Elias was getting ready for the mission at hand. His guns and his poisoned daggers all lay unstrapped and bare in front of him. As he selected the best fits to take along with him, the door opened and his men came in. With them was that troublesome little thing that had almost brought him to shame today.

"What is he doing here? Did I not make myself clear enough?" Elias growled.

"I have some information." Jacob did not wait for the men to speak for him. "Something you would find very useful."

Information uhh? Elias breathed coldly, "Speak away then."

Jacob shook his head around, glancing at everybody else. "Take me to James Halton and I will say it in front of him."

The men shared strange looks with their boss. Elias followed with that same old loud laughter that Jacob hated so much, and he was aided by his men.

"Whatever you wanna say, boy, you are saying it here. To me." Elias hovered above Jacob, but the young boy had no fear in him. He did not show the signs of intimidation. Sudd

    Back to the present time. Uncle George was at his favourite spot in the new house, reading the letter that was meant for him. He had always known a day like this would eventually come. Now that it was here, he knew what he had to do.As soon as George heard footsteps, he placed the letter away. Helena came in, dressed as a princess. "I can see you are quite satisifed with your new clothes." George said. "I hope that means you have forgiven your brother."Helena shook her head. "Not until he tells me everything I want to know."George sighed. "You should know that Adrian is doing everything for your own sake. He wants to protect you."Helena gave a nod to that, she was not sure what to say. How could her brother protect her by leaving her in the dark? She had been waiting for a few more days, hoping he would show up here sooner. But he only kept delaying. What if he was only a liar when he told her on phone that he wanted to reveal everything to her? What if he has not shown up so far

    The inner circle meeting was taking place now. Every chief and every CEO was sat around the table while Federico Rodriguez began his speech."For many years, the inner circle has dictated the affairs of this country. We have enslaved the masses and we have collaborated with their leaders. True power has been with us more than anything ever seen. Yet these days, we have looked so weak to the outside world, and disrespect is beginning to set in".Some would say that his complaint was no fault of anyone else but his own family. It was his daughter who submitted herself to a lucky gambler and set the internet on fire. It was not them or their families. If anyone had truly made a joke of this association, it was Federico Rodriguez himself."Yet our biggest problem yet is not these side distractions. No. Our biggest problem is Sebastian Waters legacy". He left the space for silence and what followed was disgruntled murmurs from the associates. They were tired of hearing this name already, a

    A man stood in front of them, several feet tall. He was made of bulging muscles and his chest peeped beneath his shirt, barely covered by the extravagance of the suit. Adrian recognised him at once."Grenade." Adrian called, pointing at the man. He was one the specially trained security goons he had hired to protect his family. "You are the one I put in charge. Where is everybody? Where is my sister and my uncle?"Grenade sighed. "I am sorry, boss. I tried to warn her but the little mistress would not listen.""What are you talking about?" Adrian hated how this was sounding, where it might be heading. When people put in charge of dire responsibility make these kinds of apologies, it did not put the mind at rest."Your sister is safe." The man continued, much to Adrian's relief. "Then where is she?""She dismissed every single one of us and allowed only I to stay behind and guard the house. She said that the boys had been working nonstop for days, and they deserved to rest she gave th

    "What is he doing here?" Helena turned to Jorja, though her voice did not do justice to the volume of her thoughts. Jorja did not hear her, but as if she did, she marvelled over the beautiful sight of the two lovebirds."Jacob is one of our very special friends." She said. "He is a very smart and very determined young man.""And very treacherous too." Helena thought. If only Jorja knew what Jacob had done to her. How he had colluded with evil men to throw her into an eternal world of oblivion. The very sight of him made her cringe. There was nothing she could do. She would just rather walk away, taking delight in the more interesting and less poisonous things at the party.As soon as Helena walked forward, away from Jacob's gaze and away from Jorja's guide, Peter pulled back his wife to have a conversation. "Okay, we got the girl in the right position, the show is over now. We can finish the job." He moaned lowly."Not yet, Elias. You have to be patient." Jorja said. "Mr Halton has s

