Nick was pacing up and down the hospital lobby, the doctors were battling to save Kathlyn’s life but he didn’t want to lie to himself. She may not make it, the accident was pretty bad.The sounds of heels and shoes made him to raise his head and he saw his supposed family walking towards him while the reporters kept flocking around them and clicking pictures.“A word sir” one of the reporters begged and that was when Gregory stopped but he didn’t say anything.“Don’t you have any shame left?” Nessa retorted, “how do you expect him to talk when his daughter in law is lying critically on the hospital bed and fighting for herself?we all should be praying for her and not you looking for news to scoop” by now tears of pretense were already falling down her face and she was trying very hard to her face to be captured by the camera.Gregory finally cleared his throat and everyone kept quiet, “it is indeed sad that my own family was attacked in this city, I will not let the culprit go, I must
Gregory was making his way down the stairs slowly when the “ding dong” of the door sounded in his ears, one of the helpers in his house quickly ran towards the door to open it. She was shocked when she saw a group of police officers standing outside the door.“How may we help you” the helper asked, this was the first time she was seeing the cops come to the house in the ten years that she has worked for the family.“We are here to see Mr Gregory,” the one who looked like the leader of the team said.“Who is that?”Gregory asked from behind hrr.“Some police officers”“Let them in” he immediately beamed and she opened the door wider for Them to enter.“Hello sir”“Please make yourselves comfortable, I wasn’t expecting you”His wife and kids came over to the parlor and Nessa’s heart skipped a beat when she saw them.“We just came to ask a few questions about your daughter in law’s case, our station was given the jurisdiction to handle it”That was when it dawned on Gregory, these people
The funeral hall was already filled up and everyone was sitting quietly, Emilia was shedding a lot of tears and Nessa was not left out. Only the men had composure on themselves but Gregory was nowhere to be found, he was already on his way to the Philippines.Chris was sitting downcastly near his wife’s casket and Kira was a few feet away from him, she wasn’t crying but to an extent she understood what was happening around her.“Dad, why is mummy in that?” She asked childishly after a while.Chris gestured for her to come over and she crawled towards her dad.“Mummy has gone to heaven and she will be watching us from afar”“Why? She told me she would be back to tuck me into bed so why is she not doing that?she is the one sleeping though”He still wanted to talk when a loud commotion started outside, lifting their heads they saw kathlyn’s parents walking into the funeral home, her mother was crying profusely and her dad was dried eyed but his eyes looked red, obviously from crying too
A black Audi R8 was already parked at the airport awaiting Gregory and immediately he alighted from his private plane, he entered the car and they immediately took off.A group of two bodyguards were with him and another convoy was behind him, all of them had one motive. To keep him safe.After about thirty minutes, the cat drove into a semi spacious compound and it came to a halt in front of the water fountain and after a few seconds, Gregory alighted.“How many years has it been?” He muttered to himself as his eyes drank in the sight of the house, the last time he set his eyes on this house was twelve years ago. The day that Natalia, Nick’s sister was raped and killed. It was in this same house that he was standing in right now.“We should go in now boss” one of the guards whispered to him and he nodded before taking dignified steps towards the house with the aid of his walking stick.The exterior of the house was nothing compared to the inside. The house looked small from the outs
“Welcome master,welcome madam” the maids all bowed in respect as the Wealth couple entered the house, two strangers were following them and they looked like perfect elite people.“Prepare two rooms for our guests”Mrs Wealth said in a sad tone but April was quick to decline.“We have booked return tickets maam, we won’t be staying the night”“At least join us for a meal” Her husband added and Nick finally nodded.“Prepare something light” she ordered to the servants and they nodded before setting to work while her husband gestured Nick and April to the sofa.“I will be right back” Rosa said and slowly made her way upstairs, she had to check if the diary was in the box.……Once Rosa was inside her room, she went to her wardrobe and threw it open. A silver looking box was sitting inside beautifully and she gently carried it and walked back to the bed.As she sat on the bed, she threw the box open and a lot of books were inside. Slowly she began to take them out and finally her eyes caugh
TWELVE YEARS AGOMARCH 15th, 2010Natalia was walking down the hallway to the cafeteria of her college when her classroom teacher announced for her to come to the staff room through the large microphone in the hall.“What does that weirdo want now?”she muttered under her breath as she changed her direction to the staff room. She hated her school and everyone in it.“Good evening Mrs Benson” she greeted as she entered the room and her eyes darkened as she saw who was seated on the chair opposite the teacher…Chris.He looked handsome and alluring in his black leather jacket and his hair was styled perfectly giving him an aura of a playboy and that smile on his face, how she hated it.“Chris has come to pick you for a party and he will bring you back to the dorm when you are done,'' Mrs Benson said, giving a fake smile.Natilia glared at Chris before turning back to her teacher, her face creasing into a frown.“You can’t just make that decision for me Mrs Benson, I am busy and I do not w
