“Yes we do” Killian said when he saw Milana waa not going to respond.
“Really?” Belle looked at Milana to confirm it “Yes,” Milana agreed. “So how did you meet or know each other?” Belle asked, she was curious. How many years had it been since he last saw her, she was just 16 but is now a young beautiful lady. Milana was always beautiful and innocent but now she is more beautiful and now mature. She is now a fine young lady. Killian thought to himself as a smile appeared on his face “We knew each other from childhood, we grew up in the same neighborhood until my family moved out of the neighborhood but I always came from time to time in the neighborhood to meet my friends. But unfortunately I stopped going since I had to go study abroad” Killain explained with his eyes fixed on Milana's. “Oh really, wow” Belle said but could not understand why Milana seemed uninterested. Milana picked a glass of wine on the table and zipped from it. Yes Killain was right, they knew each other as neighbor's until his family won a jackpot and they moved to a better neighborhood, his mother was a seamstress who made almost everyone's dress in the neighborhood which is why she knew his name since him and his siblings always stayed in their mother's shop and also the fact that he was the eldest. But that's just it, they were not close and was not so familiar with him, she only got to know that their family won a jackpot because they had made sure to announce it to everyone and her mother always spoke about it wishing they had won. “How have you been Milana?” Killian asked, trying to gain her attention. Milana looked at him “Good, thanks for asking, what about you?” “Great, a lot has happened in my life that I am grateful for,” he smiled. Milana nodded as she kept on zipping her drink and enjoying the music that was playing. Belle knew her friend to be someone who doesn't like to relate with people she is not so familiar with and it was obvious through her reaction that she was not so familiar with Killian but why is Killian making it seem like they knew each other very well? She was going to ask Milana about it. They continued to drink and have fun, but then there was Killian who could not remove his eyes on Milana. Milana suddenly felt uncomfortable and decided to excuse herself to the restroom. Belle wanted to escort her but she declined and said she was going to be back. Killian's eyes followed hers until she left there to the direction of the restroom, outside of the vvip section they were in. Meanwhile, outside the club, about four luxury custom made SUVs stopped in front of the club and that immediately gained the attention of everyone trying to go inside. The initials on the plate number already indicated who owned the vehicle. Only the rich amongst the rich could identify it. Bodyguards stepped out from each of the vehicles and the door of one of the SUVs was opened. The person at the back seat stepped out, everyone on the cue moved out of the way for him to pass including the huge club bouncers. The bouncers acknowledged him with a bow as he stepped Into the club. They did not bother to request for his access card because he is just one of those persons in the society that did not need one before getting inside. Some rich kids started whispering to themselves, wondering what he was doing here. With the number of guards he brought with him, it seems he was looking for someone. Logan scanned his eyes around the first floor but did not see any sign of his cousin who had sworn to continuously give grandfather a sleepless night. He clenched his fist in anger “Search every single part of this night club until you find her, do I make myself clear” Logan said loudly for them to hear. “Yes young master!!” The guards said in unison as they all took different directions to go search for her. Logan on the other hand took the elevator to the last floor where the manager's office was. The manager was already notified of his presence the moment he stepped into the club and knew he was on his way to his office because of the CCTV footage around. The manager panicked, because he had received an order from Logan never to allow his cousin into his club which he obeyed not knowing his cousin had used another person's identity to get in. Now he was in big trouble because Logan won't let it slide. He began to think of ways he could survive Logan’s wrath because he was merciless when no one obeys his orders. The elevator to the last floor opened and a very angry and impatient Logan stepped out from the elevator and started looking for the manager's office which he was quick to find. He rolled up his white sleeves then used his foot to push the door open. “Young master you are here, to what do I owe your presence at my club” The manager said with a fake smile on his face and sweat falling from his forehead as a result of fear. Logan gave him a deadly look