“I told you,” Rodney said. “I’m nothing to that man. If you want revenge, get the children he loves.”“We would, but unfortunately, they are not idiots like you. They don’t go anywhere without guards. They don’t get into taxis, and neither do they check in to cheap rundown hotels.”“There’s the little one,” the man said.“No, leave Lyra out of this. She is an innocent person.”Ariadne sighed and ran a hand through her hair as she paced around the room in obvious distress. Her plans seemed to have fallen through before he even started. “The boy is right. We have no business ruining a child’s life. Marcus was that age, too. I will not touch that kid.”“Who was Marcus and what happened to him?”Suddenly the woman appeared next to Rodney and slapped him hard. “You are not here to ask questions about anything. And if I hear you say that name again, I swear I will kill you.”“Calm down, darling. Let’s go upstairs and come up with a plan.”“Wait, what if we torture him and send Alberto the v
A Son's Revenge: Destroying My Father Shooting
As time went on, the gunshots increased in frequency. Rodney was torn between leaving the basement to find Harvey and staying to protect himself. Since the man had untied one of his hands, he used it to undo the ropes wound around the other. He proceeded to untie his legs that had been tied together. When he was finally free, he stood up and ran to the door. The shooting had stopped, but his heart was still beating fast. Rodney slowly opened the door and looked out. His lips parted when he saw a body on the floor. Although he could not see the face in that angle, he could tell it was the man who had spoken to him. He turned back into the room and locked the door. Since he had no idea what awaited him upstairs, he decided to remain until everything settled. However a light bulb went off in his head and he thought of the police. If they found him there, he would be dead meat. If the police found Alberto Roco’s son in a house with dead bodies, they’d definitely think he was the shooter
A Son's Revenge: Destroying My Father Unwanted visitor
His hand found Harvey’s as he turned and stared at the door which opened to reveal to a woman. She wheeled in a room service cart as Rodney’s brows furrowed in confusion. “Why didn’t you knock?” Rodney asked her. The woman paused the cart and glanced at the door. “Because he told me not to.” “Who?” Rodney asked. Harvey’s footsteps could be heard approaching the door. Everyone in the room stared at the door way, waiting for the man to reach. He stepped in. Rodney’s face fell when he saw the last person he wanted to see in the world striding into the room. Alberto Roco even had the guts to smile. “What the hell are you doing here?” Rodney asked, glaring at his father. “Not pleased to see me?” the man said, tilting his head. “Even after I rescued you? The police were hot on your trail. Eventually they would have got you if my men hadn’t got there in time.” “You rescued us after putting us in danger. It was because of you that Ariadne kidnapped us. You killed her son. You are the

Rodney was extremely glad to hear from someone who warmed his weary heart. Due to all the complications he had encountered, she had slipped from his mind. “Lilly,” he said. “I don’t think your friend likes me very much,” Lilly said in a sweet tone. Rodney chuckled. “Not really. He just doesn’t trust people easily.” “What does he think? That I’m a scammer?” “Yeah, he does. He’s crazy sometimes.” “What if he’s right?” she asked. Rodney smiled. “Let’s just hope he’s not. Otherwise, he would never stop teasing me about it.” “Why do you think you can trust me? Is it because of my looks?” “Shouldn’t I trust you?” She laughed. Rodney liked her laughter. It was sweet, low and hearty. An image of her smile popped in his mind, and he realised he wanted to see her again. “Did you arrive in new York?” “Yes, in fact i have just landed. That’s why I called you. Where are you staying?” “I actually have no idea,” Rodney said and looked around. He picked up a brochure that was lying on the

