"We will have to work together if you want information on Lawton," Logan said.This upsets Barry as he assumes Logan is trying to take advantage of him.Logan could tell Barry was angry as he looked at him, he knew he had to do something to convince him to join hands with him."I want to bring Lawton down too and I need a strong accomplice like you," Logan said."We can work together to destroy him," Logan added.Barry's expression softened as he listened to Logan, everything was starting to make sense to him.He was happy Lawton was their common enemy and the idea of joining hands with the strange man in front of him didn't look so bad.Barry was about to ask Logan how they would go about it when he suddenly remembered he didn't know anything about him."How am I sure I can trust you?" He said."You might stab me in the back?" Barry added."You can trust me," Logan said."I don't have any reason to betray you," he added.Barry was sceptical, as he still didn't trust him."How about w
Logan walks out of Barry's office happily, excited he had finally achieved his goals.He then decided to talk to Amanda as he knew this was going to make Lawton angry.He walked into the reception and asked Clara where Amanda's office was.Clara was angry as she heard Logan talk, wondering why he needed to see her."She's in the cafeteria," she said, continuing her work."Thank you," Logan said, as he walked into the cafeteria.He met Amanda who was still eating and sat beside her as she smiled."You are still here?" Amanda said, looking at him."How did your meeting go with Barry?" She asked."It went really well," Logan said, smiling at her."You should eat something, the food here is really nice," Amanda said."Okay," Logan said, calling out to a waitress.He ordered food as the waitress walked up to him, before starting a conversation with Amanda.Logan had been away after the incident at the warehouse because he needed to keep a low profile.He couldn't risk anyone finding out it
The ride home was silent as Amanda looked out of the car's window as Barry drove her home.Barry stopped the car as they got to Amanda's house."We are here," he said, breaking the silence."Thank you," Amanda said, as she got out of the car."See you tomorrow," Barry said, waving at her before driving off.Amanda walked into her house and was about to bring out the key to the house when the door suddenly opened."Lawton," Amanda said, as the door opened."You are home early," she added, smiling before walking into the house."Yes, I finished early at work today," Lawton said."I wanted to surprise you," Lawton said, as Amanda sat down in the living room."Can you smell anything?" Lawton said, smiling."Smell what?" Amanda said, as she stood up and started to walk towards the dining area."You cooked?" Amanda said as she smiled at the array of dishes arranged on the dining table."What is the occasion?" She asked as she looked at him."There's no occasion," Lawton said, as he carefull
The leader of the other gang opened his box and smiled as he brought out one of the sealed white powder and sniffed it.The content of the box Barry had given the gang was hard drugs.Barry trades hard drugs as a side hustle, he started the business two years ago when he was in desperate need of funding for his business.Barry did not want to ask his family for money and this led him to the illegal business.He used the money he got from the deal to fund his business and although his company had grown so much and he didn't need the money anymore, he still continued as it was now a hobby to him."Nice doing business with you Black," the gang leader said as he walked up to Barry, pleased with the deal.Black was Barry's nickname as he does not review his face or real name whenever he makes deals.Barry had been making deals with the gang leader for months now and they were now pretty carefree with each other.Barry finished counting the bundle of money in the box and passed it over to o
Barry thought about Amanda as he sipped his drink.His mood suddenly changed as he thought of her.He wondered why it was so hard for her to leave Lawton and be with him."She's pushing me to do this," he said to himself."I don't want to hurt Lawton but I do not have a choice," he added, before gulping down his remaining drink.Barry walked into his room and laid down on his bed and soon fell asleep.Morning soon came, and Lawton and Amanda woke up to go to work.Amanda was still worried about Lawton's reaction yesterday and decided to keep a distance from Logan as Lawton's reaction always changes as soon as she mentions him."Good morning," Amanda said as she stood up from the bed."Good morning,' Lawton said, looking at her.He could tell she was upset by something but didn't know what."Are you okay?" Lawton said, as he stood up and walked up to her."I'm fine," Amanda said, looking away from him."You are not," Lawton said, looking at her."Please talk to me," he said."I think w
Unknown to Lawton, the bus that had pulled up in front of him was the gang leader's boss.The driver and the passenger of the bus were all members of the gang leader.Lawton looked around the bus and could tell something wasn't right as all the passengers were men and they all looked weird.Lawton started to feel uncomfortable as all the passengers stared at him.He then decided to get out of the bus."Please stop the car," Lawton said."I want to get down," he added.The driver ignored Lawton and this made Lawton scared.After a few weird exchanges between Lawton and the passengers, the bus suddenly stops at the side of the road and the passengers pounced on Lawton."Why are you all doing this?" Lawton yelled as they continued to punch him.He was defenseless and there was nothing he could do but shout as the men continued to beat him up.Lawton was beaten up so badly, that his eyes started to get blurry."It's okay," the driver of the boss stated firmly, as he looked back at Lawton.
