CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWO“What are you saying Novan? That you don’t want all these?” Rita questioned as she pulled up her breasts from underneath and extended her legs to reveal more flesh.Novan found himself staring for a few seconds but he immediately called himself in order as he gulped in some saliva and blinked his eyes severally to get a grip of himself.“You really have to go now, Rita. Maya could be here any moment from now.” Novan said in a polite but determined tone. His voice was a bit shaky as a result of the pressure that he found himself dealing with as perspiration soon started to drop from his back.“Maya is that her name?” Rita scoffed, then she rolled her eyes in disregard after she had mentioned the name of her conceived enemy.“Who answers Maya? I mean, what kind of name is that anyway?” She said and rolled her eyes again waving her hand as though she was waving the name and its bearer aside too.“That’s enough Rita. You have to go now. I don’t want anyone to see you h

CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOUR“How have things been around here? I hope there have not been any lapses?” Novan asked looking into the building as his smile remained on his lips.“Not at all, Lord Commander. Everything has been in order since you left but not as much as when you were around. We indeed were lacking in your prowess and leadership.” Gregory responded bowing slightly as he said the last three words with a smile on his face.“Mm. I see. I am back now and I would love to be furnished with everything that has been happening.”“Right away Lord Commander. This way please.” Gregory said pointing towards the elevator, then he hurriedly went closer to Novan and took the bag from him.“Let me have that Sir.”“Careful with it. I have some important things inside.” Novan said as he let go of the bag still looking to be certain that nothing was going to go wrong.Novan got into the elevator before Gregory, then he pressed one of the buttons and the elevator took them to the final floor of the

CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIXNovan wasted no time, he claimed the ladder and went out of the room through the roof. As he got to the top of the building, he saw a white helicopter waiting in the hangar. The pilot was already inside and the rotor blade spinning at a very high speed and making a whirring sound.Novan got into the helicopter while he waited for Betty who was taking her time climbing up through the ladder. The pilot greeted Novan with a bow and he responded by waving at him.In a few seconds, Betty walked into the helicopter, and seeing that she was in, the pilot pulled the thrust lever and the helicopter went up to the sky and then towards their destination.It took them about ten minutes before they landed on the hanger on another building almost in the middle of the city. Novan and Betty got out almost immediately and the helicopter took off again.“Welcome Lord Commander. It’s so good to have you back.” Said the middle aged woman putting on a white uniform with black patches.

CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHTFrom the countenance on his face, Betty could tell that the call was really important to him, so she decided to wait till he was done before she could say what she had in mind. Her major concern was from the way Novan’s face brightened up with a smile the moment Maya picked her call.“I didn’t get to thank you for yesterday; you really came through for me. I am grateful.” Novan said, then he listed to what Maya said from the other end resuming his smile.“All the same Maya, I am grateful.” Novan said again with another smile that made Betty more curious.“Who could be this that is making him smile so hard?” Betty thought to herself as she constantly changed her view from Reina and then to Novan especially whenever he giggles with the smile plastered on his face.“Oh really?” Novan said again as he gently lifted his left hand and scratched the back of his head with his fingers. It was obvious he was thinking of a response to give to Maya following whatever she mus

CHAPTER EIGHTY“Oh how I have missed you.” Novan said as he went towards the blue Jaguar F-type limited edition sports car. He gently took out the car remote control from the table beside it and unlocked the car allowing the doors to go up gradually.“Come on Betty.” Novan said as he got into the car and waited for Betty to get in while he kept his hands on the steering wheel and fired the car twice allowing the engines to roar. He nodded his head in satisfaction.Novan drove out of the garage almost immediately Betty got in. With his hands tightly clutched to the steering wheel, he drifted gently just as the car got to a corner just before the automated gates widely opened gradually as the blue sleek car approached from a distance away.The excitement on his face clearly showed that Novan really missed the life he was used to, he sighed severally in relieve as he also anticipated the days that were to come.In about twenty minutes time, they arrived at the Ultimate Tower and Betty go
