Priscilla was quiet for a moment as she sighed then wore her leather jacket, she pulled off and kept on the couch."No response right?" Irene spoke with an emotional cool voice but she ignored her."I'm leaving, I think I'm done with what I came here for" She then turned back and began to walk out of the house. Irene couldn't stop her, she had to let her go, it saddened her seeing her leave, the silence she gave to her already answered the question and Irene thinks that maybe she just wanted more love and that's all. She went to the kitchen and prepare coffee then came out of the kitchen and turned off the fire on top of the candle, then turned on the light switch. She opened her phone just to check whether she missed calls or text messages, then she saw that she missed a private number call.She squeezed her forehead wondering who was that, she would have thought of Henry but there was no way he would call her with a private number, she crossed her legs then scroll through when sh
Henry himself didn't flinch because he was expecting the reaction from him since he mentioned his mum's name.He his just realizing now that the only name he feared the most is Ms Susan White. "So tell me who's the fuck did you just called?" The man wild man spoke with a smirk on his face as Henry slowly brought his phone down and thrust his pocket.Then heard a voice which made him turn from him."Me" And it was Caeser, who looked so annoyed the walked up to Henry as he saw the Stain of blood from his mouth to jaw, he clenched his fists then looked at the bodyguard that did it and gave him a huge punch on his cheek.The guard was surprised as he lifted up his head. "Mayor..." He could even finish the sentence as another punch came from the other side of his face which made him bleed up. "What's going on?" He muttered beneath his breathe, because he was one of the loyal guards of Mayor Caeser who has never done anything to warrant this punch from him, so it was quite surprising why
This question almost made Caeser to choke on his wine, he slowly dropped the glass on the take and see gazed at who the question was coming from.He could swear that he wasn't expecting the question to be coming from his mouth, and he also wondered why he was asking that kind of question, yes he understands the fact that Susan was his mother but still his personal life doesn't concern him."Look me and Ms Susan are just on a good terms together, friends for a long time now and that's all" He just spoke half of everything, yes they are friends but that's not what Henry wants to hear from his mouth, and he can't ask him directly."Do you really want me to sign the papers?" Caeser was getting annoyed by this meanwhile Henry was just sipping his wine, one by one with the Pen between his fingers rolling it as he wait for him to answer the simple question. "I don't know what you really want me to say" "Ok, do you have feelings for Susan?" He bellowed as Caesar's heart sank, with his eyes
Henry jaw dropped. "What?" He exclaimed as he ran his eyes to the laptop at the front of Clifford then dragged it closer to him.The video was still playing as he watched through. "If you check so well you will know that it's Simon, based on the height and also the wrist watch he carried was the same one he often wear anytime he comes to work" Henry explained more as he realized why he didn't recognize him earlier on.He knew for a fact that he felt as if he knew him somewhere, the physique was so familiar but his mind never went to Simon, because he believed that Simon was just a mere messenger to his master who is still unknown yet. "Wow, this is kind of surprising and confusing" Henry muttered as he sat down. "What if we stop chasing him or thinking of chasing him?" Clifford suggested."I really thought of that but he looks quite smart, like he knows our every move on him, meanwhile that manager needs to be pulled down since he knows Simon then they won't be a need for my trans
Clifford said out of nowhere as Henry gazed at him in confusion, why did he suddenly mention her when they are talking about something serious.Even at that she was fine at home or maybe would go to her GYM where are happiness lies, she can also fight for herself so they need not to worry about her."Priscilla?""Oh you don't know she was once a gangster?" He asked thinking that Henry will be surprised about it but Henry was surprised that he knew about it. He nods his head as cliff was taken aback. "She was once a gangster in her teen age before she repents and saved herself from a real criminal gang in another city, she then started working inside the Gym and gradually she is what she is today" He explained briefly about her as Henry nods his head because he knew everything already, but that wasn't the point he wants to know why he mentioned her name."I think she can diffuse this" Henry couldn't make sense out of it. "What do you mean by that?" He asked him."Yes, she can since s
As the words "a gun" left her lips, she felt bewilderment creep up her neck. Could it truly be a gun that caused the tire to burst?Did someone shoot out their tire? She didn't have time to investigate further. Doubt crept in as she ran her hands through her hair. If she didn't get a move on, she'd be late before the bomb went off. "Gun?" The driver echoed, turning to face her with raised eyebrows. She nodded, already growing impatient. "A fucking bullet. I don't have time to check the type of bullet now," she muttered, more to herself than the driver. Checking her pocket for money, she continued, "I better find another taxi. Here, for your trouble." She pressed the money into his hand, not waiting for change. Being late was not an option. Arguing would only waste more precious minutes.She stepped onto the roadside as she glanced back and forth for another taxi, but none appeared on the empty street. With a huff of frustration, she slammed her fists against a pole.If waiting wa
