Anna Robinson sat quietly on her bed lost in her thoughts. She wore a dampened expression and her eyes were swollen from all her silent tears. Her heart throbbed from an anxiety attack and her head ached from so much thinking. Her mind drifted out of her body as she reminisced on Chloe’s beautiful childhood memories.

“Where did I go wrong in loving you, my sweet child?” More years flowed down her cheeks as she queried her troubled mind. “Didn’t I love you enough? Didn’t I teach you the right things? Didn’t I groom you to be a respectable young lady? Who did this to you? See what you’re making your father and I go through! You’ve turned your father into a monster.”

Anna quickly wiped her tears with the back of her hands as she heard approaching footsteps. She stood up and was about to walk into her bathroom when her bedroom door suddenly flung open.

“Albert!” Anna slightly screamed in panic due to the way her husband barged into her room and scowled at her. “What has come over you?”

“Your crazy daughter!” Albert boomed fiercely at her. His breadth reeked of alcohol and his reddened eyes flashed a deadly glow.

“If she weren’t from my loins, which I am beginning to doubt, I swear, I would have peeled the skin off her flesh.” He paced around in anger, looking for anything to trash.

.....

“Let me ask you one question?” He suddenly paused on his track and looked ferociously at Anna, like a black jaguar about to devour a juicy prey. “Are you sure Chloe is my daughter? Did you really get pregnant for me?” Because if I find out that you cheated on me, I swear...”

“Albert!” Anna’s suppressed tears poured out uncontrollably like a monsoon. “How could you even think or say that?” I could never cheat on you! Chloe is your biological daughter. You can do a paternity test if you want to.” She sat back on her bed and cried her eyes out.

Albert stared at his crying wife, with so much pain in his heart. He knew Chloe was his daughter and that Anna was his most faithful and loyal partner. However, he wished that Chloe wasn’t related to him. He wanted to badly punish her. He wanted to make her feel every grain of disappointment and hatred she had planted in his heart. Above all, he needed to unburden his ominous rage on someone who deserved it.

“Oh, Frost! Frost! Frost!” Albert’s tone was chilly.

He made a fist with one hand and struck it severally on his other hand’s open palm like someone with a mental issue. He spared his wife one sympathetic look and stormed out of her room. He swiftly walked back to his home office. He picked up his phone and sent a short message to Leon.

[I have kept my end of the bargain and your wife has gotten her confession and apology. Do this one thing for me and we will be even. Send Frost over to me. I own him now.]

After the APB fashion brand was vindicated from the alleged theft crime by the court, the organizers of the winter fashion show collection quickly had a brief meeting. At the end of the meeting, a decision was arrived at. A public announcement was made and the APB fashion brand was finally declared as the second-position winner of the winter collection fashion show.

Before long, the announcement of the APB fashion brand winning the second position in the winter fashion show went viral. There was a lot of jubilation and celebration in all of Amzone city as both new and old fans keyed into the APB fashion brand’s joyous moments.

The mood in the APB fashion company was one of double celebration. Staff members were so overjoyed that they expressed it in various ways. While some were chanting victory songs and dancing around, others took pictures, selfies, and Snapchat of the joyous mood.

They had all watched the confession and apology rendered by their rival fashion brand. When they listened to their CEO’s speech, some staff members were moved to tears as a majority of them knew how much work they had all put into the winter collection fashion show.

Finally, work could resume and staff members could move around the city with heads held high.

For the past two days, aside from the humiliation of their CEO, most staff members were looked down on and even insulted whenever they introduce themselves as staff of the APB fashion brand. Due to the excessive backlash and insults from the public, a few staff members had even considered the option of quitting. Hence, it was a big relief to them when the tables turned around in their favor.

In addition to the celebration mood, Ella sent a message of appreciation to every staff of her company.

In the message, Ella thanked everyone; from the least to the greatest, for their hard work and for not giving up hope in the company’s trial time. She also declared a work-free day, encouraging staff members to go home and celebrate with their families on the company’s victory.

In addition to the appreciation message, Ella instructed the accounting department to credit every staff member’s account with substantial salary bonuses.

.....

