Just as Benjamin arrived at his apartment, his eyes scanned around, his living room was in complete disarray, his bookshelf turned over, his papers and clothes scattered everywhere like a cyclone had passed through.His hands curled into a fist, and his knuckles turned ghostly white; his face darkened, waiting to explode.What gave Jeffery and his men the audacity to step into his apartment to ruin his belongings?He glanced around for a moment. Suddenly, just as he raised his head, he saw Jeffrey, whose face grinned in satisfaction, behind him were five men, each of them wielding long, glinting steel blades meant to kill, not to intimidate or humiliate.Benjamin gritted his teeth as he stared at them.“I have been waiting for you, I know you will come,” Jeffrey said.He took the wine bottle and let it drop to the floor, the deep red liquid staining the floor.“What the hell are you doing in my apartment?” Benjamin asked, his anger shimmering beneath.“We have some unfinished business

“What is it?” Mr. Alfred Davis asked, his tone sharp with urgency.“Mr. Davis, all your accounts have been frozen. As we speak, the police are raiding your company premises, and your corporate accounts are under serious investigation,” the voice on the other end said grimly. “Your company has been blacklisted. And it’s not just the company, everything tied to your family, including the clubhouse and the gang headquarters, is under siege.”He paused for a breath, then added, “Investors are pulling out rapidly. This is bigger than anything we anticipated. Something unthinkable is unfolding.”Mr. Davis’ expression turned to stone, his grip on the phone tightening. He struggled to process the words. How could this be happening? His entire empire froze, attacked, and collapsed all at once. It was more than he could bear.Something was clearly amiss. Mr. Davis couldn’t shake the overwhelming sense of confusion and dread. What was happening? Who could possibly be behind this?He ran a hand t

At the Liberty bar, Francis Henderson was drinking with his henchmen in a private room. Talking and laughing at their jokes, when one of the men walked in and whispered into his earHe frowned, as his playful expression turned cold. “Who the hell does he think he is? How dare he interfere with my business?” He barked angrily.“Let him in,” he instructed.The other men couldn’t help but wonder why their boss was angry. “What could the guard have told him? What’s going on?” They thought inwardly as they could only stare to know what was happening.Benjamin and Elizabeth stepped inside the room. She lowered her head, in panic and fear. Benjamin kept a composed demeanour, unfazed by the cold and intimidating gazes at him. “Who are you and why did you choose to interfere in my business?” he lowered his glass, his face turned dark. “If you know what’s good for you, I will advise you to step away and hand over the girl to me. I can forgive you and let you leave without any harm or else.”

With a worried heart, Elizabeth was about to head back to meet Benjamin when she spotted him coming downstairs with an envelope. “What happened? What did he say? Would he come after me after this?” Elizabeth was worried.Benjamin could only smile and respond. “No one is coming after you, I have settled everything.” He said, then gave her the envelope. “He asked me to give this to you, as a payoff,” Elizabeth looked at him shocked, “Was he joking? Why would he give me $30,000?” she thought.“What did you tell him?” Despite how she witnessed him take down Francis’ men, she was still scared. “Just a warning not to come after you again, if he doesn’t want to lose his life.” He responded.She opened her mouth unsure of what to say. She looked at his eyes for a moment. “Thank you for saving my life. I don’t know how to thank you.” Her voice was filled with gratitude.“You are welcome, we need to leave.” He said leading her out of the bar. After they left, Benjamin accompanied her home.

Benjamin took another bite when he noticed two men storming into the restaurant. The other men at the corner were frightened at the men’s presence, without being told, he knew something was wrong.He stared at the man who walked towards the small counter, just as the man yelled and cursed, Elizabeth stepped forward, her body trembling slightly.The men looked deadly, without being told, one could tell they were Gangsters. “How dare you start an operation without our permission? You were supposed to make a deposit to our office before operating but you chose to go against us. You will be punished for it.” He stated firmly.Elizabeth shook her head, her hand clasped below her jaw, and she felt fear and panic surge through her body.“Please, give me tonight. I will pay the dues.” She pleaded.Early, she had gone to the office to pay her operation fee, but when she got there with her father, she saw the door was locked, so she
