"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
It's been five days now and the news of the cure has spread like wildfire all over the country, even spreading across other countries. To those who knew about the Luti-V disease it was a big relief and an answered prayer,while those who just got to know about it,it was a wonderful solution to a big problem.Tony and Dr.Sam had been able to spread the cure to the infected victims without any form of compensation and gratitude had filled the air. The media and blogs weren't left out,it was the news that was spoken about for a five day stretch uninterrupted,the country felt gratitude towards Tony. When Helen and her mother heard about the news,they rushed to Tony's office,their hearts heavy with expectations,they had concluded in their mind that they weren't leaving without a conclusion with Tony."Mrs Lugard and Miss Lugard,what do I owe for this visit?" Tony greeted them immediately as he walked into his office. He was in a meeting when Hannah called that the Lugards were here to see h
"Thank you so much Tony, this means alot to us,thank you," Helen uttered,while still smiling sheepishly but Tony wasn't smiling,his facial expression still unreadable and stoic."I said I will help you but it will come with a price," Tony uttered in his calm voice as he locked eyes with Helen. Helen felt emotions drained instantly from her face,she was blank like a statue."What!""What price?" Helen asked in a sharp voice,her tone raised much to her distress,she knew she didn't have to but she couldn't help herself. It was indeed shocking to her and she didn't think best on how to react."What price are we expected to pay for the cure?" Helen asked again but this time her voice was calm and firm,quite steady and she was grateful."Your company is the stake, fifty percent of the Lugards company," Tony said in his usual businesslike tone,he wasn't smiling or even regarded their various expressions. It was strictly business to him."Tony,I thought you have forgiven us and that you aren'
Collins sauntered into Tony's room in hasten, his feet heavy and his breathing quickened, the fear and urgency in his eyes were quick enough for Tony to notice. Collins brought Tony's phone forward, and the emotions in his eyes ignited something in Tony's heart immediately."What's it?" Tony asked the instant he saw the urgency in Collins's eyes, his own body in alert and energy surging into him, hammering heavily in his heart."Klint Morgan," Collins answered while bringing the phone closer to Tony.Tony quickly picked up the phone, his heart pumping rapidly, his shoulders clenched together in fury."What do you want?" Tony asked immediately he answered, his tone heavy but his voice was steady. As much as he wanted to shout at Klint Morgan, he couldn't ignore the fact that his Grandmother's life was solely in the hands of one man and he needed to shred with caution to avoid regret."Tony Eduardo, I see you haven't made your decision," Kilnt Morgan muttered in pure mockery laced to hi
Tony got to Uncle Robert's office and was surprised by the extreme quietness. The guards were nowhere to be seen and it was quite different from the Uncle Robert he knew who was always with his guards. Ignoring the sickening feeling in his heart, Tony and Collins walked into his office and were shocked to see Uncle Robert lying down in the pool of his blood."Uncle Robert!" Tony screamed out in pain, his eyes streaming with tears as he shook Uncle Robert severally while gracing for a response. Tony felt like death was closer than ever and the next target was unforeseen, he couldn't comprehend how Uncle Robert who he had just spoken to was dead and lying down in the pool of his blood. He felt regretful about how the last encounter with Uncle Robert went and how they didn't resolve things better when they had the time."Uncle Robert please wake up, I'm sorry," Tony said over again, while still shaking Uncle Robert, he was hoping for possibility and probably an action from him. Uncle Ro