Due to the viral court victory and the announcement made by the winter collection fashion committee, no one took note of the nearly assassinated Chloe or the gruesome battle which took place about two kilometers from the courthouse.

In total, eighteen lives were lost during the grotesque battle between Leon’s men of the underworld world and Albert Robinson’s tugs.

Five of Leon’s men died from several gunshot injuries during the attack. While the remaining thirteen bodies were those of Albert.

The crime scene was cordoned off to a lot of onlookers, concerned neighbors, and news journalists.

Police detectives, paramedics, and various investigation units crowded the crime scene as they sought different answers to whatever led to the battle.

Unfortunately for the investigation unit, they didn’t get much from all three black-tinted vehicles as they were all wiped clean of any incriminating evidence. Some eyewitnesses to the crime, who were interviewed had little or nothing to say about the crime. They were too horrified by the crime and decided to play safe by not saying much.

Samples were taken from the crime scene and all eighteen badly maimed bodies were taken to the morgue.

After a detailed search, investigation, and questioning, the crime scene was cleared and everyone went about their business.

Back at Leon’s villa, Ella was over the moon with celebration. The court victory and the announcement of the winter collection fashion show were just too much for her to handle.

In her high-spirited mood, she invited Denise, Tom, and some top officials of the APB fashion brand home to join in the celebration. She threw a mini party to honor her guest for all their tireless work, efforts, and support.

Bottles of champagne were popped, mini refreshments were served, light background music was played and everyone had a fun time.

While the party guest were all having a good time, Leon got an urgent call. He quietly excuse himself and went toward his home office. He entered the office, shut the door behind him, and answered the call.

“Boss, a quick update!” Sky spoke almost immediately. “Five of our men were killed during the attack by Albert’s tugs and others are currently receiving treatment due to multiple bullet wounds. Also, the package is safe and out of the city.”

“Great job, Sky!” Leon said in a calm but slightly irked voice. “Albert will get what’s coming to him in due time. Tomorrow morning, my wife and I would come to visit.”

“Okay, boss. One more thing, I think Albert is desperately searching for Frost. He is seeking blood at any cost.” There was a hint of warning in Sky’s voice. “I have credible intel that Albert’s tugs are currently rampaging Frost’s home. If Frost or any of his family members should ever show up, they are dead meat.”

“Noted Sky,” Leon smirked evilly. “If Albert likes, he can burn down the Earth. I will make sure that he never sets his eyes on Frost. Go back to work! I will see you tomorrow.” Leon ended the call and was about to leave his office when his phone beeped.

When Leon read the message sent by Albert, he let out an evil chuckle. “This bastard is playing with fire, and I’m going to scorch him slowly and painfully.” He deleted the message and returned to his wife’s mini-party.

Ella was in high spirits sipping a glass of wine and chatting freely with Denise when Leon took a seat beside her. He gently slid his hand on her waist, behind her back, and pulled her closer to him.

“Ahem! Denise cleared her throat causing Leon to chuckle.

“Denise, please can I have my wife back? I think you’ve had enough time chatting with her.” Leon half smiled at Denise’s raised eyebrow.

“Of course, Mr. Treshvire,” Denise responded animatedly. “I can’t afford to be the bolder between you two as you’ve so rightly put it. I think it’s high time we all took our leave and let you guys be.” Denise winked at Ella with a knowing smile and Ella’s face flushed with embarrassment.

“Oh, Denise, you are so naughty!” Ella giggled and gently smacked Denise’s arm.

“Mr. Leon, am I not telling the truth? Denise pouted cutely.

“Absolutely! I can’t wait to be alone with this gorgeous lady in my arm.” Leon snuggled behind Ella and softly brushed his lips on the nape of her neck.

“Leon!” Ella’s body sizzled due to the electrifying spark Leon’s warm breath brought to her skin.

“My love, I still owe you a special out-of-town dinner and a body massage when all of this is over,” Leon whispered seductively into Ella’s ears.

“Sure, I can’t wait!” Ella giggled in response.

After a few hours of celebration, the mini party came to an end and every guest left the villa to their respective houses.

Leon and Ella also left Amzone city for Bronx city for their special dinner.

Leon had been strategic in choosing Bronx city for their outing as this was the same place where Frost and Jane were been held, as prisoners.
