"Nice sketches, where did you get them?", Nicholas asked as the drawing enticed him. "Someone new, he applied for a job recently and this, is a sample of his work." "Looks good. I say you give him a trial." "I was about to, but then you came in. Any problem?"Nicholas sighed. " I just need you go over some document and sign them." "What documents?"As she asked, Nicholas placed them on the table. " I got some lands and I want you to sign the ownership files. Since you own this side of the property.""Well that true.

You're not escaping me today Mathew, not today." Strangler said with a gothic tone it simulated a whisper.As they ran deep, Daniel heard the incoming footsteps and Mathew could hear them either. This made them bring out their pistols as they ran aiming behind as they made their moves.They continue running until they got a sudden stop before a miniature water way thanks to a wide pipe that ran through the underground. There were two paths that led into the underground and it's left for them to know where they're actually going. Luckily, Daniel took to the right since its where the waters were piped from. Mathew tagged along but before they could know, shot guns sounded.Shot! Shot! Shot! Cling! Clung! Clang!Guns were heard fired and bullets were heard bouncing off the metal pipes, Mathew was lucky to his himself immediately he took a rapid turn to his right behind Daniel. The sound of the gun fire woke Damian but Daniel seems go have him under control. They kept running and gun fi
"C'mon Laura, is that how to greet or welcome your lovely family?" Simon asked carrying Damian on his shoulders "Let bygones be bygones, we aren't against each other. Why the hardness?" He added "Chilax sis." He added playfully snarling his nose on Damian's nose.Laura remained calm as she sat on her comfy chair, she watched as her family made their ways towards each sofas and have their seats. She waited for them to go on with why their came into her office but no one said anything except Simon who was busy playing with Damian. So, Laura decided to break the silence instead."Why are you all here?" She asked and they looked up to her but that never stopped her from asking the same question again "Why are you all here? I thought we had a deal of you not showing up ever in my family affairs." She added and this made Simon angry but he slowly controlled himself.Mrs. Ayo consoled her "We are only fighting for what's great for you, we are not stupid greedy family, we are one of a kind."
It was a splendid morning as the streets were already occupied and roaming with pedestrians and vehicles. A yellow taxi zoomed in sight and stopped almost immediately before a very tall skyscraper, the tall building was fenced by metal wired walls which would prevent intruders from jumping in or out because they would either die of electrocution or instead wouldn't jump. There was also a metal gate at the entrance of the building guarded by four security men dressed in what seems like cops outfits and are heavily armed with rifles and shot guns. Observing the vicinity from the taxi, they realized the vicinity of the Fortune Construction Company is also guarded by CCTV cameras. Thus, this gave the company a very high level of security even Strangler had no other choice than to reverberate his thoughts.Strangler sat at the back seat, he was dressed in a black leather jacket, white top underneath, black trouser and white boots. He also wore a black shade over his face shrouding his e
Nicholas TownhouseHe slammed the door behind, sealed the locks and sank on the first thing he could lay his buttocks on, a short stool. His heart was beating fast, so fast he could hardly put his breath under his control. He looked at the door awaiting someone to knock but no one came knocking, he might have missed him or either his chaser has left him to keep on running.Knock! Knock! Knock!Not long, he hard the hard knock on the door. He was petrified with fear, so much fear his lives flashed before his eyes and suddenly, his whole body felt paralyzed. Unable to move not even the smallest vein and muscle in his body, he just sat on the stool breathing and sweating profusely like a sprinter that went on a marathon.Knock! Knock! Knock!Came the knocks again and this time came the elderly tone of Nicholas along Sarah. His fear suddenly depleted on hearing that and he jolted on his feet immediately running to unlock the door. With the door unlocked, Nicholas and Sarah walked in distu
