“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. He sat still for a while amidst the sounds of gunshots but when he didn't feel any pain, he slowly opened his eyes and watched as the bullets bounced on the car window but were unable to pene
After 3 hours, the car finally came to a halt in a secluded part of the city, where only the; Elites members of the city, powerful businessmen and CEOs own properties or live.Denzel’s family, the Leon family, owned the largest portion of land in the area and a whole estate named after them. “ We are here young master” Amanda said as the automatic white gate slided, revealing the magnificent white mansion. 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? I don't understand”Denzel asked, still baffled at what he just heard. “Same here, I'm confused and I refuse to believe that victor committed suicide” “How did this happen Vivian?”“He got a job that same day you left, the job promised to pay him $100 daily. 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
[Beep] [Invalid card] “Yes! I said it!”“This thing right here is a thief” Anita bellowed, pointing a finger at Denzel. “I don't know why we listened to him, we could have just called the police right away!”one of the men in the room hissed , digging through his pocket to bring out his phone. “Thank God for you, we wouldn't have known that such a criminal was amongst us” Another woman said , flashing a smile to Anita. “Exactly! we need your type of people in our city” Another man added as other people joined in, showering praises on Anita, causing her head to swell in pride. “But It's not too late, we can call the police right away, he needs to face the law for stealing” Another person interjected, changing the topic. “Yes! Exactly!” Sounds of approval echoed in the room. Denzel stood frozen, his heart pounding furiously against his chest as he imagined what was going to happen when the police arrived. He was sure there was money in that card, because there was no reason for h
“Everyone, this is the head doctor, he's here to settle the case” Anita informed, her lips curling into a smirk. “ Yes, I was informed of what happened, and thankfully, I know this man right here!He is a known criminal” The head doctor Sam, said, feeling confident in his lie. 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
Anita's face went pale the moment she saw the man standing at the entrance, her heartbeat picked up as beads of sweat started forming on her forehead. 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. That single act of Mr Collins , had sent waves of shock to everyone in the room, causing their mouths to drop open,their eyes widenin
Meanwhile, back at the Mortan’s mansion,the atmosphere was gloomy with their gazes fixed on the TV screen. Oliva stared in disbelief, her heart brimming with anger “How could they do this to me?! “She yelled, not exactly directing the questions at anyone “There is more to this, you said Leono requested for the video before agreeing to give you the contract. So how come they are cancelling the contract” Mrs Veronica asked, her voice laced with shock "You caused all this Olivia! such a thing was asked from you and you gave it out without informing us first, now you can see what it has cost us! Mr Kendrick yelled, his voice dripping with fury " Oliva your father is right, how could you? Your sister is serving a 20 year jail term and now your brother, had also been sentenced 30 years, all because of your selfishness ”Mrs Veronica lamented “How is it my fault mommy? They choose that path, how am I the one to blame, was I the one who asked Anita not to go to school and instead choose
A few minutes later, Denzel joined his grandfather and uncle in the sitting room. After settling down, Denzel began without delay “Grandpa, how did Montage manage to become the COO of K. D Leon? He wasn't even able to do anything when brickwell stole K. D Leon's design and now, he is sending men after my life”Denzel said, his tone laced with subtle anger "Son…” Grandpa Leon said and paused as if pondering on something “Montage was my loyal assistant for 10 years before I decided to make him the COO, as at that time, he was the best candidate for the position . Although his performance dropped, because he started to feel comfortable, coupled with my illness, I wasn't always there to monitor everything like I used to,but he never came off as someone that could be able to hurt a fly, talk more of killing his future chairman So son, are you one hundred percent sure that it was montage who sent those men?” Grandpa Leon said calmly, adjusting his glasses Denzel opened his mouth to tal
A few hours later, Denzel, Amanda and Ellias were seated in the car as his butler, Mike drove the car. They had dropped Mr.Dave at his busstop and were on their way to drop Ellis before heading back home. “So how did this happen Amanda? Denzel asked, his gaze fixed on the laptop sitting on his laps. “Young master, It was Amanda's fault” Ellias cut in sharply, giving Amanda a side glare “How was I supposed to know that it was a trap”Amanda counted, rolling her eyes at Elias “I warned you… "Ellias I need you to keep shut! Amanda go on ”Denzel said sternly , cutting off Ellais from what he was about to say “Ok young master, ” Amanda let out a deep breath as she began “After we ended the call and I escorted the testifiers and their families to take the secret route to the airport, I returned back to the court to pick up Ellias because he didn't come with his car. And Mr. Dave's car also happened to have developed a fault, so the three of us headed home in my car. H
