The bullet went through Cade’s left arm and he groaned in pain. His guards immediately stepped forward to apprehend Alex or possibly beat the living daylights out of the boy but once again, they were held back by Cade. “You’re just a spineless bastard, Alex. You can’t beat me and you know it. That’s why you came here to throw a childish tantrum. Did you really think I would be afraid of you just because you brought a gun?” Cade asked and laughed.Alex’s face got red with embarrassment while Cade’s security guards were marvelled by Cade’s bravery and fearlessness. They didn’t understand why Cade didn’t want them to deal with Alex but they respected his decision. Alex was the one who looked weak to them. “Fuck you Cade!” Alex said and ran out of the place.Akex was furious. He hadn’t come there to kill Cade, but he wanted to at least intimidate Cade or make Cade afraid. But Cade had laughed at him and it made him even more furious. Now he wanted to kill Cade by all means but after thi

Cade had invited Ingrid over to his place while he was still at his mom's. He had scheduled their meeting for today, the day he left his mother's place and back to his own apartment. He hoped the lady would like to be there for what he called ‘a chitchat’ in his mail to her. When the lady reached out to the number he added on the mail, he was sure that she would honour his invitation. So, after the call with Raegan, he got ready and went downstairs to his living room to await his guest. He had the intention of recording the conversation he would have with her too. He reminded himself to begin recording once she came in. It was some minutes past five in the evening. Exactly when he had scheduled the meeting. He sat, watching the news as he waited for the lady. A crime scene was on, and the reporter was talking about a fight that happened in some remote location. But thank God for the cops who accidentally passed through the secluded route, they located the incident and arrested the me

Cade and Raegan continued going on dates when they could. Because of their busy schedules, they could only meet twice or three times a week at most, but they spoke everyday on the phone. They made sure to stay away from the public most times so people would not start speculating about their regular meetings. Only their family members knew that they were getting close to each other and that was how they liked it. Raegan’s father was excited, but he was nowhere near excited as Cade’s mother. The night that Cade invited Raegan to his mothers house to have dinner together his mother had cooked enough food to feed half the town. It was after that night that Cade had officaially asked Raegan to be his girlfriend with a grand romantic gesture. Raegan accepted and they agreed to keep their relationship secret. They didn’t want reporters and other nosy people trying to break them apart. But their plan for secrecy was ruined by Raegan’s father. The president was overjoyed to have Cade as a son i

With the happenings and events going on with his family – on both sides – Mackenzie had begun to regret his youthful decisions. He was regretting having to leave his wife, Cade's mother, and going to Cassandra. It all started when Lucia, Cade's mother, gave birth to Cade. Before giving birth to their son, Lucia and Mackenzie were in love, even though their marriage was not a love marriage. It was an arranged marriage by the parents of both Lucia and Mackenzie. Mackenzie's father, who was a really wealthy man, thought it would be good if his son got married to the daughter of his rich politician friend, because the friend was the only person richer than him in the country. Then, Mackenzie had been in a relationship with a girl, but at his father's command, he broke up with the girl to be with Lucia Travinsky. Lucia on her part was not told of the arrangement, but her parents kept telling her how much their endorsed spouse for her would treat her well. Now, Lucia was innocent as a dove

Hailey was done having Cade's nonsense. After the embarrassing stunt he pulled on her the last time, Hailey was up with a fatal plan for Cade. How dare he shove her out of his house naked like that? He just had to pay. It was a usual ritual for Hailey to go back to her city and sulk for a while before coming up with a new plan, but not this time. This time, Hailey did not even need to go home to make any plans. She could easily come up with something that would kill the man, and only because he had refused to cooperate. So, after some time passed since the last incident between them, she made a new plan and went to visit Cade again. This time, not to seduce him. This time, to teach him a lesson that he would never forget, so when next he sees her, he would act right. It was a very sunny day, more sunny than it had been in the past few weeks. While some saw it as a clement weather for their events and thanked God for it, Cade saw it as an inconvenience. He had a few errands to run acr
