Call of Revenge: Hitman in the City Ch-24 : Hunger pangs
Jack's tone remained calm as he took in what he had said, and informed the lawyer, "I'll be in touch soon." With a swift motion, he pulled the hood over his head, concealing his features once again. Andres had become visibly anxious by now, and asked with his panic rising;"Wait! Are you going somewhere?" Jack nonchalantly replied with a shrug, putting his hands in his pockets. "Yes, I've got some important work." Saying this, he didn't stop to explain before he started walking towards the exit, prompting Andres to start shouting out of panic;"But… but you said you will let me go! Then why am I still tied up?Jack turned around, facing the restrained lawyer with a sly grin."Well, your memory is quite dull for a lawyer– I guess that's why you need to use such underhanded tactics to win the case.But anyway, I did say I will let you go, just not when. Relax and try to become comfortable here, and you will become free once Robert Wendell is taken care of."By now, fear and panic wa
Call of Revenge: Hitman in the City Ch-25 : Anything for Revenge
Jack's eyes narrowed in suspicion, as he saw the girl trying to deflect his question. She flashed him a disarming smile before declaring;"Me…? Nothing at all!" But once again, her sentence was punctuated by her stomach rumbling audibly, giving away the fact that her nonchalant approach was nothing more than an act.Jack asked again, softening his tone;"Are you hungry?" The girl's face had gone beet red by now, and she just smiled awkwardly, before responding with a hesitant "maybe." "Why? Haven't you eaten anything since the morning?"The girl was natural quite eager to divert attention from this topic, and tried to dismiss it as she jumped up, saying;"That's what I was just about to do." As soon as she said this, she tried to get up from the booth and leave, but Jack clearly saw through her lie. After all, who comes to a pub for breakfast?! His gaze fell on a corner of her shirt, which had snagged on something and gotten torn. Without warning, he reached for her wrist as she
Call of Revenge: Hitman in the City Ch-26 : Mirage or Truth?
Although Jack had entrusted the care of his mother and daughters to Megan, a subtle undercurrent of worry persisted within him. Despite his level of trust, the fear of potential threats lingered in his mind. As long as Megan's identity remained associated with the Scavenger, there was a major risk of someone keeping an eye on her. Even if he trusted Megan blindly and she had no connection to Robert Wendell, the possibility of her attracting unwanted attention from her own enemies might put Jack's family at risk, as they might get caught in the crossfire. Since he had watched the car leave his mother's driveway, he had been thinking of some way to make sure of it. But then, as soon as he had heard about the girl seeking a job, an idea had clicked in Jack's mind. This girl didn't have any connections to the underworld, except being the sister of a victim. Being a college student and a female, nobody would bother to track her as a potential threat. Jack contemplated this new possib
Call of Revenge: Hitman in the City Ch- 27: You're alive?!
As Jack's curiosity reached its peak, he decided that he could not keep sitting and watching from a distance. Thinking this, he got up and sneakily went behind the bar counter, and into the room concealed behind it. Once he was inside, he stood in the shadow of the large door, silently observing the man who had caught his attention. Although the man had a short and stout figure, his mannerisms and body language displayed an air of affluence and authority. Dressed in a finely tailored gray suit, he was wearing a maroon cravat around his neck and holding a drink in his hand, while chatting with some guests. Jack's eyes narrowed as he looked at the man's appearance from head to toe and felt a rush of recognition. Once he was close enough to hear some snippets of their conversation, the man's voice sealed the deal in Jack's mind – it was undeniably him! Without hesitation, he approached them, his emotions bubbling to the surface. In a sudden burst of emotion, he punched the man in the
Call of Revenge: Hitman in the City Ch- 28 : Home
Although Jack was quite intrigued by the mysterious turn of events and Toby's connection to the pub, he had to prioritize matters properly. Unexpectedly enough, his problem of funds that he needed to purchase a home in his name, had been solved by Toby. So now, he shifted the conversation to a matter of greater urgency.Instead of beating around the bush, he asked directly;"I can't thank you enough for that, and I will definitely get in touch with you for accessing that fund for my daughters. But first of all, do you know anything about illegal drug activity in this city, under the name of a certain Robert Wendell?"A dark shadow of seriousness appeared on Toby's face as he heard this, and he spoke after a brief pause."Right, is that for a new investigation? Just wait here for a while, and I'll be right back."Without waiting for Jack to respond, Toby just got up and left after fixing his blazer. Five minutes later, he returned, placing an envelope on the table and slid it towards
Call of Revenge: Hitman in the City Ch-29 : Trust?
Jack's POV:As I saw my little girl teeter on the edge of her high chair, my heart skipped a beat. The potential danger felt like a ton of rocks pressing on my chest, threatening to crush me.In that split second, an unknown fear gripped my heart in its claws, and I lunged forward, arms outstretched, desperate to catch her before she hit the ground.The relief that washed over me when I felt her small body in my arms was overwhelming. But the poor child was probably terrified, and she began to shriek loudly. However, I tried my best to calm her down, and she slowly began to feel more comfortable as I cooed and reassured her. Holding her close to myself, I looked at her small face which had become red, feeling grateful that my instinctive reaction had saved her.Only when she had almost fallen asleep, did my gaze shift towards the young woman sitting on the couch, looking at Dottie as if she was even more shocked than the toddler herself!I bit back a smile somehow, even though I wan
Call of Revenge: Hitman in the City Ch-30 : Special Guest!
Jack's POV:As I scan my card at the subway station, the hum of the bustling city surrounding me also seems distant, as the sounds are drowned out by the loud chatter of my thoughts. It was true that I have become wary of letting people into my life, and I was also aware that my traumatic past had dug its nails inside my mind and left its scars, forever altering the lens through which I will view the world.But even though I was aware of how these events have made me cold and uncaring, at least I know one thing for sure– I would never readily extend my trust, especially not to a woman. Just the thought of trusting someone with my vulnerabilities, was enough to make me shudder. The scars of betrayal ran deep, echoing in my mind like a haunting chant.No matter how much I try, I can't forget her– Rebecca, the one for whom I was willing to lay my life on the line. She left me without a glance in my direction, or even thinking about our children… and just for some cash?I was also will
Call of Revenge: Hitman in the City Ch- 31 : Making an alliance?
Mortimer was completely taken aback, as he didn't anticipate this carefree and no- shits- given attitude from Jack right now.Meanwhile, Jack maintained a slightly condescending look on his face. On the inside, he was silently enjoying the lawyer's discomfort, and pressed on with his question. "Tell me, what will happen next? Since you are so sure that someone will find out any minute now… then please don't leave me on this note of suspense. What do you think will happen when your words become the reality, and everyone does find out that you are being held captive? Hm..?" The room hung with suspense as Mortimer struggled to formulate a response to this, and Jack continued uninterrupted."The most anyone will be able to do is to mourn and cry bitterly over your corpse– what more do you expect them to do?"His almost pitiful gaze remained fixed on Mortimer, and in that moment, the cunning lawyer finally understood something. His sense of panic and urgency heightened even more, when

