one behind it because he is not faithful, the application might not be got here, people working in his organisation could do it also because no one knew I could meet the minister, our meeting is by miracle” James explained.“It has to be the guy; no one dares collect bribes in this organization, I'm so disturbed right now, could something like that happen where I head? I'm suspecting the lady in my department, Laura, strange things have been happening since she arrived !” Anna confirmed “I just want to inform you about it so that you won't lose guard and people won't start using our name for dubious acts. Please be
Amelia had been locked up in a bare room for many days; she was denied access to her phone and laptop. She folded herself at the edge of the room, and then she heard the sound of the door opening. She didn't look up to see who came to visit her; she knew it was her mother. “How much are you selling me to him?” Amelia asked her mother with a cold expression.“I'm not selling you; I'm protecting you. I want you to marry a good husband.” Roseline replied “What about the business deal with Dominic? How much am I worth to you?” “I'm doing that to strengthen our relationship. I will sign a deal with him after your marriage." She chuckled “How much is the business deal?” Amelia asked again.Roseline was irritated by a constant query from Amelia: Why would she be questioning her decision? She thought she was not useful to her in any way. All these years she had been in America; she had not given her a reasonable amount of money than the $20,000 she gave her every month. She snapped at h
