Chapter Fifty
“What did you just say Pierce?” Matteo couldn’t process Pierce’s revelation.
On realizing what he has sprouted, Pierce knew that moment that he must run for his life, he pushed Matteo off taking to his heels.
Matteo ran after him but the speed at which Pierce was running was too fast.
“Go after him, bring me Pierce dead or alive” He roared in the hall and the men took to their heels going after him.
Matteo sighed on recalling what happened the moment he woke up.
“So my father, i mean Jerome didn’t die a natural death, Pierce actually killed him?” Matteo almost broke down in tears once more.
The news about Pierce murdering Jerome has broken out throu-ghout the city, Matteo knew that Isme must have heard it in Morio since it’s allover social media…who leaked it still remain a mystery.
“Boss…” Axe called walking in.
“Yes?” Matteo snapped his ne-ck at him.
“The men couldn’t find Pierce boss” He dropped the news.
“What?” Matteo jumped standing to his feet.
“Where could he be hiding? There’s no way he left Denim already” Matteo added pacing restlessly.
“This news also came in few minutes ago, the cops are looking for Pierce and Rollo has been arrested”
Matteo raised his head on hearing this.
“fu-ck” Matteo cussed.
“We were safe when President Gonzalez was in office but since his impeachment, things changed totally, we no longer yield the power we used to, if not, how can Rollo get arrested?” Matteo shuttered.
“Sometimes, i wish i can place all the blame on Bell but i just can’t bring myself to do it, the truth remains that she’s the reason why president Gonzalez was impeached, the reason why i no longer yield the power i used to” He added in anger raking his hand throu-ghhis hair.
“Sorry boss” Axe bowed not knowing the next word to say, he headed out.
“Axe…” Matteo called making him to stop.
“What did Pierce tell you that night, don’t lie, i know about it” He muttered.
Axe heart skipped numerous beats.
“Don’t punish me boss” he went on his knees.
“He paid me to tell you that our partners for exchange has arrived” Axe mumbled feeling remorseful.
“They never came?” Matteo frowned.
“Yes boss, they never came, he was wanted you to go on delivery yourself” Axe replied honestly.
“But why?” Matteo frowned.
“I overheard him telling someone on the phone that he’ll get you there and they might arrest you from there, from my observation, he was talking to the cops” Axe revealed.
“Wow!!” Matteo gasped.
“It mean just one thing” Matteo added joining the dots.
“Pierce wasn’t just realized, he struck a deal with the cops, they catch me in the act and they free him and protect his secret of murdering his brother, i think they knew, that’s the only way they were able to blackmail Pierce” Matteo chuckled.
“If that’s the case, then the cops are the one who leaked it, now it makes sense” Axe gasped.
“Yes” Matteo replied with a nod.
“You may leave now Axe” He ordered.
“Thanks boss for tempering justice with mercy” Axe bowed, stood to his feet and walked out.
“Today is the day Bell, the earlier we leave Denim, the better, things are getting tougher” Matteo sighed.
He walked to the towards a certain direction in his room and pressed a bu-tton no one would actually know exist…a door opened and Matteo walked in, the room was stocked with cash.
That is the room he has been saving up all his fortune so that once he retires, his family will never know poverty.
He stared at the money piled up and went towards the direction of some cartons, he grabbed some and set to work, stuffing the cartons with dollar notes and closing them up with a cellotape.
“This will take all day” he pouted and continued what he was doing.
★★★*
Pierce could be seen in an uncompleted apartment sitting on the floor, he didn’t sleep all throu-ghthe night because he was worried that Matteo’s men might catch him since they’re searching for him, and the fact that the cops leaked the details of him murdering his brother made his hairs to stand on end as well.
“That ba$tard promised not to reveal it, if not that Matteo refused to go on that exchange, all this wouldn’t have happened” He spat in anger.
He tapped the screen of his phone and the first news he saw was that he was declared wanted.
“I know” he hissed.
