Meanwhile at Marie's apartment, Joy tiptoed out of the house without her mother's notice. When she got to the porch at the entrance of their house, she looked left and right to check if someone was lurking around. When she was sure that she was alone, she brought out her phone to call Albert. It was at the second ring that the recipient picked up the call.Speaking in hushed tones, “ Hi babe, how are you?”“ I'm fine, love. How about your side? Is everything alright with you? Hope your mother is not troubling you?” Albert replied with a calming tone. He was extremely worried earlier, both about his mother and Joy, and he had almost cried out his eyeballs, if not for Alex's visit and Lucas's intervention.His nerves had been calmed with a bottle of alcoholic wine. He would have drowned himself in the drink, but Alex's presence stopped him. He was now alright to speak with his girlfriend.“ I should be asking you that, but hearing the calmness of your voice, I guess I shouldn't be worr

Albert rubbed his eyes to be sure he was seeing clearly, “ Yeah! It's her”, At a wind speed, he rushed to hug her “ Mom, I have missed you” He started crying, refusing to let go of the fragile woman. He was so engrossed in the warm embrace that he was oblivious of what was happening to Ms Jane.The woman couldn't utter a word, she held her head in pain, when she couldn't bear the agony anymore, she forcefully detached herself from Albert and she screamed.As she held her head, she was opening and closing her eyes at intervals and the world seemed turning around her, she was feeling dizzy.Before Joy could run to her side, she fell on the ground with a thud. Albert and Joy got to her side in a rush. She was shaken vigorously, but there was no response from her.“ Mom! Mom! Mom!Please wake up, it's me. It's your son, Albert. Answer me! Juliana” He was forced to call her by her name, due to frustration, but she had lost consciousness.“ Calm down, there is nothing wrong with her. She ju

Lucifer was pacing back and forth in the conference room inside his house. Some of his men stood before him with their heads bowed. Silence engulfed the room such that the sound of a pin could be heard.He glanced at them with a bitter look, then all of a sudden, he raised his voice, “ You are a bunch of idiots. How could you allow them to slip away from you like that? How could you lose them? That was the best opportunity you could have used to capture them when Albert was harmless. He seldom goes out with guns these days and I'm sure today was one of the days. Damn!” He attacked them furiously.“ Snake! I'm highly disappointed in you. If someone told me you would miss your target, I would have put a straight bullet on the person's head. This is the best chance for me to become the most powerful dark lord on earth and also exalt my revenge on Justin Rowland. I would have gotten my revenge on Diego for betraying me, but I’m acquainted with him for the rest of my life. The only grandso

“ I can't believe Jeff did all that! I knew he was heartless, but how did he turn worse all of a sudden. Thank Goodness I'm alive to see you again. Before we talk about Justin's issue, I want to ask you about someone very important.” Albert did not waste time to regale all the happenings to his mother when she settled in. He wanted to allow her rest for some days, but Juliana couldn't stop asking questions about his father and why he was chasing them.Juliana was baffled at the amount of crime committed by Jeffrey since she had left and she blamed herself for having an affair with a man like him. She even blamed herself for giving Albert a monster as a father, when she heard the torture he went through in the hands of his so-called father. She pledged to do justice to everybody that Jeffrey has hurt, by granting them the support within her powers, especially those that were connected with Her beloved Joy and Albert.“ Who is this person you wanted to ask from me? Do I know him/her?”

Later in the evening, Lilly dressed up as instructed by her husband and they went to the Riverside together. When Lucas parked at the Riverside, she was surprised. Although she trusted her husband in all his decisions, she still needed to ask questions.“ Why did you bring me to the riverbank for training? I thought you brought me out for martial arts training, why here?” She questioned, looking around the quiet area. Before Lucas could answer her question, she had gone out of the car. She twirled around, enjoying the cool serenity of the river. The river wasn't in the middle of the town, her husband took her to the one in the forest. The fresh air, the coolness, the silence and the excellent view of nature were amazing to Lilly.“ It seems someone is enjoying herself already” Lucas joked, then he moved to bring out the wooden crafted swords and real swords from the booth.“ Wow, I love this place. We should come here some other time. At least we will leave behind all our worries at
