MR WILLIAMS’ FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW“I had to come over because it felt like you have been distant since the incident. And about knowing your whereabouts, you should know that sir, for a man like me, information is the easiest thing that I can lay my hands on.” He said somewhat proudly.After he was served by the waiter, they both started eating while I watched on as they devoured the meal like hungry dogs.“So, your excellency, are my boys truly at the station?” He asked mouthful.“Did you not say information is the easiest thing for you to get? Did your informants not tell you that too?” I said with disgust.“Erm… sir, you know this does not only affect me,” he licked his fingers dripping in oil from the grilled meat he had been tearing apart with his hands then continued, “It affects you also, we have to do something before they start singing. I might be their boss and have trained them over the years but I still would not bank on them when it comes to loyalty because I believe
MR WILLIAMS’ FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWHe seemed offended but I did not care. I called the waiter over to pack the dishes. After the waiter was gone, he then said, “I am sorry for showing up unannounced but it is for the benefit os us both. Well, I have heard your reservations loud and clear, would you mind finding me something?” He said with a pleading smily face. I shook my head at him for still trying to squeeze money out of me despite everything. I signaled to my boys and they came in. I spoke into the ears of one of them to bring me some wads of money from the car. I had not come with my personal assistant but this man was the head of my security personnel and could be wholly trusted. I was even happy on the other end that I did not come with my personal assistant because he would have gotten curious about Sniper.In no time, he returned with a small bag then placed it on the table and they returned outside. I zipped the bag open and saw that it was filled with money. I gave ou
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWI drove absentmindedly home as my mind wandered on what the minister had just discussed with me. That man was the devil himself and I doubted if he was truly the one who fathered Celia because they seemed to be complete opposites. The saddest part was that his wife was also in on the evil things this man was involved in. Evil power couple. I was jolted from my thoughts when I almost ran over an old man. He had tried to cross the road and walked really sluggish. I did not see him initially as I was lost having conversation with myself in my head but fortunately, I saw him before it was too late and I reflexively pressed the brake pedal immediately leaving my car few inches away from him. “Holy molly!” I screamed.The sudden pause I made the car do threw me forward but thankful to the seatbelt which held me down as I could have hit my head hard on the steering and probably initiate the airbag. There were screams around from the onlookers coupled with
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWHe walked towards the front door then I also returned to my seat. He knocked as he got to the door.“Come in, it is open.” I said loud enough for him to hear.“Hey Edward man.” He said as he stretched his hand for handshake. I stood up to give him a side hug and handshake.“Hey Tony.” After the pleasantries, we both sat on the sofa I was seated earlier. I adjusted to the edge to get him to sit comfortably.“Sorry, I was already in your street when your call came in. That is the reason I did not puck your call.” He apologized.“Yes, I figured too. I was wondering what took you so long considering that I had invited you over since over an hour ago.” I said.“I was with someone when you called at first. I had to settle the person before I could leave so that was what took my time. And wait, before we go into the reason you brought me here. I am famished. Did your domestic help prepare anything?” He asked as he rubbed on his stomach to buttress his poin
CELESTIA’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWHe pushed it away and shook his head, “I am not hungry. Why am I being wheeled around in those rooms for series of tests? Is anything wrong with me?” He asked weakly.“You are fine. They are just checking to see if there are any other thing they are missing everything is fine.” I said assuredly to him and collected the meal from Taylor. I opened the plastic container and was welcomed with a nice aroma. “You have to eat to gain some strength.” I said to him as I cleaned the spoon and dipped it in the food to get a spoonful. “Say ah.” I said as I brought the spoon closer to his mouth.“Hm… but I am not hungry. Something does not feel right in my body. I did not feel this bad earlier.” He turned his head away and groaned.“You have to eat even if it is few spoonfuls so the treatment administered can work.” I said persuasively.“Where is Thomas? Why have I not seen him around? Has he not recovered enough to move around?” He suddenly asked.Taylor and
CELESTIA’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWI slept off while reading his diary. I was woken up by my alarm in the morning. I crawled out of the bed tired then went to the bathroom to brush my teeth then had my bath. I dressed in a free metallic trouser and a matching jacket. I let my hair down to fall across my shoulders. I went downstairs and everyone was already assembled and ready.“Good morning.” I greeted and we all exchanged pleasantries.“I will be going to the company today to see over things there.” Grace announced.“Alright, that is good. Feed me back about things over there.” I said to her.“Is Smart going with you or he is coming with us?” I teased.“Yes, he is. He also has lots of information about the company and he will be of great help at the company.” Grace said sharply without even looking up.“Well, I hope this is for the company and not an excuse for you two lover birds to hang out. You know the state the company is in right now?” I said smiling and they all laughed ove
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWI got to the hospital, parked my car then walked into the hospital. I was heading to the ward when one of the staff in the hospital tapped me by the shoulder. I turned around.“Sorry sir, are you not one of the Robinson’s?” She bowed and asked politely.“Yes, hope nothing is the matter?” I asked now fully facing her.“Not at all, but I am guessing you are the one the doctor instructed us to inform that he would be in a meeting with the rest of your family by the time you are here.” She said.“Oh, where is that?” I asked.“At the conference room on the fourth floor. Do you need help navigating your way there?” She asked.“No, thank you. I can surely find my way around.” I said to her then walked away while she also went her way. I got into the elevator then input the digit four to indicate that I was headed to the fourth floor. Thankfully, no one else came in the elevator with me.I got to the fourth floor in no time then asked one of the staff there
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW“My gallery? How did you know about what is going on in my gallery? The last I checked, you wanted nothing to do with me and my career.” I said blankly.“You seem to forget no matter what, you are still my heir. You are a part of me. The one who will live on after me. So it is expected that I concern myself with whatever concerns you even if I am not in support of it.” He said arrogantly.I realized he had not changed after all. He was still his ever possessive self.“Well, I like how you are planning to team with the company to fight the crime organization together.” He said.“Yes, that is because we have a common enemy. You of all people should know I would never seek help from the Robinson’s but an enemy of my enemy is my friend. That is simply what I did.” I clarified for him in case he was thinking I was getting interested in the company.He went silent for a few minutes then said, “Edward, do you really never see yourself ruling this empire?
