The next morning, Ethan picked up his phone and dialed the line of Oliver. "What's up bro, what's going on?"Oliver, who was walking out of his room, replied, "I am just leaving my room. What about the guys, is he ready?"Ethan got into his car, "Yeah, he is. What time should he drop by the office, and do you have everything ready?""You don't have to be worried about that. I have everything under control. This is what you should do, don't give him my contact. When he gets to the company, tell him to give you a call. Then send me a text on Whatsapp.""Do you have a problem if he has your contact?" Ethan asked.Oliver walked to his car, and his bodyguards helped him in opening the door of the car. "Yeah, I do. I don't want any random person to have my contact. That's what I am against, I am talking about future occurrences."Ethan chuckled, "Really?""Yeah, it's my principle. It's either you live by it or not, that's it," Oliver replied."No problem, I don't have a problem with that. I
Ethan cared less about what his sister was saying, "That's enough, back to you. I am sure you are aware of the reason why I came here?"Fiona became confused, you could tell she was taken aback by such a question. "No I don't," she walked to her seat."It's clear you don't. Anyway, it's not like what I am about to say is a big deal. I noticed you left the house early.I am damn sure you don't just leave the house this early. There's definitely something going on, talk to me."She narrowed her gaze to him, "What do you mean by that? Do you mean I can't leave home for work early or what?""No, that's not what I mean. But from experiences, I feel something might have happened, which would have prompted you to leave home very early," he replied.She stood up, and walked towards him, "Well nothing happened, I had a great night's rest. Mark and I are cool, there's nothing."Ethan didn't believe that, "Or is he the one?"She turned, "Who are you talking about?""Who else do you think I am ta
(Thirty minutes later)Oliver was seated in Mr. Alistair's car. Beside him was the mechanic who was to do the job just like he agreed with Ethan."I believe you know what to do right?" Oliver asked as he narrowed his gaze towards him, and quickly returned his gaze to the road."Yes sir, I know what to do. Mr. Ethan has explained everything I need to do," he answered with his gaze at the road."That's great, what matters right now is that you understand your job, and you are going to deliver. Talk to me, how do you intend to do this?"He turned his gaze towards Mr. Oliver, "I don't mean to be rude sir. But trust me when I say you are going to get bored of listening to what I have to say."He exhaled, "Thanks for telling beforehand. Anyways you are going to get rewarded handsomely, just make sure you do a good job. If I may ask, you are definitely going to work on it when we are returning right?""Except you want us dead before we return," he replied, looking away."Come on, what would
Elara's joy knew no bounds when her phone beeped, as she saw the money come in. Since her Dad got employed. Her life has taken a new turn.Activities she wasn't able to do before, she could now do it, and it gave her so much joy. She was slowly getting the respect she lost from her female friends. They now invited her to luxurious parties, unlike before where they all forsook her.In all she learned her lesson. A lot of people won't want to have anything to do with you if you are poor. But if you are rich, they would definitely be all over you.She smiled as she walked into the bathroom to take her bath. Her plan was to visit Mr. Alistair at his office, and thank him for what he did. Even if her father didn't return to Voxx's Group, at least he got a job at Voxx's Technologies.What else could she ask for than that? All she wanted was for her father to get a job. Mr. Alistair kept true to his word, and helped her with it. That's the only thing that matters right now, and not if he got
(One Hour Later)Mr. Alistair and Nathan both walked into Mr. Gabe's office. "Gentlemen, please have your seat. I am in a hurry for a meeting, so I won't be wasting time.I will go straight to the point, and I will be out of here. What I am about to hand over to you, is something very important. Your father was the one who handed this over to me.It's very important that you keep it safe, and protect it with all your might. Keep what I am about to give you like you would keep gold or anything precious to you."Mr. Gabe stood up and walked out of his office. They both gazed at each other looking confused, "Your guts was right, but this wasn't what he told me the last time I came here," Nathan muttered."Let's say he wasn't certain about doing this, but along the line, he changed his mind," Mr. Alistair replied.Mr. Gabe returned to the office with a small golden purse in his hands. He walked over to his seat and sat down. He stretched the golden purse to Alistair. "This was what your f
The elevator opened up, and they stepped out. "Well, we are heading towards my late father's office. There's something important we have to do, and I need every one of you to be sharp, and also be on alert.""Yes sir," they replied as they moved late to Mr. Bane's office. They got in, and it was fucking dusty, different spiders had made the office their colony. "Are you seeing the cobwebs, are we really going to do this?" Layla asked."I think you are asking the wrong question, it's not us. Layla, you are the one who's definitely going to do this.""What?!" She turned towards them looking shocked. "What do you mean by that?""I don't think that's a question you need to ask. You aren't just going to swim through the cobwebs," Mr. Alistair brought out the key. "Here, we need to find which safe, or locker this key can open."She looked at the key and returned her gaze to Mr. Alistair. "Are you fucking serious?"Nathan, and Mr. Alistair both nodded their heads. Reagan wasn't cut in for wh
Alistair woke up with a call from Fiona which was strange. "Good morning Alistair, hope you had a great night's rest.I heard what happened last night, hope you are fine?"Mr. Alistair sat up, "Yeah I am, I am sorry we couldn't meet up yesterday.""Come on Mr. Alistair, you and I both know that you can't meet up after what happened last night.""Do you know what? Let's meet today, we could have lunch, or dinner today. What do you have to say about it?"She kept mute for a few seconds pondering on what to say. She would want to spend her evening with her boyfriend, Mark. "Lunch will be fine with me, I have something important to do at night.""That's fine with me, we will meet today during lunch. Please be early.""Yeah, I will, same location right?" Fiona asked."Yes, of course, same location," he replied."That's okay, take care, and have a great day," Fiona hung up. His gaze moved to the file, and flash drive which was on his couch. He directed his gaze back to the chandelier."I am
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
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.

It's high time you need to get married," Mrs. Wilde muttered.Elara burst into laughter, "Mum, is this what you wanted to say?
