Reynold looked at himself in the mirror again, he had just finished taking his birth and preparing to go to his study before the dawn of day, he sighed as he looked at his now very stubborn chin beard which has refused to stay out of his face, he just cut it few days ago and everything is now as hairy as it was just when he cut it, with this he realize time is not on his side as he has to get someone to marry soon, he is no longer a kid, but who and where to get who to marry is the question, although, he could have thousands of ladies at his feet since he is handsome and rich, he did not want what happened to his grandparent and parent to happen to him, he want a happy ending.

Meet Reynold, 30 years old business tycoon, he owns many of the International Companies in town, he is proud and hard to work with, but the fun part of his life is that he is still a virgin or so he thought, he had stayed away from getting intimate with ladies all his life and the only one time he could have gotten laid, he was saved by the bell, he is an orphan and lonely since his father Mr. Moises was found dead a month ago in his house and his mother had always been nowhere to be found.

The ringing of his phone in his sweat pant pocket distracted him from any further thought of getting himself a wife, he picked the call and Detective CarMichael came on board at the other end of the call.

‘’We found something interesting about your father’s death’’ CarMichael spoke from the other part with so much vigor

‘’Let me hear it’’ Reynold replied sitting at the edge of his bed

‘’Felice was found in your museum yesterday, so I was wondering what she was doing there’’ CarMichael asked in a suspicious tone

‘’What is your shot’’ Reynold asked back in the same tone

‘’I was just wondering how and why on earth the person who killed your father and had been out of sight for a month was suddenly found in your museum and nothing was heard about it’’ CarMichael asked this time with a daring tone

‘’You think I know something about that, you are suspecting me right’’ Reynold asked calmly

‘’Not really, I just have to do what I should do and that is my job’’ CarMichael replied with a bit of sarcasm

‘’And what if I tell you to hold on and not do anything for now’’ Reynold asked

‘’What are you up to’’ CarMichael asked eagerly rather than being surprised

‘’I want to do a little check on what the hell she came there for’’ Reynold answered confidently

‘’But that is why you have someone like me’’ CarMichael replied, but instead of getting an answer, his statement drew a blank

‘’Okay, you can have it your way but that does not mean I will totally be out of it, I can’t lose my childhood friend’’ CarMichael said and hung up

‘’Suit yourself’’Reynold muttered under his breathe and headed to the study

Peg tied August shoe lace and finally dressed her kids up for school, she had to do these every day for a month now, wake up at midnight, prepare her children for school, get herself prepared for work and leave the house as early as 4 am since her place of work is at the outskirt of town. Peg is a single mother of two, she had gotten pregnant when her blind date some years ago forced himself on her after the date, she had emphatically told him she did not like it and he was also in the same boat of not liking her, he offered to walk her down the street for a while which she agreed to but he took advantage of her when they got to a very quiet place, Peg is 27 years old and her kids are just 4, she was sent away by her rich parent when she was discovered to be pregnant, her elder brother had been the only one who had kept in touch with her, he was the one who also helped her secure a job at the best museum in Camlimba, he had offered to help her with many other things like house and cars, even taking care of her children but she refused claiming she wants to walk the way up herself. She bids her children goodbye and left the house after serving them breakfast

REYMOS LOCAL MUSEUM was in total disarray as the news of the CEO coming for some supervision was broken to the workers, workers who had had an encounter with the CEO before already ruled the day as a bad day for them band were scared who will be fired will be, because any time the CEO comes around, one or two workers will definitely bid their job farewell, workers who had not had any encounter with him before were already anticipating the worst for themselves due to both International and mouth to mouth news they have heard from their colleagues. Peg was not left out among those who were as scared as rat being chased by a cat, she was sweating underneath and was thinking it will be end of her if she got fired, she will finally have to accept her brother’s help since she is just so sick and tired of life already, as a tour guard, she was so convinced that she will not be meeting with the CEO today, but something was telling her something was off.

She was walking around the museum when she saw a man in red jacket trying to open the STAFF ONLY AREA

‘’Hey sir, you can’t go in there, it is only for the staff’’ she called out stopping him

The man turned to her and asked with disdain

‘’Who are you‘’

‘’I am Todes Peg, a tour guard here, this area is for staff only if you could read the sign, so can you please help yourself out of here’’ she asked daring the man to argue with her, she was a bit taken aback when the man pushed the door opened

‘’Don’t you hear I was coming today, I am the CEO’’ he replied her