Unknown HideoutThe room was as quiet as usual with nothing but Daniel only seating in the middle of the room on the cement floor. His mind was hazy with not a straight mindset but tentacles, his face was obviously white as snow with nothing but hatred boiling within him. With Fortune Construction Company under Laura's control, his legacy is nothing but secured and safe in the right hands. His only target is making the Laura family pay.His thoughts were still paranoid when he heard the door open.it was a sharp turn as Mathew suddenly arrived early. He was disturbed by this as Mathew has never arrived early from the drug lord's hideout without given permission to be free.He rose on his feet against Mathew as he locked the door behind "What's the rush Mathew? You've never been back early from the cartel meeting, what's wrong?" He caused out questions at him rapidly.Mathew was sweating profusely his black t-shirt was soaked like he just experienced a gang hunt. He was petrified and t
New York cityHis butts got the softness of the comfy taxi chair, his mind went through the valleys of observation and realization to his present move even though Mathew warned him not to move an inch out of his secret prison. After getting to realize the whereabouts of the prison and ways out, Daniel made his way all the way from a forest outside of New York into the city just to make some findings. That's why he was dressed in what seems like a camouflage to him, shading hinself from the eyes of humanity just to avoid been seen by slightly, a kid.During the days of his fame and popularity, Daniel is by far one of the most recognised men on the planet with identity so great than the government themselves. To protect his fame from leaking, he dressed up in the most hideous outfit ever which was a pair of brown long hooded coat that stopped at his ankle, black shirt and trouser underneath, finalising it all with black navy boots. This quite went well with his surrounding since it was
Daniel ManorThe most elegant building in the whole wide world filled with almost everything required. The Daniel Manor named after the richest playboy billionaire on the planet is a place of fancy attraction, entertainment, luxury and graciousness.The building is like an island far from the initiation of Americans occupying other cities and states. The building is impressively enforced with enough technology and science to a bizarre level one would compare it to be magical. Surrounding most of the landscape was a forest, either ways called a jungle with enough armed and genius security guards dressed mostly in suits and others dressed in Black jackets and trousers. There was a wide road that lapped through the island creating a one way panel into the manor deep within. Three red Royce and white Mercedes-Benz appeared through the asphalt road and across various security guards but none stopped for security check since they belongs to Mrs. Laura's family. The miniature complex busi
Nicholas TownhouseNicholas was a bit faster than Dean could imagine, Dean was already letting loose of his worries and now, his intakes of bravery are now getting more durable than normal. Ad Nicholas dodged a straight blow to his face, he stepped back few steps just to regain his equilibrium. Matter of fact, he was effectively ready for Dean's next move ahead of time.As Dean drove forward like a launched missile, his stepping feet fluctuated causing a stain. Another punch launched out like a tree log against Nicholas face but the latter tweaked off the attacked spot and walked pathetically like a lumpy patient. Not knowing that was a deceptive trick to lure Dean's defence into stupor and effectively, it worked.Nicholas grabbed Dean by the collar, tolled him circularly before finally lunging him against the floor like a motionless mannequin.Dean fell to the ground like a tree, his back filled the ground like a fallen giant and immediately he opened his mouth, what came out was a w
Chapter 100" Where are they?", Sarah yelled."They will, be around here somewhere... we just have to keep looking.", Nicholas said as he stopped driving, bringing in drive to a stop." I don't think it will be the right time to stop driving you know.", Sarah said looking around inside the car. "Would you get in?""Sure... I am coming. He quickly got up and started the engine of the car and drove out of the area he was."And what the hell were you doing back there?""Navigating... seriously...","Yeah ...I just wanted to be sure, even though we aren't closed to the place yet. " , Nicholas steps on the throttle increasing the car Speed as he goes two time faster than before.Meanwhile, Jane tries her very to outrun this guys but it no use yet.Gunshots resounded the area, aimed for the tyre of her car. She looked back seeing the gun still pointed at her.She quickly turned the car and boom! the bullet fired sway.Nicholas heard the shot. And so did Sarah.."Did you....""Yes,of course
