141 • Don't Go Easy
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire/Edam Knight
Vanessa was surprised to see Amelia here, she was a frequent member at this country club and she knew that Amelia was not a member. Clutched her purse and then walked forward, making a beeline towards the table where Amelia was seated. Tiffany struggled to follow behind her. “What in the world are you doing here?” Vanessa questioned her with venom in her tone. Amelia only adjusted her glasses slightly, a smirk playing on her face. “I don't understand Vanessa since when did you become the guardian of the lake shore country club? I'm doing whatever the person here is doing, socializing and having fun.”Even though Amelia was wearing dark shades Vanessa could still see the deception in her eyes. “I know you're lying, you were never really a good liar Amelia.”“Oh please Vanessa don't act like you know me.”“Whatever it is that you're planning, stay away from me.”Amelia got on her feet closing the gap between the both of them. “Did you stay away from me when you had my company blown

The sound of the doorbell ringing resonated in the air and Lindsay immediately put down the broom she was using to sweep the main entrance. She stuck her head through the doorway as soon as she reached the entrance to check who was by the gate. “Hey!” She called this security man to get his attention. There's somebody at the gate and you're sleeping, imagine if Charles finds you like this or even Madame Amelia herself.”The security guard immediately straightened up, blinking repeatedly to rid himself of the remnants of sleep in his eyes. As soon as he came out of the security house and was by the gate, he looked through the spaces in the horizontal bars.A small frown formed on his face. He looked back at Lindsay. “It’s our neighbors, the Winchester's, what do I do?”Her eyes almost popped out of her sockets. “Why are you asking me what you're going to do? It's almost like you live under a rock. You know how much madam Amelia hates those people, you can't let them in,” Lindsay decla

The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire/Edam Knight
The air was thick with tensions as everybody gathered to watch. It wasn't just about the fact that Amelia was going up against one of the best chess players in the country but it was also about the 40 million that Vanessa and Amelia had placed a bet on.Everyone was dying to know if Amelia would actually be able to pull this off. She took her seat directly opposite him, crossing her legs and taking an elegant pose.The small confident smile on her face made Christopher intrigued. “You seem very bold,” he said to her while taking his proper posture.She cleared her throat. “Oh I am, because I never lose,” she replied in a soft voice.Christopher smirked a little bit, “okay then let's see about that,” he shot back and themade his first move, after which he hit the timer.Amelia adjusted on her seat, analyzing the board before she made him move and also hit the timer.Christopher smiled. “You're good, that's impressive, most people would have fallen for that trap,” he said, noticing that
144 • The Red Vipers Never Forgive
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire/Edam Knight
Matthew's wounds had not healed completely so he could not drive on his own. He sat in the back seat while Charles drove him to the beach house. It was a long drive but they eventually arrived at the beach house and parked near the house. They pressed the doorbell and Henry was a bit skeptical to check the door but when he saw it was Matthew and Charles he immediately opened it “I've been waiting for you two to arrive,” he remarked as they were entering the house. “The traffic in town was crazy,” Charles replied. “Matthew, I hope you're recovering?” Henry asked. “Yes I am, thanks for asking.” They stepped inside. “So what can we do about the red vipers? What other information do you have that can be of help to us?” Matthew inquired, going straight to the point as they walked into the house. “There's this club that they own in New York, till now it's still very functional and most of the big guys are there. Maybe you can start from that club.” “What's the name of this club?”“

