Immediately, they all stepped back, avoiding eye contact with him. Now, they were all beginning to have pity for Andrew instead because they already believed he wasn't going to survive what was coming next. As the second in command of the most fearful and powerful underground world thug, Hunter commanded respect wherever he stepped his feet, and no one dared to touch anything or anyone from their region of the underground world which was the South Glory underground. Especially if that person wanted to remain alive. “See what you’ve done to yourself and us. Why would you dare touch him?” One of the guests complained afterwards, suddenly switching sides. “You should have just learnt how to mind your business. You don't have to interfere in whatever has nothing to do with you.” Another guest supported the other, and on and on did they go about berating Andrew for what they already considered to be a grave crime. “He is not someone of your caliber. You shouldn't have touched h

Now it was evident that his plan had failed and he had to hurry with a new one or else he was going to get disgraced and probably thrown out. Morin was in a hurry to get Andrew out of the way so he could end up with Anastasia instead. He knew that with him around, and his plans involving him failing, his marriage with Anastasia was not going to go through. And by all means he needed to get married to Anastasia, even if that meant dealing with anyone who stood in his way. Justin, on the other hand, was just as restless as Morin. Since both of them had been the executioners of the evil plot, their reputation was on the line, especially now that inspector Amos had confessed. “Alright everyone,” Justin walked to stand in the middle, clapping in order to draw everyone's attention to himself. “It is now clear to us that we have made a mistake by following the false rumors which spoke I'll about our dear brother in law. So, I beg everyone to please apologize to him for speaking ill abo

Finally, the time for the party had arrived, and the hall was bursting with activities. From people chatting away, and the low, comforting sound of music that filled the decorated hall. The servers could be seen walking around with trays of drinks and champagne in their hands. When it was time to get the party going before the main event took place, Mr. Roman walked towards the front row and drew everyone's attention with the clicking of his glass. “I must firstly thank you all for choosing to make time and come celebrate with my family. Thank you for that.” He began his statement, wearing a huge smile on his face. Everyone smiled back and patiently waited to hear more of what he had to say. “I'm sure that we're all still aware of the reason for our celebration today.” He paused for a while, the smile on his face immediately washing away while a downcasted look, one laced with pain and disappointment. “However, I'm sad to say that my heart and that of my family has been

It was like one of those nights when the Ashton family always had enough to celebrate. It could be about their evil schemes finally coming to a sensible plot, or it could be that as usual, they were always one step ahead. They were all seated in the large and undoubtedly spacious living room, bearing smiles on their faces and gladness in their hearts. Finally, one of the family's dreams was going to come to pass. “Oh, finally.” Anastasia groaned loudly. Not the kind of groan that held any form of regret, sadness or pain. But the one filled with relief. Every member of the family seated, and who equally understood what she meant either burst into a loud laughter or chuckle. “I'm so happy for you Ana. You finally get to be free.” Her aunt Monica said, a smile of satisfaction crested on her face while she helped herself with a glass of champagne from the table. “I can't believe he really thought I was going to get married to him. Tch!” Anastasia hissed out loud, her tone and face

“I'm going to show them just how good and useful I can be to their family if they let me get married to their daughter.” Morin couldn't just get over the obsession of Anastasia over and done with. Just as much as he saw every opportunity as a means of proving his worth, so did he see this present case of Mr Roman falling ill. Everyone was now at the Ashton family mansion, and they were all panicking, looking for a means to cure Mr Roman who couldn't be treated by other doctors they had called. No one could even take what must have made him fall ill so quickly without a warning. But they were more worried about what was going to happen to him if they didn't find any doctor who was going to heal him on time. “Let me heal him. I can do it.” Andrew volunteered, stepping forward to where Mr Roman was laid right there in his bedroom. “Have you suddenly gone nuts?” Anastasia was the first to yell at him, her eyes blazing fury with the tears trickling down her cheeks. “Do you have

Meanwhile, back at the Mortan’s mansion,the atmosphere was gloomy with their gazes fixed on the TV screen. Oliva stared in disbelief, her heart brimming with anger “How could they do this to me?! “She yelled, not exactly directing the questions at anyone “There is more to this, you said Leono requested for the video before agreeing to give you the contract. So how come they are cancelling the contract” Mrs Veronica asked, her voice laced with shock "You caused all this Olivia! such a thing was asked from you and you gave it out without informing us first, now you can see what it has cost us! Mr Kendrick yelled, his voice dripping with fury " Oliva your father is right, how could you? Your sister is serving a 20 year jail term and now your brother, had also been sentenced 30 years, all because of your selfishness ”Mrs Veronica lamented “How is it my fault mommy? They choose that path, how am I the one to blame, was I the one who asked Anita not to go to school and instead choose

