Anthony removed his cufflinks and put them in his pockets. He rolled up my sleeves , as the two muscular men, bigger than him in size , stood in front of him trying to intimate me , but he stood my ground.Size wasn't everything. They might be big and muscular, but do they have skills?“Don't try anything funny." One said as he placed his hand on Anthony's shoulder and without wasting a second, Anthony grabbed his hand with one hand and grabbed his suit with the other hand and he saw a smug look on the bodyguards face, as if Anthony could not lift him because Anthony was smaller, Anthony turned slightly so his back was to him and lifted him, as he let out a girly scream and Anthony flipped the bodyguard and his back landed harshly on the floor.“Hey what are you..." The second bodyguard came rushing to his friend's aid and aimed a punch at Anthony, he bent down slightly and with all the powers he could muster , he punched the bodyguard straight in his stomach that was left unprotecte
Sitting alone in his study and looking at his laptop , Anthony could finally have some time to look at the names of the shareholders who were not on his side and not on anyone's side too.They were just neutral in the company and he needed someone with power on his side.There was a particular shareholder his private investigator told him would be the best man to get on his side.Anthony wanted to speak to a particular shareholder to get on his good side, because he knew the man had a lot of influence in the company. Forming a good relationship with the man will make his business life more smooth.Anthony researched about the man's likes and saw he likes horse racing and there was a particular place he goes to watch the horse race. There was a horse race soon, Anthony knew it was the only place he would see him, so Anthony cleared his schedule for that day and he was happy it was on a Saturday when he didn't need to go to the company. Anthony got dressed in his casual clothes since
John's face twisted in anger. “I thought you came here to ask for a favor, why are you getting on my nerves, don't you know you should be doing everything in your power to appease me , so I will do what you asked?"John asked Anthony in an angry voice, as the corner of his lips twitched in annoyance. John wondered why Iris would end up with a nobody, who he hasn't even heard his name before, he found it insulting.He chased after Iris for years and she refused to date him even for once and would quickly leave from any event whenever she sees him.He wonders what Iris saw in Anthony.It made him so angry, he clenched his fists and grit his teeth.Anthony was unfazed by his reaction and adjusted his weight on his chair.“I came here to make a request , but that does not mean that I will put it over my wife's comfort." Anthony replied and John looked away from Iris and looked at Anthony and they held a staring competition with Anthony emerging as the winner, John sighed and looked at th
Well he guessed that Mina's family doesn't like him ,because he took their father's properties and is now CEO in Frank corporation.“Mr Anthony, did you invite her here?”John asked Anthony. “I haven't even met this woman before, why would I invite her to this meeting, when I know it's private?”Anthony asked with an arched eyebrow. “If it wasn't you, then it must be your wife ,did you tell her about her meeting ?because there is no way Mrs Mina will just show up here just to exchange greetings with me ,because her house is far from here, her workplace is far from here and I've never met her here before eating or doing anything.”John told him.“Mrs Mina,you have exchanged your greetings. I think you should leave, you are causing a nuisance to us.” Anthony told Mina as he saw that John was getting agitated by her words.Mina dramatically made an oh with her mouth and placed her hand on her chest.“Oh sorry, I didn't mean to, I was just exchanging greetings and I am also trying to remin
The next day Anthony was looking out the window as the secretary was telling him of the meetings he had the next day. “Is there anyone that suddenly quit their job or disappeared 5 years ago?” Anthony asked his secretary while they were in the car returning home.The secretary paused.“Sir, I will look into it again , if you find it hard to believe, but last time that you asked me I told you no.” She replied and he sighed.It was hard for him to believe.Anthony returned from work and Iris was already home sitting on the living room couch with some files on the center table in front of her, as she was looking over a paper she was holding.When she heard the door open, she looked up and saw Anthony. She met his eyes for a second and then looked away.“Welcome back." She greeted him in a low voice and turned back to the paper she was holding. Anthony walked towards her , and stretched out his hand holding a gift bag he bought for her.“Here ,I bought you something, open it and check w
Five days later.It was a relaxing Saturday and the best time for Anthony , because after working for five days the weekends was the only time he had to rest and he can carry out investigations without having any disruption. He was still investigating the death of his family and he hasn't found any clue, all he was sure of was that the people that testified against him were bribed ,but he doesn't know who is behind him.Anthony sighed and turned off the shower.Anthony stepped out of the shower and tied a towel around his waist as he walked into his room, when he heard his phone ringing, he walked towards the phone and picked it up and the call ended.He arched an eyebrow and wondered why his wife's bodyguards had called him more than twenty times in just ten minutes. That was strange.Iris went out with her bodyguards and he didn't want to call to check up on her, so she won't conclude he was monitoring her movements, because he honestly doesn't care about what she is doing.He jus
Iris was sitting down in a private dining room in a different restaurant with her friends.There was wine and expensive plates of food on the table, her two friends were having a blast drinking wine and giggling amongst themselves when she silently sat at a corner looking at her phone.Iris had her phone in hand when Anthony's first message came in, she read it and didn't. Anthony's second message came in, and she was considering replying when her friend's voice stopped her.“Is he the one texting?” Her friend asked as she scooted closer to Iris and peered into Iris's phone, to see what Iris was doing.“Yes.” Iris replied and her friend rolled her eyes. Iris felt a bit bad that she tricked her bodyguards and left,but it was the only way to truly spend time with her friends alone.Iris's friend rolled her eyes, “Gosh, this your husband is too much.” She said with a frown on her face.“I know.” Iris mumbled sadly.She put her phone back into her pocket,ignoring his two messages. She s
Anthony has promised himself that when Iris returns back home, he will have a proper conversation about this and if she continues to put herself in harm's way, he will go and meet Mr Frank, her father in prison and tell him he can't handle his daughter's nonchalant attitude to her safety.He had a lot to do, he didn't want to be wasting a weekend he should be using to investigate the death of his family on Iris and her crazy antics ,he was tired of it.Anthony called his secretary and she answered. “Go and buy a new suv car and withdraw 10 million dollars in the boot of the car and the back seats, Iris was kidnapped, they asked for a ransom.” He informed her.“Yes sir, I will get on it immediately.” She replied and the call ended.Three hours later the kidnapper called him again, when he was at home.“Have you prepared the money and bought the car?” The kidnapper asked.“Yes ,everything is done, should I bring it to you?” Anthony inquired curiously. “No, you don't need to bring it t
