Looking at the still-new grave, Steph could not help but cry. George was holding her on the side, and Mercy was crouching down to place flowers they brought. Looking at the well-painted name JACKSON ROBERT born in 1970, died in 2021. HUSBAND TO LATE SARAH JACKSON. FATHER TO STEPHANIE AND MERCY JACKSON. STEPFATHER TO JOHN AND SHEILA JACKSONOne could know if the gravestone was intentionally written or not, but Nicole Jackson was not featured.“Dad, I am here to see you again. I miss you. I will not let this lying down. Everybody involved in your demise must pay dearly. Wait for my news.” She then moved to the next grave that seemed a bit old. I have been more than 10 years since her mother died. She didn’t know what had happened at that time, but her dad said she was sick.He said she had cancer or something. Her mom was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen. The smile was enough to brighten one’s day. She also had Mercy place the flower on her grave.“Mom. It has been a month s
In the next few days, the will was read. As expected, he was working with Nicole. Everything was left in her name.Not even a cent was left to us, the real kids, the house, the company, and the hotel chain. Even her own kids were not included in the will.The degree of selfishness the woman had was beyond kinship.Steph did not say anything. She looked at how everything was going and stood on her feet, holding one of the clutches.She then asked patiently“Are you sure that is the will my father left?”“Yes.” replied the lawyer. Taking a closer look at the man, Steph repeated the same question again.“Are you really sure it’s his will?”“It’s his will, young lady. If there is nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”Steph did not look at them anymore and left to her room, taking a step at a time going upstairs.George was not around on that day. He had other plans on his endIf the people in the living room were keen, they would have noticed the smirk on her faceShe went to the bathroom, s
Two weeks after the will was read, things started to crumble in the company. The shares dropped. There was not enough money to keep the company afloat. The shareholders were selling their shares at a very low price. This is not something Nicole expected. The number of calls she received asking for their money back was absurd.“What is happening? The company was okay, according to the report I got.”Some of the shareholders under the influence of Steph reported Nicole and the company for fraud and embezzlement. Nicole did not see that coming.After a few days of investigating the company, it was determined that Sheila was involved in transferring money to her personal account and another foreign account.Sheila was then arrested for embezzlement and helped in the investigation of the foreign account. They did not see that coming. Most of the lending companies come for their money. Nicole was corneredIf there was someone who was watching the show from the sides, it was Steph. Every sin
A few days later With all the arrangements and preparations done, Mercy was sent abroad. Everything was settled. She was going to start her University life in a new country. Make new friends and find love if possible. At least, that is what Steph thought when she sent her out. What she did not know, she was creating a demon.Mercy had grown up and understood so many things that were happening. She has always been an observant girl from a young age. She felt sorry for her sister and how she was carrying everything on her shoulder.Heading to the airport. Waiting at the lounge for her plane to be announced for departure, she relaxed. Her mind was made up. She had to do everything to help her sister.‘She is sending me away for my safety. What about her own.’‘I will have to work hard and help her.’Though she was upset they were sending her to a foreign environment, she understood the situation was not good.A young, handsome, cold man sat besides her reading a newspaper. She was deep
After dinner, Mercy went back to her room to rest. From an earlier conversation with them, she learned a lot. They were under her sister and not George. They had to update her every day on how she was doing. Her eating, sleeping, and everyday mood.She saw the concern in her sister’s actions. She didn’t need to complain even if she didn’t like it. She had to live well and give her sister less trouble.She took her phone and called Steph.“Hi”“Hi”“Did you arrive well? How is the place? Do you like it?” every single word coming out of Steph was a concern.“Yes. I arrived safely, and I found the place good. It’s not much different from home.”“That’s good. Take care of yourself and be safe. If you need anything, just call your George or me if I am not available.”“It’s okay, sis. I’ll do everything you want me to do. I’ll take care.”“That’s good to hear. Simon and Muya are good people. They’ll take care of you. If you need, they’ll help”“Alright. Bye and take care. Got to go.”“Okay
In the next few weeks, Steph was able to walk on her own completely. She got the list of people involved with her father’s death.She had everything planned.She and George found something fascinating and disturbing about his parents. They were going to find out more about what happened.George drove into the mansion to pick her up. She wore black trousers with a black top and a black trench coat. It was cold, and a sign of drizzling could be seen in the air. George was getting used to her way of dressing and her cold face.He got out of the car and opened the passenger door for her. He then hugged and kissed her before he ushered her inside.“How is your morning?” George asked Steph as he got in on the driver’s seat.“It’s good.” She answered, getting her father’s diary from her bag. She has never been used to carrying a handbag around, so she got a backpack.“That’s great. I have not told anybody we are going home.” Denis informed her as he drove out of the compound. Since the house
Mr. and Mrs. Kiiru looked at each other before sighing. They looked panicked, and uncertainty was written all over their face. Mrs. Kiiru looked at her husband and received a nod from him.“Your mother was my friend. We used to go and hang out together and go shopping when we were younger.Smith was in love with her back then, but she fell for your father. That was a hit to Smith, and he harbored hatred for your mother and father. If there is someone who would hurt your parents, is Mr. SmithYes. The bar was ours, but it was managed by the Smith family. That was because it was not good for the governor to be associated with the bar. He entered into an agreement with the Smith family and handed management to them. We only get to read reports and our share sent to our account.That time Smith kidnapped your mother while we were shopping at the mall. I was the one who called your dad at that time and told him some men had taken her.He also received a call from Smith about him having his
She targets the one with fierce kicks first. She when hard on him and kicked him hard. She focused on him and made sure to kick his weapon away. The other two were attacking her from behind. She could not handle them all and fell down on the ground after being hit by both of them.There was nothing she could do about them but fight to keep her life“Why are you after me?” She never had any issue with anyone around the country at all.“Well, you should ask your sister. She killed our boss. It’s only fair we take one of her loved ones as well.”“What has that got to do with me?”“You are her weakness. She will hand you in our hands over the boss to us. “ One of the men ran his mouth and gave out their plan“That’s really bad. None of you are going back alive” she was not going to be a burden to her sister. She would rather die than put her in such a situationShe jumped on one of them, but his ears off, and jumped off him. The other two were stunned at her determination, but they were
