Mr. Nathan walked into Mr. Garbe's office. "Ahhh, Nathan. It's good to see you. If I am right it's been months we have seen right?"Nathan nodded his head as he walked towards Mr. Gabe who was also walking towards him with his arm wide open. They both hugged, "You are welcome.""Thank you so much, sir," Nathan replied as they both disengaged from the hug. "It's been on my mind to visit you since the last time I came here with Alistair.You know how this works, a lot of things have happened. You know what I mean right?"Mr. Gabe replied as he walked back to his seat. "Have your seat Nathan, and I am sorry for keeping you waiting. I just got an emergency call from one of my clients.That's more reason I had to rush over to the scene. It's been one issue or another, but it's what I signed up for."He paused and then continued. "What's going on, what brought you here?"Nathan exhaled after that question was being asked. "I am here about the issue of Alistair. I don't know, but I feel ther
(Three hours later)Nathan walked out of the elevator with his hands in his pocket. He walked straight to Mr. Alistair's office, he was about to knock when the door of the office was opened.Layla jumped on him and hugged him. He quickly put her away from his body. He had a serious gaze on her, "What's wrong with you? Can't you see that we are at the office? Don't you remember what Alistair said?"Layla shook her head, she was confused by his reaction. "What did Alistair say?""Come on, you don't forget things like this. Well, he asked that we keep our dating outside the fall walls of the office," he replied with a cold look and a cold stare. His hands were deep in his pocket, his chest out.She nodded her head, "Oh I remember now, I do.""How come you are just returning? You didn't even for once think of calling me or even texting me. You didn't even care to check up on me," she muttered with her gaze on the floor."I am sorry, even if I want to pet you I can't. You know why, but I a
Fiona and Ethan decided to see their Dad in his office. They both walked to his office holding hands with a cute smile on their lips."How many times do they have to greet us?" Ethan complained. "Come on, you don't have to think about that. Courtesy demands that they do that, don't you get it?" Fiona replied as they both walked past Leslie who stepped out of Mr. Starling's office a few seconds ago.She didn't say a word to them, which was weird. They looked at themselves and turned back to look at her. "That's weird of Leslie, there's no way she walks past us without saying a word," Fiona muttered."Yeah you are right, that doesn't even happen. Maybe Dad is at it again, you know how Dad behaves right?" Ethan muttered as they pushed the door of Mr. Sterling's office open. Mr. Sterling raised his head and smiled when he saw his two kids walk in."Son, and daughter at my office. What do I owe to this unexpected meeting?" He asked as he stood up from his seat."Nothing important, we just
"Fine, I will go and prepare. Whatever this is, I fucking hate it, and I ain't happy about it." Fiona scoffed and walked away to her office. Ethan exhaled, before walking into his office."(Thirty minutes later)They were all seated in the conference room waiting for the special guest. Fiona leaned towards her brother due to the fact they were seated side by side. "Do you know who this so-called special guest is?"Ethan shook his head, "No I don't. I am as curious as you.""You didn't have to use the same words to answer me, you know, right?" She asked, and he nodded his head."I am sorry gentlemen. It's not the intention of our guests to waste your time or keep you waiting. He will be here soon," Mr. Sterling stood up to apologize.The quiet conference room became noisy. A few seconds after he sat down, Mr. Alistair walked in with his hands in his pocket, and a smirk on his face. Immediately the room became dead silent.He didn't say a word, he walked towards his seat which was besid
Reagan, who was outside, noticed that things were getting a bit heated. He could tell from the way they were both staring at each other and the looks on their faces. "Yeah, you heard me right, who am I to you?" Nathan asked again.Reagan moved closer to hear what they were saying, but he couldn't because all the glass was locked. "Come on Nathan, don't tell me you don't know who you are to me?"Nathan laughed, "I know who I am, but I want to hear it from your lips. Tell me, who am I to you?" He asked again."Do I really need to give you an answer, when you already have an answer?" She asked as she was looking straight forward."Do you? Does a student need to give his or her teacher the answer to a question, knowing fully well that the teacher knows the answer?" Nathan asked."Come on Nathan, it doesn't have to get to this. You already know the answer, why should I give you an answer?" She asked.Nathan was already fed up with her response, and body language. He didn't say a word, he m
"Why are you delaying in saying what you have to say, Mr. Sterling? Please go ahead, I am sure you have important things to do after this meeting," Mr. Alistair said, folding his hands.From the way he spoke, you could tell he was tired of Mr. Sterling's speech, "I am sorry if I am wasting your time. The beautiful, and intelligent lady I speak about is nobody but my daughter here, Fiona," Mr. Sterling muttered, smiling, as he tilted his gaze towards his daughter.Mr. Alistair tilted his head towards Fiona. Fiona felt angry, and disgusted at her father, but she couldn't do anything because she had promised him a few hours ago in his office. "She smiled at Alistair."She's not bad, she's also part of the board of this organization, that's great. Well, you can get my number from your dad, maybe we will sit out for dinner or lunch.""That won't be a problem. When you are ready you can contact my dad, if I am free it's a date, but if I am not. We will have to postpone it, what do you thin
Ethan's gaze moved to his table, "I guess I have to start going. I have a lot of work to do.""Go ahead," Ethan replied, as he walked to his table. He got hold of his phone, it was Elara calling. His lips curved into a smile when her name popped up.Immediately he answered, "Good afternoon my baby.""Good afternoon my love," she replied, smiling in her room."How are you, and how's your day going?" Elara asked."My day is going great. What about you, how are you doing, and how's your day going?" He asked as he sat down."Yeah, I am having a good day. I was missing you, and I decided to hear your voice," she replied blushing."Awwwwn, that's lovely. How about we head out to one of the expensive restaurants tonight for dinner?" He asked, whirling around his chair.She delayed before answering, "To be sincere with you, I don't think if that will be possible Ethan. My parents are complaining about me not eating dinner with them. You know my parents right?"Ethan huffed, "Yeah I understand
(The Next Day)Elara woke up very early, she decided to act on the advice of Oliver. After thinking over it for some time, weighing the pros, and the cons. She found out it would be better if she spoke to her ex-husband herself.Besides she has nothing to lose, all she has to do is beg for his forgiveness. Beg on behalf of her parents, and look for a way to get into his head. Maybe seduce him, or do something to make him happy.At that point, she brings up the idea of her father getting his job back. Hopefully, in that state of his, there's every tendency he's going to answer her request without even thinking. This was Elara's plan.She got away from her bed and dashed straight towards her bathroom. She did her morning routine, starting with mouthwash wash, and skin care, before finally having her bath. When she was done bathing, Elara stepped out of her bathroom with a towel tied around her chest, which didn't extend to her knee. She walked towards her wardrobe with an ugly, and sat
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
