***While the terror was going on, Oscar had dropped Bradley with the authorities and ensured through his influence as the leader of the Jones League of Consortium that Bradley was going to be sent to jail as soon as possible.He was heading back to the event hall. He hoped that the program had not ended because he still had a few more people to humiliate especially George Morgan.George Morgan destroyed his precious heirloom which was the only thing that belonged to his late mother. Oscar wouldn't also forget how George humiliated him after Inara and Arabella faked a situation of him hurting Inara’s baby bump.Oscar had prepared George’s share of humiliation and even though it may not be as potent as the others, he was banking on the possibility that it would unbalance George in some way.He had been putting calls through to the announcer but his calls weren't picked up or returned.Oscar was beginning to wonder what was going on. Layla was also not picking up his calls and that was

Jamie was still trembling with the effort of maintaining his composure as he hid in the shadows.His heart thudded in his chest as he heard the gunshot that highlighted the death of the innocent man. His fear threatened to consume him as he wondered if it was really a wise idea to remain there and refuse to heed the assassins’ call. But why would he just surrender himself to die? He was most likely more important than the guy the assassins killed anyway, he reasoned.A lot of people would suffer so the people around him who were signaling to him and urging him to surrender himself had better given a second thought.Jamie’s mind twisted and turned, his thoughts a frantic and disorganized mess as he forced himself to ignore the guilt that he was having.He had to drown himself in his own excuses.“Alright, since you are still going to remain there, I guess you have no problem seeing some more innocent persons die.”The lead assassin whispered again to one of his men.Within a moment,

“You hid yourself from us all these while because you thought you were smart. You thought you could somehow escape what was coming for you.”“You must be very important to Oscar seeing that you want to protect yourself so much. I am going to love to see the pain on Oscar’s face myself when I finally kill you.”Jamie was too weak to even plead anymore. He just accepted whatever was coming for him. He was dragged along the pavement like a dead log of wood. The lead assassin also followed the other guys. They had completed their exercise and were ready to leave the hall.But one of the assassins walked toward their leader. Whispering into his ears, he spoke. “How about the guy sir?”“Who?”“The guy who revealed who Jamie was to us. Should we let him back into the fold?”“Oh, I see,” The lead assassin’s face came alive as he remembered the secretary guy who snitched on Jamie.He retraced his steps back to the man.At that moment, the man’s heart was a heavyweight in his chest as he didn'

“Look how easily you fell into our hands. You know we didn't ask for this. You kind of just entered into our trap.”Oscar’s eyes fluttered, his consciousness teetering on the edge of awareness. His breathing was shallow and weak as he looked like a sick patient.The assassins’ eyes were gleaming with evil as they thought of the best ways to inflict pain on Oscar. He was going to suffer for what he did and watch his business associates die before they finally killed him.“What’s wrong? Can't you keep your eyes open? Don't tell me you are too weak to even face me?” Brian put up a grin expression. “Or are you scared? Are you surprised? Why are you so quiet? Ah! I see that you are just a pathetic coward.”Brian shook his head as if he was having some pity for his victim.The assassin’s words trailed off and he drew back his fist before delivering a hard, brutal punch to Oscar’s face.The blow landed on Oscar’s jaw with a potent cruelty that left him dazed and broken. The sedan’s backsea

But Layla noticed that rather than being dodgy, Charlotte was rather confused and unsure about something. Charlotte’s eyes darted with a flicker of uncertainty as she seemed unsure of where she was going.Layla knew that she probably needed help and even though she was earlier irritated with Charlotte, she started to think that perhaps Charlotte was not as bad as she had initially painted her to be. Good people do bad things sometimes, she reasoned.Her heels clicked on the floor as she approached Charlotte whose movements were erratic and uncertain as she paced back and forth with an unbalancing force.“Hey, Charlotte,” Layla spoke, jolting her from her terrible confusion. “You look kind of confused. Are you okay?”Charlotte bit her lip, her expression uncertain as she wrestled with the decision to tell Layla what was bothering her. It was quite refreshing that Layla was concerned about her though.She finally found the courage to speak. “Erm, it is just that I don't have anywhere t