as he walked towards him across his table, then immediately grabbed hold of him on the neck. None of the manager's men could do anything because the man who was holding their boss like that was someone that could not be messed with, they were rather afraid of what the man would do to them after he was done with their boss. The Manager gasped for air “Didn't I give an order?” “Yeeeeeeee____yes” the manager struggled to say. “And you disobeyed” The Manager tried to shake his head to indicate he didn't. “ Now tell me what I should do to you?” The Manager tried to plead and his men all knelt down to plead for their own lives, they were all shaken. When one messes with Logan their life becomes worthless. While he was still thinking of what to do to them his phone rang in his pants pocket. He took it out with his other hand and saw that his head bodyguard was the one calling. “What is it?” “We found her” “Good, take her to the family estate and keep her locked in her room”. “Okay young master” The call ended and he placed his phone back in his pocket before releasing his hold on the manager who fell to the floor and was gasping for air. “From tomorrow this club will be shut down, I will allow you to make your money for today” he said as he walked out. As he headed towards the elevator, he saw two men holding a young lady and taking her to the rooftop from a distance. They didn't see him but he had seen them. The lady they were holding looked familiar, he had only seen her side profile but still he knew it was her. He immediately moved back and followed the direction they followed to the rooftop. He has only seen that face once for just a few minutes but since the day he set his eyes on that face he has not been able to forget it, for some unknown reason she has been in his head. She looks like someone that was drugged by those men and whatever they are going to do on that rooftop with her was bad news. Logan went to the roof top and witnessed the men trying to raise her dress up. The scene made him burn in rage, he clenched his fist. “Don't you dare touch her with those felt hands” he gritted his teeth. The men looked back to see who it was and were shocked to see Logan Donatello, they became scared and immediately let her go. Logan walked towards them in anger “We did not know she is your woman,, please forgive us young master Logan” They shifted back in fear and surrendered, when Logan advanced towards them again, they both found a corner and ran away from there. Logan walked towards the young lady who was leaning on the wall and was half unconscious. He shifted her hair away from her face and saw that it was indeed her, that person that bumped into him at the university and was rude to him, the face he could not forget even when he was someone that is quick to forget faces. “It's you again” he murmured to the half unconscious young lady. Neither was her phone or bag with her so there was no way to contact anybody so all he can do now is take her with him till she is conscious. He carried her in bridal style and left the club through the back door where he told his driver to wait. After getting inside his suv, he instructed his driver to drive them home. His driver was surprised to see a woman with him, which has not happened before and another shocking thing was that he was taking her to his house. Few hours after arriving at his mansion, he took her inside and headed to one of the guest rooms to lay her down. When he got into the room, he placed her on the bed, removed her shoes and stared at her face for a while before covering her up and was about to walk out of the room when she held him tightly. Logan looked at her, her eyes were still closed but was holding him very tight in her sleep. “Don’t go just stay with me” she murmured Logan sat close to her on the bed with her still holding his hand tight.Liam was certain that Richard did not qualify for it because he lacks a lot of skills. Except maybe grandfather wanted to hand it over to him, Liam smiled at the thought.“To my third son Richard I will hand over 2 of the companies he is in charge of to him, 3 ranges in the southern part of the country, 6 billion dollars and the second Donatello estate” The lawyer read from the will.Richard smiled and noddedReuben could see that he is the only one so far who was pleased with what he got, he just did not expect much from his father. For Andrew the second son he seemed calm and uninterested.“To my first grandson Xander, I will hand over just one of our companies abroad to him and a cash of 2 billion dollars, he will not get more because he ran away from his responsibilities” the lawyer read and looked at Xander whose head was down and said nothing.“From this, we can tell grandfather updated his will” Liam said with a smile.The lawyer continued “To my second grandson Liam, I will ha
