Painful seduction

‘ Remember me’ a voice said, it was a man.

He was short and dressed all in black, black jeans, a black leather jacket and a black baseball cap. He tipped the cap up to reveal a pair of black sunglass.

Then he reached for the glasses and pulled them off reveling two bullet- hole black eyes and a knife scar on his left eye.

The middle aged man stiffened as he swallowed hard.

‘What are you doing in my house ‘ his said in a frightened voice.

‘That’s not the right question Mr. Anderson ‘ He said in a hoarse voice as he looked a sharp look at him before sitting comfortably on the coach.

‘ I don’t…’ Mr. Anderson stammered but was interrupted.

‘ I know your shocked and your wondering how I escaped death, Right?’ He asked as he walked over to the mini bar to get himself a drink but he stopped halfway to observe the house.

‘ The house is really beautiful and expensive. You did a good work in taking over his properties ‘ he complemented.

‘ Answer my questions! How are you alive ‘ He ordered in fright as his hands fidgeted.

The young man smiled as he swallowed hard before speaking.

‘ You have a problem, your plans go well but not perfectly. You forgot that I am an assassin ‘ he said giggling softly as the fearful look of Mr. Anderson impressed him.

‘Make me understand your point’ he blinked.

‘You want me to explain how you tried to kill me!’ he said squeezing the old man’s collar making him choke.

‘ Your hurting… me’ he managed to say in a weak tone.

He looked at him with spikes of anger and pain sending a dangerous message.

‘ Remember it was our deal to take each of the girls but the usual Mr. Anderson went against it. Am not surprised at all because a guy who is able to kill his best friend and his only brother was capable of betraying a stranger ‘ He yelled as his eyes suddenly became red in anger.

‘You were supposed to be dead, who went against my order’

He laughed in mockery as he maintained a stern look.

‘ You still believe I was supposed to die? I made your dear wife pay for the sins you committed ‘ he spoke.

‘You did what!’ Mr. Anderson yelled as he went wild in anger.

He rushed to him and grabbed his collar making the young man continue in his laugher.

‘ The deal wasn’t to make Caroline pay for it, I paid you to replace her with my son’s mother’.

‘Look at you talking about a deal’ he yelled as he forcefully removed his hands. ‘You tried to kill me in order to take over the wealth ‘.

‘You knew I wanted to marry her after her husband’s death, killing Chester was to get Carolina’s love’ he explained in a cracked voice.

‘You wanted 3 deaths and you got it, Mr. Chester, his brother and Carolina his wife… it was painful but worth it l. So save your explanation for your son when you loose everything to me’ he said with eyes shut but quickly opened them.

‘You won’t try such… I will surely strangle you Rowland ‘ he threatened.

‘Strangle me? You should think of your safety first before trying to strangle me. I can use your dear Cathy as a pun to get the properties ‘.

‘You would never go against my wish ‘.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

‘ You think so?’ he asked in mockery.

‘ You monster, you will surely pay for what you have done ‘ Mr. Anderson yelled.

‘ You can’t threaten me, always watch your back’ he whispered as he left banging the door behind him.

( Flash Back)

The Daily All Times Newspaper was the first ever built Newspaper company in the City. It was part of the Chester’s Enterprise but was later allowed to settle on its own as an independent company.

The deal was for Mr Anderson and Nelly’s dad to manage the company. It was the plan of Mr. Chester to make the company a 50:50 percent sharing of shares but Anderson was just too stingy to give out all his shares.

After much deliberation, it was finalized and the greater shares were held by Nelly’s father which was twice Mr. Anderson’s.

Three days before the accident Mr. Anderson met with Mr. Romeo who had a high connection to different dangerous assassins. He requested Mr. Romeo to give him one of his highly dangerous assassin to carry out the job.

He promised to give half of the properties to him after the work was done.

Mr. Romeo accepted and assigned Rowland which was his most faithful servant to get the job done.

The job was quite simple, his work was to cause an explosion in the car and his reward was to take one of Chester’s daughter.

Few hours to the explosion Rowland was informed that had fled with the girls which wasn’t the deal.

He got angry and caused the explosion which took the life of Mr. Chester, his wife Carolina and his only brother. After the explosion he shot Mr. Anderson’s wife on the head and left her to die in the pool of her own blood .

After the attack Mr. Anderson took over the newspaper company and ordered for the news to be circulated that Mr. Chester and all his family members had died in the car crash but Cathy was saved.

He concluded that the news about Chester’s brother’s death should be out of Poison unfortunately his wife heard him discussing the truth with the acting manager and decided to take her life to cover up.

He pushed her over the staircase and lucky she survived it but she was crippled and had a brain injury which made her forget everything she heard.

He sent the twins to a hospital where their memories were tampered with before taking Cindy to the orphanage to stay . He instructed the manager to kill Cindy on her 18th birthday or sell her off into prostitution.

Cathy being the heir to the Chester’s Enterprise was taken to live with him and given new memories to live with.
