Veyra got up early enough to pack a few things for her visit. At first, she was having a strange feeling but she ended up shoving it away for the time being. At the very least, she was granted permission to see her brother, which she had always requested. Working with Lazik is one of a kind; she was not allowed to make emotional connections with anyone by visiting, including her own brother, but surprisingly, Lazik had agreed to it by letting her go.. When she first started working with him, he had told her that if she just followed his orders, everything would go her way. Veyra had obeyed him by doing what he asked of her even if it meant going against her own directives. It was difficult and contradicted her conscience, but she had to do it.  Now she wondered if she still had a bit of conscience in her. Or was it totally destroyed? Kyle, a twelve year old boy, the only fam

“I just need to get my hands on that man called Jace, I just need to grapple his neck and make him suffer for bringing me down to this stage.” Elias said under his breath as he slammed the vehicle door and stormed inside.“I must have underestimated him so much that he has the nerve to look down on me.” he added as he slammed his bag on the couch and dragged the tie from his neck. Vira heard the noise and walked out of the room, puzzled as to why he was making such a fuss. She was certain that something bad had happened, but she did not care. She never did. All she needed was his money, and they were good to go.On seeing his wife headed towards his direction, he gave her an angry stare before grabbing his bag and walking to the same room she came out of.Vira was surprised at seeing this. She was expecting him to say something and not snub her that way. Has the matter gotten worse? she asked herself. It can't be. No way! she exclaimed in her mind.“Did he lose his job?” she asked a

Serex was completely exhausted when he arrived home. He slumped into the chair in his living room and heaved a sigh of relief.The house was quiet, so peaceful but no matter how calming it seemed, something still bothered him. His brother. He let out another sigh, this time, it was painful. Then he stood up and began walking towards the room he shared with his brother.He held the handle and gently opened it, peering inside the dimly lit room. His brother was inside, laying on the bed with his eyes closed. Serex closed it gently and walked towards the bed. He sat on the chair beside it and watched the young boy closely. The disease seemed to be eating him up, Serex observed him and noticed he was losing weight. All hopes to get him treated were gradually lowered. He had no means of ever getting money that could sustain him throughout the time of his treatment.Then he thought of his boss and scoffed. It was beyond his comprehension that Jace would ever consider himself involving his

After a long day at work, Jace was finally glad to be going home. He scrolled through his phone as he was driven home by Serex. The media had been quiet for days, with nothing new to report other than HaleTech's struggle to stabilize the company.Elias was nowhere to be seen in front of cameras and even his wife, Vira had taken some time off from the public.Jace smirked. He had accomplished some things but he wasn't done yet. As the vehicle swerved towards his building, Jace heaved a sigh of relief. His home was more of a respite from work, a tranquil place to unwind.He got down and began walking towards the building, with Serex following behind. Jace turned his head slightly but said nothing when he saw the young man. That was his normal routine, to make sure his boss was settled before leaving.When they arrived at the penthouse, Serex opened the door so his boss could enter. On stepping his foot into the house, Jace immediately knew something was wrong.“Stop. Do not take anoth

Vira was wrapped in blankets as she lay in bed, her gaze fixed on the reporter's next move. When she saw him getting out of bed, she pretended to be asleep.Mr. Alan walked towards his clothes, which were on the ground, and picked them up before going to the bathroom.Vira observed closely, waiting for him to leave the room. When he was gone into the bathroom, Vira sat up.The sound of pouring water made her get up from the bed. She tiptoed from her side of the bed to the opposite side. She noticed Alan's wallet and phone, both of which were on a small table nearby.On seeing them, she let out a sly smile and gently walked towards the small table. The sounds of pouring water persisted, giving her the opportunity to continue with her secret mission.When she got hold of the cellphone, she unlocked it with a single swipe. Without waiting, she went straight to his gallery and began to search for the pictures.Her heart rate quickened as she scrolled through her phone. She would glance at