An hour later, Rodney and Harvey were in a taxi, on their way back to the hotel. Rodney was mildly irritated by Harvey’s insistence that Lilly was a con woman who wanted to scam him. He didn’t feel like having a conversation with him and it seemed Harvey didn’t want to either. He was reading through news articles to see if anything had been published about the shootout on their first day in New York. Apparently, the CCTV Footage had been very grainy so nothing was known about the boys whose luggage had been found in the taxi. The taxi had described their looks to the police. Rodney laughed when he saw the sketches. They were so off. No one could recognize them. They returned and had a good night’s sleep. Morning came with a lot of stress. As they had breakfast in a restaurant a few blocks away from the hotel, they went through reviews of several real estate agents.“You know you can call your father to give you the contact of a good one, right?” Harvey said. “So we don’t have to suf
A Son's Revenge: Destroying My Father Surprised
Rodney was told that he was supposed to fill in some forms to make a name change petition. He had to provide proof of citizenship and identity with relevant documents. Unfortunately, he was told his name couldn’t be legally changed in New York until he had lived there for at least six months. As they checked out several houses, he decided that he would lease the house under Harvey’s name. When he finally got his new name, he would update or move somewhere else. “This is the best so far,” Harvey commented. Harvey looked around the apartment, studying everything in it. He went to the window and looked out at the busy city. “I like it.” “That’s settled then,” Andrea Cruz, the real estate said happily. “We’ll go through everything and I will talk to the owner. It’s late now so we may have to finish up everything tomorrow. I assure you that you won’t regret it here. I only show good houses to my clients and never hide anything.” “I hope so,” Harvey said. Rodney sighed and returned t
A Son's Revenge: Destroying My Father Congratulations
As the taxi drove them back home, Rodney couldn’t stop thinking of how Lilly had conveniently said it was time for them to leave right after he asked an important question. Lilly had not been looking at Carrie. How could she have known that Carrie wanted to leave at that very moment? He was staring to question her but did not want to voice his thoughts to Harvey. He didn’t want to hear the ‘I told you so’s’. He was sure Harvey couldn’t wait to hit him with them. The next day, they were able to get into their apartment. Andrea gave them a contact of someone who could help them get everything they need to furnish the apartment in only a few hours. Once the lease was signed and money paid, Rodney and Harvey moved in. it took about two hours for them to get most of the essentials, they even paid to own some of the decoys. When everything was done, the boys celebrated with drinks they had picked up earlier. “We have a home!” Harvey yelled. “Stop yelling. The neighbours might get us kic

“I’m very sorry that I left abruptly last night,” she said after they had made their orders. “It’s okay. Besides you had been there longer than me and it’s always wise to return home early.” She smiled. “You look really great. What are you doing in New York, Rodney? Are you just visiting or you live here?” “Harvey and I want to start over. We would like to start something here, maybe a business. I’m from LA.” “Why did you leave? I think LA has nearly the same opportunities as New York. Is there a significant difference?” Rodney shook his head. “I don’t know but I don’t really care. All I need is a fresh start. I recently lost my mother and didn’t want to stay home. Too many bitter memories.” “Ohh,” she said, her hand moving on the table. She placed it on top of his. Rodney felt a rush of electricity that travelled through his whole body within seconds. His breath hitched. He wanted to pull his hand back fearing that she would notice what was going on inside him but it felt reall

Gone
Alberto was killed on his first day at the maximum prison. After his escape, he had been taken to a more secure prison where he could only dream of escaping. Unfortunately for him, that was where other notorious crimes were being held, including some notorious drug lords who had been his competitors. One of them was El Monstruo. He had been sold out by Alberto two years back and he had sworn to get his revenge. When Alberto was taken to the prison he was in, he managed to bribe a guard to lace Alberto’s food with drugs. When Alberto felt weak, he sneaked in and killed him. That was how a man who had always been so cautious went down.Rodney wasn’t happy when he heard the news. He wasn’t very sad, either.

