“Olivia please don't tell me you are being serious right now?” Denzel asked, still in shock. Never in a million years did he expect that Olivia would betray him like this.

“Olivia I know this is not you talking, I know your father has threatened you to support evil”

“Shut up!” Olivia yelled, connecting her palm with Denzel’s cheeks forcefully.

Denzel winced as he felt the sting from the slap the woman he trusted landed on his cheeks.

“ Do you think I will choose a miserable thing like you over my family? Sign it before I force you to.” Olivia snarled, eyeing Denzel disdainfully

Shock was an understatement to what Denzel felt. His wife, Olivia —betrayed him like this?

With pain etched in every part of his body, Denzel signed the papers.

The last thing he heard before being dragged out was the sound of loud laughter coming from his supposed in-laws and painfully, the woman he had trusted.

“Olivia you are such a badass” Anita hailed as she handed a handkerchief to Olivia.

“That’s my daughter. Like mother ,Like daughter, I'm so proud of you my angel” The fool thought you were on his side, I'm sure he would rot in jail and his mother won't survive, at least we have done our own part in eradicating poverty and its host”

“Exactly! Poor people don't deserve to be on the face of this earth, we just did the country a favour by eliminating them” Anita chuckled in excitement as the room drowned in laughter once more.

“Damn! sister, you are such an excellent actor. At some point I thought you were siding with him for real.” Tom chuckled as he dragged his blunt in between his fingers.

Olivia glared at him, “if you commit another crime , there is no useless son in law to save you again.”

“Leave my son alone, he has learnt his lessons “ Mrs Veronica murmured as she tickled Olivia.

“I hope so! Prepare a hot water bath for me, I need to wash off that fool's stinking touch off my body” Olivia yawned as she ascended the stairs.

“Be fast about that, my world's best actress is tired and she needs some rest after her day's work” Anita burst into mockery laughter.

“Yes ma” the maids chorused as they rushed to do as assigned.

“Prepare the feast, let's be merry, This is a confirmation that the millions of dollars spent in your acting career didn't go to waste!” That fool would never see the Broadday light ever again.” Mr Kendrick exclaimed, feeling the exhilaration of his victory.

**

“It's just a statement, Denzel, just confess that you did it and all your problems will be over, Or would you want me to get it from you the hard way?” The warden asked a smug played at the corner of his lips.

“ I swear I didn't do it, I have never touched any kind of drug in my entire life, I was framed!” Denzel grunted as he wiggled his hands to ease the cuffs tightly hooked on him,sweat was gripping off his brow and his face was red.He had had one hell of a day.

“Since you have refused to cooperate. I will come back tomorrow. Just so you know, I won't be this calm with you” The officer warned

**

Denzel’s eyes blinked twice; he had slept all night in the interrogation room while still in cuffs.

It was early in the morning but the air was hot and reeked of masculine sweat. It was a medium sized dark room without windows, just a little hole covered with a net at the top of the wall. The walls were stained as if covered in ashes and the tables were shaky and looking old.

Denzel squeezed his eyes shut as the white bulb light came on, he looked up finally after blinking severally to see officer Matt sitting opposite him.

Two other officers stood at the far end of the room.

“Denzel I will ask just this once” Do you do drugs or not? Officer Matt asked, scrutinising Denzel.

“No sir I don't “Denzel replied firmly

Then what about this, officer Matt asked as he turned on a recording, cold spine ran down Denzel’s spine as olivia’s voice came on

“Do you mean to tell me that you would agree to misusing drugs, cocaine for that matter?

“Yes I will”

Denzel froze as his own voice rang in his ears. This was the last conversation he had with Olivia.

