The ward fell into silence, heart monitor beeping, not for a signal of life but a warning signal.Inspector Frank tensed, his confidence flickering, nearing a crash under the searing gaze of Elijah. James looked at Elijah with a surprising expression, wondering if those words had merely slipped from his tongue or he just blurted it to shake the Feds away, because hearing the way he accentuated the words, it looks really threatening. It wasn't the broken voice of the broke student he knew back in the days. Inspector James took one step closer, his boot thumping. The nervous expression dissolved into a mask of amusement.He chuckled lightly. “What do you say you're going to do again? Call the chief of police? You're a hilarious one.” He laughed maniacally, voice dripping with mockery. “You think you're some kind of powerful ruler who can beacon at the Chief of police just insignificantly? Disrespect for the higher-ups should be added to your crime record!" He hissed with an amusing ed

“You're one of those parasites in the police force that steps on the lower people's rights.” Elijah continued with a calculated voice.“It's high time people learn that all dust is not gold, and all that glitters might just be dust.” The ward was quiet, his voice carrying but the tension was palpable.Elijah didn't stop, his voice ringing like a preacher's but it wasn't just for salvation but something dangerous.“You slapped my friend and I'm not going to forgive that.” He pointed at the second officer. "You only got lucky because you controlled your lips. Stand!" He growled, low but venomous.The police officer jumped to feet, his face sleak with sweats.“You'll slap him. Once and thunderous just like he did to my friend. You see his face...” He paused, pointing a finger at James. “You'll give him the same look.” He said quietly.The police officer shivered, looking down at Inspector Frank who was a superior officer to him. Hesitation flickered in his eyes.“Are you deaf!!?" Chief J

"or you're asking about how I feel deep in love with you." Kane started. Isadora stood there in shock. Her heart skipping beats on beats. A wide smile spread over her face knowing exactly what was coming."I thought I had gotten to the end of the tunnel— That I would never find a woman who would love me like you do. But your affection for me surpassed my imagination. I'm not blind, Dora," He paused with a sweet smile. Isadora's face flushed crimson. "I see everything; How you have been caring for me, how you value both big and little time with you."Your presence had been a source of light in this house. In my heart. In my life. You lit my world so bright I outshine everyone. It is you, Isadora."Gently, Kane pulled out the ring from the box. At this point, tears blurred Isadora's eyes, her palm clapped over her mouth as the sheer surprise of the proposal make her heart flutter with butterflies.The tears slipped from her eyes gently when Kane asked."Will you be my wife, Isadora?"

Heels clicked the immaculate marble. One, two, one, two like bullets ricocheting off a steel wall. The air shift, heads turned in the silenced room.Juliana Foster, Oxblood gown soaking in the ambient light, hair tightly pulled in updo, diamond glinted in her necklace. Not just as a Jewelry, but a declaration of power.She stopped on the platform, Maya stepping away and leaving the floor for her to join the crew.Silence swallowed the air for a moment as everyone's gaze pinned the boss lady on the stage. Rosanna had frozen in place, her eyes shimmering an emotion of shock and bewildment.Juliana? CEO? At once, she knew she was gone! Juliana won't blink before firing her. The same woman who she downcasted with a stern gaze, slept with her man, Badmus Kenneth. How the heck is she going to overlook her wrong. Rossana is doomed!Juliana's sharp eyes darting the room, skimping from one staff member to another till her gaze landed on Rossana like a bullet. Rossana trembled as Juliana's

Juliana arrived at Globulex Bank in a Taxi. She adjusted her gown immediately she stepped down and paid the Taxi without bothering to retrieve change, rolling her eyes and saying with pride and calculated arrogance. "Just keep the change." She turned, waving the old driver off as he continued to mumble quick words of gratitude. She stopped after taking a few steps, her smile bright and glee, marveling at the glass and steel facade of Globulex Bank glistening in the warm afternoons sun like a towering relic rather than a gigantic financial institution.She looked at the premises with a strange newness, bearing the idea that she was going to legally claim the bank in a few minutes after finishing with the paperwork. Her mind ebbed with delight, and it was fully registered with a genuine smile of pride on her face."This is it," She said under her breath triumphantly. "This is what we're talking about. Here comes the Boss lady." With her clutch swinging lightly in her hand, she approac
