The doctor chuckled with sarcasm.‘’You certainly do not expect me to believe that, right? You are part of the war. You are a gangster. Look at the car you came here with, how are you able to afford it?’’ the doctor asked.‘’It’s not my car. It’s a friend’s car. Just treat me, doctor. All these other questions have nothing to do with you,’’ Marcus replied.‘’Yes, I will treat you but I will also alert the police. You, gangsters, are doing too much in this city. We have to look for a way to curtail all your excesses because you lot are driving the city down the drain,’’ the doctor argued.Marcus didn’t say anything to refute what the doctor had said. He had in mind to escape as soon as he was left alone in his ward to heal.Certainly, the doctor would not call the police immediately after treating him, would he? He would wait for a couple of days until Marcus started to heal before he called the police.Marcus thought.Eventually, he was left alone in his ward after his injury had been

Marcus eventually started to feel good enough to move around the city, and the first place he ever visited was Boss Shen's safe. Luckily, he was the only one that knew about that safe, talking more or less about who knew or didn't know the password to the safe. Marcus conveniently opened the safe and took out a hundred thousand dollars. It was just a scratch on the surface of the amount of money that Boss Shen had tucked away. The only thing that was supposedly not good about Boss Shen was the fact that he was not a complete gangster, if not, he was an astute businessman. Boss Shen was rich. If he had allowed everyone to know how much he was worth, or how much profit the Shen family company had made since he became the leader, they would have understood just how astute a businessman Boss Shen was. He never took any losses as far as his business was concerned. All that he was involved with was his green, much more than anything. So, looking at his safe now, Marcus was not s

Laura Ban strutted into the cinema, her eyes catching every detail bout the luxurious home that belonged to no other person than her ex-lover, Greg Chase.Who would have thought?She was so desperately wishing that something would bring her back to dating Greg Chase again. All this wealth, all this swag, all this luxury, yet she could not see any other woman around him, it was ridiculous. Greg Chase was still the same.Uptight, prim, and proper, as well as very conventional. He didn't compromise his habits at all. He did things in a straight jacket and followed a conventional way to live his life. Laura was even surprised that he was able to accord himself such luxury. It was not his thing at all, and she could not deny that she was shocked to see him in this space. ''What are you doing here, Laura Ban?'' Greg Chase said, emphasizing the Ban part so that it could sink into Laura's consciousness that she was no longer free to walk into another man's house just because she knew him

"If you will agree to accept me back, I will do anything for you," Laura Ban said to Greg Chase with an assuring tone. Greg Chase looked at her carefully with spark in his eyes. "You always have a way around everything, you have not changed at all," he eventually said after a long time of staring. Laura smiled. "I must have had my fair share of down time, but that is as far as it can go. I'm still very capable, I'm sure you know. Damien knows..." Laura explained. "Who is Damien?" Greg Chase asked with a tender voice. Even though he knew exactly who Damien was, he thought to tease Laura a bit. "Ban of course," Laura replied, laughing lightly. Greg smiled knowingly, and for the first time in seven years, he touched Laura's face, stroking the strand of hair that covered her face, Greg Chase pulled Laura close to him. She landed against his chest in shock and looked up at him. "Do you know the trouble you are about to start between Ban and myself?" Greg Chase asked. Laura Ban i

Laura had been significantly absent from Mr. Ban's house, enough to make him raise an eyebrow. As always, she had taken permission from him to go on another of her "vacations.""What's this new obsession with going out and being out there on your own? You know that there is a lot going on with us over here and you being out there alone is dangerous," Mr. Ban complained on this occasion where Laura was trying to escape to Greg Chase's house. Laura Ban swallowed hard. She had been happy that Mr. Ban had never particularly cared about her going out to rest, only for him to ask her this question all of a sudden. ''Oh come on. It's just a harmless ritual I started to indulge in. Nothing will happen to me. I'm sure you know that," Laura Ban replied. She hoped at the back of her mind that Mr. Ban had not started to suspect her. After all, she knew his temper well enough to know that it did not take him anything to flip sides. Mr. Ban could be happy and excited about something one moment