“My forty eight hours have elap-sed but i won’t go down without a fight” He spat balling his fist.
He grabbed his phone and placed a call across to one of his men who survived Matteo’s attack.
“Boss i saw the news, you’re safe?” The man gasped.
“Yes, i nee-d your help” He smi-rked.
★★★*
“Your friends are also coming? No bringing of non working staffs into the establishment, did you forget?” Watson frowned.
“They know Matteo more than anyone, we nee-d their help” Rebel muttered.
“Ion trust them, I’ll tag along” Watson’s nanny said making Rebel to roll her eyes.
“Fine” She mumbled.
“Let’s go”
Watson stood for a while before going after them, then he knew that something was fishy and he must try his best to find out what it is.
Wren winked at him that moment and he flashed her a smile making her to blus-h.
“I’ll use you as a bait” He smi-rked and continued walking out.

?Rebel?
?OMG she’s back
?Who are the people behind her?
?She added alot of weight.
Her colleagues commented as she walked into the agency and she flashed them a smile and continued walking in.
Mr Maverick was ushering the panels out, he froze when he saw her.
“Bell?” He gasped alerting the panels beside him.
“Rebel?” One of the member of the panel gasped.
“I’m back” She smiled.
“Who are the people behind you, i recognize only Watson’s nanny” Mr Maverick frowned on seeing her with companies.
“They’re Matteo’s people, they’ll be of help” Rebel smiled.
“Oh!!!” He nodded.
“Can’t believe you couldn’t bring him down provided the time given to you” he added.
“Can’t believe myself, I’m disappointed in myself” she bowed her head remorseful.
“It isn’t an easy mission Bell, throu-ghyou, we were able to discover that President Gonzalez is engaging in illegal dealing” A member of the panel spoke.
“Thanks superior” She smiled.
“Put on your best to help the agency okay?” He said to Rebel’s friends and them flashed him a smile.
“Good” He muttered.
They continued walking until they arrived at Rebel’s office.
“I’ll see you later Watson” Rebel waved entering the office with her friends…she tried to lock the door but Watson’s nanny wedged it stepping in with them.
Rebel rolled her eyes and went to take a sit
“So what’s their use here?” Watson’s nanny scoffed.
“They’ll be interrogated and I’ll like to record it, it might be useful” Rebel for-ced a smile.
“Take a sit Sammie…” she ordered and he did.
She smiled on seeing that the office was as she left it.
She reached for a recorder and she turned it on.
“So Sammie, you were very close to Matteo right?” She began.
“Yes, i have been with him ever since the clan was established” Sammie responded.
“Good” Rebel muttered.
“Like seriously?” The nanny scoffed.
“Is this why they came?”
“Silent” Rebel threw her a glare.
“You’re disrupting something”
“You see Sammie, a file was gotten from your boss and it was discovered that he has an engagement with the ex president per say, what will you say about that?” She asked grabbing a notepad.
“Well, Mr Gonzalez nee-ded money to find his political campaign and he came to the right person he know was capable of helping, that person was Matteo” He said while Rebel scribbed something down.
“Go on” She nudged him
Sammie gave her the ‘what are you planning’ sign before continuing.
“A deal was struck, Matteo funds his campaign and anything related to the state while in return, the president will handover power to Matteo, Matteo ruled the country during Mr Gonzalez time in office and hence, was untouchable” Sammie concluded.
“Wow!!” Rebel muttered scribbing him down.
“What evidence can you give that will be useful in bringing him down?” Rebel questioned.
“I beg your pardon?” Watson smiled.
“Co-operate with us Mr Sammie, do you know for engaging yourself with a criminal like Matteo Pierce is an offense on it’s own, it makes you no different” She yelled.
“If you wanna save your as-s from jail then tell me something i don’t know” She glared.
Watson’s mouth opened and closed on seeing this strict part of Bell.
“this wasn’t part of the plan” he wanted to say but refrained since they weren’t the only one in the office.
“Fine…” Sammie sighed.