    In the middle of the cold street, not far from the partying house and its doctored guests, an old friend sat in the comfort of the limousine and conversed with the troubled mouthpiece of the inner circle."Chairman Rodriguez has asked for your help." James Halton said. "He sees you are the best person who can see this storm to an end. He promises to reward you abundantly if you help him this time."His companion sighed. "Many years ago, I gave up on the life of riches. Federico Rodriguez knows that I do not care about his wealth. I was chosen by the deeper circle for a reason, and it did not include wealth."James Halton sighed. He could not speak out of turn in front of this person, but he needed to secure a deal. That was why the chairman had sent him this far."Why hasn't Federico come to see me himself?" The figure continued. "Him and Astana, they are making things ugly in Ravendale. The boss is getting angry. So they might be replaced, them and their entire families.""Forgive us

    Helena tried to run the other way, but there were people circled around her. It was as if every single breathing thing in that environment was turned against her in the passing of a second. Jorja had been so sweet and kind at first, now she looked like one of those heartless sluts on TV who didn't care about anything else but themselves.Helena's hand was tightly held by the bearded man who was supposed to be Peter but was Elias. If he was not Peter, then what is to say that Jorja was really Jorja. The men in black found them. "Hand over the girl, Elias. We will take it from here."Elias frowned and smirked. "You want to go fuck her? Cause it is either that or you go and fuck yourself.""Mr Halton has told us what to do with the girl. Hand her over." The men demanded again, edging closer with each statement. Elias seemed determined not to release his prize to any of them."Your boss will see me himself. And he will speak to me himself.""What is wrong with you?" The one in charge as

    Adrian found the house where the party had taken place. He checked every room, every corner. He screamed Helena's name. He called for George too. There was no response. There was nobody in the building. For a place where a party was supposed to have taken place only a few minutes ago, it looked as empty and as silent as a graveyard."Where is my sister?" He asked the system.The system chimed. "If you are summoning your reward for past missions, then you will have to declare that to me, CEO Blood.""Yes I am. Tell me where she is."A map appeared before his eyes and Helena's location glistened in red. He followed eagerly only to find that he was standing in the centre of the road. Over there were two people walking in his direction. "Uncle! Helena!!" When he got to them, he saw that they were both okay. Although in Helena's eyes, there were traces of weakness."What happened?" He asked, helping his sister back to the mansion."I found her lying in the middle of the road." George said

    Ricardo Rodriguez and his father were a long way away from home. A specially built edifice on the very edge of the world, it was the most mysterious place in the universe.As impressive as this location was, nothing came close to the caliber of men who were in attendance. The most powerful men all across the world. The richest men in China, India, Korea, Singapore, and even the United States of America. Ricardo had never seen so many men of influence in one room, and here he was among them."Who is the kid?" An old voice said. The face of the speaker, Ricardo could not see. The man sat far away at the top and above everybody else. No matter how powerful the men present were, this person seemed to be their absolute boss. Everyone arranged on either side of the room, keeping their heads down to receive his orders. They looked at the boy in question, he was not meant to be here.Federico hurried and explained. "Supreme leader, this is my son that I told you about. I thought that it is t

    As soon as Adrian Blood came out to see him, Lucas was walking away, surrounded by some of Rodriguez men. Ricardo Rodriguez was standing in front of him, saying some things to his ears. When he noticed the approach of Adrian Blood, he quickly dismissed Lucas, and the men took him away."What is he doing here?" Adrian asked. "That man attempted to murder me."Ricardo forced a smile. "Relax, Adrian. He will be punished for that. But there are not many men with the talent that Lucas possesses. We need him if we are going to accomplish our mission. After that has been achieved, he will die. I promise." Adrian Blood was not convinced. He still had his doubts. "You are planning something, are you not?" He knew that Ricardo was pretending to like him all along, but he did not expect him to do such a bad job at it."You still do not trust me?" Ricardo seemed hurt. "Yes, I have despised you for many years, but when you saved my sister... when you saved Lyana, the story changed."Ricardo gave

    "You lowlife! Get your hands off me!" Melissa Rodriguez demanded in fury."How dare you lay your hands on the chairwoman?!" Lady Murray was screaming in anger."How dare the chairwoman lay her hands on Lyana?" Adrian Blood asked calmly. Then the calm dissolved away. "No one lays a hand on my girlfriend. Ever." He was domineering and strong. His eyes held a cold warning that the chairwoman could not ignore."How... how dare you..." She stuttered. Her voice was running low, less and less firm than it used to be. Adrian Blood possessed an energy of dominance, demonlike in nature. Not anyone could resist that.When he let go, the entire place was as silent as suspense. Lady Murray breathed in exasperation. The maids all looked down in fear, afraid the chairwoman would catch their happy faces. Julia wore suprise and awe, but nothing like resentment. And Lyana was most honoured by this presentation.Finally, the chairwoman got a grip of herself again. She backed away slowly, and all her loy

