Austin brought out a small bottle from his pocket and threw it at Antonio, who caught it. “What is this?” He asked his eyes darting from the bottle to Austin.Austin walked forward and pointed at the three bottles of water on the table.“I poisoned all three of them, because I knew when you are under tension you always drink water to quench your nervousness.”Antonio was taken aback in shock and was immediately alerted.He held his throat as if forcing the water out of his mouth. “What have you done? How could you poison my water? I am going to kill you.” A cold sweat drenched his forehead.“I have the antidote with me, but I will only give it to you if you tell me why you wanted to kill your father?” At that moment, Antonio was terrified. He couldn’t believe he had drunk poison. Why would Austin do that to him? His body was trembling slightly.He shouted angrily, “Doctor!” He called out in panic. “Austin, give me the antidote I don’t want to die.” He said as he trembled slightly.

Austin’s step came to a halt, “I smell something fishy, everything he stated has nothing to do with my pills, someone is trying to kill him..”Ruddy looked puzzled, unsure of what to say. His mind raced through several possibilities.He gazed at Ruddy blankly and said, “I can help him, but that will be in secret. I won’t want to alert anyone, because whoever did this would come after him again when he or she finds out he is alive.”Ruddy nodded in understanding, before he said, “How would he do that without alerting even his son? What if something bad happens?” Ruddy thought as doubts crept into his mind.“What do you suggest we do?” “I have a plan.”Meanwhile, Antonio went outside the hospital, he went towards his car, and a call came into his phone.“How is it going?” The caller asked the moment he answered. “He is here, everything is working as planned.” He grinned evilly.“That’s perfect, I told you the plan will work out. I have some men track that illegitimate stepbrother of y

When Austin walked towards the ward, he found Ruddy standing, stepping out of the room. His face was etched with worry.Mr. Dave, you are here! Please come inside.” Antonio stepped forward and blocked Austin’s path, “Uncle, you can’t let him inside, he is the reason why my father is lying in there.Ruddy frowned as he said coldly, “He is not. I believe something else happened; you should let him in.”Despite what was happening, Austin maintained a composed demeanor. He could only stare at the face before him. After several back-and-forths and threats from Ruddy, Antonio finally let go, his face flushed in rage. He feared that if Austin stepped inside, he would revive his father, and he didn’t want that to happen, not when his father had threatened to bring his other son, Dylan, to take over from him.“I hope you won’t hurt my father when you step into that room.”Austin glanced at Ruddy who gave him an approving nod, “Go in, Mr. Dave.” He whispered.After Austin entered, Ruddy and A

Seeing that his father was mute, Antonio knew he had gotten him where he expected. He continued, “Father, I will also try to make peace with Hannah and everyone I have offended, after which I will cut off from all my useless friends and always be at the office.” Mr. Brian looked unsure if he was hearing a new word from his son. What were his true intentions?Mr. Brian knew that if Antonio did as he had just said, it would be difficult for him to make a decision between his two sons.“Are you serious, or is this another way of holding me back from bringing my other son?”Antonio was envious; it was obvious that his father had already made contact with his other son, and if he came over, everything would be given to him on a platter of gold.“No, father, you can bring him home. He is also my brother and your son, I don’t have any grudge against anyone. We are family, and I will also learn from him.” Antonio knew very well that that was the only way to convince his father so as not to

That night, Antonio stepped into his father’s study, calm on the outside but boiling with unease.He had waited too long to claim what he believed was rightfully his. The words his father had said to the doctor about the pill kept echoing in his head.Each day, his father was getting younger, and each sight of him being alive made Antonio frustrated that he wished he could do something.Just as he walked inside, his father was smiling and talking over the phone with someone he couldn’t tell but he suspected it was someone his father was flirting with.“Good evening, Dad.” He greeted.Mr. Brian reciprocated with a wave and smile. He ended the call and forward as he stared at his son. “Why are you here?”“You should at least offer me a seat before you question me?” he hurriedly replied.Mr. Brian sighed softly and then gestured for his son to sit. He couldn’t take his eyes off Antonio.“Are you even my father?” Antonio abruptly asked.His question caught Mr. Brian off guard, so he had

Austin glanced at Lucy, he could tell she was surprised. The gift he gave Patricia was nothing to him. At that moment, he glanced at his phone screen.“I need to leave, someone is waiting for me.” He said getting up from his seat.Seeing that Patricia got up, “Austin, you should stay for a few minutes, we just got started.”Austin nodded, “I am sorry, but it’s urgent.” He pulled the chair away. Just when he was about to take a step, Lucy called out to his name and he turned towards her. “Austin, I am going with you.”Anderson’s face turned dark, and he couldn’t believe Lucy was going with him when he was there.“Lucy, why not stay with us. I can drive you home later.”“I have something to do at the hospital,” she hurriedly replied, and then turned to Patricia and apologised, before walking behind Austin.Anderson’s hand curled into a fist as he stared at them with anger bubbling within him.“Fuck off.” He yelled at Johnson, whose gaze was fixed on him.Inside the car, Lucy kept loo

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
