Tiger's point of view... I stared at her, she was smiling. That beautiful and innocent smile will disappear if I do that. No...! I pulled myself back and smacked he thought out of my mind. "Nothing. Probably just a little stress," I deflected, lowering my head to stare away. Grace curled her lips. "You're weird, Steve" she complained."Weird?""George always said you're like a suspicious burglar," she replied. I shuddered at the image of a tough-looking guy, flashing in my mind. Chuckling, I said, "He never says anything good.""Steve," she added, and I turned my head over to her, nodding it slightly, "Is that true you left the Army?" It was a rare question because I never let her dig into the past but I still have to answer, I simply nodded looking down. "Then, what exactly do you do for a living?" she asked, her gaze direct and curious.From the moment we met, she saw me as a protective big brother, though I remained a mystery from when I met her again after my incident. "
Author's point of view...Tiger Rodgers...! After a long time, Tiger heard his own name as a fuming power. As a big gangster. It felt weird yet a bit tricky. Did he ever see the real Tiger Rodgers? Though it was not a compliment to his ears, a smirk curled up on his face. He stared at the young man with an amused expression on his face. "Tiger Rodgers...!So? So what...!" He did not wait for a response and instead twisted Elvis's finger that he was looming before him. Elvis suddenly felt his finger throbbed in pain. As if it was about to break."Aagh...!You basta..rd..!" he screamed but his words didn't come out clear as a strong thing hit his face just like a wall, buzzing bells rang in his ears, crushing his head. Elvis initially thought that he was hit by some hard thing, but did not even expect that he was just slapped on his face by the man standing before him. Shivering, he stared at Tiger. Was that just a hand or did this man have an iron fist? "Steve, forget it, let's j
Author's point of view... After leaving Gracia, Tiger was a bit confused. It was true that he had raised that girl as his own sister and he could not take that peck normally.He had to make it clear. Feeling uneasy, he didn't return immediately but was strolling around in a dilemma to call her out or not. Unknown of the fact that there was chaos at the cafe because of him. "Get the bitch...!" Elvis's boss shouted a command and his men yanked towards the girl. Though she tried to run away, they grabbed her and dragged her inside the cafe. "Please let her go, that kid has nothing to do in this" The cafe owner started begging, but that man was another kind of a monster. His eyes gradually became cold. He was like a devil from hell!That boss proudly stepped on Wilson's hand, which was spread on the ground causing him immense pain, and grabbed the girl's hair. He looked around and said domineeringly, "Where is that hero of yours? Call him or be ready to get shattered..."Hearing this
Author's point of view... "Black Shadow...!!" A man with a notorious reputation. Known for his treacherous deeds among the Mafia network. When that name rolled out of that man's mouth, Tiger narrowed his eyes. If that was in confusion or it was his anger, it was yet to see. Elvis's boss sneered in a loud tone, "It's your end...!!" he mocked Tiger under his death, his head was still captured, under Tiger's foot but still Tiger let him barg. Nearly four luxurious cars stopped one after the other, that area was not so developed and road was just simple and narrowed one. Those cars blocked almost all the road causing a commotion in the middle of thd road. Many vehicles stopped due to that which make it a crowdy place in just few minutes. "Who are these people? What are they doing here?"Looking at those luxurious cars, everyone was clear about one thing that the people came in them were some big shots. A man in his late thirties stepped out of the middle car when the door was ope
Tiger's point of view... I have created many small gangs who existed to build my network but I hate taking small kids in them. It was a rule I set. Instead of taking them in the gangs, I prefer sending them to the training centers. I hate it...! I hate those young minds doing as they please. Because they creates all kind of troubles than being a help. Though Dad insisted, I refused him to take up kids back then. Those kids have a life ahead. Just because they want money it doesn't mean they have to turn to this path. A path where there is only blood and death. I had no choice when I came back and once getting in this ocean, there is no turning back. I never wanted those kids to end up that way. But this dump head Blacky had taken my trust for granted. He was punished though it was just a small one for what he did. After the mess has been settled, I asked Mike to help Wilson to rebuild his cafe and moved out of it. A pair of eyes were still staring at me in disbelief but I can'
Ria's point of view... From the morning I opened my eyes, today, my head seems to be spinning. Dizziness, fatigue. I don't know if it was because of the stress I have been through or if it was due to the blood loss that I suffered. I tried to take a rest, thinking that everything would be fine if I got a proper sleep but things were not normal, something was wrong with me. However, I don't have anyone beside me to comfort me. I mean, someone to rely on not those monsters guarding at the door. After returning from the hospital with those DNA reports, I found Tiger so much disturbed and I truly didn't want him to get bothered about me anymore. I thought respiting might help me but it didn't. I felt even more tired despite not moving a finger. It was getting on my nerves, I was never a girl to lay on the bed all day. This wasn't my style. I got up and tried to roam around the mansion, checked on Mom, and spent some time with her. But as time went by, my health just got worse. I a
Author's point of view... Devastated, Tiger spread his men everywhere to search for Ria and his Dad but surprisingly there was no trace anywhere to start the quest. He left no options, the complete city police and traffic police were at work as it was the task allotted to them by the most influential man in the country and they didn't have the guts to deny it. Those small gangs under his control and also those big gangs following him, everyone was involved in this search option. Tiger declared that whoever could find any hint of Alex or his men, will be rewarded with whatever he wanted. But yet...! They couldn't find anything. Not even a single clue that can lead him to find them. Mike had personally checked all the surveillance cameras across the area, including those which he installed to keep an eye on the old mansion. But surprisingly nothing could be found. No one ever strode out of the mansion. "Where the hell did he go...!" Tiger yelled and his men surrounding him almost
Ria's point of view... Darkness engulfed my entire world. My body was numb and it was then that I noticed that it had been hours that I was lying unconscious on that cold and dirty floor. But no one bothered if I was alive or dead. Not my husband nor the one who kidnapped me. I might have been able to endure it if I was alone but the innocent life inside me made me miserable. I couldn't endure it anymore. Wait...! I can't die here...! At least not a miserable death. I forced myself to the limit to get my senses back. My throat had felt like it had swollen as I struggled to finc the words the moment my eyes had snapped open. I scrambled to my feet and smelt something foul as the cool breeze billowed over my loose brown hair, whipping over my face without regard.Wh... what just happened? Wait! Who! Where is... I tensed, and my eyes narrowed.The door had opened and someone was here.Having honed my senses since I was born, under the hardships I endured all my life. I had seen it
