Chapter 133- WILLIAMS STORM'S PAINThe security team, Tony, Collins and Mariam tried to assist her up into the ambulance. In this chaos Tony's phone rang, he went to the side to quickly pick it up."Hello, Who's this?" Tony asked with a sense of impatience. That day had been a rollercoaster of diverse events coupled with the bad news about Henry's death. It was actually too much to bear and the thing he needed at that moment wasn't any other bad news."You will be next," Was the response Tony got, still in shock of what to reply and the line went dead."Hello,Hello," Tony yelled into the phone since he wasn't aware the call had ended. His heart was railing in shock as he wondered why the person had said what he said. He couldn't understand why and everything was too fast for him to comprehend. With a loud huff,he ended the call and wanted to help Hannah again to the ambulance when his phone instantly rang again. He groaned in anger and wanted to ignore the call but on second thought h
Chapter 134- THE BACKSTORY "I think the thing you should be concerned about is that Preston Eduardo killed Henry and he's the one who shot you too," Tony immediately dropped the news in anger. Tony wanted to share the news to him in a slow manner,taking his time to share the dreaded news to him but the manner which Williams Storm had described him wasn't what he had been expecting and his countenance and mood was altered,laying him weak and rendering him vulnerable to say the words that he wasn't expecting on saying."What did you say?" Williams Storm instantly asked in fury,he shot his eyes at Tony,ordering him to repeat the words he had just said. Tony didn't want to answer him but he decided against it and voiced the words again."I said Henry had just been killed and Preston Eduardo is responsible. Henry told me before he drew his last breath," Tony repeated in certainty and confidence. His eyes were blazing as well and he needed Williams Storm to understand that this was a mu
Chapter 135-The News"Good day everyone, from the Daily News broadcast service the current News for today, Around about 12: 30 pm on Friday we got information that the business tycoon Henry Storm was shot to death in his car and he died on the spot but the.....," the reporter was still reporting...Mariam was watching a movie in her phone when she got a notification, she swipe the notification bar down and was about deleting it when she caught sight of the name Tony and it happened to be a live News , she quickly opened the link with her heart pounding so hard in her chest, she just had a bad feeling about it.For the past few months now it's been from one bad news to the other, from one murder case to the other, she was just so tired about it and she just wanted their lives to return back to normal.With her hands trembling and beating so fast, she was saying a little prayer as she opened the link , only to be met with the greatest shock of her life."Investigation has been going on
Chapter 136 DELIBERATION "The person behind this manipulation must be very smart and calculative, because we didn't see this coming," Mariam said as she sat on the pool side bench , she didn't know what to say or who to hold responsible for Tony's predicament. she watched as Tony unfold his hands from behind him and folded it in front of himself. He was in deep thought , he knew that he had enemies but isn't this going too far. They need to know as soon as possible, for them to counter the attack. "Funny enough, most people do not like Henry Storm because he has been a pain in everybody's arse. And the Daily News broadcasting service has never really had anything good to say about Henry, they're the ones that usually backslash him, so why the sudden interest and love for Henry,"Mariam said with her face squeezed up, she needed to be sure of her theory. "This is why I am saying that there's a rat, how can people who although their broadcast have been legit so far starts giving a
Chapter 137THE POLICE INTERROGATION “You're little minded people , that's why you have no regard for anyone, is that how you talk to your wife at hope, well you don't need to answer, I already have my answer but if it will interest you to know, Tony is an honourable man and has nothing to hide and fear from, unlike some who have skeleton and cockroach in their cupboard," Mariam said in a daring manner.The police officers looked at her with great contempt on their face. Who does she think she is to address them like that even if they're greedy that doesn't mean she has the right to talk to them in that manner. But she shouldn't worry they will see who laughs last."Excuse me ma'am, we do not have a business or issue with you, the reason we're here is to see Mr Tony Storm, if you will make way ," the officer with the big pot belly Said trying to keep it cool."Mariam has been gone for awhile now, do you think everything is okay," Collins asked Tony with worry clearly written on his
Chapter 138-ALTERCATION"I will not move an inch without an arrest warrant, as that is my right as a citizen and also go do your findings well, it was a gunshot and not a stab wound, i believe the forensic team will be able to discover that through an autopsy. Good day officers,"Tony said and bang the gate closed on their faces."Did he just slam the gate in our faces, he's just so arrogant, I believe he was the one who killed his cousin because of his greed. He wants the storm empire to be his own, alone, bastard," One of the officers said with his face briming like fire ,he was just so angry with Tony's rude behaviour.Who does he think he is to slam the door on a police officer's face. A common civilian like him, the audacity. He felt so humiliated"I agree with you too, he's no doubt the murder,the way he carries himself tells it all, does he think that he's a king, look at the way he was looking at us with contempt on his face. I wished I could wipe the smirk he had on his face b
Chapter 139-THE CALL FROM PRESTON Tony turned after banging the door on the officer's face, he was just so weak from everything happening to him. He needed some peace and quiet in his life and he thought he was getting close to that goal when himself and Henry made peace but little did he know that other plans were already laid out for him. He was just so tired, but he's trying to be brave and a loft.He knew that whosoever is behind this will not rest and he sees him behind bars and he's not going to give that fulfilment. He was going to disappoint them.Tony made his way into his living room and slumped on the couch. He hasn't had any good sleep for the longest, he can't even remember the last time he slept. Everything has just been falling apart."A penny for your thought," Mariam asked Tony walking to the wine cellar. She needed something hot to calm her neck because she could just explode any minute.She got three wine glasses as she brought a bottle of vodka from the wine stand
Chapter 40-HELEN'S VISIT"Tony calm down, it hasn't gotten to you flinging your phone across the room,"Collins said, placing his hands on Tony's shoulder to comfort him. He knew that his friend was going through a lot and needed all the comfort that he could get.Mariam went across the room and picked up the phone, fixed the battery back into the phone and tried to put it on and fortunately the phone came on."I think nothing is broken, the phone is still intact,"Mariam said with concern in her face . The past month has been choking for them all but the major burden has always been on Tony. There's no way she could comfort him."Everything is so fucked up, I'm trying to think and nothing is even coming forth, how depressing," Tony said with great concern showing on his face. He has never been this blank before, he was a genius and always had answers for all his problems , but this time around, he doesn't know what is happening."I know that this is a lot to take in Tony but you got th
