Marcus Rashford was the owner of Raven Records. As one of the top label owners in the region, he was considered a rather big deal in the market with a few big names signed to his record label.However, he wasn't a man that was satisfied despite all he had which was why when he found out about Edith Selene, the desire to make her his was at the forefront.Unfortunately, she'd never accepted his advances and that left him annoyed.How dare she reject him even with all he had?So even though he stopped chasing her, he never let go of that desire to one day make her his woman and also a signee of his record label.This was why when Jared approached him to sell Edith and her music, Marcus accepted without hesitation.For a whooping sum of 250 million dollars, Marcus had purchased Edith and her music catalog but imagine his surprise when she was kidnapped.Due to the situation, Marcus had to keep the deal under wraps for fear of getting investigated by the police but after Edith was saved,

[8 hours prior]Ever since Richard had healed Lily, she'd stayed in the house with no opportunity to step out due to James being overly protective of her.Who could blame him though?... He was only looking out for his daughter who had nearly died.Which father wouldn't have done the same when put in his position?This was why Lily hadn't despised him despite having to remain indoors always.She knew she owed her father considering it was her carelessness that had ended up nearly taking her life.It was still annoying though considering she wished to celebrate her recovery from what should have been the end of her life.She'd tried to get a hold of Richard to visit her so she would be able to thank him for saving her but as a wealthy figure, Richard was too busy to spare time for her which was quite regretful as Lily wouldn't deny that she had a bit of a crush on him.In any case, no one else knew about her recovery with her father keeping things under wraps.However, with his departur

Those who had watched the commotion were quite shocked by Jayden's actions since no one saw it coming.Few were supportive of it while others could only shake their heads at the sight.Meanwhile, Jayden was gloating to his friends before glancing at Lily who remained silent."Don't worry, Lily." He said with a puffed-up chest. "I won't let those sorts of rascals even get within 10 meters of your vicinity. I'll always protect you so you can count on me."Though he said this to impress her, his words only served to cause Lily more discomfort as she despised violence more than anything.Why would she wish to be with a man that was so aggressive?... Imagine if they had a petty argument, would that mean he would hit her as well?Just the thought alone once again reminded Lily why she must never allow Jayden back into her life.He was an impulsive cheater with anger issues and no way would she be involved with such a man.Jayden seemed to notice her discomfort but try as he may, Lily refuse

"You fool, how could you just leave her there?... Didn't I tell you to get on her good side?... The minister expects us to get close to the former Commissioner's daughter so it would be easier to get into the good books of the new one since they are close friends but you had to do something so cowardly." Brian berated in annoyance.Jayden could only apologize as he knew that if his father learned that he had not only caused the problem but also shoved Lily toward the thugs to make his escape, he would surely get a tight slap.Considering his options, Brian quickly made a decision. "Come, we'll head to the Commissioner's house tonight to inform them of the situation. In case of anything, we have to prove that we are willing to go the extra mile with them. Also, call the police, Lily might need to be rescued." "Understood, Father," Jayden remarked, albeit reluctantly.He knew that if Lily ever saw him again, she'd surely spill the beans about everything which would put him in a lot of

"Dad, how can you allow that fool to keep on doing all this?... He is trying to act like he is some big shot but he is nothing compared to you. You are the Almighty dragon general, bestowed the title by the Emperor of Zion himself. How dare this Richard Smith try to act like your equal?" Doreen inquired in annoyance, dissatisfied with how her father was handling the matter."Yeah, Dad. This isn't right, you have to put him in his place else he'd dare think he was your equal. How much has he made to dare think he can act so wantonly?" Murphy concurred with his sister, the siblings agreeable in their dislike for Richard Smith.General Watson chuckled. "What do you wish for me to do?... Beat him up?""Yes!" Both siblings replied."Is that so?... Alright, what about this?... If you can prove that he is lesser than he carries himself to be, then I would surely do as you've said.""How do we do that?" Doreen inquired in vague excitement.The General shrugged. "You decide. All I'll do is wat