“Well I suppose the only way to know if you're hypnotized is by noticing the signs because other than that there is really no way to test for hypnosis.”Matthew thought about it deeply. “Okay then, but you say you can help people to regain their memory, correct?”The doctor nodded. “Of course I can, it's a tricky process and you have to exercise a lot of patience but it is possible.”He was quiet for a while, “In that case, I'm interested,” he replied. The doctor got up from her seat. “If you can just come with me please,” she requested and he got up from his seat.She ushered them into an inner room where there were so many gadgets and machines. From the setup of the room it was quite obvious that she was a renowned Doctor who knew what she was doing. “You can sit there please,” she said, instructing him.He settled down on the seat and was waiting for her while she was configuring the machine, then she looked over her shoulders at him. “Come lie down here.” She pointed at the bed w
146 • Not Picking Calls
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire/Edam Knight
Vito and Ashley were in the condo unit as usual. Ashley looked a little distressed and she paced back and forth. “Vito, he's not picking my calls,” she said softly. Her friend shrugged, “maybe he's just busy.” Ashley shook her head. “Darrell has never been too busy to pick my calls. I think he's ignoring me on purpose.”Vito reached out and grabbed the TV remote, reducing the volume. “Why would you think he would do that to you?” Ashley let out a sharp breath and then she gently settled on the couch, running her fingers through her hair in frustration. “We had a huge fight yesterday and I think he's still angry with me.”“Well what was the fight about?” She asked her friend. “He thinks I'm cheating on him.” Vito almost laughed loudly, “but you are.”Ashley shot her a deadly look which made her compose herself instantly. “I am but he doesn't need to know that.” Their conversation was interrupted by the sound of the doorbell ringing. Vito looked at Ashley, “are you expecting any
147 • Dispelling Illusions
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire/Edam Knight
The next morning Amelia was dressed up and she looked very happy to be going out. Charles saw her trying to pick out a handbag and he couldn't help but ask. “What has got you feeling so excited, Mrs Houston?”“Oh it's all part of my revenge plan. I'm taking everything away from Vanessa one step at the time.”“Everybody is talking about you in the country club, all the other rich people have a lot to say about you.”She raised her shoulders. “As they should.”She grabbed a perfume from her locker and doused herself with it, “now if you'll excuse me I have to go.”With her birkin bag in her hand she walked out of the building and into the car heading straight for the Lake shore country club. When she arrived the place was a bit lively bustling with activity. A few people were playing chess, others were playing poker and others were just engaged in conversation. Her heels clicked on the floor as she walked deeper into the place and Christopher quickly spotted her from the distance and

Deciding to take her mind off things , Vanessa went over to the poor area so she could swim. “Tiffany bring my swimsuit so I can change in the bathroom,” she instructed her. Without missing a beat Tiffany nodded and then made her way to the car so that she could get Vanessa's swimsuit. While she was waiting Vanessa brought out her phone and started to check on some things. She received a text message that popped up. “We have a problem.” The message read and she simply just ignored it, locking her phone and taking a deep breath. It seemed to have such a huge and quick effect on her mood that she was already frowning. She was still trying to straighten her back when Tiffany returned with the swimsuit and she immediately grabbed it. “Thank you,” she replied and then she took the swimsuit and went into the bathroom.While she was in the bathroom she changed into her swimsuit and as she was coming out she tried to adjust it as it was feeling too tight against her skin. On her way to t
149 • Bathroom Battles
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire/Edam Knight
Amelia was in the bathroom and she was washing her hands with the faucet when the door suddenly clicked open and Vanessa walked in. She slowed down a bit when she saw Amelia inside the bathroom. She moved to the water faucet beside her. “I see you've come here to rub shoulders with everybody else and try to fit in where you don't belong.”When Amelia was done washing her hands she took the paper towels to dab them dry. “I'm one of the richest people in this country. If there is anybody who belongs in this country club it's me.”Vanessa covered her mouth as she faked a yawn. “Oh please Amelia get off your high horses you're not the only billionaire in New York.”She let out a sharp breath, her nostrils flaring. “Do you have anything particular you want to say to me, or have you just come here to get under my skin and irritate me like you usually do?”It was a clear read and the silence that stretched out between them was already enough to answer Amelia's question.“If you'll excuse m

The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire/Edam Knight
Enzo walked into the club, his eyes scanning the scenery. Just like Amelia has instructed, he didn't go with a weapon.His goal was to blend in like any other everyday patron and to get an inside scope of the place, perhaps find out who runs the place and get clues about their connection to Matthew's kidnapping. He wore his sun shades to conceal his eyes and prevent them from betraying his emotion and then he sat down on a stool. The sun shades performed a dual function because it helped him look around without anybody noticing that he was staring at them. “Two shots of whiskey please,” he said to the barman. The music was pulsating in his ears and he continued to look over his shoulders, Careful not arouse any suspicion. From the periphery of his vision he spotted two men walking into an inner section of the club, they had snake tattoos on their arms and they looked rugged.Immediately the barman passed the shots over to him he downed them within seconds and then placed the empty