Rebel gave Celia an eye signal that moment and she nodded.
“Ouch, I feel pressed” She yawned standing to her feet.
“Where’s the way to the restroom Bell?” She inquired.
“Ask an intern to take you there once you step out” She responded.
“Fine…” Celia smiled and began heading for the door.
“Stop…” The nanny’s voice was heard, she stared at her suspiciously.
“I’ll come with you, i don’t trust you” She snarled.
“You’re free to” Celia winked and she went with her.
“Finally……” Rebel heaved a sigh of relief.
“Let’s set to work” She added.
“This is when you come in Wren”
They entered the inner room in her office and exchanged clothes; Wren put on Rebel’s clothes and Rebel wore hers…
“Take this” Rebel gave her an access card.
“Don’t disappoint, this is why you came, i would have hacked it myself but I’m not an hacker, you told me once that hacking was your specialty” Rebel muttered.
“Don’t worry, i gat you covered” Wren winked heading out.
“Swipe the card on the door three rooms away from here, input Matteo Pierce in every systems and his file would surface, format them all, leave no traces, the evidence of him finding Mr Gonzalez, wipe does as well” She screamed after her
“I gat you covered” Wren winked and continued walking out.
Rebel stepped out meeting Sammie and Monarch.
“Be on watch Sammie” She ordered.
“Monarch, distract Mr Maverick, he tends to like women alot, he’ll be in the parking lot seeing the panel members out, confront him and se-duce him while i go get Matteo’s docu-ments and a flash from his office” Rebel ordered.
“What? She should se-duce a man?” Sammie screamed feeling jealous.
“Do you have a problem with that?” Rebel arched a brow.
“Yes, she can’t, she belongs to me, what if they do it” he wanted to say but refrained.
“Fine..” He pouted.
“Don’t allow him to do the main deal” he warned Monarch.
“Sammie is jealous” Rebel chuckled.
“I’ll be on my way then” Rebel and Monarch said in unison and they smiled.
“Wren must have tempered with the camera’s by now” Sammie smiled standing to his feet to play his role.

Nicky placed a knock on Nellie’s door and she opened up.
“What do you want?” Nellie snapped.
“Are you the only one in?” Nicky mumbled.
“Yes” Nellie shrugged.
“I brou-ght a drink like old times, i nee-d a drinking buddy” Nicky pouted.
“Fine…” Nellie smiled and she stepped in.
“Where’s Akantha?” Nicky inquired.
“She left” Nellie sighed.
“Why?”
“It happened that she has been here because of Sammie, after he went on the mission, i never saw her again, like others she left me because I’m no longer favored by the boss” Nellie pouted.
“That’s sad” Nicky sighed going to grab two glas-ses.
“Here…” She handed one to Nellie.
They filled up their glas-ses and drank.
“Do you remember when we used to go to the garden in Matteo’s main clan for sight seeing?” Nicky asked.
“Yea” Nellie smiled recalling the past.
“I miss those days”
“Me too” Nicky smiled.
“I wish we can go back to being friends, i missed you”
“You did?”
“Yes, you were like a sister to me but Matteo came in between us” Nicky pouted.
“I missed you as a friend also” Nellie smiled hu-gging Nicky.
“I love you Nellie…”
“Love you too Nicky” Nellie smiled.
“So what’s up, now that Matteo refused you over again what will you do, keep trying or move on?” Nicky questioned after they disengaged.
“I love Matteo a lot but i guess it’s time i open up my heart to love somebody else, Sammie has always being there, i guess it’s time i give him the chance he has always wanted” Nellie sighed.
“Do you love this Sammie?” Nicky mumbled.
“I think i feel something for him but not as i do for Matteo” Nellie sighed.
“What about you?” She turned to Nicky.
“I still want Matteo, imagine some hours ago, i was fantasizing about making out with him” Nicky chuckled gulping down another shot.
“Wow, you’re wild” Nellie chuckled.
“I know” Nicky laughed.