The next day at exactly 10am, Freeman asked his right hand man to quietly escort the lawyer to the family hut without any one noticing. He had prepared everything in his late father's office to welcome the lawyer. He knows the lawyer will request him to call everyone over before the Will is read, but he already plans on holding the lawyer hostage and collecting the Will from him by force. Then after he reads it he will force the lawyer to do his bidding. Freeman was happy with his plan. He watched the car drive into the driveway and the lawyer stepped out from the car. “Hello, Mr Reuben, you are welcome to the Donatello family estate” Freeman stretched out his hand to shake him. Reuben is a tall man with blonde hair and is in his early 50s. The lawyer smiled and shaked him too “Thank you for having me, Mr Freeman Donatello” Freeman nodded “Let's go in” Reuben looked around “I can't see the rest of the family, are they perhaps inside?” Freeman smirked “Yes they are inside waiti
Liam had dragged all the items on a table to the floor in anger and this gained the attention of everyone in the reception.“You mean to tell me that you are not the one in charge of my grandfather's Will!!” Liam said not ashamed of what others who will hear him will think.Adam’s lawyer nodded "You have to calm down Mr Liam, your grandfather has another lawyer I met just once when I handed over his property management to him. I do not know if your father wrote a Will, only the lawyer can say”Liam clenches his fist.“What nonsense is this Liam!” Richard screamed at his son for the mess he had made.Liam ignored his father “I want the number of the lawyer immediately”“I’m sorry I do not have his number, if your father has a Will or not I’m sure he will contact you people in the due time” Liam approached the lawyer and held his shirt “You are a liar,!! I’m very sure you had planned with someone else in this family to deny it!!” Liam said in anger.“Stop it Liam!!” Andrew came in betw
“I already told you she has a cold and will be fine before the burial” Logan said to his mother.“Then I’m telling you that I want to take care of her, so I will go to your house,” Esmeralda said.“You do not have to do that because your mother, grandfather are just dead, why not focus on preparing for the family meeting since the extended family will be joining too and there is still the burial to prepare for. I have a live at home nurse who takes care of her and I also take care of her 24/7, also it’s not that serious” “It’s true my darling, you have to focus on other things and allow Logan to take care of his wife”Esmeralda wanted to protest but decided not to, she frowned at how Richard was quick to support his son. “fine”“I will take my leave now,” Logan said.“Please tell her that I asked of her and that she should get well soon”“I will” Logan bowed his head and left.When Logan left, Emeralda faced her husband.“Why did you support Logan so quick?” Emeralda scolded her husb
“No, that can’t be true, you have to go check again. Maybe it’s one of his tricks to escape” Logan said to the inspector, not wanting to believe it was true. “No he is really dead, he hanged himself”Logan’s hand felt stiffened and his breathing increased “My grandfather won’t kill himself”His grandfather is someone who loves life and has always wished to die naturally.“I know this is hard to believe but it is the truth. We are about to move his body. So I called to inform you as a family member”Logan sighed “Transport his body to our family hospital, he will be kept in the mortuary”“We will head there now, please do well to inform the rest of your family so they can come confirm his death”“Alright” Logan ended the call.Now he understood why his grandfather had said they will not meet again in this life and that he hopes they meet in another life. He had planned to kill himself.Logan headed down stairs and went to the breakfast table where Milana was already seated waiting for
The media carried the news of Adam Donatello’s arrest and it aired in all the news channels.Everyone in the city including the Donatello family all heard about his rearrest. Liam was heading to his office when he heard about it and he quickly called his father “Did you see the news father?”“I did”“What do you think about it?” Liam asked “I really do not know how to feel, I just want him to be okay because he is still my father no matter what” Andre said. “No father, I mean what do you think about his capture? We all knew that it will be impossible for them to find him since father has his people all over the country and the world at large, there is no way the police or anyone else would have been able to find him unless he allowed them to”“It’s true, but what are you driving out?” Andrew says.“I think someone snitched on him”“Snitched?”“Yes father, the place the police found him was in the middle of a desert with no building in sight but guess what, there was actually a comp
