Soon the auction began and people began to bid. Nick was sitting quietly with his wife and he was not interested In any of the other stuff until the Aurora bracelet was wheeled into the room on a gold plated stand. Everyone marveled at it’s beautiful, it was a tiny bracelet but it spoke volume.“Is that the bracelet?” April asked him and he nodded without saying anything but from the corner of his eye, he could see she appreciated the masterpiece and his heart swelled in joy. She hardly wore jewelry but this one sure made her happy.“We will start the bidding of the Aurora jewelry from thirty million, '' the auctioneer announced.“A hundred million” a voice just said from the vip table and everyone turned to see Nick. They were not surprised, after all he was a money bag.“Isn’t that too much?” April whispered to him but he just smiled at her.“A hundred and twenty million” another said from the crowd”“Two hundred million,”Nick said again.Now everything was getting hyper. This zilli
When his car came to a halt in front of the courthouse, the reporters and the media rushed toward him to ask him some questions.Nick gently climbed out of the car with his bodyguards beside him.“Tell us sir, what should we expect from this case?” One of the reporters asked.“It is surprising that the same attorney who represented your parents in court would also sue you, did you perhaps have a squabble with him?” Another asked but Nick didn’t stop until he got to the stairs. There he saw Alvanon and Damian Wang standing.“It’s good to finally see you get released from captivity, attorney” Nick said to Damian, a smirk playing across the edge of his lips.Damian looked away without saying anything and the smile on Nick’s lips widened.“I don’t see your wife around” Alvanon said to Nick, “she is always with you and I thought she would be here with you since you got engaged yesterday” Alvanon’s voice was laced with a lot of mockery and disdain towards Nick.“I don’t have time to chit
Nick immediately dialed his mother’s number but it was not going through and this alarmed him the more, then he went ahead to call his dad. The latter answered after two rings.“Dad,” he called in an apprehensive tone.“Why do you sound so upset son?” His dad asked him.“Where is mum?”“Your mother just left for the mall,” he answered.“What mall? Did she go alone?”Nick was already getting all hyped up. If caesar didn’t send him that message then he would not have believed.“Yeah she went alone”Nick immediately disconnected the call before going briskly to his car.“To the mall” he ordered and Ashley nodded. Now it is a race between time.Just as his car zoomed out of the premises, his wife’s call entered his phone.“Nick, what happened?” She asked immediately, “I saw you leaving in a hurry”“If I don’t get to mum quickly she may be kidnapped again April” Nick answered, pain and sadness was evident in his voice. He just got his mum back and now he was about to lose her?April could
“Mum?” Nick called to be sure, his world almost came to a standstill when he heard that voice. The thought of losing his mother again made him feel so scared and angry but hearing her voice right now was like a bucket of chilled water was poured on him. He felt alive again.“Mum, where are you? I will come and get you now”“I am at home honey, just come soon”After Nick disconnected the call, he made it out of the mall in a half run and everyone was wondering who this man in a tailored made suit was all about.When he reached where his car was parked, he saw April coming in the opposite direction and she looked apprehensive too.“Did you find her?” She asked immediately when she got to where he was.“I just got a call from her and she is at home” Nick answered excitedly, “we should head home now”The two of them boarded the car and he zoomed out of the premises at a very high speed.………..The moment Emily saw her son, she pounced into his embrace. When Ceaser first told her that her l
Alvanon purposely ordered the doctors to discharge him, he knew what he was doing and he wanted to drag Nick’s mama through the mud.When the reporters saw him coming out of the hospital with the support of his sister, they immediately rushed towards him.“How do you feel now sir?” Some of them asked.“Why did Nick furgesson attack you?” Another asked.“Do you think he attacked you just to get back at you?”They were asking a lot of questions and deep in his heart he was happy, now he would make sure to tarnish Nick’s reputation to the point of no comeback.Alvanon stopped and cleared his throat,“Thank you all for wishing me a safe recovery, it is people like you who make the country a better place to live in” he smiled at the camera before talking again,“You know, for a man who’s ego has been hurt will do whatever it takes to get revenge on the person who he thinks hurt him. Nick attacked me for reasons best known to him but I don’t blame him. I am not pressing any charges against
“Dad” Nessa immediately screamed as tears began to roll down her eyes, she didn’t know what to do while Alvanon was just speechless. Not in his life did he expect something like this to happen.“We will take him to the medical center” one of the senior jailer said and his men set to work.“Keep us posted” Alvanon ordered before rushing out of the room, he just prayed his mum had not yet seen it.“Should we go to mum or Chris?” Nessa didn’t even know what to do.“I will go to the hospital, check up on mum”After talking he boarded his car and zoomed off. He would not believe anything unless he saw his brother with his own eyes.The moment he got to the hospital, a sea of reporters crowded around him wanting to ask him questions but he was not even in the mood. He just wanted to see his brother.“Excuse me, Chris furgesson” his voice was apprehensive as he asked one of the nurses he came across.“I will take you” her voice was laced with pain and sadness. She wasn’t particularly acquain
After Nick stepped out of the funeral home, he told Ashley to take his family home that he had something to do which he didn’t want to disclose to anyone.“Where are you going?” April asked him when the car was already gone.“Let’s pay Gregory a visit” Nick answered while opening the car door for her.“He came down with a heart attack, remember? Seeing you now may aggravate his condition”Nick gave a little smile, “I am not going to cause trouble for him. He already has enough for a day”She shrugged and boarded the car while he did the same and after a few seconds, the car sped out of the funeral home.The moment they got to the hospital, the police stationed outside his office gestured them inside.Gregory was laid on the bed and he was breathing with the help of an oxygen mask but his eyes were wide open.The moment the door pushed open, he slowly turned his gaze to the door and wasn’t particularly pleased to see Nick and his wife.With so much difficulty, he slowly removed his mas
April was just entering the house when her phone began to ring and seeing that it was work she wanted to answer the call but Nick interrupted her which was a little suspicious.“Can I borrow your phone for a sec?”April raised her eyebrows in confusion, “ I was about to answer a call and you didn’t let me” she sounded like she had been wronged.“Phone April” Nick casually collected the phone from her and walked out to the porch, he didn’t want her to even know that the crime bureau was already on her.When he was sure that she was out of earshot, he dialed the number again and after a while the lady from the other end answered.“Hello, Mrs April”“This is her husband,” Nick replied in an authoritative manner, “talk to me” he added.The woman from the other end sighed, she was always cautious around this man. He was sure a ruthless one,“The crime bureau is here for her?” She said after a while.“I will be there in five and don’t call my wife’s phone again, call me instead”After talki
