Chapter 21Back at the Noble House. During breakfast at the dining table. “I’m still curious on where you went yesterday during the party, or why the party was held here in your mansion.” Lorraine said, in between chewing a spoonful portion of the meal in front of her. Avon gazed up at her, flashing her a timid smile that wasn’t witnessed by Lorraine, then returning his gaze back to his meal. “Did you know who the Dragon General is? Or are you perhaps one of his relatives? Is there any blood relation between you two. And the said Dragon General never even showed his face throughout the party, did you also know anything about that?” Lorraine babbled excessively. “Darling!” Avon addressed.“You should eat, I have some things to tell you when we’re done.” He said to her, the serenity in his voice like that of the soothing wave of the ocean. . Lorraine glared playfully at him with a pouted lips, before returning her attention back to her meal. She took three more portions before drop

Chapter 23 Royce went around the house, looking for Vance till he met him at the terrace, not only him but with his other brother, both engaged in a silent discussion that looks like them whispering to each other. “What are they doing here?” He questioned silently, the question directed more to himself. He merged himself close to the wall, taking countable silent steps beside the wall and moving close to them in attempt to eavesdrop on their conversation.“Is that all you told him? That you saw Royce going behind everyone’s back and still wanting to kill Avon?” Oscar asked, his voice silent and hardly audible, but hearable to Vance and Royce’s ears. “Yes, and where is Royce, shouldn’t he be here, I feel we should have asked him about this before even going ahead with it?” Vance said, looking around in support of his question. “Yeah, I looked everywhere for him to inform him on the change of plans but I didn’t see him. I wonder where he went, whoever that sees him first between th

Chapter 25The words slipped gently out of Avon’s lips, seeping slowly to everyone’s hearing, different expressions surfacing on each faces at the heard of it.Lennox was stunned and confused at the same time, he knew his sons are trying to kill him and after telling them not to, some still disobeyed and went ahead with the plan, that was the reason why he asked for the poisoned plate to be switched with those still pursuing the plan. He had no idea that it was the cup that was poisoned instead. “What are you saying?” Lorraine had asked aloud, her gaze fixated on her husband with a befuddled look expressed wildly on her face. “This dinner that we are invited to wasn’t an acceptance dinner, it’s instead a plan to lure us here so I can be killed.” Avon replied, his hard face staring at no one rather at Lennox who was still confused at the uttered statement, he believed he knew about the plan and the confusion and stupefaction on his face was an act. “What!” Lorraine exclaimed, unbel

Chapter 27Avon Barksdale soon arrived at home, going straight to his office while sending for his assistant to meet him there immediately.“What do you have now on them?” He asked the moment he felt his presence gracing the room. Seeming busy with the gun he was corking and a mask he was preparing.“As predicted, they’ve gathered at their usual spot to mourn the loss of their leader, I have gotten their location and it’s right here with me. Now you can go after all of them at once.” He replied, his head bowed the whole time he was talking. “Keep a close eye on that girl and find out about those who she said are after are, I will be back soon.” Avon said, done with what he was doing and immediately moving out of his office with his assistant following closely behind him. “Alright, General.” He responded, before letting his boss walked off and away totally from him, also taking a new turn that leads to the room where Kory resides. Avon got in the awaited vehicle, settling down wi

Chapter 29“Hey, is the so called Uncle’s look alike still in this house, I’m still imagining her face we need to go see her.” Faye, the cousin of Lorraine who had followed her sister said out on the bed she was sitting on.She was alone in the room with Lorraine, the both of them randomly catching up on what they’ve missed on each other lives. This has been ongoing since yesterday, Lorraine had told her the other night about Kory, but forgot to mention about her being her lost twin sister. “Oh didn’t I tell you?” Lorraine asked, her brows squeezed as she gazed at her with her face scrunched. “That she looks exactly like your dad, yeah you did or is there more to know?” Faye questioned in return, squinting her eyes a bit back at her. “Well after dinner yesterday when I followed mom to her room, she actually opened up about the past, turns out Kory is actually my twin sister, the doctor told her she was dead then as a newborn child but turns out she wasn’t and now she’s back after
