He let it ring the first time thinking that the caller might have made a mistake and would not resend the call.After a short while, it rang again and this time he picked it up furiously wondering who it might have been that was bent on disturbing his sleep that very early in the morning.As soon as he got a hold of his phone, he hissed and rolled his eyes upon realising that it was just his alarm.A few days before Anna rescued him from being crippled by Richard’s bodyguards, his routine for the past few years had required him to wake up very early in the mornings for deliveries.He took up the mid-morning shift and the day shift at the delivery services due to the fact that he was desperate to make ends meet.He dismissed the alarm and sat up, realising that he couldn't fall asleep anymore.“Man, this delivery job has really messed up my sleeping routine” He thought to himself as he scratched the back of his head, yawning with his mouth wide open.Now that he was fully awake and he
This brought her back to her senses upon realising that it was her phone’s ringtone.As she picked up her phone while staring at the screen, the look on her face suddenly changed into a serious one.Before picking the call, she composed himself and cleared her throat.“Good morn…. There's absolutely nothing good about the morning, keep that to yourself because you're fired!”Ms. Jefferson froze with her eyes widened in shock as she began to sweat profusely in the air condition filled room.Immediately she realised what she had done to herself, she was so furious that she had stabbed herself with her own knife as all her actions backfired.Without thinking twice, she got down on both knees and began pleading with Vincent, not minding her ego or her reputation if anyone were to mistakenly walk in.After she had genuinely apologised and pleaded for a while, he took pity on her and placed a call across to the boss asking him to give her back her job.She eventually retrieved her job but s
"Vincent" The voice called out as he slowly turned back thinking of where he might have heard this voice before.Upon realising who it turned out to be, Vincent’s face suddenly became puzzled with surprise.“Jane, what are you doing here?” Vincent asked, still seeming surprised at their coincidental meeting.“Nothing much, I came to have coffee at my favourite place” Looking away in the direction of The Coffee House right across the street Jane responded trying to avoid gazing off into his eyes.Jane’s mother had always wanted her and Vincent to be together because of the grand life she had imagined for her daughter.In the past, Jane didn’t seem to notice anything intriguing or fascinating about him but she didn’t complain either because all her life she had only ever been taught to follow her mothers others. She was made to believe that her mother knew what was best for her; maybe she actually did this time.Over the past few days she realised that she had slowly started to fall for
“Hey man, come on in'' Richard said to Alex as he gave him a one sided bro hug and locked the door behind them.“What took you forever to answer the door '' Alex hissed with his brows knitted in anger.“I was having a really good time” Turning around with the glass of wine in his right hand, Richard replied smiling devilishly.Alex immediately understood the message that Richard was trying to convey as he was putting on nothing but a bathrobe. He definitely had someone entertaining him in his room.“What's up? Why the sour look on your face?” Richard asked as he dropped his glass of wine on the table and sat on the chair opposite Alex.Alex heaved a heavy sigh of frustration before he replied “The worst has happened!”Hearing that, Richard’s face twisted with confusion written all over it as both his brows knitted into a curious frown while he unconsciously leaned forward towards Alex.Alex went ahead to narrate every single thing that had transpired in detail. From Vincebt’s disrespec
“Why did you let that Bastard get away, am I not paying you more than enough?” They shifted feeling so uneasy as they tried to prevent his gaze He thundered at the leader, as the rest of the gang had their heads hanging low, with their eyes fixed to the ground. Richard’s blood boiled hard as he confronted the gang with so much fury in his voice. He stood right in front of them with bloodshot eyes, demanding answers as to how the mission failed “I didn’t ask for too much, how could you all fail such a simple tasK”.He said loudly as he squeezed his palms into tight fists.“Answer me!” Richard yelled knowing fully well that the consequences of their failure to successfully implement their initial plan could land them in real trouble.He finally dismissed them after instructing them to lay low for a while in order to avoid being tracked or monitored, he knew fully well that Vincent would stop at nothing until all evidence eventually led to him.A shiver ran down his spine while he lis
“Hello” Vincent said immediately the person picked the call.“Mr. Vincenzo, what a pleasant surprise” The man on the other end answered with hints of cheer in his voice.“I suppose” Vincent replied “I really need your help” “What seems to be disturbing you?” The man asked.“It’s something I would like to discuss in person,” Vincent replied with desperation in his voice.“Okay, come by my place at 5:30 on Friday”Vincent agreed before he cut the call.The next day was a Friday and the last working day of the week.Lectures ended earlier on fridays and the lecturers didn’t do much either.As soon as the day’s lectures came to an end, Vincent hopped into his car and drove off to meet the man he had agreed to meet with the previous day.When he got to his destination, he was met with a giant building almost as big and tall as his. When Vincent arrived at Mr. Issac’s mansion, the gatekeeper instantly opened the big gates for his car to dive in. He had been informed beforehand about the a
Ms. Anna wanted to ask him what he wanted to do with a sub-company when she remembered that she was only supposed to follow instructions and not ask stupid questions.Richard didn't know what was coming at him and he definitely wasn't prepared for it.Vincent ran some investigations on Richard's company, making some enquiries to find out their weaknesses, any setbacks they were experiencing and recognise any loopholes that had .Back at school, an all white Range Rover pulled into the parking space.Richard alighted from his car and shut the door hard stepping out with a tight frown that spread across his entire face.With his car keys in his left hand, he squeezed his right palm into a tight fist and launched a punch into the air "Dammit" clenching his teeth, he muttered under his breath.Richard had a habit of expressing rage whenever little things didn't seem to be going his way.He took his bag from the car and hung it on his right shoulder, putting his car keys in his pocket bef
The rest of the board members finally started to come downstairs after a long chatter.To avoid any form of contact with anyone else, Richard walked straight out of the building into his car and drove off straight to his Father’s place.He angrily muttered words to himself as he approached the mighty gate that fenced the white coloured mansion.He honked twice before a gatekeeper opened the gate for him as he drove through.He stormed into the house ignoring the greetings of the domestic workers.“Dad! Dad! Dad!” Richard called out as he searched from room to room before one of the domestic workers walked in and told him that his father was in the garden.“Why didn't you say so before? '' Richard turned to her as he spoke harshly with a raised voice.She rolled her eyes when she turned back to walk away.The domestic workers in his fathers house were already used to his attitude by now. Richard was rude and very demanding. He had no iota of respect for anybody that seemed lower than h
