“This has transformed to bring an arson case,” the detective added to his statement.

“Someone started a fire, on purpose?”

“Yes, unfortunately. And with your permission, we would like to collect all the CCTV footage in the area. Since it is private property, I heard the footage goes to you.”

Lorenzo shook his head and wheeled back gently, “Your job is done here.”

“W… what?”

“You have confirmed my doubts already, and that is more than enough. I can take care of things from here.”

“E… excuse me, sir. This is my work and I would rather…”

“Do you not hear a thing I said?” Lorenzo cut him short, his eyes broadening.

“We need to find the source of the arson and whoever started it. You don’t intend to keep this under wraps, do you?”

Lorenzo glanced at his friend and then shook his head.

A while back when the detective had arrived, he had excused himself from the others and Nicholas had followed him.

“Come on…” Nicholas mouthed to him to let the man do his work.

“Alright. Do your thing.”

    “Don! Killian!”Caleb hollered as he entered the house, and then looked around.“Don!” He hollered again.“Do—”“For fuck sake, Caleb!”Don hissed as he descended the stairs, and then Killian walked out of one of the empty rooms downstairs.“What are you doing here again?”Killian asked as he covered the space between them.A stick of weed, Canadian loud hung loosely in between his lips and he breathed out.“What do you want?” Don asked also as he got to where he stood.“I told you…!” He started shouting but soon lowered his voice.“I told you not to touch her!”“What are you…” Don shook his head, confused.“That woman. Leilani. I told you to leave her out of this!”“So?” Killian raised a brow.“So? Really? I remember telling you not to…”“Exactly, so what?!”“You set her workspace on fire!” He cried out.Don and Killian exchanged looks, shook their heads, and then walked away.“I am still talking.”Killian inhaled the smoke deeply before he exhaled and then turned to look at his brot

    “How is she now?” Lorenzo asked after Nicholas stepped out.The man has been in the ward with some other doctors with Leilani and then he breathed out.“She is quite unstable, I must confess. And with our evaluation, other than her physical trauma, she might develop some psychological trauma such as anxiety, PTSD, and emotional distress.”“B… but, she is still undergoing treatment for something like that. Remember?” his voice broke.“I know,” Nicholas nodded his head.“She will be fine, Enzo.”“You know that you have to tell me the truth, right? You must not hide anything from me… not regarding her.”“She is going to be alright, I assure you. We just need to help her manage her emotions better when she is conscious. She has returned to sleep and will be awake soon, okay?”He nodded his head and then sniffed.Perhaps the news regarding Peter had made him more scared and unstable.He had thought that if Peter could lose his life because of the same accident Leilani was in, then his wife

    “I should be there with her. You know that,” Lorenzo hissed for the umpteenth time, looking out of the window.“God, you’re so stubborn,” Mia hissed.“What?”“She is awake already. You saw that, didn’t you? It’s been three days and I haven’t seen you take a wink of sleep at all.”“I am okay.”“You just need to freshen up, okay? You will return to her afterward.”“Understood, but why are you following me too? Should you not be with her?”Mia swallowed and shook her head again.They left Leilani sleeping and besides, she wanted to see something else.She wanted to see her brother, Lorenzo, walk in front of her.“Nothing,” she rolled her eyes and then looked away.___The remaining journey home was so silent as the siblings didn’t utter any other words to each other and as they arrived at the gate, Lorenzo gasped at the lady that jumped in front of the car.“Who is that?!” Mia snapped.“That lady…” Lorenzo drew his brows together.“Do you know her?”He tilted his head as he tried to reme

    “Goodness, Leila!”Anna palmed her mouth and burst into tears the moment she looked through the glass and saw Leilani.“Oh, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know it was so serious!” She cried.Martha watched as the lady continued to cry and after a while, she moved over to her and then patted her shoulder.“She has gotten much better, so, take it easy, okay?”“When can I see her?”“She just fell asleep, so, maybe when she is awake although we don’t know when because she has been sleeping so much.”“I can wait with you guys, right?”Martha shrugged her shoulders off and then moved away from the lady.Anna kept staring at Leilani from where she stood and then muttered incoherently.After a few moments, her phone rang and she removed it from her pocket almost immediately.It was Caleb again.Caleb had not stopped calling her since the day he announced to her of the woman’s condition.He kept calling her every hour to ask if she had gotten a hang of Leilani yet.She moved away from where she stood

