The moment the jail door closed behind them, Emilia burst into tears. Tears more painful than the one she was shedding in the courtroom. The pain of losing to Nick made her feel less of herself. The way she was betrayed by even her lawyer made her so mad.“This is the height of betrayal” Gregory muttered to himself as he lowered himself on the tiny bed. Just a few days and he looked like a shadow of his former self. The man who used to command respect now looked so weak and frail, even the eye bags under his eye made him look very terrible.Finally they were both eating the fruit of this labor and it was a hard bitter one at that.“Greg” Emilia rushed towards him, “we have to do something,anything at all to get out of this hellhole. We can’t stay here forever” she sounded so desperate but Gregroy was not listening to her, he was also lost in his own world. The world he failed to protect.“Gregory” his wife prodded him again and he immediately jolted back to reality, “are you even list
Damian was just about to enter his car when a black cloth came over his face and he was bundled away, his passport and flight ticket lay bare on the ground.He kept struggling as the car drove away but even at that, he couldn’t outsmart his abductors and in the end, a gun to the head and he lost consciousness.A bucket of cold water was thrown all over his body and Damian Wang immediately regained consciousness to find himself strapped to a chair with ropes. Looking around, the room was filled with some rough looking men and In front of him was a woman seated…..Nessa?“It’s good to have you back attorney wang, I didn’t think you would wake up seeing the way blood was sipping out of the wound on your head.“What did you do?” Damian hissed. He knew the furgessons would come for revenge but he didn’t know it would be so soon, he was supposed to be on the flight to the Bahamas by now, “I didn’t know you were more crazy than your brother” he added.A slap turned his face away instantly, “ a
“What?” Damian Wang could not believe his ears. Alvanon wanted him to sue Nick for bribery and forgery?But how could he do that?“You heard me right, attorney. The day you decided to work for Nick, you became an accomplice in his scheme and you will be the one to bring him down for me”“You know that’s almost impossible right?how can I do that?”Alvanon flared up, “no one is asking you to do that attorney. It is an order and you will do that and it’s final. If you had the guts to go against one furgesson then you have the guts to go against the other, do you hear me?” He had the inkling to smash something into his head but he refrained himself, “you should start thinking of a way out already, I don’t have all the time in the world for your nonsense”Damian finally understood that this was one insane family and he was already regretting getting linked with them, if only he knew from the get go he would have refused Nick.“You should do what you are told if you don’t want your family to
It was another morning and Caesar, who was just coming out of the police station after recording his statement, walked over to his car, the minute he opened the door a loud bang was heard and he fell down in the pool of his own blood.Everyone became alarmed, while a group of police officers tried looking for where the gunshot came from; others tried getting him to the hospital.By the time the ambulance reached the hospital, he had already lost a lot of blood and the doctors immediately set to work.………….Nick who just came downstairs from his room put on the television to watch the business news but an important breaking news came on the screen.“Breaking news” a female reporter announced, “just outside the police station about an hour ago, the victim which has been identified to be ceaser Ramirez. One of the key persons in the case of Gregory furgesson was gunned down by an unidentified person and he was rushed to the hospital “Nick immediately shot out of the chair and he immed
“Sir, a document just arrived for you” Ashley handed him the envelope and left while Nick opened it.It was a piece of the court papers that Damian had prepared and yet to be submitted in court.“Hmm” he wasn’t in the least surprised, he just kept smirking as he read through it.“What is that?” April asked when she entered the living room and saw her husband reading something with keen interest.“Proposed court documents” Nick replied casually, his eyes still skimming through the papers.April sat beside him and also ran her eyes through the papers, then a grim look appeared on her face. Was Damian biting them in the back now?“Is that Damian a betrayal?” She couldn’t help but ask.“Of court we know who did this April, Alvanon must have gotten his hands on him”Then it dawned on her,it was only Alvanon who was brave enough to do something so stupid.“It seems that brother of yours needs to be taught a lesson and a good one at that” she rolled her eyes as she spoke. To her he was a spe
Caesar slowly opened his eyes and everywhere was dark, maybe the nurses switched off the light when they administered his medication.“You are finally awake?” A cold voice asked from the dark and ceaser froze. He knew that voice anywhere and anytime.“What are you doing here Alvanon?” He asked after removing the oxygen mask from his mouth, “did you come to finish me off because I didn’t die when you shot me at the station?”Alvanon’s mischievous laughter echoed lightly in the room.“You are very smart, ceaser, I thought that you lost your senses for a while” he paused and went ahead to switch on the light, “Nick tried so hard to keep me out of this room but guess what?I have learnt to be smart just like him”Caesar studied him for a while, Alvanon was dressed all black and he had a mask covering his face. It seemed like he didn’t even care if someone entered the room. “If you are here to kill me then get it over with”Alvanon walked back to him and lowered himself gently on the chair
Nick was having a drink with his father in law on the porch, the two were having a heated argument about the ongoing football match and it seemed like fray’s team was winning which made Nick slightly sad but it was all for the game.“Will the two of you keep watching the game until tomorrow?” April asked walking out of the house, for hours they have been watching one game after another.“You can either watch or go away quietly” her father reprimanded lovingly and she rolled her eyes.Just as she wanted to move, her phone began to ring and as she saw her caller ID, her countenance changed but she quickly masked it up with a fake smile. Her husband was very keen on her and noticed everything but he didn’t say a word.“I will take this call” she said and briskly walked inside the house,“Why are you calling me?” April asked immediately she pressed the receive button, “I have told you to always text me”“Things have gone haywire April” A masculine voice said from the other end, “the crime
The ringing of the phone interrupted Emily , she was having some Fruits in the living room when the call came through the intercom.With her eyes still glued to the screen, she picked up the intercom.“Hello”“Prosecution office, I will like to speak to Mr Nick furgesson please” the feminine voice filtered into his ears.“You can talk to me, I will relay the message” his mum said in an authoritative voice.Just then Nick sauntered into the room, he was dressed in a pair of suit and he looked like he was in a hurry.“You have a call son”“From?”“Prosecution office” she handed him the intercom while Nick placed it on his ears.“Hello”“Mr Nick?” The female voice asked again.“Yes, tell me”“You have to be at the prosecution office, the prosecutor have a few questions for you and asked me to let you know”“Very well then, I will go there right away” he said and replaced the phone but the look on his face was deadly. It seemed like he underestimated Alvanon on this one.“What happened?”
