Across the street, Benjamin was driving along a lonely road heading to the headquarters of the Hayes group for the executive meeting that was scheduled for 9am when he noticed the black SUV trailing him behind."Coincidence, Maybe." He said then decided to increase his speed and turn the car into another corner. Yet the car was right behind him.He became alert instantly. He had seen the SUV at the gate of Aria's school that morning but he never really paid attention to it.Jackson's call came in at the time."Master Hayes the board is waiting for you.""I'll be there. In the next twenty minutes. No one should leave." He said, his voice commanding."Is there a problem, Sir?" Jackson noticed the slightest change in his voice despite Benjamin's steady voice.Benjamin glanced that the tinted car from the side view mirror still on his tail."A Black SUV is following me...."The SUV suddenly crossed him at the front instinctively forcing him to match on the Car's brake. The tyres screeche

Sunshine Academy plunged into tension at once as a government vehicle pulled over inside the premises. The students peeped from the classrooms, murmuring stirred in the air in waves, some teachers were already walking out to check on the disturbance. Uniformed police men poured out from the Vehicle immediately with weapons tucked in their waist. This wasn't war. It was just an arrest. Maybe. The Chief inspector a woman called Viviana Cross walked to meet Benjamin."Listen, Inspector," Benjamin's voice was filled with authority and anger without giving her a chance to speak first because he had a daughter lying on a hospital bed and the kid who did was out maybe there sipping expensive wine. "I want this institution locked down. No one leaves here till I have Mr. Alejandro Reed brings his son here for arrest.""Mr. Hayes, we can go ahead and make the arrest at Mr. Reed's house and get proper investigation started.""He's coming here himself with his son." Benjamin said firmly.Mr. T

The Black Kia Cerato pulled in through the gate of sunshine Academy. The air shifted, reporter turning to it, anticipating the entrance of Mr. Alejandro Reed but who stepped out from the car threw the air into noises, reporters scrambled towards her, throwing questions that Hannah didn't even bother to ask, pushing through the crowd with swift movement.She stepped into the quiet corridor that led to the academy infirmary, a few staff teachers greeting her but she didn't even respond till she stepped into the infirmary that smelled of antiseptic.She stopped, assessing the room with sharp eyes. Benjamin sat on the chair at the centre with back straight, concern etched over his face. His held her gaze without any expression but wondered what the heck she was doing there. Hannah's gaze landed on Aria who was still on the bed with her eyes shut. His expression simply narrowed. No concern. Just pity. And then to Cassandra who sat on the bed beside the young girl. Her expression shifted no

Panic struck Margaret Reed like a thunderclap. Her expression went from shock to pale as her followers decreased rapidly from 7 millions to 4 million in the space to 5 minutes and was still dropping rapidly. Her finger trembled violently and the phone slipped from her, clattering to the floor, her heart banging in her ear like a wardrum, each ping from the phone a Sharp stab to her heart."Oh, My God!" The gasp came out strangulated in her throat. She grabbed the phone and immediately stumbled out of the room, her heel clacking on the stairs as she hurried over it, sustaining her movement between emergency and tripping to gravity. "Honey...honey..." Alejandro Reed was already up, pacing the room with a wrinkled expression like a wounded predator angry he was caged. His voice came before his wife's, filled with anger."My investigators are calling in. They're threatening to pull away their shares because of that scum!" He spun to his wife who was panicking just like him. "I thought w

Benjamin held his gaze firmly without even blinking an eye."You will apologize for your insult, Alejandro," he said, his voice calm. "you can't bribe your way with me with your burger change."Alejandro Reed chuckled— sharp and amusing."You're too bold, Hayes," he said, "but I have seen a lot of men charge into war they know nothing about, thinking it is pride until they soak up in blood, a foolish death. Don't get relaxed. You're sitting on fire now." With that, he turned and started walking out of the place."We shall see who will burn then." Benjamin concluded. Alejandro Reed paused, and turned with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He smiled tightly and turned away, stepping into his car and drove away instantly.His finger tightened around the steering wheel, his jaw clenched as anger bubbled inside like hot water on a pressure cooker. He had just been challenged by the same man he overlooked. He had walked into a lot of rooms and silenced powerful men with his presence, even peo
