“I pledge my undying loyalty to you, great Knight. Say the word and I shall make it happen.” Jason declared with his head bowed. The knight grunted, glaring at Jason. Information reached him that Jason was there when the lowlife stranger assaulted his son but stood and did nothing. "You dare to show your face here?!""I came to be useful to your Lord. I'm well acquainted with the family. In Fact the Lady in question who was the reason for the fight thinks I'm her husband-to-be. I can get her before you in a piece or whole just by your word." Jason declared with determination. He had been wanting to get on the good side of the Knight and there was a perfect opportunity. His father doesn't regard him anymore ever since he made one mistake that cost them a fortune. Jason had been living a shadow of himself while he tried to get back his father's approval, part of the reason why he was in May's life. But there was another way to gain back his father's favor even quicker. If he can get t

Jade flew across the room and landed on his back at the other side. The bullet had missed his left leg by one inch. He looked up terrified at the gun man. Declan King. That was not a miss, Declan had purposely shot the exact place he did. "That was so quick. I didn't expect you to come this fast." Jade hissed, hiding his fear as he got up on both legs. Declan didn't say anything. He glanced around first and seeing May curled to the side unconscious made his rage rise. He pinned a glare at Jade, his hands folded in a tight fist beside him, almost turning pale. Jade locked eyes with Declan and he saw Declan's eyes were red in rage, anger, fury. It was as if his body released visible smoke the way he fumed in rage. Jade shifted and swallowed. He was nervous and his gaze shifted to the gun in Declan's hand. But what Declan did next was shocking. Declan opened the gun, took out the bullet and tossed everything to the side. Jade smiled. Now the gun was away, it meant they were in equa

"Here, it's not a bomb." Declan almost chuckled at their fearful faces. "Then what? Show us what it is." Clara demanded. Declan first brought out an envelope. "It's a letter, addressed to Ms. William.""Me?""Yes. And a gift" Declan concluded by bringing out a small plant in a glass vase. Clara and May exchanged surprised glances.Now seated at their dining table, Clara and May gawked at the letter and plant vase before them. Declan was still with them, they had asked him not to leave until they read the content of the letter. "Can you read it now?" Declan asked for the uptempt time and May nodded frantically. She took the letter and her hands shook as she opened it."An apology letter?" She gaped looking up at Declan. "What?!" Clara snatched the paper from her hand and skimmed through the lines . "Spade Fraternity is apologizing for the damages the knight caused us and is asking us to accept their gift!" Clara couldn't believe her eyes. How was that possible? Her gaze darted to

The waiters brought in two caskets of the most expensive drinks in the house and asked them to choose. "Hmm... I would like to try both of them. What do you think, May?" It was a rhetorical question and Clara didn't wait for May to answer before she continued. "We will take both of them. And bring two more bottles of each.""Mom…""What? We are celebrating!" Clara smiled, joyfully anticipating the look of embarrassment on Declan's face when he saw the bill." The waiter did as instructed and the table was 6 bottles of expensive wines all together. The first three cartons were craft brews that cost 200 thousand dollars each. The other three cartons were limited editions of a grand crus wine. All the three of them cost over 3 million dollars. Other dishes were served and the feast began. Every other person on the table felt awkward with what Clara ordered, maybe aside Declan who was indifferent to what was going on. After dinner, the bill was brought to the table and Clara cleared her

Mandy was at Asher groups and company the next morning. She sat in the lobby and waited for her turn for the interview. She happened to be the last on the list out of 20 applicants. While she was waiting, she looked around the magnificent glass skyscraper. Everything about the company exuded class and competence. No wonder they have made such a big name for themselves. May suddenly feels small sitting in the lobby. Her company still has a long way to go, she admitted. But May gave herself some credits. She was rising so fast and paraventure she secured the partnership with Asher, she herself will make waves in no time."May Williams?" A beautiful lady called with a bright smile"Yes""Please come in now."May took a deep breath and followed the lady in. "We meet again, May Williams." Mandy looked up from her table when May approached, clasping her hands together. "Such a small world, isn't it." May returned the smile taking the seat across from Mandy when offered. "I wouldn't agree
