The morning sun had cast beautiful rays through the curtains, landing on the bed that Zia had slept on. By the side was the General, dozing off for a second before he got up again. He couldn't sleep no matter what, he had stayed up all night long watching over her.Zia slowly gained consciousness as she held her throbbing head. She tried to get up, but she felt a strong headache attack her once more that she clenched her teeth in pain. It got worse, deafening sounds playing in her ear that she let out a high pitched cry, holding her head with both her hands. The General got up startled and rushed by her side. Her eyes were shut, but seemingly in deep pain. He tried to hold her, but she was screaming so loud that he had to get out immediately to get help.A doctor had almost knocked on the General on his way in." Doctor what could be wrong with her?" " I'm not sure, but we need to check up on her immediately. If you please get out of the room General," the doctor said but it seemed
Driving in the silent night, Zia glanced out of the window. She couldn't believe that everything happened like a year ago and that she had been living someone else's life. What would it be like if she still had her child. And her company, will Zichi gladly give it up.Zia wondered why her previous mother in law had her join the army. Thinking about this she remembered the card she had given her back then." Carlos," Carlos who had been silent all along felt his heart skip a bit hearing her voice call his name, the name that only a few people knew. He glanced at her for a split second and stated back into the road." Have you spoken with Connie of late? I think it's high time I report back to her, I need to clear whatever it is that I owe her before I engage in other things," " I'm sorry to tell you this but Connie died on the same night you went to the camp. She had suffered an accident," " What, I can't believe that." Zia suddenly sad, her mother in law had definitely tried reachi
A week had passed since Cai's burial. While the General returned to the camp, Zia had set in motion her plans. It was almost noon, when she sat by the window in the penthouse, with a perfect view of the city. This was one of the property that only she and her father had known about. The two would usually escape the stressful atmosphere back at home. At times they would make up a story of being out on a trip, while in truth, they were just in town, getting to enjoy the peaceful life away from everyone.The penthouse had three bedrooms, expensively furnished, with white and blue leather seats, matching curtains and expensive chandeliers hanging in the middle and on the corridors to every room.The house had been well maintained for the entire period that she had been gone. Zia was glad they had hired one of the most trust worthy person to take care of her apartment while she had been gone. She hadn't been paid for a while year and half that she had been gone. But on getting back, she en
*Mature content*The four had almost finished with their meal, but there was just one food that Zia had avoided all through. With everyone interrogating her randomly, trying hard to find out just how much she knew about them. Zia had expertly played their game. She had once found Asriel staring hard at her, his eyes never leaving her on most occasions, but Zichi had tried to capture his attention, especially after she had talked about the two being a perfect match for each other. Zia could already see Zichi running after Asriel. Zia had failed to understand how come Zichi had stayed single all these while. Wasn't there a man interested in her, or was it her aim to finally take over everything that belonged to her.Zia had avoided the fried chicken all along, noticing the traces of nuts that laced the flesh.Cassandra noticed that Zia hadn't touched the special food she had prepared for her. She immediately served her the chicken claiming it to be speciality made for every guest in the
Zia had slept through the day, her body finally free from the toxins. She got up from bed and retrieved her mobile on the table , she wasn't shocked to find the numerous missed calls. Quickly she made a call to Rex, one of the members of the lethal squad, the Eagles." Get your ass over here, we've got an operation to carry out" Came Rex's rude voice before he had disconnected the call. Zia rolled her eyes before she dropped her cell on the bed, she dragged her body to the bathroom. It was in that moment that she immediately remembered the cameras.She took a quick shower before she ran back to her living, her white towel still tied around her wait. She immediately started playing the videos, from the moment she had installed them and focused mainly at the time she had gone to the bathroom after being fed the poison.She watched Asriel's concerned expression and his sudden anger outburst, making her sit back in thought. Who knew he still cared for her, but he was still too cold to h
He stopped suddenly by the roadside before he picked up his cell phone. He called all his contacts in the media houses and they had suddenly switched off their mobile after releasing such an explosive news against him.Left with no other option, Asriel made a phone call to the minister for communication which was answered immediately." Mr. Gedor, what a surprise to receive your call at this hour. What can I do for you?" " You know what I want Mr.Martin, I want all the news pulled down immediately, everything that touches on my name should never appear anywhere," Asriel said angrily." I'm afraid that is impossible Mr. Gedor, maybe you request for something else"" This isn't some sort of request, it's an order, you know I can fire you from your position right away,' Asriel threatened. " Sorry to disappoint you again Asriel. The press release had caught the president's attention, and with the current political atmosphere, I won't risk anything. You can do as you please," the ministe
Asriel had just laid his head on the bed when a knock came through his door. His servants had never bothered him. He got up from bed rubbing his sleep deprived eyes. " What the hell Nicko, it's already midnight," " Our contact at the police station just called. The warehouse was torched, and every one of the guards killed," " You can't be serious Nicko, I just spoke with..." Asriel couldn't complete the sentence when the information finally hit him hard. He ran back into his room and picked his coat and put it on. He had been too tired to even remove his trousers.The two made their way upstairs to the roof, where a chopper was waiting. Asriel didn't even wait for him to sit on the pilot seat, he had occupied it and started the plane. A second later they were already on air, flying out of the city. A distance away the blazing fire could be seen in the middle of the night.The red flames reflected in Asriel's eyes as he fumed with rage. Getting closer he could see several police car
Zia's eyes swept across the room at the discontented investors and the board members. Her lips curved up into a sly smile as she moved forward. Only one seat was empty, her seat. Mr. Allen had welcomed her to the seat while she made slow strides, her heels echoing in the silent room.Everyone seemed at ease, especially when she took the seat. She had been just like her father when she had led the company. The company had doubles their income in the first quarter of her taking the seat of the CEO.Everyone had named her beauty with brains. She had personally handled all the company contracts, big or small, never letting any rooms for mistakes.She wasn't like her sister who had only been after amassing wealth and having everything to her name." Pardon me for this intrusion especially after what transpired the previous day leading to lots of losses for the company. But I feel that I'm in the right place, sitting at my rightful chair, and for that I can't apologize about," Zia started,
