Chapter 16 Ansel's POV "Why will she leave me the way she did", I asked myself now getting annoyed at her. I wanted to stand up to go check up on her since she left about 20 minutes ago but I decided against it and also I saw Gloria moving towards the restroom so Violet should be fine. "So how far with the expansion you told me about", a business partner in a grey suit asked me, my mind was in more than one place. "Yeah, I'm on it, my research and development team have started worked and...", I replied him immediately and we got into a business conversation that lasted about 10 minutes. I had just concluded my last point with him when I sighted an old pal, I stood up with holding my wine in my right hand and moved towards him to greet him and have a chichat, we were in the middle of it when I felt a arm around my neck. "What is it this time around?", I asked in a harsh tone without turning back, her cologne gave her away. "Common, Ansel love can't I greet you?", Sofia asked me
Chapter 17Violet's POV"Who is Jim?", I asked out of fear seeing how their reactions are nowFirst it was Gloria and now Ansel.I hadn't gotten over my experience with Sophia."Oh sweetheart, that's someone you never want to meet", Gloria said."But you don't need to be so fearful love, we got you", she said to further placate me who has been tensed up since she saw I Sophia and Ansel together.If only Ansel could understand what I had been through today just within this few hours, also why do I have to be kept safe again."Who are these people for real?", I asked myself and there I decided that I and Ansel will need to have a sit down."Why is Jim here?", Ansel quizzed Gloria"I don't know boy, time will tell but firstly we need to get Violet to safety", she said as she held me closer looking into his face.Ansel picked up his phone."Hello, where are you?", he started the conversation and moved a few distance from us, who he is speaking to I don't know."Henry is on his way", he sa
Chapter 18Ansel's POV"Hello, where are you?", I placed a call through to Henry and moved a few distance from Violet and Gloria."Still at the party bro, anything?", Henry asked"Jim is here", I told him"Fuck!!!, we need to get Violet out now", he said"Yeah, my plan exactly", I replied"Better, meet me at the underground basement", he said and hung up."Henry is on his way", I said to Gloria and Violet though facing Gloria when I got back to where I left them earlier. "Better", Gloria said.We soon got to Henry who helped us out with his bullet proof car.I looked at Violet's eyes and all I could see was panic but I let it slide, all I was concerned about was her safety.Their car moved out of the underground parking lot, while I and Henry hurried back into the party venue."Keep your eyes on Jim when he gets in and be prepared", I said to Henry as we got into the party again."Plus act cool bro", I added."Noted", he replied.We split up immediately, I went towards Mr. Ross to s
Chapter 19Gloria's POVI staggered back a bit and was so shaken when I heard what had happened.I called back to get a full glimpse of what had happened and called Ansel but he wasn't picking up immediately.I took Violet's food alongside with me as I was going to her room. I had planned to stay through the night but I believe that's not gonna happen for now, for real Violet needs someone by her side tonight but there are more pressing issues to attend to."What happened within the hour we left the party and now?", I asked myself."Was it Jim?", I asked again as I got no reply since it's just only me.I opened the door and went to the bedside where Violet had been sitting all along so innocent and oblivious of what's presently happening."Now the food is done", I said smiling, Violet simply smiled back, obviously she didn't suspect a thing and it's better it remained that way, she's been through quite enough already and seeing how she feels so safe around Henry, I believe she will be
Chapter 20Violet's POVIt's been two days since Gloria left the house, there has been no much activities from me except eating, reading and just sleeping, I soon got so bored of everything and decided to move around the house the third day, I left the room immediately after my bathe and moved outside the house, I wanted to have a view of the external house, I satisfied my curiosity and sat outside close to the swimming pool in the compound.I ruminated over the whole thing."Is this how I'm going to continue for real?""My family, am I ever going to see them again?", I asked myself cos it wasn't making sense anymore.I need to call my mom and if possible see her but what will I tell her, I never knew but I need to speak to her.I went to the room to pick up the phone."Hello", she said but I couldn't reply immediately."Who is on the line please?", she asked again but I couldn't reply her, maybe it's because of the dangers lurking around or because of what Ansel may do when he finds
Chapter 21Violet's POV"Thanks mom", I said as I collected the tea from her, I sipped gently like thrice before looking up at her as she sat directly in front of me."What's up with you love?", she asked."Nothing much mom, I just took a break from everything", I said to convince her but she wasn't convinced, "no Violet, something is wrong and you have to tell me", she insisted."Mom I said I'm fine, you know things are kinda so stressful these days so I believe a break is good for me", I said trying to make her leave the topic. "I won't take that answer girl, it's been long since I saw you, your line wasn't going anymore which got me totally worked up because we were attacked, if you had not reached out to me I would have still be so worried sick about you", she said with a serious look."So speak up girl, I'm your mom", she urged me when I did not reply."Ok mom, I will speak", I finally said."My job has been very tasky and crazy so I had to quit it plus I needed to focus on the
Chapter 22Ansel's POVI was very angry and felt like hitting her but I am not a monster, I may be mean but not so stupid to beat a woman.The mention of her mom's place made me annoyed at her, I understand that fact that she's missed her mom so much but going to her mom now has increased the red alert on her as those who carried out the attack on her family are still very much around and they would have attacked her this evening if my guys had not interfered and quell every threat against her, there was a guy in front of her house who is an enemy agent, my guys were able to suppress him and had taken him to a particular location which I will have to go tonight.Gloria had saved her skin tonight, I may not hit her but she wouldn't have had it easy."Come up Violet", she said with a stern look.Violet moved up the stairs to her saving grace, I sat back on the chair closest to me."You know she is right to have gone back to her mom", I heard the voice from upstairs, I looked up with kee
Chapter 23Ansel's POVI moved still farther away from them and sat at a table not too far and sipped a drink gently as I watched events unfold.Mr. Shelkov's son has collapsed and they were trying to resucitate him but all proved abortive, they rushed him outside."I believe there is no need for that as all I need from you is a single thing and u will give your son his antedote", I said as I got to the garage, I had followed them out so as give the boy his antedote and also get antedote for my friend. "You poisoned my son", Mr. Shelkov said with great surprise written all over his face, his guards pointed their guns at me."Calm down, I'm not here for violence, all I just need is something from you and I will save your son", I said raising up my hand."Get the bastard", he screamed, they all came at me at once, I sent a hard punch into the stomach of the first attacker and he went down spiraling on the floor groaning in serious pains.Others attacked but the were never my match, I s
