Tony and Collins were both quiet as they drove home. They were thinking about why Henry was trying so hard to take over the company. Tony was also worried about who the spy might be and how they were connected to him.Tony's phone made a sound, letting him know his mother was calling. "Hello Mother, how are you?" Tony asked as he waited for her response. Tony's mother was frail and her voice was barely audible as she uttered. "Tony you need to come now, I can't breathe," she said, her voice low and coarse.Tony's body instantly stiffened and his heart pounded profusely, his eyes flared up in worry as he tried to comprehend the situation. "Calm down mother, I'm on my way," Tony stated into the phone, his tone gripped in worry and known fear, his mother's condition was now two years and he was scared for her safety.He instantly reserved the car and sped off to his mother's place. "Call the doctor immediately and notify him I'm bringing my mother now and it's very urgent," Tony threw a
Mariam observed Hannah leaving the restroom, a sense of unease filling her. Over time, she had noticed Hannah's suspicious behavior—the secretive phone calls, the cautious demeanor around others. Mariam was convinced that Hannah was involved in something dangerous, and it was clear that whatever it was could have serious consequences.Mariam, lost in thought about how to approach her suspicions, walked back to her office. She noticed Tony returning to the company, his face contorted with anger and his hands clenched into fists. Seeing his distress, Mariam felt a brief moment of comfort, assuming his demeanor was related to his mother's health. Driven by curiosity and concern, she followed Tony and entered his office right after him."Hi, Tony," Mariam said softly, her voice gentle and empathetic. "I couldn't help but notice that you seem troubled and bothered. Is something wrong?" She stepped closer and took a seat across from him, her eyes filled with sympathy and her tone laced with
Seated in the living room,all Mrs Lugard and her daughter Cecilia could think of was the next possible action to save their company. "I think I should pay Henry Storm a visit and see if we could negotiate a possible deal," Mrs Lugard muttered in firmness as she concluded that was her possible solution,her eyes were calculative as she resolved to critical thinking. "Mother that will be the best thing to do,I'm sure Henry Storm will be happy to negotiate with us given the fact that he's not on good terms with Tony and they're rivals," Cecilia responded in determination and tenacity as she was unwilling to yield to defeat. Ever since the news of Tony being the CEO and heir to the Storms inheritance things haven't been looking good for Mrs Lugard and her company was on the edge of bankruptcy. Investors have already pulled out and what was left of the company was crumbs and few staff who were still working on unpaid salaries. Mrs Lugard had thoughts hard about her predicament and her
Mariam's heart pounded profusely because of the new information she had just unveiled,her mood swings from the nerve of Hannah and the consequences of her actions. Her hands tightened on the wheel steering as the anger within her threatened to escalate. As she sped down the road,she concluded to drive down to Tony's place to reveal the true personality of Hannah. She got to the house and raced her legs up the front porch to the living room where she met Collins who was seated on the sofa and engrossed in his system. "Where is Tony?" She asked sharply,her tone filled with persistence as she raced her eyes from Collins to down the hallway hoping to see Tony. "I guess he's still at the company," Collins stated in firmness,his eyes lingered to that of Mariam in confusion as he tried to assess what the problem was and the reason for her urgency. "You looked hastened and upset over something, what's it?" Collins questioned,his eyes brimming with concern,he sat upright and gazed intensely
The heavy tension in the room was palpable as everyone's eyes were glued to Hannah as they awaited her response. Hannah felt a lump in her throat as she was speechless and as well agitated as to the proper reply to give. Though she was determined to deliver the cure to Tony by all means possible, she was also uneasy about what the outcome would be if she failed to get the cure from Henry. Her heart raced with numerous thoughts as she stared at the six pairs of eyes that searched her very soul. "Hannah!," Tony called with urgency immediately he noticed she had yet to answer him. "I....," Hannah stuttered and at that very instant Tony's phone rang, stopping her from answering further. "Hello Doctor," Tony answered with anticipation, his heart racing. "Is my mother alright," He asked further, his heart pounding with uncertainty and unsureness. "You need to come to the hospital now. It's urgent," The doctor answered, his voice steady and firm, resonating from many years of experience
As Tony drove straight to Henry's office, the rage struggling inside of him was as hot as the furnace. All he could think at that moment was to lash his anger at Henry, express his rage, and pound on him. The beating of his heart was as loud as the sound of a ringing bell as he drove at an unimaginable speed, unaware of possible danger.The death of his mother was a big blow to him and he felt so useless for being unable to protect her even when he knew the proprietor of the act. His mother was a good woman who stood firm despite the struggle of the Storm family and just when he had reunited with her, she had to leave him in such a way, that such a death will be engraved in his heart forever. The blood feud between him and Henry is now worse than before and he has already vowed to get his revenge. Henry and his father will pay with their lives for his mother's death.His hands tightened on the steering wheel with an extreme force as he stared at the road with the death sentence gaze,
Hannah's heart pricked when she felt the phone ringing in her hands, thoughts on why Henry could be calling raced through her like adrenaline gushing through her veins. She was scared and at the same time weary of the fix she was presently involved in. Her head pounded ceaselessly and with shaking hands, she hesitated to pick up the phone."Hello dear," She muttered, her voice low and calm as she tried to mute her uneasiness, her eyes locked with Mariam whose eyes were suspiciously glued to hers, shifting nearer to eavesdrop in her conversation. She swallows hard while waiting for Henry to respond."Your next target is Tony, we have to kill him," Henry who couldn't wait for Hannah to pick thundered into the phone, his heart racing from the unexpected attack from Tony, there was no doubt he wasn't expecting Tony to lay physical assault on him and that has fueled his anger. Though he had plans of killing Tony he didn't plan for it to be soon but after the ridicule that Tony had subjecte
Hannah pulled over at the abandoned warehouse, her heart beating incessantly and hands shaking, with a heavy sigh, she turned off the ignition and came down from the car. Her eyes looked for any suspicious person before she hurried into the building. She walked down the hall and stopped at a creaking door. She opened the door and walked in meeting Henry and his men who were already waiting impatiently for her."You're here. Sit down," Henry murmured in his usual hoarse voice. The room was properly organized with expensive chairs and tables, Weapons of all kinds, and a safe that only Henry owned the key. Henry was seen seated on a rotating armchair, with a pair of cigarettes on his lips that were fastly burning, and a bottle of whiskey was placed in his front, coupled with his gun that was lying on the desk. His eyes were red and it was a clear indication that he was furious. Hannah walked and sat at the seat beside him.His men were seen standing by the sides, their heads bowed down
