The car was hanging precariously over the edge of the bridge, as the river below roared and raged. Jackson and Fernando were trapped inside, their doors locked. Jackson looked at Fernando, he knew he had to make a choice. He had to save him, even if it meant sacrificing himself. He had already lost too much in his life. He couldn't bear to lose Fernando too."Only one of us can make it out the window of the car, and you have to go. Save yourself," Jackson said, as he reached for the broken glass. "No, boss, you go," Fernando said, shaking his head. He was bleeding from a wound on his forehead, and his eyes were filled with pain and fear. "You're the leader of the Blade in Shadows. You have to stop them. You have to find out who Wilson is, and why they're after us.""I can't let anyone else I care about die. Get out of here, Fernando," Jackson said, as he grabbed Fernando's arm. He tried to pull him towards the window, but Fernando resisted. He was too loyal, too stubborn, too brav

Angela ducked behind a table as bullets whizzed past her head. She could hear Carmila's voice over the loudspeaker, taunting her."You should join me in taking over, Angela. I will make this organization great again. Join me and bring order to this chaos. You waste your talent here, I mean Mistress of Blade."Angela clenched her teeth and gripped her katana. She had no intention of joining Carmila, the ruthless general who had betrayed the memory of Jackson, Ever since the burial of Jackson eight months and two weeks ago, the organization had divided into five factions, each loyal to one of the five generals vying for power. Martin, the politician. JD Thomas, the business. Beatrice, the media mogul. Commander Xio Xing, the soldier. And Carmila, the spy.Angela and Fernando had sided with no, Together, they had planned to remain neutral and restore the organization's honor. But Carmila had anticipated their move and ambushed them. Now, Angela was surrounded by Camila's deadly ninja w

Sophia stared at the window of the private clinic, her belly had grown into a full belly bump as she was now eight months and a few weeks pregnant. She felt a kick from the baby inside her, and she smiled faintly. She wondered what her child would look like, and what kind of life they would have. She hoped they would never have to face the dangers and enemies that she had to deal with.She turned her gaze to her father, who was lying motionless on the hospital bed. He had been in a coma for over eight months, ever since he was shot by one of Madeline's men but the bullet had damaged his brain, and the doctors said there was little chance of him waking up.She felt a surge of anger and sadness, and she clenched her fists. She hated Ella, she had made Sophia a target, and Ella had been sending her generals and henchmen to harass and attack her.Sophia had not given up, though. She had fought back, using her skills and contacts to grow her business and protect her territory. She had a

The room echoed with the sounds of grunts and the clashing of metal against metal as Sophia and Angela sparred. Sweat glistened on their foreheads, mingling with the determination that fueled their movements. "Fuck," Sophia cussed as she narrowly dodged Angela's strike, her breath coming in short gasps.Sophia grunted as she blocked Angela's punch with her forearm. She felt a surge of pain in her lower back and winced. She knew she was pushing herself too hard, but she didn't care. She had to be ready for the conclave. She was also the target of Ella, the crazy bitch that wanted to eliminate her and her unborn child."Easy yourself," Angela said, lowering her guard. She was Sophia's best friend and bodyguard, a former soldier who had joined the Black Rose after saving Sophia's life. She was also one of the few people who knew about Sophia's pregnancy. "You're almost nine months pregnant, I can't exactly fight with you like it's life or death.""Stop taking it easy on me," Sophia s

Morning came, casting a soft golden glow across the room as Abigail slowly stirred from her sleep. The sound of rustling and hushed whispers reached her ears, “What are they up to now” Abigail thought, indicating that Ella and Williams were preparing to leave. Abigail's curiosity piqued, she sat up in bed and glanced towards the door.As if on cue, a tall figure emerged from the shadows, flanked by two imposing bodyguards. It was Willam, a formidable force of nature in combat with two of his most trusted and strongest bodyguards. His presence alone was enough to strike fear into the hearts of his enemies, rendering the need for bodyguards. "Where are you guys going?" Abigail inquired, her voice laced with curiosity. Ella turned towards her, a mischievous glint in her eyes. A malicious smile played on her lips as she replied, "We are going to Ella's office. I heard she's in today."Abigail's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Ella's office? She couldn't help but wonder what Ella's true
