I hit the gate with my bulldozer truck once more ignoring the police car sirens I heard in the near distance. No one was going to stop me from getting my wife today.
Finally, Baron came out, up close. He was an intimidating man, but I was past caring.
I jumped down from the tractor. The men I brought for security rallied around me; Baron and his security came out to meet us at the gate.” Mr Brown, although frail, wobbles and stands beside me, leaning on his walking stick.
“Why are you trespassing on my property.” He sneered coldly.
I smirked darkly, happy to have him looking pissed. “well, I’ll right be on my way if you’ll hand over my wife to me.“}]
Baron and his security men laughed as though I was a circus clown. He raised his hand, and the group went silent.}
His expression turned cold again, “In case you retarded, you both are divorced legally. And I’ll do you a favor and inform you first we’re getting married in a week; as a matter of fact,t she’s carrying my child.“}
I went to the fridge; all the blood drained my face. “That’s… that’s a lie! You’re just saying that to rattle me up.” Even I sounded pathetic to myself.
“I won’t engage you anymore, get off my property. Or I’ll let the police who just arrived lock you up.“}
Mr Brown spoke up, “Please tell Celestina her father is here. I’d like to mend thin.gs Please, my health is still failing. I don’t know how much time I still have left.” He said, near tears, in a shaky voice.]
For a split second, I saw a look of compassion cross Baron’s eyes for him, but he covered it. “That’s her decision. I can’t compel her to do anything; right now, I’ll advise you to leave.”
The policemen and security were already upset at my audacity and stubbornness.e ss I could tell from their faces but I wasn’t ready to shift ground.
“I know my rights, no one can lay a single finger on me. I know your boss, I’ll pay him off. I know your types; you’re all corrupt police officers; how much did he pay you to come here?” I screamed in rage.”
A policeman stepped forward with handcuffs and cuffed my wrist. “Sir, you’re under arrest for defamation of the police and also attempted bribery. You have the right to remain silent; if you resist, I may be required to use force.”}
I struggled against his hold and he pinned me to the ground in a second. “You’ll all pay for this! I swear it.” And I meant it although I had been out of work I had a good number of millions saved up and stacked up for use.
“Oh shut up.” I heard one officer say, and I was tased. I screamed as the electricity coursed through my body, and immediately, I fell into unconsciousness.}
By the time I woke up, I found myself in an empty, cold, dark cell lying on a bench; I tried to get up only to realize my hands and feet were in cuffs.
I screamed till an officer came, “I want to call my lawyer.” I demanded through my teeth.”
I was given my phone call and my lawyer swiftly bailed me out. I sat in a cab on my way back home from the station stewing in anger, my teeth and fists clenched.
That’s it, I’m done playing Mr nice guy. If Baron wants to play dirty two can play.“]
At this point, the enemy of my enemy would have to be my friend. I remember a top billionaire friend I have, Darren, who hates Baron’s guts.
I send him a text asking for a meeting to destroy a common enemy. I got back home and tried to take a shower but the smug look on Baron’s face as he told me he had gotten Celestina pregnant haunted me.
Over the next few hours, myself and Darren schemed and came up with the ultimate plan to bring Baron down. The first step was to attack his business.
I smiled to myself later in bed, i was going to win this war for Celestina’s affection. I can’t let her go especially now that he business was back on track. Baron doesn’t deserve to reap where he didn’t sew. All this years I’ve been the one standing by her.”
Even when I genuinely thought she was crazy, if only I hadn’t been deceived by Alexandria we would have been the perfect power couple. Ruling her empire together.”
