Victoria and Lucia clicked their tongues with sinister smirks curled across their cheeks.

They loved how Eunice and Lydia haven't lost their touch of venom, especially during times when eyebrows are raised on transactions.

They believed there was no way an investigator would tail them on their illegal business transactions and not have their heads on the platter.

Victoria winked at Eunice and Lydia, and a knowing smile consumed their faces. They have been together for decades and a mere stare would signal thousands of words.

Victoria leaned further, her feet elegantly crossed. “Unknown to the investigator, while he was spying on my clients who brought in the products, my positioned team caught a glimpse of his snooping.”

Eunice and Lydia’s eyelids blinked with curiosity. It was the first they'd learn of such. Most of the murdered investigators weren't detected while the business was ongoing.

“Due to how complex business has become in the past months. We had to hire a team of skilled a

    Achilles and the Faithfuls gave a light blush at the sound of that. She was definitely the lady for the job and she embodied her spying role within the shortest period.Brig. Beauty winked at her in admiration. “Well done, honey. Your balance would be wired to you. We have confirmed that the British Anti-Fraud Crime Commission would move for his prosecution. His deeds have caught up with him.”Achilles was the one who gave Stephanie’s contact to Brig. Beauty for the job but didn't want her to know about that.He had known the gorgeous curvy princess right from college days. During his peacekeeping mission in Egypt, while serving in the military, they explored Stephanie's expertise for an extraction job.Achilles winked at Brig. Beauty to proceed as earlier instructed.She indulged Stephanie before she forgot, “However, you'd need to temporarily relocate to a new apartment which would be provided. Abel could suspect you had a hand in his sudden downfall hence keeping you safe is import

    Meanwhile in the Faithfuls' penthouse suite. They sat with anticipation tugging in their eyes.Achilles sat behind them. He winked at Brig. Beauty who understood the message passed.Brig. Beauty nodded. “It's time. She'd be expecting the video call.”Margaret chimed in, “Let's go girl.”Brig. Beauty called a female personnel on a WhatsApp video call, and within ten seconds, the call connected.Brig. Beauty was the only one who could see and converse with the caller; both Achilles and the Faithfuls could hear the conversation, but wouldn't want their faces exposed.Without hesitation, the female personnel moved to the reason for the call after they had exchanged warm pleasantries.“Abel Hitler is definitely dirty. I got close to him as instructed and I wasn't hard at gaining some of his trust.”Brig. Beauty was recording the video call as instructed by Achilles. They'd want to access the conversation later on, and everything in between for future purposes.Brig. Beauty’s cheek bubbled

  • 65: Twist Of Events

    Eunice was plunged into thoughts. If she knew Felix and Abel wouldn't handle the situation well then she'd have pulled some strings from her contacts.With the growing tension on the present implicating news spreading about Victoria Stones and Lucia Montoya, it'd be the oddest time to seek their aid.Felix sighed at Star’s words, his face turning pale. “Oh, finally, someone has remembered to mention what I did earlier to resolve the arising issues three weeks ago? I thought you'd developed amnesia and forgot to thank me at least.”A hint of guilt flushed through Star's face but was quickly replaced with a mean demeanor:“Appreciate you for a bluff you pulled off? What's in here to thank you for? You brought more problems to our doorsteps by calling the head of the Anti-Fraud operation for assistance. Maybe if you had allowed us to prove our innocence under Mr. Rodriguez's supervision, all this wouldn't be happening.”Gabrielle widened her mouth and burst into laughter, which had their

    Barely twenty-four hours later, a staff member of Liverpool Anti-Fraud Crime Commission tracked his foot into an office with his eyes darting with caution.His cell phone was on an active call with another staff member in the building.He mouthed without delay, “I’m at the door. What should I do next?”“Good. The first code is 445781. You mustn't make a mistake, or the security alarm would be triggered, and you know the implications.”He nodded in acknowledgment, drew a deep breath before inputting the code numbers like his ears grasped.He indulged further, “It’s showing receiving authorization. Would the code work? Would the security alarm get triggered by chance?”His words dripped with a mix of caution and curiosity. He nudged his ear closer to the cell phone for a response.“Stay calm I've got this. I suspected the office door would have an advanced security trigger alarm so I’d advise you to input a code that ensures we extract the secret code.”The staff member did as he was to

    He indulged Achilles further. The faint smile wavering from his face:“Why wouldn't he or anyone suspect me after I spilled those empty threats to his face after losing the party primaries to him?”“Also, through Lucia's persistent advice, I tried to infiltrate his political circle to discredit him, but it didn't work. That was when I pulled out of politics and ventured into the Oil enterprise.”Once again, Lucia's name had been mentioned, and it did come with all shades of evil. Her role has been to keep the blood brothers apart making sure they didn't heal their decaying brotherhood.Mr. Montoya couldn't hold his emotions anymore. Gradually his eyelids glistened with tears. Achilles gave him a while to sniff out mucus from his nostrils.Smacking his forehead in regret, he spilled more words, “Despite feeling betrayed by him after he declared his ambition to contest for Prime Minister, why should I fault him for nursing the same political ambition as me? There are ways I should have

  • 62: Montoya's Regrets

    Mr. Montoya sniggered in self-realization while scratching his hair in an awakening state. His expected meeting with the mysterious masked hoodie-dressed man had pinched him back to reality.He couldn't deny Achilles' assertion about Lucia playing him all along. The warlord's keen explanation so far had shed more light on him being a pawn.Mr. Montoya went silent almost immediately after his last words, sucking his teeth on how he had been blinded by Lucia's seductive charm all these years.The scales had finally fallen off his eyes and thanks to Achilles for that.Mr. Montoya started overthinking and wondered if she was responsible for his first wife's tragic death given the fact she knew things about her before sneaking her way into his path.Achilles had similar thoughts that wavered through his mind. Still, he assumed Mr. Montoya's first wife's death could be natural, but represented a golden opportunity for Lucia's deceitful quest into his life.Mr. Montoya stroked his beard with
