Chapter eight
Kate knew why he was saying all that but she didn't feel bad in any way because she somehow liked her.
So she stared in the direction where Cindy was going, she tapped Dave on his shoulder and tilted her head,
"Is that so?" Kate asked and gasped for air, "If we can't fight her, then let's make her our friend." She said and followed the exact direction where Cindy was heading to.
Cindy was deeply in thought that she didn't know what was transpiring around her, but she jolted back to presence immediately she heard someone's voice behind her.
"Hi Cindy, am Kate... Kate Williams." Saying that she sat down on the pavement that was just beside her, Cindy face palmed, and looking at her, she asked, "You know my name... huh? You were not in the college before I left, so how come you know about me?" Cindy asked peacefully.
"Like seriously? Are you asking me such a question?" Kate asked arrogantly as she smiled wildly at Cindy who was fully surprised by her arrogant behaviour.
"So Kate, how may I be of help to you?" Cindy asked again crossing her arms over her chest and giving her a quick glance.
"Cindy..., it's obvious you like asking questions," She paused as she looked away from her and nodded. She didn't like how Cindy was asking her lots of questions, but she decided to let her know why she was there.
"Okay Cindy, I want us to be friends, are you okay with that?" Kate asked.
Cindy tilted her head, looking coyly at her, she said, "Okay that's fine, provided you won't involve me in any mess."
She said that because Kate's arrogance was not hidden, adding that she never knew her in the first place so that she won't put her into trouble.
She accepted to be her friend but she still keeps distance, she knew that Kate wasn't her type of person and of cause everybody won't be as gentle as she is, so she somehow liked her brutality.

Eduardo left his office very late because of some document he needed to sign.
Immediately he got to a particular place on his way home, a big truck that was behind him suddenly fell break and it almost hit his car but he was fast enough to dodge it, the truck fell in the middle of the road and that stopped him from moving further.
Stepping out of his car, two guys came rushing towards him from nowhere, reaching close to him they pointed a gun at him from a different direction.
"Move it...," One of the guys ordered him pointing at a narrow road and he shrugged and followed them.
He actually knows how to handle this kind of people, but he wanted to know who was behind the whole thing and exactly what he wanted from him.
So the slight opportunity he had, he quickly texted Dean and relaxed.
Reaching their destination, they open the entrance door that leads into an old abandoned building. Looking at the old building one could see apparently that is a 'no go' area.
Immediately he entered the building, he examined the whole building looking around and he found out that they were few men in there, so he followed them patiently.
They didn't strike him as it was not part of the instructions, what they needed was just some of his access, so they continued pushing him as he was walking gallantly, not showing any gesture of fear.
Based on Cain's first encounter with Eduardo, Cain knew how tough and cruel Eduardo could be.
'Eduardo letting us capture him so easily and still didn't fight to escape...huh,' He cleared his throat,
'There's something behind his action and who knows what he planned this time?' He thought for himself but still couldn't figure out his plans, fear slowly gripped him.
So they actually suspected him, but what plan did he have and in which way?..., they didn't know.
"Guy, there's something I don't understand," Cain said walking away from Eduardo.
"What do you mean?" Rock asked with a husky voice and continued while following him.
"Cain look... You don't need to understand anything, what we need to do now is to figure out how to have his pieces of jewellery." Saying that he went back to speak with Eduardo without listening to what Cain was saying.
'Rock!...' Cain sighed and continued with his thoughts, 'Rock won't understand..., this guy can't be this calm if he has no hidden intention.'
Cain walked out of the room with his fist clenched as he paced around before going back to the room.
Eduardo was still calm and waiting for them to make calls in his presence but they didn't, suddenly, he heard one of the guys talking.
"You don't need to understand anything." He could only hear a few words before he saw them coming back.
Both of them returned to the room where Eduardo was and suddenly he reacted angrily, how he loosed the rope nobody knows and all the men in the building groaned in pain as their bones clacked.
Before Dean got there with the FBI, Eduardo had squeezed the life out of them, one after the other and was sitting on a stool holding Rock's phones.
The big door opened and immediately Eduardo looked up he saw Dean.
Dean rushed into the building thinking that he would find Eduardo tied up but he was surprised by what he saw, rushing close to him,
"I thought as much," Dean said as he walked around him and didn't see any stain on his clothes but saw a few men moaning in pain on the ground.
"Stop staring at me Dean, just give me your car key... You can stay back and watch them to your satisfaction." Saying that Eduardo started walking out of the building.
