Darren stood in front of the hall, looking exceptional as usual. Easton also stood beside him and the reporters were listening attentively to hear him out. That was the first time he called them and they also made sure to come out massively."Good evening to you all. I'm here to talk about the pictures of my personal assistant and I that have been roaming the internet since the early hours of today. Initially, I didn't wanna talk about it but at a point, I think this is the best option, so that the cops intervene" he started.Easton opened the bottled water and gave it to him. He sipped from it before he continued."Truly, those two people in the pictures are my pa and i. As reporters, I think you know the damages of work hazard, despite working for only one sector. Now imagine what a CEO like me faces everyday, trying to make sure all my employers are well. I got a message, few days ago that one of my accountants was planning to leave the country with the company's money. Trying to v
The following morning, Zara went to the office. She still had two more resting days but she thought going there would earn her more trust from Anita, since the company has been dragged on social media for allowing her models to be working at the casino. Most especially, Maya was dragged for her incompetency which wasn't true.She noticed that all eyes were on her as she parked Ola's car that she was using. She dressed well, her pregnancy has started showing a bit. She neglected the stare and entered the company."Good morning" she greeted Stella that she met at the entrance but Stella only hissed in return. Zara knew coming back from the company wasn't gonna be easy since her picture was all over the internet but she thought that she was going to cope, knowing that no agency would sign her again.She entered Anita's office after she knocked and was given the go ahead to enter."What are you doing here?" Was the first question that Anita asked her."What else, I'm back to work. My le
Ola was in awe with the physical look of the house. The house looked like an old abandoned house in the nineteenth century. She couldn't believe such a house would still be available in the Twenty first century. She was perplexed."Is this the house you are talking about?" She asked the woman for confirmation."Yes, it's two flats and I need a tenant in one. This is one of the best apartments you can find in this area and it's also cheap" the grandma Explained with joy written all over her face."Oh no! I need a good apartment. Not a shattered one like this" she cried out."There is nothing wrong with this apartment. I've been living here since I got married to my late husband. You can even get cheap fruits and vegetables in this neighborhood since we harvest it directly from our farms. It's the best you can get but if you wish to go to the Town, then you need to prepare thousands of dollars per monthly payment" the grandma said.Ola found herself, sitting down on the floor, thinking
"You are moving out of this house? Are you for real? We discussed this accomodation for but not quite a long and you concluded on moving out just like that? Have you gotten an apartment?" Monica bombarded her with a series of questions."Sis, I'm tired if living like there is gonna be another hope for us to rise again, which isn't forthcoming. Nathan that scammed our father has been sentenced to life imprisonment with his properties confiscated but no hope to get out father's money. I think I need to start believing in reality. I need to start all over again and I have already taken the brave step the day I started working as a cleaner. Fortunately, I will be able to afford a small apartment for myself. I will find another three hour part Time job later. I think you also need to start something. By the way, don't forget to drop my share of the money left from the burial on my table tomorrow morning. I need it" she said and was able to climb the staircase when Monica stopped her."How
"What!" Monica was shocked."What have I done to deserve that? I was only trying to gain the access to see you because it's important" she stuttered."Access to see me by creating nuisance inside a peaceful place of work? I'm gonna tolerate any shit from you. Easton,the damages must be paid this week" he instructed, then went back to his office.Monica sat down on the floor, she was helpless. She had never imagined that it was going to turn out that way."Ma'am, this isn't the best place to think. You should go back to your house and get yourself a lawyer" one of the security guard advised.Slowly and sluggishly, she took up and left, without Uttering any statement.She was trying so hard to fight the tears that were threatening to fall on her face. She sniffed them back inside."No, it's not gonna happen. Darren said that to scold me. I'll go to his house later to apologize" she thought as she entered the house.She sat on the sofa, Lost in thoughts when the door opened, revealing Av
Monica entered the house, looking tattered. She was coming from the court, where she was asked to pay a dime of five hundred thousand dollars and she reluctantly did, since she had no choice.All her life investment was gone, just because of a silly mistake.She collapsed on the sofa, crying like a day old baby. She was already frustrated.Ava was at the corner, looking drunk and she was still drinking. All her efforts to look for her daughter and reconcile with her were all futile. She was like a barren woman in her old age. Funniest enough, there were no properties under her possession."Do I continue living like this? I don't even have any dime to eat, talkless of accomodation. Darren that was supposed to help me had turned into a beast. What would I do?" Monica thought.While thinking, she decided to call Ola to see for work in the restaurant that she was working at. She was already at the junction that there was no other hope than to work."Hello sister" Ola greeted me from the
"Is this the hotel?" She was stunned.The hotel was made with mud and there was a well, as well as a kitchen outside, where food was being cooked with firewood.That was Zara's first time seeing people cooking with firewood."Yes, this is the best in our area. They offer you free food and I bet you won't be able to resist the taste. Also, the payment is just thirty dollars per day. Isn't that okay?" The man smiled, then went back to his work."Babe, this a village. You can't expect it to be glamorous like the place we were coming from. Let's manage this for a while, pending the time that we will get our apartment" Albert managed to convince her, then walked to the woman that was cooking, since there was no sight of receptionist they could make inquiry form."Good evening, we are here for a room. Who is gonna attend to us?" Albert asked, though the smoke from the kitchen was entering his Eyes but there was no other option."Oh, welcome" the woman came outside the kitchen, smiling at th
"Master, the CCTV cameras at the abducting side have been hacked. We will need some minutes to retrieve the footage" one of the guys Said."I don't fucking care of any methof you opt for. Just make sure that the footage is retrieved within a few minutes' ' Darren yelled.He was already sweating profusely. He wasn't foreseeing that from happening. Anita was assigned a driver which was supposed to be acting as her bodyguard but she chose to drive by herself that day, all because of the dinner with her friends.Assuming the guard was there, what happened might have been prevented because he was capable of dealing with whatever shit that may come her way.After a few minutes, Darren asked again."Any progress?" "The file is already loading. The hacker did a good job by deleting the footage but forgot we have access to all the cameras in this city" Easton smirked."Ready master" he said again after a few seconds.They checked the camera and noticed that the car has been around her office
