CHAPTER 30

After a while they all left and he remained behind with the other priests and priestesses.
“After a long discussion we have realized that it won’t be to our advantage if we take her sisters but her girlfriend.”
“Does she even have a normal relationship?”
“Yes, she does. She had been dating that heiress from St Claire.”
“Wow, she has good standards. She will make a better target, it won’t matter if she is serious or what. Let’s just grab the girl and make sure everything goes perfectly.”
“Let’s do that. Don’t grab her too early but Friday night to avoid any suspicions.”
“We will do as planned. It’s just three days away from the ceremony, time is ticking.”
“Indeed, it is. Let’s disperse now and do our parts.”
“Yes, lead priest. We will see you on Saturday.”
“Let’s meet.”
After the final meeting Sam drove back to his house. He kissed his beautiful wife on her cheeks, hugged his small kids before heading for the bedroom.
One day they were going to understand why he did that. He was going to make his ancestors dream come true after all. Haven white didn’t know what was coming for her. He was going to make life very miserable for her that she will wish that snake never bite her in the first place.
Harold White really felt bad for neglecting his own flesh and blood. He was raised in a family that considered advancement as the best thing that one could do in life. And he did just like that in his life.
A great career for himself and he wanted the same for his kids he daughter Haven in particular was always different but he didn’t mind at all. She reminded him of how he was like when he was young.
Unlike his other children Haven loved sports, anything dangerous she could go for it. She was an adventurous person and because of that she was involve in so m any fights that it became worrisome.
When she landed a group of high school boys in the hospital that was the end of it. How could she just beat guys like that with an intention to probably kill? Ever since that day he grew less fond of Haven, she was expelled from school and ever since then he never really cared what she did as long he just put money in her account so that she won’t starve.
It was the same with everyone. They all felt at peace without her around until recently when Haven’s girlfriend spilled the beans. He was ashamed and embarrassed about the way he raised his own family and to make it up to his daughter he persuaded her to go to lunch together on a Friday afternoon and she agreed which was surprising considering how she refused every single day.
He waited for her in his hotel restaurant. He had never had a public meal with her before and he wanted that. He checked the time and noticed she was late. Maybe she wasn’t coming anymore he thought to himself.
He looked up and saw Haven entering. His baby looked gorgeous and more handsome than pretty. He could see the ladies smiling and glaring at her as if they wanted to eat her up. It seems like his daughter was a bit famous.
She walked towards him and he stood up and pulled a chair for her before they both sat down.
“Sorry for being late. There was an accident in the road,” she apologized.
“Are you okay?” he asked worriedly checking if she was not hurt.
“I will never be hurt again father, don’t worry. It was someone else not me,” she explained but he didn’t really get what she meant in the beginning.
“As long you are fine that’s what matters,” he said.
Their food arrived and they began to eat. Just being with her, watching her like this was just good. He wished if he could have got to know his daughter early and not now.
“You seem to have a lot on your mind. If you have questions just ask. If I can answer them then I will,” she said and he just froze.’
Does his daughter read minds?
“How have you been?”
“I have been doing great. Everything is just perfect,” she answered.
“Are you working and if you are what kind of job are you doing?”
“I do work and I work in a small investment company,” she replied.
“Do you love being there? If you don’t you can come and join me,” he said.
“I didn’t in the beginning. It was tough and tiring but with time I got used to it and now I just love it. I don’t think I can come and work for you, I’m okay where I am.”
The words really hurt but he deserved it. If she was working then it was fine. It would be worrisome if she was jobless and yet she was busy spending her girlfriend’s money.
“What’s the company you for?”
“Viper Investment Company,” she answered and he froze.
That wasn’t a small company at all. So many people in his circle knew about the company. It had so many beliefs and so on. Why was his daughter working for a company like that?
It was dangerous and he didn’t want her to be mixed with a crowd like that. He was never part of the organization but he used to have a friend who did and he died mysteriously.
“Are you okay father?”
“Yes I am. I really want you to come and work for me though,” he insisted but she turned him down.
“I can tell that you are worried about something but I can take care of myself. It might be dangerous but no one can hurt me or do anything to me. So don’t be afraid, I’m a big girl. I promised myself that a long time ago,” she said.
