Harry stayed silent all along. He decided to give everyone he bothered a break.Everything was tiring on his end, as he tried to make everyone appreciate him.Demon Andrews noticed he was getting some files and moving along with them.“Are you going somewhere? You seem to be taking everything,” he uttered, and Harry startled.“Perhaps I wish I could take my entire life out of this place, but the memories are permanent,” Harry replied, putting the files in his hand inside a carton box.“Are you going on a leave? It's too early, I mean, you just returned from one. I'm concerned. ,” Demon Andrews asked.“It's obvious I'm not in the mood to be concerned. I don't want to get myself involved in any havoc anymore,” he replied harshly and Demon Andrews found it really hard to utter another word, or ask another question.After packing from the office, he moved into his car to go to his house. Demon Andrews realized that he had missed a lot the little moment he was gone.He took over from wher
Alice was turned to realize that she blames the wrong person."You have been here for the longest of times, and you never altered any word about having to be the one who tampered with the brakes of the car. How could you do such a thing?" Stephanie called out.Precious turned to Stephanie in the spare while trying to explain herself."I have been trying my entire life to be in his Direction and also to get close to him. It never happened but he was trying to get the attention of another woman who basically did not even care about him. How did you expect me to treat everything?" She started."After finding out that it was her I made myself get a job under her watch and made myself her personal assistant. That is a big win for me and to still be to know even that at the end of this I might get sacked. Harry was the apple of my eyes, I have always loved to be around him and for whatever reason he never tried looking to my Direction," she narratedPrecious was never known by anybody. She
Harry made a call to address Christian's behavior. He was serious about telling everything he knew to him to curb the way he was behaving."I know you were not expecting my call. You must be lost at the moment you see my number," he added."I don't even have this number," Christian uttered in confusion."If I had this number, you would be begging different sources to hear from me. I don't care about what you are up to anymore. I have left everything for you and I don't know why you can't accept that," he added."You again, you should reduce the manner you distribute your pride. I'm not in for anything as such. How can you think I'm not seeing anything you are doing," Harry added."I am seeing everyone's things you are doing and I'm giving you freedom to act based on what you like. I don't know why, but I'm not just liked by any lady I come across," he added.Christian laughed. He could contend with the joke Harry made."You are really trying really hard to make me laugh right now. Ho
How did Owen become so bitter about others?It went down so many years ago...The Mafia's of Owen was an outstanding model to the other upcoming Mafia members The strong pack in the land made it a tribe of its own.In the group of the Mafia's, several men were gathered, training together.By their looks, one would know that each one of them were strong fighters, and leaders.With all the most outstanding things about them, there were a lot of swindles. The company was in a silent chaos. With no manager or owner to push the rules, the battles, and every other thing concerning the company.There were a lot of skilled fighters in the company, yet commotion was their biggest win. Each and everyone had their respective strengths and weaknesses.Although, one seems to have more battle strategies as they continued training everyday for the betterment of the company.After a long time, most of the people on the training ground had stopped training to watch the two men battle and some stoppe
"I know that you don't want to take things further. I like how it's going," Emily uttered.Christian stared at her, smiling."Do you want it to be like that? Are you okay with it?" He asked, staring into her eyes.Christian was sure that he wanted nothing more. He already had a lot of engagements. He was still trying to get over with the fact that he had something doing with his Ex-wife."Yes, I am. I have to go back to my father. I need to tell him the truth. I might not be around for a while and I need you to understand," he added.Emily found love in the hands of a stranger. She found herself around someone she was not sure she was going to spend the rest of her life with.Christian was sure that nothing was going to happen. It was just something to keep him busy and clear his head.After Emily left, Christian moved back to his priority. His priority was making sure his company was better. Stanley was the only one who there for him, but there were some days he was absent.It was a
Emily got back home to face the trivia of her planned marriage. Her Father realized she ran away. They had to settle everything right from that very beginning. "You are not going to run away again," her father said. Emily smirked and she nodded without saying a word. Later on, she retired to her room feeling numb, and helpless. All she could remember was scribbling her signature on those thick printed papers. She had to harden her heart. She felt like a mess, and she showered again. She washed away her fears, her pains and regrets. When she came out with her robe, she found some ladies waiting. "Hello, Emily," one of them uttered. "I thought I did all of this before?" She uttered. This is different. "We are sorry we came late. Please sit, we don't have enough time," she added. She couldn't speak. The simplest but most beautiful wedding gown she’d ever seen. It was rolled in with a hanger and I couldn't take her eyes off it. She felt like getting it and keeping it for th
