The place went silent after the trigger was clicked. Some of the Robert family hid under the dining table but blood was splashed on the table."Argh!" The Roberts chairman groaned in pain, holding his right hand which was bleeding profusely with his left hand.Anita fell on the ground, thinking she was already on her way to the afterlife, jerking, opening her eyes that were already closed when she thought the gunshot was for her."No! It can't be! Am I still alive?" She questioned herself, noticing her body was still intact."Chairman! Chairman!! Chairman!!!" Robert's family members kept calling their father whose hand was bleeding. Anita realized that the chairman had just been shot.She instantly removed her heels, holding tightly on her purse, and ran out of the building. She started the car engine and began to drive. She was driving in a zigzag way, which nearly caused an accident. Her mind had gone numb and she was trembling while breathing heavily at the same time.She couldn't
Both Anna and Albert were still thinking of the next option, yet to conclude."I think we should call the family members to seek their opinion. We brought the chairman here, doesn't it mean we should be the architect of the decision" Anna suggested."Yes, you are right. Let's call Aunt and let him involve the other family members" Albert supported, motioning to her to go ahead.Anna dialed one of their aunt's numbers but she didn't pick up."I think we should go home tonight to rethink the decision. I'll send mail to schedule a meeting tomorrow morning to them all" Albert suggested."Do you think they will be available tomorrow? It's Saturday and I'm sure most of them would have booked a section at the spa, cinema, or some other place to have fun" Anna retorted, then took a drop of breath." I think I know what to do. I'll threaten them by informing them about taking a video of the meeting. Anybody absent will give the chairman his or her reason when he wakes up"Albert uttered."Yes!
Albert took a deep breath before he voiced out. "It's the chairman. I heard he woke up and started creating chaos in the hospital, biting the medical practitioners on duty. The doctor requested our presence so that the required tests will be carried out as he already suggested transferring him to a psychiatric hospital after the surgery" He responded."Did you mean he is going crazy?" Aunt asked."He didn't say so, but he needed our consent before carrying out the test" Anna scoffed, not hiding her hatred for that Aunt."You guys should go ahead, I'll join you later. I need to branch somewhere" Aunt carried her bag and didn't wait for anybody to talk before vacating the house.★★★★★★★★Darren was in his hotel room, sorting out some business deals with Easton when his phone beeped. He enjoyed working from his hotel room rather than going to his office. His company had many branches under him, which made him prefer working from his room.He checked his phone and it was a message from hi
Darren couldn't close his eyes till dawn. It was the first time of seen himself in a situation like that. He was helpless and hopeless.The thought of his wife waiting for him at the restaurant crossed his mind. Anita would be disappointed and mad at him.The thought of Easton calling him and not picking him up also made him worried. Easton would never try to track him and if he did, it would still be in void."Welcome to the den of death, Darren Walter. No living soul has ever entered and left here alive and yours would not be the first one" came the voice of the queen mother, which echoed through the wall.The woman walked majestically to where he was tied and removed the sellotape."Worry not, I'll feed your stomach and your eyes before deciding on the best punishment tomorrow" She grinned and wanted to leave when Darren's voice stopped her."What have I done to deserve this? I don't know if I've crossed paths with you and for no reason do I deserve this punishment. My wife is wait
Both leaders greeted, smirking at each other. It was obvious that there was an untold story regarding their meeting."I wasn't expecting to see you here so soon. Had I known, I would have killed your son and sent his corpse to you" Morgan uttered."My son isn't someone to be killed like a rat. You have been threatening his peace for the past few weeks now, which shows you are a weakling. You should have come to me directly so that we can settle the score" Jason replied while Morgan let out a devilish laugh."I'm not a weakling Jason but killing him without seeing him groaning in pain wouldn't be fun. Whereas, I chose to retaliate against him because he was the reason you ignored me!" She fired at him."Will you stop that nonsense? I didn't ignore you, Morgan. I had to protect my home!" Jason defended."Defend your home? Defend your home while my daughter and I were in pain, yelling for your name every night while sleeping in an uncompleted building! I even ran to you when my daughter
Darren was Flabbergasted to see Anita's lip smashed on his lips. Before his mind could digest the event, Anita hurriedly broke the kiss and ran to her room.Darren knew he has fucked up! He knew Anita was embarrassed for not returning the kiss. He caressed his head backward, not knowing what to do. If he had prepared or was expecting it, he would have known how to retaliate."Fool! It's not as if you don't like the taste of her lips. How would be so dumb!" He blamed himself.He put his hand on his heart, which was beating rapidly for the first time in his life. The feelings were so different to the extent that Darren was confused and couldn't know what it meant.He also ran to Anita's room but it was too late. Anita had closed her door."Wife, let's chat please" He begged."You need to rest. Moreso, time has already gone" Anita screamed from the inner side of her room.Darren was left with no other choice than to vacate his room. He slumped on his bed, recalling the event.He used his
Darren was dumbfounded. To say he was shocked was an understatement. He couldn't believe Maya and Stella, who always respect him so much, could talk to him like a servant."Could it be their drunken state is affecting them or they did that intentionally? Did they like Anita to that extent? They didn't even fear that he may send them back to the street with just a call!" He thought."Darren! Darren!! Darren!!! You surely fucked up" his mind scolded him."I know but it isn't my fault. Everything is new to me" she retorted back.He pushed his anger away and dialed Anita's phone the second time. The phone kept ringing but no one picked it up.He caressed his hair in frustration and thought for a while. He called Maya but her number didn't connect. He immediately tracks Anita's number before dashing out of the house.After a few minutes of driving, he was able to locate the bar. He parked and rushed out of his car.After glaring for a while, he sighted the ladies, placing their heads on th
Darren sat on the couch, reading from a newspaper. He has served the two Ladies an herbal tea, gotten from his father for hangover. Their headache has gone but yay, they need to work to earn their master's forgiveness.Maya was mopping the shiny tiles in the living room while Stella was cleaning the glass windows.Dareen ordered both of them to make the house sparkling clean before they attempted to go, despite the house wasn't dirty.Their happiness knew no bounds that the master didn't punish them. Eagerly, they both began to do the cleaning. Also, their phones were returned to Darren, they had left them in his car.Suddenly, footsteps were being heard from the staircase and they needed nobody to tell them it was Anita."What's happening here?" She questioned feeling shocked to see the ladies working like maids in her home."Nothing, good morning. We are only trying to help out since we gave the young master…sorry, your husband a lot of work to do last night when we were drunk" Maya
