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,
Asriel arrived at the Empire pub and casino, a high end pub that only the rich could have access to. He was already an hour late for his meeting. Five men had waited impatiently for more than an hour in a private room, sipping the bitter herb that burned their throats. On such a day drinking wasn't fun at all, especially after they had lost billions through the attack that happened last night.Asriel made his maiden entrance, seemingly unaffected by the anger that was evident on their faces. He sat on the empty seat before a waitress served his usual whiskey. He had seeped from his glass as the guys watched. No one was willing to speak up first, yet they had been yelping about how they would force him to return their funds they had invested." Mr. Gedor, with all due respect, what are you going to do about our business, my clients are already on my neck, waiting for the goods," Gray said, one of the prominent business men who dealt in drugs.Asriel had promised a safe delivery of the
" Get out of the car bitch," Zichi yelled angrily knocking hard on the car.Zia opened her car swiftly before drawing Zichi back." Don't you know how expensive this car is, worth more than your useless life," " I'll kill you Zia, you can't have my company, and destroy my hard work and think that I'll let go of you easily. Back at the company I let you carry the show only because I didn't want to embarrass myself infront of everyone, but now that it's only you and I, I'll teach you a lesson, you'll have to return everything to me," Zichi said.Rex moved in between the two who were staring angrily at each other, but Zia drew him aside, she was a soldier and could protect herself." I'm really sorry for you Zichi, don't you know when to stop, when you've obviously been defeated, do you think your useless threats affect me at all, you are just but a little rat ranting helplessly . Didn't you just say that you'd kill me, then go ahead, kill me," Zia said amusingly, a threatening smile
