Tony quickly got water for her to drink."What secret are you talking about!""It's between my husband's family and your mother's."Mrs Lugard looked at Tony's face, trying to read his facial expression but Tony kept his face expressionless. He wanted to hear what Mrs Lugard had to say."Hmm, before now my family had no wealth, we were struggling to build our business which wasn't going very well, so my husband then was asked to be friends with you mother , win her heart and convince her to invest in the Williams business." Mrs Lugard continued."Your mom was young, she fell for the Williams trap very easily and we were able to rise into high society but because the Eduardo's were a very wealthy they didn't realise what was done to them very quickly,"Mrs Lugard said, her voice bare

At that point, Tony turned to the TV and found Collins's pictures being displayed as the dead victim.”Tony was so heartbroken. How could they do this to Collins? He was in a state of despair, and he was so angry. His face was still focused on the TV; the graphics of Collins were displayed on the screen, and the pictures were a big blow to him.The pictures were a disaster; the media people took their time to take the images, and photographs showed his hands and fingernails that were pulled off, this was so inhumane."How could they do this to a human being? His fingers were pulled off for both his legs and hands before finally cutting off his left hand. The victim must have been in excruciating pain and must have felt helpless that there was no one to save him," the newscaster said. Her ex

Probably he should have offered him money since and he would have given him what he wanted instead of wasting his time.Collins struggled to sit up on the ground, Peter and his boys assisted him into a sitting position, his life was dried and he badly needed to quench his taste ."Water, water ,"Collins whispered, looking at his capturers, one of the boys gave him water to drink and he felt a little hydrated.

" Where is your friend Tony, I don't like repeating myself Collins and you've been making me do that repeatedly and I don't like it," Mr Richard said in irritation. "What is so difficult with giving away the location of your friend, it's not like he is family, so why the fuck are you providing difficult," Mr Richard thundered in anger and slam his hand on the table."What do you want me to say? You want me to lie to you, I don't know where he his, good and fin

Where is your friend Tony!" Mr Richard asked as he folded his leg together patiently waiting for Collins' answer.Collins knew that the sole reason why he was kidnapped was because they couldn't locate Tony. Tony knew they were going to come for him so he asked to leave and he did without knowing what his friend was planning to do."Tony, why am I being questioned about Tony. I am neither his mother nor his family relative. So why me,"Collins asked, his voice shaking. His demeanour was filled with fear and he was visibly shaking."Is that even a question for you to ask, from my informant, you're Tony's best friend and his closest ally. He doesn't do anything without informing you about it. He also doesn't have any close relatives linked to him. So now I will ask again where Tony is,"Mr Ric
