Chapter Thirty_seven : I can't

The following week

" Do you know on Saturday is big sister's birthday?" Azuka asked Xavier as they were both playing basketball. It's been long since Azuka ever played basketball because of hardship and focusing on his exams to the university.

" Not....really...but , I'm gonna make it memorable in the best way I can " Xavier said almost out of breath as he scored another goal making Azuka loose in the second round.

" Don't you have work?" Azuka asked out of nowhere . " Not really....I'm the CEO... I can clear my schedule or shift meetings in a zippy so that I can have some time for myself" Xavier said.

" You guys are serious with this ball thing under this hot sun " Becca said as she folded her arms up against her chest .

She just came back from work as she didn't have.much to do than to change clothes and take photo shoots elegantly or as required.

" Love...you're back" Xavier said as he dropped the ball and jogged off to meet Becca who was probably receiving some shade from the roof. " Yeah....isn't the sun too hot for you guys?"

" Nope... maybe because you're pregnant" Xavier whispered so that Azuka wouldn't hear.

They both chose to keep the pregnancy a secret so that they could get to know each other more and grow intimacy step by step also so that Azuka wouldn't freak out.

" Peni , come here " Scorpion said as he looked at his computer that had all the data concerning Azuka's, Becca's and a little of Xavier's movements because of his tight security . " Yes sir "

" Peni , I gave you an assignment but for two weeks now you haven't been able to draw information from that bastard "

" Sir.....it's not my fault , besides....I don't wanna use his innocence to ruin our friendship"

" What do you mean by that Peni.....I raised you, I brought you up from the slums you b*tch , so you better do what your master say "

" I'm sorry sir but I CAN'T " Peni said as she looked directly into scorpion eyes. " What did you just say?"

" You heard me clearly.....I can't.....I like Azuka alot and I can't do this to him.....I know we're just getting to know each other but I like him already and using him to harm his sister is a bad idea....it would destroy our relationship....what's your problem anyway.....old Chen already gave you 15 percent shares for free and yet you still wanna ruin him " Peni said and she received a dirty slap that sent her to the floor on her face. Her eyes immediately became Misty from the pain and hardness of his hand against her cheeks , she felt devasted.

" Fine , you slap me or turtoure me all you want but I can't , I can't harm them....they haven't done anything wrong to me ...I thought that's how we roll.....only when someone has done bad or done wrong before we busy them up or negotiate.....why trying to make them.loose all their hard work?" Peni asked as she sniffed trying to hold back the tears that threatened to fall.

" Because I hate them "

" Master just give up already.....as for me , I like Azuka and if it takes for me to be in your way.....I will never let you hurt Azuka or anyone that concerns him " With that she stood up and was about to leave when she heard scorpion say " With that you've proven how ungrateful you are to me..... however....I may reconsider.....only if you can set my daughter free from prison , she's my joy and my fastest source of income "

" Fine....I'd try my best in busting her out or begging for her release but just know that if you ever try to hurt Azuka or any of his family and friends.....I will EXPOSE you Mr Paul " Peni said and left the house to enter her Volvo wagon which she'd bought through her own sweat as she drove to her house which she bought through her hard made savings .