In less than twenty minutes, Nessa was already there and Chris was just sitting on the bonnet of his car with a cigarette in between his lips.“You came faster than I thought” he said the moment he saw his sister, she had an angry look on her face but he didn’t care less.“Where is Natalia?” Nessa asked immediately, not bothering to caution him.“Back seat”She rushed there and threw the door open and true to his words, Natalia was at the back of the car and she was lying in the pool of her own blood.“What the fuck did you do Chris?”Neasa bellowed as she threw the car door open and stormed towards her brother.“This is not the time to yell at me Ness, I just need your help and not for you to give me lectures. What should we do?I don’t want dad to find out exactly what happened”“You can’t hide this without father finding out”“Then come up with a plan” he half yelled.He was four years older than her but she was the smart one and always helped him to clear his mess.Scratching the bac
Present day.As soon as Nick's plane landed, he ordered the driver to take him straight to the Furgesson mansion but April kicked against it, to her it was not a good idea not when he was in a bad mood.“Look Nick, you can’t do that now. You are not even in the right frame of mind”“What do you mean April?”he half yelled, “that bastard killed my sister and I can’t sit on my hands, should I?” He was visibly frustrated, “that bastard raped my sister to death and had my memories erased, I can’t forgive him even if the heavens is let loose“No Nick, tnst is not what I mean. Going to his house and confronting him won’t change the fact that he did that terrible thing to Natalia, you just have to get back at him in a much more hurtful manner. The one he would not be able to recover from”Over the years, if there was anything he had learned was the fact that he had to listen to his wife, she was a good Judge of character and could decipher things.“Okay” he finally answered after a while and s
Amidst the cries and pleas of the people inside the room, Xavier went ahead to throw the gas around while having an awkward look on his face.He was also scared, for a man like Nick to pull up this kind of stunt In the prison it meant he had a lot of grounds.“How could you betray me like this?” Alvanon growled at Xavier who gave a fake smile.“Always join the winning team sir”After he was done, the three of them were soiled in the liquid gas and tears were still streaming down their eyes.Gregory was begging but all his pleas fell on deaf ears as Nick dragged him out of the room and the iron bars were locked after Xavier.“Don’t do this wickedness nick” he begged and fell on his knees, “please for the last time”Nick’s lips curved into an emotionless smile, “you should say your goodbyes father”After talking he brought out a lighter from his pants pocket and flicked the light on while twirling it in his hands.“Are you really going to burn them alive?” Xavier had to ask.“I am not d
“Hello sir” the police chief greeted as Nick sauntered into the office, “i just finished talking with the president and he says his speech is scheduled for 12 noon tomorrow”Nick lowered himself on the chair opposite him, “then I have only today then”“What do you mean?” The man was confused.“Have you ever come across a case of arson?” His eyes were glued to the man as he asked, he was studying the man intently.“We deal with the case of arson almost every year sir, I think people who are involved in such acts are psychopaths” he cringed as he talked which made Nick smirk amidst his anger.Then he leaned forward, “what if I tell you I am about to commit such a crime?”The chief’s face went from normal to horror, “what?”Why was this man weird? Not only did he bring himself to prison willingly, he was announcing the crime he wanted to commit? Wasn’t he even scared of the law even in the slightest?“See” Nick paused for a second before he continued, “I will let you in on the main reaso
Nick kept pacing up and down the clinic area, he was literally panicking about Caesar's life. He promised Fedora he was going to bring him home and now?How would he face his sister if anything happened to the man she loved?A lot was going on in his mind when the door opened and the doctors walked out of the room, the look on their faces said otherwise and Nick found himself giving a silent prayer in his mind. Why the hell was he always in this kind of situation? The other time it was his wife and now ceaser? Would fedora be able to bear it if anything happens to him?“How is he, doctor?” Nick immediately asked, “is he okay?”Even as he was asking, he was already dreading their answer.“I’m sorry, we lost him”His world paused for a split second, his mind was unable to comprehend what the doctor just said. Lost him? Like Caesar was dead or what the hell did he mean?“I don’t understand you doctor”“The knife penetrated his abdominal wall to a great extent which affected some major pa
