CHAPTER 51
"Meeting with Klaus?!" Linda exclaimed widely after setting her gaze on the message, reading it repeatedly."I thought it shouldn't be this fast.""We need to talk, everyone," he gulped down the coffee at a stretch heading to the sitting room immediately. "Draco!" he called loudly from the hallways, his voice echoing to the living room, putting everyone on their toes."Boss, any problem?!" Draco had stomped to his feet at the sound of his name."Yes Draco, Klaus messaged. Do you think I am ready for it? If in case he calls for a drink? I didn't think the meeting would come this quickly." Edwin's voice was braced in nervousness."I really can't talk about that, boss. But I'm sure Klsus would call you for a drink soon, as long as you are his favourite…" he finished but immediately included after realising that exactly was going through Edwin's mind. "You need not panic, boss, your stomach is used to alcohol already."Draco changed his stance before he furthered on. "You might not be a g

CHAPTER 52
"Why should I be mad at you?" Edwin dropped what he was holding, and turned around, only to get what he never hoped for.Linda locked lips with him unexpectedly and he was left to stare. Her lips intruding his unexpectedly, forcing his to part ways, had felt as though he were in a long time dream.The last time me ever had a kiss was with Cisra, he had loved her wholeheartedly, and never devoted his time to another woman but her.At the same time willing to please her with everything he had, but then she found it pretty hard giving herself to him.The only time he had enjoyed intimacy with her were their early days in marriage, but months later into it, Ciara had fathomed rules which included dividing their beds in two so as to prevent intimacy.Was he broken by it, obviously yes. Which husband in his right senses would be willing to accept the fact that he wouldn't touch his wife.Certainly no one, but Edwin had stood by the law. Ciara had one day gotten so drunk that she herself req

CHAPTER 53
"Guys, something is wrong, but then I don't want you asking me if I know what's wrong, cause I don't. For now, I can't tell." Tony repeatedly checked over and over again putting the rest in confusion."Tony, check this damn thing," Xander repeated, slightly hitting his fist against his palm."If you will be so patient, I will sort this out," Tony warned without staring."We are waiting, Tony." Linda took a seat patiently staring, even though repeatedly stomping her foot against the ground.Tony busily having his fingers clatter on the keyboard soon voiced. "I've found it. All along, it was only a misconception, but it's solved now.""Thank goodness." Linda stopped hitting the ground, and Xander became patient as well."Now, back to track. Linda, here are the pictures. I need you to choose which of these belongs to your dad's lawyer."It didn't take long before she pointed it out. "Here it is.""It's this guy?" Tony stared suspiciously at the picture."Yea, it is. It's really the guy."

CHAPTER 54
8 pm, Meritual gang meeting…Another moment where everyone was gathered. It's been quite a while since the last gang meeting, another reason Klaus requested the meeting is that he could put his team members on track, ensuring that even during the meeting's absence, none of them have gone out of their way exposing the gang secret.Lastly, he wanted to get more information about Kendel. In the recent time, he had suddenly grown a likeness out of the box for him and if it were possible that the young lad would live with him, he would see to it that he made it happen. However, he couldn't. Based on the fact that Kendel has rejected him first due to some reasons, Klaus not wanting to portray himself as a pushy boss had accepted and agreed to it.After everyone was gathered. Klaus raised and said. "I called this meeting so we could look into something, but I feel you guys aren't ready for it.""We are ready for anything, boss. As long as it's your command, give us anything and we will foll

CHAPTER 55
Upon reaching out to the door, Kendel’s jaw dropped. “Barron! You!” He pointed to them one after the other in surprise, after assuring Alaric wasn't with them anymore. He definitely needed to make it real.“Barron! What are you both doing here? How did you even get my house, are you stalking me?” Kendel was amazed.“Stalking you?” Both of them turned to face one another and scoffed before saying again. “Stalking you, you say. We are not stalking you. We only wanted to bring you some gift, properly welcome you into the gang.” Barron explained.“But how would we have done that when all you do was to hang out with Klaus 24/7? You don't even want to get used to us, so we decided to find where you live, and here we are.”Kendel faked sighing deeply and concerned even though he knew they were lying. “Alright then. I guess it's fine guys I… I don't know how the gang works yet, and… I barely hang around Klaus. Yeah, he did ask me to get used to him., but then, I must be honest, I'm scared of

