"I'll be outside if you need me." my uncle said and left with everything in his hands.
"What's wrong with your uncle?" Tamira asked.
"I have no idea," I replied.
Tamira shrugged. "I have to go now. I'll see you whenever." She said.
"Goodbye," I said and she left the house while I remained inside. My uncle came in seconds after Tamira left.
"Who was your friend there?" Uncle asked.
"By the way you behaved, I'd say you already knew who she was," I said.
Uncle looked around nervously. " are you looking for?" I asked him.
"Me? Nothing. I just need a spot to place these things." Uncle said.
"There is space everywhere. Why search?" I asked.
Uncle put the things aside and sat on a mat. "Never mind that Devon. I think I need some air. Please leave and let me rest a while." Uncle told me.
"Okay. If that's what you want." I said and exited the house.
Uncle Francis was hiding something but what? I have to find out but I also have this Tamira issue to deal with. Just then I saw Jason approaching. That's right, I had forgotten about him.
Jason frowned. "So you decided to hit a ride home and abandon me there?" he complained.
"My apologies but it was necessary for the plan. She had to see where I lived and I doubt she'd walk here with the both of us." I explained.
"You look troubled," Jason said.
"Don't worry about it. It's nothing.
Nothing could ever get passed, Jason. He knew me so well.
"Just tell me about it," Jason said. I decided not to drag things further and just speak up.
I held Jason's arm and took him a distance from my house before finally letting go of his arm. I didn't want my uncle to hear us.
"It's about my uncle," I said to Jason.
"Your uncle? What did your uncle do?" Jason asked.
"Nothing exactly but he acted strangely in front of Tamira Wilson the moment he saw her. I suspect that it's either they know each other or there is something else involving the Wilsons that my uncle knows and is not willing to share with me." I explained to Jason.
"I'm sure it's nothing. He saw a new face in the house and probably just freaked out or something. You know your uncle is aware that you are after getting revenge. He didn't expect you would go as far as bringing a member of the Wilson family into your home." Jason said.
"No. I doubt that. My gut is never wrong. And right now, my gut is telling me that my uncle knows something I don't" I replied Jason.
"If what you said was the case, my uncle wouldn't have asked me to give him some space. You should have seen the way he was shaking and stammering." I told Jason.
"If that is the case then you must be right then." Jason agreed.
"What is going to be your next step? Are you focusing on Tamira or do you want to find out about what your uncle is hiding first?" Jason asked me.
"You know what? I will handle Tamira but I want you to do something for me and do it well." I said.
"What is it?" Jason asked.
"Keep an eye on my uncle. I feel that he will surely want to meet someone. If he was shocked to see Tamira in our house then there must have been some agreement of some kind. You know?" I said.
"Yes. I will watch him carefully." Jason assured me.
"That includes night time Jason," I said.
"That doesn't matter Devon. I am with you all the way." Jason said and placed his hand on my shoulder. I was proud to have such a loyal friend in him.
"When is your next meeting with your to-be wife going to be?" Jason joked and I nudged him with my elbow.
"How sure are you that my plans will succeed?" I asked him.
"When has it ever failed? Just tell me what's your next move?" Jason said.
"It's going to be tonight. Tamira Wilson will be out clubbing with her friends. There is a high chance she will get drunk." I said.
"I thought you said she was a decent girl. How is it that she will get drunk tonight?" Jason asked.
"One, she always goes out clubbing with her girls on Saturdays. Number two, she is highly likely to get herself drunk after an argument with her mother over me. She drinks a lot when she is angry." I said.
Jason looked at me in astonishment. "Wow. You are a master planner Devon," he said.
"I didn't spend all those years studying them for nothing. I was born with the intelligence I needed for this." I replied.
"I can see that," Jason said.
"The area she would go clubbing in is a very dangerous one. Men there prey on drunk ladies and by the time she is done with clubbing, all of her friends go their way. Never mind all this Jason. The main idea is that I will be the one to help her out of trouble and take her home." I said.
"Okay-okay," Jason said.
Tamira POV:
*Later that night*
"Yes girls, tonight is going to be lit!" I said, excitedly into the phone.
Someone knocks on my door. I moved my phone away, "Come in." I said and placed the phone back on my ear.
The door opened, revealing a maid. "Sir and Ma'am are back miss." the maid said.
"Okay," I told the maid and she left.
"See you girls by eight at the club okay?" I told them during the audio call on W******p and hung up.
I got off the bed and left my room. After reaching the bottom of the stairs, I spot my parents. I ran to my dad first and hugged him.
"Welcome back dad. I missed you so much. How was the trip?" I asked him.
"Everything went great my dear," Dad replied.
"Ehem." Mom cleared her throat.
"If you didn't notice, I'm here too," she said and rolled her eyes.
I went to hug her but she didn't hug me back. "After all, I'm the less loved parent," Mom added.
"Don't speak like that honey," Dad told Mom. "Why shouldn't I? It's the truth." Mom said.
"Don't mind her hun. She is just jealous of me." Dad said to me and I laughed.
Dad was about to sit down but mom gestured for him not to. "Hold on," she said.
Mom called for a maid and one came to answer her. "Did you disinfect the sofa as I told you to?" Mom asked.

