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-TWOFor a few seconds , the Chauffeur silent as he stole glances at Desmond through the rear view mirror with speculative thoughts running through is mind.“Is there any problem?” Desmond asked in a soft voice from the back seeing that the young man in front was yet to start the ignition.“Sorry Sir but that’s a classified location and it is almost at the end of the city.” The Chauffeur said with a little shaky voice as he continued to steal glances at Desmond through the rear view mirror.“Yes I am aware of that. You were instructed to take me to any destination of my choice right?” Desmond asked looking at the rear view mirror as his eyes met with those of the chauffeur.“Yes Sir that was the instruction from the patron.” The chauffeur responded and took off his eyes from the rear view mirror almost immediately they came in contact with Desmond’s eyes.“Then do as you have been instructed. Do I have to inform Mira of your misconduct?”“No need for that Sir. I apologize

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-FOUR“Oh no.” Desmond said silently the moment he saw the lady lying on the bed with a nasal cannula fixed to her nose. Her eyes were shut tightly and her motionless body had some kind of reddish boils all over.“Her health is really deteriorating Desmond. We have to do something and fast.”“But she has been in coma for a very long time, how come she is still getting worse?” Desmond asked with his eyes still glued on the screen.“The Doctors say that her immune system is getting weaker and so unable to withstand the poison. She barely has enough strength in her Desmond.” Juliana said with a weak voice as he eyes soon got wet and ready to let out the tears.“Don’t worry Juliana, nothing is going to happen to her I promise.” Desmond said, then he sighed and turned to Juliana but the look on her face showed that she was really scared and was finding it really difficult to believe the words that Desmond spoke.“Take me to her now.” Desmond said seconds after he had taken on

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-SIXThe entire eyes of everyone in the room were upon Natasha who still lay still on the bed without any signs of vitality.“Nothing is happening Desmond.” Juliana said turning towards him and then back to Natasha.At that moment, Desmond felt his heart beating fasting than normal, he exhaled slowly amidst the struggle to control his breathing.“But… but it was meant to have a little effect on her. If only I had the herb.” Desmond said regrettably as he sighed but not if relief.“What does this mean? Did it not work?” Juliana asked but Desmond was looking very much confused. From all indications, he had no explanations to give.“Maybe you can go ahead and give her the pills now.” Desmond said slowly to Grave trying to get rid of the little shame and the disappointment he felt inside of him. Gently he walked towards the entrance to the room and stood right in front of it without saying a word.Juliana looked at Desmond and found no words to say to him since obviously he w

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-EIGHT“Where did you see this?”“You mean you didn’t see it?” Juliana asked with some amount of doubt following Desmond’s statement.Desmond was silent, then he sighed and moved his right hand across his face and wiped it as though there was some stain on it.“I warned you about her didn’t I?” Juliana said getting rid of the silence that existed between them for a few seconds but the look on Desmond’s face showed clearly that he was not in the mood for taking any blames.“I truly loved her Juliana. I loved her.”“Well clearly we can’t say the same for her. She obviously didn’t love you enough to want to stick with you. The moment she found someone she felt was better than you, she jumped in him and discarded you.” Juliana said rolling her eyes in a disgruntle as though Vanessa was present in their midst.“Does she even know that you are the reason why her family business blossomed?” Juliana asked looking at Desmond but the countenance on his face indicated that Vanessa k

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

CHAPTER SIXTY“What? Desmond?” Vanessa said as she saw the man dressed in black Armani suit with a blue striped tie attached to his neck.“What are you doing here? Oh I see, you come here to make a show after the last stunt you pulled at the courthouse. You are such a loser.” Vanessa barked rolling her eyes at Desmond who maintained the smile on his face.“Hello Vanessa, it’s so good to see you too. You don’t look bad.” Desmond said as he turned towards Vanessa ignoring everything she had said.“Oh I see you have company. This one is new, I wonder what she sees in you.” Vanessa said taking a look at Juliana who seemed really stunning in her outfit.“Oh wow.” Juliana said inaudible as she squeezed her face to the thoughts that Vanessa perceived about her being together with Desmond. She was very much surprised that Vanessa couldn’t recognize her even though they had met once.“What are you doing here Desmond?”“Relax Vanessa, I didn’t come here to banter words with you. I am here to gi
