“Did you even try to settle?” Mrs Marcus scolded her daughter who was in tears as reality slapped her hard in the face. “That boy really got you arrested and you could not slap some sense into him.”Her mom had come to see her four weeks after she got sentenced to jail. She didn’t complain because her father was still very much sick and was still in the hospital. Her mother looked perfectly healthy and alright.She didn’t even look like something was wrong with her husband somewhere.“Settle? He wasn’t even going to talk to me after I got arrested because the case isn’t his. It was the government that charged me to court, that was why I asked you to get me a darn lawyer.” She gritted her teeth. “Why did you have to fight with your own sister?”“I am owing her some cash and I haven’t paid back, you know how she is when it comes to money.” her mom spoke like she wasn’t at fault. Violet had gotten most of her nonchalant attitude from her mom. That was why she didn’t like to accept her f

Pedro pushed the door open for his boss to come in. “What do you mean the Walter boy has been off the radar for some time now?”They entered their storage room. It was a hidden room no one knew about. Only the people that held high status knew about the secret room.The house helps and outsiders couldn’t even locate where the room was because of the location of how the lock was placed “Since his accident we don’t know if he is dead or alive but we checked his work activities. They are very much active, nothing has changed on the inside or outside. It was like when he disappeared a year ago.”Pedro reported as his boss stroke his chin casually, giving what he said a thought.The Walters are the most wanted enemies. They have given the Lions so much issues, and pretty much restricted them from interacting in the society with their real identities.They caused people to be aware of their strengths and how they can ruin the country. They had also exposed their illegal doings in the past a

“Phew!” Cephas sighed as he helped himself out of his hiding place. Blood flowed into his cramped legs causing him to freeze for a while before he could finally feel his legs again.He made sure that Pedro had left before he attempted to come out.“Why did you save me?” he questioned. He could not believe that the person that tried to kill him and his father was right beside him. “You didn’t seem like a righteous person from the discussion you were having with your friends earlier.”Cephas cautioned himself, remembering that he was under a disguise and he could blow his cover if he kept being emotional.“I did not save you, young man. I did that for myself. You must be delusional if you think that I would go any length for anyone, especially a stranger that I don’t know and have absolutely no connections to.” She smiled and sat up properly in her chair.“Were you putting up an act when I came in earlier? Acting like you were sick or something?” Cephas asked in surprise.“I was prep

He opened the door to the secret room where Elsa was. She was smoking with her eyes closed. He wondered for a moment why she was doing this to herself. She could escape this place if she wanted but she wasn't attempting to do so. Normally he would have regarded what she is doing as stupid but he was suspecting a fight for power. It made him so curious and frustrated at the same time.Elsa seemed like so many things to him, a ticking bomb, a software with so many features, a hard code to crack. She was a woman with intentions. It was very obvious in the she was spoke to him the last time but she was hiding her abilities.She was interesting like a book with cliffhangers and he wanted to know more about her. He would literally pay her to tell him bertying about her but he could not offer heer money.That was the only issue because he would be blowing his cover. Money didn’t seem to be a problem for her. If she was really sleeping with the Lions as Antonio had claimed then she would hav

100Elsa lit up a stick of cigarette and started smoking once again. A big smile formed on her face as she thought that it would be interesting to watch Cephas accomplish the mission that she gave him.It has been a while since she had fun last, she has captured his sympathy and now he wants to be her partner. He was one of a kind.He didn’t even question her or ask why she wasn’t helpless like he first thought.He was like the kind of men she feared and loved o because they loved to explore, some of them die foolishly while they seek knowledge while the rest find what they seek and never get satisfied.His ,otive was none of her business, she was glad that someone was available to keep her busy till the Lions returned back and they gave appropriate judgment. (Author’s note for the purpose of this story alone: The Lions were the mafias that brought their organization to New York and renamed themselves.)She had vowed to deal with Antonio when the time comes.Till then her little toy
