The wait was taking longer this time, it's been pass an hour since they went back into the surgery room. Instead of just staying there and do nothing, Liam turned on his heels and stride to the parking.He opened his car, hopped inside, and drive out of the precinct. Liam reached out to his phone, and dialed genius contact, it rang the first time, but he didn't pick up.He tried for the second time, which he finally picked."Hello! I'm sorry, boss, I'm in the lecture room.""You will have to skip class, I will share you my location, come meet me there.""Okay." He responded, and they hanged up. Ten minutes later, Liam arrived at the location, to meet Genius already waiting for him.He hopped out of his car, and gave him his phones to hold on to it. "Boss! You don't sound okay, did something happen.""Jerry got stabbed, I don't even know if his dead or alive. Let's go inside, there's one person who can answer the questions."He turned towards the building in front of them, and they st
"Boss, your mobile phone, you have a call." Genius interjected amid his musings, bringing him back to the present. He grabbed his phone nearby and pressed the answer button. "I'm just catching up on the news. What happened to Jerry? Who did that to him?" He heard his uncle's voice."The news? When did it reach the media?" He sounded astonished, unaware that Jerry had been taken to the hospital by a group of people."Have you forgotten who we are? There's a picture and video of him being carried from outside.""I'm sorry, uncle, it's my fault. I will take accountability." If he hadn't ignored him, made him stay out in the rain, he wouldn't have fallen ill."What accountability? Investigate what happened and get back to me. Whoever is behind it won't escape punishment." It was high time he took matters into his own hands."I received a call from mother, the surgery went well. He will recover with time.""Okay. That's a relief. I have been anxious since I saw the news. Now I can relax.
KAY'S EMBASSYThe music thundered loudly, boys and girls dancing to the beat in the background. In a spacious room, Kay sat, twirling a cigarette between his fingers, observing the ladies as they danced and swayed to the rhythm.His face bore a sinister smile, his aura radiating fear and ruthlessness. Disguised as a billionaire, Kay was the most feared mafia figure in Italy. Though suspicions surrounded his source of wealth, everything was meticulously covered up under the guise of legitimate business dealings.He set his cigarettes down, a small smile at the corner of his lips, he picked up his phone to check the notification he had just received. With a swipe, he opened the text message from his driver.He rose from his seat, dropped a hefty amount of money on the table and made his way out of the bar. People instinctively made way for him as he moved, clad in a crimson outfit.As soon as he exited the bar, he climbed into the waiting Hilux, and door the door behind."What took you
The following morning,After an all-night vigil, Lydia and Rose returned home to freshen up and have breakfast. Rose had proposed a plan to fly Freya out of the country, which Lydia encouraged, and urged her to discuss it with her husband. As they entered the living room, they found the Mayor engrossed in the news. Their footsteps caught his attention, drawing him towards them. "Good morning! How was your time at the hospital?" He queried, they both look exhausted."It was fine, he's still unconscious. Do you have a moment? I need to speak with you." Rose asked, while Lydia headed upstairs."Of course. Please, take a seat." He gestured. She nodded and settled opposite him."I wanted to discuss Freya with you. I'm planning to relocate her, she will be discharged soon."The Mayor's expression paled, the idea didn't seem to please him."Are you suggesting we move her? I'm sorry, but she can't leave the country.""We can't ignore what happened. Please, allow me to take her out of the count
The weekend flew by, Laylah arrived at the company workspace as scheduled to inspect the building.She had to apply her usual makeup routine to avoid recognition, which proved effective for her. As she strode from one area to another, Mr. Martin and Mr. Fred walked behind her. This continued for the next ten minutes until Laylah came to a halt."Mr. Fred, I believe this place is spacious enough to construct the conference room." She suggested. Before Fred could respond, Martin interjected."In my opinion, given the layout of the company, this area would be perfect for the room." He added, turning to look at Fred."I don't have any objections to building it here. I'm your employee now, and I will support your decision." Fred stated firmly.Laylah glanced at him with a smile. "Two heads are better than one. You are here because you started this company. Please, let's hear your opinion."Fred nodded. "I initially wanted to use the other side, closer to the reception, as the conference r
It proves to be a hectic day for Liam. He's been escorting Austin to the company houses built in Los Angeles. Austin expressed interest in owning a city house, and Liam graciously offered to personally show him around. Although the department head could have handled it, Liam decided to tour him around since he flew all the way from Miami. As they descend the stairs and leave the last house, Austin surveys the area and nods in approval. This is the kind of house he had in mind."What do you think? You must like this one. I see the way you took your time to inspect it." Liam said, gaining his attention."Yes, I'm impressed. Your team is hardworking. I love this one. How about we discuss it in your office before I head back to Miami?""Sure. I don't have a problem with that. I will see you in my office." He responded, and continued. "Also you said something about seeing my assistant.""Yes. That's if you don't mind. I got to discover what happened watching the news, I didn't want to both
Liam got dressed, ready to leave, but Laylah hadn't come upstairs to shower or change. He wondered if she was okay, and descended the stairs. As he walked into the living room, he found her absorbed in a movie, munching on her popcorn. "Don't tell me you forgot we're heading out?" He asked, bringing her attention back to him.Laylah had no interest in attending, especially to avoid Hilda's bullying. "I'm sorry, I just don't feel like going. I mean, it's a family dinner, but I don't feel like attending." Liam approached her to check her temperature. He touched her but didn't feel any warmth. "Are you unwell? You don't seem like it?"She chuckled and tossed a popcorn at him, which he caught and ate. "I'm not sick, it's discouraging. The Mayor is out of the country. It will be just you and the others. I don't even know what will happen without his presence.""I'm here to protect you. Now go upstairs, shower, and come down here looking all pleasant." Laylah nodded and went upstairs to c
"Liam, how about we have dinner when you are less busy? Maybe with your wife. Last time I was at your place, you weren't there." Adrian said, causing Philip's cutlery to slip from his hands. Liam wasn't supposed to find out he had been at the house.Everyone was stunned, pausing their meal. "Philip, are you okay? You look shocked." His mother asked.Liam's gaze had been on his wife, waiting for her body language to confirm if what his brother said was true, but she didn't react."No, it just slipped out of my hands. I have been clumsy lately, what's wrong with me?" He grabbed another fork from the table.Liam looked away from his wife and turned to his brother with a smile. "I wasn't aware you came to visit. Milady must have forgotten to inform me. I have no problem having dinner, you can always come around when you are ready.""But when did you visit? You just returned?" Lydia recalled her husband telling him to keep a low profile."It was on the day we went to see Aunt Laylah, we me
