CHAPTER ELEVEN.Coco's face darkened. Her eyes were full of wonder as she stared at Mrs. Kaave. She remembered how she had planned with Donda to set Mrs. Kaave up and throw her in prison. There was long silence before Mrs. Kaave raised her head and looked at Coco and said , "You heard the board members and Chief's lawyer. Prior to his arrest, Chief made me the managing director of the empire. You were relieved of your duties. Therefore, your presence in this empire is illegal." "I still own twenty percent of the shares in this empire, you own only five percent. I still have a place here." Coco snapped at Mrs. Kaave.Mrs. Kaave shook her head. "No. I now own eighty percent of the shares. Chief gave me all seventy of his, Mr. Ken sold his five percent to me, plus my five percent, equal to eighty." When Coco heard that, chills started to chase across her skin. Lies! Fucking lies! Her dad would never do that. She knew the things her dad was capable of doing, and this, was not part of
CHAPTER TWELVE.Carey was watching a reality show on TV, in the large living room when her father walked in. Brandy was busy on her MacBook, on a video call with Coco Kaave. Mr. Peter stood still on his arrival, he calmly closed the door and fixed his eyes on Brandy. He carefully used his eyes to scan Brandy from hair to toe. She didn't look bad. She looked just fine. "Welcome dad." Carey said without removing her eyes from the television. "Hi. Hope you had a good day?" Mr. Peter wasn't sure how to feel or react. Brandy, the black sheep that always put dirt on the family name was back in the house."Hi dad. Welcome back." Brandy smiled at her father and stood to welcome him. Neither her or Coco Kaave ended the video call. Pearl didn't even let Mr. Peter respond to Brandy's greetings before she stormed into the living room. "Dad, tell her she can't stay here. She needs to leave." Bitterness was all over Pearl's face."Pearl, calm down. She's still your sister." Mr. Peter firmly sa
CHAPTER THIRTEEN."If you didn't kill him then who did?!" Detective Flynn hit his fingers across the table in anger. The blond teenager was trembling in fear. "Sir I swear to you on my life I did not kill anyone. I was only with him at the hotel, because last night, he invited me to come spend a night with him." Georgiana managed to say, in a regretful tone. Georgiana, a fresher at South College, was arrested mid night for the murder of Justice William; the Chief Justice handling Coco Kaave's case. Georgiana buried her mind and thoughts in regrets as she sat in the interrogating room. She had been there since mid night, questioned and tortured by the FBI. She wished she stayed home last night in her hostel. But what choice did she have? Justice William offered to pay her five hundred dollars for the night. Five hundred dollars was a lot of money to her. It could pay for her dying mother's surgery at the hospital. She tried to justify her actions."You're a sex worker?" Detective
CHAPTER FOURTEEN.Ding!The message alert sounded.(Call me ASAP.)Detective Flynn rubbed his dizzy eyes, and read the message. He had dozed off in his car after eating his pepperoni pizza. He read the message again, sighed and focused his eyes in front of Mr. Peter's house. After what seemed like forever, Carey finally stepped out of the house, in blue tight jeans and crop top. From the way she locked the door, Detective Flynn knew she was hastening. Detective Flynn drove up the street slowly, following each direction Carey took. He finally stopped and parked in front of a grocery store Carey entered. He came down and leaned on his car, holding a bottle of water in his right hands, he played with, to kill time. Carey didn't spend time in the grocery store. She came out almost immediately, with a deep frown on her face. "Carey!" Detective Flynn called out and waved. "Hi.." He wore his best smile. Carey reluctantly walked to Detective Flynn, "Hi..Flynn, right?" She managed a smile
CHAPTER FIFTEEN. "Delma!" Inna called out in fear and raced to Chief Onapuruagu's living room. Inna stared hard at Delma for a moment, before she spoke. Delma was perfectly fine. Nothing seemed wrong with her. She didn't look hurt. She rather looked happy."Delma, why did you scream like that? You gave me serious fright, I thought something bad was happening to you." Inna said.Delma laughed, "The only person something bad is happening to right now is your Coco. I just got off the phone with Chief Onapuruagu, and he instructed that no one should let Coco inside this house, incase she comes around. Same thing with his office." Delma continued laughing. "I'm so enjoying this moment.""Enjoy while you can, it won't last. And Chief Onapuruagu reacting like this only proves that he truly really loves Coco. He's hurt by her actions, and all these is obviously coming from a place of genuine love." Inna argued."Stop trying to console yourself with those words. Chief Onapuruagu is done with
CHAPTER SIXTEEN."You're right. It is indeed a treasure." Chief Kaave's voice echoed in the room. Both Coco and Pearl screamed in fear, clinging to each other. Pearl had already pooped in her pants. "Dad..is that you dad?" Coco asked, searching the room to see if at all her dad or anyone was there. She called out again, "Dad!" "You don't have to steal the lighter. It's yours." Chief Kaave's voice came again. "You also didn't need to steal the keys to this building. I was fixing the place for you, to spend this year's Halloween, with your friends." "Come out dad. Stop playing with me." Coco's voice suddenly became confident."Make sure you're back to school by tomorrow." Those were the last words Chief Kaave said, and the teenage girls didn't hear from him again. Pearl spent the whole of that night in fear. With the mindset that they were being monitored in the house, the two girls were on their best behavior that night. Early Monday morning, they returned back to school. No one, e
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN. Detective Flynn and his team, escorted by Delma, stepped out of Chief Onapuruagu's house and walked towards his direction. He was sitted in his garden, smoking cigarettes. His head was filled with thoughts of Coco. Was Coco Kaave truly missing, or, was this one of her numerous games? He concluded, she had fled the city to avoid prosecution. Chief Onapuruagu looked at Detective Flynn and smiled at his foolishness. He was wasting his time searching his house for Coco. Even if he was working with Coco, using his house as her hideout was a very dumb thing, he, Chief Onapuruagu would never do."Incase you see or hear anything about Coco Kaave, please do report to me." Detective Flynn said when he finally reached Chief Onapuruagu's garden. "Emphasis on 'report to me'..huh?" Chief Onapuruagu looked at Detective Flynn with a challenge in his eyes. "Thank you for your time Chief Onapuruagu. Sorry for the inconveniences." Detective Flynn responded. He was in no mood for s
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN. "I'm on it sir. We are doing our best." Detective Flynn said and saluted his boss, Sir Edwin on arrival to Sir Edwin's office. "That's all I've been hearing all week. I want results Flynn. Results!" Sir Edwin looked up from his desk and snapped at Detective Flynn. "Sir, I am hundred percent sure she's hiding somewhere out there from the police and FBI. She is not missing or kidnapped." Detective Flynn replied."I know she has a murder case in court, but still, we cannot turn a blind eye to the fact that she is missing. Guilty or not, find her Flynn." Sir Edwin removed his eyeglass and dropped on his desk. "I left her under your care. You said you had your men following her everywhere, and now you can't find someone you've been following? This doesn't make sense Flynn.""I'm very sorry sir, but I'm on it." Detective Flynn tried to defend himself. "Damn those words! Don't let me rule a line through your name, rather than under." Sir Edwin threatened. "One week. I