“Do you know what i think Nicky?” Nellie muttered.
“What?” Nicky replied.
“You don’t actually love Matteo, you’re just addicted to his co-cklike you always have been” Nellie sprouted.
“If you had loved him, you wouldn’t have left like you did” She added.
“Then i think you’re actually obsessed with Matteo” Nicky yelled as Nellie’s word struck her.
“Calm down” Nellie hissed.
“How can i when you just upset me” Nicky glared.
“It’s the truth Nicky, you know it” Nellie mumbled.
“Fine, i think you’re right, happy now?” Nicky hissed.
“You know you can’t get mad at me” Nellie made puppy eyes.
“You’re right” Nicky chuckled.
“About you being not being mad at me?”
“No, about Matteo, i just liked him because he’s good in bed and because he has the cash and in addition, he treated me nicely, i jumped at Pierce’s proposal because i was greedy for more” She sighed.
“You’re also right Nicky, about me being obsessed with him, no wonder i can’t let go” Nellie pouted.
“We un-derstand eachother Nellie and that’s why we can see throu-gheachother” Nicky smiled hu-gging Nellie once more.
“I’ll be on my way now, i remember that i had to finish up something” Nicky mumbled after disengaging.
“Stay please” Nellie begged.
“Give me two minutes, I’ll be back” Nicky smiled walking out.

Nicky was some distance away from her room when she suddenly felt someone placed something on her nose from behind, she struggled to set herself free but all her attempt fell futile, she suddenly pas-sed out on his hand and he smiled.
The man grabbed his phone and dialed a familiar number.
“I have her boss” he said over the phone.
“Good….” a familiar voice could be heard.
★★*
Wren sat in front of the last system, she clic-ked on every files relating to the boss and the format bu-tton appeared.
“Sorry Watson” She sighed before clic-king on it.
She watched it until it read hundred percent before walking out.
“Done….” she muttered on entering Rebel’s office.
“Good” Rebel smiled
They entered the room and exchanged their clothes back to how it should be.
On spelling out, Celia and Watson’s nanny returned.
“We were about coming after you” Rebel mumbled.
“Ohh!!!” Celia chuckled
The door opened and Monarch ran in.
“Gosh!!! That man is wide, he nearly ate me alive” she pouted but stopped talking when she saw the nanny.
“Went after you guys since i was also pressed but unfortunately, i bumped into a s-× starved man” Monarch pouted at the nanny.
“That’s none of my business” the nanny rolled her eyes.
“It’s your turn for the interrogation Monarch” Rebel ordered.
★★★
Matteo was in the room where he was packing the money when his phone suddenly rang in his pocket.
He wanted to ignore it but on second thought he reached for it.
“Hello” he muttered on picking up.
“Guess who it is” Pierce smi-rked over the phone.
“You bastard” Matteo raged.
“I’ll find you and I’ll kill you for what you did” he yelled making Pierce to laugh.
“Don’t be so sure bingo” Pierce responded.
“I have someone important to your daughter” he smi-rked placing the phone on Nicky’s ear.
“Help me Matteo…help!!!” She screamed over the phone.
“Nicky” Matteo frowned
“how did he get you?”
“I want abducted from the clan, help me Matteo” She sobbed.
“Where are you guys?” Matteo demanded.
“We are at….”
“Not so fast boy” Pierce removed the phone from her ear.
“Come to Bezek, my man will get you from there, it’s time we end it once and for all”
“What if i don’t come, she’s your wife anyway” Matteo huffed.
“Ion care about her, ion mind ending her right away” Pierce yammered and Matteo could hear the sound of a knife in the background.
“Help Matteo, he wanna slit my throat” Nicky’s screams could be heard.
“Stop Pierce, I’ll be there…just for the sake of my daughter” Matteo muttered.
“Don’t come with your men, disobey and she dies”
“Fine….” Matteo mumbled running out of the secret room, he grabbed a gun, a knife and bullets.
He reached for his jacket before running off.