"He's being attended to," the man said."Please take me to him," Amanda said.They then both walked towards a hospital room but were stopped as they were about to enter."Please wait here," a nurse said."You can't enter until the doctor is done attending to him," the nurse continued."You can sit here," she added, pointing towards a chair.The man sat down on the chair while Amanda continued to pace around.The doctor soon walked out of Lawton's room and Amanda immediately rushed towards him."How is my husband?" Amanda said."Is he fine?" She continued."He's fine," the doctor said."He was beaten up badly but he didn't suffer from any internal bleeding," he continued."We just treated his wound, he only needs to rest a bit," the doctor added."Thank you, doctor," Amanda said, sighing in relief."Please come with me, I need to have a word with you in my office," the doctor said."Ok doctor," Amanda said, as she followed him.The doctor and Amanda walked into his office together."Si
Amanda suddenly remembered how she left the office in an hurry and dialed Barry's number."I'm sorry I left in a hurry," Amanda said, as he picked up the call."I had to urgently attend to something," Amanda added."How is he?" Barry said.It was at that moment that Amanda realized Barry was infact the one behind Lawton's attack."How did you know about what happened to Lawton?" Amanda said.Barry lied about hearing it from one of his friends but Amanda could tell he was not speaking the truth."Bye," Amanda said, as she hung up the call.She had had enough of Barry, she couldn't believe he could attack Lawton again after how she slapped him the last.Amanda walked into Lawton's hospital room to see Lawton sitting up.She was happy he was finally able to sit up by himself as she sat beside him on the hospital bed.Amanda brought out the food she had bought for the both of them and fed some to Lawton."Thank you," Lawton said, as he looked at her.He could tell she was sad as Amanda lo
"Amanda," Lawton yelled as he repeatedly tapped her on the cheeks. Smithson who could hear their noises rushed towards where he could hear Lawton's voice to meet him. and Amanda on the floor. "What happened?" Smithson said as he saw an unconscious Amanda. "We should rush her to the hospital," he added. He then assisted Lawton in carrying Amanda and they both picked her up. They carried her into the car and Lawton entered the back seat with her while Smithson sat in the front seat with the driver. "Take us to the nearest hospital," Smithson instructed the driver who drove off immediately. The driver increased the speed a bit as he could tell it was an emergency. Lawton carefully placed Amanda's head on his lap as he felt her pulse frequently. "Please hurry," Lawton who was feeling a mix of emotions said. "I found a hospital," Smithson said as he pointed towards a hospital on the other side of the road. "Drive-in," Smithson ordered. The driver immediately drove into the hospi
Peter gently placed his phone down on the table as he looked at Lawton."The papers?" Lawton asked, looking at the lawyer.The lawyer handed the papers to Lawton who placed them on Peter's table."Sign it," Lawton said gently.He then assured Peter his secret was safe with him as long as he signed the papers.Peter reluctantly picked up a pen and sighed the paper in front of him before handing it back to Lawton.Peter knew he could lose his position and his wife, losing the shares to the pharmaceutical company was a small loss compared to what was going to happen to him if his secret gets leaked.Lawton then brought out the cheque he had already written and carefully handed it to Peter.Peter gasped as he saw the amount of money in the cheque."Nice doing business with you," Lawton said, to Peter before standing up and walking out of his office with the lawyer.Amanda watched Lawton walk out of Peter's office and wondered if he was able to get Peter to sign the document."Did he sign
Lawton exchanged pleasantries with the lawyer and sat down.He then asked the lawyer if there was a way the company could be his own forever and the lawyer told him he had figured out a way."You own more than half the shares of the company," the lawyer said."It's almost impossible for him to take the company away from you but there's one thing we could do that guarantees that," the lawyer added.Lawton asked what it was and the lawyer brought out a document containing the remaining shareholders of the company.Most of them had little shares but there was a particular man who had the highest.The Lawyer then suggested they convince the man to sell his shares to them."If he sells his shares to you, you would not have to worry about anything," the lawyer said.Amanda and Lawton nodded in agreement as they both thought the idea was a good one.Smithson then informed Lawton what Barry was up to and told him they had to hurry."He rescheduled the meeting to tomorrow," Smithson said."Wha
Barry drove into his house and got out of the car.He walked inside and went straight into his room.Barry removed his clothes and took a shower before changing into a black hoodie and a mask.He had a drug deal that night but did not inform his men because he wanted to do it alone.Barry opened his safe and carefully arranged the packs of cocaine into a black bag before walking out of the room.He then got into his car and started to drive towards the venue.Barry reached the venue and saw the buyer who was already waiting for him before walking out the door.Barry looked around and saw that the buyer had no guards around him and saw this as a perfect opportunity to make more money.Barry needed a lot of money for his plan to get the company back to work.Barry moved closer to the man and they exchanged the bags in their hands.The man then started to walk back to his car when Barry suddenly turned on him and hit him with the bottom of his gun, snatching the bag of drugs he had earl
