CHAPTER FORTY TWO. Jeremy raced to stop Coco from entering her Ferrari. He gently pulled her left hand. "Jeremy." Coco gave him a questioning look."I have new information." Jeremy explained. "Detective Flynn is not part of it." "How reliable is this source?" Coco asked with interest."Hundred percentage." Jeremy replied. "So he's off the list?" "Yes." "If I find out otherwise, you'll be joining the list." Coco threatened.Jeremy confidently nodded. "Yes ma'am." Coco entered her Ferrari and drove out in high speed. ***Coco entered the dark building. She turned on the lights, staring at Sir Edwin and Detective Lauren, both tied into a chair."Holla." Coco smiled mischievously.Detective Lauren struggled. "You will regret this." "Definitely." Coco agreed. "In my next world though, not this one." "Why?" Detective Lauren asked."It's not my fault you two lived your lives trespassing my territory however you liked and thinking you were untouchable." Coco said."Let us go." Sir Ed
CHAPTER FORTY ONE. "Well?" Detective Lauren demanded. "How did it go?""She is bent on giving me nothing." Georgiana said bitterly. "I'm I wrong to ask for what's rightly mine?" "No you're not." Detective Lauren answered."She was really angry. I think I'll just let it go and turn a blind eye to her greed, for now. I'll wait to see her excuse after my convocation." Georgiana said, sipping her drink. "Just like that?" Detective Lauren sounded disappointed. "Give it one last fight, I'm with you in this." Georgiana shaked her head. "No. I don't want Coco's trouble.""So you'll let her have everything, you'll become the loser?" Detective Lauren taunted. "Aren't you even Chief Kaave's first child?" "Coco is the legitimate one!" Georgiana fired. "The acknowledged one. The only one he knew, the only child of Chief Kaave that Dirty South and the world knows. What would you have me do?" "Fight!" Detective Lauren fired back. "Quit being a coward." "I am not." Georgiana said. "All I nee
CHAPTER FORTY."Don't be stupid." Delma scolded. "I thought you were smart, what kind of fool are you trying to be?" "A fool that wants a better life for herself and her son." Barbia responded."And I've given you a better life." "I want more." "That greed will send you to your early grave, that greed will render your son miserable for the rest of his life, because I won't pause my life and try to fit into motherhood for his sake." Barbia burned. "Nothing will happen to my son." "Stay away from Chief Onapuruagu and his family." Delma warned. "I know these people." "I should stay away from him so you can have him all to yourself, wait, you think I don't know you have eyes for him as well?" "Barbia.." Barbia cut off Delma. "Please, I am not scared of the outcome, no danger will meet us." "I won't be here and wait for it to come meet me." Delma turned, heading to the door. "In other words?" Barbia leaned forward, turning her face to the back to stare at Delma."I'm leaving Dir
CHAPTER THIRTY NINE. Coco fell asleep listening to music with her ear pods, in one Chief Onapuruagu's guest rooms. Chief Onapuruagu stepped into the room, he stared at the beautiful Coco Kaave of his heart for long before he went to sit beside her, using his hands to draw lines on her face. She lazily opened her eyes when he removed the ear pods."I'm sorry." Chief Onapuruagu planted kisses on her cheeks."For?" Coco asked.Chief Onapuruagu laughed. "I don't even know, but I'm sorry for everything. For any reason making you act this way."Coco stared deep into Chief Onapuruagu's eyes."Please could you be here with me forever?" Chief Onapuruagu pulled Coco into his arms. "Waking up alone isn't better.""I missed you." Coco hugged Chief Onapuruagu, tightly, passionately. Chief Onapuruagu's handsome face smiled deeply. "I love you." Ding Dong! A text message entered Chief Onapuruagu's private phone. He looked at the screen, it read:[Come to the hotel room where you lodged me last
CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT. Detective Flynn paced round the staircase leading to Sir Edwin's office. He kept staring towards Sir Edwin's office impatiently. "Flynn?" Detective Lauren tapped him from behind."What?" Detective Flynn turned, looking at Detective Lauren irritatedly. "What?" "What are you restless about?" Detective Lauren questioned."I'm losing patience." Detective Flynn fixed his eyes back towards Sir Edwin's office.Detective Lauren smiled casually. "Don't waste your time or get your hopes up. That couple aren't going to jail, of course they've bribed their way through, again." "What do you mean?" Detective Flynn turned to face Lauren fully. "Doctor Mira has been released along side the fake Chief Kaave." Detective Lauren replied. "And neither Chief Onapuruagu or his wife is going to jail." Detective Flynn burned. He stood on the staircase, staring at Detective Lauren speechlessly. "This battle is bigger than Sir Edwin, so don't blame him. He's working under orders fr
CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN."I'm proud of you." Brandy said, entering her kitchen. She leaned on the wall looking at Pearl, Pearl was busy washing dishes."Hey." Pearl said, turning to face Brandy. "Proud of what?" "Proud of what you did for Coco." Brandy moved to the refrigerator, opened it, brought out yoghurt, sipping to her satisfaction."I didn't do anything special." Pearl said. "Sincerely I wish there's a better way I could have apologized to Coco for everything that happened in the past."Brandy reached for the bread on the table and fed on. "This one you did is everything to Coco. The best thing you can do for Coco is being a loyal one. So that act of loyalty, makes up for everything you did wrong." Pearl turned to face the sink, rinsing the dishes. "Coco has so many enemies, sometimes I get scared of being close to her.""Why?" Brandy asked."I get scared I might be harmed by her enemies." Pearl said. "If they come for her and don't get her, they might come for me inside." "Na
