A few hours later, when the night had fallen once more. Achilles, dressed in his black hoodie and mask, headed off like a man on a mission.The figure on the wheel was Brig. Stones whose eyes had been fixed on the road for over two minutes.Achilles had informed him of the night's short trip shortly after Brig. Beauty apprised him of the Plan B activation.Achilles hummed one of his favorite classic tunes while enjoying the ride; his eyes sparkled with focus.Brig. Stones moved his tongue with words, “Boss. We've arrived.”Achilles stretched his hand for a handshake. “Keep on alert. I'd be back before you blink an eyelid.”Brig. Stones nodded with enthusiasm, reciprocating the handshake gesture, “Go break a leg Boss.”Achilles’ face brightened with a quick smile. He admired Brig. Stone's personality. Despite being maltreated as a boy-child, the brigadier’s soft-spokenness never lost its spark.Brig. Stone's journey into the military was borne out of self-determination and unwavering c

Achilles' eyes widened a little bit in growing surprise. The Prime Minister's words ushered in a moment of ghost-quiet in the room.Both men glanced at each other in silence, but their hearts throbbed with several similar thoughts.Achilles began to put the pieces together on why the Prime Minister could tell what Johnson would do after losing the primaries to his younger brother.Given the fact that Johnson had long been in the All Progressive People's Alliance before the Prime Minister joined. He must have felt his younger brother pierce a sharp dagger into his chest.The Prime Minister tutted his lips in displeasure still holding onto his emotions.“Our family fell apart from that moment and has never been the same ever since.”“He had long been in politics before my emergence. In the early days of my political career, he assisted in teaching me the ropes while I learned exceedingly.”Achilles’ ears stayed keen in memorizing every detail of the Prime Minister's words.The Prime Min

Brig Scott's words hit differently in their ears. They exchanged eye contact with an awakening thought. Margaret’s eyes glimmered redder in fury. She mightn't be a victim like the female staff members in A and H Luxury Dior, but she had had a fair share of male perverts who would never render help without requesting the obvious. One of the reasons she'd always remain grateful to the late Brig. Anthony Hector, Achilles' father was how he gave her a golden opportunity to explore the world of Real Estate without ulterior motives. Achilles chipped in, his words stable. “Easy Faithfuls. Don't panic excessively. I believe whoever was involved hadn't decided to make a move in blackmailing the female staff members. If not, we would have received complaints earlier.” The Faithfuls nodded but their shoulders struck with goosebumps. Margaret found the edge of a couch to rest her waist. Brig. Stone's phone buzzed, and it was from the head of the operations department calling. They all gl

Achilles and others nodded in keenness as Brig. Stone’s words replayed in their heads.It was crystal clear why he didn't bother re-acquiring his late father's assets and focused on making a prominent mark in the military.However, it seemed like the past came knocking on the door, and after many years, Victoria Stones was still on the other side of the coin.Achilles let out a sigh of relief that Brig. Stones wasn't the figure managing A and H Jewelry Paradise but Brig. Beauty, hence there won't be a reason she wouldn't see to the end of the illegal activities.Amidst the reasons Brig. Stones gave for not waging a counterattack on Victoria. Achilles could see glimpses of fear and doubt in his eyes.In Achilles’ assessment— Brig. Stones could fear he might get enchanted by Victoria’s seduction and fall helplessly in love with her, like her late father; hence, he might have doubts about starting a fight he wouldn't finish.Achilles inquired trying to ignite the energy in the room. “Vic

Eunice rolled a cautionary glance at Star to take a chill pill.Felix forced a calm countenance, doing everything possible not to spark a scene in front of Gabrielle.“You thought I wouldn't come back?” He uttered with a pretentious smile. “C’mon, you mean no one missed me?”Eunice managed to give a warming gesture. “Welcome dear, We actually miss–”Gabrielle interjected and had Eunice swallow back her words. “Please! Table manners!” She expressed while shaking her head. “Can we have dinner like adults?”Gabrielle flashed Felix a mean stare and returned to her dining business. She didn't give a hoot about Eunice and Star's discouraging winks.Since the brawl, Felix hadn't been home and unexpectedly showed up on the Haydens' door putting forth a false gesture like nothing happened.Felix’s feigned beam wavered into a serious composure. “Is that how you now welcome me?”Star retorted, furrowing her eyebrows. “Not now! Don't do this here! Let me serve you dinner!”Felix’s voice heightene