Margaret, Lucas Giorgio’s wife, gasped loudly at Jack's words, her hand flying to her mouth in shock. Lucas himself looked like he was close to fainting, his face turning ashen as he gripped the back of a nearby chair for support."What—what are you saying?" Margaret stammered. "Amelia wanted to kill Lucas? How can that be! How do we know it is even our Amelia, because that sweet girl would never put the blame for an accident on her beloved aunt and uncle—""Stop it! Just stop trying to convince everyone with your lies now, can't you see it's not working?”It was Megan’s voice which had interrupted her aunt's act. Her ace was completely twisted with fury as she was looking at Margaret, and she spat out;"Did you two really think that you could get rid of all your problems by kicking me out of the house? You killed my parents, both of you! And you thought I would just accept that fate? Not even in your dreams—"Just then, Megan shut her mouth, her eyes widening as if she had just reali

As soon as the police team surrounded her, Megan felt more and more suffocated, like her freedom was being snatched from her in front of her eyes.That's why, she opted for the best method she could think of: screaming at the top of her lungs, and hoping that everyone would believe that this was a set- up and they needed to save her, not arrest her "You don't understand! This is all a set-up… he… he wants to frame me for his wrongdoings! I haven't done anything wrong, you need to help me! Please!"The policeman standing behind Megan interrupted her with a stern voice. "Enough! Miss Simmons, don't forget that anything you say, can and will be held against you in the court of law. I suggest you continue the rest of this conversation with a lawyer."Megan's eyes darted around the room, filled with desperation and fear. The Giorgio family members, standing there stunned, slowly came out of their trance and started to react. Her supposed fiancé, Richie, was the first to step forward, wh

