It was a windy evening when Hannah sauntered to Henry's door with determination and desperation in her heart. The thought of being caught and dealt with swirled in her mind but the persistence to support Tony weighed off her anxiety.With her heart firmly standing in resolve and her eyes focused on the goal at hand, she clicked on the door password and opened the door but was shocked to see the enraged facial expression of Henry whose eyes were locked on the intruder."What are you doing here?" Henry thundered at her, his voice sharp and loud and engraved with irritation. Hanna took in a deep breath and sighed heavily before lining her lips with her brightest smile ever, her dentition perfect and radiating her beauty."I didn't know I had to call you before coming home," Hannah responded with a warm smile, one with no form of deception, and spoke of surprise.Henry had only smiled before voicing out his words again."I know this is your home too but with what 's happening, I think we
Henry's eyes flew open coupled with a banging headache and tiredness from days of work when his eyes darted to where Hannah was supposed to be sleeping but the rumpled sheets and empty bed gave no sign of any other person apart from him.Henry instantly was on alert, his mind in a jumbled mess,and unknown uneasiness crept into him. Hannah couldn't have left his house without a word to him and that hasn't happened before.He couldn't deny how suspicious she had been behaving lately and how uninterested she had been with his plans, always jumping in to intercede for Tony and his counterparts. He had always given excuses for her but with his plan moving towards his end game plan, he can't trust anyone apart from himself."The secret room," Henry muttered to himself, reality creeping in and realization glowing in his eyes. He quickly ran down the hallway and dashed to his office with an unusual speed, his heart banging in fear.He quickly pressed his password and opened the room to meet t
Immediately the call ended, Tony screamed out, unable to control his emotions and eyes blazing, he stared ahead to no particular order."How dare you Henry, you'll surely pay for this," Tony shouted out, his hands gritted in a fist and heart stomping against his chest. He placed his both hands on his desk, his eyes curved in menace as he stared at the table, his whole emotions visibly from his reaction."You need to calm down Tony, take it easy," Collins jumped in immediately, his tone soothing as he aimed to calm the rush of emotions gushing all at once from Tony. His heart was bothered for his friend and he feared what Henry might make Tony result in doing.The past few weeks had been a spur of unpleasant events and Collins feared that Tony had been pushed far beyond the wall and no one knew what he was thinking and might even do."Don't Collins," Tony countered instantly, cutting Collins off, his facial expression in a snarl. He looked fearful and his eyes shone with the anger in h
It's been weeks now and every effort has been made to make the cure available and ready for consumption as soon as possible.Tony, Collins, Hannah, and even Mariam have been working tirelessly to produce the cure from the material that was stolen from Henry.The lab scientists and his team have worked day and night until they were able to produce a cure, although it has not been tested yet to ascertain its potency. Tony walked into the lab with Collins, and his footsteps quickened. Hannah and Mariam had already arrived earlier to inspect things."Hello Dr Sam, how's the process going, any result yet?" Tony asked the doctor, his tone hastened, reflecting the urgency of the situation. He needed results immediately because Grandma Nicole's life was at stake."We've been able to come up with something, but we're not yet certain if it works or not," Dr. Sam replied with sureness, his eyes still glued to the materials."Why is it not certain yet, what else do you need," Tony asked with his
"How's that even possible?" Collins asked in frustration, his eyes gulped open in shock and bewilderment.The heavy tension in the room was palpable as their hearts beat heavily against their chest amazed by the words from Hannah. Tony on the other hand was dumbfounded and thunderstruck, he couldn't believe Hannah was infected with the virus and there was no sign, it was such a big shock to him and he didn't know how to act or even the right words to say to express the emotions evaporating within him."What happened Hannah? How come I'm just hearing about this," Tony questioned in surprise, his eyes filled with unbelief.Hannah's heart pricked when she saw the surprise in Tony's eyes. She saw the emotions that flickered in his eyes showing he cared at that moment, the pain buried deep within her heart came rushing out as endless tears battling for freedom."I took the virus from Henry's secret room and injected it into my system immediately," Hannah said in seriousness, her voice fi
The Lugards family were all seated in the dining room with a mask of sadness radiating from their faces. Things haven't been going well for them and the frustration from their present situation weighed heavily on them.Cecilia on the other hand felt like the whole world had abandoned her and she was sunk in the abyss, she just had a miscarriage and the reaction from Maxwell was more than she could bear.The deafening silence that hung in the air was palpable, none saying a word to each other and the only noise heard was the sound from the cutlery and their teeth grinding their meal.A few minutes later during the silent meal, Mrs. Lugard choked on her food quickly picked up the glass of water on the table, and gulped heavily."Mother, are you Okay?" Helen asked as she locked eyes with her while accessing her features."I'm fine, I think the food went in the wrong pipe," Mrs.Lugard answered and continued her meal when she started coughing heavily, her hands going to her throat."Mother
After a series of tests and treatments with the doctor trying all he could to restore Mrs.Lugard back and after she regained consciousness, it was finally time to go home."Miss Lugard, I'm afraid without the cure, there's a high probability that your mother might collapse again and the consequences would be deadly," The head doctor reminded Helen while they were getting set to be discharged."Thank you doctor, but is there no drug or injection that she can be taking that could sustain her or better still avoid the attack," Helen asked with curiosity and clear hope. She was scared of what the future might hold and the uncertain possibilities."I'm sorry Miss Lugard, there's no treatment that can help your mother. I'll suggest you search for the cure as soon as possible. I'm so sorry," The head doctor responded and left them thereafter.Helen couldn't respond or even voice out any words, she was stuck to her spot with no words to say or act. Searching for the cure or even knowing what
Helen walked to Tony's company with fear clutched to her heart, she was breaking the warning Tony gave to her but the desperation to save her family weighed out all the uneasiness, and a newfound hope railed within her.She hurried to the gate and thankfully the security men were there, she quickly took to her heels and rushed to Tony's office, her feet stomping heavily on the tiled floor, while she scanned the hallway for any possible threat. Finally standing at Tony's door, Helen felt overwhelmed, her thoughts swirling as to whether she should go in or not, and after sighing for a while she gently opened the door and walked in."Good day Tony," Helen muttered with a steady and firm voice, her eyes radiating with emotions that were different from what she was feeling. She knew she needed to be strong to mask the fear that struggled within her."What are you doing here Helen?" Tony said with anger, his fury visible as he locked eyes with her."Please Tony," Helen started with a shake
