Minutes passed by and the groom was nowhere to be found.Lois covered her face in shame and cursed inwardly.‘Rieka isn’t a lucky child. Just imagine the dignitaries present at this wedding and yet the groom is not present.’‘Could it be someone is trying to humiliate my daughter?”The guests were tired and a voice rang out coldly.“Is this a scene in a movie?”Soon whispers filled the air.“We’ve been waiting for long, let’s just leave.”“The groom must have eloped.”Only the soldiers present in the hall remained calm.Just ten, they heard a blaring siren approaching.Soon, silence filled the air again.Tears were already welling in Rieka’s eyes. She bowed her head slightly in shame.A man cladded in his soldier uniform with many stars on it approached the podium and whispered to the clergyman.The man was the Grand Commander.At this point, the Grand Commander held the microphone, and happily, he said.“Today, we have two celebrations. Permit me to welcome the new Chief of Army Staf

Noah smiled, “Sincerely, she owns a dear place in my heart.” With a serious expression, Noah asked. “Do you think getting hitched with her again is a good idea?”Andy nodded. “Of course, she’s the only woman you’ve ever loved.”“Okay! Let’s have a quiet walk then.”Meanwhile, at the Fullams’ residence.“Can’t you talk sense to your daughter? Is this how she wants to end her life?”Lois uttered coldly as she looked at Jack.Jack tilted his head.“It is her life; her choice and I cannot influence her decision because you want me to.”Lois widened her lips and asked. “Are you serious?”Coldly, Rieka said. “Mom, I have a lot to deal with. What is all this about?”“If you wait from now till infinity, Noah will not welcome you into his life. Beauty fades, you have to give another man a chance. I’ve spoken to some rich folks and they all agreed to get married to you not minding that you are a divorcee.”After saying that, Lois angrily left.Rieka stared at the space. Thoughts of Noah grippe

“What?”Santos expressed and gave a mocking laugh. “Who do you think you are?”Just then, he pulled out a gun and pointed it at Noah.Andy and Giddy also pulled out their guns and pointed at Santos.“I have nothing against you. I can see your greed and selfish interest is what is making you want the position of the Chief of Army staff at all cost.”Slowly, Noah approached Santos.“One more step and I’ll pull the trigger.” Santos roared.Noah sighed and he took another step. Bang!Santos pulled the trigger.Swiftly, Noah dodged it.Thank goodness no one was standing behind him.“All that happened here has been recorded. It would be used against you. You are not even worthy to be called a soldier.”Noah uttered with a frown.“Against me? We’ll see about that.”Santos said confidently.“No matter what, being soldiers, we are one,” Noah said as his eyes scanned through everyone present. For no just cause, Santos Junek wants to get rid of me. From his action, you all can see that he is n

At that moment, Santos picked up his phone and placed a call.“Hi Santos, is anything the matter? You hardly call me.”“Jacob, I can see you know me well. We need to meet tonight, it's urgent.”Jacob was a high-ranked soldier and he was a member of the military council.All along, Jacob has been the one giving information to Santos about all that was happening because Santos handsomely rewarded him. Jacob was also a close friend of the former Chief of Army Staff.Now, he felt something was happening and he couldn’t figure it out. He had to hear from Jacob.Nevertheless, Jacob had assured him that he would become the next Chief of Army staff.Meanwhile, at the Supreme Ruler’s residence in the military base.Noah, Andy, and Giddy were standing.Noah rubbed his forehead and said, “This is more complicated than I had imagined. I don’t want to get rid of anyone but I can’t help but defend myself.”“I have a suggestion.” Giddy paused. Then he continued, “Let us visit Santos. Not to harm him

Noah glanced at the Grand Commander. The news about who will become the next Chief of Army was yet to be announced publicly.“I have an urgent assignment to do here and it has to be kept a secret. Apart from all of us here, who witnessed my arrival, no one must know that I have returned.”Noah was led to a large room. It was the Supreme Ruler’s room in Fristico.Ever since Noah left, no one had dwelled in the room. However, the maids always kept it tidied daily.Noah freshened up and sat on the couch as he stared at the space.Knock, Knock, Knock.Some knocked on the door.Noah had already made it clear that he wanted to be left alone till he said otherwise.Who then was knocking on the door?With a frown, Noah went to open the door.Noah welcomed a man and a woman in.“You, so you had plans of coming too. Why didn’t you just say it? Did you have to make it a surprise?”Noah said with a smile beaming on his face.“I had to come along with her. We can’t just leave you. You need us mor

“Santos Junek?” Lois replied with a smile.“I have never heard of that name before. Why will he take interest in me without approaching me for once?” Rieka said with an arched brow.Lois sighed, “It’s possible you’ve not been paying attention to other men because of Noah. He gave me his card so anytime you are ready to see him, it is just a call away. I also heard he is a military man. From the convoy I saw accompanying him, I can confidently say he is far richer than Noah. Getting hitched with him will make Noah regret ever treating you in this manner.”“Hmm!” Rieka reasoned with what Lois said. A thought of revenge crept into her heart.Why was Rieka having such thoughts? Having a relationship with someone wasn’t by force.“Give me his card, I’ll call him. I want to get some information from him.”Rieka asked politely.Lois picked a card that was on the table and handed it to Rieka.So fast, Rieka picked up her phone and called the number which was on the card.“Hi, It’s Rieka. My

