The meeting was getting tensed up and the investor were all angry, ready to pull out their shares from the company, not like the money could not be refund but it was a breech of agreement to stop production suddenly. It was a food chain company, ever since the products started getting tampered with by their competitors production had to stop but the investors were not informed “For three months, there haven’t been any production, any supply-my money is in this company!” A round old man bald man all dressed in suit and tie angrily spoke “The company took a hiatus, like I said the CEO had here reasons for that and very soon operations would resume” a lady explained, she was the deputy CEO “The whole point of what you are trying to say is that this company is not trust worthy, one minute you are in business and another you are out?” “I didn’t say such” the pet

The security men exchanged looks between each other and then to Judy “What did you just say about a robbery attack?” Just when Judy was about to tell the security guard that Dante was the ex-convict that was on the news some weeks ago, she feared at how petty she could be. “Did you see this Mr Camry with a gun or something?” the security asked again as they seriously waited on Judy to say something, anything at all instead of leaving then wondering how a robbery attack would soon happen in the hospital “Uhh, my bad” Judy closed her eyes “I guess it’s dejavu or my screen time is getting too much” “You said a robbery attack was about to happen here-“ “It’s in the movies, my bad-I saw a movie yesterday, sorry to scare you both” Judy replied “You didn’t scare us” one of the security cleared his throat “You infact might be leading us on false information” “Look I barely even know that guy okay? I just met him today at the hospital although we go back from childhood, coinc

Dante ran down the stairs breathlessly, he took it two each jump when no one was looking or close sight, but when he saw someone walking up the stairs he pretended to be composed and walked down the stairs pretentiously. If should incase the officer looked at the CCTV there was every possibility he could have spotted him taking Theo’s name tag and even Judy’s keycard so he needed to leave the hospital as soon as possible, he already got what he needed, Quinn’s phone number. On the fourth floor, a security man was talking into a walkie talkie “A laboratory scientist disguise?” the person at the other side of the device replied “Over, clear fourth floor” The man turned to Dante who was standing to hear more, he glared at Dante like as if to ask why he was standing and looking at him like he saw a ghost. “May I help you?” The security man inquired “Uhh no” Dante stuttered, he swallowed down nervously as he made his way to continue walking down to the third floor “The tracke

Dante took stride with his very good legs like a laboratory scientist to the staff room, as he got to the door he fumbled for the key card he collected from Judy without her contest and the slot it on the door, it turned from red to green. Dante smiled from ear to ear, although it was hidden behind his nose mask he couldn’t hide his happiness as he did a happy dance move with his leg while he entered the room. The room was actually a room to other rooms, in fact Dante was very confused, he was never expecting to meet another door? Nevertheless he maintained his calm and walked through the quiet hallway as another staff approached him “Good day” she nodded as she passed Dante who was ensure of how to respond nodded likewise with a slight bow as he continued walking to where he didn’t even know. The door where closed and from his guess Judy key card could open any door, he was actually anticipating entering through the main door in the first place but that moment his heart began

Dante didn't know what exactly to say to the nurse standing in front of him, the other day she had been nice to him that was the reason for the flowers, chocolate and wine he had ordered for her and not because he had any ulterior moltive towards her. “Can I have your number please?” Dante asked in a gentle man style, his voice was charming, and he was handsome as well, his long hair alone made him an eye looker “Sure” the nurse took his phone and typed her number into his phone, then she gave it back to him, she had already saved it as “Judy” with love emojis. That’s right her name was Judy, It was just then that Dante recalled. “I would give you a call” Dante told her even so he made a mental note to not call at all, his love was already a mess and he need not involve her in it. “I would soon be done with my shift, could you wait a little let me round up then we can go have lunch” she asked politely “-together, please” she added right there Dante wanted to decline her request

Dante took slow strides limping into the hospital, the last time he was there his leg was really bad that he didn’t have to pretend to be limping. That day he was heavily disgraced and he even cried after the incident with Ellie and her mother accusing him of stealing her diamond necklace when it was Nurse Quinn who took it.Dante never knew he was in fact a very skilled pick pocket until hours ago when he took the herb, he was able to recall a memory from his past, now he was on the move and he had a plan.“Uhh I have a physiotherapy appointment today with my nurse” Dante lied to the receptionist“Uhh, hold on a sec” she paused as she typed on the laptop “Your name please and Hospital card?”“Dante Willow” he blurted, for the hospital card he had misplaced it “I didn’t bring it along with him, I was here last month receiving treatment, my leg suddenly started paining me this morning, that was why I rushed down here”The receptionist looked at him“You were assigned to nurse Quinn”

Leon walked briskly into Senator Alex’s office. The air smelled faintly of polished wood and expensive cologne.He didn’t waste time on pleasantries.“I need you to send the divorce papers to Tara Vorene,” he said, voice sharp, eyes scanning the room.Alex blinked, uneasy. “Are you sure about this? She-““She knows nothing. Make it clean, no drama,” Leon interrupted, hand pressing a folder onto the desk.Alex hesitated, then reached for his tablet to finalize the documents.That’s when Leon’s eyes caught it, a framed photo on Alex’s side table.A charity gala. Crowds. Smiles. And… a woman.Her face was familiar.His breath hitched.A birthmark. On her collarbone. The same one.Leon’s mind reeled. The fire. Smoke choking his lungs. The heat.

Papers scattered.Alex noticed the change “Leon?

Judge Stanley breath fogged the car window as he parked outside a remote estate Far away from the city, from people, from law.The metal gate stood tall and rustedBut the security cameras watching his every move were brand new.He swallowed hardHe hadn’t been here in five years.After a long pause, he rolled down the window and spoke into the old stone intercom“It’s Stanley Craig” his voice shaky There was no response, silence The gate rolled open Stanley drove in slowly, every instinct screaming to turn back but this was the best thing to doArmed men lined the walkwayNot policeNot militarySomething in between, trained men who knew how to use a gun and do other jobsHe stepped out of the carHis legs felt weak One of the guards patted his body from shoulder to toeSearching him before jerking his head toward the entrance“He’s waiting”Inside, the air smelled of cedarA man sat near a fireplace, cigar smoke rising lazily around himThe man name is Valen Mercer Old money,

Tara steadied herself, masking her surprise “Alfredo is not here because of what you did to him” Sir Chio continued Tara could feel the eyes of all the board members on her “Alfredo tried to-“ “The board appointed him the CEO because of your incompetence, you got jealous and decided to beat him up”Everyone gasped “That’s not the reason! Alfredo tried to take advantage of me!” Tara spat out angrily but it seemed like Sir Chio already knew, he just wanted to turn things around Sir Chio tapped a single finger on the polished tableThe room fell silent “Tread carefully, Miss Vorene” he murmured. “You are accusing Alfredo my son for something he will never do”Tara clenched her jaw “If perhaps you raised him right, he would know not to touch a woman when she disagrees” The room suddenly became noisy with silent whispers“Who dares talk to Sir Chio that way?” one of the board member whispered “Tara is spoiling for trouble” another whispered back “Silent!” Sir Chio shouted, hitting

Rain fell hard against the windshield of Judge Stanley’s carHe gripped the steering wheelHid knuckles pale, his heart was pounding like It felt like he was on a ticking clock Two weeks, and everything he has will be goneSuddenly, his phone rang “Bloody hell, don’t call me” the judge mumbled thinking it was another personBut when he glanced at the caller ID, his face lightened up a bit It was his son “Dad-“ his voice was shaky “Ethan? What’s wrong” Judge Stanley asked “I…I got suspended” Ethan breathed out “Someone reported me.”Stanley blinked “Reported?
