Mr. Charlie escorted Mr. Starling, and Mr. Wilde to the garage. "Who could have thought this would happen in a way like this?" Me. Charlie asked as they walked out of the elevator."None of us. But since this is how things are. I guess there's absolutely nothing we can do about it," Me. Sterling replied.Mr. Charlie who was in the middle shook his head, "No, you shouldn't say that. If things happen like this, it's definitely for a reason. The best we can do is to try and make the best out of this. That's it, we just can't sit down, and allow this young dude to play with us.""You are correct Mr. Wilde. It's high time we hop on the game he's playing. We have all come too far to be toyed with. It's time we put Alistair in his place," Mr. Charlie muttered as they came to a halt right in front of Mr. Sterling's car.Mr. Sterling placed his hands on their shoulders, "I agree with both of you. But if you ask me what my opinion is. I think it's best we let him do whatever he wants to do.Let
(Four Hours later)Ethan walked into the bar, he already sighted Oliver. He walked straight to the table Oliver was, and sat down. "You came late. Why are you coming by this time?""I had something to take care of. I am sorry for coming late, but what matters right now is that I am here," he replied as he sat down."Yeah, so you asked that we meet tonight. What do you have to say, and please be fast about it. I have errands to run for my dad," Oliver replied as he sipped from his glass."Errand at this time of the night?" He asked, looking shocked."You heard me correctly Ethan. Do you want me to repeat myself again? Go ahead with what you have to say, and let's get done, and even with this meeting," he muttered.Ethan cleared his throat, "I want us to orchestrate a form of accident for Alistair.""Accident? What do you mean by accident, do you want him dead or what?" Oliver looked shocked, and afraid."Calm down bro, what sort of question are you asking? Don't you also want him dead.
Ethan nodded his head, "Yeah I do. I just wanted to know if you had someone in mind. But if you don't, I do. All I have to do is to ring his phone, and he's definitely going to get to work.""Well that's great, because I had no one in mind. But that's by the way, now back to what I was saying. Do you agree with my plan, or do you still want to go with your plan?" Oliver asked as he sipped from his glass of alcohol.Ethan kept quiet, with the looks on his face you could tell he was weighing his options. After a few seconds he spoke up, "I am going with your idea, I feel yours is more realistic, and it won't take much time.""That's great, now what I am going to do is to inform you of the day to call whosoever you believe is capable for the job. The day he comes, leave it to me.All I have to do is to create a distraction, and find a way to grant him access to President Alistair's car. Do you understand?""Yes I do. But the sad part in all of this is the fact that we don't know when thi
(A week later)Ethan was seated on the bed with Elara lying on his chest. They were both in their birthday suits, "I guess you are happy now that your Dad has finally gotten himself a job."She turned her gaze towards him with a smile on her face. "Yeah I am, you have no idea how glad I am. Now I can do things I haven't been able to do. Now I can go for picnics, change the rest of my wardrobe, and the rest.""That's it?" Ethan asked, looking shocked."Yeah, that's it. Do you know how bad the last few months were for me? I couldn't even hang up with my friends, I couldn't do things I would have done. Do you know why?"Ethan was about to speak, but she beat him to it. "It wasn't even because of the crime my father committed. It was because everything my Dad had was taken away from him.I couldn't even continue or keep up with my friends, and their lifestyle. That was how hard it was, and it made me depressed. A day came, and it dawned on me that just sucking at the present dilemma won't
Nathan drew out the chair for Layla to sit down. "Thank you," she replied with a smile on her face as she waited for him to sit down. "This should be our fifteenth date right?"Layla shook her head, "I have no idea. You know you fascinate me so much with how you keep record of the number of dates we have had.""Why won't I? I keep a record of things that are special to me, and since you are special to me. I have no other choice than to keep such dates and records," he reopened as he held her hands."That's great," she blushed while gazing into his eyes. They both stared at each other for a few minutes, before Nathan looked away to order a drink.He snapped his finger, and a waiter dressed in black walked towards their table. He had the same curly hair as Nathan and body structure. The only difference between the waiter, and Nathan was their voice, face, and height."What would you like to have?" He passed the tablet to Nathan. Nathan scrolled up, and down, and passed the tab to Layla.
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
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
