š¹CHAPTER 18š¹
JOHNāS POV
āI wouldnāt want you to hurt yourself, so just stay in the car and let them do their jobs and Iām sure you know my car is bulletproof. They
also brought bullet proof cars so let your mind be at restā I said to my brother
āGet that lady out of there car on time, they might try to do something you could ever imagine. I have a feeling they would wanna escape with her so please fight with your might, I trust you for that and I promise to compensate you all for a job welldoneā I said to them as I ate from my plate of food.
Dmn! I cur$ed under breath as a bullet was shot at the camera which disturbed the video I was watching. I checked my Ipad and saw Matilda being carried out of the car. Itās getting darker already and Iām sure my men would be loosing their focus already. I was about
shouting at them to go for Matilda when I heard a loud gunshot and I lost signal immediately which got me tensed.
What on earth just happenedā¼ļø! I asked in a yell thinking the call has connected but it turned out it didnāt. whatās happening, why did I
lost every connection all at once? I asked myself as I perambulated in the room trying to get their connection back and that got me really
worried.
ELONāS POV
I could swear with my life that things will turn out bad for us all if we return to the boss without our target. We didnāt plan our mission
well and we happened to get outsmarted by our opponent. āWeāve been breached sirā I said to the boss as soon as his call came in and he
shouted at me as expected.
āI donāt give a damn about whatsoever happens to you while youāre at it and how youāre gonna go about it,
just make sure you bring that lady here tonight else you should count yourself deadā he replied angrily and I knew he didnāt like he was
joking.
āGet her out of the car and leave the premises secretly, another car will come take you outta hereā I said to my colleagues and they
acted up immediately but I was more furious and bothered when the two people carrying her got shot.
āThese people are way out of our league, I donāt think we can win them overā I said to myself and before I knew it, more of our men drove in thereby hitting the first car that trailed us causing damages to the car and their men lose focus as they ran to rescue them immediately, making us take that as an opportunity to fight them.
We were still attacking ourselves when different cars drove in suddenly and their lights flashed on our faces which made us took cover immediately. But before I knew it, they had already gotten Matilda out and didnāt hesitate to shoot us all. These men are indeed highly trained. I shouldāve known from the start that we canāt overpower themā¦ I thought as I yelped in pain after being shot in the arm I made sure I put a call across the boss so he would know whatās happened.
GABRIELāS POV
Geez! I canāt believe those guys, how can they ever have the thought of hitting the car? I said to the people around me as i sat on the bed
in the ward weāre receiving treatment at. āthey obviously had no good intention, we should just be thankful to God for not giving them to
kill Matilda. If not for the boss that thought of the smart idea that helped us, we wonāt be saying this right nowā one among my brotherās
men replied
Oh! That reminds me, have you called my brother? Is he aware of what happened to us? I asked and he handed me my Laptop. āwe sure have done that, he would like to speak with you now, so thatās why Iām giving you your laptopā¦ he replied and I switched my laptop on to
see him.
Iāll be back soon, but I want you two to stay where you are till I return. I think I will be transferring her to the other house. She isnāt safe
being at that house at least not until the real boss get arrestedā¦ he id
āI love that idea. But I need to be at home for few minutes. I have to pack some of my clothes and to also check if your workers are
maintaining the house very well while youāre awayā I replied
I wouldāve asked someone to just go pick what you need for you instead of going, but Iād let you go because you mentioned checking to
see how my employees are workingā¦ he said
āWhere is the house you said I will be moving to?ā Matilda asked as she came into the room and sat beside me. You will know that when I return, just make sure you stay safe till I returnā¦ he answered. ā can I at least go with Gabriel to pick somethings in the house too? She
asked again and he tutted which made her give a sad look.
āWelcome back sir, we didnāt expect you not to return home yesternight why didnāt you return with Matilda, is everything okay?ā the gatekeeper asked as soon as I got out of the car. āShe will be back soon, something came up thatās why we couldnāt return yesternightā I
replied. āWarm another car up, Iāll be going out in something elseā I added before leaving
āWelcome back sirā Danielle and Gabrielle greeted as soon as I entered the house. Oh! Thanks. Have you been well? And where is Cassandra?
I replied and she entered the house just as I finished asking the question. āIs anything wrong with Matilda?ā she asked.
Excuse you, is that the first thing you ought to have said to him? Gabrielle said to her and all I could do was stare at her and wonder if thatās how
dumb she could be to make herself so obvious.
āIām sorry, I was just worried about her since they left and both didnāt return at the right time. Pardon my manners, good afternoon sirā
she greeted. āYour days are numberedā I said to her and left their presence.
āYour end is nearā I heard Danielle said and I laughed softly as I walk.
š¹CHAPTER 19š¹
āI need you to get her phone by all means, thereās something I have to do on her phoneā Gabriel said to Danielle on the phone as he got to his room. āAlright sir, Iāll look for a way to get it for you right away, give me few minutesā she replied.
āoh! Never mind, just summon every employee to the sitting room before I get there including the gatekeeper and the gardener, you all should wait for meā he said.
āGet my things from my room and drop them in the carā he said to Brian the gatekeeper. Danielle I need you to pack some clothes for Matilda and please hurry up with thatā¦ he added.
