“I'm really sorry about the delay Lord Abel…”

“Mr Jackson, I have really warned you not to address me as Lord Abel, especially when we are on the phone.”

“You can never know who is eavesdropping on our conversation.” Abel Scott slowly said as he stared at his wife from the other end of the road.

“No problems…Mister Abel Scott.”

“Any lead on my grandfather's case? Have you been able to find the bastard who poisoned Lord Rene's because if you haven't I will be forced to do things my own way?” Abel Scott said as he paced across the street.

“Lord…I mean Mister Abel, I have my intel but I still have to do my own personal scrutinization, you never can truly trust this intel most of the time.”

“I assure you Mister Abel Scott, we will find out what really happened to your grandfather and we will have justice for the Scott's family…for now I will advise you to lie low.”

“A more resourceful intel told me that the gang that was hired to take out your parents Mr Andrew Scott and Mrs Sharon Scott are currently on the loose.”

“I really don't understand what is going on at the moment, but I refuse to believe that they followed us to SouthRise city.”

“No one must know about your secret identity, I really don't know why you still ignored me and didn't change your name as I told you.”

“Your late father would kill me if anything happens to you before we complete the mission.” Mr Jackson Alfred said as he took a deep breath.

He was seated in the driver's seat of a fully reinforced military grade version of a never-seen-before Lamborghini STO.

“Mr Jackson, I choose to run away and hide from the Scott's family, that doesn't mean I should renounce my father's name.”

“The whole purpose of this mission is to keep his name alive right?”

“Why the heck then should I be changing my name to whatever it was you recommended?” Abel Scott immediately asked.

“Lord Abel Scott, I am really sorry for that, but you and I know that you are the only true heir left of the great Scott's family, Lord Ammon Vandel’s sons are just posers, should anything happen to you…”

“I will be forced to end my very life!” Mr Jackson Alfred said with some much determination in his voice.

“Mr Jackson Alfred, you will do no such thing.”

“Speaking of which, where the heck are you right now?” Abel Scott asked.

“I'm currently at the street leading to the super mall, is there any issue Lord Abel Scott?” Mr Jackson Alfred asked slowly.

“Not really, but we just got kicked out of Lawrence's family mansion by you know who.”

“That poor lady Natasha Lawrence, right?”

“Yes, she apparently thinks I'm worthless and she decided to throw myself, Sarah and Mrs Elena Lawrence out of the mansion.”

“I need you to find a seven star hotel and purchase it in my name immediately.”

“We are going to be needing a better place than this shit-hole lady Natasha Lawrence calls a mansion.” Abel Scott said as he watched Sarah Lawrence and her mom sit by the side of the street.

“Who the heck does Lady Natasha Lawrence really think she is?” He immediately added.

“Mister Abel, I think I have a better idea, and you are going to love it!”

“I recently recovered some documents from your dad's archive, it turns out Mr Andrew Scott has actually been to this City before now.”

“It turns out that your family, under the control of your dad, owns the Luxury brand called Lotus group and some chain of luxury villas not just far from here.”

“So I will advise you to bring Sarah Lawrence over to one of the mansions, it's the least you can do for the lady that risked everything for you, even her very own eyesight.” Mr Jackson Alfred said as he stared at his dashboard.

“You know what, Mr Jackson Alfred, you are very correct, Sarah Lawrence might not know that I'm the boy she saved that day at the prison morgue, but it doesn't really matter.”

“I will find a way to repay her for her kindness, all of it!”

“Even if it's the last thing I do.”

“Mr Jackson Alfred, I need you here immediately, so that you can take us to the villa already, it's getting pretty late.” Abel Scott said as he started heading towards Mrs Elena and Sarah Lawrence who were still wondering how to survive their current predicament.

“No issues, Lord Abel Scott, I know exactly what to do.” With that said, the phone was immediately hung up by Abel Scott.

Walking over to Sarah Lawrence, he held her by her hand and slowly whispered into her ears, “It's going to be okay.”

Ten minutes later, an Escalade SUV pulled up in front of the place where Abel Scott, Mrs Elena Lawrence and Sarah Lawrence were seated.

A man in a black suit and well polished Oxford luxury shoes slowly stepped out of the Escalade SUV.

He was accompanied by a lady that carried a black briefcase behind him.

“I'm sorry, Mrs Sarah Lawrence, we have been looking everywhere for you, we just came from the address that we had some years ago but it turns out you are no longer living at the Lawrence's family mansion…”

“I'm really sorry, who are you again?!” Mrs Elena Lawrence immediately asked as she stared askance at Mr Jackson Alfred.

“My name is Thomas…Wilson.”Mr Jackson Alfred lied immediately.

“Sarah Lawrence, your daughter had just won herself a luxury mansion from the Lotus group, I was sent here by the new owner…Mr Schmidt.” He said, staring at Abel Scott.

“Mr Schmidt would like you to take a look at the mansion and perhaps start living in it as soon as possible.”

Sarah Lawrence was immediately shocked.

“Mr Thomas Wilson, are you really sure about this?” Sarah asked.

“Yes I'm sure, if you don't mind I will take you people there immediately.” Mr Jackson Alfred said as he spared a glance at Abel Scott.

“Let's go check it out!” Sarah Lawrence said excitedly.

Mr Jackson Alfred immediately signalled and the lady helped Mrs Elena load up their bags into the boot of the Escalade SUV.

“We will be at the Lotus group mansion in no time.”  Mr Jackson Alfred said as the car zoomed off.