The Carls focused on the TV, they recognized one of the men but remained quiet.“I am Francis Gad, the only survivor of Gad's family. I can stand before the world because I have defeated my enemies.”“Fred Hills, Quinn Jakes and Royce destroyed my family and took over my family business. With immediate effect, I am taking it all back.”“You don't have to worry about their sudden disappearance! They have met their loophole.”“An end has come to the their atrocities!"Francis' words made viewers dumbfounded!The Carls were astonished!Francis truly played his identity games well.None of them ever suspected his identity!“That'll be all for now, a new season is upon us.”The news session ended.Jakes, Fred and Royce's family relocated from the city because they couldn't bear the shame.Just then, Francis received a call from an unknown number.“Hello,” he said as he answered the call.“Son, thank you for fighting for justice.” The voice on the other end said.“Aunt Anna, it's good go he

“Show yourself and stop the prank.” Francis summoned the courage to speak.At that moment, the lights suddenly came on. Four men were standing in the opposite direction.“It was you all along,” Royce said angrily. “You killed my daughter.”“Dying with your family years ago would have been best for you.” Fred spoke, shaking his head.Jakes was impatient. “Let's get rid of him, enough of the talk.”“Are you no longer interested in knowing if he has some inheritance!” Andrew smiled slightly.Then Andrew added, looking at Francis. “What do you have to say?”Francis frowned, “The only thing I have to say is that you all will die today to atone for your sins.”They all burst out laughing.“We'll end your life and you won't have a proper burial.” Royce said through gritted teeth.Just then, a bullet was fired and it landed on Francis’ arm, bruising him slightly.At the same time, Francis could hear Eric voice via the hidden recorder asking if they should intervene but Francis' silence meant

‘Worry less about my husband.’ Evelyn said within her but didn't send a reply. ‘I will discover what you are hiding.’Meanwhile, Francis was seated in a room with two fierce looking men standing before him.The men were Eric and Briggs. They were Williams trusted spys with years of experience in Marital arts so Francis was confident to work with them.“Anything else?” Francis asked with an unreadable expression.Eric glanced at Briggs, then he said. “Jakes, Hills and even the underworld boss, Andrew have been investigating about the Gad survivor but they are yet to get something tangible. They even placed a bounty for anyone who can bring you to them.”“Alright,” Francis responded casually.“There is a more terrible problem at hand.” Briggs quickly added.“What problem?” Francis queried with a deep tone.Briggs explained, “Jakes Enterprise and FH concept have signed a deal with a strange investor from overseas to sell off kids and women to a mafia lord. This is the reason for the sudd

“What is there to know about you other than you are wretched?! I am Sandra Golts, the new manager of this hotel. There are one hundred and one reasons for you to apologize to me!” The fat woman lashed out angrily.Francis had never heard of her name before and hearing it at the moment was as good as useless.Francis crossed his arms over his chest and spoke. “Out of the numerous reasons you have, mention just one.”“I won’t waste my time on such. Wait till the guards get here.” Sandra glared at Francis. While Evelyn was scared and pleading with Sandra, Francis placed a call an ensured it was on speaker.“Hello, Sir Williams. The new manger at the hotel disrespected me, I guess she wasn’t scrutinized before she got the job. Terminate her appointment.” Francis uttered and Sandra took it as a joke.“What a good way to make yourself happy? It’s not so easy to have Sir. Williams contact.” Sandra laughed out loud. “I need to get the guards.”“Shut up Sandra! You are fired.” A familiar voic

Dina’s burial went smoothly. Royce was in his house with two middle-aged men.One was Fred Hills who owns FH Concept and the other Quinn Jakes who owns Jakes Enterprise.All the companies formerly belonged to the Gad’s; after destroying their family, they took over the companies and changed the names.“How could there be a survivor? We ensured they were all destroyed without any trace.” Fred said with his voice etched with confusion.“Hmm! We need to act fast; this might just be the beginning.” Quinn spoke.“I don’t care whoever survived, we need to meet with the underworld boss as fast as possible. I want justice for my daughter. The CCTV at the company didn’t cover anything!” Royce spoke angrily.***In the Carls’ mansion.“Who could have killed the daughter of a powerful business tycoon? ““The person must be a hardened criminal.”The Carl’s discussed among themselves.Just then the discussion was diverted to Jacelyn.“It has been days and Francis hasn’t returned to tell us about

Days ran by and Francis finally came out after spending forty-eight hours indoors.He was looking outside via the window when Williams walked in.Williams greeted and gave him a sheet of paper.Staring at the paper, Francis wore a disappointed look.“They changed my father's company name to Felex Brand.” He muttered. “They must pay with their blood.“Francis, now that you know your enemies, should I get professional men to get rid of them?” Williams asked coldly.He chuckled before responding. “Making their death easy isn't part of the plan. You witnessed it all, did they make the death of my parent easy?” In response, Williams shook his head.“I will handle this myself.” Francis made it clear.He informed Williams that he had something urgent to attend to.Francis left the house for a destination best known to him.On the other hand, Dina was seated in her office with her leg crossed over the other. She had her phone glued to her ear.“Are you serious?” She asked the person on the o