A few minutes later, Denzel joined his grandfather and uncle in the sitting room. After settling down, Denzel began without delay “Grandpa, how did Montage manage to become the COO of K. D Leon? He wasn't even able to do anything when brickwell stole K. D Leon's design and now, he is sending men after my life”Denzel said, his tone laced with subtle anger "Son…” Grandpa Leon said and paused as if pondering on something “Montage was my loyal assistant for 10 years before I decided to make him the COO, as at that time, he was the best candidate for the position . Although his performance dropped, because he started to feel comfortable, coupled with my illness, I wasn't always there to monitor everything like I used to,but he never came off as someone that could be able to hurt a fly, talk more of killing his future chairman So son, are you one hundred percent sure that it was montage who sent those men?” Grandpa Leon said calmly, adjusting his glasses Denzel opened his mouth to tal

A few hours later, Denzel, Amanda and Ellias were seated in the car as his butler, Mike drove the car. They had dropped Mr.Dave at his busstop and were on their way to drop Ellis before heading back home. “So how did this happen Amanda? Denzel asked, his gaze fixed on the laptop sitting on his laps. “Young master, It was Amanda's fault” Ellias cut in sharply, giving Amanda a side glare “How was I supposed to know that it was a trap”Amanda counted, rolling her eyes at Elias “I warned you… "Ellias I need you to keep shut! Amanda go on ”Denzel said sternly , cutting off Ellais from what he was about to say “Ok young master, ” Amanda let out a deep breath as she began “After we ended the call and I escorted the testifiers and their families to take the secret route to the airport, I returned back to the court to pick up Ellias because he didn't come with his car. And Mr. Dave's car also happened to have developed a fault, so the three of us headed home in my car. H

“What do you mean by, everyone is dead and you are the only one surviving ?!” the man growled, his eyes blazing with fire “S.s… s ...sir the man released the snakes on everyone, but I managed to escape before anyone else noticed” the man on his knees stuttered, his voice laced with fear and trepidation. “What rubbish are you spewing?! How did he get the box from you Amon? Amon was in possession of that box and it was supposed to be released on those people”The furious man barked, his voice dripping with venom “S…s..sir Mr. Amon released the snakes from the box, but the mysterious man controlled the snakes and it went back into the box.”The man said, his gaze fixed to the ground because he wouldn’t dare look his boss in the face while saying something that sounded so ridiculous. “Are you listening to yourself?” Mr Philip snapped, slamming his hands on the coffee table After K. D Leon won the court case, they got information from an insider that the lost grandson of the K. D Leons

Everyone in the room let out a horror filled gasp as they stared at the shattered glass on the floor and back at Denzel. The men trembled in fear as their heart banged furiously against their chest. A few minutes ago, they felt confident and secured hiding at the back of that tempered glass, and in less than a minute, the glass was shattered on the floor, leaving them at the mercy of the mysterious man. At this point, they knew they were done for, and with just a whistle from the man , the black zambars would pour out from that box they were in and attack them. Their bodies shook in fear, and one by one, they all went down on their knees, surrendering to the mysterious man standing tall in front of them. 9 of the men were all on their knees except Mr. Amon who stood dumbfounded, as his body trembled involuntarily,still he refused to surrender. “Please sir, forgive us, we are sorry” “We will never return to our evil ways# “Please have mercy, I don't want to die” “I have a fam

Standing at the entrance was Denzel, his chest heaved up and down as sweat streamed down his muscled body. “Sir please you need to leave , grandpa Leon won't survive if he hears that you are dead” Amanda cried as her heart thumped in fear At this point, Amanda wasn't thinking about herself, the day she swore to be Denzel’s right hand man and assistant, she also swore to lay her life on the line in place of his, if need be. But now, they were both helpless with no one to save the other. “You don't need to bother about me, I will get you guys out of here”Denzel said confidently, his voice firm and laced with assurance Meanwhile, one of the men had rushed out of the room and sneaked up to Denzel’s back “Watch your back young master! ” Amanda yelled, but it was too late as the man had forcefully pushed Denzel into the room and locked the door behind him. A roar of laughter reverberated from the other side of the room covered with a large transparent glass, where the men watched fro
