151 • One of New York's Rich Men
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire/Edam Knight
Ashley felt a little uneasy when she stepped into the club her heart was racing as she looked around. The stench of alcohol and tobacco immediately greeted her nostrils, making her scrunch her face in disgust. “Vito, what are we doing here?”Her friend turned to face her. “You're the one that said I should link you up with people right? Well one of my friends told me about this gig.”Ashley had always been a greedy person and she wasn't afraid to sleep with a man for money but being brought to the club like an animal on auction made her feel like a whore. “Who are we going to meet here anyway?”“Relax he's one of the rich men in New York, he needs someone to pass the night with and you fit his description. If you satisfy him and he likes you you might even keep you around long-term just like Edward is keeping me. Imagine all the money he would give you, imagine going shopping.”Suddenly Ashley's mood started to brighten up when she began to think of all the shopping sprees she could
152 • To Hurt to Think
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire/Edam Knight
Matthew was at home with Amelia when Enzo came walking into the room. Amelia had already told him about what Enzo had seen in the club earlier and Matthew was not surprised that Ashley was in the club. He already knew the kind of woman she was and that her love for material things would push her to do anything, even if it meant selling her dignity. It was no wonder that she and Vito always got along so well, they were birds of the same feather. When he thought about the friend group he suddenly remembered Lola and it almost spoiled his mood. Enzo sat down and faced the two of them. “We need to be able to go talk to Ashley, and Matthew you're in the best place to do it.”Matthew got up. “Ashley and I aren't in talking terms, we haven't been in talking terms for a while.”“It doesn't matter, all you have to do is convince her to infiltrate the place for us and get information.”Matthew started pacing back and forth. “Ashley is not a trustworthy person, she's so greedy and materialist

Vito followed behind her friend. “Oh my god I can't believe that Darrell is now a taxi driver.”“If you're surprised, imagine how I feel,” Ashley remarked as they entered into the new taxi that they had ordered.“But don't you think you were a little too harsh on him?” Vito asked with a hint of compassion in her voice. Ashley looked over her shoulders at her friend with a small frown on her face. “What do you mean?”“I'm just saying, Darrell has been there for you for a while, he provided you with everything you needed.”Ashley pushed back the loose strands of hair and tucked them behind her ears. “You can't be serious right now, do you expect me to stay with a poor man? Imagine what the other girls would say about me when they find out that my boyfriend is a taxi driver, please.”The ride back to the condo continued in awkward silence.When they arrived at the parking lot, she paid for the fair and then they made their way upstairs. They were still engaged in a hushed conversation a
154 • Blew Up the Houston Building
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire/Edam Knight
It was late in the night and Vanessa had turned to her side, with her phone in her arm as she texted Anderson Cabrera. She was smiling and giggling at his messages while Edward was sitting in front of the table in the room reading something on his laptop. He looked over his shoulders at his wife. He hadn't seen her so amused in a while and he couldn't help but wonder what she was doing. “Vanessa, is everything okay?” Her smile faded when she faced him. “Why wouldn't everything be okay Edward?” she asked loosely. “I'm sorry I just couldn't help but notice how much you've been staring at that phone and laughing. Who are you texting?” “Nobody, I'm just going through some posts on social media that I find funny.” He noticed how distracted she was with her phone so he brought out his and started texting Vito as well. While they were all occupied with their devices, there was a small knock on the door. One of the main points stuck her head through. “Sir, ma’am, dinner is ready,”