Amanda watched Lawton fight in awe as he couldn't believe he had gotten so good.She then smiled as she remembered his fight with Barry and realised his training must have helped him."You were amazing," she said, as she hugged him.She then walked back into the penthouse house with him and Smisthon as they were done training.Lawton showered as soon as they got inside the penthouse and joined Smithson and Amanda who were talking about Barry.They then all started to talk and time soon went by.It was soon seven pm.Barry was in his office thinking of how to get back at Lawton for how much he humiliated him.He had called his men who knew he was back to come meet him in his office.Barry fumed angrily as he looked at the time wondering why they had not arrived.He then heard a knock on the door and immediately knew they had arrived."Come in," Barry said.Four muscular men walked in and Barry immediately stood up and walked closer to them."Why are you late?" He asked angrily."I have
Amanda isn't surprised by this as she knew Lawton was going to say that after everything she had seen today."Where to?" Amanda asked.Lawton then told her he had just started to think about it and he had no idea.Lawton then asked her if she had any place she would like to live in mind as he had the money and could afford to buy an apartment anywhere."I have not thought of it," Amanda replied.Lawton and Amanda then spent hours deciding on where they could move to but still couldn't find a place.Amanda then suggested they get an agent who could help them find their dream home and Lawton agreed to this.Amanda and Lawton smiled as they were finally going to be free of the clutches of their landlady.Amanda asked Lawton if he was still going to go back to his job but Lawton told her he was not sure he was."We should take these upstairs," Amanda said, pointing at the shopping bags in front of Lawton."Thank you," she said, as they both shared a kiss.She then carried some of the shop
A middle-aged man was on a hospital bed typing on his laptop.It was no one but Chief Williams.He has been lying and pretending to be sick when he had been conscious the whole time.Chief Williams had been in the hospital planning several plots to attack Lawton which all later backfired.Chief Williams had just finished planning another devious attack when he suddenly heard footsteps.He then looked at the time and realised it was time for his lunch.He had lost track of time and he was about to get caught by the nurse.Chief Williams knew he could not let anyone know he was fully recovered or even close to being recovered.He needed to be at the hospital so no one would suspect him.He then quickly closed the laptop and carefully placed it under his pillow before lying down on the bed and closing his eyes.The nurse walked into Chief Williams' room and dropped the tray of food on a table beside him.The nurse then moved closer to him and started to feed him with the food she had bro
Amanda and Lawton changed into their nightwear quietly as Lawton sealed glances at her.Amanda walked out of the room as she finished and Lawton followed her.Amanda walked into the dining room and carried the food Lawton had earlier bought into the kitchen.She then microwaved it and served it on the dining table.She then asked Lawton who was sitting in the living room to come and eat as she knew he was hungry.Lawton stood up and joined her at the dining table and they both ate in silence.Amanda and Lawton soon finished eating and packed the plates into the kitchen together.Amanda washed the dishes in silence with Lawton who assisted her.Amanda walked out of the kitchen as she was done with the dishes and Lawton ran after her."Babe," he said, holding her."I know you are still upset," he continued."Please let's talk about this, I don't like it when you are mad at me," he added.Amanda then nodded her head in agreement and they both walked into the living room together.Amanda
Madame Willams's chef had prepared dessert as planned.She walked into the living room and informed Madame Williams who did not know what to say to her.Everything had turned upside down and Madame Williams knew nobody would want to have dessert."Don't serve dessert," Madame Williams said."Just go!" she added.Barry and his parents were still on their knees and this was not how Madame Williams pictured the meeting was going to go.Madame Williams continued to apologise to Lawton until he had no choice but to forgive them because of Amanda.He knew Amanda hated what was happening and was uncomfortable."It's fine," Lawton said."You can go," he added.Madame Clarissa then asked him if he was going to fire Barry and Lawton assured her he wasn't.Lady Clarissa stood up with her husband and Barry and walked out of the house in shame.Amanda had been quiet as Lawton had asked her not to interfere.Madame Willams who had been feeling guilty walked up to Lawton and Amanda and asked if they
