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
CHAPTER 41-sAVING MRS LUGARD MARIAM got the essentials that she needed before joining Tony and the others inside the car. She's a nurse and she knows that when she gets to the lab, she and the doctors there will be the ones to access the patient who will be given the cure.Immediately they got to the lab, the three of them immediately rushed inside the lab and everywhere was busy, the lab scientists were going about their work."Hello Mr Tony, thank God you came this evening, we think that we have finally gotten the cure, although we haven't tested it on any human just yet but we tested it on our lab rats that we've injected with the virus previously and they responded well to the cure. But we needed your permission first before using it on any patient," The chief lab scientist said as he directed Tony and the others towards the section where the lab rat was kept in and like he rightly said, the lab rats were doing very well and moving about inside their cage."Wow, that's impressi
Chapter 142-RECOVERY "The thing is your mother is conscious and her vitals are great , it's just that she doesn't respond to sensations, so we think she has a stroke," Mariam said with her voice shaking a bit.Helen fell on the ground, this was really Karma dealing with her and her mother.How she wished she didn't do all the bad things she did to Tony probably her and I would not have faced this kind of situation."Helen, it has not gotten to that, the cure is still good through a process, at least she has been stabilised, the lab scientist will still work on the cure further, you should be encouraged that she's alive," Tony said with remorse reaching out to Helen. He felt bad that she had to go through this, although he disliked her now but he cannot deny the fact that she has been a great daughter to her mother especially in these trying times."But what if she remains paralyzed for life , won't that be the same as her dying,"Helen said with her face red and swollen because she h
CHAPTER 143-MARIAMS CONVINCING TONY "Speaking about Preston........." Mariam said, dropping her cutlery.She cleared her voice which got Tony and Collins attention, she has something very important she wants to tell them."What about Preston, "Tony asked as he used a servett to clean off the crumbs on his lip. He focused his attention on Mariam, why is she looking like she wants to say something bad."Well, I feel like things are kind of tedious at the moment, and one's safety is not guaranteed, so I wanted to suggest that you,Tony gets security that could protect you from danger,"Mariam said with apprehension. She was anxious about Tony's safety."Why will I need security, I've never needed them before and I do not need them now, I can take good care of myself,"Tony said firmly, he doesn't need any security, Having them by his side will make it look like he was afraid and he wasn't ready to reduce himself like that."But you do, you've been faced with a lot of dangers lately and nob
Chapter 144-THE ATTACK"Sir, we are here now. Is there anything we should know, so we could do our job better because our boss told us that ,you were involved in some kind of danger.......”"You are right, but I want you guys to settle in first, you just got here, later I'll explain the details to you." Tony said to them a little apprehensive.Although they were here to protect him, he was still sceptical about everything. He doesn't know who to trust aside from Mariam and Collins and his grandmother, every other person was a suspect."You will be staying in the east Wing of the house, just go down the hallway and you will see your rooms, I'll call you guys later for us to discuss," Tony said to them as they excused themselves from his presence.He looked at them leaving, he had no choice at this point, since they're the ones in charge of protecting him from now on he had to give them some necessary information about himself although there are somethings he could not trust them with y
CHAPTER 145-THE ARREST “Don't worry Collins, I have a plan, I will deal with Preston, I'll tell him that two can play this game well,"Tony said, his voice laced with determination, there's no room for defeat."How are your men Jack, are you people okay, hope there's no casualty," Tony asked Jack, he wanted to make sure that his men were okay."Yes sir, everyone is fine, we had no casualty,"Jack said with no expression on his face. He's a confident man and he believes in his skills and professionalism."Okay, thank you, you guys can retire for the night,"Tony said as he moved towards the bar to pour himself something to drink.He needed something very strong to burn his throat, although he was trying to form bravado but in the real sense of things, he was actually very scared. He hopes that things go as he has planned.Collins walked up to Tony, although his friend has assured him that everything is under control, he still felt that there are certain things that are still left unsaid.
CHAPTER 146-THE INTERROGATION He went into his room and got changed with one of the officers watching him. After getting ready he made his way downstairs, Collins and Mariam were with him as he moved outside, he asked only Jack and one other person to follow behind them for security reasons. They got into the car and drove to the station.Immediately they got to the station, Tony was led into the interrogation room, Mariam and Collins were not allowed inside. This made them apprehensive. What were they trying to do?After a few minutes, Inspector Gavin went into the interrogation room with one other officer , the room was under strict surveillance as Tony has been termed a criminal."Good evening, Mr Tony, you are a suspect of the murder of your cousin in Mr. Henry Storm, you're entitled to a lawyer if you have one but if you do not, you will be provided with one, do you understand,"inspector Gavin said with his face expressionless. He maintained a cool composure."I totally understa
