218: Get Ready
While that was ongoing, Sharon turned towards Star and chimed in, “Even in the shadows, he cared for Gabrielle more than you had.”Star froze in the process and could swear knowing the same thing. Little wonder that when she perceived his cologne at the hospital, she believed the good Samaritan was him, and the whole cover-up story from Leonard didn't really click for her.Star's knees buckled with emotions as she sniffled in guilt over how an exiled warlord, whom she denied access to the property he paid for, was knocked down by a moving car, would still find a way to be there for the little girl he was told wasn't his.Star inquired in a low tone. “But could that be possible?”Sharon gave a calm beam. “Have you wondered why Gabrielle is always happier after attending her art and dance sessions?”Star narrowed her eyes as the past events struck her once again. She had been distracted so much that she couldn't notice what had been staring right at her eyes all along and it took someon
217: The High Table
Dr. Lloyd stared at Star Hayden who in return gave him a blank wink. He redirected his focus on Sharon Grace and nodded.Sharon stepped out from the wallpaper and approached them with her arms folded.From her expression, she didn't quite know where to begin, but she knew she had to talk about it regardless.She reached out to Dr. Lloyd's hands and mouthed in calmness. “We really need your help, doctor.” He watched her with an inquiring glance, wondering what she meant.Star leaned closer and was struck in anticipation. She didn't understand what ‘we’ represented. The last time she checked she hadn't known the real Sharon till barely two hours ago.Dr. Lloyd had wanted to ask the obvious question thudding in his heart but chose to stay silent and listen further.“We need you to get us to the high table for an audience.”Dr. Lloyd grinned for a moment and ceased laughing when her expression remained serious.“Wait? You're actually serious? Get you to the high table? What exactly are we
216: “We're Even”
Dr. Lloyd and Star gazed in outright confusion and followed behind in slight hesitation. Sharon leaned closer to Star again and whispered, “I once told you that I'd tell you all therein but I'd need your help and that of another.”Star nodded affirmatively as she remembered Sharon had made similar statements less than an hour ago.Sharon beamed and completed her punchy speech. “It seemed like what I was looking for had tiptoed to my doorstep.”Star winked at Dr. Lloyd to get into the living room. Her curiosity piqued per second and she'd love to see how everything would unfold.Dr. Lloyd’s heartbeat jolted in uncertainty as he adhered and walked beside Star while led by Sharon Grace.It was weird that he was supposed to obtain information about Sharon and Star without raising eyebrows. Not only was he caught— he was also invited inside to hear the full information he sought.He didn't make sense of what Sharon was up to but whatever it was should be better than pulling the trigger on
215: One Stone For Multiple Birds
Dr. Lloyd swallowed, the sweat not only clustered on his face but was also evident in his palms. His eyes widened while responding in a stutter tone, “I-I, emm… let's just pretend like y'all didn't… see me. I'd leave immediately…” Sharon Grace let out a short, sinister scoff and moved closer to him, the pistol firm in her fingers. “I didn't know a comedian came spying in my household. You must really have some nerves. Don't you?” In seconds, Star's eyes flickered a thousand times, still struck in confusion on what to say and how to come in with the situation. She didn't suspect for a moment that Dr. Lloyd would tail her down to Sharon's apartment. There was something about his presence that she hadn't figured out, although he didn't strike her as a criminal. Then her voice hit across the ongoing back and forth, “Dr. Lloyd, are you working for Felix Jacobs, did he get you into all of this?” Dr. Lloyd huffed with mixed emotions, his eyes darted in puzzlement, “Felix? Oh n
214: Hidden-Compartment
Alias Raphael’s shoulders quivered in goosebumps as his fingers slowly withdrew to his waist. His heart raced in shock as he bulged his eyes in disbelief.He literally held his chest with his hand to control his skipping heartbeat. He stepped to the bathroom to indulge the caller, but the call disconnected on his way, while a text message came in that summarized why the caller buzzed his phone the first time.Hence, he hadn't been receiving a call like the chief enforcer, ‘Mr. Owen and others had thought…Sharon Grace returned to the living room with an unpredictable beam curled on her left lip.She walked closer with her arms folded, as if there was an intent behind her gesture. Start Hayden watched closely after noticing the difference in demeanor.Sharon strode towards one of the artistic wallpaper and unmounted it. The wall had a hidden compartment with a safe box containing buttons, as if something was safeguarded within it.Star watched with narrowed eyes and wanted to spill a w
213: No Business With Living
“With how you smacked his face on the parade ground. No one would have believed you were elated about your father's demise. You wreck them emotionally and give a befitting show!”Those words spilled from the chief executor, who was also in the large room, to receive feedback on the meeting with Margaret Julian.During their last meeting, they signaled Alias Raphael to carry out the pretentious card to lure his half-sister in for an obvious purpose.‘Mr. Owen’s return might seem like a surprise to others, but the chief enforcer had been working with him closely after his decision to give his nephew hints about being alive.The best play was to bring Alias Raphael back on board with the strategic snapped shots to get his half-sister on her toes.Alias Raphael's tone oozed with intent, “Awwn! You heard of my performance that fateful day? I had everyone emotionally played on my father's purported assassination. I couldn't have him swaying them with his confident speech about his father be
