Mr. Benjamin held his son’s hand and lifted it as a sign of victory. The court attendant echoed that each of the family has mixed feelings coursing through their veins.Detective William moved towards Jason. “Congratulations, you have finally got justice.” He said politely.“Thank you, Detective William.” He replied.Jason and his father stepped out of the courtroom, and the media team rushed towards him, bombarding him with several questions; he didn’t fail to give them an answer to their questions.~~~~~~~~Jason called for a small gathering at his mansion with his friends. Oscar Morgan, Loki, Elena, Nora and Zachary Reed were all present.It was a small get-together which he organised to thank his friends for their support in achieving his goals. Each one of them played a role in his life.The big polished mahogany table was filled with a variety of food and drinks. He got up and clinked the glass, calling their attention.“I want to thank every one of you for your support. It was

It was the day of the court hearing, the courtroom was buzzed with a mix of anticipation and tension. The air was thick with the weight of what was about to unfold.James Paterson, Lovina, Kelly Peters, and Jonathan were all standing behind the defendant’s table, their faces pale and hands clasped tightly together.Jason was seated with his father, Mr. Benjamin Lewis, and a few family members and friends were all around to witness the event of the day.The judge, an imposing figure, with a stern expression, called the court to order. They were asked to stand up. They rose to their feet with their heart pounding; each of them had mixed feelings boiling within them. James Paterson continues to stare at Jason with the side of his eyes. The hatred was still building within him; if he was allowed to act, he would kill Jason before going to prison.He couldn’t believe he had been defeated by the same person twice. Lovina hasn’t uttered a word since her arrest; the death of her son was sti

It’s been a week since the incident, and Jason and his father have gone back to normal. Jason was faced with more tasks in the office; he has been working hard and attending business meetings, which he has skipped with Clients. Life at the office was becoming more hectic by the day; the stock of the company continued to skyrocket higher, making the company maintain its top spot in the business world.Jason won several awards and endorsement deals with two different companies. His name becomes the talk of the town. His image is shown in some signposts.After several months of setbacks and unweaving determination, the day has finally arrived when Jason would have to unveil his project.He stood beside the restaurant, “Lewis Savour and Spice.” His heart swelled in pride as he took sight of the elegant facade, the chic signage gleaming in the afternoon sun. The air buzzed with excitement as guests from different places began to arrive and a red carpet at the entrance added a touch of gla

Kelly Peters and James Paterson both looked worried; the news about Patrick’s death had spread across the city like wildfire while Lovina survived the shot and was taken to the hospital; in some days, the court would decide her fate. James paced back and forth at a slow pace in the room; they were thinking of what to do while Jonathan sat down with his gaze facing downward. His eyes have swallowed after crying. He couldn’t believe Lovina would do such, and he blamed her for being careless. “What do we do, we can’t sit here all day doing nothing,” James said, with his voice tingling with sadness.“What do you expect us to do, you know what happened. I think we should lay low for the time being. We can’t tell what’s going on out there.” Kelly uttered with his voice barely above a whisper.“Where is Jez, why is he not here?” James asked, with a gaze at his uncle.“I don’t know, he is supposed to be here before now,” Kelly replied, staring at his wristwatch.James Paterson moved towar

The following morning, Lovina was worried; she hadn’t heard from Zander. His line had been unavailable; she couldn’t fathom what was happening. No news from Christian Rafael and Zander.Lovina was more determined to end everything. She woke up early checking through her phone to hear the news about Jason being dead, but there was none. She tried calling Zander but he wasn’t picking up. Her patience wearing thin.She took the bottles of poison she had kept for a long time, knowing Mr. Benjamin always likes having coffee every morning before stepping out. She thought about serving him his coffee by adding a little potion to it. Lovina was through with the mixture; she kept a determined face; she heard footsteps coming, and immediately, she inserted a little potion, after which she shook the mug of coffee to mix with the liquid. “Mom, what are you doing?” Patrick questioned.Lovina froze in shock, her hands trembling in fear of being caught by her son. She struggled with her words as

That night, Mr. Benjamin couldn’t come to terms with sleep. He was restless, his mind racing through several conflicting thoughts. He was still waiting for a response from the police, but nothing had been found. He paused back and forth in his study room with one of his hands clasped behind his back and the other hand he used to hold the wine glass.“Who could have done this to my son? Why will he always have to face difficulties.” He questioned inwardly. He sipped from his wine glass, consuming the liquid content slowly. He perceived a subtle knock on the door and turned his gaze to deduce who it was.When the door creaked open, Robert ambled inside with a saddened demeanor. He tilted his head while standing before Mr. Benjamin.“What is it? Did you find anything?” He questioned with his face etched with worries.Robert sighed softly, as he nodded negatively. “No, Master. We were unable to get anything,” he responded. Mr. Benjamin felt a surge of frustration coursing through his

