"You know what, when it gets to the time to see him, all you have to do is to exit my office, move to the top floor. You would see his office when you come out of the elevator.It isn't my intention to leave you alone, but I have an important meeting to attend, please excuse me, and have a great day," he said as he picked up a file and an iPad before walking out of his office."Thank you," Elara muttered as she fell backwards to the chair she was seated on. She wouldn't be going through this stress if her father's sins never got exposed. She wouldn't even have to see Alistair in the first place, but because she was her parents daughter, she has no other choice than to go through this shit.She closed her eyes, and tried to take a nap, hoping she wakes up when she needs to wake up, and doesn't sleep more than she needs to.(Forty minutes later)She woke up yawning, immediately she reached for her phone, it was one hour on the dot. She quickly stood up, and walked to the door of his off
"Talk to me, you don't have to beat around the bush, why are you here?" Alistair asked with his hands on his shoulder."I need you to do something about my father, I am not asking you to restore him to his office. But if there's a way of helping him out, maybe with his shares or something, please do it for us," she replied.Alistair laughed, "Was this the reason why you came here?"She nodded her head staring at him blankly, "Just that?"She nodded her head, "Just that.""You mean to tell me you drove all the way down here, spent one hour of your time waiting, just to ask this from me?"She nodded her head, void of what he was about to say, or why he was asking such a question. Alistair got up, "Go home, I will think about this, when I have made a decision about this, I will let you know."Elara nodded her head, as she got up from also, she reached for her bag, and brought out her phone from her bag, "Thank you so much Alistair, I would be waiting for your reply. Please can I get your
"Imagine if that boy who's being bullied is being asked to give a speech in class. Every single time he has a chance to speak, he makes sure he always speaks about these friends of his.He doesn't speak of what they do to him, instead he praises them for being a good friend, and a great friend. What do you think will happen to those guys in the long run?""They are going to get tired of bullying him, and it's also going to draw attention from other course mates, and the lecturers," Nathan replied."Which would automatically make them stop bullying him, because eyes would definitely be on them. Other kids would want to know what's special about them, and it would in a way, decrease the bully or either stop it," Layla replied.Alistair, who was seated in their midst, clapped his hands, "I have great friends, and they are also intelligent. Now think about this when it comes to The Wilde's family, don't include Mr. Charlie.What do you think is going to happen to them, when I continually
Oliver walked into his office feeling tired, and famished, he had a long and stressful day. He sat down and the door of his office was opened. He smiled when he saw her walk into his office, "Kathy.""My love, my god you look so tired, and stressed out, what's going on?" She asked as she moved towards his table, and she sat down on his table. "Cathy, come on, how many times do I have to tell you not to sit down on my table. The best place to sit down is on my lap."She chuckled, "I am aware of that, but at the same time, I didn't lock the door. You and I both know, this relationship of ours is a joke. If I have to sit on your lap, then the door has to be locked.""Come on what are you saying, even if someone sees us together, the best they can do is to talk, nothing else," he replied as he got up on his feet.She rolled her eyes, "That's because of the position of your father, you know if we are seen together. I will lose my job, but you are still going to be employed right?"This mad
Elara was shocked, "One condition? What condition is that?""You won't misplace it, that's the condition, I am not trying to say you are careless, that's not what I am trying to say. But it's just a call for you to be serious about it, that's it," Oliver replied.Elara nodded her head, with a beautiful smile on her face, "Don't worry, I am not going to misplace it. I know you have up to three to five black cards.""What?" Cathy muttered shocked, loud enough for Elara to say, "You didn't do that right?" Elara asked, looking around."No I didn't, I also heard that, it looks like there's a ghost here listening to our discussion," Oliver replied looking around. Cathy held her mouth, trying to stop her laughter from coming out loud."A ghost? You mean you have a ghost in your office?" Elara asked, getting shocked.He nodded his head, "You know I have been thinking about changing this office, but at the same time, I don't want anyone to go through what I went through. That's many reasons w
Mark decided to go over to the bar to spend some time alone, he just wanted to be alone, far from anyone who knows him. He strolled into the bar, and walked to the far side of the bar.He sat down, nodding his head to the beat of the music that was being played, the bar was bubbling, men and women with different partners. Others came alone or had a drink, some were working in the bar, with their laptop's on the table, and an earpiece connected to their ears.He sat down waiting for one of the waiters to walk towards him, instead of moving to the bartender table to grab a drink. He sat down and exhaled, jamming to the music.He waved to some guys who lived in the same Estate he lived in, even when he tries to get away from everyone, he still finds himself among people he knows. He raised his hands signaling a waiter that wasn't far from him, she nodded her head and walked towards him."Good evening sir, hope you are having a great time, please what would you like to have as you spend
