Midtown High,Empire Tai Chi RestaurantJenny's POVThere is happiness. There is growing happiness in my heart. Some days, I used to be scared about who I am and what I was becoming. On other days, I would jubilate in my heart and appreciate who I was turning out to be. Today was one of those other days. It is amazing how you strive to be one thing and the universe describes you as another thing. I was Jezebel, the one who was ignored, embarrassed, tongue lashed and rejected. Now, I was Daniel's girlfriend and it felt so good to call him mine.Taking a sip of the champagne, I slowly cut through the grilled chicken, then lifting a piece with a fork, I munched on it, watching the studious glare of Daniel."You are a difficult book to interpret. Sometimes I feel like I know you, other times you're an alien. It's hard to believe you are here right now and we're together. I'm so happy, really am. Thank you so much," I said, holding his hands."Those are some interesting words and I will t
Midtown High,Empire Tai Chi Restaurant,Daniel's POV,This was my last day at Midtown High. My luggage was driven right now to the airport and by 2 pm I would be on the plane. I couldn't wait to meet Laura. It's been months and conversing with her last week reawakened the desires, loneliness and yearnings.It was another new kind of drive that pushed me through the hefty week, closing contracts and trying to keep in many meetings, since I will be shifting the headquarters to East Alley."...I have always wanted to operate from East Alley but Rick and Veronica didn't want me to. They said, the business space over there was choking and didn't think we would be able to work through it all. It was funny, you know, I had businesses running over there and the return on investments was remarkable. So, why didn't they want me to shift fully there? Daniel, we later found out, they were using East Alley for illegal businesses with those unethical general managers I placed there. I couldn't bel
"The company's cars belong to Laura now. Both of you should get that!" I thundered, staring coldly at Laura's parents.They returned a few days ago and it's been fun watching them rave and throw tantrums. They couldn't believe the company wasn't theirs anymore. And Laura? I knew she was enjoying it all but was scared to rub it on her parents' faces. "How could you, Daniel?" How could you do this to us?" Mr Stephen asked."You should stop asking those questions and stop all this. I'm not going to provide answers for them anymore, you got the documents to read through!"" We're your in-laws, Daniel and you had the f**'king guts to buy everything that makes us who we are! And you, Laura!, you let your husband do this to us? Your family? How could you allow such to happen?"Laura shifted, leaning against me, like I was some form of protection, "Mom, Dad, I want to hate you right now for everything but I will forgive you guys. And about the company, I got nothing to say. I'm sorry.""Wow,
East Alley Freedom Prison,South West Region,Daniel's POV"Hope the wardens have been good to you?" I grinned, staring at Mr Stephen's shrivelled face. He looked broken and lost like some fallen angel.He grunted, staring hard, "Why did you call me out here?""Take it easy, Papa. I got a deal for you and your sweetheart, that's if you are in""I don't do deals with the Devil! Is there anything else you wanna speak to me about?"" Alright, Mr Stephen, I guess you're enjoying here, then. At least I forget, they will be shifting your wife to Zone D of the Women's States Prison. She's been causing a lot of fights in her ward.""But Zone D is the fiercest women's zone in East Alley. She won't survive Daniel! Can't you do something?""I can't. Remember, you don't do deals with the Devil," I winked, getting up, "I will be going now, enjoy yourself and if anything happens to your wife, the wardens would let you know""Wait, Daniel," he swallowed, "The deal…I'm inter""That's a nice move, Mr
"Little wonder, you didn't want to leave hère. Next vacation, we're going to England. You need some change of environment!""But, Daniel...What are we going to do in England? It doesn't sound like calling, you know!" she protested."I don't care. If we go somewhere cozy, you will get addicted to something," I laughed, ignoring her fake red face, "C'mon, I'm just joking with you. We will visit Mexico next time, okay? You've always loved there and I'm sure Damian would wanna feel the Mexican air"She giggled, sniffing a bit, "You're just a clown, Daniel! A big clown! Are we almost at the airport?""I'm your husband, a handsome one, I replied, driving into the parking lot. A chauffeur from one of the Fortune companies was going to pick it up. Mrs Potts, this is all possible through you."Yeah, we are. Let's get in, the plane will be leaving in thirty minutes"We quickly rushed through the door, checked in the security and then ushered into the plane. The first-class suite was quite full,
West Alley,New York CityThe Oscar's Mansion,Laura's POV,"Good morning ma'am," the chauffeur said, trembling a bit.I stared hard at him. Everything in me wanted to hate him and hurt him so badly. He was the reason why my husband was gone. Didn't even know if he was alive and the Sheriff wasn't even dropping positive updates anymore."You should be in prison, you know? You dared betray my husband? Someone who helped you through hard times? You're just one of the lucky ones, if not I could have killed you by now," I hissed, ignoring his trembling lips, "What do you want?""I'm sorry for everything I did to your family, ma'am and for what I'm about to tell you… They shot Mr Daniel twice, I tried tracing his body but I couldn't get anything ”"Whaaaaaaaat!" I yelled, getting up, "Don't you dare tell me that, I saw them take him, not shoot him! I won't believe you! I can't believe you! ""You didn't but I saw it through the mirror, ma'am. They used a silencer, so that's why you didn't
Six Years Later.West Alley,The Oscar's MansionLaura's POV"Mama, Mama, look at what I did," Damian said, raising a paper filled with trees and houses."Wow, this is beautiful," I replied, patting his hair, "Ready to eat some strawberry pancakes?" "That's yummy, mama, can I get cookies too?"I laughed, still patting his hair, "Yes, Damian, you will get cookies and some warm milk, okay?""Thank you, he replied, getting down from his chair, then hugging me, "I love you so much, mama""Love you, too," I watched his tiny feet run off to the playground outside. He was going to do something naughty and probably mess up the garden again. I should go after him but we'll, the housekeepers and his nanny would do that.I strolled to the kitchen, washing plates, rearranging, arranging and trying to hold tears from dripping. Daniel, I wish you were here. This isn't what you promised me. Six years have gone and no traces! The Sheriff had closed the case and said they couldn't go on due to poor
Midtown High,Phase 7,The Grayson's Mansion,May's POV, "I'm glad you're home. Fidara and I were almost getting bored with everything here," I said, studying his features, "and your sister, Goldilocks, I don't know..she was just so cold to us, did anything happen to you guys six years ago?"He grunted, avoiding my gaze, "I'm glad you agreed to come here instead of your family's place. About my sis, nothing happened. We just lost contact or rather she stopped picking up my calls, then Dad later informed me, she considered me dead to her...I wasn't surprised, it was expected.""Wow... Your sister ruled you out of her life, that's strange. Are you sure you never did anything to her?""I'm not sure…a lot happened before we left and you know, we were never on good terms before.""You should talk with her… I think something died in her after we left. I'm so scared to converse with her these days, please talk with her.”He laughed, "Stop it, May, she ain't some serial killer or monster, yo
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
