View MoreIt proves to be a hectic day for Liam. He's been escorting Austin to the company houses built in Los Angeles. Austin expressed interest in owning a city house, and Liam graciously offered to personally show him around. Although the department head could have handled it, Liam decided to tour him around since he flew all the way from Miami. As they descend the stairs and leave the last house, Austin surveys the area and nods in approval. This is the kind of house he had in mind."What do you think? You must like this one. I see the way you took your time to inspect it." Liam said, gaining his attention."Yes, I'm impressed. Your team is hardworking. I love this one. How about we discuss it in your office before I head back to Miami?""Sure. I don't have a problem with that. I will see you in my office." He responded, and continued.

The weekend flew by, Laylah arrived at the company workspace as scheduled to inspect the building.She had to apply her usual makeup routine to avoid recognition, which proved effective for her. As she strode from one area to another, Mr. Martin and Mr. Fred walked behind her. This continued for the next ten minutes until Laylah came to a halt."Mr. Fred, I believe this place is spacious enough to construct the conference room." She suggested. Before Fred could respond, Martin interjected."In my opinion, given the layout of the company, this area would be perfect for the room." He added, turning to look at Fred."I don't have any objections to building it here. I'm your employee now, and I will support your decision." Fred stated firmly.Laylah glanced at him with a smile. "Two heads are better than one. You are here because you started this company. Please, let's hear your opinion."Fred nodded. "I initially wanted to use the other side, closer to the reception, as the conference r

As they entered the living room, they found the Mayor engrossed in the news. Their footsteps caught his attention, drawing him towards them. "Good morning! How was your time at the hospital?" He queried, they both look exhausted."It was fine, he's still unconscious. Do you have a moment? I need to speak with you." Rose asked, while Lydia headed upstairs."Of course. Please, take a seat." He gestured. She nodded and settled opposite him."I wanted to discuss Freya with you. I'm planning to relocate her, she will be discharged soon."The Mayor's expression paled, the idea didn't seem to please him."Are you suggesting we move her? I'm sorry, but she can't leave the country.""We can't ignore what happened. Please, allow me to take her out of the count
KAY'S EMBASSYThe music thundered loudly, boys and girls dancing to the beat in the background. In a spacious room, Kay sat, twirling a cigarette between his fingers, observing the ladies as they danced and swayed to the rhythm.His face bore a sinister smile, his aura radiating fear and ruthlessness. Disguised as a billionaire, Kay was the most feared mafia figure in Italy. Though suspicions surrounded his source of wealth, everything was meticulously covered up under the guise of legitimate business dealings.He set his cigarettes down, a small smile at the corner of his lips, he picked up his phone to check the notification he had just received. With a swipe, he opened the text message from his driver.He rose from his seat, dropped a hefty amount of money on the table and made his way out of the bar.

"Boss, your mobile phone, you have a call." Genius interjected amid his musings, bringing him back to the present. He grabbed his phone nearby and pressed the answer button. "I'm just catching up on the news. What happened to Jerry? Who did that to him?" He heard his uncle's voice."The news? When did it reach the media?" He sounded astonished, unaware that Jerry had been taken to the hospital by a group of people."Have you forgotten who we are? There's a picture and video of him being carried from outside.""I'm sorry, uncle, it's my fault. I will take accountability." If he hadn't ignored him, made him stay out in the rain, he wouldn't have fallen ill."What accountability? Investigate what happened and get back to me. Whoever is behind it won't escape punishment." It was high time he took matters into his own hands."I received a call from mother, the surgery went well. He will recover with time.""Okay. That's a relief. I have been anxious since I saw the news. Now I can relax.
The wait was taking longer this time, it's been pass an hour since they went back into the surgery room. Instead of just staying there and do nothing, Liam turned on his heels and stride to the parking.He opened his car, hopped inside, and drive out of the precinct. Liam reached out to his phone, and dialed genius contact, it rang the first time, but he didn't pick up.He tried for the second time, which he finally picked."Hello! I'm sorry, boss, I'm in the lecture room.""You will have to skip class, I will share you my location, come meet me there.""Okay." He responded, and they hanged up. Ten minutes later, Liam arrived at the location, to meet Genius already waiting for him.He hopped out of his car, and gave him his phones to hold on to it. "Boss! You don't sound okay, did something happen.""Jerry got stabbed, I don't even know if his dead or alive. Let's go inside, there's one person who can answer the questions."He turned towards the building in front of them, and they st
The drive to the hospital was fast, Liam drive into the parking lot and stepped out of his car. He sighted their family doctor speaking to a nurse, and decided to approach him."Good day Doctor!" He greeted, extending his hands to shake him, which he reciprocated instantly."Liam! I have been anticipating to see you. It's good you are around." He responded, as they disentangle their hands."I will wait, when you are done." He stood a distance, and waited for the doctor to get done. It didn't take long, he was done, and stride up to him."How's your wife?" That was the first question he asked him."My wife is fine, she was at the hospital earlier today. Perhaps you didn't get in contact with her." He had a bright smile on his face."I did! Your mother reached out to me regarding the widow's deceased husband. I was there when she narrated what happened, and I still find it strange because his death was a natural one.""She said someone threatened her husband. A man with an ugly looking
Lunch ended without the struck of conversation. The twin's behaved themselves, even while Adrian asked Laylah a few questions when she returned from the kitchen. It would be rude of them to interfere, so they kept their calm, until lunch was over. Immediately they were done, Erica helped to clear the table, and accompanied Laylah to wash the dishes. As soon as they were done, they both walk out of the kitchen."I should be on my way, the cab I ordered just arrived." Adrian rose, and continued. "Thank you for the meal, I enjoyed it." He added earnestly."My pleasure! My regards to Hilda. I doubt she will even care." She smiled."You both don't get along! It's fine. I will see you some other time.""Bye Uncle Adrian." Philip said, he nodded, and walked out of the house.Erica flopped on the couch, and heaved a loud sigh, getting a concern stare from Laylah."You are okay?"

The day proved to be busy. Laylah returned home and flopped onto the couch. She let out a relieved sigh and stretched her arms wide in the air, resting them on either side of the couch."It's nice to be home. I wonder how the working class manages to stay out late when they could be enjoying the peace of being home." Laylah thought, smiling to herself.Her mind drifted to the hospital, where she discovered something she had never imagined. Who would have thought the guard had taken his own life for reasons he never shared with his wife? Sadly, his wife wasn't sure if he died from illness or by choice."You must be exhausted." She heard, and abruptly jerked up, her wrist hitting a nearby stool next to the couch.Adrian hurried to the ground, and tried to help her get up, but she moved, not allowing his hands get to her."I'm sorry I startled you, I didn't mean to do that." He tried to touch her, but she moved again, and this time she rose from the floor."It's okay. I mean, it's fine.
