Dave dropped Natasha off at her hotel room, his concern evident in his eyes as he asked, "Are you sure you'll be all right, Natasha?” Dave realized that her face was looking somehow paler, unlike the way it was a while ago.Natasha smiled weakly, assuring him, "I'll be fine, Dave. Thanks for being there with me today. I appreciate it."As Dave turned to leave, Natasha's voice stopped him in his tracks. "Wait, Dave! Before you go, how about staying for lunch? I'm really tired of this hotel food, and I ordered some pizza online."Dave hesitated, not wanting to intrude or cause any complications. "Oh, Natasha, I appreciate the offer, but I should probably get going. You need your rest, and there is something I wanted to attend to.""No, please just stay for lunch, am sure it won’t take long," Natasha insisted, a hint of desperation in her voice. "I ordered a lot that I won’t finish on my own, I'm sure you won’t say no to enjoying a good meal."Relenting to her plea, Dave finally agreed,
After ending the call, Kenny could not brush off the words he just received from Dave. He had failed to save Natasha from the poison and thins thing was eating him up, he didn’t have peace of mind.He reached out for his phone and summoned Ryan to come to meet him at the office as soon as possible. He had already decided that he was going to do whatever it takes to find the old grandma that Ryan had talked about.After ending the call, Kenny gave a few instructions to his assistant Kata before grabbing his suitcase and left the office.Ryan who rushed over was already waiting for his outside the gate. He got out of his car and bowed before opening the car door for Kenny.“Do you know the direction to that place well?” Kenny asked as he tied up his safety belt.‘’Yes Sir, I have been there a couple of times and I couldn’t mistake the place,” Ryan responded as he stepped on the accelerator and the car sped away.At the front passengers seat, Kenny was very impatient, it had only been a
In a small village far away from where Kenny and Ryan were, a middle aged man stood outside the door of a small mad house and knocked at the door a couple of times. The old man had been standing there for the last eight minutes but there was no response from inside. The old man was used to this, and he has been visiting this place for years now.The door was pulled open with an old grandma. The old man pulled the old grandma into his embrace. ‘’How have you been sweetheart?’’The old grandma smiled shyly and pushed him away, “wow is already very old, stop calling me with those sweet words.”‘’I won’t stop, you are still my young and beautiful sweetheart, “the old man said.‘’Stop blubbering your nonsense and get in, I was just preparing some dinner, didn’t expect you to come here any sooner,’’ she said.The old man stood up as he looked at the woman, ‘Are you trying to say you don’t want to see me anymore?”. ‘’You know very well what am trying to say, it isn’t safe here both for you a
Before the old man could respond, he heard something falling on the ground."Sweetheart!!" He ran towards her and helped her sit on the couch." Am not very sure about it, I just had a feeling that he might be related to our daughter," he added."Where did you see him? Why didn't you tell him where I am?" She said with tears in her eyes while pushing the old man away."Listen sweetheart, I couldn't do that, you know am not still sure of this, and I couldn't risk your life.""Ooh, sorry, I get it, I almost forgot that no one is supposed to find out about my existence," the old grandma calmed down.On the other side, Kenny and Ryan had searched for hours but they couldn't get any leads to the place the old grandma lived.The asked around but they couldn't get her."Ryan, the place where you dropped the old man, I think we should go there," Kenny said."Yes sir, I almost forgot about the old man, maybe he knows something that might be important to us," Ryan said as they went back to the c
Kenny looked at Sophia who was trying to say something to him."I don't need anyone to advice me on want to do," he said his sight moving away from her. Who was she to advice him on what to do? And why was she prying into things that didn't concern her at all. She wasn't Kenny's family member.Kenny's mother noticed the awkward moment and chipped in," Kenny, Sophia is just trying to say that you should have a good relationship with your grandfather, he is an old man and he needs your forgiveness."" Okey, if you don't have anything else to say then I'll head upstairs, I feel exhausted," Kenny said as he stood up from the Sofa."Wait Kenny," Sophia and Kenny's mother said in unison.Kenny sat back on the sofa and stared at them without saying a word."Kenny, as I have I told you, your grandfather is coming back to hand over the business."Kenny nodded in agreement," There is nothing wrong with him coming, do you want me to go over to the airport to pick him up?" Kenny asked sarcastical
While the two men were still talking, the phone on the table vibrated with an incoming call."Zack, your phone is vibrating," James said as he passed the phone to Zack.Zack received the phone and smiled," it's Kenny calling," he said as he pressed the respond button."Are you coming to the city?" Kenny's voice was heard from the other end of the call."Such a log of wood, you can't even say hello to your grandfather," Zack spoke.Zack was already used to his few words speaking grandson, he would never talk too much unless the conversation was about something very important to him."I know you are fine, if not, you would have already called me," Kenny said.At this time, Zack's phone was on loud speaker and James was listening to their conversation. He really admired the relationship between Zack and his grandson, Kenny."Yes, am coming home, is there any problem with it?" Zack asked "No, I just wondered why you didn't tell me that," Kenny spoke."There was no need for telling you th
Back in the city, Sophia and Kenny’s mother were seated at Kenny’s mother’s house talking.“My dear, don’t worry too much about him, just give him some time, am sure he will make the right decision.”Sophia leaned onto Mother Kenny’s shoulders, ’Thanks very much Aunty for always being there for me.’’ She paused then continued, ’Aunty, are you sure Kenny will agree with the marriage issue, I love him very much Aunty,” she spoke with tears in her eyes.Mother Kenny tapped her on her back to help her calm down. “Don’t worry my dear, I have known Kenny for very many years, he will make the right choice. Kenny won’t allow the old man to hand over the business to another person and after all, you are the only perfect daughter-in-law to the Dawson family.When she heard Mother Kenny’s words, Sophia was hopeful again, after all, she was the only woman who had always been close to Kenny apart from that stupid Natasha who could not compare to her in any way.She had also tried her best to win t
Kenny put aside his phone and stood at the window looking outside. He couldn’t see anything nice outside. The streets were brightly lit with street lights. It was only eight at night and he had almost four hours to midnight. Was the meeting at Artcaffe dangerous? Could he call for a backup? No, he couldn’t do that, he didn’t want to make any mistakes, he wanted to get the antidote as soon as possible. At exactly 11 at night, Kenny grabbed his special gun, put on a jacket, and left his house. He wasn’t aware of what awaited him ahead but he had no option other than going. Artcaffe was a ten-minute drive from his place but he didn’t want to drive there, so he decided to have a walk to that place. With his hands in his pocket, Kenny walked out of his house and headed to the place. Fourth minutes later. Kenny entered the Artcaffe restaurant and to his surprise, he saw a man who sat by himself at the far end of the room waving at him. He went over in the direction of that man. ‘’You a