"Huh?" blinked in confusion as his eyes traveled to her hands. She was carrying a file folder clutched to her chest as she walked in. Henry quickly stood in her way.Her head arched towards him. "Excuse me," she said politely but firmly, side stepping around him and entering the office. Though, her movements came to a halt as her eyes caught the view of the office.“What the hell?!” She exclaimed.Shit! Henry cursed. He looked past her and saw the state the room was in. Papers and folders scattered everywhere, furniture toppled over. Almost everywhere she stepped, there was a new file for her leg to step on. It no longer resembled an office, but more like a place where a struggle had taken place.Irene slowly turned around, her eyes scanning the chaos. Her forehead creased deeper with each new discovery.Henry could see the questions building up in her eyes, ready to burst out. Irene felt a momentary fear when she saw the scene, but she tried to calm herself. She examined Henry close
The lights of the bomb's components were off, and the timer had gone blank, blending in the darkness. Henry opened Clifford's drawer, took out a torch, and switched it on.He positioned it to shine on the bomb so he could see clearly.There were some parts of it that were still emitting light, but they gradually went dark. Henry couldn't believe how relieved he felt at that moment. He took a deep breath, realizing that everything was returning to normal and that a new tragedy wouldn't occur in Green Hill City. Simon's plans had already failed. Everything had crumbled before his eyes.As the last glow of the bomb died away, Henry's gaze drifted to Irene. In the torchlight, he saw a wide smile of relief and joy splitting her face. His eyes couldn't help but reflect with gratitude towards her. If not for her quick wits, who knows how many lives might have been lost this night? She had saved his father's legacy, the company he'd spent decades building.At that moment, Henry wanted noth
Henry also once felt that Caeser was the boss but then again, Simon mentioned the fact that his boss was after Caesar and he also met him when he then confirmed that he was sent a life threatening letter for stopping the weapons from entering inside Green Hill city. He scoffed. "I'm definitely sure that he isn't, Caeser is just Stella's friend who wants nothing than the power of White Group to win the next election coming up" The guard nods his head as Henry picked up his phone and dialed Irene's number and That time she picked the call. "Hey Henry, lots of things happened but I'm fine" Henry was confused as concern filled up on his face, he was already reaching his room as he opened the door awaiting her response. "The manager, I think your friend was questioning me about you, not that I'm annoyed though but I think he sounded a little mean" "Just tell what did he say to you" "He asked whether I like you or something then he was like you are meant for someone, then some
"Look, even at that you don't have to fight for it, I'm a man and I know that for sure that Henry will fight for Irene if I'm not lying she is in love with him right?" Quo asked as she doesn't even respond to him she felt it was a waste of time talking to him, she just want someone to understand her and support her with everything. "I know the answer to that already but why don't you just go rest?" She immediately grabbed him by the collar as she was just an inch closer to him feeling his breathe. "Just because we fucked doesn't mean you have the right to question me, it was a huge mistake from my side and also I think I would block your fucking number..." Before she could finish what she was saying he kissed her lips. "It was fun right?" He asked as she immediately removed her hands from his collar the cringed really hard that she felt like taking a knife and slit her throat. Immediately she left Henry's house that day, she got a call from Quo to come meet her if she h
"I know"Henry muttered but Victor and Samson just realized it.How are they going to share the room, because there was no way one of the them would sleep on the couch, but Henry already solved this issue so he wasn't worried about it."Just continue showing us around please" The man nods his head, what was on his mind was that he would sent some boys to bring in atleast a two bed bunk so that the last two persons can sleep on them,but since Henry didn't bother he refused to bring that up again, he was just focusing on showing them each of the rooms.Henry smiled because the room was big enough and has a comfy bed, it's soft and was really a cool one, all the rooms were cleaned very well, and arranged properly, even the toilet Henry expected that it won't be that convincing but still it was okay, nothing like it was manageable, he was grateful for that, he knows that if he would tell Clifford or snap it and how it to him he would immediately change the guesthouse or atleast they will
