Clara, Gerow, and Juliet sat down together as they watched the dancer to swing their bodies to the flow of the music.But Clara was hardly looking at them, her mind focused on the cooperation. Her company was the youngest among those that were chosen for the nominationThe possibility that they were going to get it was very low. Her heart raced with anticipation.Juliet could sense the worries in her eyes as she turned over to her."Are you okay?" She inquired but Clara nodded her head to signal that she was fine. But Juliet already knew Clara better than to lie to her."You are worried about the cooperation aren't you?" She said slightly.Just then, Eddie made his way into the hall. He was already done with Sophia and wanted to enjoy the rest of the evening but too bad for him, his seat was structured right before Clara's.Juliet's teeth twisted with so much disdain as she went ahead to say."Must you always junk yourself into us?" He replied."You guys said I attract poverty the oth
The news was like a thousand spikes running through her nerves, her motions paralyzed on a spot.Juliet's face flooded with sweat. Her heart was pounding even after but all her attention was more confused on Clara.Juliet was worried that something terrible was going to happen to her so she quickly pulled over to Sophia, her face washed up with a confused expression."Clara, Clara, are you okay?" She called out.Even Gerow was confused thinking that they were finally going to figure it out, but it turned out that their hatred exceeded all boundaries.Juliet turned over to Eddie with a deadly snare that was enough to snap anyone off from their breaths and thundered at him."It's all your fault." Her voice re-echoed in the hall.Eddie was confused and angry at the same time but it was easy to know that Juliet wasn't worth someone getting angry about."How is it my fault?" He replied with a twitch in his facial expression while Juliet was still blowing hot red with anger. "You were the
Gerow was confused as to what they were talking about. A few minutes ago, he left them in such a sorry state but coming back, they were buzzing with excitement."What do you mean?" Gerow inquired, lost in the realms of his confusion.But Juliet's lips shifted into a really broad smile afterward. "You are so modest Gerow. After doing so much, you act as though it's nothing. You can help us to appreciate your Dad for the help." She beamed with a smile.Gerow was able to connect the two events and he understood nothing about what they were talking about."It's just a little issue that my dad could take care of with a call or two. It was nothing much so I didn't feel there was any worth telling your guys about it." He seemed to be calm but on the inside, he was swelling with pride.Even though he knew nothing about what had happened. The offer had been placed right before him, how could he reject such kindness?Clara's face brightened. She felt stupid for thinking that Eddie had anythi
The Devil Saw building was enough to send cold chills down the spine of anyone.This building stood at the very act of the city, likened to a buggy man's tale. A place that houses the underworld thugs of the city. Thugs that were bold enough to express their threats even in the face of the media.Even though the government knew the evil that went around in this building, no one dared to come up against it because of the people they had backing up their atrocities.The rotating motion of the chair brought to light Mr. Dave, the leader of the thugs that engulfed this building.Dressed in all his splendor, it was more like an office job for him. He was on his phone with a thick frown on his face.Mr. Klev just called and wanted a job done, not that it was unusual but taking a look at the punk in one phone, his frown deepened even more.Eddie looked sickly and wasn't worth his time. Could it be that all the thugs have gone missing from the city? Or Mr. Klev no longer saw his worth."Smac
There was a sense of arrogance in Collin's feet as he sprang up to his feet with a grin."Now that you realize who I am you are frightened huh?" His stare was directed towards Gerow.Gerow tried to squeeze through a smile, even though his family was doing well, a murder from the Devil's Saw was going to be swept under the rug"I thought we were friends, Mr. Collins, I was just trying to get to know you better." He quivered.He laughed, and someone else joined him too, not knowing what to do."That would be great. We should get to know each other too. Apart from being the son of Mr. Dave, you know what else I am, your ticket to heaven." He quickly said.More pee forced itself out through Gerow's reflexes. Collins and the rest of the gang soon rolled out into a mocking laughter.Then, Collins remembered that there was something that was left to be done and his laughter met with an abrupt stop.He turned around towards Clara and walked towards her with a grin. "You fool, you were the star
The men surged towards him at the same time, with the intent of crushing him down to dust.Everyone stared at Eddie with the looks that would give to an already dead man.Because in their eyes, he was already.There was no way that he could escape from the attack.But Eddie was unbothered. He continued to type words into his cell phone and only looked up once with the gaze of an unfazed Villain.With his phone on and with the other free hand, he struck a punch that went through every one of them.Like the speed of a lightning bolt, only Eddie's impact could be felt and he seemed to have molten into the wind.The crowd that had gathered to watch Eddie's downfall was petrified. Even Clara could not believe what lay before her.‘He had such a skill and kept it away from me.’ Were the thoughts that clouded Clara's mind as she watched the events unfold before her.Soon, all the men were all on the floor, all groaning with pain. How Eddie once looked quickly evolved.The groans of the thugs
Clara was stunned and angry at Eddie's behavior all together. But even though he didn't care for himself, he was going to get them into a lot of trouble?She quickly stepped forward to stop him before he was going to make even more mistakes, getting them into a lot more trouble than they were already."What do you think that you are doing Edward." She inquired with furrowed brows.Eddie took a quick stare at her while still keeping a watchful gaze at Collins who was still groaning in pain on the floor."I didn't realize how much time had gotten a hold of you, are you that old?" He replied and Clara didn't fail to notice his sarcastic remarks, making her frown."Do you think that this is a joke to you? Do you realize who his father is and what he is going to do if he dares to find out about this?" She replied, still putting up a deep frown."I know you have grown to become so selfish but if you aren't thinking about yourself, are you even thinking about the people that you would be ge
Collins was dragged off from the hall, while everyone stared in astonishment. Some had started to leave the place as soon as they could.They could already tell that sooner or later, Mr. Dave was going to barge in with his battalion to bring down the place. It was going to be disastrous, having anything to do with the incident.The numbers gradually continued to dwindle over time and soon, mostly Clara and her team coupled with Eddie were left in the hall.For a while, nobody spoke. They kept on moping at each other.But in the real sense, they were just lost in a daze, unable to distinguish reality from an illusion.They were yet to recover from the shocks that were running through their veins.But soon, Clara forged ahead to break the silence with these sayings on her lips."What's wrong with you Eddie? You thought that the man I married, even though was useless and pitiful, was at least humble.""By humble you meant watching someone end my life while I did nothing? Are you for re