    Denzel froze as his own voice rang in his ears. This was the last conversation he had with Olivia doesn't it mean it was recorded and now used as evidence against him? They had planned this all along. She tricked him into confessing to what he knew nothing about. Denzel thought as he felt a pang of pain hit him. “So was that your voice or not? And did you admit your usage of drugs to your wife or not? The officer yelled , as he sprang up, slamming his hands on the shaky table. Denzel’s face turned pale. He knew he had been framed but he didn't know Olivia and her family would go to this extent , the more he thought about it , the more his heart sank deeper. “Please, I didn't do it, all of these are just a set up by Mr Kendrick and his family” Denzel begged as he stared at the man looking for any sign of sympathy but the man offered none.“Take him out,if he doesn't want to say the truth I will force it out of him”, The officer growled as two other officers rushed to Denzel and aggr

    “ Young master, we are sorry we had taken this measure in making sure we rescued you, they turned him around checking for injuries, “Relax, you are in safe hands now, young master” The three of them bowed slightly as two gently lifted him up from the chaos. “ Young master?” Denzel asked,utterly confused Before Denzel could tell what was happening , he was seated at the back seat of an air conditioned range rover.His eyes darted around the car as he gasped taking in the car interior and posh leathers. The one that baffled me most was how this car managed to stay undamaged , like it hadn't hit a van , whereas the other van suffered terrible damage. His gaze landed on the gorgeous lady driving at the front, her white tailored suit hugged her slender body accentuating her well sculpted body even while she was seated. She looked so put together with her blonde hair nearly tied up in a bun. Without doubt she is a rich business woman and she really smells nice too. Denzel thought. As if

    “Yes , I'm aware I also have noticed for a while now, I have been watching the car closely ” Amanda said, disrupting Denzel’s thoughts as she sped up the car attempting to give the other car space.Surprisingly, the other car also sped up, now pursuing their car with full force to double cross them. Amanda sped up to the highest gear, her hands firm around the steering.Denzel’s heart drummed against his chest as he tightly held one of the men. It was as if he was experiencing fast and furious in real life and the speed at which Amanda was driving, Denzel feared that the car would summersault but this time, he had no idea who was going to save him.Bang! Bang! Countless gunshots hit the back glass of the car. Denzel's heart dropped into his stomach as he waited for the bullet to pierce his skin.

Denzel’s mouth dropped open as he took in the sight before him. There was a huge white peacock fountain, the vicinity was surrounded by neatly trimmed and bright flowers as several men in black suits with headphones hung around their heads walked around,while talking. “This is one of the properties of your grandfather” Amanda said to Denzel with a polite smile, while packing at the open garage“Wow” Denzel said with his eyes darting around the luxurious cars lined up in the garage.“Welcome home young master” the servants said in unison,bowing their heads slightly as one of them

    “How Vivian? How did this happen? Victor has no reason to commit suicide?

So he decided to work and raise money for mom’s treatment, but since that day he left for the job, he's yet to be back and I haven't heard from him. I reported to the police after 24 hours, but just this morning, they sent this” she sobbed, stretching the white folded piece of paper to Denzel . Denzel took the paper and opened it, goosebumps enveloped his skin as he read his brother's final words. The paper was stained with tears, and he noticed a tiny word at the end of the paper. It wasn't in the same language as the rest, but he made a mental note to use a translator for it later. Denzel stared at the heart breaking words his brother allegedly wrote as

Denzel eyes widened in shock, because he hadn't seen this man before, why then was he calling him a criminal? At this point he was getting fed up, and his heart was boiling in anger. “ Like I said, he could have harmed someone in the process of taking this card, take a look at him, doesn't he look like a criminal who hadn't had his bath in 3 days?” Sam said mockingly, causing an uproar of laughter in the room. His girlfriend Anita had texted him and explained briefly what had happened, and also asked him to add salt to the injury. So, that was exactly what he was doing. Denzel clenched his teeth, glaring at the slender man who had a devilish smirk plastered on his face. “He might have even killed someone

Tom, the head doctor was shocked to the core at who he was seeing, but he tried to hide it, “ Worst come to worst, I will deny everything” he thought to himself, hoping that would calm his pounding heart. The middle aged 6 foot man stood intimidatingly tall, his hands tucked into the pocket of his black suit trousers. His presence emitted a powerful aura,and beside him was Mr Mike, Denzel’s butler. Together they ambled in, their Italian shiny black shoes tapping against the hard tiled floor. He was already aware of the kind of power his family held, and things like this were bound to happen. Meanwhile, the whole room had gone silent that even if a pin should drop, everyone would be able to hear it.