“You need to stop taking this lightly,” he said. “Your health is declining faster than you realise. If you keep brushing it off… You won’t last long. Drinking is making things worse. Your kidneys are already strained. If you keep pushing your body like this, it won’t be the enemies outside that take you down, it’ll be what’s eating you from the inside.”“How did he figure this out?” Was he truly a doctor just as Ruddy said? Should I open up to him and seek his help?” Mr. Brian thought inwardly.But what surprised him the most was that Austin only looked at his palm and his eyes to know what was wrong with him. “Mr. Davis, you are right about everything you just said. I am sick and the doctor said I will not last long, but I can’t stop drinking, not with what I am going through every day. Take a look at my only son, always getting me into trouble, my business has not fully recovered after what happened some months ago.”The old man almost dropped in tears as he watched Austin who kept

Mrs. Sarah grabbed the documents and didn’t allow Monica to touch them. “Remember, you said I have been lazy. I have thought about it and don’t want to be lazy anymore, so I thought about going through the company’s documents because I want to know part of it.” Monica raised her brow as she stared at her mother for a moment, unsure of what to say. “I don’t understand, Mom. What are you planning?”Mrs. Sarah only smiled as she stared at Monica’s confused face. “What’s there that you don’t understand, I want to be part of the company. I will be taking the new role as Chief executive officer of the company.” Monica shook her head in disagreement. She couldn’t allow her mother to come into the company all of a sudden. She knew her mother was coming to the company because of something she couldn’t figure out. “No, Mom. You can just wake up one morning and decide you want to take a major role in the company. It’s impossible, I can’t allow that to happen.”She stared at Monica coldly, wi

He then turned to Antonio, Monica and Richard. “Go on your knees and apologise to Mr. Davis immediately, or I will have your legs broken.” He commanded.Monica felt a surge of shame and the weight of the situation pressing down on her. She couldn’t believe what she just heard, being asked to kneel and apologise to Austin.Could this be a dream?How did she get to this point? She knew better than to disrespect Mr. Brian’s command, not after what she had witnessed at his house a few hours ago. Richard looked frustrated and disappointed. He wished he had never uttered a word or never joined Monica, this wouldn’t have happened, his reputation had been ruined. While Antonio didn’t look disappointed, his inner rage was boiling; he believed his father had gone nuts, or else why would he ask him to kneel before a man whom he was supposed to kill for cutting off his hand? Why would he kneel before Austin just because he sent him out of his birthday party?Mr. Brian’s eyes were blazing with

Austin and Hannah had gotten home, and her gaze was blank as she stared at Austin intensely. “I am sorry for how things turned out,” he said apologetically.Hannah hurriedly shook her head, “No! It wasn’t your fault. She started it.” Hannah replied. She couldn’t tell what got into her that moment when she stood up to defend Austin. “But who is she? Why does she act like she knows you?” She asked, this was not her first time seeing Monica talking down on Austin, she remembered meeting her at the restaurant before now.Austin could only scratch his chin, as he thought of a way to explain it to Hannah. “We were supposed to get married, but things didn’t work out for both parties,” he began explaining how her father wanted her to get married to him, but Monica and her mother were against it, and they had to call off the wedding plans. He also started by being asked to get married and divorce her the same day so she could inherit her father’s property. Hannah paused for a moment as s

Hannah nodded without hesitation, “Yes, let’s go home.”Monica was excited after knowing Austin and Hannah would be leaving, “You shouldn’t have been here, you aren’t on our level.” “Level you say,” he chuckled. “I don’t think any of you are above me.” He replied. “Always bragging, that’s why I never liked him.”“You will regret sending me out,” Austin said confidently. Austin and Hannah left the hall, Monica felt excited that she had humiliated Austin. But she still felt a bit of disappointment from the wine that was poured on her.Mr. Brian came back into the house, he had been on the other side with some friends. His eyes flickered around the hall in search of Austin, but he couldn’t seem to find him or the lady he saw him with.He looked confused, as he stepped closer and asked the guard who had been standing by the side. “Mr. Austin and the lady left not long ago.”“Left,” Mr. Brian looked surprised. “Did he say anything before leaving?” “No, but Master Antonio sent him out.

“You can think whatever you want! I don’t need to tell him who I am to get invited to his event.” He replied staring at her with a cold gaze.“Always bragging!” She said, her eyes flickering from Austin to Hannah, a hint of jealousy swirling in her mind.Austin wasn’t in the mood for whatever she had in mind, he knew her coming towards his table was to piss him off. “You are right, Monica. I don’t have anything else to say.” He replied. Her lips parted open with a sneer. “I know you don’t need to tell me, you are nothing but a worthless maggot, a leech and a shameless lowlife.“How dare you talk to him with disrespect?” Hannah spat. She was furious and couldn’t watch Monica insult Austin.Not when she was there. Monica rolled her eyes with disdain as she stared at Hannah with her face mixed with contempt and malice. “And who are you talking to?” Monica spat. Hannah rose from he chair, her eyes blazing with fury, “I am talking to you.” She pointed at Monica without fear. “I am not
