The instant they left,Henry's phone rang and he quickly picked up,displeased at the caller."Who's this?" He uttered in clear irritation dripping from his tone."Henry Storm," The deep voice uttered in pure amusement and that tone infuriated Henry whose anger went away."who the fuck are you?" Henry asked in fury,obviously furious by the audacity of the caller and the nerve to put a call across him."You're such a child in the game,while don't you leave it for the experienced like us," The deep voice said again,his chuckles radiating from the call."And you are?" Henry asked but the call abruptly ended.Henry disengaged the phone from his ears,his eyes gulped open in unbelief at the words he had just heard,he couldn't believe whoever was on the line had the nerve to hang up the phone on him.He quickly tried to dial the number again but it was a dead end as the line wasn't existing and seemed not to be registered. Whoever was on the other end,was careful and his strings were tied as w
Henry was still fuming in his office,upset at the blank trace he was getting and the darkness that threatened to swallow him. He was defenseless to his unknown enemy and the next strike was oblivious to him. He couldn't help thinking what was the mistake he had made and who was solely after him.He knew his father was going to be upset and disappointed at him. His father Williams Storm had made it a point of duty to always remind him how tactful and brutal he needed to be to swoop out his enemies and for one his father hasn't had anything good to say about him. Always throwing blame at him and taking note of every one of his little faults. He was sure this wasn't going to be an exception."Oh my God,why didn't I realize sooner?" Henry asked himself as reality dawned on him and the situation became clear to him. His father was indeed responsible for the recent happenings to him. His father Williams Storm had always threatened to do things better incase Henry fails and this was no exce
There was a heavy palpable tension that hung in the air as everyone wasn't saying a word. The air was stiff and there was a deafening silence that radiated the room.Tony had called for an impromptu meeting and they all ran to his home,worry and concerns filled their hearts. Hannah was fearful and at the same time worried.she was bothered ever since she got the call from Tony,her mind hasn't rested."Thank you all for coming at such short notice. There's an issue," Tony muttered as his eyes locked eyes from one person to another. He was happy they were here and at the same time,the distress and frustration within him was overbearing and he was tired."What's going on Tony? I heard the urgency from your voice and knew things were serious," Mariam uttered in clear concerns. The situation happening with Tony was huge and her mind hadn't been at rest ever since,worrying about what the future held and Grandma Nicole's safety.Tony didn't answer her immediately,he let loose a deep breath be
"Hello," Collins spoke, his voice firm and steady as he waited for the other end. While they were waiting for the hard and deep voice of the strange man, they were met with the soft and frail voice of Grandma Nicole, who sounded like one in a cage."Tony, please come and take me away from here," Grandma Nicole stuttered, her voice sounded weak and like one who was drained and there was no strength within."Grandmother, are you Okay?" Tony asked with urgency and fear dripping from his voice. The situation wasn't looking good, he had always been worried about Grandma Nicole's condition ever since she was kidnapped but the sound from her and how frail her voice sounded didn't help but increase the intensity of fear he was feeling. His heart pounded harder than before, his eyes burning with pure rage."I'm not fine Tony, this place is hell, please take me out of here," Grandma Nicole uttered with fear, her voice shaking and that alone broke Tony's heart into pieces, his hands clenched tog
"Your Uncle Robert?" Collins asked with surprise and shock masked on his face,"Yes Collins,and I think I need to go now,I can't wait any longer," Tony said with seriousness and determination. The energy coursing out from his body was overpowering,his aura quite different than before."Okay Tony,I'll be waiting for you here," Collins uttered with positiveness,his eyes filled with emotions. He had wanted to go with Tony,but he saw the hesitation from Tony and decided against it,allowing him to do things his way."You can go Hannah,I'll let you know of any recent developments," Tony uttered to Mariam with his usual deep voice but it was firm and quite calm."Okay Tony,I'll be on my way and in case I hear anything from my spy concerning your Grandma, I'll notify you immediately," Hannah uttered with sureness and determination dripping from her tone.Tony nodded at her and watched as she left. Mariam didn't say a word since Tony's home was hers also,she sighed deeply before speaking,"Oka
"But what does he want and who can give me information about him?" Tony questioned in urgency. He has had enough about this Klint Morgan of a person and needed to see someone who can explain things better to him. His mind was in a jumbled mess."I think it's time you meet your father Tony," Uncle Robert said with seriousness and visible emotion dripping out from his eyes.Tony felt like a time bomb just exploded before him and the impact resulted in him being speechless and lost of the right words to defend himself. It was like he didn't hear well or Uncle Robert was probably joking with him and in this time of need he was presently in,he didn't tolerate the gesture."Uncle Robert please be serious, you know Grandma Nicole is the only family member I have and her life is paramount to me,I don't appreciate the joke," Tony uttered in seriousness and certainty. This wasn't the time for child's play."And why should I be joking with you Tony, this is serious and from the look of things, t
The heavy banging from the door brought Collins in a fling back to reality. He had been engrossed in his system and didn't notice that Tony was back. There was an expression of shock on his face as he was surprised and fearful because of Tony's countenance."Hey man, what's up?" Collins questioned as he instantly discarded his system and sat upright, his whole attention was laced to Tony's face and body language."You don't look too good, how was it?" Collins asked further, his eyes worrisome and his whole body tensed also. He was bothered that things didn't go as far as planned there was a serious issue and probably things had worsened."I'm so pissed off Collins, my mind isn't at rest and I don't know where to base my anger," Tony responded with anger and sadness. His eyes were burning red and it was pretty obvious that he had cried. Collins was scared and troubled. Tony wasn't one to cry or show off emotions, the Tony he knew was strong and his personality intimidating. For Tony
The question from Mariam left Tony stiff with no response to give, ever since he left Uncle Robert's office that was the only thought on his mind, while on the steering wheel, he couldn't find the answer to that question and even as the question lingered on the air with a thick cloud of tension, he still didn't have the right answer to the question. His heart was stomping hard on his chest and the lump was heavy on his throat as the weight of the question lingered."I haven't thought of that," Tony said with sincerity swimming in his eyes, his uncertainty about the question was palpable."What do you mean? The kidnapper said you should ask your father, there might be a connection," Collins countered with confidence evident in his tone. He couldn't believe Tony wasn't considering speaking to his father. He knew he was hurt but according to fact, all connected dots lead to his father."And that's why I'm pissed off, Collins. A man I never knew or even had any relationship with, all of a