Life is really a twist ... we make our own plans but sometimes life always have a different plan .But shouild we because of that stop planning our lives.. no, we keep planning.We are responsible for our actions . but we are not responsible for our feelings.when love gets hold of you,,, only you will know and understand your own heart, people around you may try but they wont just understand you. They say love is like a butterfly, .. indeed it is for Alice. But sometimes, it is good to let it go, to let it fly, if it is your own it will surely fly back to you. but if it is not yours ... it will fly so far away. But the good thing is that your own, your very own will come to you because love comes to those who believe in it. In life, don't fight to get loved, dont fight for someone's attention.... if you as an individual is worth someone's time they will give it. It is not love if it needs help. Though love is pain, lots of sacrifices needs to be made, in love. But still, the sa
“Father, you caused all of this,” she roared.Stephanie’s father was confused, and stared at her in a disgusted manner.“What do you mean? How do think sometimes? “he uttered, moving away from her.“You are the reason all of this is happening to me. You would have allowed me to make my decisions. You would have listened to me when I said this was how it was supposed to be,” she added.“I did what I thought was right. You have no right to say I didn't know what I was doing,” she replied.Stephanie couldn't hold back her emotions. She stayed with her Father for a while and never said a word.“You are the reason why my life looks useless. I don't know how to even start or where to start from,” she replied.Stephanie's mother came in and looked at both of them in confusion.“You should have no right to talk to your father in such a disgusting manner,” she picked in.“Oh! I'm talking to him in a disgusting manner? You have been a weird mother. I have gone through a lot without you or your
CHAPTER 113Wedding bells "Hi, everyone. What's going on here?Did I interrupt anything? I can see y'all are having a good time, right?" Doctor Mario dashed inside Stephanie's ward with a document in his possession. Stephanie's conversation with her Mom was fruitful as they made peace and vowed to improve each other. Personally, Mrs. Rolando instructed everyone to join them inside the ward while she used the opportunity to apologize to Chris for treating him like a piece of trash while he was married to her daughter, Stephanie. The whole family is set to put the past behind them and embrace a new beginning that would be beneficial to everyone. Stephanie's near-death experience made them realize that there's more to life rather than beefing each other. "Not at all. Doctor Mario." Stephanie smiled. "I'm glad you're here with us.You came at the right time. We were just discussing my discharge date before you showed up. What's the update, doctor?" "Somewhat Positive if I must
Family ties."How do you feel now?" Chris asked Stephanie while she lay on her sick bed. She had her bandages wrapped around her head to enable a speedy recovery. It's not even 48 hours yet and Stephanie has lost much weight due to the excess bleeding from her head."I feel some type of way right now. I just can't explain. I can't wait to stand on my feet again." Stephanie responded in a faint voice as she held Chris's hands so passionately and stared directly into his eyes, "Thank You!""For? I can't recall doing anything," Chris responded to pretend he didn't know what she was talking about."Come on, Chris. Don't act like you don't know. Of course, you know what I meant. Thank you for everything. I wasn't expecting you to come through for me in my distress and trust me, I don't take your kindness for granted. I want you to know that I appreciate everything you do for me and more," Stephanie buttressed and displayed her heartfelt gratitude. She forgot to address the horrible texts s
Mrs. Rolando's venom.Heavy falls of snow in June are not uncommon, and only for a short time towards the end of July are the nights exempt from light frosts.The climate is hot and humid in the lowlands and along lower places, but in the uplands, it is dry with high temperatures and a cool atmosphere.Mrs. Rolando hasn't shown up yet and everyone's worried. Her hastiness would determine how fast Stephanie would get better."Have you figured out what to do? We don't have plenty of time to gamble around," Doctor Mario asked Chris. He was taking a stroll when he saw Chris and Emily standing at the reception. He expected Chris to have fetched Stephanie's family members previously discussed in his office."I know, Doctor. I'm working towards that I just called her mom and she'll be here pretty soon. Just buy us more time, please," Chris pleaded.Emily wasn't paying attention to their discussion. She concentrated her gaze on a woman approaching from a distance which she suspected was Mrs
CHAPTER 109The agony of Stephanie."Mr. Chris. Are you there?" Mario waved at the lost Chris to rejuvenate his lost soul. His mind went blank the moment Mario disclosed traces of narcotics found inside Stephanie's system."I'm fine! I am just trying to process everything. I'm still in shock.' Christian placed his head on Mario's desk to nurse his pain.Christian is quite aware that Mario is telling the truth but he's scared to admit it. He would rather pretend not to know to avoid Mario from suspecting that Stephanie is into drugs. He wishes he could visit Jayden at the station and strangle him with bare hands. He's the reason they're into this mess."I want to ask an important question and I'll need you to be honest with me. Can you do that?" Mario asked."Sure!" Chris nodded in a faint voice. His baritone voice has disappeared mysteriously without a trace due to the overwhelming situation.Narrowing his gaze around his office, Mario slowly whispered, "Is Stephanie a drug addict?"
