“Now, that's my babygirl. That's my Ocean.” Romero beamed as he sat up on the hospital bed.He watched with amusement as both his little wife's step mother and step brother knelt and cried at her feet … His wife had always wanted that and damn! He was more than happy to help her with it.“My sexy, brilliant, little CEO.” He said with so much pride as he paused the video and zoomed in on his wife.This was definitely not the same woman he had a one night stand with … the woman from before was heartbroken and sad but the one he was staring at now, is a strong, courageous and determined beautiful woman…. And the fun part … she belonged to him.His smile widened into a grin.His phone rang disrupting his thoughts, Romero fished out his phone, on seeing the ID, he rolled his eyes before swiping the answer icon.Red's smiling face filled the screen, making Romero give the other man a pointed look.“Definitely not a face I want to see.” Romero hissed.Red smirked. “Sure. I know you miss me.
*Flashes.**Aliyah was about to dial Juliet's number to ask if they would be going home together, because it was time to go home.“Well, she is with her Charming.” Aliyah smiled remembering that Juliet would be with Red, she took out her phone, ready to dial Juliet's number when Wilson's call came in.“Yes, Wilson.” Aliyah answered as she picked the call, she picked her bag from the table and was walking out of the class.“Madam,” Wilson called, his voice sounded down, very unhappy. “Boss has been shot.”Aliyah paused in her tracks. “What?!” She yelled, her bag falling from her hands, everything around her stilled.“Yes ma'am.” Wilson replied, “I have told your driver, he will bring you here right away.”Before she could say a word, the call ended.“Damn! It seems she had gotten the news.” “Romero was shot.”“It was an assassination attack.”“He must be in a critical condition.”Students had gathered behind Aliyah, their comments kept flying around, Aliyah's eyes brimmed with hot te
“That's nonsense!” Madam Priscilla yelled, shaking her head vigorously. “How dare you raise such an allegation?!”Aliyah's lips curved out in a mischievous smile, she clicked a video and it started playing…*The Video*“May I ask why you are here and do you also know what goes on here?” A voice asked the figure standing before a wall in an empty room.The figure turned to reveal Daniel Malvern who stared around at the empty but tidy and neat room, he looked around and then his eyes landed on the camera facing him.Daniel wanted to turn his face away but the voice halted him.“Do not turn your face away or you will leave.”Daniel turned his gaze back to the camera and nodded.“Now answer my questions.”“I am in the dark space and I want to hire an assassin.” He said his eyes were not waiving from the camera.“Can you pay?” The voice asked.Daniel nodded, “I can. In fact I came prepared.”The voice went silent for a bit, “You already have the money here?” The voice asked in surprise … i
*Flash Back*“What do you mean you haven't been able to trace the bastard sending me threatening messages?!” Romero thundered, throwing up the pile of papers on his table.Roscoe and Wilson shivered with fear, they and the other men took several steps back creating enough distance between them and the billionaire who was obviously enraged.“Wilson,” He called, his frown deepened, “Do you mean that this bastard sending me threat messages is more dangerous than I am? Do you mean this bastard is invisible? More powerful than I am? Who is the fucking person?!”One thing the men knew about their boss was that Romero Kingsley would never agree anyone was more dangerous than he was because in the actual sense no one was… even rulers, presidents and powerful men knee and bow before him, he is the devil himself.Romero stood to his feet, “Who the fuck is this bastard?” He said more to himself than to his men.He has been getting the threat messages but it didn't seem to bother him until the me
Madam Priscilla was about to push the door open so she and her son could quickly flee the room but the attention of everyone was already drawn towards them.Two policemen were already standing behind them immediately Aliyah said those words. Both mother and son were then brought to the front.There was silence for a few minutes.Madam Priscilla stared at Aliyah and for once she saw what her son was talking about …. She had underestimated the brat! Aliyah had come prepared.Madam Priscilla's heart began pounding with fear. ‘What has her step daughter planned out?’ She thought, her fear increasing by each heartbeat.Aliyah smirked and flipped her hair in pride, as if telling them that …. I am very prepared.“So,” Number seven started, breaking the silence, “Madam Priscilla and Daniel Malvern, the allegations raised against you are alarming. Are you guilty of these allegations?” He asked with a frown.Aliyah almost laughed out … because it was obvious that panelist number seven was tryi
“Let the trial begin.” One of the seven men panel announced loudly.At his words, people repositioned their cameras ready to capture every moment.Aliyah was seated, facing the elevated podium where the panelists sat, her side view was facing all other people present. She took her time to look at one panelist from the other.True, she didn't know most of them, the only person she knew was Sir Andrew, who presently was giving her a small smile, his smile telling her that she got this, she returned his smile with a smile too.Most of them stared at her with blank expressions, some stared at her with an expression that told her her fate had already been decided.Aliyah smiled all the more … this would certainly be interesting!“Over to you Mrs Aliyah Malvern Kingsley, are you guilty of the offence set before you?” One of the men asked, his number was the number one on the panel.Aliyah pulled her mic forward, “May I know the offence?" She asked, her gaze landed on her stepmother who smir