Scared
The sound of fists pounding against flesh filled the air as the Rodrigo relentlessly attacked the Rodney. Rodney had been knocked to the ground. He tried to shield himself with his arms, but it was no use. Rodrigo who was fueled by anger and resentment, continued to pummel him without mercy.“Stop it, stop it!” Rodney cried out.But Rodrigo only sneered and continued his assault, landing blows to Rodney's face and stomach. The younger man tried to crawl away, but the older and stronger one grabbed him by the hair and yanked him back, raining more blows down upon him.Finally, Rodney managed to break free and got up to his feet, gasping for breath. He wanted to leave the room, tired of hearing Rodrigo’s mocking laughter following him.Suddenly, uncle Markos came into the room and delivered a strong punch to Rodrigo’s face. Rodrigo raised his hand to strike his uncle, but Markos held his hand. Rodrigo’s strength was nothing compared to his uncle’s.“What’s wrong with you, boy?” he asked
Worst son
Alberto.“What are you doing here?” Alberto asked his son. “I’m pretty sure you’re mighty glad I’m here.”Rodney smiled. “You’re not wrong. I’m glad you’re here, where you belong.”Alberto chuckled. “So what? You came to gloat? I must warn you. I’ll not last long here so be careful about what you say or do. I might just ruin your life when I get out.”“Then I’ll make sure to enjoy the time I have while you’re stuck behind bars then. I’m enjoying this more than you think, Alberto. You know why? Because I was the one who told the police where you were.”Alberto’s lips slightly parted as the words sunk in.“That’s right,” Rodney said. “The son you think is no good actually managed to put you in jail. Alberto, the greatest drug lord whom many have tried to capture but have failed. Rodney Nelson, the good for nothing son with one kidney actually did it. The woman you killed must be very proud of her son, wherever she is.”Alberto rose and swiftly grabbed Rodney’s neck with his handcuffed h
Confined
Two weeks laterRodney was tired of being confined in Alberto’s mansion. He had reached his breaking point after begging alberto to let him go in vain. Taking care of Lyra was the only thing that gave him some comfort. One afternoon, he was sitting on the edge of the bed, his sister seated on a small stool. He carefully combed through her soft, curly hair, trying to gently untangle the unruly knots.“Ow, that hurts!” Lyra protested, squirming in his grip. Her hair had been messier than before that morning.“I'm sorry, Ly, but you have to let me comb your hair,” Rodney told her, trying to be patient.He continued to comb the hair, using his fingers to gently loosen the tangles. His sister’s hair was so curly and thick, and it was a struggle to get through it all. Finally, he finished and leaned back to admire his handiwork, a proud smile spreading across his face.“I’m done now,” he said. “You have the most beautiful hair in the world.”Lyra giggled, reaching up to touch her now-smooth
The clues
Miss Jones.Miss Jones was marking her student’s maths homework after having her lunch. When she came upon Lyra Sandman’s homework, she paused, feeling mildly annoyed. She remembered the girl’s brother who had promised to call her but had ghosted her instead. She felt more annoyed at herself for flirting with him. That’s what you get for flirting with your students’ parents, she chastised herself. She decided it would be the last time she would ever do something like that.She decided to forget the brother and focus on her student’s work. She realised this was Lyra’s best work. She figured the brother must have been helping her with it. Before, Lyra’s homework was always poorly done, as if there was no responsible person to help her with it at home. She felt admiration for the man.When she reached the second last paragraph, she saw something that had been written in a smaller font in between the paragraphs.“Lives on the wrong address. Details faked. Both stuck. Most wanted dl. Don’t

Rodney stood nervously in front of the kitchen counter, staring at the different ingredients laid out before him. His teacher was a seasoned chef called Marlon Price. He worked exclusively for his father’s cartel, earning millions. He had worked on a TV station for a while and never made anything substantial so he was more than happy to work for the drug lord. Marlon stood beside him, ready to guide him through the steps of creating a delicious meal.“First, we’ll start with the vegetables,” Marlon said, picking up a large, sharp knife. “You want to chop them into small, even pieces. Like this.” He demonstrated, expertly slicing the vegetables into neat little squares.After seeing how it was done, Rodney picked up the knife and mimicked the chef’s movements, trying to keep his cuts as even as possible. His looked a hundred times worse than the chef’s. Rodney had decided to learn how to cook out of boredom. As he looked for a way of delivering Alberto to the police, he decided to do s
Hatred
Rodney was feeling a deep ache in his chest. He had been friends with Octavio for only a few days but was missing him so much. He stared out the window, watching the leaves fall from the trees. The atmosphere outside seemed so dull and lifeless, just like how he felt inside without his new friend. He curled up on bed, wishing he could just disappear and never have to face the pain of losing Octavio. He had not prayed in a long time but that night he did. He prayed for Octavio to be alive.He went and sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the dull walls of the room. Tears streamed down his face as he thought about his mother, who had been murdered in cold blood just a few months back.As he sat there, he could still hear her sweet, angelic voice in his head, telling him to be strong and to never give up. She had always been by his side but now, he felt lost and alone without her. For a dark, gloomy moment, he thought of ending it all but the thought quickly left his mind, which
The cousin
Octavio.Octavio hands were tied tightly behind his back, and he could feel the rough ropes digging into his skin. His mouth was gagged, and he felt a lot of discomfort allover his body. One of Alberto’s men stood in front of him, a cruel smile on his face. The tall burly man held a knife in his hand. He walked around for a while before turning back and moving towards Octavio. He crouched down and dragged the blade slowly across the Octavio's chest, causing the young man to flinch and writhe in pain.“You thought you could mess with the wrong people, huh?” the man sneered. “Well, you're gonna regret that. We're gonna make you pay, one way or another.”Octavio desperately tried to plead with his eyes, hoping someone would come to his rescue. But no one was coming. He was alone with his tormentor, who continued to torture him with the knife, cutting him in small, shallow wounds. Octavio couldn’t help but wonder if his uncle was okay with the mutilation. The cuts were not very serious bu
