VOWS OF VENGEANCE A Mother's Confession
I sighed tiredly as I followed Roslyn behind. She had promised to tell me something and I'm so eager to hear what she had to say. We stopped at a small barbecue stand that evening. The bar was buzzing with noise from a not too far distance."Would you have some?" I asked, staring over at her and she nodded. "I'm paying for two" I told the man and he smiled before wrapping up the barbecue,he handed it to me and I gave the two to Roslyn.I dipped my hand into my back pocket and brought out my wallet and paid for the barbecue. "Do you sell those drinks too?" I asked pointing over at the cokes that were resting on the wall."Of course I do. It won't be nice if you buy barbecue without drinks, should I wrap it up?" He asked and i nodded and he gave me the drink while I paid the bills. After doing so,I look into my wallet and I saw no penny in it."Let's go over there" I pointed a bench not too far from the stand and we went there and sat on it."You said you want to tell me something" I re

The world was expecting my return My disappearance was all they talked about for weeks, the people, the media. Everyone was growing restless as theories of what might have happened to me was all over the place.The suspense and everything made me happy.I let them talk, I let the suspense build. Staying silent was just the perfect game, one which I was well skilled in.I wanted to make them want me, to make them desperate for my return. Such that when I finally reappear, it would be a hit.And just as I pictured it, it happened.I picked the biggest television in the country as the stage for my grand come back— or whatever the world called it.Every newspaper headline screamed my name “JORDAN SPEAKS!” “THE TRUTH REVEALED WITH JORDAN!” As the countdown to my appearance on tv began.It was all anyone could talk about, all everyone could think of.

I trust Silvia to do just as I've told her to. All I was expecting at the moment was just results, results of the strings I was going to pull, something he'd never recover from. At some point, I felt selfish. I was literally putting Silvia's life on the line because I know he'd surely come for her after everything's going to be leaked. I should have tried another alternative. It just occurred to me. I gnashed my teeth in regret. I've been running for my own life and now I'd have to protect two souls at the same time, I grabbed my phone, “Silvia…yeah I know…as soon as you're done, grab a few stuffs and come over…I have spaces here…I know, but believe me when I say this, Coker will come for your head and he won't take chances, that's why I said you should come” I hung up the call almost immediately.

VOWS OF VENGEANCE Sabotaging
Williams had enough of beating around the bush and he decided that the next time he was going to be involved in such discussions he would not waste anytime but to put this guys under the bus. "You have made the rounds a few times and everyone has never believed you why do you think this is going to change now?" The reporter asked him when he came into the studio because quite frankly she was getting tired of his appearances and making sure that people saw him in the best light.She kind of knew that the people who came to cry wolf most times didn't even have anything attached to their name such as integrity. More evidences have been leaked to the press that he was involved in some illegal businesses not limited to human trafficking but people were still digging deep before accusing such a reputable businessman at least that was what they knew him as. "I think that question is too direct and you are only doing this to satisfy your curiosity instead of being truly involved in this ca
VOWS OF VENGEANCE Rebuild
Ethan's welcome party was a huge one because everyone wanted to get to understand why he was acting all cold and didn't even look into anyone's eyes pretending like they didn't exist. It would have made a lot of sense if most of them had taken up the offer but now they refused and were suffering from it. He and Miranda had their fights behind closed doors, but before the world,, they were a formidable pair that no one dared to cross.He whispered into Miranda's ears as the camera scheme closer just to prove that they were very close and that it would make a little sense for others to keep their tongue away from them. "This is the only place where we have to go deep as probably sharing a few kisses just to prove to people that we are the best bunch. It doesn't really mean anything to me, and I believe it's the same with you." He asked her. She didn't respond. Instead, she kept on watching ahead as the reporters came near. "This is the official launch of your company how do you fee
VOWS OF VENGEANCE Negative Allies
Early morning visitors were always the best to deal with especially when it comes to wasting some time, because they helped in awakening you before heading over to work. Ethan was surprised to see this man standing in front of his door with a file especially when he had moved from his previous home to the new one so that he could oversee everything going on in the company. Damien felt bad that he was throwing his former boss under the bus but that was not going to stop him from saying his truth because this man now had forgotten what it meant to be available and loyal at the same time. Ethan moved towards him because he intentionally didn't wake Miranda after staying up for so long the previous night. It wouldn't make any sense to do that so he wanted a level of calmness before pitching anything to her The only thing that could make her listen to him right now was if it was monetary. There was absolutely no need for him to stress her out. "Damien, I have seen you in mutual meetin

