CHAPTER TWELVE
Suit and Tie; Nobody wore it better than Evan. Whenever he had a meeting, he ensured he always wore his best suits. He stood in front of the mirror and sighed heavily. The meeting with Mr. Jackson from Bank of Zambia was a very important one. He knew his mother had put a lot of faith in him. He smiled and said to himself, “I’m called Brains for a reason."
He left the house and drove to Bank of Zambia. As soon as he reached, he dialled Mr. Jackson's office number.
“Hello sir,” he said.
“Evan,” Mr. Jackson responded.
“I have arrived. Driving in right now.”
“Don’t.”
Evan got surprised.
“Why sir?”
“We are meeting at Cairo apartments. We’ll be having a brunch meeting. Meet us here at 11am.”
“We?”
“Yes Evan. You’ll find us. Don’t be late,” Mr. Jackson cut the call.
Evan wondered who

Kate prepared Kent’s favorite meal. Last time she talked to him, he was happy at the prospects of finding a great writer. She made sure that she had everything ready. After being satisfied with what she had done, she took a bath and wore her beloved dress which she knew Kent loved. She went back in the kitchen and checked on the food warmers as if someone had entered to steal the food. She sat on the dining chair while busy looking at her phone. She had texted him earlier on and he said he was in the neighbourhood but it had been thirty minutes already. Knowing Kent, he had a tendency of talking to people especially when he reached the neighbourhood. She didn’t want to call him. She told herself to be patient. They had the whole night together.With all the work Kate had done, she was very tired. She got her sweater and rested her head on the dining table and fell asleep. An hour later, she woke up to no sign of Kent in the house.“Babe!” She ca

“How long will he be in the coma?” Kate asked the doctor.“It depends on his progress and the nature of the injury. In your husband’s case, there is a swelling in his brain. If the swelling recedes, we will try to lighten up the coma to see if he can come back and see what his level of function is,” the doctor responded.“But according to your experience doc, how long can this take?”“It can be a day, a week or months. Let’s just have faith.”Kate despaired.“Don’t worry too much. We are doing our best,” the doctor said and excused himself.Kate went to where Ludo and her parents had sat. She told them everything the doctor had told her. Joe was optimistic that Kent would wake up in no time. Ludo was quiet and lost in her thoughts.“Young lady escort me outside,” Zamiwe told Ludo after carefully observing her.“Me?” Ludo looked

Kate was by her husband’s bedside. She had cried enough and was already feeling weak. She was glad he was still alive but not knowing when he would wake up broke her heart. She didn’t have much sleep, neither did she eat anything. Zamiwe came into the room and told her that there was a policeman looking for her. She declined saying she couldn’t talk to him or anyone else seeking information at the moment. “I told you everything. Just tell him what I said. There is nothing more,” Kate said exhausted. “Are you sure?” Zamiwe asked. “Yes.” “Ok.” “Thanks Zamiwe.” Kate knew Kent’s attack was no ordinary attack. Ever since he got Ludo’s manuscript, things had changed in their lives. Even though Kent didn’t tell her much, she noticed how nervous he had been. She was determined to get to the bottom of whatever was happening, but how? That remained her big, still unanswered question. She paced around the room while looking at the unconsc

Hunter knew all too well that every decision comes with its consequences. He made a deal with the Patels' to get rid of Ludo but he didn’t hold his end of the bargain. Despite this, Hunter was no man to be intimidated by the Patels. As a matter of fact, they were out of the picture for him because he had finally got what he sought after; the manuscript. As soon as he got home, he printed the whole manuscript out, took it with him into his carnage backyard and treated himself to some reading. He never remembered when he had read like that but he was determined to finish reading the whole story that very day.Dawn came. Hunter had just finished reading. His eyes were even more darker than ever. He threw the manuscript on the floor disappointedly. Apparently, he didn't find what he was looking for. One thing peculiar about the manuscript was that it talked more about everyone except the only person hunter was after; N

After Kate had successfully escaped from TRIPLE E group of companies, she went to the hospital and found Zamiwe tending to her husband. Looking at Kent laying unconsciously on the hospital bed ignited her anger again. She wanted to do something about what happened to him but thinking about the power and influence of the people she suspected, she couldn’t do anything on her own. “Hello Kate, we were worried about you,” Zamiwe said when she noticed Kate's presence. “Ludo came to your house twice and she didn’t find you. Is everything fine?” “Everything is fine, thank you. I had to go to school to apply for a leave,” Kate answered. “I have seen that I can’t manage working while my husband is here. I have to be here too.” Zamiwe was quiet. She felt for Kate. She even pitied her. She had thought she had bigger problems with her husband leaving her but Kate had even bigger problems than her right now. Not knowing when her husband would wake up from the coma was wor

A week and some days had passed since Ludo had communicated with Hunter. She had left him several voicemails but he didn’t call her back. She wanted to let him know about the progress she was making. She had become closer with Evan and he had started opening up to her about his family matters. The only worry she had was Erica and Ethan. Erica made it known that she was not a fan of her, and Ethan was mysterious as usual. Elise on the other hand had gotten busy taking care of the company and was hardly seen. Ludo even started taking care of Mr. Hamuumbu whenever she went to the house. On most occasions, with Elise's busy schedule, Mr. Hamuumbu was left alone. Elise didn’t like the idea of hiring anyone to take care of him, she preferred to do it alone but didn’t mind Ludo taking care of him. “Why are you smiling all by yourself?” Zamiwe asked Ludo while they were watching a movie. “Smiling?” Ludo asked. “Yes. You seem happy the past few days, wh

“What did you just do?” Hunter asked coming out of the flowers. “You killed your son!” he walked past Ethan’s body.“Hunter!” Ludo called to him.“Join us Hunter,” Mr. Hamuumbu pointed the gun at him.“Aren’t you supposed to be dead, Hunter?” Ludo asked with her breath quickening.Hunter walked to where Ludo was and stood looking at Mr. Hamuumbu with disgust written all over his face. He didn’t utter a word to Ludo nor look at her.“You never give up, do you?” Mr. Hamuumbu looked at Hunter. “I also thought you were dead. Ethan and his mother celebrated your alleged death.”“To kill me, you have to behead me, that’s when you can only be sure.” Hunter said angrily.“But those policemen found your body in the backyard,” Ludo said confused.“That wasn’t my body. That was your friend's, Mr.

Evan turned his head whilst on the floor and saw Hunter and Ludo. On the far left was Ludo’s mother tied up in a chair.“What are you doing here?” Evan aggressively stood up.Hunter stopped him. “I didn’t come here for you,” He said.“You killed my brother,” Evan said angrily.“Oh I see you have been told,” Hunter looked down on Ludo. “Unfortunate how lies spread.”“It’s not a lie, you are the only person I know capable of doing that, you killed Hilary too,” Evan yelled.“Her doing, not mine,” Hunter said.Evan stepped forward.“Don’t you dare,” Hunter furiously looked at him.Evan clenched his fists.Hunter noticed and said, “Constrain yourself otherwise you will get killed.”“Hunter, what do you want?” Ludo asked.“Remember our deal?” Hunter ask