Samson's eyes widened in surprise, he wasn't told that it was this long, the only thing Henry told him was that, they were going to find Simon who was also the cause of his brother's death and he was determined to find him at all cost, his brother has done a lot for him so atleast what he could for him is to find his killer and maybe put him in cell or kill him. Henry scoffed as he saw in the rearview mirror how his big his eyes came out then went back to normal, his plan was that after some hours of drive almost reaching mid night then they would stay either at a hotel or guesthouse then after that the next morning would be another ride.He doesn't want to spend all the hours at the road driving while they will be all hungry and sleepy, and that's what Samson thought too as he reasoned with Henry in his mind."Well that true, I can't leave my tummy empty without having something to eat, I might end up dying if I'm trying to fight"Samson grumbled as Victor scoffed. "You can throw a
"who?" She asked as she then thought that it was Henry since he was the only person he knew that would come looking for her at the office and maybe to tell her for the fact that he wasn't going to be around."The manager Clifford" Her eyes widened as she shifted herself from the bed and sat down at the edge of the bed. "But why? Did I do something wrong?""Not really but though he was like you should come to my office immediately, he sounded so serious though"Her heart sank as she began to think where she made a mistake, but she could grasp anything bad she had ever done, she has always been a good lady with her staffs and also the director of the sales department."Look you shouldn't worry about anything okay?""Are you sure?" Irene asked because she was doubting it."Of course, if anything bad happens all of us wouldn't agree to it, you have been a good lady to all of us so I think you shouldn't worry at all, or was they something you did that I'm not aware of? "She hissed bec
He felt his heart sank as he wondered what she was doing at her place, it has been a long time now since he ever set his eyes on her, he felt so angry at this point, he prayed nothing bad happened to Irene. When they reached her house, he came down even before the driver tries coming down to open the door for him."I will be right back" Henry muttered casually so they won't see that he was so tensed up.As he walked into her small apartment, he knocked first but there was no response, he was about to say it's him but he doesn't know where she was at that moment.He took a deep breathe as he knocked again and this time he heard a sound of a key shaking close to the door as it got opened. Irene gazed up at him with her jaw clenched and her eyebrows lowered and was almost to mutter a word but then it was Henry as she chooses to calm down, her eye lit up then she slowly smiled. "Come in" Henry hesitated for a moment before he came inside, he looked thoroughly to make sure that the mat
Immediately Henry spotted him sitting down on the staircase, he walked really fast to his side, victor saw him coming as he stood with his laptop and a school bag he carried in his hand."So you are all ready right?" Henry asked as he nods his head. He was putting on a baggy jeans and a hoodie, it was winter already so that why he was dressing like that.After he opened the door and entered inside, he walked really fast upstairs like taking two stairs so he would be fast. He reached his room as he began to arrange some of his things inside his back to embark on this journey, he really hoped that it would be a success and won't end up taking lives.After he was done arranging his things, he came out of his room then as he sighed Priscilla's room he decided to check whether she was inside so that he would be able to tell her a good bye, she has his spare keys so they won't be any problem.As he peeped through the window, no one was inside, it was literally empty, he sighed as he knew
Henry's phone begins to ring as he took it out from his pocket when he saw the name of the screen he picked it up immediately."Hello Henry, it's seems you are not at home, I'm at your doorstep now"He said with his innocent voice."Don't worry I will be back home, just give me sometime" Henry assured victor as he cut the call.He was stunned that he was already done with what he had and came early to his apartment, he was expecting them to be going at midnight, he was going with bodyguards so there was no need of worrying about security, he is also security conscious. A call came through his phone as he planned on dropping it inside his pocket then he saw the caller ID which was Ms. Stella and then picked it up."Ok already coming to pick you up, I hope you are okay because you weren't picking up your calls, Caeser said the meeting was over" Henry placed his left hand on his forehead and closed his eyes, he was actually dealing with them Ryan and Clara and that's why he didn't eve
"I think you should mind the way you talk to my wife Henry or else.."Henry blurted. "Or else what? And what did I say to her that's bad now? I don't really like the fact that you make me seem like the bad guy here""And of course you are, you have changed and she is trying to tell you how bad that is...""Is she my mum?"This made Ryan speechless, he just stared at Henry, clenching his fists and controlling himself not to give him a mark on his face. "And also isn't it you guys who stopped at my business? Why can't you just leave? Not that I'm holding you, the fuck is wrong with all of you, and what would you gain from insulting me, huh?"Clara scoffed. "Because you deserved it Henry" "Does that make any sense to you? Clara I was fucking good to you right? And I make sure you enjoyed my company, I stayed by your side and make sure that I would bear anything that you do to me, remember raining insults on me during your birthday night and I literally had to apologize, huh?" As Henry