"Okay. I'll go now." I said to mother. "Be careful," she replied as she waved at me. I went from enough and then hid among the trees before changing into city clothes. I found my eyes in the city and although I was amazed at what it looked like, I felt familiar with it. I breathed in some air and then coughed. What was that? I turned and saw a car. Smoke was coming out of the other end. I ran away from it and I almost got hit by another one which was passing by. I ran out of the way and after I did, I saw the car reverse and stop. A door opened and I ran into hiding. I watched from my hiding spot as a man came out of the car and began to yell. "Tamira," he said. I watched him give up and return to the car. The car drove away and I came out of where I was hiding. Was that man going to run me over on purpose? And how crazy can the people here get? Just came out and shouted then returned to his car. Strange. I strolled around the city, making sure not to forget the road I took to
Chapter 127
... *FLASHBACK* TAMIRA POV: Mrs Wilson jammed me off the road and as my car crashed, some part of it jammed into my stomach. I crept out of my car in great pain. I already regretted trying to escape on my own in the first place but maybe it's better than another day with that witch. I lay on my back on the floor and the last image I saw was Mrs Wilson's face staring down at me as she stood over me triumphantly. My eyes shut down and all around me was nothing but darkness. *After that moment*I opened my eyes and found myself in a strange place. "Where... Where am I?" I questioned as I sat up and placed my palm on my aching forehead. I looked around from where I was seating up and saw that I was in some sort of shelter that looked like huts from tribes in the old days. I tried to get off what I took to be the bed but my stomach pains struck and I screamed. A woman ran into the hut."Are you alright?!" she exclaimed. I shifted away from her as she stepped closer. "Who are you?" I a

"Devon stop! Stop it!" Jason shouted and dragged me to himself. I began to punch Jason in the stomach but Jason held me tight in a hug. Tears escaped my eyes and soon I weakened. "I love her so much Jason. How can I live without her? What good is the money without her?" I whispered. I knew Jason was in pain from the punches I gave him but he did not bring it up, "you have to let her go Devon. You have to." Jason said to me, softly and I cried. "She is not dead. And I will find her." I said. I parted from Jason and looked at Mrs Wilson one last time. "Let's go," I said to them and turned away, heading out of the building. It was another one-hour drive before I reached what was now known to be my mansion instead of the Wilsons'. Mr Hamilton had already gone back home. I was about to walk into my home when Jason stopped me, "if you want I can stay back. Just to keep you company." Jason said to me. "Thank you. But I think I'll stay alone." I replied. Jason stood there until I closed

With the speed I was in, it didn't take long before I reached the police station. I hopped out of my car and pushed away the officer who wanted to approach me. I passed the gates and entered the main building. "Where is she?!" I asked the first officer I saw in the police station. "Where is who?" he questioned me. "Mrs Wilson! Where is she?!" I answered. "Why are you looking for her sir?" the officer asked me, not minding how I barged in. I left the officer standing there and went in to look through the cells. "I know you are here Mrs Wilson Wilson! Show yourself right now!" I shouted. I searched all the cells but failed to find her. I came out and walked straight to the officer I had left and I grabbed him by the collar. "How come she is not in there?! So you people dared to release her?! Die she find extra money to bribe you with?!" I yelled at the officer. "Call down sir!" the officer exclaimed. "You dare tell me to calm down?!" I replied, ready to throw a punch at his fa

"Me Devon Wilson." someone among them said my name. All the people present in the meeting got up and did not stop staring at me. "We never thought we would be in the same room with the next big thing," he spoke again. "Yes. The next big thing." Mr Hamilton said and walked towards me. After reaching where I was, Mr Hamilton saw Gale and Jason standing t the door. Mr Hamilton glared at Gale and then turned to me, "Sir what are you doing here?" Mr Hamilton asked me. "I came to ask you about Tamira," I answered. "Right now? Mr Devon, I thought I already told you about it. What happened in the past." Mr Hamilton said, almost in a whisper. We both spoke in a tone that we wouldn't be heard by the people from the meeting. "Not that Mr Hamilton. I need to find her right now." I said to Mr Hamilton. "What?!" Mr Hamilton exclaimed and then placed his hand over his mouth when he realized he shouted it. "Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen." Mr Hamilton said and came out of the meeting room wit
Chapter 123
Just as I said that to Jason, I received a call. "Who is it?" Jason asked me. "I don't know. It doesn't say." I answered Jason. I answered the call and placed the phone on my ear, "hello?" I said. "Hello, Devon. How is your new life treating you?" the caller said. I recognized the voice to be Grenade's and I parked the car. "You bastard. Where are you?" I said to Grenade. "Who's that Devon?" Jason asked again. "It's Grenade," I answered Jason. "By the tone of your voice, I can tell you already know." Grenade said to me. "Yes, I know! How long did you think you could hide your real personality? So you were working with Mrs Wilson the entire time?!" I replied. I heard Grenade laugh from the other side of the phone, "I was once loyal but where did that get me? Nowhere! I worked next in command to Mr Cranston and what did that old fool do?! He gave all his money, all his property, to some newbie!" Grenade yelled. "And you. You of all people! You got all that and didn't even thin