    Arriving the living room with Mia, Martha and Nicholas, Lorenzo stood up from his chair, and then moved over to Leilani who leaned on Martha.“What are you…” she widened her eyes and then glanced at Mia.“What? What is that that look for?” Mia rolled her eyes.“Lorenzo, you…”“She knows,” he nodded his head and took her gently from Martha.“Mia knows?!” Nicholas and Martha hollered and then exchanged glances.“Why do you all find it so surprising?” She smacked and then moved closer to the couple.“Because… because it is you, Mia! Fuck, what have you done, Enzo?” Nicholas broadened his eyes“She has known about it for seven months, trust me. I felt so much like a fool when I found out,” he shook his head.“Oh, you do not need to be embarrassed, brother,” she patted his shoulder and then took Leilani’s hand in hers.“How did she find out?” Nicho moved over to Lorenzo too.“She's sly, trust me. You don't even wanna hear it.”“Tell me.”When Lorenzo hesitated, Mia breathed out, staring at

    As the two men entered the library, Lorenzo shook his head as Mia didn’t stop walking after them and then sighed.“Listen, I understand that you wanna be of help, but now is not the time. I have been working on this for a while and I’ve never needed your help, so please…”“Ouch…”“Leave us be.”“No, no, you cannot force me away, I will not go,” she shook her head, entered fully, and then settled on the couch.“Mia.”“I will not go. I am in this with you. They probably know that I have chosen your side already and what is my gain if I lose both sides?”“What do you want? Money?”“Don’t offend me further, brother.”“You are the one driving me crazy, Mia.”Still, she did not answer, she crossed her legs, and then folded her arms tightly across her chest.“Just leave her be,” Nicholas shook his head.“No, I can’t. That is Mia, remember? A chatterbox! Who knows what she is actually planning?”“Hello, I am still here, sitting,” she raised her hands and waved her hands at them.“I didn’t whi

    “What?” Leilani widened her eyes and crossed her arms across her chest.“I am going to help you in the bathroom.”“You even repeated it!” She exclaimed and he laughed.“And?”“Since when have I ever needed anyone to help me in the bathroom?”“You have a wound on your back, Lani. We were advised not to get it wet till it’s time to come for cleaning.”“I can manage.”“You can’t.”“Then… help me get Martha. I am sure she will be more than glad to help me in the bathroom.”“Will it not be somehow if she comes to do that when you have me right here with me?”“Will you get her or would you prefer that I bury myself in the bathtub there?”He breathed out and rolled his eyes, “You’re so stubborn.”“What do you say?”“I’ll get Martha now.”“Good.”He rolled his eyes and then walked out of the room.————“I am sorry for being a bother,” Leilani whispered as the woman stepped in the bathroom with her.“Oh, silly!” Martha chuckled.“I feel so bad.”“I am more than happy to do this for you.

    “Oh, am I seeing correctly?!”Shane hollered the moment Mia stepped into the living room and they all turned to look in her direction.“Hi, fam!” She waved her hands at them and then walked fully into the room.“Thought you have decided to live there forever,” Agnes grunted.“I could, you know. But, you are my family regardless.”“No one actually cares where you decide to live. You do not even need to tell which side you are on. We know already,” Arthur hissed.Mia rolled her eyes and turned to walk away before she stopped abruptly and then turned to look at her mother.“You amaze me, mother. You really do.”“What is she saying?” Agnes snapped her brows together.“She was in the hospital for a week, but… you never showed your face… neither did you call.”“So?”“I really have no problem with them…” she glanced at her brothers.“I have no problem with them not visiting. I really do not expect anything from them, but, you?”“Don’t rile me up, Mia. Just get on your way.”“No! Your suppose

