Velon fell to the floor in pain. When he saw Lawrence approaching him, his mind went blank and he called out to him in fright. "They came to me. They said they could help me continue leading the luxurious life your brother had ruined for me!" Velon yelled but Lawrence didn't stop walking. "Why didn't you say that when I asked you the first time? You really think I don't dare to kill you?" Lawrence scoffed and Velon shook his head in fright. "Please forgive me! Please forgive me!" Lawrence sighed at the sight of the man and bent over to his level. "I don't want to kill you but that can only happen when you do exactly as I say." "I will do whatever you ask me to do." Velon swore. "Whether you live up to your word is your business because you'll be dead the moment you think you can mess with me and get away with it. Do you understand?" Lawrence asked and the other man nodded again."Fair enough." Lawrence said after a moment of silence, "Stand up, we have somewhere to be right now.

Unlike how Jessica expected the man to react, Raphael turned to look at her and raised the gun above his head where he was sure she would see it. "Are you crazy? Do you have any idea what Queenie will do to you for killing someone in her territory?" Jessica asked, afraid for him. To her surprise, the man smiled and shrugged. "Queenie and I are no longer at odds. She said to do what I want as long as it doesn't inconvenience her. And I really needed to take care of him before I lose him again." Once again, Jessica was dumbfounded. When did Queenie become so generous? She didn't let the matter bug her anymore. She walked back to his hotel room and swiped the room card Queenie had given her. Seeing this, the man's lips spasmed. Queenie really had no idea what privacy is! Nevertheless, he walked in right after her. As soon as they were gone, two people appeared; one with a mop and bucket and the other pushing a trolley. The dead man was skillfully placed inside the trolley and wheel

Velon felt the back of his head go numb as Queenie's gaze at him soon transformed into a glare. "Are you trying to turn me against my husband?" She suddenly asked. Velon shook his head hurriedly. "I was confused when I found out he was the one. You don't really think I'm lying, do you?" Velon scoffed. Deborah walked behind Velon and stared right into Queenie's eyes. "I hate to ask this, Queenie but I have to. How well do you know your husband?" "To the extent of having a child for him." "Spare me the details. Anyone can have a child for any man. In your case, he had even inseminated you with his sperm when you went for your daily check ups. Which brings me to the question, is Velon Aspen infertile because Pierce had to do it once and he got you pregnant." As she asked that question, she pressed down firmly on Velon's shoulder. So much that he cried out in pain. "This talk isn't about your fertility. I don't care if you are. But I want you to be truthful to me or you won't get t

Raphael's breath hitched. He needed no one to tell him he just happened to be lucky. Thankfully, he had acted fast or she would've really killed him. "Most times you give people the illusion you're their friend but you won't hesitate to kill them when they disobey you." He said hesitantly. "What? Do you expect me to thank them for trying to kill me?" She sneered, looking up at him. "Besides, as the friend they claim to be, they shouldn't always be forced into thinking they can attempt to kill me just because they had been threatened and I wouldn't do anything about it. I want to live as well, so why not." "So, who was that woman who asked you to kill me and my friends?" Queenie asked, diverting to the matter that brought her. "She's my superior in the office." Replied Raphael. "And she suddenly asked you to kill me. Do you know her name?" Queenie asked and Raphael nodded but didn't make a move to say anything. She understood he was sworn to be silent by an oath. "Let me get this

Pierce and Queenie stayed in their tinted car as they watched the security guards patrolling around Keystone Bank. "You won't believe what I found out." Queenie said, taking her phone away from her ear. She had called Lucian to enquire about the bank. "Tell me." "This bank was set up by my mother and a few of her associates. I'm reckoning that organization has something to do with it. But in order not to get the citizens to suspect them, they acted like a normal bank." "Your mother had probably hidden something in here because she didn't think they'll search here. I mean, they'll term it stupid to search closeby since she really tried her best to hide it from them." Pierce nodded, his respect for Queenie's mother heightening. "And the Knight's is its major shareholder. No doubt, mother really played her card well." Queenie added. Being the major Investor, the company listened to her. Hiding something for her wasn't a big deal for them given her status. The duo glanced at each o