    All Sarah Lawrence saw was a shining light and then everything became pitch black accompanied with searing pain.“My eyes! What the hell; my eyes” Sarah Lawrence dropped to her knees, clawing at her cheeks trying to take off the pain she felt.Sarah Lawrence stretched her hands forward, blindly reaching for something; anything that could make the pain stop while the liquid burned deeper. Bang! Sarah Lawrence could only hear muffled sounds from the blow one of the gang members left on her face. Five men who stood over six feet entered the apartment, Their faces were covered and the word PRAY tattooed on their neck. “What’s going on, Sarah?” “Who are these people,Sarah?” Elena Lawrence asked, moving towards the door. One of the men with a hand as large as an elephant trunk jacked Elena Lawrence up by her shirt and threw her like a rag doll.“Ah!” Elena Lawrence screamed her back landing on the television screen and her face stumbling first into the center table in the living room

    “Abel, breakfast is ready” Sarah’s voice echoed through the house.“I’m coming,” Abel Scott replied. He crossed the tie on his neck to the right, to form a knot. Then he moved it back and back to the right. He was confused on what way to go. Abel Scot sighed, dragging the tie off his neck. “I guess that is it” “Abel” Sarah called again from the living room. “Your food is going to get cold” Abel looked at the ceiling pleading for some invention of some sort. “I will be there shortly”“Hmmm..” Abel Scott took a slow breath as he walked into the living room, letting the warm aroma fill his lungs. “Is that scrambled eggs and toasted bread I perceive?” He asked.“Oh yes, coupled with the faint aroma of fresh coffee.” Sarah Lawrence added, a warm gently spreading across her face. “Oh! My favorite” Abel Scott said, dragging the chair to sit down. Abel Scott grabbed a fork and shoveled clumps of the scrambled eggs into his mouth, barely chewing, he grabbed the toasted bread and ripped it

    The apartment was not like the mansion but it was comfortable. Cracked sidewalks snaked through weedy grass. Most of the building's paint was falling apart and sagging roofs moving like they were tired of standing. A rusting mini van with two Missing wheels sat as a permanent fixture beside the curb. The sun peeped through the windows of the apartment casting golden stripes on the little desk that now serves as desk and dinner for Abel Scott and his family at the apartment. He stares blankly into the laptop screen sitting comfortably on the desk as he prepares his resume. “What are you doing,darling?” Sarah Lawrence asked, running her fingers through Abel Scott’s hair.“I’m preparing a resume and cover letter for my application.” Abel Scott said. “Wow that’s amazing, babe!” Sarah Lawrence was elated. She bent over to plant a kiss on Abel Scott's cheeks. “What role are you applying for, darling?” Sarah Lawrence enquired.“I’m writing to express my interest in the Warehouse Supervis

    “What!”“Mum, what is it?” Sarah Lawrence asked. Every eye in the hospital lobby now fixated on Elena Lawrence.Elena Lawrence stood still, her eyes wide open. Finally shaking off the shock, she whispered “The mansion is on fire”“What mansion?” “Mr Schmidt mansion!”“I can’t believe this, why do bad things keep happening to us?”Abel Scott Excused himself to answer his ringing phone. It was Mr Jackson Alfred calling to give him a report on the situation. Elena Lawrence gave Abel Scott an angry stare. “Hello, Hello! Elena are you there” Mr Zack Lawrence's voice echoed through the phone. “Yes, my love. I’m with you.”“What do we do now?” Elena Lawrence asked her husband “Stay where you are, Mr Jackson Alfred and I are coming to pick you guys up”Elena Lawrence cuts the call and lets out a long, weary sigh. “This is really sad”“Where is that good for nothing man called Abel Scott?” Elena Lawrence eyes scanning through the lobby like a vicious dog.“Abel Scott can never be relied u

    Six hours later…Abel Scott and Mrs Elena Lawrence are still waiting for the doctor's response in the other ward as the surgery proceeds.“Abel, do you in any way know how we can be able to get access to this Mr Schmidt?” Mrs Elena Lawrence asked as she stared at the clock on the wall.“I'm really sorry Mrs Elena Lawrence, why would you assume that I would know of Mr Schmidt's whereabouts?”“I really don't know anything about Mr Schmidt.”“I know you don't, but what of Mr Jackson Alfred, the one who for God knows why lied to us that his Mr Thomas Wilson?”“If you can at least talk to him and get him to maybe book an appointment with Mr Schmidt for us, that would be really great.”“We need to find out who Mr Schmidt is and why he is helping Sarah Lawrence, my daughter.” Mrs Elena Lawrence said as she faked a smile towards Abel Scott.“Mrs Elena, I don't think that would be a great idea, Mr Jackson Alfred is a very busy man, and I don't think he can even help us get across to Mr Schmidt

    “Abel, how do you propose we fix my daughter's blindness?” Mr Zack Lawrence immediately asked.“Well a friend of mine, who happens to be a medical doctor, has offered to help us fix Sarah's blindness.”“I know it's a lot to take in, I know you people have actually tried a lot of doctors, but my intel has assured me that Doctor Philip really knows how to fix Sarah.”“Your intel?” Mrs Elena Lawrence asked, her eyebrows furrowed in a show of curiosity and bewilderment.“I meant my friend who is a doctor, he can fix Sarah.”“I have already booked an appointment at his office tomorrow morning.” Abel Scott said as he gazed at Mr Zack Lawrence, his father-in-law.“Very well, Abel, I will permit you to take my daughter for the twentieth hospital check since she got her eyes damaged.”“Wait a minute, do you actually keep tabs on that, dad?” Sarah Lawrence immediately asked as she stared at her dad's direction even though she was blind.“Yes, Sarah, I have actually been keeping tabs on a lot o
