We arrived at the complex and I packed the car there then Sarah grabbed her stuff as we began to walk to the abandoned house. Sarah looked concerned because she didn’t know where we were going and she was starting to feel insecure, in fact she didn’t trust me at the this point and she had every right.
“Where are going?” she asked.
“Will you just trust me for once” I replied.
Sarah stopped and gave me an annoyed look.
“Trust you?” she asked.
I also stopped in silence then went back to her, we locked eyes.
“I know I did you wrong and I know that you are here right now not because you want to but because I blackmailed you and that’s wrong in so many levels but trust me, I’m not the enemy here” I replied.
Sarah just looked at me in silence as I continued to lead the way, she followed me all the way to the house without saying a word or anything, I kept on looking back
When we got to the complex, I rushed to the ATM to get some cash incase we needed something along the way as we were to get away for a few days. I drove all the way home and Christine was ready and they were waiting for me at the gate. Johnny and Sophie were also there standing beside Christine waiting for me to arrive.I stopped the car “get in” I said.Christine threw the bags into the boot then the three of them jumped into the backseat. Christine glanced at Sarah who was sitting at the front seat and we exchanged looks, her eyes showed disappointment.“Hi” Christine greeted Sarah.“Hello” Sarah replied.It became awkward for a few minutes, Johnny and Sophie sat quietly beside Christine, not saying a word to Sarah. I remembered that Johnny actually had an issue that wasn’t yet fixed and he still looked angry and annoyed.“Johnny” I called him.Johnny didn’t bother to say a
Early in the morning I rushed to go get food, at a restaurant that was nearby. I grabbed takeaways for everyone. This was the restaurant that Cindy and I ate in, the first time we hooked up. After a few minutes of waiting for food, I came back to the room I shared with Johnny and found him still sleeping, I left some of the food in the room then I grabbed the contracts and went to the room that the ladies shared. I knocked and Christine came and opened the door for me.“Morning” I greeted her.“Hey” Christine replied.“Can I come in?” I asked.“Yeah, what’s up?” Christine replied as she moved away from the door.I gave her the food then walked into the room, glancing at Sarah and Sophie who were in deep sleep. I handed her the food and sat down on the sofa that was there.“I want us to have a chat about these contracts” I said.“Oh okay” Christine replied as
I arrived at the police station and parked the car across the street so that it could not be spotted. I took the laptop with me and I walked into the police station and immediately after I entered through the door of the station, some of the police officers started glancing at me, they looked at me like they recognized me from somewhere. I walked towards the receptionist who spotted me the minute I walked through those doors.“Hi” she greeted me.This was not the same receptionist I knew back then; I was expecting to see the eyebrow lady on that reception. I assumed that she must’ve been fired maybe, since she was a rude one. This new receptionist was much better than the eyebrow lady, she was decent and polite with a very beautiful smile.“Hi, I’m actually looking for Detective Jones” I replied.“He’s probably in his office” she replied.“Just go through those stairs, first door on your l
“So, you’re telling me that you are no longer working for Charlotte?” I asked.“Yeah, most of the guys that used to work for her actually left” the driver replied.I remained quiet after hearing that he was no longer working for Charlotte, it was never easy to quit when you were working for Charlotte. It was as if some kind of fear was instilled in them or something.“I know you’re wondering how that happened” he guessed my thoughts.“Yeah man, I mean you were all so afraid to actually leave that place, what happened?” I replied.“I guess we realized that we were actually oppressed and it was not Charlotte who was doing all that but her dad” he said.All the time I lived with Charlotte I have never seen her dad and now that the driver was mentioning him, it hit me as a shock.“Her dad?” I asked.“Yeah” he replied.“I tho
The next day…We all left the guest house and it was now time for me to go and claim my position in all the four companies. I decided to put on my jeans and a normal t-shirt then I went to the first three companies where I was going to introduce myself as the owner. At the third company, the shareholders wanted to meet the new owner so I rushed there. As I was walking through the doors of that multi-million-company, what I set my eyes on was amazing the interior design was just amazing, the security guard yelled at me.“Hey, what are you doing here?” the security guard said.I turned and stared at him “me?” I asked him.“Yeah, you can’t come in here wearing like that” the security guard said.I stared at him not surprised because also at the first three companies I got the same gesture.“And what’s wrong with how I’m wearing sir?” I asked.The first thing I was g
“Time is no longer on my side” I grabbed the box “thank you so much for this sir” I said as I was walking away from the counter.“I’ve been expecting you” he replied.I stopped and turned; I approached the counter once again.“You’ve been expecting me?” I asked.“My wife and I, we had a grandson who was given up for adoption” he paused “that necklace in there was given to me by my wife when she died. She told me in a dream that you will come and I should give it to you” he replied.I remained quiet for that minute, realizing that the woman in the picture was indeed the strange lady and was I wondered if I was the grandson or what.“So where is this grandson now?” I asked.“I can’t say” he paused “he must look inside himself and the path will lead him here” he said.Deep down I felt like this old man was
The day of the business tycoon gala dinner finally arrived, Christine made sure that our outfits were ready and Jones made sure that our security personnel was ready to accompany us to the gala dinner. At this particular dinner is where I was going to meet Mr. Zhang and Mr. Jackson, my plan was to make quiet an impression if I had a chance to meet them one on one.I put on my designer suit that which Christine had someone design it for me, it was shiny and black in color. I walked out of my room and walked all the way downstairs glancing at my watch as I waited for Christine and before I knew it Christine was walking on the stairs incredibly looking. She was wearing a red Cinderella dress, it looked like that dress was designed specifically for her body.“Wow” I said.“What?” she asked.“You look incredible” I replied.She blushed “Thank you” she said.I held her by a hand as we walked out of t
After laying my eyes on that kid, I remembered that I had a kid and now I had to power to go and be with him and so he gets to know that I was his father. I got into the bathroom and then a chef came behind me.“They are going to try and poison you” he said.“What?” I asked.“Whatever you do just don’t eat the food in your plate” he instructed me.He immediately walked out after saying that, I knew that someone might try to attempt such a thing so I left the bathroom without doing whatever I was going to do there. When I got back to the main hall, they were already serving the guests but our table was not yet served, so I went back to my seat.“Hey, you see those waiters coming with food this side” I whispered to Christine.“Yeah” she replied.“I want you to switch your plate with the plate of the guy sitting next to you” I continued whispering.&ldqu