"No! No! No!..., am right behind you." Saying that he followed him briskly, they entered the car and both of them drove away.
Immediately the car stopped at his place, Dean looked at him and he could see that he was still very angry, his eyes were red and a hot breathe was coming out of his nostril, so he walked into the house just like a ghost and Dean followed him without saying a word.
When he noticed that Dean was following him, he halted while removing a phone from his pocket,
"This phone belongs to their leader, check if we can get tangible information in it." Giving Dean the phone, he turned his back on him before speaking,
"You can go now." He said strictly and went to his room, then Dean left and went back straight to his house.
******
Sincerely, he missed Cindy a lot, as she went to college, Dean was left alone just like before but this time around he felt lonely because he has stayed with Cindy for a few weeks and he has gradually become used to not staying alone in his big house.
He went to his room and after taking his shower, he laid down on the bed but couldn't sleep, so he decided to call her even though it was late.
Cindy was still awake as she was studying and her cell phone buzzed, she looked at her phone and picked. She didn't hesitate to pick up the call with the thought that her brother was calling.
"Hello...," She said excitedly and her voice was booming with happiness.
"Hi Cindy..., how are you coping over there?" He asked, taking a deep breath, he ran his fingers through his hair and asked again,
"Are you finding anything difficult?"
"No..., I am fine with how everything is and am gradually getting used to their system already."
She explained calmly, her voice was still pure and innocent, immediately he heard her voice, he felt elated and wished that the call should never end.
"So tell me, do you have friends now?" He asked because the little time he stayed with her, he noticed that she was always isolated.
"Yea...erm, there's this friend of mine, her name is Kate and she is a tough girl, Dean, you need to see her." She explained as she was smiling.
"Really?" He asked and hearing how she was talking about this friend of hers, he chuckled.
"So is that why you've totally forgotten me?" He asked
"No!..., how can I do that? It's just that I am...I am..." she trailed off as she tried to explain to him why she hasn't called him but he felt like there was no need for that so he cut her words.
"It's okay, my regards to her and Cindy please stay safe." He said.
"Are you angry?" She asked worriedly.
"No!..., now that I know you are safe and happy, I can go to bed now." Cindy chuckled and that was the first time he heard her laugh so he closed his eye and calmly listened to her voice like he wanted to engross it all in his head because it sounds so sweet and angelic.
Chapter nine 'Why is this girl so innocent? There's something special about her.' Thoughtfully he asked and reshuffled his hair and shortly she stopped laughing. "Okay..., sleep tight." She said calmly and he was like not yet because he still want to hear her voice, but he didn't know what to ask her again so he kept quiet for a while before he said, "It's alright Cindy, good night." And disconnected. He took a deep breath as he laid back on the bed, staring up at the ceiling, he didn't know when he slept off. ****** She woke up the moment the reflection of the sun stroked her eyes through the window, slightly she opened her eyes and with the back of her palm she rubbed her eyes, 'O my God, am late.' She thought and swung her legs down from the bed. She hurriedly went to the bathroom and took her bath, immediately after she was done, she quickly dressed up not bothered about her breakfast, then picked up her purse and rushed out of the room. On her way, she collided with some
Chapter ten 'Never..., I'll rather die than let anybody know the truth.' Mr Black said in his mind, clearing his throat he stepped down from the bed slowly and strode close to a drawer that only he knows what was inside, And slightly he tap on it with his index finger, after awhile he went back, laid down on the bed and looked at the ceiling. He knew that it was only Cindy that can fight him if she has the means, but now that the whole truth was still hidden between them, he was going to die and be buried with the hidden truth and nobody would discover it. He didn't know that the original file of ownership to the company was with someone that he never thought of and the person has been working in the company for many years. He didn't know that the assistant manager of Mega Link Limited knew the whole truth about everything. She knew that he was the one behind the terror that befall his brother and his family and yet he took over his company. ****** Mrs Rose has been the one tak
Chapter Eleven"That's good, just do the necessary things, and let the managers know about it... anything else?" Eduardo asked."That's all, Sir," Fredrick answered and left.Later on, Eduardo mulled over what Fredrick said, so he decided to host a party for all his workers.All of them had been faithful to the company and hard-working, the sweet part of the whole thing was that non of them has ever make any attempt to steal from the company.He didn't let them know about the preparation, he planned everything to be a surprise for them.******Cindy later joined the dancing group and they were doing very well, even lecturers were recommending the group to friends and family.They've gone to different events to entertain people. Anytime they are presenting, it surprises many because they do it with passion and agility as if they were born into it and that makes their group so different.They grew to the point that they were only invited by wealthy and well-to-do people all over the sta