“I need your help” Emilia told the female guard that was stationed outside the clinical center, her face was no longer swollen But traces of the stings were visible.“What do you want?” The woman asked in an uninterested tone. She looked like she was tired of her job by the way.Emilia who read right through her smiled at the thought of how desperate she would be to get a few thousand dollars.“I just want you to help me get some cans of chlorine trifluoride and I promise to pay you really well”The guards lips went from pursed to an “o”“”Are you kidding me right now?”“I mean, you could save your son if you do that, i overhead you on the phone”The woman became speechless, it was true. Her son was dying of cancer and she has not been able to find his hospital bills. Working as a guard in the female prison didn’t give her the kind of money she needed for her son’s chemotherapy.“I just need you to help me get the cans and I will pay you handsomely, what do you think?” The smirk playi
“You…you were standing outside?” The look of horror on Emilia’s face was priceless. All the color from her face had been drained away and she looked as white as a sheet.Nick had never been so happy to be in a place he was not invited, he wouldn’t have known of their plans.“Don’t you understand the logic behind privacy?” Nessa fumed.He gave a smirk before lowering himself on the chair in front of them, Nick folded his hands across his chest and leaned backwards.“So you still have the audacity to think of escaping this place?” He asked and paused. The mother and daughter looked scared but were trying to mask it up.“Don’t tell me you think I will allow myself to die in this hell hole nick, I mean I still have to get back at you for the bees” her hands flew to caress her swollen face as she talked. This was the highest point of embarrassment and she was not going to forget it. Damaging her face was as good as killing her.“You shouldn’t have come here nick” it was Nessa who spoke, “d
After April dropped the call, she closed her eyes for a good thirty seconds before opening them again. Nick begged her to forgive Fedora and she couldn’t say no. Everyone had their flaws and Dora had already learnt her lesson.She was still in that reverie of thought when her door pushed open and the tall frame of her father entered.“Dad” her lips curved up into a happy smile, she was glad that, that bullet didn’t claim her life. Her father would have missed her so bad.“Princess” he drew her to a hug again, Fray had never been so happy to see his daughter, “how are you feeling now?” He sat beside her as he asked.“Am better”He noticed the sad look in her eyes and his heart broke. She was the only person he had after he lost his wife and seeing her on the hospital bed was too much for him to bear.“I am really glad you are alive pumpkin, what would I have done?” His eyes turned misty, “I was almost losing my mind when you couldn’t speak or do anything. Just lying down and fighting f
“Ahhhhhhh” a loud scream escaped her mouth as Emilia jumped to her feet after seeing the scorpion. Her heart jumped into her mouth, the look on her face was enough to send anyone rolling on the ground in laughter…horrifying.“Why are you shouting?” Nick asked with a smirk on his face.“A scorpion” she answered, her voice quivering with fear and Nick had the inkling to laugh out loud.“You should kill it”“I don’t know how too”He shook his head, “To bad then”Emilia watched as the scorpion began to advance towards her and she almost peed herself. Out of fear she smashed her shoe against it body and the whole thing scattered around, that was when she heaved a sigh.“Good job” she heard Nick say to her, then reality dawned on her.“Did you bring that here?”Nick smirked as he stood up, “who knows what you may see here in my absence? I heard the black mamba is the worst of all snakes”After talking he didn’t even wait for her response and walked out.Emilia just stood there listening unt
Emilia stopped dead in her tracks when she came face to face with Nick who just entered the female sports area in prison. Not like he had anything to do there, he just wanted to show himself to Emilia and let her know that the boss was also here. His lips curved up into a big smile when he saw the look of horror in her eyes, even Nessa looked like she just saw a ghost.“You are really out to give them all a heart attack right?” Caesar asked behind him and Nick couldn’t stop himself from smiling in ecstasy. Nothing was much better than seeing your enemy hovering all over you even in your sleep.“Don’t forget the experience you will get here ceaser, it will keep you entertained for life”The two of them walked over to an empty space and sat down, Nick’s eyes not leaving the mother and daughter duo. He could clearly see the mother and daughter duo converse among themselves and they looked as white as sheets.“The chief told me you will be training with the ladies today?” The scar faced j
It was a busy Saturday, everyone was having their lunch in the dining room when the huge doors creaked open and a tall dominating figure entered in all his might and poise. The whole hall became quiet as a graveyard when all eyes fell on him. Was he really here? What the hell was he doing here and he was also dressed in a pair of prison uniform, what crime did the number one businessman in London commit?Well, that was Nick furgesson and he was live in prison.The smirk on his lips didn’t go unnoticed by people but the moment his eyes fell on a particular person, the smile on his lips disappeared and in its stead was a deadly look.Alvanon almost peed his pants when he saw Nick in the prison. What the hell was he doing here? How did he even get into this prison and that too so secretly? It was not announced that he had done something and he was to be taken to prison. When was he even tried?All these thoughts were running through his mind when Nick walked past him and went to sit with