    “Lorenzo!” Aaron hollered and then rushed towards the man.“I was just coming to see you!” He knelt down and then touched his legs gently like there were thorns around it which was preventing him from touching them well.But Lorenzo didn’t stand still, he walked past his father gently and then approached Shane, his face as hard as rock.“W… why are you coming in my direction?” Shane stuttered, moving backward.“Hi, brother,” Lorenzo tilted his head.“Someone stop this psycho from moving closer to me!” He snapped.“Why? Are you scared of me?” He asked when Shane’s back touched the wall, and he covered the space between them.“W… what are you doing?”Lorenzo tugged his lips into a smirk and then moved his hands from his pockets.“I know, brother.”“K… know what?” He asked, beads of sweat gathering on his forehead.“I know what you did,” he said, ever calmly.Shane swallowed the lump in his throat and then hurriedly wiped his forehead with the back of his hand.He was bluffing.He didn't

    “I have things to take care of today. I will resume at the company tomorrow,” Lorenzo said as he buttoned up his wrist, his phone on loudspeaker and then dropped it on the table in front of him.“What do I do?”“You should get things in order. We are both resuming tomorrow. Release an official statement that I will be resuming tomorrow. Sort out the interview proposal that you must have received and pick up the best of them. You can do that much, right?”“Yes, sir.”“Good.”“Sir, how about the issue with Shane? You have not…”He cleared his throat, picked up his phone, and then glanced at his wife, who was still sleeping peacefully in the bed.“I will sort that out.”“When? We can’t let this drag out. We have all the evidence to apprehend him and…”“I will sort it out, David,” he cut him short and couldn’t miss the deep sigh he gave.“Don’t worry. I have it under control.”“Do you need me to go with you when you’re going?”Lorenzo chuckled and then shook his head like the man was goin

    “But… Benzo is not one common name. I mean, I have heard it quite a lot in the past but I can’t quite remember where,” Leilani said as she stepped out of the bathroom, wrapped in the bathroom robe.“Oh… yeah.”“What? You wanna say something?” She asked as she settled in front of the dressing table and then pulled forward her facial care routine.“Actually,” he started and sat upright.“What?” Leilani glanced at him through the mirror.“He works at my company.”“Who?”“Jonathan.”She parted her lips and then drew her brows together.“What?!”“So, the thing is, he works at my company. He recently got promoted to an executive, in fact.”“Lorenzo?”“I know what you’re thinking,” he raised his hands.“Trust me, you don’t.”“I have many companies to my name, you know? There’s Benzo electronics, pharmaceuticals, Architecture, mall… and a few like that, and he happens to work in one of them, Benzo Electronics.”“Why? I mean… why do you let him work for you?”“He has been a staff at the compan

    “B… brother is Benzo?!” Mia exclaimed as she stopped in front of Leilani and then took her hands in hers.“That makes the two of us. I’m excited,” she sucked her teeth.“What? You… you didn’t know about it?” She asked, raising her brows.“I am finding out for the first time tonight just like every other person,” she shrugged.“B… but…” Mia cleared her throat.“Maybe he has his reasons for…”“Don’t take his side, Martha!”Mia and Leilani snapped.“Good, he’s coming. He has a lot of…”Leilani snatched her hands from Mia and then smacked, “I will head inside first.”Mia, with her mouth opened agape watched as the lady walked away and then shook her head.“She is so pissed.”“He should have told her, at least.”Mia creased her brows at Martha and then chuckled, “Were you not just taking his side?” “I just needed to make her calm down, of course.”“I think you only made it worse.”Lorenzo rushed to them and then panted, “Why didn’t you stop her?!”“Why should I?” “You are so…”“You are t