Chapter TwelveHe was putting on a black shirt and black pants, with a long black jacket that made him look more dangerous and as handsome as inhumanly beautiful demons in fictional books.Immediately, Dean dropped the device driver on the table and smiled seeing how he was standing at the fireplace and his appearance looked fearful.He stood there for a moment before he walked to him and asked,"I hope you're not expecting me to run away from my own... house."Dean said as he strained the last two words."And where did you think you'll run to, you rascal?" Edurado asked lazily, went to a sofa and sit down."Like seriously, you look like an assassin on a mission," Dean said teasingly. He went closer to the table, carried his laptop and gave it to Eduardo."Just pray that you are not the next target," Eduardo said as he smirked at him and collected the laptop from him.Hearing his banter, Dean laughed and sat down close to him and said,"I pray so boss...but before that, I think you sh
Chapter Thirteen"Don't worry about me...mother, I can take care of myself, besides, I'm no longer a kid, I'll be fine." Saying that he ran his fingers through his hair."It's alright my dear, enjoy your day." She said and Eduardo left.She went back and sat down, so the Butler served her meal. She ate till she was satisfied and went into her room to prepare for her day to days activities.Eduardo reached his office very late and as the party was tomorrow he had to let all the workers know.He called Fredrick and immediately he saw his call he picked up."Hello, Sir," He greeted."Meet me in my office," Eduardo requested and disconnected. A few minutes later Fredrick knocked at the door and he answered,"Come in," His voice sounded so peaceful. Fredrick walked into the office and greeted him."Good morning, Mr Eduardo.""Good morning, Fredrick... I want to speak to everyone, just make it quick." Eduardo said and continued with what he was doing, then Fredrick went and informed others
Chapter Fourteen"Sorry about that, Where is my mother?""She didn't tell you before living?" Jessica asked and he was just staring at her."Erm... She has gone back to the state," Jessica answered."You mean, she travelled back to the state?" Eduardo was a bit surprised like his mother had never behaved this way before, then he thought to himself,'Maybe she thought she has succeeded with her mission by bringing this girl to my house, but is that why she didn't even let me know that she was living.' He shrugged and clearing his throat, he asked,"There's a party tomorrow, you can come along, or..." He asked and Jessica didn't bother to think and accepted the offer immediately."Yes! I will go with you." She nodded."Alright till then, make yourself comfortable." He uttered and went to the dining table, he didn't invite her to join him at the dining table at first and that made it clear to Jessica that she had to do some things herself. She was about to go back to her room when she
Chapter FifteenAfter the first dance, the group performed another dance and some people came out to dance with their partners.Jessica waited for Eduardo to ask her for a dance but as she didn't see any sign of him asking, she then decided to ask him, but surprisingly Eduardo rejected her request.Jessica was so angry but it never showed in her expression, she faked a smile anytime Eduardo gazed at her.A few minutes later the group came down to dance with the people, Cindy could be seen dancing in the middle of the hall, and suddenly she felt a hand around her waist."Can I have a dance with you?" She heard a tick and cold voice behind her, she slowly turned and saw a handsome man standing before her."Of course." She responded lowly, she felt she had seen the face somewhere before but she couldn't recall."I'm sorry but do I know you?" Cindy asked staring at the young man but he only smirked without saying a word.Eduardo was so amazed at the dancer's beauty that he couldn't help b
Chapter SixteenEduardo said, though he didn't mean what he said, he only wanted to see the girl's face again. He recalled that she was the dancer at his party days ago but he pretended to not remember.He hasn't felt this way with anyone for a long time, and he doesn't understand what was going on with him."I will be there..." Cindy said and watched the man drove away.Cindy went to kate and said, "I am sorry kate, I caused a lot of havoc."She started crying and kate hugged her tightly, then after a moment she said, "You did the right thing, I am sorry I pushed you into it but don't worry we would sort it out." Kate consoled her.Immediately the car stopped at the shopping mall, Cindy looked at Kate with a questioning eyes but Kate didn't say anything.Kate wiggled a bit and asked, "Surprised?... Oh come on, let go in and pick up some items." Saying that she started walking into the shopping mall and Cindy rushed to stop her, standing in front of Kate, she asked, "kate, like serio