“What do you mean by, everyone is dead and you are the only one surviving ?!” the man growled, his eyes blazing with fire “S.s… s ...sir the man released the snakes on everyone, but I managed to escape before anyone else noticed” the man on his knees stuttered, his voice laced with fear and trepidation. “What rubbish are you spewing?! How did he get the box from you Amon? Amon was in possession of that box and it was supposed to be released on those people”The furious man barked, his voice dripping with venom “S…s..sir Mr. Amon released the snakes from the box, but the mysterious man controlled the snakes and it went back into the box.”The man said, his gaze fixed to the ground because he wouldn’t dare look his boss in the face while saying something that sounded so ridiculous. “Are you listening to yourself?” Mr Philip snapped, slamming his hands on the coffee table After K. D Leon won the court case, they got information from an insider that the lost grandson of the K. D Leons
Everyone in the room let out a horror filled gasp as they stared at the shattered glass on the floor and back at Denzel. The men trembled in fear as their heart banged furiously against their chest. A few minutes ago, they felt confident and secured hiding at the back of that tempered glass, and in less than a minute, the glass was shattered on the floor, leaving them at the mercy of the mysterious man. At this point, they knew they were done for, and with just a whistle from the man , the black zambars would pour out from that box they were in and attack them. Their bodies shook in fear, and one by one, they all went down on their knees, surrendering to the mysterious man standing tall in front of them. 9 of the men were all on their knees except Mr. Amon who stood dumbfounded, as his body trembled involuntarily,still he refused to surrender. “Please sir, forgive us, we are sorry” “We will never return to our evil ways# “Please have mercy, I don't want to die” “I have a fam
Standing at the entrance was Denzel, his chest heaved up and down as sweat streamed down his muscled body. “Sir please you need to leave , grandpa Leon won't survive if he hears that you are dead” Amanda cried as her heart thumped in fear At this point, Amanda wasn't thinking about herself, the day she swore to be Denzel’s right hand man and assistant, she also swore to lay her life on the line in place of his, if need be. But now, they were both helpless with no one to save the other. “You don't need to bother about me, I will get you guys out of here”Denzel said confidently, his voice firm and laced with assurance Meanwhile, one of the men had rushed out of the room and sneaked up to Denzel’s back “Watch your back young master! ” Amanda yelled, but it was too late as the man had forcefully pushed Denzel into the room and locked the door behind him. A roar of laughter reverberated from the other side of the room covered with a large transparent glass, where the men watched fro
Meanwhile, Denzel drove the car with speed not minding that he was driving past the normal speed. His whole focus was centered on arriving where his assistant, investigator and lawyer were held hostage. Bang! Bang! Bang! All of a sudden, the sound of multiple gun shots echoed in the air as Denzel became at alert instantly. He increased the speed and drove at a higher speed as he sensed some cars chasing his. His whole focus was on giving the cars on his tail a safe distance. Suddenly a car that came out of no where and began a driving towards him. Before he noticed what was happening and could dodge the car approaching him with speed , it was too late. Boom! His car and the other other car collided with force and because of the speed at which he was driving ,the collision was intense that it sent both cars flying high into the air. The car summersaulted multiple times as it finally landed into a ditch. Denzel let out a loud groan as he managed to get hi
In an abandoned warehouse in Willport city, 2 men and a woman were seen seated on a chair with a rope tied round their body, and their eyes covered with blind folds. And In front of them were at least 10 dangerous looking men with a big transparent box In front of them. The room was quiet and the only thing that could be heard was the continuous hisses emitting from the box. The box being there, wouldn't have been much of a problem if only it wasn't containing over 20 Black zambar snakes, the world's most deadly and poisonous snake. “Untie their eyes, so they can get to meet their new friends!” A gruff voice growled, knocking waves of fear into the hearts of the three blindfolded people as they trembled in trepidation “Please I am begging you”Benita finally choked, her heart racing with fear, she studied zoology in college and even if everyone else in the room happened to not know the species of snakes that were in that cage —she already knew, and from their sharp and overly lou
“Having thoroughly reviewed the evidence, I find Nelson Barn guilty of the charges laid against him”“Fucking bitch ! ”Nelson hissed through gritted teeth, his heart thumping against his chest He knew he was doomed, but he still listened attentively to hear his Sentence. “The court hereby sentence you to serve 10 years in jail without possibility of parole. You shall renounce your copyright to the K. D Leons product and apologize to the K. D Leons group publicly, alongside a fine of $800 million.” The judges authoritative voice reverberated across the court She had tried her best to reduce the sentence but this was the least she could do, to avoid raising suspicions. “Fuck!” Nelson's heart stopped beating for a second as he jerked up to his feet “This is ridiculous, why do I have to go to jail?! “He yelled as the court attendants rushed towards him and cuffed his both hands to his front. As he was being dragged out, his gaze and that of Amanda met, his heart boiled in severe ange
