CHAPTER FIFTY-ONEThat was definitely a test of masculinity and self control for Desmond as he watched himself struggle with rejecting the temptress’ seductive offer.“Had Vanessa, the right word to say is had.” Desmond said as soon as he got a grip of himself, then he gently dragged out Vanessa’s hands from his neck and pushed her aside.“Whew! That was really close.” Desmond sighed heavily as he realized that he had just avoided a huge temptation. He could say that he just passed a test.“What do you mean by had?” Vanessa said looking at Desmond and filled with the persistent eagerness to finish up what she started.“Like you rightly said Vanessa. I had always wanted you to give me your attention back when we were married. That was a long time ago. That was in the past and not now.” Desmond said still trying to avoid looking at the glaring cleavages that bounced up and down whenever Vanessa made even the slightest movement.“What are you saying Desmond? That you don’t want all these

CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE“Welcome Lord Commander. It’s so good to have you back. I am glad that you have finally decided to join us after three years.” The man said, then he bowed profoundly to Desmond. The bodyguards too were not left out as they bowed even deeper than the middle aged man.“Thank you Gregory. It feels good to be back. You may rise now.” Desmond said to the man with a smile on his face.“Thank you Lord Commander.” The man said as he raised up his head and stood erect but the bodyguards kept their heads bent while still holding on to their guns.“How have things been around here? I hope there has not been any lapses?” Desmond 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 of 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

CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVEDesmond ignored her, then he walked towards her and took the bag from her hand as she sighed with relief the moment she handed it over to him willingly.“You still haven’t told me what you have inside that old bag.” Juliana said looking at the bag with so much disgruntle.“You will find out soon, we have to go now.” Desmond said, then he walked out of the room to the first room he had gotten into.“We shall use the chopper to get there faster.”“Sounds better.” Desmond said in response to Juliana’s utterance.Fee seconds after, Juliana pressed a button under the table and the roof of the room gradually slid open and a a steel ladder gradually came down till it stopped when the end had touched the floor of the room.Desmond 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 on the hanger. The pilot was already inside and the rotor blade spinning at a very high speed

CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN“Can I have your phone please.” He said to Juliana who immediately handed over the phone from her pocket to him without any hesitation.“Thank you.” Desmond said quietly, then he pulled out his phone from his pocket and opened the back. He did the same with Juliana’s phone before he gradually pulled his Sim chip and put it into Juliana’s phone and proceeded to dial a number.As the other line rang, Juliana and Grace kept their eyes on him eager to find out what he was really up to as he seemed really anxious about the call.“Hello Mira.” Desmond said hurriedly as soon as Mira spoke to him from the other end of the line.From the countenance on his face, Juliana 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 Desmond’s face brightened up with a smile the moment Mira picked her call.“I didn’t get to thank you for yesterday; you really came thr

CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE“What! You?” Thaddeus 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 Desmond.“When did you start stealing cars? There is no way you can afford this.” Thaddeus 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?” Desmond said with a smirk on his face. Certainly his words hit Thaddeus 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.” Desmond r