    Lyana looked sparkling pretty in her flowing dress. She wore that marvellous smile of happiness as she approached Adrian. "Did the meeting go well?" She asked in concern. Adrian Blood smiled. "Very well." He turned back towards the slightly open door. "What is going on in there?""My stepmother is choosing her new maids. She changes her maids every month." Lyana Rodriguez did not seem happy talking about Melissa Rodriguez. Aristocrats in Ravendale were known for their nature of self superiority, but nobody was as superior as Melissa Rodriguez. She believed that nobody had the right to serve her for more than a month. She thought she was so special. A big suprise how old Julia had managed to remain with her for so long. Although the truth was that old Julia never belonged to Melissa, she belonged to Lyana's mother. Melissa only stole her, just like she stole every other thing that belonged to Lyana's mom."Have I ever asked you, how did your mother die?"The smile of happiness, which

    As soon as Adrian Blood stepped out of the meeting, he started thinking of a hundred ways to complete his mission. To expose the CEO's identity would mean to expose himself. Of course, there was no way he would do that. He still had a lot of things to gain from this secret identity. Besides, he was not going to put Uncle George and his sister, Helena in danger.Speaking of Helena, earlier, when Federico made the request for Adrian to track down Hans Zimmer and Adrian accepted, Adrian also made his own request to the chairman."What is it this time? I already gave you my daughter." Chairman Rodriguez had said."There is a particular boy, one who has offended me a great deal." Adrian had stated.Ricardo Rodriguez had smirked. "What is it? You have all the money in the world now, Adrian. You can't take care of a little boy?""Of course I can, but not when the boy is under the protection of this noble family." Adrian's gaze has shifted upon James Halton, making everyone to turn in the sam

    In the separate room, only four men were present. Federico Rodriguez sat at the other end of the table, facing his new acquaintance, Adrian Blood. On his right side was his son, Ricardo. James Halton stood on the other side."What is it you want to discuss so much, Mr Blood? We were having a nice celebration, you know." Federico Rodriguez broke the long silence, staring straight into Adrian Blood's eyes.The celebration was for Lyana and the ladies who loved to indulge in parties. The men took no part in it, only false pretences when they bore hate in their hearts. Adrian knew this, James Halton always gave him the side eyes, Ricardo Rodriguez was full of fake smiles. Of course, they were only here for a main reason, why not just focus on that point. Adrian Blood looked at the three men. He scanned their faces. He did not expect it to be this easy to gain their acknowledgement. What if they had found out his identity? He needed to know that this was not a trap for him. He needed to c

The man who humiliated him at every single chance that he got. How was he supposed to forget all that in a jiffy? How was he supposed to move beyond all that because of a few presents?

    Teresa still remained on one spot, now on her knees, shivering in tears and shaking her head. So many regrets that she just had right now. So many things that would be going through her mind. Why did she do it? She should have apologized to Adrian. She should not have tried to set him up. More than regret, her mind was filled with vengeance."So you posted her nudes for the entire world to see, you are such an unpredictable fellow. I must have underestimated you, Adrian Blood." Luther Astana said.Lyana ignored all the stares and held Adrian by the hand. She was certain now that Adrian Blood would never betray her. If he was a cheater like Luther Astana, then he would have cheated on her with Teresa Williams and nothing like this would have happened."Thank you, Adrian." She held him with love and care, staring in his eyes. "I am sorry that I ever doubted you. It will never happen again." She promised."What are you saying, Lyana?

Her only purpose was for revenge against Trevor Steele, nothing more. Adrian Blood was ready to let her go."Please, Adrian... just one chance..." she brings her lips closer for the final, threatening to actually kiss him this time. Lyana Rodriguez was red on the face where she stood, ready to rain down hell."Now get off me." Adrian said, finally tired of this rubbish. Following the statement, he pulled himself away from the chair, forcing Bethany Lawrence to quickly hold on to something. Before she could find a strong support, she was landing flat on the floor, half naked. "Wooo... what just happened now?" The onlookers were surprised.Adrian turned around to find Lyana Rodriguez standing right there. He realised she must have been there all along."Lyana, what a surprise..." He saw the look on her eyes.
