CHAPTER NINETY-TWO“Don’t come close! Stay away!” Jamie said with a loud voice, as he pulled back the gun to himself, and breathed nervously. The men didn’t relent, but they traded with so much caution, approaching with very slow but steady steps, with their heads low, and their eyes high.Jamie peeped at them again, and when he noticed that they didn’t stop, he groaned in anger and frustration.He pointed his gun through the other side of the car, very close to where Mira was standing, while he still held onto her hand, but by a slim chance, he missed his shot.With the gun having only one bullet, Jamie knew that his chances of succeeding in his plans had gotten slimmer. After a few moments, later, an idea came to him, and he proceeded to execute it.“What are you doing? Let me go, Jamie !”“Sh! Be quiet! You talk too much!” Jamie hushed Mira up, as he dragged her from the car with the gun pointed to her head, and using her as a cover.“One move and I will end her. Stay there all o

CHAPTER NINETY-FOUR“Hey! Let go of me now! I am warning you! This won’t end well for all of you!” Jamie threatened while the men pushed him away toward the black cars.Mira watched the men drag Jamie away, and then gradually, she felt a sudden relief that crept into her body.“Feisty!” Desmond said with a smile on his face, looking at Mira wriggling her hand to ease the pain she felt from smacking Jamie on his strong face.“Is there anything else you would need, Lord Commander?”“Oh no, not at all, Gregory, you may go now. I will take it up from here. Thank you for a job well done,” Desmond said with a smile on his face and his eyes gazing upon Gregory.“Ok, Sir, I will be on my way now,” Gregory said, and then he turned almost immediately and walked toward the cars.Mira watched him walk away, wondering what had happened right in her presence. Just then, the words hit her mind.“Lord Commander?” She said, turning her gaze from Gregory to Desmond with an inquisitive stare.Desmond si

CHAPTER NINETY-SIXMara gasped. She would have considered being so sympathetic to Sandra, but she figured that she must have been so impatient and lost a rare gem.“Her loss then,” she said softly, but to the hearing of Desmond, who chuckled softly and continued to drive toward the garage.Immediately, he parked the car inside the garage, and Desmond rushed into the house with Mara following behind him.He went toward the elevator and hit the button almost immediately. Mara had to be fast to be able to meet up with him, seeing that he was so much in a hurry.The elevator took them to the last floor of the building, and as soon as the doors opened and the elevator chimed, Desmond stepped out and started to walk through the hallway with quickened steps.Mara didn’t have time to admire the exquisite interior of the building, as she was struggling to catch up with Desmond, who was way ahead of her.Halfway through the hallway, Juliana appeared from a corner and started to head toward Desm

CHAPTER NINETY-EIGHT“That was intense. I wonder why she has been behaving that way,” Mara whispered, only to her hearing. Then she slowly started to move toward the garage, still catching sight of Juliana, who had patiently waited for Desmond, so that they could walk beside each other to the garage.As soon as they got to the garage, Desmond wanted to bring out the car remote from his pocket, but on second thought, he decided to go with another car.He walked through the fleet of cars in the garage, while Juliana trailed him closely, and when he arrived at the Mercedes Maybach S-class Haute Couture, he took the key control from the stool close to the car and pressed it. Two beeping sounds followed immediately, and the light shimmering rose sleek car was unlocked.“I think I will be sitting there,” Juliana said almost immediately, as she grabbed the handle of the door in front and opened it before Mara could get to it.Understanding the reason why Juliana had been in such a hurry to g

CHAPTER HUNDRED Desmond shook his head, standing on his resolve. “I am sure there is a mix-up somewhere. The President must have signed another deal, or maybe the one you speak of belongs to me and not him.” He turned to Hilary, causing him to growl at him. “How dare you speak about me in that manner?! Do you know who I am, or what I am capable of?!” Hilary’s eyes burned with so much annoyance, but it didn’t matter how angry he looked; Desmond just stared at him silently. Infuriated, Hilary turned to Jacob, his right fist clenched tightly. “I am highly disappointed, Mr. Flint! Is this how you treat important business associates?!” His eyes were still glaring, prompting the Supervisor to step closer, lifting both hands toward him. “I am very sorry, Mr. Colman.” Jacob cleared his throat, and then he stopped walking, standing about two meters away from Hilary. “Just give me a second to handle this, okay?” He turned to Desmond, preparing his final warning to him. “I give you one la
