CHAPTER EIGHTY-ONE“What! You?” Festus couldn’t believe his eyes as he saw the man in the driver’s seat smiling at him. Taking a step backwards, he looked carefully at the blue Jaguar car, then he scoffed and came forward to Novan.“When did you start stealing cars? There is no way you can afford this.” Festus blurted out as his overconfidence exhumed from his body and filled the space in front of him.“Well it doesn’t really matter what you think. I am here to see your girlfriend to give her that which she has always desired. Now could you remove your rickety car from the way so that I can go in?” Novan said with a smirk on his face. Certainly his words hit Festus so hard that he fumed in intense rage added to the already existing anger inside of him.“How dare you call my G-classic Mercedes car worth thousands of dollars rickety? You really have some nerves.”“Oh I see. Guess you didn’t take a proper look at my car then or maybe you don’t really know it’s worth.” Novan retorted stil

CHAPTER EIGHTY-THREEAlexia looked at the poets Festus was holding and extended towards her, then she looked at Festus still thinking of what she was to do exactly.“Go on Babe. Just sign the papers and let me handle this. I promise that he will pay this instant.” Festus said with a snigger on his lips.“Are you sure about this?” Alexia asked as she reluctantly turned her eyes towards the paper and then looked at Festus who seemed so overconfident with a reassuring smile on his face.“Oh come on Alexia. Sign the papers. I thought you have always wanted to get rid of me or does this mean you love me.”“Oh Shut up Novan and let me think.” Alexia retorted almost immediately at Novan immediately following his words. She rolled her eyes at him in disdain and in the intensity of the anger she felt about the words he spoke, she quickly grabbed the papers from Festus leaning only the blue file for him.“Oh here, take this.” Betty said extending a ballpoint black pen she took out from her bre

CHAPTER EIGHTY-FIVE“Oh here he is over there. Arrest him!” Festus said with so much excitement pointing at Novan who stood right at a spot without saying any word.“Are you really sure about this sir?” The Policeman who seemed to be higher in rank than the rest of the other four policemen who were out of the cars.“What are you talking about? Did I stutter?” Festus said glaring his eyes at the policeman who seemed to be taking a lot of time observing Novan closely.“No sir, but he doesn’t really look like a criminal.”“How do you know if one is a criminal? Is it written on the forehead? Do I have to call your Chief to tell him how incompetent you are?” Festus said in a threatening tone as his anger started to rise gradually.“Sorry Sir! I am really sorry Sorry. There would be no need for that.” The policeman said trying so hard to get rid of the doubt laced in his eyes. He took one last look at Novan, then he turned around to make sure the other policemen were on standby.“What’s you

CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVEN“What do you mean by that?” Festus asked still holding on to the anger inside of him.“Babe what’s wrong with these men? I think you should go ahead and call the Police Chief.” Alexia urged Festus who turned towards her and said nothing.“Go ahead Festus. Do what she tells you. Who knows, the Chief of Police may decide to come himself.” Novan said with a smirk on his lips, then he turned towards the Detective and sighed but the poor man jerked a bit as though Novan was about to hit him. Even this mere look was enough to send jitters into his body.Festus looked at Novan not sure of what was happening, but as much as he wanted to ignore Novan and act like he never heard him, he really wanted him to pay for whatever crime he felt he committed against him.“All this will be over pretty soon.” Festus said, then he dialed the number of the Chief of Police and placed the phone on his ear.“That’s more like it Festus. That’s more like it.” Novan said with a slight snicke

CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINE“Don’t worry Mr Gary. I am sure we can have this sorted out soon.” Novan said with a smile on his face but the Chief of Police didn’t seem to be convinced that the Lord Commander meant his words exactly the way he said them. He refused to stand from his kneeling posture still pleading.“Please Sir. Pardon me, I beg of you. This is an honest mistake.”“Why the hell is he begging Novan? What’s really going on?” Alexia said still very much confused about the way things had turned out.“Did he just mention the Lord Commander?” Kelvin said widening his eyes with intense curiosity and shock as he turned towards the Chief of Police and then to Novan.“I thought they said he died three years ago?” Lady Rock said to her husband as she turned towards him to be sure.“Yes exactly my point. There is no way this lunatic is the Almighty Lord Commander. That’s very impossible.” Kelvin said with a spark in his eyes.“Hey you! What are you doing? Why the hell are you kneeling befor