Fiona was seated in her room, trying to meditate, this was one of her daily practices every afternoon. It helps her calm down, and it makes her day less strenuous.According to her, it's definitely one of the ways she develops strength for the activities that come with the afternoon, and night. Mr. Starling opened the door of her room without knocking, and he sat down on the couch.He didn't say a word to her, he didn't want to be the reason why she's not being able to get what she wants to get through meditation. Mr. Starling gaze traveled around her room, as he took inventory of everything, and he left the same way he came, quietly.When he stepped out of her room, he sent a message to one of his boys, I think it's time I get something new for my daughter's room. Here's a list of the things you have to get, and I want them delivered as soon as possible.He sent the list, and returned his phone to his pocket. He looked at her, and was about to walk away when he heard her soft feminin
Mr. Sterling laughed, "I see, you already know a lot about me, well it's fine, it's great that I have a daughter who's not oblivious of who I am, and what I do. That in a way is going to help me a lot in dealing with certain things in the future.You know there are certain people who have no idea about what their parents engage in, and it keeps them away from the realities of life. But I am not here to talk about that, I have more pressing issues than that," he paused looking at Fiona."Come on daughter, what's with that look, you don't have to give me that mean look, you could have just spoken up to say you are damn tired of my rants," he replied as he sat up, and straightened his sleeves."You know I can't do that right? It's not how you trained me, have you forgotten how you trained my brother and I? You trained us like African kids who don't have the right to speak when their parents are speaking.We can only speak when it's our time to do so, and you know what I mean by that righ
Alistair brought the boat cruise to a stop. Just when he decided to take his mind off the chaos happening. Elara was killed, and he found his way to a hotel room.Nathan, Layla, and Reagan were with him. "I think this is the right time to let the authorities in on this," Layla muttered."Yeah, this was the same thought on my mind as we exited the boat. Tomorrow morning I am going to head back home, gather all the evidence, get Mark involved in this, and report this to the authorities.""Exactly, this is the best thing to do if you ask me. We can no longer contain this. It would have been you, but Elara took your spot.Who knows who would be next? It could be me, Layla, or you. That's more reason you need to get Mark to go with you tomorrow morning. It's time to bring an end to this madness of Mr. Wilde, and his partners."(The next day)Mr. Alistair quickly rushed home and got hold of the files. He already informed Mark about his plans and asked him to wait for him at the police stati
Layla was briefed about what she needed to do by Alistair. Unlike the last time, Nathan agreed to this, he was in full support.The plan was for Alistair to call for a meeting, he made it for Mr. Sterling to attend. Making sure Layla won't have any problem retrieving the document.Layla arrived early at Voxx's Technologies. She waited for him to leave for the meeting. Immediately she was sure he had left. She immediately went into his room, Fiona was at the door watching out for her.Just in case her brother or anyone tries to go in. Layla went straight to the shelf and did just like Fiona explained. The shelf moved away revealing a safe.She smiled, and quickly imputed the code which Fiona gave to her. The safe opened, but to her amazement the safe was empty. She was confused, and immediately she brought out her phone and took a photo.She sent it to Alistair and quickly closed the safe. The shelf went back to its position. She came out of Mr. Sterling's office, Fiona was expecting t
Alistair, Nathan, Layla, Burundi, and Mark stepped out of his study room. Mark came to submit some files of illegal acts Mr. Wilde has been engaged in the past.They were all tired after accessing each case one by one. But none of the cases has to do with Voxx's Group or his father's death. The only information they found useful was the fact that he possessed a certain USB key.They all retired to their different rooms, while Mark went home. Alistair couldn't get sleep, so he brought the file to the dining room, sat down, and went through it once more. Hoping he would find something.Mrs. Tricia, who came out to make a phone call to someone, was shocked to see Alistair seated in the dining room. Before she could retrace her step, Alistair sighted her. She composed herself and walked towards him."You aren't asleep, what's going on? You also look worried, are you fine?"Alistair shook his head, "I ain't fine, a lot of things are going on."She sat down, "Do you care to share what's goi