Compound Woes"She's not even responding, Chris. Please assist me in taking her inside," Emily begged Chris. Stephanie is losing a lot of blood and Emily isn't about it. Just when she thought their problems were over, Stephanie's accident gave me another reason to trap them back inside the hospital's premises."Where are we taking her to? I know a nearby hospital where Stephanie would receive the best treatment. Let's get her inside my car," Christian said. He knew where Emily was driving but he just wanted her to spell it out."What sort of question is that? Why take her elsewhere when we are in the right place?Can't you see that we are in the hospital already? We should carry her inside where she would be treated inside." She responded with a harsh voice."Hell no! There's no way Stephanie would be treated in this same hospital. Have you forgotten what happened recently? To me, this hospital is bad news and must be avoided at all costs." Chris instructed at the expense of Stephani
Breaking free.Brandy gritted his teeth, remembering how confident he was a couple of minutes ago. He doesn't feel the same anymore and fears the worst that's about to him. His sense of loss was so deep, that he thought it'd kill him some nights.He paced around the cell for a couple of minutes in his prison uniform looking restless. He can't withstand the pressure anymore."Calm down, bro. It'll be fine. You've got nothing to worry about. You've been restless since we got here. We don't need that negative energy right now. We just need to stay positive." Jayden walked up to Brandy and calmed his nerves. It's crazy how you're calming the same person you're banking on for your freedom."Get your hands off me. You're in no position to say that to me. How dare you ask to stay calm when you know the situation already? You don't expect me to sit down and fold my arms right? I'm working towards my freedom unlike you with no plan. My Dad isn't picking up his calls or responding to his texts
Reconciliation Christian wasn't bothered about his potential arrest initially because he was quite confident of his innocence. He even made a declaration of becoming a Freeman who finally came to a manifestation.“I'll be going home at last. It's been a crazy adventure.” Chris smiled. He was so elated that he was going home. There's no greater joy than seeing Brandy and Jayden being arrested by the cops. If Chris was allowed to have his revenge on them, he doesn't mind shooting them in the head and watching them bleed to death. At least once in his life, he was able to do the right thing when it mattered.“Mark!” Chris halted Mark.“Where are you going? Please come back to me. There's something critical I need to discuss with you.We still have unfinished business.,” Christian called Mark when he noticed how scared Mark had become since he explained to everyone how Brandy destroyed everything. “Unfinished business? What are you talking about? Please make it make sense to me becau
The Escape route.“What's running through your mind now, Brandy? Doesn't it bother you that you might be spending the rest of your life in jail for committing a serious crime? You haven't spoken a word since we entered this vehicle. Are you planning on something I should know about?” Jayden whispered silently as the cops drove them to the station. He's noticed how unbothered Brandy has been lately.“Nothing special. I don't have Skeleton up my sleeves. I just have this peace of mind that can't be explained. I'm certain my Dad would come for me pretty soon. I've got absolutely nothing to worry about,” Brandy boasted. He isn't bothered by the arrest because he knows it's just a matter of time before his father comes through for him. When the cops got Brandy's declaration that Brandy would be arrested, he never argued or fought with them. Majestically, he smiled and walked his way into their vehicle, while Jayden kept arguing and pleading for a second chance at freedom again.Brandy's
Brandy's antics."Emily, is he telling the truth? I need you to be honest with me. You're the only one I could trust right now. Brandy is a jerk. No truth comes out of his mouth.I don't want to believe that Brandy erased all the data. What gave him the nerves to do that?" Chris focused his attention on Emily. She was the only person that wouldn't lie to him. He doesn't want to believe Mark's explanation even though it seems legit."I hate to admit this but it's nothing but the truth. Mark already said it all. If I wasn't there, I wouldn't have agreed to what he said. Everything happened right in front of me. You know what? I don't want to talk about this anymore. It saddens my heart each time I remember what happened out there.My head's spinning right now and I don't want to fall sick.," Emily narrated her ordeal in a soft tone. She's gradually losing her voice each time she opens her mouth to speak. She vowed never to speak until they reached the conclusion."Over to you Brandy. E