It was early in the morning and Hernandez was already in his office. He had his hands rooted into his desk as he looked at the evidence before him.“That apartment building is playing with our intelligence. First the property manager insisted that nobody tampered with the footage and then when we proved that the footage was tampered they said that somebody probably got access without their knowledge. Lucia, they are a high-end condo unit. How the hell does anyone get access to their footage without their knowledge?”Lucia shrugged. “This isn't our first rodeo. You know very well what money and power can do.”The chief blinked a few times. “Lucia, if you're trying to accuse somebody of something, please be direct so that I know where you're driving.”“I think that Butler has something to do with what is going on.”“So what do you suggest?”“Stakeout, we follow him, find him doing something incriminating and then we catch him.”“That's a long shot. What if we don't find him doing anythi
156 • Count Your Days
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire/Edam Knight
Matthew felt a little dizzy from all the stress so he was given a few medications by Dr Lillian. “You should feel better after taking these, it will definitely help with the headache.”A frown formed on his face. “ I think I remember everything now but the problem is I don't know who the man wearing the mask is…”Charles quickly stepped forward. “How are we so sure that it was a man wearing a mask? I was listening when Doctor Lillian was walking you through it, and I specifically heard her talk about a man wearing a mask. If you do not mind my asking the doctor, how did you know that the man in Matthew's memory would be wearing a mask?”Her expression dropped But then she quickly composed herself. “ I was just under the assumption that maybe since he was involved in something traumatic and he said that she was in an empty room there was every possibility that it was one of these bad men, you know kidnapping this is the time all-time high, especially in this season,” She quickly expla
157 • Challenge a Man
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire/Edam Knight
Charles was driving but he couldn't help but reach out and adjust his rearview mirror, squinting his eyes as he noticed a car that had been trailing them for a while now. “ Matthew, have you noticed that the blue sedan has been following us for a while now?” he asked, trying to make sure that he wasn't just jumping to conclusions.Matthew turned and looked through the back glass. “Yes, I have noticed it.”Charles immediately brought the car to a stop as they noticed that it was a lady who was inside driving it. Lucia on the other hand has been carried away with listening to the voice notes that she had not even noticed the people she was training had already caught onto the fact that they were being followed.She had to park the car and then Charles immediately got down from the car he was driving and walked towards her with Matthew following behind him. When they made eye contact, they quickly realized that she was a police officer. “Aren’t you from the station?” Charles asked, havin
158 • Man on the Run!
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire/Edam Knight
Raymond's eyes grew wide when he looked over the railings and saw Amelia lying on the floor, her limp form against the shattered pieces of glasses surrounding her as she had just smashed through the table. The white tile quickly became stained with red as her blood began to flow outward. Lindsay was petrified by what she just saw and all color had already drained from her face. Martha was also on the floor slightly conscious. There was too much going on so Raymond just picked up the suitcase and ran down the stairs.“Stop him!” Lindsay screamed as she tried to follow after him, but she stopped by the doorway and turned back to go and check on madam Amelia.The guard at the gate was a little confused and he didn't know what to do when he saw Raymond bolting out of the house.Just like that Raymond had managed to escape. Inside Lindsay was still screaming and more of the house that started to gather. “Is she alive?” The gardener asked.“How am I supposed to know, do I look like a p
159 • Doctors' Desperation
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire/Edam Knight
The doctors were doing everything they could to keep Amelia alive, they had to surgically remove some of the bits of glass that had stuck into her back. After the procedure the doctor put down the scissors and then stepped out of the ER. He was just about to throw his face mask into the bin when Matthew jumped from the seat in the waiting area. “Doctor, how is my grandmother doing?” He asked in a worried tone.“It's a good thing you brought her to the hospital on time. If not the blood loss would have been really fatal. We might have needed to do a blood transfusion or even worse than might have lost her. She seems to be stable but we have to wait for the results of the x-ray to come before we can determine to what extent her injuries are. Best case scenario is that she's fine, worst case is that she's suffered some form of head trauma or spinal damage which can lead to a lot of complications.”Matthew clenched his jaw, holding back the tears from spilling. “Thank you doctor,” he s

The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire/Edam Knight
After dinner, Gerald made sure to stay by Elena's side throughout. She insisted on staying in the sitting room so that she could be close to the phone in case it rings.They had to move the telephone to the room so that she could lie down on the bed while still being close to the phone in case of anything. Martha felt sorry for the couple. Even though her child was on born she already knew that it would break her heart to a million pieces if somebody was to kidnap her baby. She moved back to her room and it was still empty. It was already nighttime and Raymond was supposed to be in the room by now. “Where is he?” she muttered under her breath and then came out into the hallway. Under the assumption that he was probably in his study, working from home, she decided to go to the balcony to get some fresh air.The sound of the crickets chirping made up for the background noise and she stood in the balcony gripping the railing with her hands. Cool breeze blew against her face as she o
