Chapter 44: Looming Danger
In the home office that evening, Gerald Wallace was lying on a couch with his head on Bailey's lap. On the table a bottle of Hennessy. It was not a secret the two were celebrating. But what were they really celebrating?
Let's go through their situation shall we? Bailey and Tessa were yet to have that truce, for a gazillion time in their life. The situation was the same or even worse between her and Gabriel. None of that called for a celebration. What about Gerald? Well, the king was feeling good. An eased conscience after finally paying off that debate with Anita, coming clean and asking for forgiveness. Hopefully the nightmares were going to stop. Did I just say nightmares? I didn't. At least you didn't hear it from me because he was yet to tell anyone why the ghost of Anita's old man was haunting him. His relationship with his son wasn't great but it was good, no one was plotting against him and he wasn't sick so...There was something these two were celebrating. I can sme

When the head chef walked in the three gentlemen were relieved. You could feel them take a sigh of relief that seeped through their sweat pores, the likes of Blake could be seen wiping sweat from his neck and face. If it were Gerald then things would have been a little bit different in a not so good way. Apart from the fact that they were all not working, they were talking about him and you don't talk about your boss at the work place don't you? That’s unless you want to get fired."You scared the living hell out of us man" the chief butler said, "How long have you been standing there?""Not long enough, Gerald is asking about you guys. He is almost convinced that all his three butlers have quit""We are coming, just taking a breather after a whole day of standing" Gabriel said authoritatively.Despite being counted as a butler he was still a Wallace, the next Wallace after his father. That fact earned him a lot of respect from employees. He was only free with Blake,

The search party of two returned home feeling tired and devastated. An entire day of hitting dead ends was not something to brag about and the Don was waiting for an update in his office. A positive one in this case. It was no secret his health was deteriorating by the day and he could have really used some good news to enable him take the next breath."What on earth are we going to tell him?" Maria asked exhaling sharply.None of them was ready to leave the car in the parking lot. But what could they do? They had no idea what the boy looked like and finding him was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Being their first day some hope was necessary, just one problem though they just didn't have anyone to give it to them."You're the boss here, am just the muscle" said Shayna."That's true" she said leaning on her back."You do realize that we can't sleep in the car""Just give me a minute to think""Well, we don't have a minute because here comes

***Flashback***BlakeBy seven that evening I was already at the newly opened five star hotel Quills. Dressed in a red jacket, white shirt black trousers, and red loafers on my feet. Constantly checking my Rolex. Fear was starting to set in when the clock hit a quarter to eight with no sign of her. Had she decided not to have a formal date with me? Changed her mind perhaps? After hanging out at her place while delivering that blender we had agreed to go on a formal date. One that I had looked forward to with much enthusiasm.It was not every day an upcoming business man like me got to date the daughter of one of the richest men in fort canon. A marriage with Tessa was not only for my own benefit but that of my business. And that was the goal, show her love and when the time was right, marry her. I could imagine how many business deals would have gone through easily simply because by my side was Tessa Wallace."Someone looks scared" she said holding my shoulder f

Reality was downing on me, my life had changed and at the center of it all was a man I once despised when he fired me and hated him when he stood there and watched his on harm Blake."Looks like everything is going on fine here" the butler said from behind.Overcome by happiness I didn't say anything but instead fell in his arms. Although it was all Gerald's doing, he was using him to make sure everything was in place."Thank you""You'll thank him when he passes by in the course of the week""You deserve the thanks too. How's everything, and everyone?"He cracked a smile. Getting ideas in his head about everyone."I'm talking about Gerald and Sylvia, the only tw

TessaThat morning following dad to his office reminded me of those days when I had messed up and he was going to give me a lecture, somewhere mum wasn't so he could go easy on me. There was no shame in bragging, I was my father's favorite creation. He led the way through the office and took his seat, pointed the clients seat. We had not exchanged a word since we left the crime scene. My father was getting old, I realized that morning he had these wrinkles or it was just the face of disappointment. We had always been on the same page...we always found a way to co-exist instead of tearing each other apart like mum and I did. And for that reason I owed him an apology."Dad, am sorry. Please don't look at me like that, you know it's just me and you, I count myself lucky to be your daughter""Why did you do that to him Tessa, you know love hurts more than physical pain?"How did he expect me to know when the only person that was busy breaking my heart was my mother?

After two hours in the sky the pilot of the private jet that was carrying the Don and his family asked for landing on a private island. He was asked for a unique code that the Don read out loud and they were given permission to land on a tarmac runway, soot black with a yellow line. The jet touched the tarmac and rolled on the runway like a snake slithering in the grass and when it stopped they were in a painted all white warehouse, a couple of beautiful flight attendants were waiting for them, dressed in white and blue their curved lips red hot like chili's separated to flash a warm smile, their well shaved slender legs in a pair of black heels each."Welcome Don" they said in unison bowing in respect and immediately a white van came in."Thank you ladies" he said kissing their hands, Lilian could be seen boiling with jealousy behind them and Maria was holding her, giving her that support she really needed, "You two look more beautiful than last time""Thank you sir, yo

The ladies had gone to do what ladies do, talk in private and socialize with the best fashion designers, laugh and swim or gossip, for the men, the party was yet to start, Don and Carlos were seated by the tiki bar, sipping on their drinks while watching the others have fun."An update sir" Carlos said checking his phone when it beeped."Keep the bad news to yourself...have you noticed something?" He asked looking in the direction of the ladies. Maria and Lilian had already joined the flock of women, it was like a baby shower party."Noticed what boss?""The ladies have miraculously hit it off""It's a good thing right?" Carlos asked sounding surprised. He expected him to be happy that his plan to unite his family of three was working. It was hard to understand him."Yeah, but you know me"He knew him more than anyone else in his life. Carlos was one man the Don couldn't stand losing or being on the other side of the war front because then he wouldn't las

TessaSmoke from two wretched chimneys were almost choking me out so I took a seat am watched them play from a distance. Their relationship had not started that well when Gideon moved in. Gabriel kind of stuck to the script of being a butler and constantly taking Blake's side even while walking out on us at the dinner table. It had me worried a little bit say but as usual dad fixed it.Speaking of dad. Why on earth was he asking me to divorce Blake? I think he knew one topic he couldn't talk me out of was the Blake topic. Maybe he was just angry, that bastard was mine until I decided or I was convinced he was no longer useful."My little girl seated all alone, let me guess, the boys are rumbustious and smoky" mum said joining me with a chair of her own, the two of us seated watching the stars in the dark skies, as if she read my mind she had wine and a couple of glasses a maid brought a coffee stool."Your guess is right""Mama got you something kiddo" she said p