    Arthur didn’t know he had staggered backward and the panicked murmurs from the others had snapped him back to reality.“Y… you…”He pointed his index finger at Lorenzo who looked really unbothered as he turned to look at his security team.“Are you ready, sir?” David asked, and he nodded his head.The men formed a proper barricade, and then began to push through the crowd, with Lorenzo, his wife and Nicholas trailing slowly with them.They kept waking, ignoring the crowds while Lorenzo moved over to Leilani, and then took her hand gently in his.She raised her head to look at him, sighed and he nodded his head at her, smiling softly.When the security team stopped moving, they stopped too and David who was leading moved over to him.“There are so many paparazzi outside,” he whispered in his ear.“Really?”“Yes. Literally all media companies are here.”He looked down at Leilani again and then leaned down, “Are you good?”“Yes.”“How about the back exit?” He asked David.“It is jammed t

    “I am Lorenzo Byers, and I am the founder of the BENZO group of companies.”Agnes choked on the water she was drinking as she stood up gently from the couch with Aaron opposite her.“That is…”She coughed out loud, dropping the glass cup in her hand and not minding the way it shattered to the ground. She hit her chest and then coughed again.“That is…”“Lorenzo?” Aaron whispered, and then removed his medicated glasses from his eyes as if that was going to help him to see clearer.“That is Lorenzo?!” Agnes hollered and then widened her eyes.They had both settled in front of the Television to watch the event as they had hoped that Arthur would be receiving an award that night.“He is… Benzo?”“He can… walk?”Agnes and Aaron stuttered respectively.“This is wrong. There must be an error somewhere,” Agnes shook her head.But, Aaron’s reaction was different.He staggered to the big screen, touched it, and trailed his fingers down his son’s supposed legs.“He is standing!” He cried out an

    David shook his head as his boss wouldn’t stop laughing and then shook his head.“Sir.”Lorenzo smacked and then exhaled. “All along… it was him.”“Boss.”“We suspected someone from the house, did we not?”“Yes, but certainly not Shane.”Lorenzo nodded his head in agreement and then dropped his head on the headrest, his eyes closed.He might have actually imagined it to be anyone, but never Shane.He thought he knew the man.He was reckless and sassy, but certainly not the type to commit arson or murder.Well, in the past.He had just assumed the man to be a jester as he used to derive joy in making fun of his condition by coming up with numerous ironies just to insult him.But never in his whole life had he thought that Shane would go as far as wanting to kill his own wife.“Boss.”“Yes?” He opened his eyes and then sat upright.“What do we do?”“Where is he?”“He is in the hall also,” he answered.Lorenzo nodded his head and then chuckled.“Give me your orders.

    “Is that not… Enzo’s wife?”Shane chuckled dryly as he leaned in his seat and then nudged his brother gently.Arthur took his hand from the woman who sat beside him and then turned to look in the direction Shane pointed at.“No way.”“Look there. She is sitting with Nicholas.”Arthur squinted his brows and when he confirmed that it was truly the woman, he chuckled and then hissed.“Who is that?” The woman, Emily asked.Emily was his girlfriend and he had hoped that after the event was over, he would take her home and introduce her to his family.“Lorenzo’s wife.”“Your stepbrother?” She asked and he nodded his head.“Woah, she’s pretty,” she sucked her teeth.“I don’t see it.”“She is so pretty. She looks better in person.”“Whatever,” he rolled his eyes and then turned to look at Shane.“Why is she here though?”“Perhaps… She came out to cheer for Nicholas? No one needs to be told, we know he’s getting an award tonight again.”For the past five years, Nicholas had been receiving awar

    “Are you ready?”Nicholas asked her and she nodded her head, taking a deep breath.“I don’t know what we’re doing, as Lorenzo wouldn’t say a word but, okay. I am ready.”“Don’t fret. It is nothing serious,” he shook his head and then curved his arm beside her.Leilani nodded her head and then breathed out again. “If you say so.”She linked her arm around his arm, and together, they walked to the press.The moment they sighted them, they all turned to look at them, flashing their lights at them which almost overwhelmed the woman.But, Nicholas was holding on to her tight as they walked down the red carpet.They kept walking, ignoring the literally provoking questions the press was asking till they walked in through the opened door of the hall.Leilani gasped softly as she entered the hall.It was the largest she had ever seen. Real or on the television. It was so bright too that it could blind a person, and the ornaments used to beautify the hall could not go unnoticed.Chandeliers hu