It was almost four o'clock in the morning, by the time Jack finally found another parking lot in the city, which matched the description of the park that the girls had told him about. He ran around the park, searching everywhere with his flashlight, until he saw an unconscious figure lying near the row of bushes planted at the edge of the park. Jack went closer to investigate, and it was none other than Amy… she was lying face down into the ground, her body twisted into a vulnerable heap. The vibrant pink flowers on the bush were contrasting starkly with the sight of Amy's motionless form… and the sight of her filled him with a dread he hadn't felt in years. His heart raced as he knelt beside her, checking for a pulse. To his relief, it was there… her pulse was faint, but at least she was still breathing. Carefully lifting her into his arms, her head resting against his shoulder. His heart was pounding dramatically as he made his way to the car. The park was eerily quiet at t

It had really taken him an entire eternity of moments to digest what just had happened in front of him.He could not believe that Megan does not just shoot Rebecca, without letting her complete her sentence…but she has shot her in front of his children.Although he didn't have any compassion for her, but she was still the mother of his children and in any case she never deserved to die this brutally.And absolutely not in front of their kids, also he was still shocked at this act of Megan, because there was no plan of killing Rebecca at all.Then why she had taken this rash decision was something that was bothering him, as she didn't even care about the trauma of the kids that they might get because of this horrifying act of hers.While he was trying get any clue regarding this act of Megan bu

That evening, the atmosphere at the Giorgio family estate was tense after the chaotic events at the party. Lucas Giorgio, still shaken from the unexpected gunshot, wanted everyone to stay inside for their safety. "No one leaves the house today, and stay close to your guards at all times. I don't know what disaster God has rescued us from." He declared sternly, his voice leaving no room for argument.Everyone fell silent, but Amelia stood up, her face set in defiance. "Actually, I want to go out," she said, her voice trembling. "I can't stay caged in my room, I feel so suffocated in this house."Lucas turned to her, his eyes flashing with anger. "Amelia, did you not see what happened at the Renaldi's? This is not the time to be out and about."Her grandmother gave her son a harsh look, signaling that she would handle it. She then spoke to Megan,"Darling, you know what happened tonight. It's too dangerous. We have just got you back, we can't afford to lose you again–"Amelia's fru

Ch-128: Smashed!
Rebecca arrived at the designated spot, a grim, abandoned parking lot that felt a world away from her past life. She had put on her best dress, which was still crumpled and worn out, but she couldn't care less about it right now. She waited, anxiety coiling in the pit of her stomach while she fidgeted with her chipping nails. But her neck snapped up attentively as soon as she heard the unmistakable click- clack of expensive heels echoing through the hallway.Turning towards the sound, Rebecca saw her arrive. The girl who stepped into view stood out sharply in their surroundings— she was dressed in designer clothes, carrying expensive accessories, and exuding an air of confidence and privilege. So, this girl had made no effort to hide exactly how wealthy she was… and despite not knowing her identity, Rebecca recognized her as someone from Jack's acquaintances– maybe she was an old co- worker? She didn't know many details, but maybe she had inherited some wealth recently? But in any

The atmosphere in the restaurant had been perfectly pleasant, and the hum of conversation and the clinking of cutlery was flowing perfectly well with the soft tunes of Oriental music.Everything was so soothing that can urge anyone to have a closer look of the place and the same was going with the people sitting there, as they were sitting there peacefully, unknown from the hypocrisy going on there.Until the sudden, sharp sound of a fist meeting flesh echoed through the air, silencing everyone and drawing the attention towards the reception. People turned their heads, and eyes widened in surprise as they saw an imposing man standing over a fallen waiter, his fist still clenched, anger blazing in his eyes.

Jack started to lead Amy towards the door by her hand, and Amy tugged at his hand. Jack sensed it immediately and stopped, looking at her with concern."Is everything okay?""Yeah, I just wanted to say thank you…" Amy replied, feeling a blush creep up her cheeks. "Thank you for the dress and the watch, they are both beautiful."Jack smiled, pulling her close for a quick kiss. "Only the best for my darling. Now, are you ready for our date, or is there something else you want to say?"Amy nodded, her excitement bubbling up once more.
