William climbs down the staircase to the foyer while his guards run to him."Do not forget what I told you to do, Kenny." He says to one of his guard.Kenny bows, "Yes, consigliere."William nods and the guards escort him outside to the garage before one of them starts the car heading for Lexis' mansion.Soon, they arrive there and William steps out of the car making his way to the entrance of the mansion but two guards at the entrance stops him. They bow before him as they greet him.One of the guards place his hand on the communication device on his ear before speaking. "Captain, the consigliere is here."He pauses for some minutes before turning to the consigliere. "You may go in consigliere."William sighs and shake his head. "Oh, just wow" He claps his hands together while the guards opens the door for him to go in.He walks in majestically into the foyer with his guards and then Lexis climbs down the stairs wearing a red suit with Ron by his side."To what do I owe this visit, br
5pm Friday, AJEGUNLEOmolara is chopping some onions as she prepares food for the kids in the kitchen. After Kemi was taken away by the stranger he husband owes money, things have never remained the same in the house. She and her husband had drifted father apart since then. She didn't ask him to leave nor did she leave but she never acknowledges him as any important not even her husband in the house. Peter doesn't sleep in the house most of the times because he couldn't bear seeing his wife in so much pain that he has caused himself all due to his gambling habits. The kids have been asking her why Kemi has never called them and when she's coming back but all she could tell them is that, she will come soon. Shola walks into the kitchen and leans on on the kitchen counter."Mummy, someone is outside looking for sister Kemi."Omolara turns to her little daughter. "Who is the person?" She asks wondering who could be looking for Kemi. Kemi doesn't have any friends apart from the one that
~Third person POV ~"Boss, are you okay?" Robert asks with a worried look on his face. He has been sick worried since he found out Lexis was stuck inside the elevator. Lexis walks over to him and nods while Margaret runs over to them with a panic face."Are you okay sir? We're very sorry about this sir."Lexis sighs, "It's cool. The clothes?" He asks her and she nods quickly."This way please.""I'm not the one buying, she is." He refers to Kemi. "You can attend to her, I don't have a problem."Kemi turns to him in shock. Did he really believe she's here to buy clothes??Margaret walks over to Kemi and gestures for her to follow her. "Come with me."Kemi shakes her head, "No... There's... There's no need. I will buy some other time."Lexis gives her a puzzled look. "Why?""Em..I'm feeling very em.. I'm feeling very tired right now, some other time.""Why? You can buy it now." Lexis presses further.Kemi gulps at his words, "Em... ..." She shut her eyes tightly before saying. "I...I em
10 YEARS AGOFEBRUARY 15, 2004. LEKKI, LAGOS.All the members of the Lawal mafia family were all seated in the conference room while Richard sits down in the king-sized chair with the consigliere by his side."Richard, are you saying Alexander will become the underboss? What about your first son, William?" One of the capos of the mafia, Benedict Johnson, questions."The position of the mafia is not only passed down due to age differences but also by competency..." Richard takes a dice from the table."-Lexis has proved to be more than capable in many ways." Richard says firmly.He turns to his consigliere, "William would become his consigliere instead."The consigliere sighs, "Boss, I know very well of Lexis's capabilities, but is it not right to give the position to William?" He shrugs his shoulders. "-I mean, Lexis is only 18.""Yes, boss. Come to think of it." Benedict adds as he turns to Lexis who is sitting like a statue looking at the air as if he's not even paying attention to w
THE PAST CONTINUES......Lexis places the gun on the little boy's head smiling at him and then, he pulls the trigger.Benedict screams out running towards them in panic. "Noo."Lexis stands up holding the gun in his hand as he looks at the little boy who looks up at him puzzled."I still haven't fallen asleep." The little boy says to him innocently.Benedict pauses in his track when he hears his son's voice. Lexis didn't shoot him?Lexis smiles at the boy, "There's no bullet in it.""The bullet makes it work, right?""Yes. It makes this thing..." Lexis says pointing at the gun. "Works."The little boy nods, "Then why don't you put some inside?"Lexis grins and squirts before him again. "How old are you?""Six years old!" He says loudly beaming from ear to ear.Lexis nods, "Six, hmm. Then that's great. " He pats the boy's head. "You should know, little brat, this.." He says referring to the gun. "-Is called a gun and it doesn't take people to nice places." The little boy looks at him
THE PRESENTAPRIL 17,SATURDAY 2022.8 am.“Mom, why did you cheat on dad? If you hadn't cheated on him, maybe he wouldn't have hurt you like that.” He says to his mom who sits beside him smiling broadly but he wasn't a little boy this time around, he was all grown up.“There are some things you wouldn't understand my son.I just regret the fact that I couldn't spend more time with you. I couldn't even watch you grow.""I'm sorry mom, really sorry." He says as his eyes clouds with tears.She smiles lovingly at him. He reaches for her face but it seems to be too far from his reach. He tries reaching for her face again so he could feel her touch, even if it's for a little bit but her face just keeps moving farther and farther from his reach. He panics as he tries harder but her whole body starts to fade away from him.*****“Mom! Mom please wait! Pleaseeee..." He screams desperately as tears roll down his cheeks.“Underboss! Underboss!" Erica yells trying to wake him up.Lexis suddenly op

She sits down on the lavatory seat in the toilet staring at the picture of the document William had sent her.She sighs resting her back as she wonders how and where she's going to get it from.“Kemi! Kemi!" She turns to the door as she hears Rose's voice."I'll be done in a few minutes Rose!" She says loudly.“Madam Teju is fuming Kemi! She says you left your duty!"Kemi sighs as she hears that. That woman wouldn't even let her use the toilet?“Tell her I'm using the toilet Rose.”“Em... Kemi I've told her that like a hundred times but she doesn't even want to hear from me..." Rose pauses leaning closer to the door and whispers, "Is she always like this Kemi?”Kemi chuckles lightly before going over to wash her hands. She walks out and meets Rose now standing close to the bed.“She was really angry Kemi." Rose says with widen eyes.Kemi smiles lightly, “Don't worry, its fine.."But before she could finish what she's saying, madam Teju burst into the room.“Why haven't you cleaned the b
