FLASBACK- 6 YEARS AGO
Fredrick walked into the kitchen feeling sad because his had just ran away some days ago with Ethan leaving their dad heartbroken so he just stayed in his room all day and sulked.
“I had wished there was something I could do” Fredrick thought as he moved around then he saw Debby busy preparing dinner. She wanted to taste the food but abruptly dropped the spoon probably because she remembered that there was poison in it.
“I have known Debby since I was a kid and whenever she cooks, she always taste the food and I bet everyone does that soIt made me suspect that the food was poisoned” Fredrick thought and ran back to his room. After some minutes, Debby knocked on his doorRêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
“Hey Fredrick, Food is almost ready so you can wait in the dining” Debby said with a smile but Fredrick knew that smile wasn’t genuinen so he left without saying anything because he wanted to tell his dad about what he had suspected but his father laughed sadly so he thought maybe because it was because he missed his mother so much that he was imagining things.
Mr Majesty ate the food and didn’t yield to his son’s warnings because according to him, he trusted her so much and because she grew in the house she couldn’t possibly kill anyone. Fredrick on the other hand stopped eating her food as he always ordered for his food himself and made sure it was delivered to him and not to any servant
There was a time she took his delivery for him to his room shedding tears that she hated the way he treated her and how he stopped eating her food and at that point no one needed to tell him that she had already poisoned the food.
“Come on Fredrick, do you prefer this to the food I give you? Have it then if that’s what you want” Debby yelled feigning annoyance and dropped the take out then walked out of the room but Fredrick didn’t trust her enough to eat the food he ordered hence she received it so he took samples of the food to the doctor but nothing was found.
Some days later, Mr Majesty started getting sick and Fredrick had warned him earlier about the maid but it was too late because he later died in the hospital.
“I knew his death wasn’t ordinary and I immediately ordered for an autopsy but no trace of poisoning in his blood. I badly wanted to kill her but there was no proof for me to do that so I fired her immediately even though she killed my father but because there was no proof and a lot of people assumed heartbreak killed my father so did my mom think so she ended up taking her life.
“I knew heartbreak didn’t kill him as its now all clear to me that his brother did” Fredrick thought
END OF FLASHBACK
“You bastard, you’re going to rot in jail” Fredrick threatened fearlessly
“Empty threats but don’t dare me Fredrick. Now, get out of my house and don’t make me take away the person you love the most” Damon said but this time Fredrick couldn’t help it anymore so he punched him on the face.
“Don’t you dare lay a finger on her or my son or any of the members of my family else I won’t hesitate to kill you if you do so” Fredrick warned
“I’d like to see you try and you know you should really watch your back because I’m coming for you” Damon threatened again
“Not after I kill you first” Fredrick said and angrily stormed out of the house
GOLD POV
Gold smiled softly while she chatted with Ella as they were on their way back to the house
“School was really stressful judging by the fact that we didn’t resume on time. I’ve missed a lot of stuff and it will take some serious reading to get back on track” Gold thought inwardly
“How was class?” Gold asked Ella who frowned her face as she replied
“School was terrible” Ella complained but Gold chuckled,
“Why?” Gold asked her and she responded
“Maybe because I was trying so hard to listen to the lecturer and some people were busy distracting me because It was tiring” Ella complained but Gold laughed at her and she frowned. “Gold It’s not funny”
“What about you? How was yours?” Ella asked concerned
“Great and I made lots of new friends” Gold said to Ella but then she smiled
“Great. I get it that you’re a people’s person” Ella said making a huge joke
“I wouldn’t say that you know plus I had about five guys who asked me out in a date Gold said then she laughed”
“Are you serious?” Ella asked starring at Gold in disbelief.
“I wouldn’t joke about such a thing and do you know when I told them I was already taken, they said there was nothing wrong with cheating after all a rich man like Fredrick isn’t faithful so it wouldn’t do me any harm if I try”
“They really said that? Fredrick will really get upset when he hears about such a thing”
“Obviously he will and the worst part is they are my entire department” Gold added and Ella began to laugh.
“I must say Gold that you are surrounded by idiots”
“I guess I am because that’s what they really are” Gold sighed and looked at the driver’s mirror and noticed that a car has been on their tail since they left school.
“Hey Ella, do you observe that car has been on our tail?” Gold asked and Ella looked at the side mirror as well
“Oh shit, It’s really us that they’ve have been tailing” Ella said already afraid
“You might wanna put on your seatbelt for this one” Gold said and Ella looked at her shocked
“What are you planning on doing?” Ella asked Gold who seem not to be bothered by the people following them instead she was busy looking out for something
“Loosing them of course” Gold replied and quickly wore her seat belt.
“Damn Gold, they know we’ve found out and they are going to be shooting at us any minute” Ella complained
“But I hope this car is bullet proof” Gold thought inwardly.
“They is no way we are going to be playing fast and furious” Ella screamed when they began shooting at them
“”No no no, not my Bugatti” Gold screamed as two bullets hit her windshield but thank goodness that it was bullet proofed so she brought out a double barrel shotgun from the car, the one sheb purchased while they were at Calabar.
“Is that a…”
“Yes it is”
“Do you even know how to fire that” Ella asked Gold already scared
“I wouldn’t buy it if I don’t know how to fire it. Dating a millionaire with so many enemies is not an easy task” Gold added
“I agree” Ella said and Gold continued driving
“We wait for the reload and then you take the wheels” Gold said to Ella
‘Wait what?” Ella asked in fear
“Now and please don’t get us killed” Gold said then Ella took the wheels while Gold brought out her head and aimed for the tyres. She shot at the tyres several times until the driver lost control and bumped into a house.
“Ouch. I wish that was a moving truck” Gold lamented
“Yeah, me too” ElIa said and took the wheels then resumed driving again until one of the occupants of the car came out with a bazooka.
“Oh my God Is that a…” Ella was about saying but she couldn’t
“… bazooka?” Gold completed and Ella began to shiver
“Gold, I’m not ready to die yet” Ella complained as she was already scared
“Neither I’m I” Gold answered but right in front of their eyes the missiles were released and it was coming towards them but Gold immediately snatched the wheel from Ella and swayed the car then the missal landed on the ground instead which immediately busted into flames.
“Phew that was close” Gold breath out
“You should call Fredrick” Ella suggested.
