"I did it," Clifford responded. Henry slowly shifted his gaze to give him a shocked stare. "What?" Stella exclaimed as she couldn't believe what she was hearing. So it happened under her nose and she never knew?With tightly clenched fists, Henry questioned, "What the hell is going on?" Despite his urge to throw a punch, he refrained, and decided to wait for him to reply. Clifford lowered his head in contrition, remorseful. "Ma'am, young master, I'm truly sorry for not saying it sooner, but Mr. Reuben asked me to bring the frame right before he passed away. He gave me instructions to place it there.""I didn't realize the significance of it so I thought it wasn't important." Fidgeting with his hands, he continued, "Also, I didn't have time to ask him about it before he passed away."The room fell into a heavy silence as he finished speaking, and then, with a deep sigh, he slowly sank to his knees."I never meant this to happen, I'm really sorry," he apologized as Henry sighed."Sta
Henry clenched his fists, keeping a straight face for a second, but then he relaxed and put on a small smile."Thanks, at least you're letting me see the manager. So, where exactly is his office?" He asked as Rosa rolled her eyes and pointed in a certain direction."You see that corner over there? That's his office. You can go embarrass yourself for all I care. After all, Clara has already dumped a guy like you and will soon be getting married," she said.Henry smirked, raising one of his eyebrows, then he walked away from them. As he made his way to the office, he cleared his throat and knocked on the door, but there was no response. So, he decided to open the door himself, gently pushing it open and closing it behind him."Good morning, sir," he said, his little smile fading away as he looked at the man who was busy with his laptop."Yes, how may I help you?" The man shifted his gaze to Henry and removed his eyeglasses to get a better look."The same stupid and unreasonable guy who a
Everyone was frozen in place as Stella spoke and Henry folded his arms across his chest. She was about to take a step towards his office when Manager Billy came out. "What is going on here?" he said with a contorted face, but his eyes widened as soon as he saw Stella. He walked quickly and bowed his head. "I'm so happy to have you at my bank today ma'am, it's been a while since I've seen you. Please forgive me for not coming to visit," he said with a smile on his face as she smirked. He raised his head up as she immediately slapped him, shocking everyone. She looked at Henry and he caught her looking at him, then he winked at her, as she smiled. She turned back to Billy and clenched her fists. Rosa was confused at what was happening. She secretly pulled out her phone from her shirt pocket and began recording, then put it back so no one would suspect. She wanted to show it to Clara. Her eager eyes flitted between each person's expression, taking in every twitch and gasp."What rubb
Her jaw dropped in shock. Suspicion and confusion flooded her as she threw her gaze to Henry, staring at him up and down. Doubts swirled in her mind. Henry caught her staring at him. He quickly understood that look."Wait...you don't think I can…?" He frowned."Sir, I really don't want to bother you and no worries I can manage myself..." she interrupted hesitantly because she didn't believe he could have that kind of money, and even if he did, she didn't want to be a burden. But the truth was she was drowning in debts and didn't know where to turn. Henry cut her off, "Oh lest I forget, you have a boyfriend right? He would provide it for you, so no need for those tears you are dropping." Irene froze, clenching her fists in her lap. Boyfriend? She could feel fresh tears welling up but swiftly turned away, gazing fiercely out the window to hide her watery eyes. Henry noticed her sudden change in expression and frowned, realizing he had touched a nerve. He studied her face, wanting t
He searched the bed thoroughly and there was still no knife. Even the hole in the wall was shockingly closed up.Wait, there is no way the knife would have wings and fly right? He was sure he kept it there before leaving his room!"Ok, then what about the letter and tiny button?" He searched everywhere but there was nothing. Bewilderment clouded his features, his frustration heightened."What the hell is going on here?" He wondered as he stared with his forehead gathered.The waitress and the receptionist both had looks of confusion on their faces. "Sir, are you sure of what you are saying?" The waitress inquired, prompting an eye roll from him. He realized he seemed unwell with the way he was acting. But he wasn't speaking out of nowhere and why would he come outside and start blaming her for no reason? "I need to see your manager, the both of you should leave my room," he said as they bowed and left with perplexity on their faces. He walked to the window side, peering out into t
"Young master, you should remember that the person after you is not an ordinary person. A machine can be used to open a door like that," Clifford elucidated.Henry absorbed all he said, a sigh escaping his lips as he and Clifford walked out of the hotel together.He walked towards his car. "And don't worry Young master, I will purchase an apartment for you, in a well secured place..." Clifford proposed."Why can't I just go home instead of purchasing an apartment?" Henry queried, a crease forming between his brows. Clifford shook his head, stating, "because ma'am said so. Your dad's death isn't ordinary, and you are in disguise. Not all the enemies will recognize you, and that is why you have to stay far away and keep your identity hidden, it's just for sometime, remember?"Henry nodded thoughtfully, slipping into his car. He waited for Clifford to enter his own car before igniting his engine and when he did, he followed him at the back.His phone began ringing. As soon as he saw th
Clifford said, pointed at Henry, who shook his head and gazed at the man. The man was both shocked and confused, struggling to understand what was happening."Why are you surprised?" Henry asked as he stared at the agent whose face his looked like that of a lost person. "Oh, it seems he didn't know that you are the one who actually used your money to purchase the duplex," Clifford said.Henry slowly collected the papers from his hands. The man's grip was initially firm, however, as he noticed Henry's cold stare, he relaxed his hands.The man remained in a state of shock as he watched Henry sign the papers. He had never realized that he was insulting a wealthy and influential individual who had tried to explain the situation to him, despite his continuous disrespectful remarks."I'm so sorry, sir..." he apologized calmly to Henry, who ignored him and handed the papers back whe he was done signing.He watched Henry's silent and serene expression, scared of what was going on his head. "
"Wait a damn minute," Beatrice exclaimed, her disgust glaring. "Are you really that dumb not to realize he invested the money in my fashion designing business? Girl, you're the highest level of delusional," She folded her arms, eyes scanning down to her toe, followed by a disrespectful eye roll.Another wave of heartbreak washed over her, tears threatening to spill out of her eyes. Meanwhile, Henry was stunned by the huge amount of money she gave to him. Really she was in love with him to the extent that it blinded her and made her do something so unimaginable. Irene stared at Beatrice directly in the eyes. “So, you made me stay in this abusive relationship saying that he was gonna change when all this while you had your own ulterior motive. And you,” she turned to Sage. “You took my love for granted and betrayed me but it's fine. I have nothing to say to you,” Fueled by anger, she began to stomp away.Henry, shaking his head, hurriedly followed her. "Hey!" He called but she continue
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