(Three weeks later)Kathy was present in the office of her boss, Mr. Alistair. She had a little bottle which Oliver gave her to spike Alistair's drink. She was a bit scared, but at the same time, she knew she also needed to be careful.She paced to and fro in his office, waiting for a particular time to do what she had in mind to do. Her gaze was on everyone in the room, all she was waiting for was Mr. Alistair to request coffee or tea."Kathy, please get me tea just before the meeting starts." She smiled at him, but it was a dry smile. "Yes boss, I am on it."She walked out of the office and went straight to her office. She already had the tea made, all she had to do was to pour in the liquid that would spike the drink. She got a mug, poured the drink into it, and poured in the liquid.She did the sign of the cross and walked out of her office heading back to Mr. Alistair's office. She tried to compose herself, she knew how observant Mr. Alistair and Nathan were.If she acts in a sha
Ethan walked out of the bathroom, he was shocked to see the three ladies lying down on the bed.He wanted to shout at them, but then he remembered this wasn't his home. It was just a brothel. He picked up his shirt, phone, and car keys, and walked out of the room.He wasn't watching where he was going, and he bumped into a guy. He got annoyed and was about to retaliate only to find out it was Oliver."Oliver.""Ethan," Oliver called out. Ethan's gaze moved to the lady beside him, "Kathy? Wait a minute, can someone tell me what's going on here?""Man calm down, you don't have to get confused. She's my girlfriend, you know the ethics of the common, you can't date your colleagues.Well, it just happened that we fell in love with each other, and we just couldn't throw it under the bridge because of some dumb organization stuff.""Wait a minute Oliver, for how long has this been happening?"Oliver looked at Kathy, "Two tears.""What? You mean you guys have been dating for a good two years,
(Few Hours Later)"You look really tense, and should I say unhappy, what's going on?" Elara asked as she reached for Mr. Alistair's hands.Mr. Alistair smiled, this was one of his tricks to get her into doing whatever he wanted her to do. "Let's just say I am extremely tired, you know what it means to work as the president of Vox's Group right?"She nodded her head, "Yeah I partially have an idea. There are times when I see my Dad in a terrible state just because of work. That's one of the reasons I said to myself I was never going to work.Not like work work, I mean get into the corporate work. I saw the torment it caused to my Dad, that shit pissed me off. That's more reason I decided to follow the career path of my Dad."Mr. Alistair was taking note of the things she said about her Dad. "Do you think your Dad has something special he's hiding? You know maybe a special property in his safe?"Elara smiled, "I don't fucking have an idea about that. How am I supposed to know if he does
Mr. Alistair turned towards him, "What, and what have you found about it?""Well I have found someone who can be of much help to us," he answered as he stepped out of the elevator."Really? How come I didn't know about this, and what if this so-called person is one of Mr. Wild's loyal fans?"They got into his office, and Layla was asleep. "Come on man, don't you trust me anymore? I did my research, and he has definitely nothing to do with Mr. Wilde. Besides, he's an undercover CIA agent. Trust me when I say he can be of much help.""Wait a minute, did you just say ah undercover CIA agent?"Layla woke up due to the pitch of their voice. "Yeah, you heard me correctly. An undercover CIA agent.""If he's an undercover CIA agent, how did you get to him? Don't you think if you can find him, whosoever he was made to watch won't also have a problem in finding out that he's a CIA agent?"He chuckled, "I think I didn't really explain things to you. Well, there's this friend of mine who I used t
(Few Hours Later)Fiona and Mr. Alistair were seated in the restaurant as they were both having steaks and juice. "What is it, you wanted to tell me?"Fiona smiled, "I know this might sound crazy, but I think this is what we need to do."Mr. Alistair was confused, so he sat up. "What do you mean, please explain."She cleared her throat and reached for his hands. "I know this sounds funny, but I want to propose something.""What's that?""I need us to act. I mean I want us to act as boyfriend and girlfriend. I am tired of my father nagging about getting married to you.Truth be told, I don't like you one bit. But I am just doing this because of my Dad, nothing more, nothing less.""Really? Do you want the both of us to act as couples? Do you think that's the way out?""Yes, that's the way out. If you ask me, it's the only way out. There's no way out than this," she replied, raising her voice."This is the reason why you called me right? To propose this piece of shit to me? Come on, are
Elara sat down on her bed smiling as she gazed at her phone. Her mum walked into her room without knocking."What's with that look on your face?" She asked, resting on her door."It's none of your business, Mum. But if you must know, it's just some random chat with a friend," she replied, her gaze not leaving her phone."A male friend, I suppose right?" She asked as she walked towards the bed."Come on Mum, what's with all this question?""I am glad you asked. Dear Elara, you aren't getting any younger, don't you think it's time for you to settle down? It's high time you need to get married," Mrs. Wilde muttered.Elara burst into laughter, "Mum, is this what you wanted to say? Come on, you don't have to worry about it, I am already working on it.""Wait a minute, do you mean you are already in a relationship with someone or what?"She nodded her head, "Yes mum, but don't ask me for any details. I ain't going to tell you anything, but be rest assured that your lovely daughter is in a r