CHAPTER 56
Tony entered from the other end, followed by Xander entering, positioning himself behind the wheel."You can shout all you want but no one will hear you, why? Because this car is soundproof. Your shout will never be heard outside." Tony smiled, staring at the terrified Ethan."What do you want from me?" Ethan asked once more."It's simple, just corporate, and who knows, you might get back to your beloved wife tonight. Xander drive!""If he makes things difficult for you back there. Just knock him out." Xander advised.By the order meted out, Mr Wright shrank into his skin. He felt blood rush through his veins.Hurriedly, Xander zoomed off, driving towards a warehouse, and pulling the vehicle to a halt in a short while.Waltzing out of the vehicle, Tony hurriedly pulled Ethan alongside."Where are you guys taking me?" he voiced with a terrific tone, scared of what would befall him next."Just follow me, or you find yourself dead!" Tony threatened, pulling Mr Wright by the wrist till t

CHAPTER 57
"Alaric, what do you think about the boss and Linda? I think both of them are in love." Draco poured himself a glass of water before he resumed his meal.Pausing his meal, with a half-filled mouth, he voiced. "I don't know, but as a growing man, I can say Linda is in love. And as for the boss, na na na… I can't say anything about it."Draco took a spoonful of the meal. "I think the boss has completely fallen out of love and sealed his mind to having a woman in his life. Even if Linda loves him, I think she would have to go through a lot before she can get into his heart.""Yeah, that's why the proverb, slow and steady wins the race, exists." Alaric chipped in, focusing on his meal.Draco paused on his meal for a while, gazing at Alaric. "Alaric, what about you?""What about me?" Alaric sipped from his glass of water before continuing."Yeah, I've never seen or heard you talk about a wife, or kids or family… Or even a girlfriend," Draco whispered softly, but Alaric smiled slyly instead

CHAPTER 58
"We meet by 8 pm." Klaus had said on the phone.Edwin had wanted to ask what it was about, but he had to keep his mute. Whoever will play by Klaus' side would need to exercise a lot of patience and wisdom."Alright, boss. I will be there by 8." Edwin cut the call, and checked his time. "An hour to go, guys remember. If I don't return, don't sweat on my demise, do not miss me, just go with the plan.""We won't boss. But you also have to return, many lives depend on you." Alaric stated trying to dissuade the negative words Edwin spouted."Let's see how it goes. But now, I need to be on my way!" Edwin dipped his hands into the armholes of his black jacket, it was winter, and going out at that time of the night would be cold."We wish you the best of luck, boss," Draco said, throwing himself around Edwin for a tight hug, then the same did Alaric."It's good I have you both here to wish me goodbye." Edwin smiled, stopped a cab, and zoomed off."Alaric, the boss should be back, right? This

CHAPTER 59
"Guys, you haven't told me a thing as regards getting the lawyer? You both have been moody all day, not talking to either Perry or me. What's going on? I deserve to know." Linda loudly questioned Xander and Tony upon her entry into Tony's room."It's nothing, we ar…e still on it so far…" Xander replied, staring at Tony."Is this true Tony? You guys are like this or is there something that you both aren't telling me? Something I need to know?"Tony turned to face Linda. "It's just as said, Linda. Prefer you stay out of it, and let us both handle it. When we get to the point where you need to come in, we will call on y…""No, guys… I'm nervous. I c…" she used when she realised both of them were keeping track of time, and on such short notice, Xander voiced to say."I think we should get going so we don't miss out on the target.""Wait, a minute… Is it the lawyer? What happened? Are you guys not able to get him?""Xander, let's go," Tony said emotionlessly.Linda was confused, she didn'

CHAPTER 60
Klaus led Kendel into the big mansion. Two things were on Kendel's mind. Klaus was either playing him or he was real. However, whatever the case, he was ready for either of them."Welcome to my abode." Klaus opened the door leading the way for Kendel to go in."This place is adorable, boss. It's massive." Kendel appreciated gazing at the exquisite chandeliers. A plush, velvet sofa dominated the centre, adorned with elegant accent pillows that added a touch of colour. The room was bathed in soft, natural light from a row of tall windows framed by luxurious drapes.A stunning chandelier hung from the ceiling, casting a warm, inviting glow. Edwin's eyes were drawn to the intricately designed coffee table, made from polished wood and adorned with carefully arranged books and a vase of fresh flowers. The walls featured a collection of tasteful artwork, and a grand piano sat in one corner, its keys reflecting the ambient light.Edwin wasn't surprised because of the magnificent place, but