Is anything wrong sir? This is unusual, please tell us if sheās hospitalised so we would go visit her at the hospital sheās admitted to. Or is she no longer working here? They all bombarded him with questions.
Thereās nothing wrong with her. Oh! Something was wrong with her but sheās fine now. I didnāt say she wonāt coming here any longer, I only told her to pack some of her clothes including her toiletries, so please put your minds at restā¦ he replied them.
āI think we need to talk but thatād be on your way backā Chris said as he walked in,side the house. And when did you get here? Gabriel asked. ājust now I guess. I wonder why my friend and his brother has been keeping things from me latelyā he replied
āPlease hurry up with what I asked you to do, I have something to say to you allā he said and they both dismissed. āGet my visitor something to drinkā he said to Cassandra and she left immediately too.
Thanks for this, but are you new here? Iāve never seen your face here but you kinda look familiar, I feel like Iāve seen you somewhere beforeā¦he said to Cassandra as he drank from the cup. āYes sheās new but has spent some months here already. Sheās Miaās replacementā Gabriel replied him
āWeāre through sirā Danielle and Brian said thereby interrupting them. Fine! Thanks for that. I know this isnāt the right thing to do as it is just as intruding your personal lives, but Iād like you all to submit you phones on the table. I need to check all youāve done since my brother and I have been awayā¦ he said
Do you really have to do that? You already know itās and intrusion in our personal lives, so why bother doing it sir? Cassandra said. āIām sorry if you find me rudeā she added apologetically.
I can see youāre the only one courageous enough to talk to me and thatās why your phone will be the first Iāll check. You can quit now if you donāt want me to check your phoneā¦ he replied. āIām sorry sirā she apologized and handed the phone to him with a trembling hand.
Have you phone, thereās no need to check other phonesā¦ he said and stood up. āyou all can resume what you were doing. Letās go Chrisā he said
Now tell me whatās up, tell me why the environment is awkward, whatās wrong with Matilda? Chris said as soon as they drove off. āFine! Relax and listen. Iāll tell you just what happened yesternight and tell you the remaining when weāre aloneā Gabriel replied and narrated everything to him.
I feel like strangling John this moment for hiding such thing from me but Iāll let it slide this once when I see that sheād fineā¦ he replied.
āNow I know why I was suddenly having some strange feelings and that was what brought me to your placeā he added. āI was just about asking you that thoughā Gabriel replied.
Cāmon dude! Stop giving me that look, I was just too occupied to even remember telling you about her. Besides, itās been long we talked so I forgot that you know about her.ā John said to him as they discussed at his other house after settling down.
No qualms! Just hand me some of the manās pictures, I need to start investigating his case. We need to find him as soon as possible, who knows how many people heās after. I donāt think we can do this alone, if we eventually apprehend him, we canāt take law into our hands and the undercover agents canāt eitherā¦ he replied.
And do you think we can trust the cops? Why do you think they havenāt been able to apprehend him all these years? Gabriel said as he walked in with a cup of wine in his hands. āof course I know we canāt trust anyone, I didnāt say that for nothing, I have my uncle thatās a cops to take care of that and trust me when I say heās gonna give us the best resultā he replied.
Alright! Iāll trust you on this, I pray we find something about him soonā¦he replied. āThanks for taking all these risks on my behalf, Iām so grateful to you all and I owe you bigā¦ Matilda said as she joined them too. āyouāre welcomeā they replied.
āThat envelope contains your admission letter to a high school. I want you to conclude your schooling so youād go to the university to fulfil your dream. Donāt fret, I already made the arrangement for you to be in the final class. The final exam is in few monthās time so I had to rush things for you and Iām sure youāll catch up, I trust your intelligence. So all I want is just you writing the exam and the university entrance examination ownā john said as he stood and she ran to him and hugged him tight.
Thank you so much, youāre indeed a life saver. I thank God for making me hide in your car trunk the other day. I promise to pay you back for all youāve been doing for meā¦ she said happily. I guess youāve forgotten that Iām your boss, how dare you hug me! He half yelled obviously joking and they all laughed. āwho cares if youāre my boss or notā she murmured. What did you say? He asked and she ran to where Gabriel and Chris were sitting. āsave me pleaseā she begged.
āDonāt you dare lay your hands on my sisterā they both warned. Did you just say sister? Chris asked and he nodded. āof course she is and our wife to beā he said and Matilda hit his head playfully. āWow! I sense something tooā he said and stared at john who only tutted at their childish behaviour.
Gabriel drove her to the school as heās been told to do by his brother. ādonāt answer any of your colleagueās call you heard what my brother told you, theyād surely give you a call to ask your whereabout and please donāt cause any trouble, I know those kids will try to frustrate youā he said and she nodded
She got to the classroom and introduced herself as ordered by the teacher. Hey newbie! A boy called as soon as the teacher left the class and she turned. āwow! How small is the world. See the guy who indirectly took me to my destined helper, if I hadnāt beaten him up the other day, I wouldnāt have ran into johnās carā she thought as she saw his face.
Why do you look so familiar, arenāt you the beggar who tried to beat me up for splashing water on you the other day? He asked
And who did you just address as a beggar? They heard someone ask and turned to the direction the voice came from. BABEā¼ļø! Matilda called.