The Restored stock
Williams stretched out in prison, looking for a better way of handling the situation but found none as everything that came knocking on his door came with a lot of baggage that he could not even comprehend and was looking for the best way to handle the situation. He shouldn't have allowed his anger to get the best out of him because now he was behind bars again for the same reason he wanted to leave. "Do not come over here unless you have something tangible to tell me. If you want to convince me why don't you go ahead and just tell me from the start instead of making me believe that I have a chance but that's not the truth of the matter." He said a little bit annoyed when he saw Ethan again. This time Ethan had forgotten what it felt to be remorseful especially when he came to somebody like this and he wanted to treat him to a point where he would regret his life and never tried the same thing that he did in the beginning. "I was going to be merciful to you but I realized that you
The Returnee
Williams looked at the interior of the cell wondering how his life had declined to this state where he could no longer feed properly and was left to rot inside a place where he had absolutely no idea what was going on. It was almost as though he was wasting his time here when it could be outside taking revenge. The amount of pain that he felt was enough to send him almost across borders, but he didn't say a word; instead, he just kept on looking. The only reason that he had not committed suicide was because he didn't want Ethan and Miranda to win. They were the ones behind all of this he knew this. He just needed somebody who could trust him enough to bring him out of this mess and then he would show them the stuff that he was made of without having to break a sweat. The problem of having to wait for so long before somebody decided to take pity on him was something that he did not want to take for granted, but at the same time, he was still trying to figure out what to do next.
Odds and Opps
A little more push and Williams would have confessed that he was the one who had pulled that stunt but he already had a goal and had not achieved it yet. He would rather die than to speak up, even if the people were being screened one after the other. "Oh, is there anything wrong with you apart from the fact that you already have things set up? I don't know why you will restrict us from leaving when my mother is already in the hospital? I can't stay here simply because you did not trust that the people you employed would not have a hand in this shenanigans!"As truthful as his words might have sounded, everything was completely fake to Ethan and he began to watch the person carefully. For him to possess such an audacity, he had something to hide and it was not something small. Phil's manager also felt the same way and he turned to look at the person who was challenging him. This wasn't somebody who was begging for a job, instead it was somebody who couldn't wait to get out of thi
Explosions
"Somebody grab this man! He was the one talking to her before she fainted. Who knows if he has done something simply because she doesn't like him anymore? I don't know why you would subject yourself to such horror simply because you cannot take the hint that this woman doesn't want you in her life anymore?!" The insult did nothing against Ethan as Cassandra's fiance kept on shouting and trying to disgrace him."I'm sure you have the CCTV cameras, why do you act like a local? If you cannot use your money wisely, do you even think you should get married?" Ethan pointed at him in a derogatory manner. "I'm not going to stand here and watch you insult me simply because you cannot use your intelligence. I don't bloody care about your opinion about me either, in case you have not noticed."The insults run deeper than Phil intended it to. His face colored, as he moved closer, attempting to smack this man across the face and show everyone that he was capable. "Oh you wouldn't dare do that to
The poison
Williams watched from the server's desk, wearing his mask over his face as he moved around, entertaining visitors and asking what they would like. This idea was suggested by his friend which he had initially thought didn't make any sense until he realized how important it was to him and then figured out that he had probably lost a lot."So, what the hell is this? Do you think that I would not have been mad at you or something? I have more than enough reason not to listen to your words even if you try." Cassandra challenged Ethan when he pointed out the obvious. "My husband is a straight man, he loves me so much and...""He is bisexual. Cassandra you don't want to end up with someone like this. You cannot cope. You know this deep down, so why the unnecessary anger at me? Didn't you have a check like you should? or let me guess... You just wanted to snatch anyone that you could find and didn't mind what could come out of it right?""Yeah, and what business of yours is it? Is there any
Death trap
"Merriment has never suited anyone better than you." Ethan said with a small smile that screamed annoyance when he came in contact with Cassandra.Cassandra's eyes widened in horror at his presence, hoping that this was nothing but a prank. "You came!" She exclaimed.Ethan laughed at her unnecessary surprise because he felt like she should have known by now that he would have figured out that she was trying to move on with another person. "What kind of ex would I be if I didn't show up at your intimate engagement? Does Williams know that you are getting married to another person?" He asked in a good natured tone, shocking her to the bone.If anyone had told Cassandra a long time ago that she would have to bother herself so much about Ethan, she would have refused and called them a liar. "So what?" She challenged, "Are you going to tell him? Are you going to scream at the top of your voice that I have decided to move on with my life and not get carried away by whatever is expected o
The Wedding
"Engaged? To whom?" Ethan asked with mild curiosity, as he kept on scrolling through his phone, looking for the news in the media. How she had managed to keep it hush was still a surprise to him because immediately the media got wind of such news, they would have a field day publishing it to whomever it may concern. "So, according to insiders, it is rumored that now that Williams has been stripped of his position and she has no need for him anymore, she decided to move on with life and I don't blame her one bit." "Yeah, right. That is wonderful to hear. I wouldn't advise her to stay with him either." Ethan responded. Not only was Williams now broke, he was also a woman beater, who knew what she could say that would anger him and that may lead to her demise, so it was better that she was far away from him where he couldn't touch her. "Yeah, right. I have absolutely nothing to fear, and at the same time, I still feel like there is an issue somewhere that I have to address. Do you h
The Old Flame
Ethan leafed through the pages of information before him, enjoying his solitude.He had been used to being alone most of the time and now that wasn't just going to change because Miranda had also traveled to Zanzibar.Since she wasn't wanted by the cops, there was no need for her to remain in the country like her ex fiance and while there was a huge difference between both parties, they ensured that they remained as cordial as possible.His phone rang, cutting off his attention from what he considered important to himself."Jenna?" "Y-yeah, I'm on my way to your house. I hope you are at home. Even if you aren't, I would wait for you. I wanted to inform you about my movement so that you don't get worried about it." She explained. As much as he would have loved some more explanation he just figured out that she always found her way around things and the best way was to let her do her thing. He could handle her surprises better than Miranda. "Tell me the details for your arrival. Hav
The Recruit
"I have only wanted nothing more than to have someone by my side who could always understand me whenever there were problems. Mr Ethan is a dangerous person to cross in case most of you have not figured out that yet. If you have forgotten, I think this is your reminder." The man kept on speaking. Ethan watched them from his office, he needed somebody to put instead of him by the time he was gone from Miranda's company. He of all people knew that he wouldn't be here forever and that was enough to send him into a frenzy. It was also enough to make him begin to have other thoughts. "So, has there been anything that you have done against this company that we don't know because the moment we find out, trust me when I say that you wouldn't be spared. I don't care how long it has taken you to build a reputation. I would crumble it." Lily in the sales department spoke up. She wasn't going to allow somebody to make her look like the bad person when it wasn't as though he was also perfect h
