Chapter 10 Avon first off took his kid to an ice cream store to get him a bountiful scoop, he also ordered all of Atlas’s favorite type of cookies. Afterwards, he took him to an amusement park in the city for some rides. He spent the entirety of his afternoon having fun with him. Atlas has not gotten familiar with him yet, but he seems to be enjoying his company, the same with Lorraine. They both were cheering up to his presence. Avon also took him to a gadgets store, particularly the kid’s section. He bought him a lot of mechanical toys, tablets, he got him a handful of stuffs to play with. Hours of fun later, they rode straight to the city’s station. Lorraine expected them to go home, but was confused when their ride came to halt in front of the station. “You should stay here little man, your mom and I will be right back,” Avon said to Atlas as he patted him on the back. He nodded, a smile on his face that highlighted his deep rosy dimples on both side of his cheeks. Avon peak

Chapter 12Lorraine’s eyes blinked into a still motion when a sharp edge plunged into her stomach. Her lips parted into a slow gasp as pain sailed from the hit and straight into her body. Blood gushed out in heavy flow as her stance faltered. She fell to the floor in a slow thud, her shaky hands close to her stomach to feel the impact of the pain. Avon snapped back to his senses as he moved out of his frozen spot, he grabbed Frank’s neck from behind and twisted it effortlessly before he tossed his body to the other side of the room. He ran straight to where Lorraine was, and quickly settled her body in his arms. He examined the stab with vibrant fear in his eyes. He was a medical personnel for sometime during his life at the military, yet his brain found it hard to operate at the sight of his wife in pain. Muffled groans cracked out of her as her eyes rolled deep into her socket in anguish. “Breathe love, fuck! I told you not to come.” Avon steamed with panic as he looked around

Chapter 14 It’s been two days already in the hospital, and Lorraine has been on the chatter to Avon that she’s fine and he needs to stop wasting money and discharge her. Avon only ignored her and smothered her instead with more and more hospitality, that weren’t just from him, but from everyone around him and the doctors or nurses in charge of Lorraine’s wellness. One of the doctors has finally assured Avon of Lorraine’s health, and he was now hundred percent sure Lorraine is fine enough for them to return home. “There’s a surprise waiting for you when we get home,” Avon said to Lorraine while in the car that sped decently through the city. Lorraine pouted, “Really?” She let out a soft chuckle. “You know you didn’t have to,” she added in a tender tone. “Do I also get a surprise?” Atlas stared up into Avon’s face excitedly, a wide smile on his face as he anticipated his response. Avon grinned, before he squeezed his face playfully. “The surprise might be for the both of you I gu

Chapter 16 Avon came back to his seat, the same time as those who tried to run away slowly crept back into their seats, fear exploded wide on their faces. “Meeting isn’t over or adjourned, and you guys wanted to leave?” Avon tsked as he shook his head disappointedly. “So does anyone have a thing to say about CG going solo? Speak now or forever bent to my will?” He looked around their faces. Their paled gazes, attached to a mask carved out of their fears. None of them could say a word or breathe in opposition, no one wants Frank’s brutal fate at the hands of the Dragon General to become theirs. “If that is the case, then can I get a nod from you that you all agree?” Myriads of positive nods followed Avon’s statement to prove they were in support of any moves he pulled, just to avoid a spot on his bad side. “Then meeting dismissed. However, before you all scurry on and out of here.” Avon stood up on his feet as he walked around the right side of the table, his figure and darkened

Chapter 18 Avon wasn’t expecting Damian to visit anytime soon, but when he got the news that he’s around. He was forced to round up his meeting with Simon, and be on his way back to The Noble House. Soon they rolled into the Noble House’s yard, Avon came down and went straight inside. Everyone was still around, not like he expected them to leave yet, but the living room was still as crowded as he left it. Infact, Damian has joined in on the chatter as he interacted effortlessly with everyone. They were all asking him questions on how he’s related to Avon and other stuffs about him when Avon walked into the scene. “And joining us finally, is the man of the house, give it up for Avon Barksdale guys,” Faye announced, followed by an unanimous applause from everyone. It was creepy, Avon nearly smiled, but instead settled on a smirk as he walked into their midst. His gaze inspected the room briefly to notice Lorraine wasn’t there, neither was Atlas. They must be upstairs in their room
